So which case will you be using for your 4s?

Magpul is the best low profile case out there, imho
I have that exact one you pictured and have loved it for times my Commuter was too bulky.
I also just picked up their Gen2 Field Cases (without the Executive heading) and got it in the mail yesterday. Fit is just as perfect, but there's a bigger opening for the camera and flash as well as a longer opening to accommodate the 4S/Verizion phones.
I am pretty much sold on the Incipio Feather case for my 4S, although a few things are brought up in reviews:
- The cases are slippery in your hand to hold (matte colours are better)
- The camera/flash cutout isn't big enough and can reflect light from the flash (might be fixed in the lates version, I am told)
- It might scratch the iPhone itself when you fit/remove the case
To anyone who uses the Incipio cases, what are your experiences with them?

Thanks for info!
I am looking forward to your follow up!
edit: nevermind, I see you canceled your order.
I think im going to get the pixelskin hd first. Apparently the new 4S cases need a larger camera hole cut out and Speck is the only company as far as I know that modified their cases.
Well its what Speck says, and I don't really see a reason why they would change all of their cases if it wasn't lol.
It was strictly a speck issue because of the thickness and type of material they used. I believe it was causing some reflection of the flash. They had to change there's because of their own screw up.
I've used their Pixelskin HD for the iPhone 4 since it came out and never had a problem with the flash so I don't think its that. When I get my 4S ill put it on the case I got now and see if theres a flash issue.
I was only talking about the candyshell. Or it could be that they are lying about the whole thing because some shills will believe them and run out and buy a new case. There is nothing different about the physical shape of the camera that would require a new case.
Hmm, Could be I guess. I like the Pixelskin HD, So i'll be getting it anyway
Plus they do have good customer support.ordered an otterbox commuter, just got an e-mail saying they don't know when they'll ship, hopefully soon though :<
There is a major lack of orange cases out there so I'm loving this
My favorite color, you can tell by my car
Sweet car!! & yes, orange is my favorite color as well!
I've had the Feather before, nice thin case and all but there's no lip protection, the entire front outer edge is exposed.
Anyways, I will be using this case.
Yeah I was looking forward to the write up as well...but after seeing the iFixit article comparing the GSM and CDMA phones, I had to cancel the order.
I also read that the metal back replacements can reduce phone reception, so if I do anything to the phone other than the case, it will probably just be a phantomskinz kit.
Love the look, love that they have orange, love the price--ordered! Its also got generally good reviews all over!
Found this
Very very happy with the look of this!
