I bought a two pack of the hard shell cases from target a few days before the 4s came out. I was worried that my 4s would come in before the cases I ordered online would, and they were the only ones that I could find locally that said they fit the "Verizon" iPhone. They had a goofy looking pattern design on the back, and only covered the back of the phone and the metal band. The front edge of the glass was exposed. Basically they provided the same protection as a back skin would, but looked like **** in the process. I ended up giving them away as I was able to find a Speck candyshell on launch day. If you are considering these, I would strongly encourage an incase snap, or one of the many others like it that cover the entire side of the phone.
