About your iphone case...

14 years ago

I had a Speck case for my iPhone, which I liked a lot. When it got old and grungy this summer, I ordered a new one, almost the same exact thing (or so I thought) but in a different color. We have several chargers in our house for our iPhones, but they are all after-market chargers. Who knows what happened to our original chargers. I have one Apple charger in my car, which is great.

The problem is that with my new case, the chargers that we use in our house do not fit into my phone unless I remove the case every time, which is a pain. I can still fit my car charger.

So, I need a new case. If you have a case that you like, and you're able to use generic (non Apple) chargers with it, can you tell me about it?

Thanks!

    Mine doesn't have a name on it but I've been happy with it. I puchased it at a KIOSK in the mall. It is one piece hard but flexible, snaps in and out easily. It has a smooth shiny finish so it doesn't stick when you put it in your pocket. It looks a lot like this one.
    I also purchased a case called the Mophie juice pack plus. It's a case that also works as a charger. It doubles the battery time. It's expensive but worth it, to me anyway. If you went for the Mophie, I'd get it from the Mophie website, the first one I bought was cheaper from an off site and it turned out to be counterfeit.

    I have an Android phone and have always bought my cases from Amazon based on reviews there. The one that I currently have is made by Cimo. They also make iPhone cases.

    I've never used a case on my iphone, just a skin. I must be easy on phones, I've never scratched or dropped it. (KNOCK ON WOOD!!!) I'm able to charge with the skin on.

    My husband uses an otterbox case on his iphone and is able to charge without taking it off also.

    I love my Scosche case. I can use any charger with it and it is bullet proof. It cleans easily too. Just make sure you get the right case for your phone.

    Otterbox only if you might drop it in water.

    Belkin Grip Vue for everyday. I have dropped my iphone from shoulder height onto a concrete warehouse floor more times than I care to admit and nary a scratch on it. I got mine at Wally World, about the same price as the one in the link. I have the clear one, but it comes in other colors.

    I'm telling you it is the best bar none!

    Otterbox, Defender. Great protection, bar none, but bulky. Highly recommend for performance and protection. Can charge with my OEM charger w/o removing.

    There's a slimmer version called Commuter.

    Though the new iPhone 5 and iPad Mini are not yet published, related cases and covers have emerged in the market, after all, this cost is not high, many manufacturers are based on rumors to design and manufacture the new iPhone cases /iphone 5 cases and new iPad cases covers/ipad 3 case covers. Such as Jisoncase.

    DH and I both have Sena leather cases, his in brown and mine in lime green. This is almost what we have, but some of the cut outs don't look exactly right. (And the one pictured here only comes in a crocodile). Ours were $60 each and have been long lasting and well worth the expense.

    Our kids all have iphones and use the otterbox. I am not that hard on my phone and don't see the point in adding 25% to its already large dimensions.

    I have been using vaja cases. I just ordered the third one. It was a stock item, so it was cheaper and I liked the color. I really like them, however, this last one, in the color I got, is showing signs of being worn, although I still like the functionality of it. I think I will look into the Sena cases that kwsl posted about.

    My son has an otterbox for his iphone.

    Thanks everyone! I ended up picking up a case from a stationery store yesterday, total impulse purchase but so far it seems like it will do the job.

    I just purchased Otterbox Defender cases - one for DD1 and one for me. I didn't like the one I had purchased at the Apple store. She shattered her iPhone screen last week, and it was time for an upgrade. I thought the case would be bulky and I wouldn't like, but I LOVE it. Easy to hold. No way the screen or phone can get broken if dropped. It has a screen cover I thought would be hard to use or get used to - nothing further from the truth. MUCH better than the screen saver sleeve I had to keep replacing (also purchased at Apple store).

    I went to Best Buy to upgrade her since I get rewards dollars back. Had $90 in Best Buy rewards dollars. Another $40 in Shopkick dollars. 1 new iPhone and 2 Otterbox cases cost me less than $100.

    here is a link to the cases we bought. They have a smaller one. I threw away the belt clip:

    I just bought the iPhone 5 after my old iPhone developed psychosis. It started calling everyone on my contact list all by itself. Over and over and over.

    The new iPhone 5 seems fragile. It is thinner and a bit larger. I popped for an otter box for it before I left the store. I didn't buy the insurance because I bought the otter. Love the design on it.
