So I got my iPhone 4 today. I wanna know what else should I pick up. Certain case? Screen protector? I know most of you are more experienced then me when it comes to this device, so please help a fellow appler out :D Thanks!
 
I use just a bumper, it's the only case I like that doesn't reflect the flash. But since they're impossible to come across right now I also liked the clear Belkin Grip Vue. It protects the phone great but I had issues with flash reflection with that case.
 
There are two screen protector camps. I'm against them, I think they inevitably detract from the feel of the touch screen, as well as the clarity of the image. But I have no first hand experience with the higher quality ones, like this:

You will get minor scratches on the back glass if you leave it unprotected. If you care, get a bumper or case or gelaskin or something.

Your glass will break or crack if you drop it on a hard surface, and probably from a smaller distance than you might hope. If you tend to drop cellphones, get a case. I think your best bet is to scrounge through www.ilounge.com for case reviews.

Got it and love it. You can't tell it's on.
