Post by: winrya on October 19, 2010, 11:54:41 pm: I have a pearl black incipio feather. 1mm thick so barely notice it although I provides plenty of protection. IMO it's the best case on the Market

Post by: neg on October 20, 2010, 04:56:14 pm: Liking the thin cases - the first one doesn go upto the screen so if you happened to drop it on the corner then it would probably break the screen.

The clear case looks good, shame to hide the design - Stu, do you actually have this one?

Post by: MattPoss on October 20, 2010, 06:57:08 pm: Anyone used any of the Mili Powerspring cases?!

My iPhone 4 should be getting delivered this week and I quite like the thought of the extended battery life as long as the phone doesn't become too big with it on.

Post by: vRStu on October 20, 2010, 08:01:31 pm: Yes I have the Incase mate, I got it on a recommend from the guys at my local Apple Store. I was fortunate to get it as part of the free case programme and I have recommended it to several other people who seem to like it.

I really like it, it's strong, neat and doesn't ruin the tactile feel of the handset.

Title: Re: iPhone4 cases - what you got?
Post by: Ifti on October 20, 2010, 09:09:44 pm: I got the same clear case as my free case.
Didnt like it at all so sold it on eBay :wink:

Do you mean feel slippy? Not in my opinion, nice and unobtrusive.

I tried one of those Apple bumpers that Carl kindly loaned to me but thought it ruined the feel of the handset - each to their own I guess.

Post by: neg on October 20, 2010, 11:39:59 pm: Element case looks great but not likely to see one soon. the Incase looks good - think I am swaying towards this one for now.

Post by: MattPoss on October 21, 2010, 10:31:05 pm: Wow, can't beat a bit of choice!! I saw an iphone someone had advertised on here a while ago that had loads of different cases with it!

I plan on using all 3 at the same time to start with and might look into getting a Mili Powerspring, see how the battery life goes first I think.

Title: Re: iPhone4 cases - what you got?
Post by: vRS Carl on October 21, 2010, 10:34:59 pm: There is an alternative to the Mili called ExoGear

http://www.exogear.com/products-iphone-4.html

I think that looks a lot nicer than the Mili and has a 3 year limited warranty too.
Title: Re: iPhone4 cases - what you got?
Post by: MattPoss on October 21, 2010, 10:37:04 pm: Interesting, i've never seen that before.

Thankyou very much Carl :happy2:

Title: Re: iPhone4 cases - what you got?
Post by: vRS Carl on October 21, 2010, 10:53:15 pm: I only saw it a couple of days ago in Mac Format.

It's available from here http://www.caseaddict.com/iphone-power/exolife-4.html

£59.99 plus whatever they charge for postage. Apparently they are the only UK stockists at the moment :happy2:
Title: Re: iPhone4 cases - what you got?
Post by: neg on October 21, 2010, 11:27:01 pm: I've picked up an invisibleshield today (full protection), selling at carphone warehouse £15.99 but the wife bought a case so worked out cheaper as they have a buy one get one half price offer on.

I think I definatley want a thin case of some kind, clear would be nice without looking too like a piece of perspex wrapped round it.

At least the with the IS I can start using it now so finally got it activated!
