Post by: alexperkins on March 11, 2011, 03:22:09 pm: Case - Speck Pixelskin HD
Screen Protector - Steinheil Ultra Crystal (absolutely superb screen protector)

eBay for both is the easiest :happy2:

Downside to ZAGG invisible shield is it takes away some screen clarity which i didnt like.

Just keep it out of the same pocket as your keys and it'll be fine and you can enjoy your retina display to its full potential.

As for cases. the Apple bumper covers are good but do fall apart after time. i had the griffin CF look case but i wouldnt recomend it.

You can get clear ones, or ones with funky coloured backs, if you fancy giving your phone a bit of a change.
Theyare all pretty cheap (99p-£2.99) and last really well. They give good protection. With out bring to bulky.
Nor to visible, infact a lot of the time you can't really see there's even a case on it :happy2:

Impressed with it. Real carbon rear cover and strips on each side with a hard plastic case. Standard issue orange screen protector for me. It's a must really as Im always dropping it in the 2seater. Lol.

I'll also vouch for the Speck Pixelskin HD, excellent case. Not bulky, doesn't come off and makes gripping your iPhone 10x easier.

Post by: apollo13 on March 16, 2011, 09:07:16 pm: Check out anything from 'Otterbox' They have an iPhone 4 range out now.

I have my 3gs in a defender case and its still like brand new after 17 months. Its a tad bulky but I need the extra protection from dust and rain at work.

The missus has her 3gs in a 'commuter' case, much slimmer but still great protection.

I know what you mean that is a good looking case. Personally I would go for one of these http://www.elementcase.com/iphone4.html becasue they look the don. apparently the down side to them is they make the antenna issue worse so it is pretty pointless.

I have seen a couple go on ebay recently for around £25 which is a damn sight better than the normal asking price http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Aluminum-Element-Bumper-Vapor-Case-Cover-iPhone-4-/220749939807?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item3365b8c45f

Post by: Makaveli on March 17, 2011, 08:45:14 pm: Has anyone on here got one of those Element Vapor cases on their iPhone
Title: Re: Iphone 4 cases n stuff
Post by: GTiBEER on March 19, 2011, 10:56:07 pm: I have been doing my research and it seems that these cases are by far the best for form and function http://store.atomiciphonecase.com apparently an all aluminium surround severely affects the Gps and all other signals so pretty pointless. This atomic case has part plastic part aluminium so increases your signal supposedly.

Post by: Phil Miller on March 20, 2011, 10:45:31 am: When i got my Iphone 4 i looked on ebay for a clear hard gel case, got one for £2 inc p&p as for screen protectors as with my 3GS i just got a pack of 10 off ebay for £1.70 and iirc had to replace them every 2/3 weeks, my phone lives in my pocket or top of my tool box at work (no one wants a burnt weld mark on the screen lol) there are loads to choose from on ebay mate
Title: Re: Iphone 4 cases n stuff
Post by: TT-Turbo on March 20, 2011, 11:39:52 am: I have the element Vapor case and it looks incredible and fits so well but the signal has reduced even further! I can use it while at my house as the signal is already average but with this is make it completely useless. Really gutted and have taken it off now.

Post by: Saint Steve on March 20, 2011, 02:59:37 pm: I have a spare case if you want it Mate. it's a leather flip front, with swade inside to protect it. I can bring it with me to J@H on Thursday?

I ordered the wrong case, ment for my 3G , :stupid:
