So i finally decided on the incase snap in smoke (i don't like clear cases at all). I already have a Colors and a Belkin Grip Vue. I've always wanted to try something like the snap but thought they were way overpriced. So this is the best way to try out such a thin minimal case. I ordered it today, the 26th, and the delivery date is august 30th.
 
Originally ordered the Speck Fitted Case, however after reading the reviews on here decided to cancel that one and reordered the Spec Pixelskin HD...

My original shipping date was August 27th, now its October 20th....
 
I too don't understand the attraction to the HD case...but whatever.
I'm going with one of the Griffin options...Reveal or Motif. I have a White Reveal (with clear back) right now. I like the case but the clear back shows scratches too much. Also the White has discolored to an off white even after cleaning. I don't recommend a White rubber bumper/case.
Oh, and Apple is ridiculous for offering only black cases. What a sham.
 
Yeah after seeing close ups of the pixle skin HD the back looks meh gonna call Apple and see if i can switch to the Bumper
 
Griffin Motif iPhone 4 Diamond

I purchased the "Griffin Motif iPhone Diamond" at Best Buy a few weeks ago when I received my iPhone 4. This is a great case and I have been very pleased with the grip, protection, look and feel.

The only downside is that I couldn't use a ZAGG Invisible Shield with this case because the edges of the shield peeled up after putting the phone in the case. I went through two shields and even had Best Buy install it and still encountered the issue.

I wouldn't get another case if it wasn't free. I am trying to decide between the "Incase Snap Case for iPhone 4 - Clear" or the "Belkin Shield Micra for iPhone 4 -Clear".

When I decided to buy my first case I was deciding between the Griffin Motif and the "Belkin Grip Vue for iPhone 4 - Clear" at Best Buy. I really liked the Belkin but the Griffin's fit was slightly more snug.

I'm hoping someone is going to get their hands on a couple of these and review them before Apple's deadline to decide.
 
Getting the Bumper, cause it's one of the most expensive and I'd never pay for it. After seeing the Griffin Motif though, I think I'll pay for one of those.
 
Pixel HD
Fits over almost all protector skins
No flash wash issue
Easy to get in and out for docking, etc.
"rubbery" material will have better shock absorption for impacts

I think that's why it's so popular

I plan to get one down the road. For now I'm using a cheap Rocketfish.
Didn't feel like waiting 3 months for it.

Pixelskin HD does not fit over Zagg, and I can't imagine it fitting over any SP.
 
Can you post a link?

sorry the video was not the HD(that's a bit confusing)

However, my friend is using the HD with the BSE's. Texted him and he said he has to sometimes lightly pull the front up to make it overlap the screen protector after he initially puts the case on. Don't know about other brands.
 
Anyone know if the Griffin Reveal Etch will also pull up screen protectors? And how easy would it be for dust to get inside the case?

Thanks....I am hoping that one of these free cases doesnt pull up the SP.
 
wow bumper is taking back the lead, i guess it is due to the bumper is shipping where as the other ones not shipping ...

vote guys what you have chosen.
 
Which case would you say has the most resale value? I am going with a white bumper I purchased off eBay plus Gelaskin and PS Crystal so I don't plan on using the case/bumper. I could keep it as a backup but I'd rather just sell it and put the $ toward an Otterbox Defender for travel/gym purposes.

Thoughts?
 
Apple just added two new cases to the list by griffin. They are the perforated silicone cases.
 
so, ah, my bumper shipped from apple earlier in the week... according to the shipping info they provided, it's our for delivery today in PA, and I live in VA
