I saw the preview for that during CES. Lol.

I'm living dangerously. Since its summer like here in Ontario, I'm allowing my iPhone to drink in the vitamin D. She's naked. I am tending to run caseless more and more now that I have the 9900 as a backup.

I got both of my Ballistics cases in the mail this weekend and had all weekend to test them out. I got one in light pink and one in hot pink.

I've been an Otterbox gal for quite some time. I've used an Otterbox on all of my phones from my very first 8350i to my current iPhone4s, but like some other people I know, I've gotten tired of waiting on them to release the color combinations for the 4s that they have out for the 4, so I found the Ballistics case on Amazon. I'll include a link at the end of the review.

The case is easy to assemble and comes with three parts: The belt clip holster, the rubber skin and the plastic case. The phone can be used without the rubber skin, but for an added layer, use the rubber skin. I do. The belt clip will work without the rubber skin, but I'm accident prone when it comes to phones and considering how fragile the iPhone is, I need all the help I can get.

Sorry for the crappy photo quality. I had to use my Storm2 to take the photos of the case on the iPhone. :D

The hot pink case showing all 3 pieces. The writing on the plastic case was the protector thing on it. Just peel that off and you're good to go.

Light pink case without the rubber casing on. I didn't get one of the hot pink case minus the rubber casing.

The case was really easy to put on the iPhone. The plastic shell comes apart into two halves. Put your iPhone into the back half, snap on the front part and you're done. The plastic part has a built in screen protector like the Otterbox Defender series does which I love. I can't stand the apply it yourself screen protectors.

All ports are easily accessable. The proximity sensor worked just fine when I was on the phone. I could still charge my phone easily. The mute switch on the side was easily accessable. Power on and power off button worked fine. Volume controls were fine.

Light pink

Two gripes:

I'm still not able to dock my phone on my iHome without taking the case off.
I'm not able to charge my phone with the belt clip on. I have to take that off.

Other than that, I'm very pleased and you can't beat $9.

Link to buy: Amazon.com: AGF Ballistic HC Case for iPhone 4, Pink: Cell Phones & Accessories

And it's cheaper than what I paid for it. :D

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Laura !!:D I love the 2 pinks you choose. I'm gonna be checking those out indeed and perhaps add them to my case collection :eek: LOL.

One question for you-are they the same size or larger than an OB defender?

You're welcome. :D There are other colors, but I liked the pink ones.

They're about the same size as the Defender. I don't notice one case being heavier than the other. I wear my phone clipped to the inside of the waistband of my pants, especially when I'm out with the horses, and haven't felt like one was bigger than the other.

Just got my new iPhone 4S Sleeve a couple weeks back and I'm getting lots of compliments on it's uniqueness. Personalized for free and tons of designs to choose from. Made by Joe V. Leather.

I figured you'd order it. :) You'll love it. I've been switching back and forth between the hot pink and the lighter pink case since I bought them. I'll use the hot pink for a day, then switch to the other pink.

Do any of the Speck Candyshell cases come with belt clips? I found some colors I like but it doesn't look like they come with belt clips.

Also, do they have a built in screen protector like Otterbox and Ballistics?
