Griffin launch iPhone 4 protective case range

We all want to keep our freshly bought gadgets in tip-top condition, but when the CEO of Apple starts saying you should buy a case for your iPhone 4 to help with signalling issues, you start to wonder if there’s some massive accessory conspiracy ticking under the radar.

Still, at least Griffin’s cases are always tasteful, and this latest range of iPhone 4 gear is no exception.

Girffin’s Elan Passport Wallet is a bit of a jack of all trades. Featuring a microsuede lining to protect the smartphone from bumps and scrapes, it’s folio style hinge reveals a handful of compartments for holding your credit and business cards. The Elan Passport Wallet costs £29.99 and is available in black from O2 or platinum from Phones 4 You.

If you’re after something a little simpler, try out their Reveal cover. It’s a polycarbonate shell that clasps onto the phone to help it avoid scuffs and scratches. It also features a this rubber lining that should give the iPhone 4 some much needed shock-absorption should you drop it from a reasonable height. The Reveal costs £19.99 and is available from the Carphone Warehouse.
