I am thinking about getting Apples bumper case, but wanted to see what else other people are getting.

What is yalls opinion on the bumper case? Enough protection?
 
I really want to see what Otterbox comes up with.

The Otterbox cases are looking pretty good. They had them up, but it appears that their site has crashed. I would like to pick up the Griffin Reveal today so I'm hoping that the Best Buy near me carries them.
 
I might get a Pixelskin or Candyshell case. http://www.speckproducts.com

But to be honest, I'm not sure what case i'm getting yet. Gonna wait around July and see if any nice cases pop up in stores.

The bumpers are nice but I wish they were under $24. $30 is a bit too much for that little thing.
 
I just called otterbox and said while those on the site are just rendered images they just got their phone today and it will take a "couple months" to have a final release for their cases :mad: :mad:
 
Using my 3G Sena case for now since the 4 fits in it nicely except for the back camera, the 4 camera is a touch higher than it was on the 3G. Will either get out a small file to tweak the case for the camera and flash or figure out something else later on when the other cases catch up. For now it is in a case though.
 
So didn't want to buy a bumper, but it seems I will have to. Belkin Grip Vue isn't still out. Ugh.
 
I'm just using a cheap case which I bought off eBay, it does the job and doesn't look half bad either, I would have gone for something better but after the amount I shelled out on the actual iPhone, I really can't afford too, I'm even using a Bodyguardz iPhone 3GS screen protector which I have attacked with a pair of scissors to make it fit the iPhone 4 lol, trying to save money where I can
 
I just remembered I have an old Vaja case that I used on the 1st Gen iPhone, a long time ago. Well, it took a bit of effort but I was able to fit my iP4 in there perfectly.

The lid had to be stretched up a little in order to completely cover the front part of the phone, but it works for me! The case cost me $50-$60 but it's worth it. Real leather too. I'm totally satisfied now, I dont think I'll be buying another case thanks to this. Now all I need is those InvisibleShields!
 
I am using the case I used with my (now old) 3G. I was surprised to see that it fit really nicely. Of course, it's a tad bit looser with the 4 than the 3G, but I can deal with that. The back camera is totally fine, so I am happy that I didn't have to plunk down $30 or so for a case! I will have to once I am able to see the 3G, but I will wait to list it on eBay once I verify whether my unlock I did yesterday worked.
 
Picked up an ifrogz case yesterday, hard candy bubble slider (on order) and will get the speck candyshell when that is available.

That's lovely! Congrats! :cool:

I'm amazed nobody has produced anything yet called the 4-skin :p
