iPhone4 cases

Since I had the iPhone4 I was really worried about how to protect the beautiful glass-aluminium device. Then, I went to a store that provide me any case I could need for it, and I have tried three of them, open, semi-open and close cases.
So, here there are some of the cases, what I think about their functionality and if they really work well for the daily needs.


Open cases
Advantages:
   - almost full protection when not using it
   - friendly ports when using it
   - not bulky, so gets its beautiful shape
   - easy slip
   - prevents from scratches over surfaces
Disadvantages:
   - no protection when using it
   - no protection on the top of it when it's not in use
   - only can used one of the ports when it's inside the case
      (or listening to music, or charging)


                Conclusion: Recommended
                                    *****


                                                      Semi-open cases
Advantages:
   - almost full protection when not using it

   - friendly ports when using it
      (with Bumper only can be used the Apple plug to charge)
   - not very bulky
   - pretty easy slip
   - prevents scratches over surfaces because of the 2mm case
Disadvantages:
   - no back nor front fully protection
   - some people has realised that it scratches a bit of the aluminium
     (in my case it have not)
 

Conclusion: Recommended
      *****


                                                      Close cases
                                                      Advantages:
   - back protection
   - friendly ports (headphones minijack, 30-pin dock connector, mic)
   - some are not bulky (thick plastic)
   - easy slip
   - transparent
Disadvantages:
   - when making a picture with flash it gets blur and upper lighted
      (very bad!)
   - non aluminum protection
     - some are made of rubber, so it gets difficult to get out of pockets
   - some are made of very robust material, it makes it bulky


Conclusion: Not quite recommended
  *****



Other protections 
Advantages:
   - full screen protection from scratches
Disadvantages:
   - some of them get finger prints which original screen does not


 
                    Conclusion: Very recommended
                                        *****
