Well to help you Cloud Bite has come up with the Top 5 Must have iPhone 4 Cases from ones to enchance the look to the ultimate protection! Take a look at the range and pick the right iPhone 4 Case for you!

Official Apple Bumpers

1. Firstly Apple, like they did with the iPad have made Official Apple Cases they are calling “Bumpers”. The cases come in a variety of colours and protect the edges of the phone. Like with all Apple Products you know they will be made well and the buttons are covered up with metal preserving the iPhone look but protecting it at the same time. All the ports of the iPhone are fully accessible as well! They do only protect the sides however and are rather pricey for what you are getting, but if you like the look of this iPhone 4 Case then you can pre-order it a Mobile Fun!

Cygnett Snaps Duo

1. Next up we have the Cygnett Snaps Duo. Looking a lot like the Apple Bumpers but costing a lot less these are ideal! Not only that though but you will actually get 2 different coloured covers and screen protectors. They come in a few different colours than the Apple ones with the addition of an Aqua, Royal Blue a striking yellow and red case along with Black, Grey and Orange! So if you like the idea of the Apple Bumper but want to avoid that premium price then take a look at this iPhone 4 Case!

Cygnett Frost Matte Case

1. Thirdly is the Cygnett Frost Matte Case not only does this case look stunning it provides you with all round protection in a range of cool colours from Black to Pink, Purple to Red, Blue to Orange! The Frost case has an anti-fingerprint coating that keeps the phone looking new. It is designed to give you a tight grip on your phone and slides into your pocket with ease! Finally it is pretty durable and will protect your brand new device from all those scrapes, dirt and fingerprints! So if you want to keep your phone all cool and frosty the Cygnett Frost Matte iPhone 4 Case is for you!

Case-Mate Fuel Max

1. At number four is the ideal case for those of you who just cant stop playing with the iPhone! What is an iPhone without any battery power? Well, an expensive paperweight! The last thing you want to do is use the iPhone be it for gaming, navigating or, we shouldnt forget actually calling someone and run out of battery! you don’t want to walk in the office showing, Jim? your new iPhone 4 and suddenly the battery die do you! Well this case, the Case-Mate Fuel Max Case has a built in 2000 mAH battery built right in! So as soon as your getting low on juice flick the switch and you will be charging your iPhone! Forget taking a battery pack with you just have it built right into the case, that way its less faffing, less to loose, less to carry, simples! This iPhone 4 Case is for you heavy users!

Case-Mate Torque Case

1. Lastly I have spotted this funky looking case. With millions of the iPhone 4 to be sold over the next few months there will be several people walking around with them and you will want to protect yours but also stand out in the croud! Well the Case-Mate Torgue iPhone 4 Case you not only get form fit protection but full all round protection and with full access to every iPhone 4 function. Case-Mate is a well established brand known for quality and protection and that ethos continues through to their latest products!

So thats all my line-up for you but if your not sure about any of these our friends over at Mobile Fun have an iPhone 4 Case to suit you. Infact at this time of writing, they have 173 for you to pick from!

PaperToss App

PaperToss App The Paper Toss App is a great little game that can give you several minutes, yes minutes I doubt hours, of fun and is a great tea break game just to pass some time. The game is set in a office and the idea of the is to try and toss the paper into the bin by drawing its route on screen however there is a one obstacle, a Fan! No I don’t mean a fan as in a celebrity fan, I mean an Office fan. It will blow the paper in a certain direction and you need to determine how to through the paper in order to overcome the wind from the fan. Overall the game is great for those breaks but can get tiresome over time but it’s Free so what are you waiting for?

Waterslide Extreme App

My Next Top 5 App is another Game. This one is called WaterSlide Extreme and is a great little game that can get quite addictive. Your mission is to slide down the waterslide, not you a character but you have to direct the character by tilting the iPhone left or right and forwards and back for speed. When sliding down there are green stars to hit to get points but watch out there’s also a crab and an angry duck, don’t ask, but they will cause you to loose a life so be careful also don’t tip the iPhone too far or you will fall off the slide. Check this app out in the App Store for free!

WoW Mobile Armory App – (Requires Data Access and a Battle.Net or WoW Account)

So it looks like the biggest MMO in the World has come to the iPhone… Well not quite. If you have ever played World of Warcraft you have probably come across the armory. What it allowed you to do was see yours and everyones characters and see what gear they had, what talent spec they had, there rep, arena info and much more. If you haven’t a clue what I’m on about you probably haven’t played so skip this app. What the Armory App does is lets you see all this information without having to go on the web. Whats also nice is when you log into your account it shows you all your characters without having to find them yourself. If your a WoW player it’s a must, if your not a player you have a life and can skip this app. (I’m not having a dig I used to play too!)

iPint App So whats this iPint app? Well this is one of those apps you must get if you want to show your brilliant iPhone off to your mates or down the pub. Simply touch the screen and your iPhone fills with what looks like realistic beer. Simply put the iPhone to your mouth, tilt and the drink appears to be emptying into your mouth. Ok so it doesn’t look like it’s a glass. You can tell its a phone but when your mate wants a pint tell him to touch the screen and drink that. Imagine the taste and it will save you lots of money! Overall iPint is a great funny app that is a great sneaky way of showing everyone your doing well, you have an iPhone, but without actually having to point it out!

UK TV Guide App – (Requires Data Access) My Final App of the Week is aimed at UK users like myself. Sorry everyone else but I had to mention it in the Top 5. This App is brilliant! Simply put its a EPG (electronic programme guide) on your iPhone. When you load the app it instantly shows you whats on now and next for all the Freeview and many if not all the Sky Channels too! You can also click on a channel and see whats on every day for the next 7 Days. Not only that but for BBC channels it provides links to the iPlayer (BBC on demand service) and opens the page up in Safari instantly.  If you like your TV and are in the UK this is another must!

TwitterFon App

TwitterFon App – (Requires Data Access)

The TwitterFon App allows you to pull in your Twitter Alerts and reply directly to people on Twitter and update your status simply and quickly. There is a Pro Version available which adds 4 Themes, Landscape Support, Support for Multiple Accounts, is Ad Free and adds a few other features. If you like TwitterFon Free it might be worth upgrading but it should be noted there is currently no push support built into this app.

Movies App

Flixster Movies App – (Requires Data Access and GPS for Full Use)

The Movies App from Flixster is one of the most useful apps I have used. The App allows you to find Movie Times, Cinemas, Watch Trailers, find out Release Dates, see what the critics are saying about a movie by pulling in the Rotten Tomatoes Data. If you have an iPhone 3G/3GS the App automatically finds your local Cinemas and Shows you what Films are on and what times they are showing. It also gives you the option to call the cinema and get directions too it. What I love about this App is it is the iPhone at it’s best using all it’s features and making life mobile, quick and simple!

Tap Tap Revenge 2

Tap Tap Revenge 2 App – (Requires Data Access to Download Songs)

Tap Tap Revenge 2 is a great little game that lets you pass the time while listening to some great tracks. The Game is a Guitar Hero type when you have to touch the cloured circles when a dot passes through them, trust me it’s harder than you think. Listening to the tracks is free and at the end you are given the option to buy them. The game is great great fun and you will be playing for hours it’s definitely worth checking out!

Backgrounds App

Backgrounds App – (Requires Data Access)

The Backgrounds App is a great source of, well obviously, backgrounds for the iPhone and iTouch. There are lots of different backgrounds available of all categories from animals, to cars and all are scaled perfectly for the iPhone and iTouch!

ECB Cricket App

ECB Cricket App – (Requires Data Access)

The ECB Cricket App is brilliant for all those Cricket Fans who want to keep up with the latest Cricket Scores. With the ashes (England v Australia) currently underway it is also useful to see who’s winning and the latest news regarding players, games and everything Cricket!

This concludes my Top 5 iPhone/iTouch Apps for week begining 13/07/2009. I would like to hear your thoughts on these Apps…
