Buying cases for iPhone 4?

Hey everyone,
Was just wondering about the new iPhone 4 issues with the signal cutting out when you touch the black strip on the side.
I know they've just released that they will be giving all iPhone 4 owners a free case to fix this problem, but I wanted to know if you have to use the case they give you or if you can buy a different one?
Example being I always wanted to buy a fancy rhinestone cover for my phone, but they are made of plastic not rubber, so will using one of those still fix the signal issue or does it have to be rubber like the one they are giving out?
Any help or suggestions would be great

why put a case on that beautiful iphone 4. the beauty of it is the metal band along with the squared body which was the best design ever. show it off because when you slap a case on, it resembles any other iphone. i tried this new clear wrap. it covers the sides along with a back so you don't scratch the camera lens and it shields the antenna points. my bars don't drop. and they gave me another one for free. 20 bucks total. it gives you a grippy feel because the iphone 4 is very slippery.

Whether it is recommended to buy case for iphone

I was wondering whether the iphone develops a lot of scratches over time. Is it advisable to buy a case for it. If yes, which one is the best one to buy.

a case is not needed,unless you want a belt clip, or really just want to make your phone more bulky, but the screen protecting films i highly recommend, its cheap, 15 bucks for two films. it protects from little nicks and scratches on the screen, which its durable, but still prone to slowly accumulating small and annoying nicks, that over time will build up and be very obnoxious.
I believe that a case also protects your iPhone from other than scratches or 'little" nicks as you have suggested. Whether you use the 'film', or a 'skin' or a 'belt' case, it does help prevent other catastrophic situations by providing additional padding if you put it in your pocket, drop it, etc.
The idea of saying "unless" you want to "make your iPhone more bulky" is somewhat flippant, i.e., no one wants more bulk but if it prevents the possible destruction of the iPhone you make a choice - just like the FRAM guy on TV.

Hi, I would like to ask you a question. a month ago I bought a battery case for iPhone 5 and it worked properly until I installed iOS 7. From that day iphone is operating normally, but when the battery is empty, unfortunately I can not charge additionall

Hi,
I would like to ask you a question.
a month ago I bought a battery case for iPhone 5 and it worked properly until I installed iOS 7. From that day my iphone is operating normally, BUT when the battery is empty, unfortunately I can not charge additionally my iphone with the "extra battery case".
Does that mean that you did not even create a new software that supports additional battery case or it is something else?
I need your help!!,
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
VK

The Mophie Air is a good battery case, but doesn't offer the protection she's looking for. I suggest sticking to the Lifeproof, the iPhone has a very good battery (2-3 days moderate usage for me).
To your 2nd to last paragraph, that is false. Verizon is allowing exisiting customers to keep Unlimited Data - but will lose it once they use a subsidized upgrade. So if you buy a 4S (or LTE device for example) outright, you will keep unlimited data. Mobile hotspot may use up a bit of data, but it is a separate add-on/feature. The new Family Share plans may change that, so it's one giant center of data all devices use.

This one's not leather but I've had it before and it's nice. It has microfiber of sorts on the inside so it doesn't scratch the screen.

This one does have some leather but I can't vouch for it since I haven't purchased it-yet.

This one is not leather at all, it's a polyurethane but I swear by it because A. it's cheap and B. it's got a wonderful magnetic closure to keep the flap closed

Uncommon Satin Waves Deflector Case for iPhone 4

Is the Uncommon Satin Waves Deflector Case for iPhone 4 coming soon to Australia?

Were you going to tell us what kind of case it was, or do you want us to just guess?

I've bought leather case for iPhone 4 with a magnet clip situated on the back side just above the "apple" label. Can it interfere with any signals or made other damage?

I have been using a leather case with a magnetic clasp for months. The only side effect is that I need to recalibrate the compass app when I use it. This is really not a problem since I don't use the compass app very often. I haven't encountered any other interference or problems.

Lifeproof Cases for iPhone 4

When will new shipments of the TEAL and GREEN lifeproofs cases be available to purchase online?

Julian, the phones are of the same size, but when you choose a case for the phones, there are a few things to be aware of. A slight difference will determine if a case will suit the phone. I wrote a blog about it. Check it out:

Otter Box Armor Case for iPhone 5

I know this is Apple Forums, but if anybody needs a pouch with belt clip for Otterbox Armor Case for iPhone 5, consider a pouch with belt clip designed for Galaxy S3. I got this "third party" like Amazon, it is REIKO brand pouch with belt clip. My iPhone 5 with Armor case fits snug in this pouch, if somebody found something better, good for you!

Since it is not listed as an available case for the 5s, I would think not.:

Protective cases for iPhones

Two protective cases for iPhones are 1) Lifeproof and 2) Otterbox Defender series. Does anyone have acquaintance with both these cases? If so, is one better than the other? Or is there some other case that is better than either of those? Thank you for the assessment and suggestions.

The iPhone 5 Otterbox Defender case is very nice and is a big improvement over their 4/4S case. The new one is much slimmer and better feeling in the hand, though it's still a BIG CASE.
The Lifeproof case isn't quite as physically rugged as the Otterbox, but it is water resistant where the Otterbox isn't. The Lifeproof case can be used in the shower or even swimming if you keep it above six feet of water. There are some reports that individual Lifeproof cases can muffle sound quality fairly badly (while others don't), but the Otterbox doesn't have those issues as it leaves the speaker ports relatively unobstructed. The Lifeproof case is also much slimmer than the Otterbox while providing a large degree of protection.
Griffin's Survivor series cases are generally as rugged as either of the above, but I don't recall it being waterproof.
There are a number of other cases with a high impact resistance rating out there, but I'd probably stick with one of those three mentioned above, myself.

Does Tech21 Impact Band Case for iPhone 5 work together with a screen film?

Does Tech21 Impact Band Case for iPhone 5 work together with a screen film? If it does what kind of screen film?

A standard screen protector seems to large, when mounting the Band Case the edges on the screen protector get loose.

Best case for iPhone

I'm looking for a good case for the iPhone. Something that protects as well as the otterbox. I don't want the otterbox because the silicone rips and becomes loose fairly easy. Anyone know any good cases

Have you thought about the LifeProof cases? I think they look pretty cool. Personally, I like a sleek case that doesn't make the iPhone much larger.

What are some of the best cases for iPhone 5c?

What are some of the best clear cases for the iPhone 5c that can protect the phone well?

I was wondering the same thing? I have a hard time with buying a case, because I bought the phone because of the color it already is! lol
I was thinking about going with something like the Spigen Case Bumper. Still allows you to see the color of the phone and still have protection.

Hey, Michael
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
My suggestion is you do have a look on the websites accesories section and find something that suits you, from what you are saying you need a stylish yet strong case. So any good plastic based one will do, you can choose the style and color then. Or you can actually visit the store and have a feel. I have several, when im at work i keep the stylish yet strong ones, but when i am in the field or sports i have a pretty strong one, a little chunky too.
I hope this helps you. Let me know if it does. If not feel free to give me a shout. Best of luck.
