I just collected my iPhone 4 a few days back when I got a call at work to notify me about the collection. I rushed down straight after work at 6 because I was told “if you don’t collect it by today, you would have to reserve it again and wait for another week or so”. Thanks so much for giving me only 5 hours advance notification for collection.
Putting that aside, since this was my first Apple product (no, I do not have a Macbook, iPod nor iPad), I got to say I’m very impressed. =D To summarise, it’s sleek, heavy and I absolutely love the apps!
I went to work with the naked phone on day 1 without any screen protectors or casing. It feels so fragile and it’s tiring to constantly pay extra attention to it. Even my colleagues advised me to get some kind of clothings for it, like a screen protector and a casing to prevent scratches. I was getting annoyed with the fingerprints on the screen as well. Hence, I went case hunting with Chewy yesterday and ended up with the Power Support Anti-Glare Film Set and Incipio Ultra Light feather Casing in Pink.

Let’s start with the screen protectors. Just to note, I didn’t do any prior research on the screen protectors. The Power Support Anti-Glare Film Set caught my attention because of the “Made in Japan” sticker on it. I firmly believe that most products manufactured in Japan have pretty good quality due to the strict quality control. The price tag was quite steep at SGD 39 for a screen protector but it was after I bought it that I realised it comes with 2 pieces for the front and another for the back. So, it’s about SGD 19.50 for each which is quite worth it in my opinion because it’s really minimises the glare and fingerprints! Although it’s still quite prone to oil smudges but that’s still not a big issue for me. I love how the screen looks so matte now.
Apparently this particular screen protector has got very good reviews online too.

There are at least 1001 different types and designs of casings for the iPhones. I felt in love with the customised Bamboo iPhone cases from Grove I tweeted about a few days back. But I couldn’t bring myself to spend over USD 100 on just the casing now so I settled for a plain simple pink Incipio snap-on case at SGD 28. It feels good to the touch, rubbery although it’s plastic. I have a weird dislike for anything that is too bulky, made of hard plastic and shiny. It does not offer much protection on the front though since it doesn’t have a “bumper” covering the sides of the glass. Someday, I’m going to get one of the Grove’s cases.
