That doesn't sound good. >_>" Hopefully it fits tightly to your phone.

Have you received your case yet? How is the trial run minus the phone lol?

Yep I got it. I haven't touched it yet or opened it. Waiting for the actual phone so I can do some pics and maybe a video. >_<"

Otterbox Defender for the I4 works perfectly on my 4s. $16 at Amazon.

I am pretty bummed that the UCO skinny bumper is not compatible with the 4s. I LOVED this case w/ screen protectors for my iPhone 4.

Does anyone know any similar cases. I like to just have a VERY SMALL bumper on it with screen protectors, I tend not to drop the phone so I do not need a big case.

I'm a new iPhone user and I'm looking for a slim case to protect the phone if I drop it.

I was thinking about getting a bumper and then a screen protector.

Does the bumper shield it from scratches if I drop it? Is it slightly wider than the phone so that if dropped, the ground will hit the bumper and not the side of the phone?

Any advice would be helpful!

I was thinking about the Case Mate Jett Metal Case or the Barely There case...

iPhone 4, iPhone 4S Jett Metal Case by Case-mate

iPhone 4, iPhone 4S Barely There slim cases by Case-Mate

Apparently the Jett case comes with screen protectors for front and back. If I got the Barely There case, I'd get a front screen protector too.

Thoughts?

I would do some research on the Jett metal one and see if it interferes with the signal at all. It looks nice but I don't like that you have to assemble it with the buttons. Then you have a hairline crack that interrups the sleek design of the metal cause of the way they designed it.

The 2nd one I see quite a lot. My only concern with that one is that you need to take it out of your case every so often and clean the inside. Otherwise dust/dirt build up and causes it scratch your phone, which is counterproductive. >_>"

What about the flip top leather cases? Any opinions on those? Hex has one but they forgot to cut a hole for the rear camera.

I just picked up this - CapsuleRebel For iPhone 4 / iPhone 4S - SwitchEasy.

This is my first iPhone - so I can't really compare it to much - although I did visit BB and glance at their selection. Unfortunately - they won't mix and match the outer and inner colors - so I actually ordered 2 (black and white) so I could have a black spine against a white background which goes nicely with the white iPhone. I guess on the plus side - I now have a backup case that has a white spine against a black background.

Overall - I like the case. It's a very tight fit - feels well made and I think it will offer a fair amount of protection - but I'll leave that to others to test. It also comes with quite a few accessories - pretty much anything you'll need - including screen protectors.

My only con is that I'd like the inner piece to have more of a rubbery feel - something with a higher coefficient of friction to provide a little better grip on the phone. The plus side is it slides in and out of a pocket with ease - but it also feels like it could slide out of my hand just as easily.

Here are a few pics.

Sorry about the shallow DOF - wasn't really paying much attention.

In my opinions: It'll probably be in my backpack in between textbooks when not in use and my backpack kinda gets thrown around alittle i've been looking at the otterbox defender or reflex series and possibly a g-form ebelow case

Looks like a nice case. My sis is getting the white iPhone 4S and she wants a crystal clear case to protect her phone. Doing research on it and so far I've only come up with a few and they don't look all that well made. >_>"

Tempted to get her what I got but in Pink.

iPhone 4S Case

Hey guys, I'm looking for a case to protect my phone. I don't want something bulky, and that is easy to take in and out of the tighter jean pockets. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Does anyone know if the Griffin Outfit Ice is a good case for an iPhone 4S? I've never had a case with any iPhone that I'm using but from December 1 I'm going backpacking around Southeast Asia so I'd like a little extra security.

I like the Apple bumper.

Here's the one I got and it also comes with a screen protector.

For tight jeans

KK-I bought the Sena leather case. After it stretches a few days, the phone slips in and out easily. Plus it protects it front and back. They also have a couple of flip type models in case one is accident prone with the dropsies.
