A slim silhouette enhances the overall aesthetic of the iPhone 4 / 4S. The one-piece, impact resistant hard shell covers the back and sides, while protecting against impacts and falls. The smooth finish makes it simple to slide the iPhone 4 / 4S in and out of pockets.
Why would the clear armor not work with this case?
Clear Armor can be used on the front of the device only when the Barely There case is also used. Clear Armor cannot be used on the back as the case will not fit or install/uninstall properly, potentially damaging the Clear Armor or the Barely There if used together.
If I drop my iPhone 4 will the Barely There Case protect it? Do you guarantee my phone won't be damaged?
While the iPhone 4 Barely There Case provides some protection, any time an iPhone 4 is dropped there is risk of damage or cracking. Case-mate is not liable for any damages arising from the use of this product.
will barely there case work with docks, also can you recommend a horizontal holster
Great question! You will need to remove your Barely There case when connecting your device to a docking station. We currently do not have a case a docking station will support.
Is the front glass protected so that if laid on a flat surface, only the case would touch, not the glass of the iPhone?
The Barely There case covers the aluminum antenna trim of the device. If you lay the iPhone 4 down on a flat surface, the glass will touch the surface.
Does the case allow for the phone to stand on its sides with the case installed?
Your iPhone 4 should be able to stand alone on its side with this case on this device.
Would this case fit with the "bumper" case Apple is selling? Do you make a case that would? Thanks!
The iPhone 4 Barely There Case is not designed to fit with any other case. You may risk damaging your device and your case(s) when using in a way that was not intended.
I bought an Apple bumper style cover but the cutout for the headphone jack was too small to accomodate my right-angle Shure headphone jack. None of your photos show the top of the case-- is the cutout large enough to accomodate larger headphone plugs? Thanks.
The Barely There Case is made to have all ports accessible.
will this case help with the grip of death connection issue?
Using the iPhone 4 Barely There Cases does resolve the signal issue (antenna problem) with the device.

Unhappy with this website. Ordered a white case and you shipped a Black one. Much easier to just go to a phone store and pick up. Now it's a hassle to contact you and ask for a white one. Delays expected.

Don't buy
The version I had a few years ago was great. The newer version terrible.

Another good Barely There case
I've used Barely There cases on a couple earlier phones, and really like that they have a slim silhouette while also offering good protection. My son just got his first iPhone, and wanted a case that showed off the phone while also protecting it, so I suggested this case. So far, so good. The only con was that he'd just had front and back screen protectors installed at the phone store, and this case pressed against the back protector, making it look like there was moisture trapped in between the case and protector even though there wasn't. We tried everything we could think of but nothing worked, and we eventually had to remove the rear screen protector. So, $15 wasted on that, but he's happy with the case, so I'm okay. Not thrilled, but okay.

Barely There Case Iphone 4/4s
Overall, this case is an excellent fit for the Iphone 4/4s. The soft touch is excellent feeling in hand and very slim profile makes it streamline in terms of looks for the Iphone.

The case starts chipping after awhile. Beware.
I have no qualms with the functionality of the case. It is perfect. The only thing is that the case starts chipping. I got a black one and it now looks like it has vitiligo with all the random white chips everywhere.

Not enough protection to prevent damage
I have dropped two iPhones facedown on cement with this case and it does not protect the edges of the glass front. Both times, the glass on the corners of the iPhone front chipped. While I like the slim profile of the case, it simply doesn't provide protection to prevent damage.
