Caseless iPhone 4's- a year later. Post your pics!
- I am very interested in those of you who have had an iPhone 4 for a year (or so, less in the case of the white) and never used a case. I am wondering what they look like after a year of no-protection. Scratched? Marked up? Cracked? Let's see! I have kept my black iPhone 4 in a case for the last year so it looks like it did when I originally got it but I am thinking of going without a case on my new white iPhone 4S.10-10-2011 03:18 PMLike 0
- I sold mine fast and no longer can provide pictures but I had some sand and dust get under the top edge of my Otterbox defender case and caused some minor scratching and pitting of the glass. I am going to put my 4S into a reflex case with the open front to try to avoid the same issue with the new phone. I think as long as the phone is not put in a pocket with keys, screws or anything else dumb it will last and look as good as new, I just dont trust myself enough to chance it and the $35 reflex case is cheap insurance!10-10-2011 03:27 PMLike 0

- Yea after taking mine out of the defender case to clean it I always feel bad putting it back in that huge ugly case! I decided to go the reflex case route after watching every review video on you tube and numerous tweets and emails to Otterbox with question after question! I think it is the best protection with the least covering of the design I have found and it will let me use it while working and still have that feeling of security. I am also looking forward to siri and using my bluetooth to answer and receive incoming texts not only will it let me multi task better but less touching my phone while covered in PVC primer and cement!10-10-2011 03:58 PMLike 0
- I have just a few little scratches on the bottom around the 30-pin connector and a couple of "marks" around the volume buttons/silent switch. No other marks, mars or blemishes.
I removed the Ghost Armor film on the front after about 2 months... and recently have put it in CaseMate barely there case - probably a month ago or so... otherwise, I rolled mostly commando.Last edited by Fausty82; 10-10-2011 at 04:09 PM.
