Yup, your new iPhone 4 certainlty will need a case
This doesn’t really come as a surprise to me, but the iPhone 4′s new glass back certainty can scratch. The guys over Engadget snapped some shots of their review unit Apple iPhone 4, which shows some nasty little scratches on the back of the device. The reviewer claims the scratches came from natural everyday use. Although it should be pointed out that they are harder to see in normal light. It took a pretty bright light to show them on camera, but still you should have a case. Below are a couple suggestions of different cases for the iPhone 4 on the market. Keep in mind some of the cases may not be available yet, but they should be within the next few weeks…
Don’t mind having a case on your iPhone 4? Here is a couple suggestions:
- OtterBox Impact, Commuter, or Defender Series – Think of these as the ultimate protection from whatever you throw at it. OtterBox offers three different styles of cases depending on what you need. The basic is the Impact Series – which is basically a tough silicon skin to wrap around your iPhone 4. The second case is the Commuter Series which is a two layered case with hard plastic shell wrapping over it. Last is the Defender Series which is the ultra tough case for rough environments. Check out all the OtterBox cases here.
- Case-Mate Gelli Case – The Gelli case is a thin thermoplastic skin that is form fitted for your iPhone 4, and wraps around the back and sides. These cases come in several different cases and designs. You can read more about these cases here or pick one up from Case-Mate for $19.99.
If you’re not a huge a fan of cases on your device here is a couple suggestions:
- Case-Mate Barely There – Covers the back and sides, but leaves the device thin. Costs about $24.99 from Case-Mate.
- ZAGG Invisible Shield – Think of it as a giant screen protector, that covers the entire device from top to bottom. These range from $14.99 to $24.99 from ZAGG.
- Apple Bumper Case – These are a neat idea for those not looking to cover up their new iPhone 4. The Apple Bumper cases simply slip over the edge of the device and cover only the sides. While it may not protect the device from getting scratched, it will absorb some of the shocks from light drops. You can order these cases in several different colors for $29 each from Apple.
Of course there is many other cases that we haven’t talked about in this post. Don’t worry though just keep an eye on AccessorizeMobile.com for the latest accessories for the iPhone 4.
