Ok so I'm a little late on this one guys sorry about that. Anyways go into the app store and download iPhone 4 case program its a free download.
The cases available:
Speck's PixelSkin HD. This just-released case combines twin textures—glossy and matte black plastics—to create a grid on the back of the shell. Easy to put on and take off if necessary, PixelSkin HD has fairly accessory compatible holes and lacks only for screen protection. We'd definitely lean towards this one, which otherwise sells for $30.


PixelSkin HD

Griffin's Reveal Etch. Based on the company's Reveal for iPhone 4, which we've received, Reveal Etch pairs soft rubber sides with a hard plastic back that has a faux carbon fiber texture—the standard Reveal has a clear plastic back. The new version of Reveal we've just received works properly with the iPhone 4's camera and flash system, has reasonably sized accessory holes, and the same integrated button protection as PixelSkin HD. Choosing between them is mostly a question of the type of rear texture you like, but PixelSkin HD's sides are a little firmer, which we like. It's normally $30.


Reveal Standard Version

Griffin's Motif. Normally $20, this is a plastic case that we haven't seen, made from semi-soft TPU with a diamond pattern and smoke coloration. We really like TPU cases we've tested from other companies, but this one hasn't arrived yet, so we can't recommend it. (Updated: Motif and Reveal Etch are now on the way; we'll update this article when they've arrived.) The diamond patterns we've seen on competing TPU cases are sometimes super cool, and sometimes distracting, depending on their sizes. When done right, these cases look neat and represent a great value for their lower prices.

Speck's Fitted Case. We generally really like the style and fit of Speck's Fitted series, which pairs a fabric rear surface with a hard plastic two-piece shell. The one Speck's offering here has a gray and black Tartan Plaid pattern and normally goes for $30; the only reason we'd lean away from it is that the button coverage is really weak by comparison with the cases listed above—they're basically all exposed—and the accessory holes don't have any ability to expand due to the hard plastic. But the fabrics Speck chooses are always really nice, as shown on the version we've covered already, and have a matte finish.

Incase's Snap Case for iPhone 4. Normally sold for $30, this is Incase's take on the seriously overpopulated "simple thin shell" genre, which is only appealing due to the simple, clean design. The iPhone 4 version hasn't arrived yet, but prior versions of this case were extremely similar to takes from companies such as Power Support and Incipio, as well as a million Chinese and Korean OEMs—Incase's selection of colors and textures were more trendy, though. Apple's offering this one in smoke or clear colors, the only case with two versions—neither is the more deluxe Perforated design we liked and featured in our iPod/iPhone Book 5 earlier this year.

Belkin Shield Micra for iPhone 4. With a $25 asking price, Shield Micra is the only case in the bunch that we don't know much about, besides the pictures on Belkin's site—the company has had some rough patches with cases we've seen in recent years. This one appears to have open buttons, but whether it's made from semi-soft TPU plastic or a harder material is unclear; there would likely be button covers if it was made from TPU.


Apple Bumper Case for iPhone 4. Sold for $29, this "case" is really just two types of plastic—one matte rubber, one glossy hard plastic—wrapped around the metal edge of the iPhone 4. It creates major accessory incompatibilities and offers no protection for the iPhone 4's back, unlike all of the other cases above. Though we like its looks, we wouldn't recommend this one.


Notably, none of these cases includes screen protection, making some form of film an advisable additional purchase if you're worried about glare, smudges or potential scratches. A wide collection of other iPhone 4 case options is available in our iPhone 4 Case Gallery, as well.
