I personally feel that Otter Box dropped the ball with the iPhone 4/4S
cases. I really like the TPU s-shape cases. If you look on Amazon, just
do a search for iphone 4 tpu and you will find some pretty neat ones.
They are cheap, but provide good support if you drop your phone and they
don't add bulk. It's true that they won't protect as much as an Otter
Box case, but hey, at least they won't get bent out of shape like the
Otter Box rubber does. For the iPhone 5 I think Otter Box fixed their
issues and those cases are fine, but I don't blame you for looking for
something else for your 4.

Hey everyone,
I have a couple questions about cases for the 4s.
Both my husband and I currently have the Otter Box defender for our
iPhone and honestly we aren’t really happy with it. Over time the rubber
shell seems to have stretched and it no longer fits well and the covers
for the ports won’t stay closed. Both of us had ours less then a year
and had to take it back to the store to have it replaced since it was
still under warranty. We thought maybe it was just a fluke so we now
have our replacement cases and the same problem is happening with these
now too.
we are both in the market to get a new case and I was curious on other’s
experiences with different brands. the Defender wasn’t’ exactly cheap so
I would like to get others opinions before I move forward.
I read the lifehacker’s top 5 cases and am not sure if any of those fit
my needs. I want a case that is not bulky but one that gives complete
protection, both to the sides and the screen. One that prevents
scratches and can protect the phone from drops. It is the reason I first
chose the Otter Box defender.
I know of the Lifeproof case as a co-worker had it. I am curious since
the case is water proof and completely covers the speakers, is Voiceover
muffled? I would think that it would dampen sound. and I know Voiceover
could still be heard but I admit I like clear crisp sound. Also, My
husband has a hearing problem so that could be a very large con.
The one case on Lifehacker which sort of caught my interest was the case
Mate Tough case. It seems that it may have some durability though not
seeing it in person I am not sure. does anyone have this case? if so,
what are your thoughts?
finally, my husband is also looking at cases with battery packs. we
looked at the Mophie Juice pack on Amazon but it did not get good
reviews. Many said that there were fakes out there. also, that it was
cheaply made and the connectors broke easily. I know there were other
battery cases mentioned on this list but for the life of me I can’t
remember the brands.
Thank you in advance for any responses. If some of this has been
answered before I apoligize for generating meaningless list traffic. I
did not see it when I viewed the archives. Feel free to reply off list
if you would like.
Kellie, Loki and Lady J.
