nsbr: Need new iphone 4s case....

I have this iphone case (link below), but it’s definitely taken a beating. I need something that is protective! If you have a good iPhone case, can you please link it below?

what about a casemate? a verizon guy at the mall kiosk suggested a casemate for its durability.. looks like the reviews are mixed but for the most part people liked it.

I have this case for my iPhone. I've had it for over a year and it is holding up well. I've dropped my phone a bunch of times with no damage. It comes in several different colors.

I have an otter box an love it. It's not the prettiest, but it's grippy and protective. I dropped my old phone constantly and shattered the screen because of it. I've had my new 4s for a few weeks now and haven't dropped tot yet which is huge for me. But I've heard from people who have dropped theirs that no damage has been done with the ottebox on it.

I have the speck candy shell and my phone has survived some pretty good drops! I would suggest getting the satin finish if you can find it. The glossy one scratches pretty quickly (but I'd rather have the protection than a pretty case).

I ordered one from here

with a pic of DS on it. It feels so weird to carry it around because it's so much thinner than my old KS one.

I have the kate spade silicone one and it has protected my phone so well! I guess because it's bouncy... I've definitely dropped my phone multiple times onto concrete and it's fine.

I second the otterbox. The first day I had my iphone I dropped it straight onto our concrete front step. My phone had absolutely no damage.

This is what I have right now.

Honestly Kate Spade candy cases make me so happy. I know some people complain that the case falls off if you drop it- which has happened to me but at the same time- the case takes the fall and there is never anything wrong or scratched on my phone.

The one I have now, I've dropped about 5 times and its never fallen off.

I'm kind of a Kate spade case addict as you can see from the photo- although there is one DVF case in the mix.

The speck candy shell is awesome. I can't believe you don't like it. I drop my phone all the time and it's always protected it. The shock absorption inside is the bomb

I have the case you linked and I like but I love my Kate spade case.

[countthestars]

I LOVE my case

It has an overhang on the front so it's not flush (if you drop it face down the screen doesn't touch the ground).

If you buy multiple, you can color block too -

I'm really hard on my phone and thankfully my casecrown has protected it every time. I ordered a basic pink and got a monogram decal from etsy to style it up.

I think the Speck case is great. I have dropped it a few times on my (concrete) garage floor and no cracks, but the rubberized material around the perimeter of the case is breaking down

I'll look into the other cases as well. Thanks for all the feedback!
