Default iPhone covers

Does anyone have any pictures or links even to sites that sell iPhone cases that cover the whole phone, not just the back?

I have one that covers that back at the moment, and a sheet that covers the front but would like a front and back case if they exist.

i know what you mean, it took me a bit of time to find a cover that protected the front screen while it's in the pocket. i got the "Cygnett Lavish case for iPhone 4" which has a panel to protect the screen.

I've had both the otter box and the eBay one and I got to say the quality difference isn't supported buy the price difference the eBay is pretty good and is lasting quite well,

I have the Otterbox defender and it's great. Not too big and provides good protection.

eBay is your Freind.

Majority of cases found locally are 5 times the price for the same product.

I just bought a case (locally) because I was flying out and ha a small crack appearing in the screen. It's a solid outer shell with a rubber sleeve that sits in grooves so it all matches up nice and smooth.

Paid $35 for it at the shops, looke on eBay can get similar to my door for $7.00.

Shop around!!

In the case of the otterbox cover there are chinese copies available on ebay and elsewhere but they are rubbish. Very poor quality when you hold both side by side. Typical chinese knock offs they look good on the computer screen but wont last a week on your phone.

Best cover hands down!

Water proof, dust proof, shock proof! Can literally throw it in the pool and still use it to take movies or photos underwater!!

Is very slim design and does not make your phone bulky

Also its made out of Kevlar I think and its very smooth so its nice and easy to get in and out of your pocket, doesn't get stuck like those rubber ones

Down side is its about $100 + $25 for shipping, come to my door in like 4-5 business days from US

Its a fair amount to spend on a cover but if it still works after I drop it in the loo then its done its job! unlike my ipod which was never the same again.

Also the dust proof was a big + for me too as I'm a tradie, Dust/dirt/grime gets everywhere and once its in your phone its stuffed

Thanks for the replies, I'll have to check out the otterbox defender and the lifeproof cases to see how the match up.
