Quick Look: Apple Bumper for iPhone 4S

by on April 18th, 2012 at 10:19 am

I picked up a black iPhone Bumper last week and am absolutely loving it as a case. I had overlooked the Bumper entirely because so many of the iPhone enthusiasts I follow tend to look down on it, but seeing as I was on the market for a nice lightweight …

What might the Verizon iPhone 4 mean for iPhone 4 cases?

by on January 11th, 2011 at 11:32 am

Here’s another interesting bit from Engadget’s hands-on impressions of the Verizon iPhone: The only real physical difference we can find are those tweaked CDMA-compatible antennas running around the edge — four in all, placed symmetrically and bumping down the volume / mute buttons.

Review: Zazzle custom fitted case for iPhone 3GS

by on January 5th, 2011 at 5:44 pm

Ordering a case from Zazzle is much like ordering a Speck Fitted case (available for the 3GS or iPhone 4), except that you get to choose the image that shows up on the fabric backing. ORDER Designing my case was a real pleasure, and the interface on Zazzle.com for creating …

I posted quite a while ago about the $0.01 offer from DefaultCase. Each case actually costs 4.00 USD in total ($0.01 + $3.99 shipping) and I ended up ordering three of them to play around with. I also posted a quick link to Larry Greenberg’s post on GearDiary about the …

by on September 10th, 2010 at 11:27 am

Damn it. I don’t even have an iPhone 4, but even I was excited about the Element Vapor case ($80). Unfortunately, three writers at Gear Diary (Judie, Larry, and Dan) have experienced some major signal issues when using the lovely case, which is strange, since the Vapor website states: It …

$0.01 iPhone case from Default Case (with $3.99 shipping)

by on September 2nd, 2010 at 2:01 pm

The saying is actually “a penny for your thoughts” and not “a penny for your iPhone case”, but whatever, I’ll take three. Default Case is having a 99% off sale on their iPhone 3G/S and iPhone 4 cases, and there doesn’t seem to be any catch, aside from the shipping …
