So, now i have a iphone 4s from my 4, i have a few cases and most of them fit just fine... but anytime i take a picture at night with the case on and the flash on the picture gets washed out. either its the whole picture or just a corner of it... is the flash like more powerful ? do i need a different case? i tried it with my otterbox and it was also washed out. anyone else have this problem?

p.s when the case is off the picture is fine with the flash on at night.
 
did you not read the part where it says. if theres no case on it the flash work fine? and i dont think i could even get the iphone in the ottherbox case with the plastic on it. and the plastic has been in the garage for 3 days now.
 
Mine is doing the same. I used the same case with my iphone 4 and all was fine. Now I get a washed out picture with flash on the 4s.

Anyone have a case that will work?
 
iphone 4s camera flash supposed to go off twice? didnt notice before, the flash seems to go off twice, once before and then as the picture is being taken.

If the case is a clear case try taking a black marker and going around the inside part of the flash cutout. I've heard this works.

Same problem, slightly annoying but not a huge deal to me personally. I wonder if there is some type of matte coating or material we can play around it to diffuse the flash from reflecting.
 
Taking the film off th back works

I thought my white phone had a bad problem with washed out flash shots

Forgot I left the protective film on the back

Removed and AOK

THANKS!!!!

The Apple Bumper works great and has absolutely no chance of interfering with the flash :D
