Title: What iphone cover (4/S)
Post by: M7AXB on October 08, 2011, 02:38:05 pm
Hi folks :happy2:

Just wondering what the best cover is for the iphone 4?

I've been looking at the element vapor (£44) or the Ion predator (£34) but, not sure what to go for!

Any recommendations?

Is the invisible shield any good?

Cheers!

I've got the zagg invisible shield on my 3GS think it's spot on.  It's not that difficult to apply all I would say is read the restrictions and just take your time and you'll be fine.

I have the Element Vapour!!

Can totally recommend it...very nicely made fits perfect transforms how the phone feels and makes it far more robust and man-safe! get the carbon fibre back protector they do too...You wont be disappointed guaranteed.

The only problem I had was docking it with my Zeppelin Air with the case on but I just bout a black Sendsation dock extender and all was well.

Mind you I use airplay most mainly.

I've just ordered a white iPhone 4s with a white bumper lol.

I want to protect it but I hate adding bulk to phones, id rather use them without a case and have it get tatty. Do these element cases make them feel a lot bigger?

With the iPhone 4 being such a slim phone you really can ruin the experience by getting a chunky case. But sadly any case makes it bulky-er.

I personally always use a gear4 icebox edge. It's basically an iPhone bumper but with the rear covered by clear plastic.

well i gotta bumper on the way with a decent front film and one for the back, hopefully that should do me.
I will have lost/broken/smashed it in the first 6 months anyways!

I found the bumper made it feel a little bulky.

I've been using incipio feathers on my iPhone 4 http://www.myincipio.com/iPhone-4S-Cases-Accessories/Incipio-iPhone-4S-feather-Ultralight-Hard-Shell-Case.asp

Super thin and they do a clear version if you wish to see all the apple beauty!

Used incipio feathers on my 3's but on the 4 the paint flaked off the case   :confused:

Invisible shield is over rated. Gives you an orange peel look and feel to the phone. I had one on my iPhone 4 and eventually, it peeled off in my pocket when it was warm.

The air jacket is my favourite if you insist on a case.

However, i have just take delivery of some Phone Devil front and rear protectors for the iPhone 4S.

It mentions the covers are for the 4 and 4s ?, how is this when i though the 4s had an extra hole in the front  ?, or is it just a sensor of some sort ?

The only parts that arent covered are the speaker and home button.
