14.01.2011
Last week, the formidable (CES) ravaged the Las Vegas Convention Center, leaving behind a devastating trail of cutting-edge consumer electronics...and a whole lot of new iPhone 4 cases. Fortunately, we're here to pick up the scattered pieces and neatly arrange them for your convenient digestion. As you can see, there's no shortage of new iPhone 4 cases on the market--and this roundup doesn't even take into account the recent flurry of cases for the . (Yes, the Verizon iPhone 4 will --we'll cover those in the near future.)

BaseOneLabs's ($25) is, according to the company, "quite possibly the toughest bumper case available for the iPhone 4." The super-dense, shock-absorbent case features a 360-degree raised lip around the front and back to protect your iPhone from face-down and face-up falls. If you want proof of this case's abilities, check out the company's Website for a video of a guy dropping his Impactband-encased iPhone off a pretty high ledge onto the concrete below.

($35) is, like the rest of the company's cases, made of biodegradable and environmentally friendly materials--the "bioplastic" is based on plant material. Along with providing impact and scratch protection for your phone, the Bioserie case also boasts a specially designed opening for the phone's flash that claims to prevent hues and unwanted coloring during flash photography.

Despite it's rather depressing name, Bluetrek's series of cases ($27 each) sport some rather uplifting graphics. The 1mm-thin, hardshell cases are built from lightweight, "2H Scratch-resistant," recyclable plastic and feature artwork by French artist Aurele, who's responsible for The LostDog's namesake.
