Is the iphone 4s case the same as the iphone 4?
SPEC just sent me and ad that all of their "Universal" iPhone 4 cases will fit the 4s. What that that means I am not sure. I know there were some slight differences in the volume button location for the AT&T and Verizon phones, so I think these cases have a wider cut-out there that will support either.
I just noticed that some of the cases on the Apple site say they work for 4 and 4S.
Notice the difference in "Standby Time"...
That is strange on the Stand-By time.
I just ordered one for my son, should be here the 14th.
Hi, I wrote a blog about the comparison of iPhone 4 and 4s cases. There are lots of photos. Please check it out:

The iphone 4 verizon phone will be the design and dimensions of the new iphone 4s. So any verizon iphone 4 case will fit it exact. here is a link to a great case i bought for the new iphone 4s on amazon. Go to this case on amazon.
I asked the guy who worked at AT&T the same question. He said that some will fit and some won't. The camera cutout on the 4S is slightly larger than on the 4, so if your case has a really small camera hole, and there isn't much space between the edge of the camera and the edge of the cutout hole, it might not fit. If you have some room inbetween, you should be fine.

Hi, I'm thinking of getting this case for my iphone 4s.

I read about some the differences between 4 and 4s. Do you think this case will fit the 4s?
Acording to the spec its exactly the same physical size.
But the 4S case does differ, the difference is that the 4S case has 4 breaks or insulators in the steel band, so as to allow for the 2 aerials, which I understand are required for CDMA use..
The difference in standby time is interesting, but not that crucial. Since the phone's circuit board was reconfigured for the new chipsets, it is possible the battery is a little smaller in the 4S than in the 4. Between 200 hours and 300 hours of standby time, this matters only to people like my 80-something mother who might wait a week before her phone rings, but most of us charge the phone at least once a day (overnight, while at work, etc).
Of greater significance is the more efficient cellular radio in the 4S (compared to the 4) which projects another hour in cellular talk time over a 3G network. The extra hour of 3G talk time is of maximum importance to those who are out in the field most of the day (such as traveling), and that is a huge improvement over the 4's specs.
I had to use a scissors to pry off and then cut the Seidio SURFACE™case from my new 4S iPhone. It was impossible to remove otherwise. Do not buy this case for the new 4S. I think it is too tight - the clip that connects the upper and lower parts of the case cannot be disengaged.
Seidio did agree to take back the cut case; I am now trying to get them to pay for return shipping.
Note all the complaints ONLINE about this case and the problems removing it from the iPhone 4S. I should have checked it out before my purchase.
The Seidio Surface does fit my iPhone 4S perfectly and I've had no problem removing it. I would recommend it highly.
I have the Otterbox Impact case for the Iphone 4 on my 4s. So far it is great
-I have not noticed any heat build up. I usualy remove the case when I charge the phone as a precaution
-Cameras works fine with the camera hole cutouts and the screen protector
-Case easy to remove and put back on
-Not bulky and provides a nice grip.
-All buttons work fine and speakers work fine
I noticed that the iphone 4s case they make has a bigger cut out around the ear/camera area. only difference between the 4 and 4s Impact case I could see in the photos
Overall I have no complaints (about the case) after two weeks
is the iphone 4s case the same as the iphone 4?
