New update is out. Seems like a speakerphone fix.

Anyone able to recommend an actual real aluminum case for the iPhone 4S?

Everything I find is actually just plastic made to look like aluminum.

So I had to have my 5 replaced due to the lock button being very finicky. I think it may have been the case because it covered the lock button and may have messed it up.

So I've been rocking the new one naked, and the phone just feels amazing. But I'm really scared of dropping it.

I want to get a case, but I prefer the soft cases. Seems like most of the cases for the 5 are hard shell cases. I also want a themed case with one of my sports teams on it, but most of the ones I've found are of the hard shell variety.

I've got quite a conundrum.

I don't have a case and I've dropped my phone several times and had no problems. The lack of glass on both sides really helps. I have Apple Care, so if I break it, I'll pay the $50 to get it fixed and then I may rock a case again. But until that day, the no case feeling is too great to give up.

How/why do people drop their phone so often? In the several years I've had iPhones (3 and now the 4S), I've dropped it ONCE. It was the 3 as I was getting out of my car, and other than a very small chip on the side, it was fine.

I've never used a case. Hate the unnecessary bulk, and the experience of using the phone is just so much better without one.

I don't have an iPhone, but an iPod Touch... I've dropped in my face (only counting this generation's iPod) probably 15 times. When I'm lying in bed, playing a game or something on it, my finger's sometimes betray me while I'm swiping or clicking on something and I fumble it and usually it just smacks me in the face. I actually cut the bridge of my nose once because it turned sideways, instead of falling straight down.

I do not use a protective case on it - but that metal is pretty sharp and kind of hurts, I can tell you that.
