What kind of a case do you use for your I-Phone? My wife just got a new phone and needs a case for it. TIA Bruceter
I use an Otterbox Defender. There's another model, the Commuter I think it's called, that's a little thinner for those who find the Defender too bulky.
Speck candy shell, hands down the best you can buy and it will still slide in and out of her pocket easy. I drop mine on pavement every now and then and it's good as new. They also come in a couple colors. Must have apps... Cut the Rope Words with Friends Doodle Jump Tilt to Live And my wife loves a little unknown app/game called, Quadrix If you want to edit the HD video, remember to hold to phone sideways, that way it will be in landscape mode. IMovie is the best video editing app, a little pricey at $4.99 but totally worth it if you want to edit on the phone.
Another Otterbox Defender here. I am hard on phones, even durable phones have been murdered quickly. So far this case has kept my iphone safe.
If I had an iPhone I would get this. Not because it "Magpul" but because I have handled one and they seem like they will really protect the phone. Feels really solid http://store.magpul.com/prod_detail_list/125
The Magpul cases are really cool. My friend has one on his 3GS and loves it. I know others who also swear by the Otterbox.
I use a Speck on my 3G. It was ~$35 IIRC. It has served me well even though a little piece broke off of the bottom after about 9 mos. It's a solid case and I would probably buy a new one. Also make sure to get a pack of slip covers to protect the touch screen. With this case and those screen protectors your wife's phone should stay like new.
I have both the Defender and Commuter. I prefer the commuter as its not huge and you still keep the general shape of the phone. I use the defender when I know the phone could face some major abuse. But the Commuter protects well for any other time.
Check out the various YouTube vids for a front view. There's nothing really to see though. It's just open on the front. That said, the Magpul does look nice, but if you can stand a bit more bulk, the Otterbox Defender does provide more protection - particularly with the soft, flexible silicon covers that keep dust out of the charging port, headphone jack, etc.
I don't have one, but I love the look of these cases: http://karaskustomsonline.com/apple/iphone-4g/iphone-4g.html
I have the Otterbox Commuter and really like it. I had the Defender on my old one and liked it also. This new case looks very promising. http://www.lifeproof.com/lifeproof-store/apple-cases/iphone-4
I've had my iPhone for about two years now, and I've dropped the phone several times, it's been roughly handled at jobsites, covered in wood dust (I'm a carpenter) splashed with water, etc. I just took my phone out of the defender case and it literally looks brand new. The otterbox case is one of the few purchases I've made that has absolutely been worth the money I paid for it.
I really like otter box cases. They include both a rubber skin and a hard plastic case. My kids haven't managed to break my phone yet.
