Will iPhone 4s cases restrict new light sensors?

While looking for cases for the new iPhone 4s, i was wondering if it would be best to purchase a bumper case and not one that covers the back.
When looking at the keynote, the new sensor was described as "Backside illuminated".  It looked like the sensor was located in the back of the iPhone and would be blocked by all cases that cover the back.  Has anyone else noticed this, or seen any comments on it?

I don't think the ambient light sensor has anything to do with the camera. The ambient light sensor is in the same place on the iPhone 4S as the iPhone 4.  It is on the front, right above the ear receiver.  My only concern about cases is the camera lens looks bigger on the iPhone 4S.

  • Will iPhone 5 cases fit the iPhone 5C

    Looking to purchase the iPhone 5C and am wondering if my all my iPhone 5 accessories including cases are compatible.

    I wouldn't count on cases fitting, since the dimensions are different than the 5; but you may be able to stretch a silicone case to fit the 5C. Cables and adapters should work fine.

  • IPhone 5s case incompatible with lighting to 30-pin adapter!

    Got my black 5s yesterday and also picked up a black 5s case. I really like the case and the way my phone looked in it. I have clock radios all over my home and a few lightning to 30 pin adapters that I bought last year with the 5. When I tried to plug the 5s, with case, into my clock radio the lightning connection would not work. The case was too think at the bottom for the adapter to connect. So.....case was returned.
    I must say I'm surprised at apple for missing that. Did they not think that people would maybe plug their phones with a case into a clock radio before going to sleep? Major oversight.

    Have a look at cableJive they make the dockStubz which might do what you are looking for

  • Easy grip iphone 6 case for arthritic fingers

    Can anyone recommend an iPhone 6 case that is light-weight, slim, and makes it easy for those with arthritic fingers to grip?  Rubberized perhaps, something that doesn't slip off surfaces.  I am not that concerned about dropping it but just need something that is easy to grab onto.  My phone has an "Invisible Shield" so no worries with the front of it getting damaged.
    Without a case this phone is impossible -- slips out of my hands constantly.  An Amazon search comes up with 7 million cases for iPhone 6!  No filter for "arthritis" or "disability" or "old folks!"
    Thanks!

    Speck makes some they call something like EasyGrip. They label them as being good for texting as the phone won't slip out of your hands. You shoudl be able to find them someplace ike Amazon.

  • I recently had my cracked iPhone 4 screen fixed, the lady who did it told me my light sensor was broken.. How can I get a new one installed??

    I recently had my cracked iPhone 4 screen fixed, the lady who did it told me my light sensor was broken.. How can I get a new one installed?? i noticed there was something wrong when I talk on the phone it will mute, hold or speaker the calls. It's very annoying how can I fix the light sensor

    Was your cracked screen fixed by an Authorized Apple Service Provider?  I may be wrong, but I didn't think they fixed such things.
    Regardless of who fixed it, and whether it was an authorized repair or not, I recommend bringing it back to the agency that fixed it in the first place.  But note if the repairing agency is not authorized by Apple, you may not want to spend much more money on repairs there for this unit.

  • I just bought a new iPhone 5 today and the Ambient light sensor is not working. What can i do?

    I just bought a new iPhone 5 today and the Ambient light sensor is not working. What can i do?

    Ambient light sensors are not always perfect in their function. To test, go into darkened room, with screen OFF, Locked, tap Home button. Look at screen it should be normal for use in darkened room, turn on bright lights, the screen should brighten to help compensate. If your iPhone does not do this, then Restore iPhone with current iTunes on your computer. See if better. If still problem, make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

  • If I buy a new iPhone 3GS on eBay, can I transfer the SIM card from my current iPhone 3GS into the new one and will it still work?

    I have an 8GB iPhone 3GS on AT&T, and I wanted to purchase a 16GB version on eBay. Will I be able to just pop the SIM card out of the current iPhone 3GS into the new iPhone 3GS and have it work properly?

    Yes, you will be able to use it provided that the 16GB version of 3GS is either factory unlocked or locked to AT&T network (in case of a carrier locked phone).

  • 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.

  • Do the new leather iPhone 5s cases work on the iphone5

    Dusty,
    I purchased an iphone 4 case, but the quality of the screening to the case isn't that great. The image if off center to the left & fuzzy. I'm not sure if the fuzziness is caused by the textured fabric on the back of the case or the image being over scaled. Either way, i'm returning it. I'm hoping the next one will be better.
    I'm not sure if you have a choice of the cases back fabric/texture and/or choosing the sizing of the image on the case. I suggest you look into it. I'll take a photo so you can see what I mean.

  • Will iPhone 3Gs fit into iPhone 3G cases?  Any difference in size/Controls?

    Will the iPhone 3Gs fit into iPhone 3G cases? Any difference in size/Controls?

    I purchased an incase slider before my 32 GB 3GS arrived. When I put the phone in it today, it was so incredibly tight that I almost couldn't get the phone back out of it. I called the incase company and they said that despite Apple's claims that the phones are identical it is possible that the 32 GB phone is slightly thicker and is causing problems with certain slider cases. Incase is nice enough to send me a replacement (even though I bought from apple store online) when they have verified that their cases fit the new phones. My previous iPhone was a 2G so I could not tell if the new case would have fit the 3G. I guess, try before you buy.

  • I have a new 27"ACD connected to a 27" iMac (2010) and cannot control brightness on the ACD. Also, the option to turn off the ambient light sensor is not available. Tanks for any help.

    I have connected a new 27"ACD to a 27" iMac (2010) and cannot independently adjust brightness on the external display. Also, the option for turning off the ambient light sensor is not available. The iMac has the latest updates according to Apple messages. Any help will be appreciated.

    No, Detect Displays had no effect. However, I made the USB connection from the ACD to the iMac after the system was on. Following a re-start, all controls are available. Thank you for your response.
