10 Best Hard Cases For iPhone 4

As our iPhones are so precious to us, it is worth investing in something pretty solid to protect them from the world’s extremities. Sure, a fancy rubber case may look cool, but will it really help your iPhone survive a 3-foot drop out of a taxi after you have had one to many on a Friday night? Here’s a list of the ten best hard cases for the iPhone 4 that we compiled, just for you.

1. Aluminum Shell Case with Leather Hand Strap for iPhone 4 (Black)

If you fancy a tough case that you can swing your iPhone around in, then this one is the best bet. As it is constructed from light aluminium metal it has a very cool touch while not being too slippy as to slide off your hand. The inside is lined with felt so you won’t scratch your iPhone as you tuck it safely away.

This case is a cool blue colour which will help you find your iPhone when you are rooting about in your bag in the dark; it offers a really resilient protection due to its silicone layered inside and tough polycarbonate exterior. This case looks trendy and will definitely protect your iPhone from even the most violent of drops.

3. OtterBox Commuter Series Case for iPhone 4 (Hot Pink Plastic with White Silicone)

The hot pink plastic case may not be to everybody’s taste, but for those bold enough to try it out, this case will protect your iPhone at the same time as being very smooth to the touch and pretty fashionable as well! It comes with a free LCD Front Screen Protector which will make sure your screen gets no scratches on it; a brave purchase, but well worth it.

4. iPhone 4 Metallic Glider Case – Black

If you want a case that allows you to use all of the iPhone’s functionalities, (camera, screen, volume control, etc.), at the same time as protecting it from scratches, dents and bumps then this case might not be a bad bet. The Metallic Glide Case has a very lightweight design that means it is not too heavy in your pocket or your bag, but still offers decent protection if dropped.

5. iPhone 4 Gradient Case – Blue

The iPhone 4 Gradient Case’s blue finish has a beautiful fade that elevates it above the colour of any other cases that I have seen; it’s subtle, charming and is really easy on the eye. But it’s not all about the colour; the case gives decent protection against any accidents that should become of your iPhone and offers a good grip to keep the iPhone in your hand; all in all, a bit of a winner.

EcoDSIGN is a very modern company in the sense that it is environmentally aware of its carbon footprint, making all of their cases from environment-friendly material, as well as making them look cool in the process!

8. iPhone 4 Luxe Original

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. That’s the philosophy of the iPhone 4 Luxe Original that has spawned a lot of imitators in the same range but we like its simple, effective metallic casing and soft, velvety feel. Simple, but very effective.
