IPhone 4 Cases Review: Best Protection Options
Apple fans everywhere have been celebrating the release of the iPhone 4. Thousands of people have tried to get one in hand and enjoy the latest product from the great company. It would certainly be tragic if someone found himself having to spend twice the money for an iPhone because he failed to protect the first one be bought, even though Apple’s do have a reputation for being less sturdy than some of the competition.
There are a number of potential protectors on the market, but the iPhone 4 case is the best choice. Without the iPhone 4 cases, your lovely phone may be scratched easily and there would be scars left on the phone. Thus, you should learn several useful tips that may help you to get a right case for your new iPhone.
First, the iPhone 4 is not like any of the earlier versions in this family of smartphones. For one thing, the new iPhone has two cameras. Any case you buy for your camera must accommodate both the front and back cameras, or you won’t be able to take full advantage of this feature. If you buy a case that was designed to use for earlier versions of the iPhone series, the case may cover up the LED flash or the cameras, and it won’t be possible to use the camera easily.
You’ll also want to be sure that you have access to all the buttons and plugs that have been placed along the edges of the iPhone 4. How would you be able to enjoy those songs you just downloaded from iTunes if the 3.5mm jack has been covered up by your old phone case?
There are many options for the iPhone 4, like the Dexim DLA155L Silicone case, a well-designed and constructed case that will protect your iPhone as well as give it a personal touch. Other models, such as the Griffin GBO1715 Elan Wallet Platinum iPhone 4 case, are made to slip easily into and out of a pocket. Instead you can even decide to purchase the Scosche IP4K2D switchBACK g4 TPU for iPhone4 which is a sleek handcrafted versatile case.
Buying cases from several well-tested brands give you other items in addition to the case itself. For example, you can get a cloth to keep your iPhone 4 clean. In addition, If you buy your case in a package with all the extra features included, your case may come with some screen protectors. If you are going to purchase these items separately, purchasing one package would be more cost-effective.
The price would surely be your point of consideration. Most iPhone cases are priced between $19 and $35. And there are a lot of colors for you to choose.

Google Takes A Bite Out Of Apple Marketshare With The Motorola Droid X
A beatdown is about to go down in Silicon Valley, and Apple is just about to get crushed.
Steve Jobs’ reign of terror and selling people their own socks is about to come to a screeching halt. The last two iterations of the iPhone have been massively disappointing, with Apple adding slightly more battery life, faster processors, better cameras, and a higher resolution screen. That is it. Nothing I’d consider magical, however just adequate to get Apple fanboys off the couch and into a long line only to find out the mobile phone they needed to survive was massively under produced. The biggest features of the iPhone 4 — multitasking and adding backgrounds, things Google had integrated into Android from the beginning. So, if you are looking for something truly magical this cell phone season, you shoud consider taking the Droid X for a test drive. The price is also just right for the Droid X, coming in at $199, which leaves enough room to purchase Droid X accessories.
Droid X, the innovation of Google, Motorola, Verizon and Adobe is what the iPhone 4 could have been And, thanks to Steve Jobs’ unwillingness to cooperate nicely with other companies (eg, barring Adobe Flash, and refusing to build a Verizon-compatible iPhone), the Motorola Droid X is probably just the ticket Google have been wanting for to munch into Apple’s healthy share of the smartphone market. In a report available by market research firm comScore in April, Google went from owning 3.8% of the pda phone market in November 2009 to owning an impressive 9% of the cellular phone market in February 2010. Apple, on the other hand, controlled a little higher than 25% of the mobile phone market in that same time frame. Here’s where the Droid X comes in.
The Droid X features an 8-megapixel camera, Adobe Flash compatibility (a VERY big deal), a Wi-Fi hotspot that powers up to 5 devices, Swype compatibility (a nifty keyboard program that’ll make poking a digital keyboard a less stressful experience), and an HDMI output. Also, the Droid X will feature a large 4.3in LCD screen, which you’ll probably want to protect it with a Droid X screen protector. Undoubtedly an absolute iPhone killer, and if Google can boost on nearly 5% more marketshare within 3 months without a product leading the charge, We have to imagine that the Droid X can lift Google’s ownership of the cellular phone market to a practical fifteen-percent by the end of 2010, possibly swiping some marketshare away from Apple.
The biggest selling points as we go into the next era of pda phones — the price. Thanks to Verizon, the Droid X has a $30 unrestricted data plan, unlike AT&T, which recently announced it will start slapping some serious price penalties on new smartphone users who use more 2 gigabytes of data per month. For those of you with an iPhone, that’s not projected to be a whole lot of Netflix shows when you leave the friendly confines of your Wi-Fi.
So, before blindly throwing any more money at Apple, check out the more geek-friendly and genuinely revolutionary The Motorola Droid X.
