This one looks interesting for my wife, or anyone who is accustomed to a flip phone and tosses it in a bag, since it has full enclosure including the screen.

july 12th ones which were on preorder for element case are already sold out ! awesome .. a bumper for ~100$, whats happening am i too poor ? or do i think this is outrageous. I thought accessories should be much cheaper than the phone !

Some of the cases mentioned up-thread sell for around $10. I paid $17 from Amazon for the one I'm using. The iPh4 is a pretty high-end phone, and there will always be a niche market for high-end accessories (e.g., hand-stitched leather cases). But cases of reasonable price should be completely adequate. And any case worth the name will provide far more protection than the bumper.

will be happy if i get in a week!
feedback from others say fast delivery?
UK is S**t for iphone4 cases

Ya I ended up ordering one of those Cimo cases in clear smoke color for $10 shipped. I saw one in person and they fit snug and this Mivizu rubber case I have on mine now constantly slides off the corners, plus it attracts lint so looks bad. I was gonna spend $30 and get that Incipio Silicrilic or $35 for the Otterbox Impact but really when you look at those and compare to these cheapo cases there isn't enough difference to justify a $20+ jump in price. And trust me I've bought the Otterbox cases and other nice ones so I've had experience with both cheapos and expensier ones so I'm speaking from experience.

The Element cases are really cool IMO. And yes they do offer an optional back surface. I have one on reserve for August. Hopefully there will be reports as to to it's aluminum construction effecting the antenna by then, so I will know that to do when they say the cases are available. I don't see how it could not effect reception though.

I have an Eddy Bauer similar to the HTC. My only hesitation was the magnetic latch on both. I took the Eddy Bauer and removed both the magnets and use velcro to close it. Have you had any problems with the magnets and the Iphone4?

do the bumpers really increase the signal strenght?

It's not that they increase signal strength, its that they stop you from blocking it. But in layman's terms, yeah it has that effect.

If anybody is interested, on e-bay for $ 7. can't beat this, I guess. and looks gr8 too.

Yeah the Cimo Cases are great especially for the price. Have you tried the Air Jacket? It's also pretty good http://cimousa.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=40

Belkin Grip Vue or Groove

Looks 'just like' the S-Line case ($14.99), but in the ebay $7 case picture, the case appears much closer to the back camera lense that the pics on S-Lines site.
