Need An iPhone 4 Case? Got A Penny?

Posted on 31 August 2010 by


Got a new iPhone 4 but no case yet?  Or still using the iPhone 3G/3Gs and want to change thing up?  Here’s a deal that’s hard to pass up.

Default Cases is a start-up iPhone case company looking to make a name for themselves.  Instead of investing a ton of money on advertising they’ve decided to take their advertising budget and throw it towards the consumer instead.  The company is offering their iPhone 4 and 3G/3Gs cases, which come in 6 distinct colors, for only 1 penny.  Their goal is to get their new cases into the hands of as many real users as possible and let word of mouth do the rest.

Yes, you ready correctly.  One cent.  The iPhone 4 case, which is a snap on back cover is fully perforated.  Default Cases says this is to help with reception as it allows as much of the phone’s cellular signal to pass through.    The case is slim enough to work in conjunction with most docks and has a cutout for the headset jack that will accommodate most  any headphones.

The 3G/3Gs version is the more traditional snap on back cover style case that many of us are used to.

So if you’re in need of a case for your iPhone 4, or simply just love a great deal, head to the Default Cases web site and grab yourself one.

    Hmm, tempting, but ultimately all those holes just look like lint pockets to me. I already have enough cruft gather in the slots on the sides of my iFrogz Luxe Lean case. I tend to doubt that the plastic cases block much reception to speak of, either.
