Hey all, I’m looking into a new case for my iPhone 4. Currently, I have the Element Case Vapor Pro, and I like it, but I’d like something that provides more impact protection.
I’m interested in the iPhone 4 case from Magpul. Does anyone have this case or have experience with it? The price point is certainly a plus. Also, any other recommendations for your favorite iPhone case are welcome. Thanks!
I like the otterbox defender. It’s not waterproof but does a great job otherwise. They have waterproof cases but not practical for myself and my EDC use. Less than 30 dollars on eBay or amazon
Go Seahawks!
I had the magpul on my 4s and bought 2 new ones when I upgraded to the bigger 5s. It’s just about the only case I use. It walks the line between protection and minimal bulk quite nicely, and it does have the lip around the edge of the screen so you can put it face down on a surface without scratching the glass. While it may not save the day like a defender if I drop it from head height onto concrete, it gives me just enough coverage while still being easy to slip into my pocket. I’ll still put it in an otterbox if I’m spending the weekend in the woods or the like, but 95% of the time it sits in the field case. Plus, they cost about half the price of any other “cheapie” case at wallyworld, so buy a couple colors and call it a day.

My last two work phones have been iPhone 4’s. I’ve used the same Magpul Executive case. I’ve dropped it from about 4 feet several times with no problems.
I did have to trim out the bottom opening to accommodate an aftermarket charger.

Another big thumbs up for the Magpul Executive case for the iPhone 4. We have been using them for most of this year and are really pleased. Cheap, durable, and USA-made. Not sure when we will be migrating to a different iPhone model, but planning on getting new cases if needed. I think they run about $10 or so on Amazon. Looks like they have flashier colors now, too.
I have been using the Magpul case & Zagg Invisi-Shield on both my Iphone 4 and Iphone 5. Can’t say enough good things about that combination.
Dropped my Iphone 5 getting our of my truck when I was getting out. After it finished bouncing/tumbling in the parking a few times, no damage was found
I had one for my 3GS and I would just toss it because I trusted it that much. Now I have one on my 5 and am almost as comfortable with it. I know that it will take just about anything g within reson and it doesn’t break the bank.
I dig it, been sporting them two years. Like Stoner said “It walks the line between protection and minimal bulk”. Slides in and out of your pocket just fine and does not interfere with screen savers.
I had one for two years on my 3GS, and now have one on my 5. Can’t say enough good things about them. Best phone case you can get for $10 IMHO. I got the clear one this time, pretty spiffy.
I have one on my iPhone 5. It’s a very high quality case! I like that it’s protective but not too bulky. I don’t like putting big blocky cases on phones designed to be slim. It is streamlined, but protects the phone plenty for my purposes.
Plus, it’s made in Boulder, Colorado! Made in the USA is a big bonus especially considering the relatively low price. I would highly recommend their cases.

I just ordered one (black) for my new 5s (space gray). I put a Zagg Invisible Shield screen protector on it last night. Love the minimalist yet slightly tactical look of the Magpul case.
I have the field case for the 4s (which is the same as for the 4). It’s great. Cheap, material feels really solid and grippy. And I’ve dropped my phone several times from waist to chest height so far, no damage to the case or the phone. (It landed on a laminated wood floor)
I used the Otterbox Defender for about two years. It’s so rugged..my phone is practaiclaly brand new still. The rubber on the outside is good and bad…good that I could pretty much drive with the phone on my dash and it won’t slip…but then its kinda awkward to stick in your pockets, because its so grippy.
The case finally died after a season of snowboarding with it..clips breaking, the rubber snapping…it was a truly great case…droppped the phone MANY times on concrete. I believe if I go for a new case it’ll be the Otterbox Communter or Magpul you are talking about…both similar in my eyes…not as bombproof as the defender, but more than good enough.
(right now my phone is naked btw)
