The iPhone 4 has a pretty good camera, so you can get some nice shots.  But you’ve got to admit, it can be a bit slippery to hold while you’re taking a picture.  It’s also too narrow to sit on its own, so you can’t set it on the table to steady the camera, and [...]

One really nice thing about being an iPhone owner is that the third-party accessories market is so enormous that one is never at a loss for accessory options.  However, there is a trend in phone cases in general to lean towards the sleek and industrial or luxurious, often leaving those whose tastes tend toward the [...]

As a phone case junkie, I like cases that are sleek and appealing to the eye.  But I have a special place in my heart for cases that are built like an armored personnel carrier.  Behold the Survivor case for iPhone 4 and iPod touch (4th gen) from Griffin Technology.  Like the granddaddy of rugged [...]

Six months ago, I gladly tackled the task of reviewing one of the first machined aluminum cases for the iPhone 4, the Vapor case from ElementCase.  I found it lacking, and since that time, I’ve reviewed several other machined aluminum iPhone 4 cases, each with its own advantages and problems.  ElementCase has recently added a [...]

Over the past several months, I’ve had the opportunity to review a handful of aluminum cases for the iPhone 4, and so far I’ve not found anything that I’ve felt could replace a good plastic/rubber bumper-style case.  The latest entrant in the machined-aluminum case is the Kinetic Case; is it more of the same, or [...]

Back in September, I was given the opportunity to review the ElementCase Vapor case for the iPhone 4, and I just couldn’t give it my recommendation, due primarily to the fact that it was uncomfortable to hold.  I’ve now been given the chance to review another CNC-machined aluminum case for the iPhone 4, the Fusionwerkz [...]

Earlier this year, I told you about some Moleskine-style cases for the iPhone from Pad and Quill, a family-owned company in Minneapolis.  The folks at that company have been busy refining the products and upgrading the materials they use.  They now use real leather for the exteriors, but they still used the birch wood frame [...]

If ever a manufacturer has handed third-party accessories manufacturers a blank check, it was Apple with the iPhone 4.  Whereas the third-party smartphone case market traditionally sets its sights on those who want to protect or personalize their phones, the widely-publicized “Antennagate” issue has effectively ensured that practically every iPhone 4 owner will purchase a [...]
