IPhone case design suggestion

The leather cases for $39.95 are good and I have ordered one based on reader recomendations. But I suspect that if they are soft, leaning on them might accidentally activate a function on the iPhone (a freind of mine has already had trouble with this).
Hey Apple - howsabout designing one the same size and shape as the leather one, but as a HARD case - like some people have for their glasses? Leave only about 1-2mm space between the lid and the iPhone glass, so it stays slim, but also so that there is no possibility of accidentally activating the screen. Essentially it would be like a case for glasses - when you pop it open, you have the face of the iPhone in front of you. I think that would be awesome.
(Now Mr. Jobs - I KNOW you are honest enough to pay me a little bonus for this recommendation, if it goes into production... You and I have a mutual acquaintance - we've chatted before, but I don't expect you to remember me offhand with the thousands of things you have to take care of every day).
Cheers!

Apple does not design, manufacture, nor put their brand on any cases manufactured by others. AFAIK, all iPhone cases are designed and manufactured by 3rd parties not associated with Apple.

My laptop was stolen and I need to be able to connect my iPhone4 to the new laptop and transfer content (photos, mp3's, apps etc.) to the new laptop. I'm afraid to try a sync in case it deletes all the content off the iPhone. Any suggestions?

You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

Best iPhone Case suggestions..

I am wondering if anyone has a suggestion for my next iPhone case. I need to find one that has a beltclip. The one I have now is a Speck brand and is like a clear silicon rubberized looking case. I have dropped my phone twice now and have small cosmetic marks on the bottom of the phone where the dock connector plugs into. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

My personal recommendation is the iskin revo - I think it is awesome.
- The silicone case is better than the speck - not as sticky in your pocket - but still feels nice
- All of ports are covered - the volume, on/off switch, main menu button, headphone jack (flips back for insert) which really keeps the dust and dirt from your pocket or other areas from getting into the phone.
- The film that goes on the screen is great - not only does it greatly minimize the smears and smudges, but the privacy effect when viewed from the side works great, it directs the light at you - not to the side, which is nice if you are looking at your phone in a theater.
- the extra plastic shield which easily flipts to the back is a nice extra feature - I don't use it much - but I do when I put my phone in my gym bag, or bike bag for extra protectoin on the screen.
its a good all purpose case - I don't use the clip myself though. I've dropped my phone a few times and the extra rubber on the corners provides a little extra cushion in those instances.

Any Iphone case (snaps tightly) with belt clip ?

Can anyone suggest Iphone case with belt clip (with rotation upto 90 degrees or more).
I have tried several of them (with belt clip) all of them are not snapping iphone properly and have a feeling that iphone may fall if walk little fast.
Has any one has any suggestions.
Earlier I had a motorola phone whose holster with belt clip snaps in properly

I bough that case and returned it when I accidentally
figured out how to get the phone out. Once you put
the iPhone in the case, it's close to impossible to
remove the phone to the point of breaking the case.
It suggests to slide out the phone: the angle is too
tight and it was close to scratching the screen.
Highly not recommended and stay clear from this case!
I agree. I bought one when I got the iPhone last week, mostly because I didn't want to use it without any case at all. You're right: it's very difficult to remove the iPhone. Plus, the belt clip feels very flimsy.
I'm holding out for a leather case with some padding to protect the iPhone when I drop it. Ideally, I'd like one similar to the case that I bought for my Sony PDA six years ago. It was pricey (about $71 with shipping), but worth every penny. I just checked the company's Web site (http://www.vajacases.com) - they make an iPhone case, but it looks like you have to remove the phone to use it. They apparently have more designs on the way, though.
(The funny part is that the iPhone with the clear case fits almost perfectly in my Vaja case! I think I may use it that way until they come out with a flip case that's specifically designed for it.)

The best iphone case for functionality

Okay, so I just got myself an i Phone 4S and now am looking for a case. After browsing the interwebs for a bit I have begun to notice the pattern of either bulky hard plastic cases designed to protect I'm guessing, or interesting silicone ones more marketed toward 'showing the personality of the user' as types of cases avalible. The thing is while I do want my fancy (i.e. expensive) new phone to be protected, I also want it to stay fairly slim and functional: I do not carry a purse and usually just stick my phone in my pocket: I also often go out dancing and with this upgrade to a fancier phone I now find myself sattled with a larger one. I'm looking for a case that protects but doesn't add too much extera bulk: any suggestions?

I thought these cases were known to cause heat problems in the Iphone....that is what an ATT rep told me some time ago...did Otterbox recently redesign their cases? I am always afraid that a belt clip will snap off in a busy place like an airport...
The AT&T rep is wrong - no problem with overheating. The only problem the Defender case had was an echo when using speakerphone. Otterbox "redesigned" it by removing a filter like material that covered the mic and speaker - no more echo.
I use the belt clip daily - it's secure, but I wouldn't play hockey wearing it. You can always put the phone in a pocket.

For iPhone Case Lovers and their concern of Magnet Closers!!

I recently learned that some have had issues with their iPhone when used with a cases that includes magnets for closing. Sorry mwhitted for your woes.
While looking for a nice case for myself I became concerned of this, and decide to contact Sena about their Dockable iPhone case. This case seemed to be exactly what I was looking for, but after reading mWhitted and a few others problems I wasn't sure.
So I sent them a e-mail with the links and question their knowledge about their product.
This was late last night (about 1:39 am). How about 10:09 in the a.m. I get a response! A Long and thoroughly explained response (read Below).
Great customer service! I am going to give this company a try and see how well this works.
I have included my original e-mail to them and their response by Ronda so that you may judge for yourself.
PS. mWhitted, aparently the case you used may not have had the proper magnets and maybe not assembled appropriately for this phone which may have caused the problem. What do you think, maybe this may have been the cause?
Thanks for the info by the way.
Below is my email to them.

Subject: Pre-Order Dockable iPhone case
I have looked up many cases for my iPhone and I have found your Dockable one to be just the style and function I am looking for. Although recently there has been a buzz going around that the magnetic closing cases such as these have caused many iPhones to malfunction.
I was curious as to if you had any information on this? I also wanted to send you this so that you may look into this to avoid any potential problems with your sales.
Another question, I would like to know if it would be possible to replace the magnets in this case and apply velcro to it instead as an option for your customers?
As far as the info that I had on the magnets, you can read tease threads from apple support forums for reference.

Update for Case #1086 - "Pre-Order Dockable iPhone case"
We use only non Neodymium magnets that do not interfere with the device. We have done extensive testing with many devices to assure that the magnet use will not harm the internal applications or antenna on the devices which we manufacture cases for. Also we have long created cases for use with the IPOD nano, Ipod 3rd,4th and Ipod Video devices using the non Neodymium magnets in our cases without any interferance at all after selling thousands upon thousands of cases. Sena Cases are designed by Engineers with PhD, they are all handcrafted by skilled craftsmen who have been in the leather industry for many years making them expert leather craftsmen, our cases are not just designed by a purse maker or a designer who is thinking of only fashion and style, because of the engineering focus of the design staff they are detail oriented making sure that each and every feature and function of the device has been addressed and is accessible as well as taking wevery precaution to protect the devices and information which belongs to our loyal customers, and new customers as we hope that each person who finds their way to Sena Cases will become loyal to our products for all devices which they own now and in the future. Because our company's entire focus is PDA, Smartphone and Computer cases Sena Management and Design staff have extensively researched magnets available in the industry and magnetic substrates, with a solid plan to avoid any magnet which would harm any device we have created a case for, So the selection of the magnets available and the possible strengths that we can use are focused on a very limited type and size of magnet, sometimes even shape takes some precidence in the design of certain cases, in regards to the iPhone magnets the staff have created a new installation making the magnet undetectable on the open face of the case so that the form and shape are very sleek and suitable to the high style devbice which is in the Sena Case. Some case makers off shore may just throw a case together without considering future ramifications, These case manufacturers may be selling cases at a lower price point not created out of fine materials or more novelty type accessory cases that are often offered at a bargain price that is unbelievably inexpensive, They may be thinking when creating their own design that " this company and that company use magnets we will to..." this may be how cases get created for devices which may harm the device that they were intended to protect. Sena Cases has taken every precaution to design a slim sleek sexy iphone case that will protect your device in a very stylish fashion throughout the years that you own this expensive device.
I will pass your forum links on to our design staff and the research group as well as our company president for review, Customer feedback is highly valued here at Sena Cases. I assure you that serious research has been done to assure that your iPHONE case will fit precisely allow access to all features and functions and to protect your investment in the device and the information which it contains as you as well as your referrals and your future business is our main focus and if we dint sweat all the little details to attempt to create you a perfect case for your device we could not expect your loyalty to our brand.
We do also stand behind all our products with a one year warranty against any manufacturing defects. The best compliment we can receive is for a customer to refer family, friends, colleagues and strangers that they cross paths with to our cases as your refferral of our product is more valuable to us that a full page color ad in a major magazine, if your happy you will refer many people to our products who will refer their friends and so on and so on....
Stephan, I reccomend that you avoid Neodymium magnets in what ever case you elect to purchase and you will be fine, I am hopefull that you will elect to protect your iPhone in our cases, as we make a fine product as does many competitors in the market, I am not familiar with their designs for this device so I cannot speak openly about any of them, but the iPHONE cases in our office on display as well as future designer cases to be released before the fall are all incredible. Sena Will have some leathers and designs nwever seen before by similar type device owners ever in the past, as our company has searched out new Leather vendors as well as creating our traditional line of stylish Sena cases will be releasing a designer series of cases for iPHONE because the device is phenomonal the design staff and management felt that the cases could also help carry off the devices style in a ddifferent intrepretation.
You will love any of the Sena Cases designs which are available now or in the future., We have had customers stop by and try on the prototype cases which we have photographed and were in love with the look and fit. The sensor on the face of the case has been revised the original case designed before the device was available to accommodate the proximity/light sensors! The sensor lies above the ear piece at the top of the screen. so there will be two circular oval type openings above the screen. These cases are really off the hook, crazy cool and distinctively beautiful, I am hopeful you will enjoy owning one to protect your device.
Regards,

OK. Here it is...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neodymium_magnet
"Neodymium magnets are very strong in comparison to their mass..."
A.K.A. "rare-earth magnetS".
"While most solid state electronic devices are not effected by magnetic fields, some medical devices are not manufactured to mitigate the effects of strong magnetic fields." Maybe phones too?
These could be the ones that I removed from my case:

Case design guidelines missing corners/radius dimensions

Trying to design cases for iPhone 5 and 5c. Most dimensions are outlined clearly in Apple's case design guidelines. But the corner radiuses are conspicuously missing. Seems all the community advice I find is to measure it yourself... Being a risk averse perfectionist, I am looking for something more precise, if available. It must be out there, and think it could help quite a few with same dilemma. Anyone?

IPhone case...what is the best?

What is the best iPhone case out there? I want one that doesn't take away from the elegant design, doesn't collect dust like the silicon cases do, but I want it to be well protected.

I ordered a leather case from Vaja. and like it very much. They offer several styles and quite a few colors. I wanted a case that doesn't cover up the elegant iPhone, but would give it some protection and the ability to clip it to a belt clip when I want to wear it.
Vaja is a bit pricey. I think mine was about $80. It took several weeks to get it as it was custom made in purple leather. More conventional colors may be faster.

What happened to the iphone sleek design. Iphone 4 is ugly and boxy looking

really blew it with the iphone 4gs design. It looks like every other phone now. Its ugly.What happend to the sleek beautiful iphone that we have all come to known.

I think there are other brands that can do more than compete.
Depends what you compare them against. If it is pure hardware technical specification, then yes, there are other phones on the market that exceed the technical specifications of almost every individual iPhone feature.
However, Apple is not a purely hardware company. They spend at least as long, if not longer, on the software that runs on this hardware. And it is that combination of hardware and software that keeps Apple ahead.
What's the point in the most technologically advanced phone ever made, if the software to use it (user interface and operating system) is an absolute pig to use.
I'm lucky that I get to see and play around with most new phones that come out, including all the so-called "iPhone Killers" from Sony Ericsson, Nokia, HTC etc. etc.
So far, not one of them (despite having better technical specs in many cases) beats the iPhone in terms of the overall user experience - how easy, intuitive, seamless, slick and just plain enjoyable - the phones are to use.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia phones look great on paper and in the hand, but they are so annoying to use!! Unintuitive, sluggish, clunky. It's almost as though the software that runs these great bits of hardware is an afterthought, just done in the last few weeks before sale.

apple i know you guys are trying to make things thinner but sometimes i dont like it because i have an itouch 4gen and it keeps slipping out of my hands and i have held the iphone4 and i love the design on it if feels nice. for the itouch 5gen you guys should make it it like the iphone 4 design so it downse not slip out of your hands.

Custom iPhone case

I recently saw that Tmobile came out with a new sidekick with which you can customize the shell of the phone. You just upload a picture or use the templates they have and order it. I was wondering if there is anything like this for iphone cases. I would love to be able to customize the graphics on a hard case for my iphone. The closest thing I found were customized skins but they are just stickers. The other custom designs I saw were leather and over $200. I want something like my agent 18 case but where I can customize the color and graphics.

Google is your friend.

my iphone's memory is near capacity from photo albums sync'ed with my mac and I haven't found out how to delete select albums to free up memory without wiping the iphone. Any suggestions??

You do the opposite of how you got them on your phone, you unsync the pics using iTunes.

My apple ID password works for all of my devices but one. i only have one account and have changed the password several times but still cannot get it to work on my iPhone. any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion, Chris. I actually did not resolve the issue which is why i did not post an answer.
it turns out that my iphone seems to default to an incorrect User ID (it defaults to an @me account, which is not something that i have ever used).
even when i change the User ID in my settings for the iTunes store, it still appears when i attempt to get updates for my existing apps. however, it does seem to use the correct ID when i attempt to purchase new apps.
If someone actually had an answer to correct this, i would love to update my existing apps.
Thank you.
