The Incipio is nice but unfortunately even with a screen protector it leaves both cameras exposed. This is by the otterbox defender with it's extra plastic was a great idea.

But Griffin Reveal and many other gel case have this flash light interference problem when taking pictures in low light. I can't find a good case.

I think its foolish to sell screen protectors like AT&T does which don't cover the glass over the cameras. Whats the point?

So far, this has got to be the best iPhone 4 case I have seen, BAR NONE:

If you want the back to get scratched to high h#ll then go for it. Otherwise its a great looking case.

There's a carbon graphite cover available as an option:

No scratching of the back... 😀

I love incase sliders. Until they come out, I went to bestbuy and bought a rocketfish gel case which is really nice.

Try eBay. You can pick up a case for $4.99 that actually covers the whole back of the phone and will also have free shipping. I refuse to buy a $30 bumper, or case at the Apple store when I can get one for under $5 on the internet. Rip off!!!

If you just want something on the cheap to protect the phone, Boxwave has plenty of cases at $4.99 (but not for long).

Better hurry an order them while they last...

more like a work of art than a case and kinda pricey because they are handmade. really cool

you can even make your own art and they will engrave it on there

Some good deals there! How come they're so cheap? I may order one to have an extra. Thanks!!

They are running a promo to drum up business / raise awareness. Last week they were giving them away for FREE! I was too late by the time I found their twitter feed where they announced it, but hey - $5 isn't too bad. But better yet, I found TONS of cases on eBay for as little as $.99 with FREE SHIPPING. I grabbed a nice one for $2.50 just to hold me over until I get the one I want...

Yup, same here.

I have that case on my 3GS, will probably get it
for IP4 when it comes out. They're solid, have a nice
non-slip texture to them, and look great.

For now the Griffin Reveal will do just fine.
