This review is from: Sonix Snap Slim Case for Verizon or AT&T iPhone 4 with 2 Screen Protectors (Black) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I have owned the iphone 3GS and now the iphone 4. Between the 2 I have purchased 3 different cases for the iphone 3GS and this is my second case for the iphone 4 (I also have the Apple bumper). The cost of the various cases I have bought have ranged from $20-$50. Here is my basic impression of how the Sonix case stacks up:

1. Build quality: This is a very thin and lightweight case. If you want a case that will protect your phone from drops, the Apple bumper may be a better choice. In fact I did drop the phone with the bumper and there were no scratches. Zero. Haven't had an accident with this one, but it's a nice quality case, with a very nice grip but it's main function is to protect the phone from nicks and bruises in daily use. I have switched to using this as my default case.

2. Design: This is the best 'looking' case I have ever owned! It is very slim and light and compliments the iphone 4 beautifully. Whereas with the Apple bumper you completely lose the metal looks of this band, this one keeps enough highlights of the aluminium band that the phone does not lose any of its attractiveness. With ANY other phone I would not care about cloaking the phone in a case, but the iphone 4 is a thing of beauty! You just need to see it and hold it to know what I mean. This case is unique because it does NOT change either the balance or the looks of the phone. It compliments it very well.

3. Impact on antenna issue: Frankly I have had no dropped calls with my iphone 4. It is better than my iphone 3gs in very way in terms of call quality. In fact I was in the Outer Banks recently and while my wife Sony Ericsson C902 phone had a hard time keeping a signal for a call, the iphone 4 had no issues. I do have the issue where the bars will drop when you hold the phone a certain way, but it has no impact on my call quality. This case, like the bumper helps in not dropping the bars compared to holding the phone, but it does not help or degrade the call quality. So, if you are looking to get this case to help with call quality I am afraid my experience in both the Washington DC area and the outer banks and places in between says it won't help or hurt...

4. Value: At $19.99 this is a no brainer really. You get the best looking case that is very functional and elegant. I don't really use the screen protector. The screen on the iphone 4 is already pretty glare resistant - more so than the 3GS, so the screen protector can help with scratches but not for glare. For what it's worth I used my iphone 4 as a GPS for our trip to the outer banks. The screen on the iphone 4 was completely readable even in the brightest and direct sun light. The screen on the iphone 4 is fantastic and covering it up with a protector doesn't seem like a good idea (to me at least).

Overall, I am really happy with this case and would recommend it to anyone.

This case is just what I was looking for. It's very similar to the Cozip case I used with my original iPhone. It seems to provide some decent protection for the phone and allows me to get a better grip on the slippery bugger. I was worried that the "stilts" might be something goofy, but there really are no stilts. The front of the case simply has a lip which is slightly higher than the glass on the iPhone. It looks nice and elegant.

I have been experiencing the reception problem when cradling the phone in my left hand. This case helped a bit with that. My bars still go from 5 down to 1, but I no longer lose the connection and the 3G data transmissions don't grind to a halt any more. I think a thicker case (like the Apple bumper) would be more successful in maintaining the signal.

Note that the "photo" shown is not quite accurate. It's more likely an artist's rendition. The edges are not as rounded as shown and the volume buttons are not visible from the back.

If you're looking for an iphone 4 slim case then stop looking. This is it. The case itself is very slim and low profile for that snug bareback like feel, yet the smooth hard rubber back and sides allows for excellent handling. It's also great for tight jeans and clothing, I can now insert and fish out my iphone 4 without a hitch.

Unfortunately this case is not going to provide much protection against a hard drop at waist level but that isn't the point. You can buy other bulky and unwieldy cases for that. Think of this case as the rubber coating that Apple, in their hubris and arrogance, omitted to ship with every iphone 4. It even comes with a decent screen protector, hence for the price this combo can't be beat. My only regret is not ordering this case before AT&T and Apple bent me over and raped with their lousy $30 bumpers and $20 screen protectors.
