I have been a long time user of the original iSkin Revo for the first iPhone for about 2 years, and that case has been thru so much and kept my iPhone safe and sound for such a long time. It's amazing how after that much time, the Revo held up so well it could have served me for many more years. And now we have the new iSkin Revo4 case for the iPhone 4. This case is one of my favorite cases of all time for the iPhone, and the iPhone 4 version is just as good as past generations. The Revo4 is a very tough silicone case that offers complete protection for your iPhone 4.
Iv'e always been a big fan of Case-Mate's Hybrid Tough cases for the iPhone, and now we have the popular Tough case for the iPhone 4. The Tough case does not disappoint in it's tough name, this is one tough case for the iPhone 4. The Tough case is a two part hybrid case that consists of a hard ABS plastic shell and a soft thin silicone skin to absorb shock. With these two materials combined, you get some awesome protection from drops and bumps. You would think that this case would add a lot of bulk to your iPhone but it really does not. Because of the thin silicone layer, the Tough case is about 1/2 of an inch thick and you really get a pretty non-bulky case that provides some great protection. Installation is so easy that it will take you a few seconds to put on the Tough case on your iPhone 4. And once it's on, you immediately feel that extra tough protection and security that was just added to your iPhone.
Not only does the Tough case pack some serious protection, it looks pretty futuristic with it's back pattern. You will notice that it has this texture on the hard ABD plastic shell, which provides outstanding grip. This matte hard shell also feels very smooth and soft to the touch. There is a very nice lip on the the screen from the silicone rim which provides a great lay-on-the-table design. Ports are all easily accessible. The sleep/wake and volume buttons are covered by the silicone layer and are very responsive. The camera cutout is nicely cut and does not affect the flash. The bottom part of the Tough case is also nicely cut to easily fit 3rd party sync connectors.
You can use any back skin or decal with the Tough case without any issues. The back of the Tough case does not attract any lint but the silicone parts can attract some. The only issue I came across was that the bottom piece of the silicone under the home button is a bit flimsy, and that's because of the thinness of the silicone layer. However this should not affect your everyday use. Case-Mate includes a decent clear screen protector which is a nice addition to have especially when you don'y already have one. I would highly recommend the Tough case. Available in black, gray and white. Price $34.99.
The DermaShot by Incipio for the iPad is a great and sleek looking silicone case with perfect curves and cuts. The DermaShot has the same exact look and construction as the 1337 iPad case by Incipio minus the added gaming grips. One big con to the DermaShot is it's very flimsy around the edges. Every time you would place your fingers on top of iPad's bezel with the DermaShot on, the edges will peel back making it very uncomfortable and annoying. The silicone is very soft and grippy and will not attract much lint. The DermaShot has the honeycomb-like insides to help keep itself very lightweight and with a thin form factor, allowing your iPad to be used with most carrying cases. Other than being a very flimsy silicone around the iPad's bezel, the DermaShot is a very comfortable case to hold with fantastic cutouts for all the ports and covered buttons. The Incipio DermaShot provides excellent scratch protection as well as minor drop and impact protection. The DermaShot is available in four colors and comes with a clear screen protector as well as a cleaning cloth. Price $34.99.
