5.0 out of 5 stars A really pleasing, straightforward choice at an excellent price -- NOW UPDATED since I dropped my phone June 7, 2011

Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)

Naturally, once I got my hands on my new Verizon iPhone 4, one of my top priorities was to protect it. It's not a cheap item and I intend to keep it in good shape so I can sell it to buy a 5 when it's available. I searched online for hours, literally hours, looking for the perfect case. I read reviews on iPhone sites, in magazines, on Amazon, everywhere. Finally I settled on the Case-Mate Pop! Case. I like it a lot, and I can recommend it for its slim profile, its sturdiness, and its rubbery side grips.... but it hides the beauty of the iPhone. And the iPhone really is such a lovely piece of machinery. So I was very happily surprised when I got the AmazonBasics case. It's not quite as burly as the Case-Mate, but it's a lot sleeker. It protects most all of the case from scratches, and that's primarily what I want a case for. See my photos in the Customer Photos section above for four shots of what the case looks like on my Verizon iPhone 4; you'll see that there are a few areas left exposed, but overall it's sleek, tight, and protective. I like the fact that it's got a lip around the front; it protects the phone when it's face-down and it keeps the screen protection film from being dislodged at the edges.The Case-Mate, and some other cases, enclose the volume buttons and the on/off button, but the AmazonBasics case leaves them naked. It's perfectly fine, but probably not the best if you're working in filthy environments or you really want maximal protection. On the other hand, the AmazonBasics case, while offering less protection, does stay closer to the natural feel of the iPhone; there's the tradeoff.

I didn't try the screen protector, because I had already installed a Pro Guard Film beforehand. I like the Pro Guard, but dang, 15 bucks for protective film is a lot. I may have been better off just waiting for this one; it looks high-quality, and comes with a little cleaning cloth and smoothing card. If my Pro Guard film comes to a bad end, I'll install the Amazon Basics film and update this review.

One comment -- the design on the back has concentric circles around the Apple logo on the back of the iPhone. It looks okay, I guess, but kind of has the effect of screaming, "LOOKY HERE! A real, authentic iPHONE! With the Apple logo and everything! YAY ME for having an iPhone!" It's a bit overstated for my taste; I would have preferred a plain, clean back.

Overall, it feels good in the hand, pleasantly rubbery/vinyl-y, it has a little bit of traction so it doesn't slip out of your hand, but not so much that it resists going in and out of your pocket, and it lets most of the beauty of your phone shine through. And it's a truly excellent deal for the price. My advice is: If you're looking for a low-key, slim and sleek case to protect your iPhone from scratches and light dings, try this one first before you agonize for hours over picking one and end up spending 45 bucks. It's a very small gamble and I think you'll be quite pleased.

UPDATE, 10 days later...

Inevitably, I dropped my brand new iPhone. Twice. Once on a tile floor and once on a concrete pathway. I didn't expect much protection from this case (my plan was just not to drop the phone -- this is called "denial"). Fortunately, I have to say the case cushioned the blow both times. My iPhone landed on a corner on the concrete, and then fell face-down, and neither the case nor the phone were damaged. I've officially retired the costlier Case-Mate cover I bought earlier. Even the concentric circles on the back of the AmazonBasics case are starting to grow on me, a little. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fits the new iPhone 4S perfectly October 15, 2011

Just wanted to write a quick review confirming that this Amazon Basics TPU case for the iPhone 4 also fits the new 4S. The cutouts for the volume keys and camera are all correct. The Apple logo also lines up with the circles on the back.
