I have my old Piel Frama Magnet closure from my 3GS on my IP 4. It was too loose to use at first but when my bumper arrived, I put the bumper encased IP4 into the old case. It fit snugly and there has been no signal loss or other problems noted from the two magnets that are positioned either side of the start button and approximately the same size as the button. I am awaiting a new case for my IP 4 from Piel Frama and the single magnet will be closed at the lower rear of the phone.

80 euros, that's more than the element case, but it looks like a nice one for wearing on your belt, holster style.

In search for a good case, you should lookout for cases that do not cover the back. Even cases with holes for both camera and flash will REFLECT the flash, so there will always be an annoying glare on photos taken with flash.

This means that only expensive cases whose R&D department took this issue into account will actually prevent this from happening.

Maybe another reason Apple is only producing the bumper?

I have had my iphone 4 since June 23. I have gone through 3 cases already. I started with the ifrogz luxe case. I loved it except the flash reflected off of it and I couldn't put a Zagg shield on it. The second case was a cheap $15 Rocketfish silicon case from Bestbuy. I didn't like it as it covered the flash as well. Finally, I have settled on a incipio silicryclic case that I was able to get at my local ATT store. ATT is selling out of these fast. It's great it's part silicon and acrylic and it works with zagg shield. Also, the flash doesn't reflect off of it.
