IPhone 4 Bumpers/Cases

Does anyone know how apple intends on rolling out the rebates/free bumpers? will it just magically appear one morning on the site leaving everyone in hopes and dreams to be able to get there hands on one? or will there be a hard date/time they are going to put this thing up?

Looks like the smart ones are those who ordered their bumpers and are getting a refund!
I did both. They processed my refund automatically and I just ordered a case through the app. It says "order processed" but it'll likely get canceled eventually. It was worth a shot, I guess.

  • IPhone 5 Cases/ Bumpers

    ok so im sure those of us sporting our fresh iPhone 5s have seen the articles showing how easily sratchable the new back is.
    http://modmyi.com/content/8852-black-iphone-5-anodized-aluminum-reportedly-prone -scratches.html
    terrifying, i know!
    after seeing this i immediately jumped onto the apple store to get a bumper, only to find that apple dont actually sell any cases for their freshest product...
    anyone else find this a bit strange? i mean they know that their customers are more than willing to splash out £15 on a case, so why not sell them?
    anyway if any of you guys know good third party cases id be more than happy, amazon only offer some cheapy things and in my experience these always tend to have a loose fit..
    thanks!

    Minimal Max,
    I too am in the same boat as you are mate. I pre-ordered my phone and my otterbox defender. The otterbox has not arrived but the phone has. Except the phone will NOT cme out of the box until the Otterbox is delivered! Hopefully tomorrow....with that said, there are two options I considered. The Otterbox Defender Series and the Life Proof iPhone 5 case. I went with the OB because of 1) I am a loyal OB Customer already. ( My iPhone 3GS has been a) run over my by ambulance. Phone was perfet. OB replaced the case for free. b) same iphone in OB case was left on top of my car. As I drove off I watched the frightful flight of my phone flying, then landing on the side of the road. Except I didn't know it was my phone. 8 hours later, I saw my phone on the side of the road. Intact! not a scratch and again OB replaced the case. So that is why c) I ordered the Defender Series again because of past perfrmance of the prodcut and customer service but most of all becaue it is AVAILABLE.
    The downside to the OB Defender case was the 30 pin connector didn't fit non apple equipment and some 1/8 stereo jacks dont fit in it either, unless you take the case off.
    I will take a very hard look at the Life Proof Case when it comes out. Truth be told if it was available at the same time the otter box was I would have spent the extra money and ordered the Life Proof Case. I like the fact it is waterproof, not resistant, waterproof case, a rugged waterproof case that can take a beatng. I have seen it first hand with friends and partners who have the Life Proof Case. I was skeptical about the "waterproof" claim...Well it is a great feature of the case. I have seen from these friends, underwater iPhone video. Yes they have taken snorkeling videos with their iPhone 4 and 4S with only the Life Proof Case in 15-20 feet of water.
    Either way you are getting exactly what you are spending, $50 or $80 for IMHO, the best rugged protection on the market today for your iPhone 5. they are not the lightest or slimmest cases. They are, again IMHO, the best rugged protection out there today (or soon to be out there) iPhone 5 cases. Life Proof isn't delivering yet but you can sign up on their website for notification. Otter Box is out and selling. Good luck! You can't go wrong with either one!

  • Where are the iPhone 4 cases???

    I need an iPhone 4 case now. I have already dropped my iPhone and now has a small nick on the bottom metal band. Do you guys think there will be an incase iPhone 4 case anytime soon??

    I just snagged up this iFrogz one until the bumpers are available in-store or until a better 3rd party one comes out: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/iFrogz-+Case+For+Apple+iPhone+4+-Green/1039655.p?id=1218212234856&skuId=1039655
    Not the best but I'll try to keep it nice and just return it when something better comes around

  • IPhone 4 Cases...  Can anyone recommend one?

    I have the iPhone 4 "Bumpers" which are great but they don't offer me the amount of protection I would like to have for it. I'm referring to mainly the touch screen getting scratched or otherwise trying to carry it around w/me.
    Can anyone recommend a good iPhone 4 case or a good place to purchase one?
    Thanks!

    You don't need to be in an industrial environment to get dust, lint and moisture in the ports/switches of the phone. Look at all the posts in this forum about "stuck in headphone mode" and "no sound" due to crap getting in the headset jack. How about "unsupported accessory" messages due to dirt in the dock port and all the post about moisture sensors triggering without immersion due to inadvertent sprays.
    The Defender covers ALL ports, buttons and switches, keeping what you don't want out. It even covers the ring/silent switch avoiding unintended "silent mode"... Definitely ugly though.

  • What iPhone 4 cases do you guys like?

    Hey everyone,
    I'm looking for the slimmest, clearest iPhone 4 case out there!
    Griffin cases are one of my favorites.  Anyone have any other suggestions?

    Little late to the game here as I just upgraded to a 4S (hand me down). I picked up a Speck Candyshell (http://www.speckproducts.com/iphone-case/iphone-4-case/candyshell-for-iphone-4s. html), a Caudabe Concentric (http://www.caudabe.com/collections/iphone-accessories/products/iphone44s-concent ric-pearlwhite) and a Caudabe Satin Series Shell (http://www.caudabe.com/collections/iphone-accessories/products/iphone44s-shell-r ubyred)
    The Speck is great. Fits well, full protection. Only thing is that the rubber sides (or whatever material that is) has started to fray a little bit. But other than that, I love the case. It is probably a tad bit bulkier than I'd like, but I guess there's nothing they can do about that for such comprehensive protection.
    The Caudabe cases look a lot better than the Speck in my opinion. The Concentric is quite stylish, with a fabric back that feels great to the touch. I also like how the sides of the case are transparent, which allows the iPhone's form factor to shine through. Lately, I've been using the Satin Series Shell which is apparently only 0.6 millimeters thin (or so they claim on their website). It is definitely very thin and the coating gives a sort of metallic sheen that changes shades depending on the light. Really gorgeous.
    Also looking at the Spigen SGP bumpers, but they seem a little pricy for what you get.  

  • I Was Told About an iPhone 4s Case that Really...

    In an Apple Forum I posted about a protective but not limiting case since I have trouble with dropping, hitting, etc. expensive things like large phones. Someone told me about a case, said he was thinking about getting one, did not sound too excieted about it, but I saw it at Best Buy and after looking for a year for a practical, case I could tell that this one was going to do what I needed in a case.  In this group of cases one really stood out but if it helps there was one that was like a holster.  I have got a major problem when I am carrying something like an expensive phone, laptop, etc. I drop them (my first MBP, it had to go back to Apple because I cracked the display costing me an additional $1000 just from jitting it by accident against the wall)  I wish I could remember the name of this case.  I came here hoping someone would say it because I was so excieted when I saw it, like I said after looking for a year, I could tell that this one was going to help me out a lot save the phone from being ruined after the first week. Yea Otter is OK but it seems like it would collect more dirt than anything else, this one just really felt to me that it would allow me to not have the iphone destroyed in a month.
    It was not fancy, but so practical.  Anyway, I will see if someone says the name of it.
    I am looking to get a new iPhone 4S (guess why?) and my contract at Verizon was up a year ago. I see that ATT advertises that only AT&T's Network let's your iPhone 4S download 3 times faster?  Is this true?
    A friend of mine sent me some emails from his iPhone 4S and his email adress was his phone number.  Is this an app or does the iPhone 4S allow you to send emails and get your emails without an additional app?
    Still not sure what carrier is the best.  I know I sound like I am all set but then I hear from someone and they make a good point.
    Any idea if the next iPhone will be 4G?
    thanks, I am just looking for some assist. in the areas I just have no idea on like what plan.  How does one decide what plan. Is the mobile hot spot one can make the iPhone 4S due allow one to surf on their MBP while on a car trip or do you need another type of MIFI by Novetel for that?

    applet-
    Which lifeproof case did you get?  Does it look pro along with being super durable? I need one that I can take into meetings and leave it out on the desk along with it being super durable like the ones on Ballistic Case Co.com.
    Do you have invisibleshield or can't you use that with your case?  some of the durable cases have their own cover so they do not allow the invisible shield to be used.
    Do you have a clip for your pants or to clip the case somewhere else?
    I think why they don't get better ratings is not because they are super durable and take care of the iPhone  but because they are not the best looking case out there including ones like some on the Ballistic Case Co.com website.  I have heard people say that they look cheap, like a cheap plastic.  I actualy started this post awhile back and I forgot the name but one night it came to me.  I am still looking  for a case that has the durability like LifeProof but a tad better looking and more professional.  Hard to explain if you don't see that but that is why I have not purchased one yet is because I need a case like LifeProof but more professional looking lie the ones at BallisticCaseCo.com.  Speck makes a good looking, classy durable iPhone 5 case too.  I think it is Speck.

  • Does iPhone 4S (AT&T) fit in iPhone 4 case (AT&T)?

    I just got a iPhone 4S (AT&T), and I wanted to use the bumper I'm currently using for my old iPhone 4 (AT&T).
    However, it doesn't fit exactly. The hole for the mute switch doesn't match with the iPhone 4S'.
    I read somewhere on the Internet saying Verizon iPhone 4 is slightly different from AT&T iPhone 4 because of internal components locations.
    But I thought all AT&T iPhone 4 is the same until now... Did Apple move the mute switch of the AT&T iPhone 4 a bit later???
    I got my iPhone with the bumper when Apple released it last year, so it's really from ititial production, I guess.
    Anyway my question is that I want to know if AT&T iPhone 4 and AT&T iPhone 4S are exact the same or not, specifically location of the mute switch and volume buttons.
    I want to buy a new case for the iPhone 4S, but some say just for iPhone 4 and don't mention 4S, so...

    I personally had an AT&T iPhone 4 and then upgraded recently to the iPhone4S with AT&T.  I did not notice anything with the placement of the buttons.  I did however notice that the camera would not take pictures correctly with my iPhone 4 case on the 4s. It took the picture but the picture would not turn out....it was almost like the lighting etc was being blocked somehow even though the camera lens appears to fit exactly through the iPhone 4 case hole ok.  Once I took the case off and retook the picture the picture turned out perfectly.  I wish the iPhone 4 cases would be compatible as I've not found another Speck Fabric case designed with the bigger camera hole for my iPhone4S.

  • I think I've found the best iPhone 3G case, What do you think?

    Just wanted to post some feedback on my experience with the ivyskin Glass Touch-Thru Ultrathin iPhone 3G Case.
    Yes I signed up just to write this review after being a perverse voyeur on these forums for awhile now, but I am no way affiliated with ivyskin. I recommend this case hands down, it has all that I was looking for in one. It's hard shell case with real glass touch screen built into the case. All ports are covered with a soft silicon so is the home button. The best part is that they'll be introducing a QuattroPac battery extension that fits into this case later next month.
    Putting it on is simple but you need to be careful about the volume switch, you need to insert the iPhone into the case from that side as instructed on the manual because I didn't want to break anything or scratch my phone, anyway it is quite simple.
    You should check this case out before you look at anything else, or after you look at all the cases to compare.

    Is a few scratches on the back of the phone going to break it? Technology is there to be used not to pamper, do you guys have a silk pillow to let your phone rest upon at night...
    No, but having slippery hands and accidentally dropping the iPhone will. A case will give you a much better grip and a lot better protection (if not 100%) should you ever drop the iPhone. I've seen people have iPhones without cases and dropping them accidentally only to have cracked their screens that they have to fork out more money to fix or replace them.
    Are you really that obtuse?

  • Iphone 4 case scratch...

    Hey guys I have been hearing stories from people that iphone 4 cases leave scratches on the exterior of the phone. I am thinking of buying a case because this would protect my phone in case I drop it. However, I am faced with this dilemma of whether I should because I dont wana scratch the phone either. What do you guys think about this? Do you guys have any suggestions on which case to get (like the rubber ones or the hard plastic ones) in order to prevent scratching?

    I ordered ghost armor ( www.ghost-armor.com ). They have it available for Verizon iPhones. I ordered the full body case one. So the phone'll be protected even under the case. It's stronger and more resistant than InvisiShield.
    Also, here's a 10% discount promo code: GA4LAUP
    ;D
    Other than that, I'm getting the Waddler Case (it looks like a penguin!) from www.case-mate.com . They're the only site I found (beyond Verizon and Apple) that actually have Verizon iPhone cases available. And they've got quite a variety too! Yay! =D

  • Will the iPhone 5 cases fit the iPod Touch 5?

    Will an iPhone 5 case fit the iPod Touch 5?

    Yes, Actually it fit really well and the dimension difference is technical not physical so the iPhone case hugs the iPod comfortably and there is not rattle or movement whatsoever.
    I " don't think so" like others.. I've done this and own one!

    Hi Zahid K,
    I don't know of an iPhone case that costs less than $5, but you can find list of iPhone cases with ratings and reviews on the Apple online store.

  • Can I use the iPhone 5s case for the iPhone 5?

    Can I use the iPhone 5s case for the iPhone 5?

    Do cases made for iPhone 5 also work with iPhone 5s?
    While iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s have the same shape and size, the camera and LED flash are different. So cases made for iPhone 5 may affect the camera operation on iPhone 5s, and vice versa. When shopping for cases, you should choose one specifically made for the iPhone model you own.

  • New iPhone 4 Case

    I am in the market for a new Iphone 4 case because my old Otter Box Defender case has taken a beating after a year of use. I am open to any suggestions and I do not have a specific price range or brand in mind. Any ideas as to what I should get?!

    Google for ecoover and you will find a whole bunch of them at stores.ebay.com/ecoover-covers.  I have more than one of these and owned for over a year and they are very great looking and durable and still looking pretty new now. BTW, I found the same cases in retail store that cost almost twice the price.
