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.

Need help to find protective case for iPhone 3G

I am looking for a protective case (preferably black one) for my new iPhone 3G that can protect the screen from scratches (without bubbles and fairly easy to install), protects the remainder from scratches, and allows access to all its buttons.
The Apple store seems to be out of many of them and it is difficult to tell on the online Apple store which one is actually going to work.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

A friend of mine has an otterbox for his Touch. It it bullet-proof. They have one for the 1st gen iPhone, but not yet for the 3G. It should be out any second now. It is very high quality. I am waiting for that. I need something that I can strap to my arm or Camelbak strap and survive if I crash or it rains. That will. There are reviews on amazon. (cheaper on amazon than their own site)

Protective cases for iPhone 4S

Which is the most protective, yet non-bulky, case for the iPhone4S please? While I'm aware that there are several multi layer cases on the market which reputedly offer ultimate protection, these are very big and bulky, adding inches to the phone's size and making it far from discreet to carry, especially in shirt and trouser pockets.
I have therefore been looking at the Speck CandyShell Grip, the Gear4 Jumpsuit Tread and Ballistic Lifestyle, which are slimmer yet seem to offer protection against knocks and dropping. Can anyone please recommend any of these, or other similar yet better products that are available in the UK? Any help or advice greatly appreciated.

I would suggest the survivor series by Griffin. Go to griffintechnology.com to check it out. Yes it is kind of bulky but it comes with a belt clip and I can fit it in the pocket of my work pants. It's military grade and really works! I also like that they have a few different styles available. They're simple but still pretty.

What is the best protective case for the iPhone 4s?

What is the best protective case for the iPhone 4s? If I drop my phone I don't want it to crack or break. How protective is the Gorrila Glass?

I am using the Otterbox Defender, and it's a great case.
Gorilla glass is a glass applied to phones (not the iPhone, it does not use Corning branded glass), but the iPhone screen is pretty good against scratches.

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.

Leather Wallet Case For iPhone 6 (4.7")

Hello!
I'm looking for leather wallet case for my iPhone 6 4.7", I want something that will protect all the body of the iPhone like this - i-Blason-leather-book-folio-wallet-case-for-iphone-6-plus-32.jpg
I want cuts only for the holes not for the entire aluminum so it wont scratch.
Im looking for something with texture like this - new_title_iph6_wallet_blk_1.jpg (Speck Wallet S Case For iPhone 6) but with cuts only for the holes as I mentioned above.
Thanks A Lot!

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.
http://www.moshi.com/overture-for-iphone-6#titanium
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

What is the best protective case for 2011 13" Macbook Pro

What is the best protective case for 2011 13" Macbook Pro (that can withstand an active 4 year old :). My 4 year old plays with the teaching apps on my iPhone 4 in the otterbox case and its great - the bulkiness of the otterbox not an issue and I love being able to give the phone to him and feel completely comforatable. I would love to find something to protect my Macbook Pror. Thanks for any help!!

I would definitely go for a Hardsheel or a Perforated Hardshell Case

Protective case for ipod touch

Im interested in learning about protective cases for the 8gb touch. Im especially interested in a hard, clear case. Any suggestions?

I have a protective screen thing, too, which is great. No bubbles, and if you're careful when you put it on, no dust. I can't even tell it's there.
BUT, while that adequately protects from scratches, I don't feel it does anything in the way of protecting the thing if it's dropped, and it certainly wouldn't protect the screen if it got banged against something in my purse. Those are my concerns. So, I have it in a clear, hard, plastic case. DLO, got it from Best Buy. Like the one mentioned above, but I don't have a pop-out stand - instead it has little rubber grippy things on the back so that it doesn't slide around if I lay it down. In addition to that, I put it in another, cloth, case that protects it somewhat from being hit by the sharp edge of something and has a strap I can put around my wrist). Even that isn't what I really want - what I want to get is something that puts a hard cover right in front of the screen, to keep it from being cracked.
And for the person who mentioned a couple of days ago that s/he doesn't put it in a case because it's not a precious jewel - having a case has saved me at least twice when I've dropped my iPod onto the asphalt next to my car. Just makes me feel better. I don't need my iPod to look perfect for always, but I would like it to continue to function, and I'm the first to admit that my purse isn't the safest place for fragile things

Protective case for G2

Looking for a good protective case for the G2. What do you have and like?

Slightly different opinion than Snn5, no disrespect intended.
TUDIA Ultra-Slim Melody Series TPU case.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FAY38QY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Very low profile. Adds just the right amount of grip, without being bulky. Probably would not protect the phone much from a drop, but this will prevent it leaving your hands.

AppleCare Protection Plan for iPhone

The Protection Plan costs $69.00 for a second year of coverage and I do not know if I should buy it. I have heard that the battery in the iPhone needs to be replaced yearly, is this true? I have heard that to replace a battery, it will cost around $85 and if this is true, isn't it better to get the AppleCare package for $69?
Thanks

Ansuz82,
The iPhone batteries page says designed to retain 80% at this link in the right hand side bar:
http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
The quote from that page is:
A properly maintained iPhone battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 400 full charge and discharge cycles. You may choose to replace your battery when it no longer holds sufficient charge to meet your needs.
The page you link to says it will be replaced by Apple if it drops to below 50% capacity while covered. The actual quote is:
Your one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery. You can extend your coverage to two years from the date of your iPhone purchase with the AppleCare Protection Plan for iPhone. During the plan’s coverage period, Apple will replace the battery if it drops below 50% of its original capacity. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers a battery replacement for $79, plus $6.95 shipping, subject to local tax. Apple disposes of your battery in an environmentally friendly manner.
In other word it should retain 80% of its capacity at least after 400 full charge cycles. If your battery should drop below 50% capacity while covered by warranty or AppleCare Protection Plan, it will be replaced by Apple. There isn't a way to read the number of cycles off the battery that I am aware of.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

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:
