The most important thing to look for in an iPhone 4 case, beyond the antenna protection, is protection for the screen and body of the phone. Since the iPhone 4 is so sleek, sexy and attractive, you don't want dents and scratches to mar its shiny look. The sensitive touch screen is particularly susceptible to scratches and cracks.

The buttons and ports need to be protected from debris and dust as well. Dirt, lint, dust, sand, and other stuff often get embedded in the accessory port.

The best iPhone 4 cases protect the whole device, including the buttons and ports while still allowing access to these buttons and ports without taking it out of the case.
Another feature you will want in a good iPhone 4 case is protection for the camera lens. The tiny lens can easily get scratched or get dirt in it. You will need a clear cover for the screen and lens that will still allow you to use the camera.
Another essential feature of an iPhone 4 case that you may or may not have considered is style and uniqueness. The iPhone itself is a very elegant and sexy accessory, but an iPhone is an iPhone. They all look about the same. An iPhone 4 case can be a beautiful fashion accessory that says something about you personally. There are so many different designs, colors, shapes, sizes and styles to choose from, you are bound to find one that expresses your own personality.
