Best iPhone 4 case

Trust Me

Which case should I get from Apple's free case/bumper program? Picking up my 4 from UPS's depot this morning. I'm looking for protection (I'm clumsy; cracked my 3GS' screen twice) over style, without it being superbulky.

I just got my Speck Fitted Case, and it offers a lot of protection according to the review on macworld.com. It's also reasonably stylish as well.

I'm very happy with it.

The Griffin Perferated silicone case is utter crap. It has NO good qualities. It feels bad, it is very loose, and it's finish (WHY DOES IT HAVE A FINISH ANYWAY?) is peeling off after abou 18 hours of use.

must say im not too happy with my exspect silicone case i got while waiting for my pixelskin. While it fits it well at first, it seems to develop a looseness. Several times i have pulled it out of my pocket to find it has come off totally!
I think it would be a lot better if it was firmer, and possible had a larger overlap at the front (perhaps even a band at bottom, with a cut out for button).

its bein on since i got the phone on launch day and while it is a little looser, it hasnt come off yet

a friend of mine that was in the q at the o2 store had one on his 3gs like u described with the bit at the bottom
looks a lot more secure

I got the Incase Snap Case in the trasparent black colour and I'm very happy with it. I covers the back and sides, fits nicely, feels nice and provides a good level of grip.

I got this one too. It's not great. Considering it was free I may pay and get a better one.

I have a front screen for iphone 4 or do you need full body?

thanks for the answer. i think i might need the full body, seeing as how fragile the back is, and putting it on the side reduces the grip of death..

I'm looking to get a front screen protector. I have the Griffin perf silicone case, would you recommend the Zagg for it? Have been hearing varying reports between problems fitting it and it affecting the quality of the screen.

Thanks.

The best one is meant to be the Speck Pixelskin one which I ordered, but a lot of people have been saying that the Speck cases being sent to them are no where near the quality of the same speck case you pay for. The free ones are apparently cheap and have a slightly different design around the camera and flash which can be bad for photos
