My wife and I just got our new iPhone 4s, and the next thing we needed was a case. (Especially because the Apple free iPhone 4 case program currently says it takes weeks to get the free case.) We were surprised that the case we finally settled on seems to be unknown to many reviewers. It isn't in the MacWorld case reviews done so far, and we didn't yet find a video about it on YouTube.
We wanted a case that would provide protection in case the phone was dropped, would make it easy to grip (since the iPhone is very slick and slippery), would take care of the famous signal drop-off when the iPhone is held a certain way, and would look good. Also, I wanted mine to have a belt clip.
Even though it wasn't in any of the lists of iPhone 4 case reviews we saw, we found via Google, the zCover Classic Ruggedized Healthcare Grade Silicone Case for Apple iPhone 4.
zCover states on their site that "The phone edges are protected with a reinforced layer of silicone that acts like a crash pad. Your phone will not be damaged even when dropped from up to 25 feet onto a hard surface."
Our zCovers arrived yesterday and we like them a lot.
Looks good and comes in a variety of colors.
Easy access to controls.
Wide cutout for the camera, but it doesn't do much to minimize the flash bounce-back from the flash bouncing off the edges of the camera cutout.
Thick silicon case wraps around phone.
#2It seems to help on my iPhone. But most cases should. If you hold your thumb over the hot spot- the black line on the lower left edge - for 30 seconds, can you make the bars drop to 0 the way you can when there is no case on the iPhone?
Does this case really help with the call drop problem? I've tried a few different cases for mine and it seems like none of them work.
