Good flexible case for the money, July 29, 2010

This is a good basic case for the iPhone 4. It adds just enough protection for accidental drops with minimal bulk (you may be out of luck if drop it off a balcony on to concrete, but should be OK if you drop it on a tile floor). It is very easy to insert and remove the phone from the case - which is good since I must remove it frequently for my car mount and charging cradle. Still the phone is secure in the case (it won't come off accidentally) and the ports are exposed with enough clearance for the flash and to allow you to insert headphones or the sync cable. The volume and top buttons are covered but the plastic is raised, making them easy to use and identify by touch. The plastic is not any slipperier than the metal band around the edge of the phone, but not tacky so it is easy to slide in or out of the pocket of you skinny jeans (FYI - this is an assumption - I don't actually wear skinny jeans but have had no issues with regular jeans). The only drawback is the screen is completely exposed except for the tiny plastic rim the holds the phone in the case. As I mentioned, it is adequately secure, but the rim rubs up against the edge of some screen protection films and may cause them to bubble and loosen at the edges. Personally, I haven't noticed much difference with wireless reception and overcoming the dreaded 'death-grip'.

Too much quality for this price!, November 12, 2010

First off, with the low price, you can't really say anything bad about it (I payed under 5 bucks for it including shipping)! But don't let that misguide you, it is a VERY nice case. In fact, I just saw this one (or one that looked just like it) at Best Buy and it was around $30!!

Second, it is a very comfy one. I've seen people with fat cases that protect their iPhones from big falls and hits, and the cases themselves are way thicker than the actual iPhone, on each side! This is a pretty thin one, and definitely has a feel that says "take care of me, but if you accidentally drop me from your lap, I'll protect your expensive piece of technology." I'm the kind of person who usually doesn't wear cargo or loose shorts/pants, so I like to feel comfortable with my phone in my front pockets and this one does an excellent job!

Finally, the material it is made gives you a confident grip on your phone (while it slides easily into my pocket), makes it look fancy, and fits perfectly onto the iPhone! Like I said, it looks like it will protect your phone from an accidental drop, but don't quote me for it, I have not dropped my phone or tested it out (just got my phone a week ago, I am not risking any damage for a damage test) so please, take care of your phone. All the buttons can be pressed really good, except the silent mode button, you kinda have to get in there with your finger/nail, but that's not really a bother since you use that switch the least.

I definitely recommend this for anybody who is looking for a quality case with an economically safe price, or wanting a starter case to begin with while looking for a fancier one.
*On a side note* I don't know if this case helps with the antenna problem, because before I had it I got 2-3 bars of signal inside a building (even without touching it) and 5 bars when I was outside, even while I was holding it, and it still acts the same with it.

OK iPhone 4 Case, December 13, 2010

I bought this because it was really cheap and the pictures on Amazon looked OK. When I got it, i tried it for about a week and switched back to my Amzer Luxe case. This case looks OK, but it is really cheaply made. I like the TPU cases because I am a pocket phone storage user and they don't stick like the silicone cases do. They also seem like they can absorb more of an impact than the polycarbonate cases. One thing to note is that the plastic on this is NOT "smokey" as the description calls out. This is clear plastic. Also, the manufacturing quality is really poor. The mold break lines are terrible, and the utility openings on the case do not seem adequate anywhere including the bottom plug and the camera. It looks good in the pictures on Amazon, but the actual piece had really tiny openings that looked ridiculous. This is just sitting in a drawer in my kitchen now. I guess you get what you pay for.

Comment on iPhone 5 Release Date? by Naoto Nishimura

Naoto Nishimura — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 16:27:29 +0000

It’s probably because the iPhone 5 is more like the ‘iPhone 4S’. The gap between the IPhone 4 and the iPhone 5 will be much smaller than the gap between the 3GS and the 4. Apple can’t really work on the hardware much more so they decided to focus on the OS which is for other idevices as well. As for the release date, I’m not sure.

I’m hoping a new ipod touch will come out with iOS 5 release. I’m a droid, not iPhone, but iPods will always work best for music.

I hope that design is incorrect – it’s ugly and kinda the same shit…
