iPhone 4 – Always Use Protection

Just look at it, 2 glass screens, a sexy design, and perhaps the best smart-phone designed. Oh no! I purchased a case and it didn’t protect my iPhone, the horror! There are a few concerns for anybody who is still trying to find the right case for their iPhone 4:

  • Protection
  • Look
  • Expense

I want to show off my iPhone’s back screen and it’s unique shape, but only if the protection for it is great. So this post will teach you a few tips on case combos and protection for your iPhone 4.

What Case?

If your absolutely crazy, well you can just go naked for your iPhone 4. The top 2 clear iPhone 4 protection options are the Ghost-Armor full body protection and the ZAGG invisibleSHIELD. These are both a must for any iDevice user and should be added regardless of what protection you’re interested in for your iDevice.

Just For Looks:

If you’re one of those people who don’t care about drop protection for your phone or just are extremely careful, listen up.

STORMTROOPER EDITION - This is a white iphone with a black Apple Bumper case or vice versa. The look is simply to die for! However, even with screen protectors you are still highly vulnerable to drop damage. The Apple bumper is available for $30.00 from the Apple Store and website.

SWITCHEASY NUDE - This is a thin snap on case which offers protection on all sides of your iPhone except the front screen, and you also get the unique features of a dock protector and a headphone jack protector. This case costs $23.00 with shipping, and is available at www.switcheasy.com.

If you fall into the “Just For Looks” category, then I suggest at least adding on a full body clear protection such as the Ghost-Armor or the ZAGG invisibleSHIELD.

Just Right:

Now if you’re a person who tends to care about their device a little more, and are willing to sacrifice some things for others, than this is just the thing for you.

First off, you should automatically add either a Ghost-Armor clear coat, or a ZAGG invisibleSHIELD.

SWITCHEASY COLOURS – This case is silicon with a “Jelly Bean” home button, which I highly suggest to purchase. The accessories once again are unique, featuring the dock and headphone jack protection. This case also allows the user to easily access all buttons and still shows off the unique design of the iPhone 4 while providing sufficient protection. This case costs $18.00 with shipping, and available at www.switcheasy.com.


SPECK PIXELSKIN HD
– This is another silicon case which is all around awesome and is more basic in terms of accessories. It’s a great product and will protect your iPhone and still show off its sleek look. This case costs $30.00, and is available in local stores and at www.speckproducts.com

Unfortunately, both these cases cover up the back side of your iPhone, but for better protection, I’d say it’s well worth it.

A Touch Too Much:

If your either an extremist or a klutz, then take a look.

OTTER BOX – For the ultimate iPhone 4 protection, get the Otter Box iPhone 4 Defender Series, which sacrifices the design of your iPhone but 100% guarantee’s the safety of your iDevice. The Otterbox iPhone 4 Defender Series costs $50.00, and is available at www.otterbox.com

I hope this review helped you decide what protection to go with for your iPhone 4. If you suggest a case not mentioned above. Leave us a comment below.

    Chris the reason i didnt put the cases you have noted are as follows:
    Vapor- Not for sale yet(preorder), expensive upgrade to an apple bumper
    Incipio Feather- Exactly like switcheasy nude, without accessories
    SGP- Also just another apple bumper clone with added thickness.

    i hope my post helped

    Niko – Vapor has already shipped 1st batch – 2nd batch is pre order now, and looks better than half the cases out there.

    Just giving you some more options – as I have been looking at the cases to see what is out there. As for accessories – dont use them, not interested in free screen protectors…

    The ones you mentioned seem to be the cheapest etc, but there other options out there that dont look so cheap – no need to buy cheap case for expensive phone…just sayin'
