i bought a griffin reveal from best buy. looks like a bumper but has a clear backing. im happy with it. can use my ihome dock stick. headphones and 30 pin cables still connect without the case being an issue


got the same and like the look and feel. doesn't look as good
as the bumper though, but this one at least protects the back glass.

only drawback is when using the led flash it creates a glare of sorts in the
pictures because of the clear backing. not sure what to do about that....maybe
darken the sides of the opening with a sharpie to reduce reflection?

Otterbox, Otterbox, Otterbox. Mind you it will double the weight of your phone and not be quite as "pretty", but it's amazing. I have dropped mine at least a hundred times easily. Once down a flight of cement stairs (20 steps or so), and thought it was done for. Not a problem with it. The reason I drop so much is that I use the holster it comes with and I'm constantly carrying equipment and such, so it get's bumped and dropped and squished, etc.

It looks like the ip4 will get 3 flavors from Otterbox, I'll still go with the strongest most likely. They aren't due to be out for a couple months I think. So I purchased a full body skin and a cheapo silicone case in the mean time. I'll just have to be extra careful.

I went here. They are having 80% off some of their cases for a limited time. I ordered three which came out to $25. My cousin got one of these and his looked great and had no reception issues.

Actually, I love the Apple Bumpers. But I would like to have a belt clip case I could use WITH the bumpers left in place. My old faithful InCase folio just does not stretch far enough to use with the bumpers. Thinking about modifying it with some elastic on the ends rather than the leather strips that are standard.

Anyone else have an idea for a case that can be used with the bumpers?

I bought the Griffin Reveal as well and was really happy with it until I had to take a picture with flash. The reflection from the clear shell surrounding the lens and flash caused the pictures to be awash with white. Other than that it is a great case. I ended up getting a bumper and am quite happy with that, though it leaves the back exposed. I still have the Griffin and a cheapo smoke-colored gel case that is actually the best when it comes to protection. I'll probably keep checking out cases and get a couple more, including another bumper or two.
