4S: to case or not to case?

[JayCee15]

I just bought me a Griffin Reveal Case. Heard it was a great case. Should be at my door before the 14th

Invisible Shield on the front, wrapped in Seidio Surface with holster.

This is very helpful information. I am checking out different options in case I get to surprise my son with an iPhone. I am a firm believer in using a case but I also think that it will be difficult to cover up such a nice device. The Invisible Shield sounds like a good option.

For the AppleCare+,you may want to double check with Apple before you buy it.I pre-ordered my iP4s from AT&T and then decided to call up Apple before purchasing AppleCare+, as the Apple website has some fine print at the bottom of the AppleCare+ page saying "AppleCare+ must be purchased together with new covered equipment."

Bottom line, I was told by the Apple rep that I would have to cancel my order with AT&T and reorder my iP4s through the apple store to get a valid Applecare+ plan.

I am planning to use a zagg full body protection to avoid any scratches and carry in a belt pouch.
I agree with all of you that I would not want to cover it in case( its like seeing people in winter with thick jackets, only eyes are visible you know)
I do plan to buy apple care+ as I didn't get the option at verizon check out.

definitely planning on getting a case, that is after i find the perfect metal case.

Maybe a vapor 4 or maybe a diamondback. time to search more!!

I have thought the same way. Apple designed it to be held and admired in it's uncovered form. But I was told the deductible for my wife's 16gb is $169 and my 32gb is $199
So I picked up a couple of Otterbox covers on Amazon for a great discount. This is the case I see most at work. So I'll give it a try. I may hate it since I normally use skins on my phones. But there is one great thing about Apple not changing the size of the iPhone...cheap cases. These are regular priced $50 each, well I got both for $41. So time will tell.

I ended up with a casemate pop but almost bought the otterbox reflex. It seemed a bit slimmer and may work for both at work and off. Otherwise I'll fins something slimmer for my off days. My job is to physical to run it naked.

I ALWAYS use a screen protector and a hard case as well as a softcase or even a thick sock. I like the looks naked but I don't trust it or myself.

My husband removed his screen protector and within 2 days the screen and back were destroyed. His keys had scratched the thing so bad I can't really understand how he can see anything.

Case-Mate Barely There for me -- and one nice thing about Apple not changing the iPhone design this year is that all my accessories... including cases... will hopefully (we will find out next Friday) work/fit perfectly

Will you carry your new iPhone 4S naked, or swathed in some sort of case? If you choose the latter, which one?

I'm going to enjoy my 4S as Apple intended - in the buff so to speak. My 3GS has lived in a Case Mate case for the past two years, mostly to protect the back from scratches. Unfortunately this didn't protect it while falling face down on concrete twice and cracking the screen each time. But with that, I bought AppleCare+ for the new phone.

I know/knew Apple products are beautiful to look at, but didn't fully appreciate how much time they put into the physical form and design until reading so many articles upon Steve Jobs passing this week. That being said, IMO it'd be a shame to not enjoy the beauty of the 4S design by spoiling it, obscured from view.

If by god I use both repairs via AppleCare before the next phone arrives, then I'll bite the bullet and get an OtterBox. But til that fateful day I'll enjoy my white 4S as it is out of the box.

What say ye?

PUT IT IN A CASE!!!!!! I am suppperrr OCD and if my iPhone 4 gets a single tiny little beauty mark on it I go insane. But that's just me personally. You don't really need an Otterbox either Incepio works prefectly for me.

I'd use a case with mine! The otterbox series seem to always get the job done with past experiences.

iSkin claro: Best Clear Case for iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S

 

[robes1]

I love the way that the phone looks so I don't want a case that's going to hide it!

 

[JsGrandma]

Society6 case?

I'm currently using a CaseMate Barely There on my BB Storm2 and love it for how it fits the phone and has protected it the few times I've dropped it..............I just found the Society6 site for iPhone cases and was wondering if anyone has previous experience with the Society 6 cases.

 

[D0minoid]

my wife is going with a case.

 

[mariska#AC]

I just purchased the Case-mate barely there pearl. 5 stars from over 600 reviews so it must be great!

 

[therandomone]

I think I'll be going with the iSkin Claro, that robes1 posted a couple posts up. It looks nice!

Never owned a case, never will.
