Case washes out camera flash

[Luis Ortega]

I like to use a flap case on my iphone to protect the front glass as well as the sides and back, but I can't find a phone case that doesn't cause the flash to turn the photo flat and grey.
When I take the same shot without a case, the flash works well but with the case on the photos are useless.
I have tried to cut the lens/flash hole in the case bigger, but this didn't work.
Can anyone suggest a case with a front flap that also allows the camera flash to work without interference?

You don't specify which device you're using.

At first, iPhone 4 cases came out and they fitted the camera and flash perfectly, in a kind of double oval shape.

Manufacturers realised this was an issue, and so many cases were updated late 2010 with wider camera openings.

Those are the cases you want.

I know that I need a larger camera/flash opening to avoid the flare and interference in the shot when the flash fires, but I can only find those in body cases.
I want a flap case with a good rear opening for the flash and lens.

My bad.

I've heard Sena cases are good flip ones.

That's at $69, but there are cheaper ones which compromise little, such as this:

which weighs in at $52.

I haven't personally seen these cases, but I have seen good reviews and they seem okay. A little pricey, but if they give you what you need, then you might as well splash out just once, eh?

So I guess there really was a reason why Speck made their cutouts even bigger.

They've already enlarged them once. It used to be a form factor fitting at the back for Speck cases but ended up being more of an ovular/rectangle full cut-out around the camera. I don't think there was any necessity for further cut-outs.

I thought it looked nice, but protection wise, would it not let more things get under the case? :S

It doesn't worry me too much, I'll put on a full-body protector, but still...
