A DIFFerent case for the serious iPhone photographer

I’m always on the watch for a new case idea. The problem being is that I like the portability of the iPhone without a case, but like the features of many of the specialty cases. The Survivor from Griffin Technology is the case I use when I might be someplace the iPhone will get handled roughly. It does bulk up the iPhone 4 a lot though.

New to me is the Diff Case. The case is less about drop protect, which it does, rather it is more about protecting the faces and being able to mount your iPhone to a tripod. The Diff Case is currently $30, available directly from the manufacture.

The main ‘features’ of the Diff case is the doors that cover the flat sides of the iPhone 4, which can be opened tall or wide, and has a opening for the camera to work with the case still on. The two tripod mounts make it easy to set up for still or long exposure photographs.


20% off serious iPhone protection – This weekend only!

I have had a Survivor case for my iPhone 4 since it came out from Griffin Technology. I don’t use it much during the summer around the office, but it is a must have for the winter or when I travel. Now on my iPhone 4s, the case protected my iPhone 4 last winter when I dropped the phone twice getting out of the car and once when I slipped and ejected everything in my hands skyward.

The case completely covers the iPhone with little doors over things you need to get to or nubs that allow you to push buttons through the rubbery outside. It means an extra step to take a picture to uncover the camera lens… putting up with that in exchange to not have to buy another iPhone when the inevitable drop happens.

I thought I would pass on a link that I just received in an email for 20% off the case. It isn’t a cheap case, but this is a great example of you get what you pay for (they offer other colors than the black I chose too).
