    Hi y'all,

    Just thought before I shell out on a case, I'd check with QBN. Has anyone here had any issues with buying cases for the iPhone 4S? I'm looking at buying a Gear4 Band but am worried it won't fit due to the slight move of the vibrate switch.

    Here it is...

    This isn't an iPhone circle jerk thread CygnusZero4 (if that IS your real name), I just wanna buy a case for my phone (it's gotta last me two years) and don't wanna waste my money maaaan, that is all.

    why not goto a store that has a wall full of cases and decide at the store what suits you best. asking online on a new product that i would say most people wont purchase as they might own a iPhone 4 already.

    the amount of choice for this one product is insane but really it is just colour as the molds are relatively the same with slight texture differences.

    you yourself are the only one who can decide what you like, as you are the one holding your device.

    if you drop your phone there isnt any case that will protect it fully. if you dont have the gme to go and check the stores yourself, dont complain that you are here for advice when you can easily walk to any store and see the new products yourself.

      then what are you asking? wouldnt going to a store solve your question?epill2/2

    From my experience you can't try the cases on instore, and the places I've been to (Carphone warehouse, PC World, Orange, 3, Maplins, O2) all have a shite selection. So I've tried that.

    Not asking for advice on which case to choose, asking if anyone's had any experience of buying a case for the 4S, specifically a case made for the iPhone 4.

    if you are stating that the exterior specs of the 4S is different with different opening placements and button arrangement, why would anyone use a case that match its shape?

    your question about asking online advice about something i doubt anyone does.. by using different cases for the phone they have..

    why would anyone purchase a case that doesnt fit their phone and then advise others to get that same mistake??

    • The button change is very subtle. Most cases for iPhone 4 will work with iPhone 4sCyBrainX

    Should have stated in the original post about buying a 4 case for a 4S, my bad.

    This is why I'm asking.

    – Got a new phone.
    – Need a case.
    – Not many nice cases for 4S at the moment.
    – In the meantime my phone is vulnerable to being dropped, gotta use it for 2 years so don't want it damaged.
    – Loads of nice 4 cases.
    – Only difference between the 4 and 4S is the vibrate switch has moved a few mm.
    – Wondered if anyone had a 4 case on their 4S.

    Pretty straightforward really, and I don't think people using a case designed for the 4 on their 4S is too far fetched.

    • did apple not offer you a free case when you purchased you 4S?epill1/3
      No free case for me!Jimbo822/3
      thats insane.. call the store and demand the free case.. they need to offer that.epill3/3

    if you are searching for a molded case, and your hole openings do not match as you stated the vibrate switch is in a different position, then wait til product hits the stores in a few months as the case will not fit your phone, you would wasting money.. not a few millimeters on a PP or Rubberized case.. well cant you just cut out the new shape to fit??

    if you have a white iphone, the dimentions are a bit different with the special coating. my case just barely fits on my white phone. and there still may be some issues with products not only fitting the white iphone4s, but also the white 4s.

    Got it a day before the iPhone 4s and love it. Had the 3Gs version of it for 2+ years and held up great.
