I have pre-ordered two iPHone 4s phones. I am looking for suggestions for cases.

One of the phones is for my wife, so I am looking for suggestions for a case that she would like and that would also protest the phone.

I have an HTC Evo right now.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

What are you currently using to protect your iPhone?

I personally like cases made by Speck They make the best cases I am not sure yet if Speck has update the site with 4s model but since the size of phone is the same the cases for iphone4 will work too Some of models come with holder so you can watch videos or TV if you have sling media app

You can also try cases by otter box which are more sturdier if you are prone to drop your phone a lot

Thanks for the input. I have thought about getting an otterbox. I haven't heard of speck. Will either case make it bulky? I like how sexy the phone feels naked, but I also want to protect it.

I just heard that the case for the iPhone 4 will not fit the the 4s. Reason given was camera lens size on the 4s is larger and iPhone 4 cases block part of it. Can anyone confirm this?

Speck is very famous for its cases I have had them since first iphone came out I mostly like for their stand as it lets you watch a movie while having a coffee Otterbox are more sturdier and little more expensive and do make iphone little bulky If you want to make your iphone look sexier get colorful cover of Speck I think they do have a pink cover which most ladies like to have on their phone

I did some more digging and found this on it:

Will Your iPhone 4S Work in an iPhone 4 Case? Probably

I guess it depends on when the case was manufactured. Good to know. Nothing about the camera lens as I was told but about the mute and volume buttons.

If you're one of the folks that worry about SAR (radiation) ratings on phones, then Pong Research has the only FCC approved SAR reducing case out there. They have a model 4 case but not sure if the 4S is out yet. You can call them to find out: Pong Research - The leader in radiation reducing cell phone cases.

Color me skeptical. When you do anything that could possibly interfere with the phone's signal strength, the phone will crank up its power to compensate. Wrap the phone in what basically amounts to an RF shield and the phone will respond by increasing its transmission power, thus increasing the SAR.
