Incipio's Edge Pro hard shell slide case gives the iPhone 4S rear, side and partial front protection while adding soft-touch finish which adds substantial grip to the otherwise slippery glass case.
The beauty of the Incipio Edge Pro case ($29.99) is that it is reasonably thin and light yet offers good all around protection thanks to a rigid polycarbonate frame holds structure and defends against accidental drops. Using it on my iPhone 4S, i've experieneced first hand how it easily absorbs minor drops and scuffs and scratches just seem to rub off.
In terms of the exterior and the finish, this rugged case has a soft-touch. Our unit's colour is Iridiscent Purple and it has a very muted and matte look and powdery feel. A two-piece slider case, you can tell just how rigid and robust the plextonium polycarbonate shell is.
In line with most Incipio cases, all the ports and buttons on the iPhone 4S are easily accessible and even the headphone jack is ample enough to accept various types of third party headsets. Incipio also upgraded camera ring that diffuses your camera's flash for high-quality photos, this differentiates the Edge Pro from the Edge series.
Personally, I am very happy with the Incipio Edge Pro hard shell case. It is strong, stylish and well constructed. It also is easy to put on and remove. It is as tough yet lightweight as my all time favourite, the Otterbox Reflex iPhone 4 case and a great case for iPhone 4/4S owners.
