Just ordered Iphone 4S White - Best Case to SHOW the WHITE?

Product says it's for iPhone 4 ATT. Means it won't fit the 4S. I'd be very wary of cases that have a small cutout for the mute switch and their own volume covers even if they do say it's compatible with 4S.

I've seen numerous complaints about cases like these not fitting the 4S correctly even though it says it does. My theory is, companies were quick to add that they are compatible with 4S's not knowing that it was based off the Verizon model.

So for now, if you get these types of cases, make sure they are CDMA model compatible.
 
Hey guys I need suggestions I like a white 4S with a black case.
I had in mind the Switcheasy Trim in black but I don't know how it would look with the white phone, anybody got a pic?
Or any other ideas for black case white phone?

What degree of protection are you looking for.

I'm looking for something that can take some damage. I ride bike a lot and I'm always afraid to fall and crush my phone. I'm currently rocking an Otterbox Defender but it's way too bulky. Tried the Lifeproof but it's way too ugly. I want something strong but slim and stylish. Is it impossible to find?

Yes.

But remember adding screen protectors doesn't just act as screen protection is strengthens the glass as tape on windows does in hurricanes :)
 
I've had a Case-Mate Pearl White Barely-There cover for about a week now. It's a pretty good cover. There were a few rough spots from the plastic moulding process, but I used a nail file and smoothed them out. It is more of a metallic white than pearl white, but it looks GREAT, IMHO.

Picked up a white Incipio Feather tonight at Target on the way home.

Looks really nice....but in the end I will probably return it.

I need something with a lip so I can put the phone face down.....and I don't do screen protectors.

It does look and feel really nice though.

Hey Steve, I also picked up a white Incipio Feather but I ordered it on Amazon and wasn't sure if it is a knock off. Did your case have a glossy and shimmery look/feel?

I'm not Steve but yes, the case does that have shimmery look, it's more of a pearl white color. :)

what is this case?

That's a fake power support case in white - I had one from ebay for $12 or so but I am not recommending it - within 2-3 hours in your jean pocket the case started turning blue - it also started getting grey (dirty) after 2-3 days. I'm extremely careful with my phone so this is really disappointing and I am warning you guys not to buy it.

Is it me or does the mute switch look like its positioned horribly in the photos? I thought they were updating the design for the location of the 4S switch?

It looks large enough to cover all the 4 models. Just like the Apple bumper.
 
SGP seems to be adding new cases every few days. I bought the Linear Crystal in white on release date and just ordered the new all while Neo Hybrid :D

Here's my phone with the Linear Crystal. The fit isn't as tight as I'd like but looks great nonetheless.

How is the back holding up? Many hairline scratches?

Nope, still very clear and it's been on all kinds of surfaces. I do have flashback, but only in very dark areas. That's why I went with the Neo hybrid. I'll leave the back with a protector film or leather skin.

Here's a pic mixing it with the Dante Red case because for whatever reason, the whole black bumper part just wouldn't fit. And I'm too lazy to send it back lol. Excuse the quality, I took these with my iPad

Id like to know if this case affects the flash. I have the Griffin reveal with clear/white, and the white bumper style case still messes up photos taken with a flash.

The Neo Hybrid is just a bumper. There is no back plate.

I wrapped mine with Wrapsol. Doesn't give u the best protection but I love the naked look of the phone.
