iphone case

[DDStriker]

Looking for a case for my iphone however it seems alot of these cases are poorly made and tend to scratch the device (who knew? more money != better product)

DO NOT BUY!!!

I bought this case right after buying my new 3GS and with in two weeks it has scratched my phone all the way down both sides!!! I bought the case to stop scratches....I would have been better off keeping the 40 dollars I spent and went without a case!!!

Can anyone recommend a case that protects the phone from being dropped but doesn't scratch the phone? (either by dropping or just general use)

this one seems kind of nice and the battery isn't 2 bad (2000mAh)

although this one has a nice flash light and offers a lot more power (3100mAh) although neither seem to provide proper protection for the device and i doubt i'll be able to fit a case on with a battery

any recommendations? or doesn't anyone use an iphone on this forums? :laugh:

I like you didn't want to spend a lot of money on a case so I bought one of the el cheapo's at first. They suck. So I ended up getting an Otterbox Defender case and wow I couldn't be happier. The thing Does make your phone thicker but it includes a belt clip with it. I love it. Have had mine for 3 weeks now.

Not an issue with money its that the product cost $50 and its apparently crap :p (even some for $100 are of poor quality)

I heard about the otterbox (hehe your post sounds like one of those from the fake reviews sites :laugh:)

it doesn't look to bad but i'm between a rock and a hard place :p i want more battery life but i want a protective case that won't scratch my device in the end

may consider the otterbox/incase slider(if i can confirm it doesn't scratch the device) for one iphone

and preferably a battery powered one for the other~

I just bought this:

Highly recommended - the leather is good quality and soft. The aluminium is never exposed so it will never scratch your iPhone and the flip cover makes it really easy touse. The flip is magnetic so there's no fiddly buttons or catches to contend with. All the iPhone's connectors etc are available due to the clever design.

I only have one issue and that's sometimes it is hard to hit the Q/P/delete button on the keypad because the leather slightly encroaches the screen. However, it simply takes a little getting used to and adjustingyour typing style to overcome that issue.

Another one for the defender. Been using mine since the 3GS came out. Since June 16th this case has been perfect. Doesnt scratch your phone, can withheld many "fatal" drops that would otherwise mess this phone up.

I should know because I got my dad one, and one day as he is getting out of the car pop straight onto concrete and it slide. The rubber took scraps that basically came off by rubbing and the phone was in great condition. My sister has also dropped same said phone from about 5 feet up and nothing has happened.

Both accidents but if he didnt have the defender he would of been very ****ed. Me, I loved my case. Ive gotten use to it, its not TOO much bigger when you get use to it in your hand, then it feels normal.

I use an invisishield on mine. No case, works a treat! :)

I have the Invisishield AND the Defender on mine. Just in case. Like I said, I LOVE my defender case.. ONLY 1 downfall I have with it is its to big to fit in a dock. I need a new alarm clock and wanted to get one that has a dock on it, but I can't with the defender. It is to bulky to fit.

I got a case off eBay that cost $2.50 and $1 shipping. Pretty good case for the price at the start but only lasted a month :( I'm surprised that case scratched your iphone :s
