I picked up an iPhone 4S today, and my iPhone 4 case didn't fit because - as I'm sure you know - Apple adjusted the position of the mute switch. I can't use it. Does anyone know if there is a 4S specific version? All the sites say "fits 4 and 4S", but I'm not sure that's accurate since mine doesn't fit.

Thanks in advance for any help. :)
 
Yes, here are the comparison shots:

4S with Power Support Crystal Film vs 4 with 3M Carbon Di-Noc on back

Speck should have dropped the top of the Mute switch hole down to cover that antenna gap on the 4S (top).

I do have some film bubbling issues around the enlarged camera/flash hole on the 4S case.

Texture, feel, pliability of the material is exactly the same as the iPhone 4/AT&T case from 16 months ago. Button action is as good as ever.

I'd suggest Speck do some minor design adjustments: 1) extend the edge of the camera/flash hole away from so close to the side of the phone, and 2) lower the top of the Mute Switch hole to cover that antenna gap.
 
How do know which cases have been redesigned? Do all of the ones that say 4/4S work for both?
 
Anyone with a 4S compatible version wanna trade for mine which only fits the 4? PM me :)
 
The cases made for the Verizon iPhone fit the 4S. That's what I'm using.

God, the new camera cutout is huge. I don't think I could deal with that.

I don't mean this rudely, but what does it matter? The camera cut out is a little larger....so what? It's still a very tiny space that's exposed, and the case is still top notch. Ya know?

IMO, it just looks tacky. The camera cutout doesn't need to be that big. I have the old camera cutout and it works just fine.

Well, it doesn't look like they make that case with the old camera cutout.

I'm willing to sacrifice it though for the quality of the case itself.
