Kickback case for iPhone 4!
This case has a built-in stand capable of holding the iPhone in landscape orientation!
The case is a combination of hard-plastic and silicone-rubber, where the silicone rubber layers is very thin. The Kickstand still manages to offer above average protection in a slim and pocketable shape.
It is a well-designed and functional case but with just a single angle to stand. It is compatible with both the CDMA (Verizon) and GSM (AT&T) iPhone 4.
There are several iPhone cases with built-in stands, but it is important that the stand offers a variety of angles, as the ZeroChroma Teatro.
Unfortunately, the Kickback’s stand only offers one viewing angle, which is in landscape. Attempts to use the stand in portrait caused the iPhone to wobble and fall over. One positive characteristic of the stand is that it lays flat and out of the way when not in use.
Cases that combine hard-plastic with silicone rubber are designed to mine the best qualities of both materials. We wouldn’t consider the Kickback a true combo case, as it’s almost all hard plastic. The case has only the thinnest layer of silicone rubber lining inside, which keeps the case from scratching up the iPhone.
The exterior of the case is a high-quality, glossy hard-plastic. This Kickback was white trimmed with gray, but it’s also available in black and gray versions. Aesthetically, we found the glossy exterior to be modern and attractive, providing a surface similar to the previous generation iPhones (the 3G and 3GS) while maintaining the iPhone 4′s new contours.
To help provide better grip, the Kickback has four triangular strips of silicone near the four corners of the case. When held in one hand, the rubber comes in contact with your fingers and helps prevent the otherwise slick plastic from slipping in sweaty hands.
The case does a good job of staying out of the way of using the iPhone. There is a single wide cutout area for the iPhone’s ringer mute switch and volume buttons. This wide area makes the case compatible with both CDMA and GSM versions of the iPhone 4 (Verizon and AT&T iPhones in the US). For the iPhone’s sleep button, the case covers it with a raised area of silicone rubber that simulates a button. The button works accurately when pressed, but doesn’t feel quite as tactile as the normal button.
Finally, the Scosche Kickback is not as expensive as the ZeroChroma Teatro, but it has just one angle!
It is a good-looking dual-layer case with a built-in stand. Well-designed and offering above-average protection.
