  • Precise cutouts for headphone jack and 30-oin dock connector may cause issues with 3rd party accessories

Proporta 'Doodle Pad' Hard Shell for iPhone 4S

Proporta have been making a wide range of cases for the iPhone 4, and since the announcement and release of the iPhone 4S, we have seen many more cases appear on the market. This reviews will specifically focus on the Doodle Pad Hard Shell case from Proporta.com.

The Doodle Pad Hard Shell case arrives in a cardboard box with plastic insert, to which the case sits inside away from possible dust/damage during transit. The case doesn't include a screen protector, which I would say can be a small disadvantage when looking for a case for your new device, however I personally do not use one, so I don't see it as a let down.

The case comes in 2 other designs, one based on the Times Tables, and the other based on the scientific Periodic Table, both of which studied in schools around the world.

Upon taking the case outside the box, you get the feel instantly that this is a premium built case, and not something flimsy and easily breakable. The case has a soft matt finish to it, which the same feeling on the inside offering for protection against scratching the back glass of the iPhone. Many people upon seeing the case on my phone have asked if the drawing deplicted on the case are hand drawn, although they seem it they are not. It's all part of the design of the case, and I did spend a good 15 minutes looking over the case when I first unboxed it at all the designs.

Most cases seem to have issues with the camera and flash on the back of the iPhone, I have tested this case thoroughly and I don't see any flash flare from the case, nor does the thickness of the case affect the camera's focal area in any way. All the ports around the camera are open, including full access to the side volume buttons and mute slider switch.

As you can see from the photo above, the case doesn't really affect the front of the phone, and the case doesn't offer a lip as such around the edge of the phone's bezel. The case sits on the metal accent around the sides of the phone, which I personally like as I prefer the front of the phone to be on full display. The durability of the case is of a high quality, I found it to be difficult to bend it, and it seemed very sturdy when under pressure. The case can be a bit of a pain to pull off the phone, but with a little easing it does come off in the end.

Overall, I would happily recommend this case to anyone who enjoys a nice quirky design on your phone, and to anyone who wants that simple side/back protection, but leaving the front of the phone open for all its glory. I would like to say many thanks to Proporta.com for sending this case out to review.
