I'm not finding any dust etc getting in between the case an phone wit my defender like but I did put front and back screen protectors on before I put the phone in the defender just in case, double protection, down side is the screen sensitivity is down a bit but I got used to that in no time.

[sheriffwoody]

It's hard to tell but the thing is is that there's nothing much to them anyway. The £26 Apple are charging is a rip off and a joke. They could be the "real deal" but for that price who cares?!

[sheriffwoody]

true, they do seem far too expensive for £26.

what about these on ebay? the Deff Cleave Aluminium case? around the £15-16 mark

Not seen those before.

[sheriffwoody]

there was a brand new one sat at £5 with a minute to go, and i randomly stumbled upon it, so was going to have a bid, but ended up going for £11 i think and hadn't had time to see how much they were worth or if they are any good

[biggy7]

are there any decent cases for the white 4s?

Yeah, looks nice and also for iPhone 4s.

[Dave M]

Just seen Speck have a new case on Apple store, the Toughskin. £29. Horrible looking thing.

[sheriffwoody]

well, these were £6 on play.com (which i thought was a good price), so grabbed one from Amazon for £2.90 instead

looks like a incase snap clone?

top and bottom are unprotected,

let us know how it is

[sheriffwoody]

for £2.90 it will be better than nothing until i decide what to get as a proper case.

how would you go about protecting the top and bottom as they have buttons and ports on, so can't fully protect it surely?

[biggy7]

usual thing is to have cut outs for the buttons and ports

best case ive used is the pixelskin hd

shame they dont make them in white!

[KyleS1]

Some cases have buttons built in that press the iphone buttons, so they are protected.

[biggy7]

just got my iphone 4s and the pixelskin hd i had for the my 4 doesnt fit

the silent switch cut out is slightly too high

went to the apple store as i was walking by, the apple dude told me to cut the case a little to allow it to sit properly lol

he goes no point in paying £25 for a new case lol top guy!

[Sparky2520]

Money making scam that I think, moving the buttons slightly

defo, he said the manufacturers had to remake all their cases to fit both 4 and 4s

Yeah, because Apple get a cut from every sale by these 3rd party cases, don't they?

[Sparky2520]

Iv not got a clue about taking a cut, as dave m asked, I have received my griffin a few hours ago and I have to admit it has better protection than the otterbox, for example, there are covers over the speakers to stop the dust getting in and also a cover over the ear pice with pin holes in it to reduce the amount of dust in the ear pice. Those 2 things the otterbox didn't have and what I love about the griffin. Down sides of the griffin, the screen protector sits slightly further away from the screen so slightly more pressure is required. The flaps that cover the silent button etc are a little to easy to open when pulling out of pockets etc. my major issue is the sensitivity of the home button with the griffin fitted, I have managed to activate Siri so many times it's annoying me already but I'm overall happier with the griffin than I was with the otterbox, both are the best for me needs but the griffin comes out on top.

Sparky. Take phone out of case ,on the back of silicone home button there's a bump if you reduce this. Cut a couple of millimetres off job done home button sensitivity reduced. Worked a treat for me.

[Sparky2520]

You know what geordy I should really have thought of that myself, simple but affective, I'm feeling a bit silly now because now you have mentioned that it's the simplest thing to solve the problem. Cheers

Ok people. If you had to use just one case for your iPhone, what would it be?

Has anyone had experience of the http://www.amazon.co.uk/Case-Mate-Ba...9522750&sr=8-1 ?

If I were on a desert island it would have to be the otterbox defender. Fav case otherwise is the incipio although I don't like the way the front bit overhangs the top of phone, rather than hugging it.
