That patchworks case is beautiful from the front. Why cant these companies make a hard plastic version in addition to the metal ones?? sigh
 
Just bought the new Vapor Pro in purple. Will post pics when I get it.

To continue my Iphone case setup pics, I had to quote myself from an earlier post as I can only post so many pics in a post. Here is the second round.

This case was recommended by another member (I think it was the seller cus these cases are UTTER GARBAGE!) Here is the ebay link so you know to avoid! http://www.ebay.ca/itm/320823298588?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Heres the Meritline link for it for $2 plus free shipping!!!! http://www.meritline.com/iphone-4-4...?hq_e=el&hq_m=2383796&hq_l=65&hq_v=0058b40369

First is the white case, it does not have a lip on the front so you cannot lay this face down, thus whats the point of the design on the back? Also the chrome strip is raised so this will get scratched off within days of use.

And here is the black, also Garbage! it has an aluminum back cover over the plastic body. When I got it the aluminum back was lifting off the plastic. This also does not have a lay on table design. for the front. Thus the design on the back is totally useless unless someone sees it while your talking on it.

Here is the ZooGue I got that was "free" I got the black and white case and paid like $10 for shipping. I feel I overpaid!!! Not impressed, the case was bulging over the sleep button, so I had to use a utility knife to cut down the plastic inside the case, now its flush, but there is no tactile feel to it anymore. Not a bad case, but I would never had picked it up if it wasn't advertised as "FREE".

Here is a $2 case from Meritline.com, thats two dollars with shipping included. Its just like the INCASE that I reviewed in part 1, only diff is the $28 difference and the incase cracked where this one never, Things that make you go Hmmmmm. It does fit very very tight, the wrap dont help, but I think the fat white iphone is the problem.

Finally got the Magpul case. VERY HAPPY with it, like everyone else that has one, I think its the best so far. I loved my Incipio, the very first case I owned, and the Vapor Comp black ops is a great looking case, but the magpul is just so nice in the hand, offers protection, buttons have nice feel, it looks nice if you look closely. I think this is it for the Case Hunt for me. My wife will be releived also. This forum has pushed me to search out the best case, and I think I finally found it. Thank you MacRumors, but I shall be leaving now.

I have updated my Part 2 for those interested. GOOD BYE
 
Running a custom Blue/Black Defender for this week. Trying to use 1 for the entire week. May change it up for the weekend though.
 
Cool stuff & lots of the same!!!!

I see that many of you use cases and bumper like cases. I use a case sometimes, I mostly use a pouch for the phone. I love this green one!
I use the power support crystal film, front and back. I have gray ghost armor on the sides.

That's actually nice, but I still like to have a bumper on mine just feels more secure. If they have one that can fit one with bumper on it I'll probably get it

Which case is this? I don't believe it is a Sena is it? I'd really like it if one of those other Sena cases could be used with a bumper.

It is not a Sena case, it is PDair. it's kind of like some of the iPad cases just kind of a leather cover with stitching on it. It does not have any soft lining in it but I guess it really doesn't matter if you're using the bumper around it. It's more or less a folded piece of leather with elastic on the sides to give expansion for your iPhone. It's not made anywhere near as well as the Sena cases but it's a nice case overall for what it is.
 
I recently picked up an elago s4 Slim Fit on Amazon for $9.59 (plus free 2-day shipping since I have Prime). I'm really loving this case so far. It's super slim, feels great to hold, and works just fine with my Lucky Labs spectra wraps. It has a soft-touch finish, which I personally prefer to glossy. It's flush with the screen and there's no lay-on-the table, which may be a positive or a negative to you depending on what you like.

I do have a few gripes, though. The biggest one is the cutout for the Apple logo (though the package includes a circular logo protection film). It looks somewhat tacky to me, and I would've preferred if the back were solid. Another thing is that the case is pretty thin, and I'm afraid the corners will crack eventually. But I do change my cases quite often so I don't think I'll overuse this case.

Overall, this is a great snap-on style case that is reasonably priced (on Amazon, at least). I will probably get a black and white one as well.

- gray elago s4 Slim Fit
- green Lucky Labs spectra wraps
- Powersupport anti-glare front screen shield
- Steinheil ultra-crystal back screen shield (will be switching to the THS anti-glare when my order comes in)

I've settled on the white Switcheasy Ecplise for my white iPhone 4s.

Tried the DryIce case and it indeed got the yellowish effect FAST.

Not even gonna bother asking for a replacement.

Ok, as a super hardcore avid fan of the Elago S4, some things to know. One, I own almost every color, and have 4 of just the black color alone. The grey case you have will get dirty very very fast, only the brown, black, and indigo jean do not show dirt marks. Number 2, they now make the Elago S4 slim without the apple logo showing, check the site. Number 3, they updated their breathe case to be the same as the slim just with perforated holes if you're ever interested.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm not too concerned about the gray getting dirty too quickly, as I switch out my cases pretty often. And yeah, I know elago updated the Slim Fit case without the cutout in the back, but 1) I wasn't too sure about the "semigloss metallic" finish that they advertised and 2) it didn't have free 2-day shipping on Amazon Prime. But really the question about the finish was the dealbreaker for me, so if you have any insight on that, it would be much appreciated and might convince me to spring for one :)
