Iphone 4 case advice

adamnsu

Hi,

Have never bought a phone case and wanted some advice for my new iphone 4 (to come this week).

Wanted something for £5-£6 but didnt know what to get. Please can someone provide some suggestions with web links if possible?

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm, you won't get something decent to protect that nice new phone for £5-£6.

I just ordered an Incipio case now it costs just over £13, but a mate at work has one and it feels good and looks the part.

I agree that for the price you are looking at you wont get a decent case. And seeing as you are looking at protectiong a £500+ phone, I would suggest paying out a bit extra. I personally have the bumper and altho it was free when Apple messed up during the launch of the iphone4, it is deffo worth looking into. M iphone is scratch/scuff free since Summer 2010

For a ohone worth £500+ I would go for the indescructible http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ballistic-Case-iPhone-Red-Black/dp/B00689IGR6/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1323774169&sr=8-4

I think the typical iphone cases are pretty big and bulky. Prefer no case, fair enough you get the odd scratch but looks better! If iwas to have anything i would go for a discreet bumper. particularly if your going for the white iphone.

can be found a lot cheaper dont buy a case from apple!

I had an incipio case for my iPhone 4 and it's superb and added very little bulk to it which is what I wanted, pay an extra few quid and get a better case you won't regret it.

Yup, got mine today, and it's looking great, even comes with a screen protector in the kit

Rusty!

eBay TPU/gel cases (generally available for any phone) are very good IMO. Not too bulky, and a sort of soft silicon/hard plastic hybrid.

I've got one of these http://store.griffintechnology.com/iphone/iphone-4/reveal-etch-iphone4
I prefer the feel of the phone with a case like this on it (rather than naked or with just a bumper), it feels too thin otherwise.
You'll also want a screen protector, I like these http://store.apple.com/uk/product/H2330LL/A but there are lots of other types, depending whether you want matt or gloss or mirrored or whatever.

Thanks to you all for your comments and suggestions. From your experiences I think it might be a good idea to invest in a more expensive casing.
