This clever solution conceals the new iPhone 4's built-in antenna that captures more of the available wireless signal and clears the internal antenna of your new iPhone 4/4S in a crystal clear case. The result is a clear signal, especially in border areas—which translates to fewer dropped calls, wider coverage areas, and faster downloads when browsing through your cellular connection.
The world's thinnest polycarbonate case measures only 0.6mm on the back and added 0.8mm on the sides for clear coverage. Your iPhone 4 gets protection from real-world hazards, and the built-in antenna does its work providing full reception without any dropped calls.
iPhone 4/4S Reception Case™ includes both front and back Anti-Scratch Screen guard protectors. Screen guard provides multi-directional, crystal clear viewing and the highest anti-scratch level available on the market today.

Price Value Protection (Posted on 11/27/11)I never used a case for my iPhone until I got the new 4S. I decided to get a case that when I have it on would feel like noting is there. I purchased reception case based on a friend's recommendation and it's exactly what I wanted. A+ in both service and design.

Price Value Protection (Posted on 9/20/11)I have used one for about 10months. It is now scratched and cracked so I am just buying a new one. I dropped my iPhone 4 twice on Marble floor and more on regular wooden floor. The case is so thin but absorbed all shocks, and my iphone is still pristine. I am very happy about this super clear, ultra thin, very discrete case. I can't have any other cases. Thank you Ivy Skin!
Pros: Function, Quality

Protection (Posted on 11/30/10)This case is absolute perfect. It's super thin but protective. I dropped my iPhone yesterday with the reception case on it, it fully protected it even though it's super thin.
- Updated camera cut-out Review by sezerbaris
-
Protection (Posted on 11/30/10)The camera cut-out looks different from the picture on the site, so I called and they told me it's been updated to make sure the case wont interfere with the iPhone's camera. I took pictures with both flash and without flash, it works and the pictures are not effected by the case. A+ design.
- Elegant, minimal design Review by Bryan

Protection (Posted on 11/27/10)This is a very nice case, elegant and minimalistic. The phone looks good and one's grip on the phone feels more secure than without the case.

Protection (Posted on 10/13/10)Received this yesterday and am impressed. One tip, make sure your screen is COMPLETELY clean, I had a speck of debris which caused a tiny bubble, not noticeable unless the phone is off.

- Best Type Protector without a doubt ! Review by yoska
-
Protection (Posted on 10/6/10)The Ivyskin Reception Case has not only gotten so much attention from good review-ers, but it truly is the best 'this type of case' case there is out there. Incomparable with the rest really !
Others feel cheap, do not fit properly, scratch easily, and are just not as well built as the reception case, it surely does not have the quality of this case.
I am going to stick to the Ivyskin Reception Case for a long long time, and i am a person who swaps cases almost every week, only because i am very very very comfortable with this one !
Thanks Ivyskin, 15 dollars, seriously ? Amazing, best i've spent on my iphone ever.
-all the way from australia !-
- GREAT BUY Review by Benny All my reviews (1)

Protection (Posted on 10/6/10)Purchased this based on a recommendation from my friend. We think it really is a perfect slim clear case for iPhone 4. It ships with both front and back screen guards as well. Great buy.
- Barely there Review by Lucy.C

Protection (Posted on 9/23/10)Hands down the best case for iPhone 4. It's clear see thru case that's slim and crystal clear.
- Nice Product Review by Chad
-
Protection (Posted on 9/17/10)The case is awesome. I love it so far. The problem I have, and the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars, is the films for the front and back. They have a lot of air bubbles under them and the stickers left residue on the films. i tried rubbing and pressing the air bubbles out but it's just not working. I think I will take them off and try it without them for a while. I may order new films later if I see that I'm scratching my screen.
Comments form IvySkin> Posted Sep 17, 2010
" If you see residue then you have not completly remove the outer layer film from the screen guards. Please note that the screen guards have a protective film on them that needs to be removed after you install the screen guards on your iPhone 4. If you see bubble/sticker residue, then the film is still there and needs to be removed. "
- Just perfect Review by CMW All my reviews (1)
-
Protection (Posted on 9/11/10)Before I got my iphone4, I ordered and got myself the reception case.
Needed maximum protection for my iphone4 and was looking for a clear case cause I customized my phone with 24ct gold ;) So I needed to protect the gold and also not hide it.
I've dropped my iphone4 few times, and nothing has happened.
A pleased customer and I'm recommending to all my mates.
Can't wait to get hold of the new smart case 4 next.
- Nice Review by Jim

Protection (Posted on 9/9/10)I got iphone 4 last month and got this last week. I couldn't be more happy. It looks nice, it really is like not even having a case. I love it.

- Great case Review by PaulDC
-
Protection (Posted on 9/2/10)This really is a great looking case... best I've found so far. It doesn't hide the beauty of the iPhone 4, which is awesome. The holes line up much better than any other case I've tried.
- Arrived in the 'nick of time. Review by CVK from L.A.
-
Protection (Posted on 8/30/10)Got my Reception Case on Friday (8/27). At a party Saturday night (8/28) my iPhone got knocked from my hands and hit the concrete. Case cracked in the corner but no damage to my iPhone. It's still shiny and new (it's only a few days old).
Thank you Ivy Skin! Best $15 I've spent in a long time!
- very nice case Review by bogs
-
Protection (Posted on 8/26/10)I got myself and my wife iphone 4's... i tried the belkin case, and the bumpers provided by apple.. by far, this reception case is a lot better.. doesn't add bulk to the phone, and they show the sleek design of the iphone 4's..
- LOVE IT!!! Review by Gina
-
Protection (Posted on 8/24/10)I never write reviews, but I love this case so much I had to tell the world about it. People who see it argue with me that there is even a case on my phone so that proves it really allows Apple to showcase the iPhone 4's beautiful design. It allows me to slide my phone in and out of my pocket effortlessly and because of the low profile on the front it doesn't interrupt the contact from my clothing to the front screen which ensures that the finger prints are wiped clean every time (I did NOT apply the screen guards to the front or back so I could get the full benefit of the oil degrading glass). Price was well worth it. Buy this case. Period.
- Fast delivery and a great case Review by Sweden
-
Protection (Posted on 8/22/10)It is a very nice, slim case and it really protects your iphone 4 from scratches. The delivery took only 5 days to sweden.
- Quality Review by mikegfromfl
-
Protection (Posted on 8/21/10)This is THE perfect solution for folks who don't drop their phones. It maintains that sleek, thin look and feel of the iPhone4. As a bonus, it also covers the antenna sides for best reception. Awesome.
- Quality case Review by KPA
-
Protection (Posted on 8/20/10)I am very impressed with the quality of this case. Althoug it doesnt cost as much as their expensive cases, this does the gob " full reception now " and the quality is great. Slim clear shell, included screen guards are easy to apply although I had to remove and replace the back one but it's all good.
- Impeccable Review by JJ from FR
-
Protection (Posted on 8/18/10)Cette étui s'adapte parfaitement à l'iphone 4 et protège totalement les bords et la face postérieure (en verre). Il est translucide teinté en noir et reste très discret. Sa texture est très agréable : entre claire souple, il permet à l'iphone de ne pas glisser sur une surface lisse mais rentre sans problème dans la poche sans accrocher. Un très bon achat que je ne regrette pas et bien moins cher qu'un bumper d'Apple qui ne protège pas l'arrière du téléphone. J'ai bien reçu le protecteur d'écran qui est de qualité correcte et adapté à l'iphone 4. Livraison rapide en France
- Nice case at great price Review by Pemnip
-
Protection (Posted on 8/18/10)I saw this online and since it wasn't too expensive, I gave it a try. I was pleasantly surprised when I received it. Well designed, and the screen shields are great quality. Nice find.
- Great purchase Review by Zakk
-
Protection (Posted on 8/17/10)I bought this case to use temporarily until a different, glass screen case arrives. I was pleasantly surprised when I received it because it fits my iPhone 4 perfectly, feels "just right" in my hand, and allows me to keep my iPhone in my shirt pocket without adding bulk. I'm not sure how much, if any, shock-protection it provides, but I have not had any issues with it, specially that it comes with both front and back screen guards. I especially like the way the phone looks in this flat-black case and I can still see the apple's beautiful design and logo.
- Perfect iPhone 4 case Review by Ramsy
-
Protection (Posted on 8/17/10)This is the perfect tactile case for the iPhone 4. Does not add bulk but gives you a good grip on the phone, which I find to be very slippery without a case. Plus, this solves any antenna issue you may have. I love it!!!
- Almost there Review by SDM716
-
Protection (Posted on 8/13/10)I gave 5 stars because it is a great idea well executed at a price that is conscious of what people need. When mine arrived I put it right to work, I noticed that there was a little play on the side rails and I began to fixate.I put a little tape in as a filler and the problem was solved but the next day I noticed it. I cant tell if this before or after my fooling around with the fit. If you buy this case you will be very happy
- One of the best thin cases Review by Rob
-
Protection (Posted on 8/13/10)one of the best thin cases for the iPhone. Able to place it in the universal dock without having to remove it from the case.
Great price too!
- As described Review by Melissa
-
Protection (Posted on 8/12/10)It protects the back and sides with a hard crystal clear case and both screens get covered by protective film. Great product.
- very happy Review by iamme
-
Protection (Posted on 8/12/10)After having this case for about a week, I'm very pleased with it. It shipped very quickly- got it in about a week, and the quality is very good. As advertised, it's VERY thin, and doesn't hide the sexy aesthetics of the iPhone 4, which is what I was after. My only complaint would be the port at the bottom of the phone is not protected, but not a huge deal for such a minimalist case and it affords the use of aftermarket accessories without the need to remove the case. The included screen protectors are a nice addition to this very reasonably priced case. This is NOT a case you should consider if you're looking for protection against drops, but if you enjoy the minimalist look as I do, it's perfect.
- Nice case Review by JP All my reviews (1)
-
Protection (Posted on 8/12/10)The case itself is very nice, exactly as advertised. I guess I am the only one who has had problems with the screen guards - no instructions provided. I have requested another set of screen guards with instructions, as I want to try again.
- My iPhone looks like it should be in a James Bond flick!!! Review by JayeDee369
-
Protection (Posted on 8/11/10)This case is so slick and makes my phone look like a million bucks. I like the fact that it's thin and still displays the new revolutionary look of my phone. Got protection front and back and the price?!? Ridiculous!!! I can't believe this case was only $15, Great Case!
- Great Product Review by chad502ex
-
Protection (Posted on 8/11/10)Excellent iP4 case! I consider myself an iP4 accessory junky. I purchase just about any case that catches my eye. This case certainly is my favorite. Fits perfect, comes with screen and back laminates, the price is good, allows sync port connector/dock access, shows off the iP4 design,.. what more could a consumer ask for... well- maybe just translucent color choices...
Buy one- you'll be glad you did.
- Good case for it's value Review by Headhunter J
-
Protection (Posted on 8/10/10)Good case in general.
Pros: Clear, lightweight, thin, clean lines, holes line up very well
Cons: doesn't fit well if you have a Zagg Shield film - especially on the sides, the included front and back films are not very easy to install,
The reviews seem to indicate that there is good protection on the front and the fit is perfect but that's not my experience. It could be because of the Zagg shield (I have front, side, and back films on my phone.

Protection (Posted on 8/9/10)Exactly as advertised, it's super thin and got a nice coating on it. Its screen guards are easy to apply. Well worth $15

Protection (Posted on 8/9/10)At last the case shipped to my house! I ordered it back in July 20th. The case fits perfect, its smooth and nice to hold and touch. No reception problems, no dropped calls, no 3G browsing problems. 5 stars for sure!!!

Protection (Posted on 8/8/10)It's a nice case from every angle. I like this case a lot.
- Best Screen Protector Review by JamesT
-
Protection (Posted on 8/7/10)Great case, very thin keep phone still looking good with case on, the only bad thing is case leave open on bottom, plus it doesn't have any protection for front glass except the screen guards. if you drop it and it fall on front face you're doom! The screen protector for front and back are probably one much better than any other screen protector I've got for my phone. Good design no cut hole for proximity location which I like. Overall i would recommend this Item case with front and back protection.
- Even better than I expected! Review by iphone4case
-
Protection (Posted on 8/7/10)After reading reviews I ordered this case. Not because of the antenna issue, I am right handed so the antenna was not an issue for me.
I just wanted minimal protection without hiding my aluminum beauty on my iphone 4.
This case took nearly 1 week to get to to me, even though it said 3-5 days shipping.
This case is AWESOME! it's so thin, you can barely tell you have any case on the phone at all.
For anyone that wants just a little something without hiding the phone, Get this case.
I will recommend this case to everyone that has an iPhone 4.

Protection (Posted on 8/6/10)Took some time to ship, but aside from that, its a great case. It doesnt compromise the look of the iPhone 4.

Protection (Posted on 8/5/10)The case is very nicely designed in terms of appearance and how it maintains visibility of the iPhone styling. I've had no dropped calls while using it.
- Almost perfect Review by Macoloco
-
Protection (Posted on 8/5/10)Alright, I've read so many reviews for this case on here that I was sure it would be an AMAZING case. I was a bit disappointed, read on to find out why...
Pros: very slim, clear, perfect to the touch. I love the look and feel of the case. In that department its a very awesome case.
Cons: Back of the case is a fingerprint magnet.
This case is a great case, except for that con... overall I'm happy with it though.

Protection (Posted on 8/4/10)Minimal, clear, hard shell. Exactly what I was looking for. A++
- Great case but does not fit into Apple Dock well Review by Morfious
-
Protection (Posted on 8/4/10)The case itself is great. It feels wonderful and is quite secure on the phone. Reception is fine and no more dropped calls from holding the phone "wrong". My only issue is that it does NOT fit into either the Apple iPhone dock well or the universal dock with iPhone 4 adapters. I was hoping to get a case that could stay on 24/7 and be able to dock with my iHome and Apple dock. This case does not fit that bill well. 5 stars if it did.
- great for the money Review by KevinC
-
Protection (Posted on 8/4/10)Clean, simple nice to hold and touch. Best part, it doesnt have logo of the company all over it like other ones I see that blocks Apple's design. 5 Stars for sure!
- Slim and sleek Review by Rebeca.M

Protection (Posted on 8/4/10)Sleek and slim design. Two things I was looking for in a case.
- Best Case For The Money Review by LMS

Protection (Posted on 8/3/10)Perfect case for $15. It's slim, clear and comfortable in your hand and allows access to all controls. Great case!
- Excellent Performance and Value Review by VSoto
-
Protection (Posted on 8/3/10)I've had this case for 9 days now, and I'm very pleased with it.
The material is very nice - smooth, clear and not slippery; you can grip it quite easily. The build quality is excellent; all the holes line up perfectly and everything fits with great precision.
It increases your grip on the phone 4, and it makes the volume and lock buttons easier to find and use by touch alone. All the buttons are still very easy to use, you don't have to press hard.
Improves the reception of the iPhone 4 for sure.
The screen protectors are also excellent, it has remained clear, smooth and very well attached. It does not scratch easily. Cover both front and back screens

- Just as expected Review by Big.B
-
Protection (Posted on 7/24/10)Product works as described and solves the reception issues. Nice protection that doesn't add any to the size of the phone. Which is what I was looking for.
- iPhone 4 case Review by Matt H.
-
Protection (Posted on 7/23/10)The case is very well designed and looks very slick. I normally don't like using screen protectors, but after seeing that i had put quite a few scratches, i decided to use the ones supplied with the case. It was easy to put on and works quite well, and is not noticeable. As with any such protectors, the glass has to be very clean to prevent small debris from making a clean bond.
Excellent value for the money.
- Nice iPhone 4 case Review by Sally H.
-
Protection (Posted on 7/23/10)Bought this to provide a little more impact protection for my IPhone 4, but without the bulk of most I've seen. Mission accomplished! This is a great little case - It probably wouldn't hold up to dropping it off the top of a building like the other big cases - but it certainly has the protection for a fall from my pocket or the desk, counter, etc. where I use the phone.... Good buy.
- Nice case Review by Jason-Y
-
Protection (Posted on 7/23/10)Rarely a product exceeds your expectation but this is one one them. I expected this to be one more of the many cases for the iPhone there are around which are either not resistant nor stylish but it turned to be a pleasant surprise to find a very solid yet slim and stylish case. The included screen covers are very easy to apply and have not glue effect. If you love your iPhone 4 as much as I do, you should try this product.
- great case 8 days delivery time! Review by Logan.M
-
Protection (Posted on 7/23/10)This is similar to my Incase that I had for my 3G iPhone but much much thinner. 3 stars because it took almost 8 days for me to get it, but the case is just as advertised.

Protection (Posted on 7/19/10)This is a great case for the money. The thinness is brilliant! And fits like a glove.
- No fuss case Review by Ana K.
-
Protection (Posted on 7/17/10)With the iPhone 4 being so fragile but gorgeous, I really wanted a case that would protect it but be subtle enough to still show off the phone. This case is just that and such a bargain, too!
- sleek Review by qtpiexoxo
-
Protection (Posted on 7/17/10)Nice sleek case...way better than trying to put duck tape on my phone to cover the antenna...
Hope they come out with more colors so I can order another!
- No more dropped calls Review by AlvarezNY
-
Protection (Posted on 7/17/10)I was skeptical about this case at first but figured it was worth a shot since it looks like they make good quality cases. Sure enough, it delivered on its promise and for 15 bucks, you cant beat it.
- Perfect! Review by CK
-
Protection (Posted on 7/17/10)This case is great. It fits very well, is slim and protective. It doesn't significantly increase the reception of my iPhone4. Is easy to put on and take off. And overall a phenomenal value.
- Exactly as advertised Review by Sally.M
-
Protection (Posted on 7/17/10)The reception case delivered exactly what it was advertise to do; prevent call drops. Now my iphone works like it should ;)
- Problem solved Review by lill-C
-
Protection (Posted on 7/16/10)The case comes with an easy to apply screen films and unlike some earlier cases that I had for my iPhone 1G, they are easy to apply with no bubble+glue
Once the protectors are applied and the case is on, the iPhone works without loosing a bar.
- AMAZING! Review by ML74
-
Protection (Posted on 7/16/10)As you know a major concern for most is being able to see the iphone4, this case does just that. It is super thin and crystal clear so it feels nice holding it in your hands and it's clear . I know that there have been some antenna issues with holding the iphone 4, but this case makes reception perfect! Overall, if you love your phone and want to keep it safe while keeping it pretty, you should get this case!

Protection (Posted on 7/16/10)This case is thin, clear and protective. Usually my phone case's leave little marks on the back of my phone ,but this case is AWESOME, it also comes with two screen guards for both front and back
- Looks great and protective Review by Ken.Lee
-
Protection (Posted on 7/16/10)Everything is awesome about this case. Fits snug, offers great protection against falls, and fully functional cut outs for buttons on side and top. Should be a necessity for the iPhone 4. It covers the screens and the sanp on case will restore the iPhone's reception. STRONGLY RECOMMEND!!"
- Does improve the reception! Review by pting
-
Protection (Posted on 7/12/10)Ordered and received the iphone 4 reception case. I must tell you that I am very happy with the product. It is well made and fits the phone well. Best of all it solves the "death grip" problem - which is the reason I purchased it. In addition, screen proctors are very easy to apply both front screen protector (and back protector too) great value for what it offers.
