llamason56 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 that's kinda cool. don't 4S cases fit the 4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrocks Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 they should, 4 cases fit the 4s edit: although the buttons may be in different places since the 4 had two actual different phones (verizon and att) and i think there is just one 4s model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezfools Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Awfully spendy. We need to come up with a way to do this DIY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyseancore Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 heh, i was going to post "hey, third man makes these too". thankfully i clicked the link before i did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushbacktosquare Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Stupid question... but can these warp? Assuming you were to leave your iPhone in your car on a hot day... aren't these cases prone to warping and giving the case itself a stupid shape?

mcpherson123 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Maybe its just because I don't have an iPhone but I can't help but feel like this is a waste of the vinyl. Not to be all Negative Nancy over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 you could do these DIY youd just need the band and you could cut your own 7" into the shape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezfools Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 well, yeah, but that would be too easy and still cost. I'd like to do this all on my own. I actually work with a plastics company and am going to look into this tomorrow, lol. It would be cool to see if I can build a mold, heat it up to wrap the phone and click on somehow. I'll post back with anything I learn tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be all Negative Nancy over here. No. I totally agree over here. But I suppose TMR has made enough monies to do this and it not matter to them.

otto802 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I have a junk iPhone I may try to use as a template/mold to make something like this. Seems like you could cut up an old record to about the right size and use a hairdryer to bend it to the right form without melting the iPhone. I'm on a 3gs still.

deafmx Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I might grab one from Vling. I do need a 4S case badly and the price is pretty reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mellietronx Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Will they make them for ipads? My mind has been blown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trifornais Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 um, yeah: http://vling.bigcartel.com/product/iphone-4-case I think Vling had the first ones I'd seen/heard of. Support them instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alangrey Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I might grab one from Vling. I do need a 4S case badly and the price is pretty reasonable.The vling one won't fit the 4s. The 4s silence button is much closer the the volume up button than the 4. Just a heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serum7 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I just bought my wife a 4S and holy fuck cool cases cost a lot! $30 isn't much to protect something that retails for $500+. These look nice now but give them a couple of weeks and the vinyl will look pretty beat up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
