Reveal iPhone 4G - Black/Clear

Most people will get a front (face) protector for their iPhone 4. Mine is the expensive, though highly acclaimed invisibleSHEILD by Zagg. I'd imagine most face protectors would offer the same area of coverage, meaning they go right up to the edge of the glass but not further. This is where the Griffin Reveal's flaws start showing. The rubber rim isn't long enough. It should go out another 1/16", or at least another millimeter around the edges. Because it doesn't go out any further on the face it is in constant conflict with the face protector, causing it to bubble and attract pocket lint. Other than that, I like the added back protection. I'll say, however, that if I find an alternative phone bumper that offers protection for the back of the phone and doesn't conflict with the screen protector (i.e. extends out onto the face just a millimeter more) I'd ditch this one for it!

I also liked the case at first because it doesn't interfere with the phone's aesthetics and fits very nicely, but I agree with Bonnie that the clear back creates an issue with the flash--it's ruined plenty of photos for me. The case also scratches too easily. I've only been using the case for three weeks and the clear back is already covered in scratches. Maybe this is what I should have expected from clear plastic, but part of the reason I wanted a case is to avoid unsightly scratches and fingerprints and I expected it to hold up a bit longer than three weeks.

I loooved the concept of this case at first. Clear back, protects it but I have two problems with it. The biggest problem I have faced is the fact that having a clear back, when taking a photo with the flash, because of the clear plastic and the flash bouncing off it doesn't take a correct picture. The only other problem I see is that I have the sky dock in my car for sirius/xm and it doesn't sit right in the dock and is useless. I now have an iphone "bumper" on and I like it but I am still having the same dock problem in my car. I recommend the ifrogz cover. The bottom is exposed and the camera functions perfectly!
