So you're mad they say it's compatible or you're mad because they say it's not? Or... what?

Otterbox sued for Lying about iphone 4S?

I was told the same thing by a rep at Otterbox. If you call and ask they will tell you.
It isn't moved. It just behaves differently and reacts poorly to anything being near it or over it.
ordered new cases and bumpers thinking it was the same as the iPhone 4!!!!!
:/ It pays to read.

I ordered this otterbox case
It says compatible with verizon and AT&T iPhone 4. Will it fit on the new 4S?

Im thinking that the cases really are a little different. The only reason I say this is because of the antennae redesign in the 4s. Also by the looks of the things that I can see are changed on the case are the cutouts around the camera and light sensor. Im thinking that otterbox may have gotten some complaints about their case interfering with the camera and the light sensor.
What is the real reason for your failed witch-hunt with fake quotes? Please share... seriously.
This is the second thread the OP has started on this subject. Guess he didn't like when his last one was moved to the accessories forum..

So they are providing misinformation as well right http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/iphone-4s-pics/
Look, all I know is what I have to look at, not what some unknown blogger states in their story. I have both an iPhone 4 ATT white and black phone. The sensor is in the same spot. I have cases that cover the front of the phones and have cutouts for the sensor and there is not problem with either the black or white iPhone. When I look at it, they look to be in the same location. Also, plenty of other case companies that make cases that cover the front of the iPhone like the Defender does have said that their cases are compatible. Furthermore, I have spoken with Apple customer service reps as have others and they have said the only difference is the change in the location of the silent switch, which matches the current location of the CDMA iPhone4. I don't think Apple moved the location of the sensor. But maybe I am totally wrong and did not do my homework well enough.
This is just like the debate about the white iPhone being thicker than the black iPhone.
