Otterbox commuter, only case available in Puerto Rico as of now. I never use my phones without a case, that way when I sell them the buyer can see how great care the owner took.

Comes in many colors if you order online, would have gotten the defender, but it sucked for me since I wanted to fit the iPhone in my pocket and the commuter is better for this.
 
Someone recommend me a good case for under $30 please. What's so good about the otterbox?

SGP iPhone 4 Case Neo Hybrid EX 2 Series Satin Silver for me lets hope its better than the first series

Also with a carbon backing :D
 
I got my new switch easy nude yesterday (perfect timing).

The build quality is better than last year, a little rounding now on the edges, and actually slippery to hold now. I'm not sure if the slickness is because it's so new, but I don't remember my last one being so slick.

One thing I have a issue with however is even though there is a decent cutout for the camera and led flash, the flash photos are washed out completely. I did get the white iPhone this year, comming from black; so I am not 100% certain the culprit.

At any rate, love the case as I am pretty careful with my drops, but I may have to write them on the flash issue.

It's definitely the case, seen a few YouTube videos complaining about the nude.
 
The Elago one fits the 4S perfectly. Currently using the white (and tried the orange too), until I find the case I'm looking for...

It looks like the camera cut outs are small? I want to order these for my parents' phones but I worried that the camera function would be compromised. Please let me know :)

No, the cutouts are fine. I've taken many, many pictures with my 4 and none of them "didn't turn out" because of the cutouts.

Do you have the white or black iP4S? I know the white is supposed to be thicker so I want to make sure that case would fit the white one, since that's what my mother has.

I have the white 4S and black 4. The Elago cases fit both.
 
Has anyone tried the Switcheasy Vulcan on the iPhone 4S? Haven't seen any revisions or two versions of this case and the cutout for the silent switch doesn't seem to be big enough to accommodate both.
 
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.

So, would you recommend the Gen2 Field Case over the executive field case? Just from your experience.
 
I broke and bought an Otterbox Defender Pro case from the ATT store. I didnt want the defender because of the bulk it adds but I had to logically tell myself that if this phone gets dropped by me (i'm really clumsy) that this case will ensure the best protection.

The ATT store doesnt have cases labeled specifcially for the 4S but the case that works for it is the Otterbox case that has the rounded, more so oval, opening for the camera. I got the all black and like it a lot.
