The specs for the 4S are almost identical to the previous AT&T iPhone 4. Almost.

I guess when Apple fixed the antenna, they decided to change to mute switch to the Verizon position (slightly lower position).

This means some AT&T cases for the iPhone 4 (like the iPhone 4 speck candyshell) will cover your mute switch halfway rendering it impossible to move..

25 bucks down the drain.
That is all..

This was known and talked about before the 4S was in anyone's hands.

LoL , Harsh, a lot of us are already very aware of little tid bits like this. I dont currently have a case for my phone yet, (c spire version) its still naked. This kind of reminds me of the rep at c-spire running down the "latest iphone features" to me when I purchased it LOL! I was like seriously dude??? I've been in line for 2 hours to get this phone, and I knew every spec for the phone Months ago! haha, trust me, I'm good lol. Between him and all of my AT&T friends telling me things I already knew I was just like..gotcha haha.

FYI thou the back cover from a AT&T iPhone 4 does not fit a 4s

But a Verizon iPhone 4 does fit a 4S I have personally tested this

I use the Mophie Juice Pack Air on my 4S. They have only one version that (according to them) fits ALL flavors of the 4. I suppose (insert DUH here) it depends on how flexible the manufacturer wanted to be when they designed things, and how big the button openings are.

Some case can be used for iphone 4 and iphone 4S.such as aluminum case

Otterboxes can't., There's a disclaimer on the 4s page that says that the cases CAN fit a 4 but on the 4 pages, the disclaimer says they can't fit a 4s. All of the 4 cases are sold out anyway. I did read on CB I think about someone retrofitting a 4 case to work on a 4s. Pair of scissors was involved.
