I am finally changing over to the iphone 4 and I was wondering what cases you chaps use. I am looking for something unique like what is shown below.

It is made by a Japanese company called Abee.

Hah fair enough.

What about the weight though?

[Swashplate]

It would be minimal compared to the poly or rubber cases that I am also considering.

The Vapor would be even less as it looks to be just an edge protection. And that is what I am looking for as on the 4 the glass goes right to the edge.

[Chewy734]

I also added the SPG CF skin on the back too... makes it look/feel nice. It's much better than the optional one from Element Case for the Vapor 4.

Chewy, I just ordered the Chroma in black.. I can't wait to see this bad boy...

[Bodie217]

is the SGP carbon plate permanent, or can you remove it easily? It seems like the Element backplate is removable/reusable.

[Quick6EF]

I hate you guys. I want to pull the trigger on the Vapor Chrome in Silver but the suede on the back seems sketch. Anyone familiar with how it wears?


PS Broker I will eat my words these cases are sick



Also Chewy how does the protection seem with just an outer shell?

thin enough and has a small ridge that protects the phone when it falls face down.
has 2 rubber strips inside to protect back of your phone and adds padding.

they make some flimsy shit IMO

I have a zero 5 and it's about as minimal as you can possibly get. Personally I like the design of the phone so I hate to cover it up with a case. Plus I keep mine in my pocket and bolting a bunch of aluminum up to it (as cool as it might look) would keep me from comfortably carrying it.

I'm only using a case because of the reception issues caused by gripping the phone (which I do experience without it).

Details here.

Actually this will be my third iphone so I have been pretty pleased with them.

I had the droid as an option but I wasn't provided with any compelling arguements to change my decision. But if you can I am all ears.

Anyone have a privacy screen for the IP4?

Here is my mini review - I got this for the 3GS, cost 85 bucks lol, but worth it IMO.

Good:
The build quality is just amazing, the case was amazing. I dropped my 3GS from high distances, and my case never broke. It looks awesome, and I had many people complement it everyday. The carbon fiber is a plus! Surpringly, my case was very light! Also, the inside is covered with suede, which protects your phone and leaves NO scratches : )

Bad Side: DO NOT GET WHITE, unless you like cleaning. I got white, and let me tell you, the first 3 weeks, it looked SEXY. However, the case started turning blue from my designer jeans. I had to literally clean it every 3 days to keep it looking white. Also, the price is high : ). I had it for a year, gave my girl the 3GS, but something in her purse (pen?) ripped through leather, and we through it away.

What I have now on iPhone 4. I have the free incase case that came with the iPhone 4. It is awesome. It snaps on, very light, and it is a matteblack/clear color so you can still see the back side. I rarely drop my iPhone, but the 1-2 times I have, it has protected it.

yep. this is the only good case they make.
i liked the 3G/GS version of this slider case better though. This one works well and pretty solid.
