Best case for iPhone 4/4S?

[TangoJuliet]

I been using a rebelserpent from switcheasy on my 3gs for the past couple of years.

I just upgraded to a 4s and looking to get a case for it. I was thinking about staying with switcheasy and getting their capsulerebel (which they said will fit a 4s).

Not a case fan myself - I usually just go with a gelaskin.

I just bought a few cases from Monoprice. If I don't like them, they only cost about $1 each with about $2 shipping. I've never been a big case guy, but if it doesn't add much bulk, it should be acceptable.

otterbox commuter?

 

[manly]

it's confirmed that the 4 and 4S can use the same cases?

Monoprice sounds like a good idea, maybe I'll troll Amazon & eBay too.

I thought the camera was moved enough where you need a new case?

I only spent $5 (including shipping) on 3 potential cases, so if it doesn't work... I'm not exactly too worried.

But when the guy at the AT&T store showed me some cases, the packaging only said "iPhone 4" on it. I did notice that some of the cases had larger openings for the camera though.

Macworld.com reports the 4S is laid out the same as the Verizon iPhone 4. Any case that fits the VZ iP4 should work fine.

Its the same phone shell, just tweaked internally.

Thanks! I bought this for myself and got 6 other cases from monoprice for my wife. She can pick through them and see which one she likes. I can probably sell the rest to some friends and co-workers and make back the $20 I spent on the 7 cases total.

Pretty cool design. I had one of their cases on my iPod touch and it was nice.

Anyone used one of the Speck Candyshell cases? The black on looks nice, but it's a bit spendy.

I have been looking at upgrading from my 3GS to the 4S and the cases I have been looking at:

Otter Box Defender (I have one on my 3 GS and like it a lot)
Mophie
Lifeproof

Any ideas on these or suggestions?

When I still had my iP4, I alternated between:

Grrr... just got email from OtterBox that the 4S Commuter cases I ordered aren't shipping yet due to overwhelming demand. I guess it's just one more indication that Apple is printing money with these things.

I like the Magpul Executive Field Case

Thin, but protective. Great grippy feel that doesn't attract any lint. Excellent price.

I also own the Casecrown metallic slider, which is a very nice case, and looks awesome, but I found the surface far too slick. I was paranoid holding my phone that it was going to go flying out of my hands.

I ended up buying the Otterbox Commuter for mine.

Screen protectors on the front and back and a SGP bumper for me.

I really like my Otterbox Commuter. The only problem is docking. I didn't want to remove the case, so I got a CableJive dockStubz for our speaker dock.

wow I hate that apple cutout so much, automatic veto here.

I have a hard time selecting anything other than the capsulerebel

^^^ Also got the all black capsule rebel for my 4S.

best case, and does come with everything you could ever need. I especially like the dust covers for charge/headphone ports, along with the screen protector.

My wife got a rebel capsule based on so many comments here. I don't like it at all. It's too slick and the spine on the back won't let it lay flat.

I've got the vulcan and after a week it's already getting a little sloppy around the edges. Switcheasy hasn't really impressed me for the prices.

The reason I love mine so much (on the 3gs) was that I dropped the phone several times from a fairly decent height and my phone stayed beautifully protected.

it's a tried and true case for me

i used a case on my 3gs for 2 weeks and hated it. caseless ever since.
