I just got my Verizon iPhone 4 and was a little concerned that the button holes would not line up properly (since they are different between VZ and ATT's version of the iPhone). I was pleasantly surprised that all was well. The case if very unobtrusive. The name says it all..."barely there". Love this case. Case-Mate Barely There Case (Black) for iPhone 4
This is case #2 for my hubby! We had one for the 3GS and had to get another for the new 4G iphone. It definitely made a difference in reception! We like the "barely there" effects on our phones instead of the thicker cases. It is an awesome case and looks very nice too!
I must say I am plesantly suprised with this item. It fits perfectly on the iPhone 4 and looks very nice. I am not sure if it provides any great protection due to its thin layer but its def one of the best cases out there without any of the bulk.
The case has a minimalist design which doesn't detract from the beauty of the phone. That I like. But the edges don't even come up to the level of the glass screen. They should at least slightly clip over the edges of the glass. The corners are not completely protected. The case is so thin that I doubt there would be any shock resistance protection of the phone. The screen protector is a disappointment. The sticker which you are supposed to peel off after getting the protector positioned left most of its adhesive behind, and it was a bit hard to remove even with a citrus-based goo remover and left some small scrathces behind. Most of the bubbles could be rubbed out with the microfiber cloth supplied, but small ones remain. The harder you rub to smooth the bubbles the more the cloth actually abraided the plastic protector. Personally, I would not recommend it, but that's just me.
I started with the Apple Bumpers on my i4, but they ended up not being quite right for me. Many of my charging cables no longer fit. Plugging an aux cable into the iPhone in my car was problematic. And then I saw the Barely There case on a friend's i4 and I was sold. These are exactly what I wanted. Thank you!
I owned three iPhone 4 cases, a Sonix slim fit and a Belkin see through case, while they're both great none of them can be compared this one. The build quality and skin tight fit of this case is so good that it feels like it's a part of the phone which really improve the handling and user experience. This is Case Mate is now my current case and I have since given the other two cases away since I no longer need them.
Look, I have bought lots of cases from the iPhone 3G, 3GS and a couple for the iPhone 4. This is by and far the best. I don't want to flower this up by sounding like I am defending flaws. There are none. "Barely There" should be trademarked for this thing (despite descriptiveness).
For $21, give it a shot. Return it if you don't like it. You'll like it.
The only good thing with this case is that you have the option of uploading your own design at the direct website. This case doesn't protect the iPhone from anything, it's super thin plastic that doesn't even protect the edges. The screen protector is impossible to put on without getting crap on it, since it's so static-y that it attracts every particle of dust in the air. RETURNING IMMEDIATELY. AWFUL. - Screen Protector'
