Best iPhone 4 Case!
Ok so you have a nice slick looking iPhone 4, the last thing you want to do is cover it up. BUT you also want to protect it, so can anyone tell me if they know of any iPhone 4 cases out there that will protect my phone (especially since i've dropped it several times), but still keep my phone looking as slick as it was intended to look? Any ideas?

I went with one of those Zagg clear protectors. Goes on the front & back, for the 3 weeks I've had my phone, I'm A OK. Other than this, the only case I've wanted was this one, but they are expensive!

or you can just purchase the different back covers for a lot less!

I have the Griffin Protector and I really like it. I had the Palm Centro before so I was used to having something with a little grip to it which the Griffin offers. I didn't want anything big so it would still fit in my pocket but I wanted to fully protect it. It's unfortunate that it doesn't come in white because my phone is white but it covers so much of it, I still think it looks good.

Bought one of these as a gag gift, but it's actually not bad for a cheap rubber bumper (On Amazon for like $5.)
I have an Otterbox. My phone can beat up your phone.

I have an Otterbox Commuter, but I really couldn't care less what my phone looks like as long as it works well. Also, Otterbox has excellent customer service.

I don't like cases. I just use this SGP skin on the back to prevent it sliding around and to provide at least a bit of protection against breakage, and an SGP screen protector on the front.

the incipio feather. lightweight and covers the back and sides, but its its extremely thin (less than 1.5mm). comes with a cleaning cloth, two screen protectors, and i got mine off amazon for $10 shipped. did i mention there are over 20+ colors too? best case for the iphone imo.
incipio released an updated feather, so now its a little bit thicker, but it comes a little over the screen now (the old ones didnt). you can see the new/current feather on their website.

I made one of these custom iPhone cases by Shutterfly.com, and I love it. They more or less match the shape of your phone so it keeps it looking "slick." I made one with a picture of my two boys and I just love how it came out.

I liked the Magpul case. If they ever make one for the 5 I'l buy another.

Casemate makes some nice cases too. I have a "Tough Xtreme" now. (My Otterbox broke.)
Their "Tank" has a retractable screen cover. And it comes in white/pink. My housemate's got that one. It's too big, IMO.

I have an Otterbox Defender, and while I'm sure I could chuck it at a zombie and take its head off and right after take a picture of it and call the CDC, its pretty damn big. But these things arent cheap, and I wouldnt trust any other case.

I just use a gelaskin. It's a clear sticker that sticks via static to the front screen, and a printed one with a design that sticks to the back. It protects from scratches and is pretty cheap.
