Iphone 4 cover?

    I currently have the Incipio hard/soft combo cover, and I love it, apart from when I take photos using the flash there's a white smog appearance on the photos....as a result of some sort of reflection from the cover on the back.

    Basically the opening for the flash is that bit too narrow imo.

    Can anyone recommend a cover which doesn't add bulk to the phone which also have a decent wide opening at the back for flash and camera??

    Thanks

    I bought a Kensington cover with my iPhone in the Three store. It's a grand job with the comera and flash completely uncovered. Not bulky at all either.

    The flash and camera are completely uncovered as well on the incipio...its just I think a little bit more of an opening would sort the problem out.

    I've tested it both with the cover on and off and the difference is very very noticable. A white smog covers the image when the cover is on.

    I left the factory plastic on for a day or two after getting the phone and had the exact same problem. No such problem with the cover I have now though. 'twas 14 quid

    i have this one, wouldnt swap it for anything - http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/reveal-etch-iphone4

    the only thing i dont like about the covers is the lack of the view of the glossy rear of the iPhone 4.

    the girlfriend has this one - http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/motif-iphone4
    quite nice too, but has a browny hint of colour to it.
    edit - she obviously got the smoked version (didnt know there was a clear version available)

    I have three covers for mine as I had trouble finding one i liked. First was the Otterbox Commuter:

    Protects the phone really well but ads a lot of bulk. Also, when typing the phone moves slightly in the case so I ditched it and bought this:

    It's a Gear 4 one. Good case to be honest, the only problem I could see with it is protection around the charging slot could be moved very easily making it useless if you dropped it.

    I then bought a belkin Grip Vue case and it's easily the best one I've come across/ Good protection, fits very well. Think it was about £14 in the ariport last week. Can be had a lot cheaper online though.
