Hi All,

I am looking for a good looking slim iPhone 4 case. I am interested in wood, leather, and other materials..not interested in shiny plastic or anything that looks cheap. What do you guys recommend?


I know I am the very first one to ask this sort of question so please feel free to remind me of this fact throughout the thread.


Thanks in advance!

Get the Louis Vuitton one. It's cheap, the monogram is classic and timeless. Make sure you go buy it in the morning so you can carry the LV bag around for the rest of the day.

Why by a case? They are often a pain ********** and you probably end up not using it. The Iphone 4 is pretty damn hard to damage/scratch. I have dropped mine multiple times and there is no real evidence. Plus the Iphone 4 is sexy the way it is. I would just recommend learning to take care of your phone. Trust me ever since I ran over my Iphone 3 with a lawn mower I learned how to keep it safe.

I have an Elago SF case and it is pretty slim. It doesn't add much bulk at all.

The Elago doesn't look that cheap but if you want something more substantial get a Vapor bumper.

and covering it up with plastic, wood, or leather makes if feel more expensive? Does not sound very logical.

That case looks great...I just want that in something other than a rubberized material so it comes out of my pocket easily.

The iPhone feels cheap...what is nicer a plastic steering wheel or a plastic steering wheel covered with leather and wood?

The Elago isn't rubberized, it is more matte plastic but doesn't look cheap like the shiny ones you find in the mall stalls. Not bad for $10 but the Vapor bumper is best one I've seen.
