Best iPhone 4 Cases

So, you got yourself a shiny new iPhone 4 and if you're one of the lucky first, you probably have an iPhone bumper too. But let's face it, though that bumper may reduce the iPhone 4's antennae issue, it would do nothing to protect the front and back of your iPhone 4 from scratches if you put it in your pocket or your purse and as for Apple's Case program, there's a 3 week waiting time so here are some of the good iPhone 4 cases that I've seen while waiting for your free case:

iPhone 4 Leather Flip Case

This is available at Mobile Fun for £8.97. Your iPhone 4 fits perfectly thanks to the solid plastic guide rails. The case has a hardened outer shell to protect it from short drops and the inner soft velvet material helps protect the screen of your phone. The downside? There's no access for the charger on the bottom of the case, so the case has to remain open while charging which kinda negates the protection issue since I usually drop my phones while charging but other than that, it's cheap.

Alu Leather Case for iPhone 4

Another leather flip case from Mobile Fun but more expensive than the previous one at £22.47. The good points are: it's made from good quality faux leather, stitching is solid, it has an easy access for the charger at the bottom. Bad points? Some people say that the camera hole doesn't fit perfectly and the flap is on top so it gets in the way when taking pictures in portrait mode.

Slim Line Leather Pull Case

A leather pouch case from Mobile Fun for £12.95. Your iPhone will fit snugly in this and taking out your phone is easy with the the pull tab and the microfiber interior also helps clean the front and back of your phone from those fingerprint smudges. The case is made from soft leather so it won't add bulk in your pocket unlike the previous two cases. The downside? You have to constantly pull out your phone from the case in order to use it which may make your phone prone to scratches if some small solid particles happen to go inside the case. I recommend using Zagg Invisible shiled or other screen protectors in conjunction with this case.

BPM Black Leather Pouch Case

This one is like the previous case only without the pull tab. It's also made form soft leather and has a microfiber interior. It's from Amazon and is considerably much cheaper than the previous one at only £2.45. I see similar disadvantage as the previous one with the addition that this might be harder to pull out because it doesn't have a pull out tab but so far, reviews are favorable over at Amazon.

Incipio Feather Case for iPhone 4

This one is also from Amazon and costs £17.95 with free delivery within UK. The Incipio Feather case is good for protecting your phone from scratches and it doesn't add any bulk. Made from ultra-light and ultra strong polymer, it has a soft matte finish and includes two surface protectors and cleaning cloth. This is great for protecting your phone when inside your pocket or purse but won't really do much good if you drop your phone.

Case-Mate Barely there for iPhone 4

This one is similar to the Incipio Feather case and costs the same at £17.95 over at Mobile Fun. The difference is, according to mobilefun, it's made from impact resistant flexible plastic shield so it could probably do more to protect your phone from drops though I wouldn't recommend doing so just to test it. It also has a cut out at the back so you can show off that precious Apple logo and comes with an iPhone 4 screen protection kit.
