Oh, I'm definitely a bigger fan of the Formula case.
Formula 4 gotta have it
formula 4 is for me!
Loving these cases! So sweet looking. It almost makes the iPhone look like a different phone. I could probably convince my dumber friends that I've got an iPhone 5.
I like the formula case, as it doesn't intrude too much on the front glass!
Both look to be really good cases, though I think the Formula 4 is just a hair better.
Formula case. Hands down. It's just more.. sleek and im not a huge fan of polymer designs.
I prefer the complete coverage one. Always terrified something is gonna scratch my poor phone, heh
The formula 4 case looks down right sexy...gotta win me one!
Theyre badass!! I love the formula 4 case!! I hope I get to have it soon!
That Ion case is pretty sweet!
its got to be the Formula 4 - Black w/Carbon Back, clean lines seems stronger and smooth...
Formula 4 looks DIRTY!
Gotta go with the ion 4 case.
Formula 4 is sooo awesome! Looks better than slick and docks! Just perfect.
The Formula 4 is quite possibly the most attractive case I have ever laid my eyes on. It's legal to marry cases in Alabama, right?!
That formula 4 case is pretty sick! I'd love to deck my iPhone out in one of those puppies!
I dig the formula 4.
Both look very nice, but think the Formula4 is the way to go.

Formula 4 - Black w/Carbon Back !! right on!!
I prefer the Formula 4 case. But everything they create looks pretty sick. Thanks for the chance to win!
ION 4 for me. It guards the screen more which I need with a newborn and a 4 year old.
I prefer the formula case.....it seems like it has better protection
I like the Formula 4 case!!!!
That Formula case looks sweet. Love to have the chance to win one!
Formula 4 case looks great!
Formula 4 for me, looks more streamline.
I think the Ion looks better because it covers more on the front screen near the bottom. Donate a cool free one to me please
Formula 4 for me.
The Formula 4 case is slick. it still has the shape & feel of the Vapor, but i assume it will not effect the antenna at all. I love my Vapor case, its just not practical. Where this would look sweet & get the looks the Vapor did. I hope to win, Id love to sport this look again.
Nice! Don't like hard cases. Good luck to everyone else!
I don't like them, because they cover the apple. so i won't get them. sorry. but no.
Formula 4 for me. I tend to like hard cases more
Formula 4 case looks very nice, would love to have it!
The ion case looks cool. Even the formula one.
I happen to like the design of the ION 4 case. Been in the market for something new that wasn't an Otterbox.
Formula 4 is sick!
The Formula 4 looks better IMHO. The ION Case is good looking too, just a matter of preference.
Formula 4 looks WWAAAYYY better Ion 4, but Ion 4 looks like it has more coverage even though it's flexible. I'd go with Formula 4. It's sexy.
Formula 4, definitely!! So sleek!
Have to say that the Formula 4 sleekness is awesome.
Love the more minimalistic appeal of the Formula 4 case!
I love the ion! Or formula. I'll go with the cheaper one if you pick me!(:
Like the Formula 4 thanks!
I like the Ion case. I am on my third case so far. Apparently, I am either very rough with my phone, or I pick lousy cases. I started with a case-mate rubber type case. It stretched out and the phone kept sliding around, so I went with a Speck clamshell type case. This was my favorite while it lasted, but it was starting to come apart. Finally I got an Apple bumper which is the worst so far. The Ion case is my favorite as I like a little extra protection on the front glass of the phone. The Formula 4 case looks like it's flush with the front glass. The Ion looks like it wraps around the phone and should protect it better.
The Formula 4 case looks incredible.
Formula 4 would be what I would get.
If I could convince HQ (the wife) to spend 60 bucks on a case, let me win!
The Formula 4 is sweet, but man, really digging the Vapor Pro cases!
they are both great but the
Formula 4 - Black w/Carbon Back is the hotter of the two... would be like your Iphone riding in a limo...
Formula 4 for sure.
I want the formula case it is sick!!!
Formula please.
I'm digging the ION because I like the amount of carbon fiber that shows
I like the formula case better it seems at least that it is smaller and closer to the iphone in all directions. nice piece of kit
Ion because I like the carbon fiber feel.
Formula baby!
Both look great. Formula would be my preference.
Ion pretty please
I'd go with the Formula over the Ion just because it's not as bulky.
I think most people on here missed the bigger point of this article....NEW IPHONE 4 CASE. Think about it for a second... (Shades slid on)
Wow... I like these cases.. Quality looks fantastic. I like the Formula 4..
I like the ION4. It looks easier to get on and off and I like the style better!
THANKS!!!!!!
Formula 4 for sure
Has to be the formula 4 case, it looks a lot sleeker than the ION case which is why I bought my iPhone because the thinness, the case does look awesome though and looks like it would protect my iPhone superbly. I'd love to win it because I haven't got a case for my phone and this one looks stylish and nice :)
I'm really liking the clearence given for the volume buttons & silence switch.
This is the most frustrating thing lacking with most cases.
Very cool indeed!
Congrats!
I'll take the formula case...AWESOMENESS!
I like the Vapor 4 iPhone Case
The formula looks a lot better in my opinion!
I like the Formula 4 - Black w/Carbon Back! I do a lot of outdoor work, so i need a case that fully protects my iPhone 4!
Ion for sure, best looking.
Ion, not a fan of sliders (even partial)
formula 1!
P.s.
Def the Form 4 is my fave!
Slick!
Totally digging on that Formula 4 case. Would do wonders to cover up all the little scratches I've been accumulating over the past year!
Formula please!
Formula 4 all the way!
The Formula 4 - Black w/Carbon without question!
Formula 4 love it
The formula case is awesome, since I dock my iphone a lot. The style of the case is perfect and unique to most anything else out there as well.
the formula 4: my phone could use something more shock resistant
I like the ION. I could see the cap as a potential problem with the Formula
I like the Formula 4 the best. From the pictures it looks a little slimmer than the ion.
Man the Formula case looks sweet! Please!
The formula 4 for sure, slick design and looks pretty protective.
Ion please.
I love the Formula 4 case. I have the Case-Mate Carbon fiber backed case now, but the Formula 4 would make me change cases.
Formula please!
Ohhhh Da Formula 4 looks amazing...specially the original bumper styling gives it a much original n better look n feel. the ion 4 has those huge hole kinda thing on the sides which is really iphonic ;)
Its Formula 4 for me..
ION. I don't need a case that can dock...
Edited... forgot a word lol...
Ohhhh Da Formula 4 looks amazing…specially the original bumper styling gives it a much original n better look n feel. the ion 4 has those huge hole kinda thing on the sides which is really NOT iphonic ;) Its Formula 4 for me..
Formula 4, Oh please, please, please!!!!
Formula 4 please! Harder lines make me ...... like it more.
Cool give away!
I'd choose the ION 4. It seems like a more protective case, and as a firefighter that keeps his phone on him just in case, I can use all the protection I can get.
I don't know how many times I've dropped my poor 4 out of my pants when I'm changing in an emergency haha
Formula 4, can you just mail it now, or do I have to wait until you announce I won... Should I not of typed that, I guess now everyone knows there is no need to enter below mine... hehe
E.P.
Formula! I already have the Vapor 4 and it murders my signal :( but I love Element Case's designs!
I like the Formula case.
ION Please
the formula is hawt... plus i use docks all the time!
I like the Formula 4 case. Both look great but the Formula is my pick. I also love their iPad stands, the joule
Hey! Welcome to the Herbalife family : ) Do you have a coach? My first qotesiun would be what do you have for a normal meal? I usually have a shake for breakfast and lunch then dinner I have a meat, vegetable and starch or in layman's terms, pork/beef/chicken a veggie-maybe salad, corn, peas, and then starch-potatoe, noodle, whatever. Or I might just have pasta, soup and sandwhich. Definetly make sure you're drinking 6-8 glasses of water a day. Myself I've lost 40lbs and over 35inches. If you don't have a coach, I'd love to help coach and support you to get your weight off. You can shoot me an email at . Talk to you soon!
The ION is saaaaweet!!!!!!!!!!!!
Formula would be my preference!
Formula looks way sleeker. I've gone caseless for a while now but I've noticed lots of scratches in sunlight so I wouldn't mind having a case as awesome as the formula to hide those scratches and prevent new ones.
Formula looks great!
I'd take the formula case!
Both look great, but I'd prefer the Ion because of the no slip grip, I tend to drop my iphone a lot. Thankfully I've got a pretty good case-mate case.
Formula 4 4 iPhone 4 4 the Win!
Formula looks super sexy! I like me some carbon fiber.
I prefer the cleaner lines and removable bottom of the Formula case.
The formula definitely looks great!
Both look sweet, however, my choice would be the formula!
Loves me some Formula!
I like the Formula
I would take either one but since you twist my arm I'll pick the formula 4 case!!! Thanks Georgia :)
I always wanted a Element case but just cant afford one, it be nice to win something for first time.
I know Element makes the most stylish and best built cases without a doubt. Formula case looks excellent, would like nice on my iPhone4.
Good luck to all!!!!
I would LOVE to get the Formula case. My Griffin case is nice but it's falling apart on me. My phone constantly falls put of it.
I love the Formula! Looks like an aluminum case without the restrictions of an aluminum case. Count me in for a Formula!
Polycarbonate, carbon fiber, if it's good enough for Hans Solo, it's good enough for my iPhone! I'll take the Formula.
Oooh Formula!
I like the formula 4 case better because it doesn't cover the screen area as much as the Ion case.
The Formula 4 looks great with the stylish and strong carbon fiber. It would look great in my car, sadly that would be the only carbon fiber that car will ever see.
I like the Formula 4 case.
The formula case looks amazing! I just can't afford to spend that much money on a case
I like the carbon fiber back and removable bottom of the formula case. That would be awesome if I won it!
I like the Formula case. Looks sweet with the carbon fiber and has a removable bottom for docking.
The Formula 4 case is no doubt the nicest one. I'll take one of those please.
I think the "formula" case is HOT!
Formula 4! Finally did away with needing to carry around that key to take off the case. they also fixed the issue with the headphone opening being too small for some headphones. looks like they listened to all the "feedback" they were getting. better price too.
The Formula 4 is kick-ass and its cool that it has a removable bottom!.
Wow, the Formula 4 is outstanding. I could really use a case like that. I especially like the removable bottom.
My toddler chewed through the bumper.
I need a new case that's tough on teeth!
I like the Formula 4. I've liked their metal stuff previously, but it has been just out of reach financially.
The formula 4 case looks so dope!!
Both these cases look great! I've been looking for a good carbon fiber case for my phone and I think these might be them. I wasn't really into the "bumperness" of the vapor one plus it has a huge price tag. Both look great but I have to say the formula 4 looks better. I'd take either one though:p
Really love the sleek look of the Forumula case and it looks like it will offer great protection for my iPhone!
PLEASE pick me for the formula 4 case! I desperately need a case for my iphone 4!
I'm really liking that Formula case!
Formula ftw
I like the look of the formula case the best. I could use one, please.
i want onw
I like the Formula 4 case. I bet it's 4 times less likely to crash in the final corner when leading a Formula 1 race!!
looks pretty awesome, I want one!!!
Definitely the formula. It makes a great looking phone look even better.
ION 4 - Black w/Carbon Back looks great! I'd like to win that one! :P
I love the formula, especially for the removable bottom cap for docking.
The Formla 4 case looks awesome. Yo quiero!
Both of these cases look good, but a little color would be nice. Especially on the Formula 4
The Formula looks the best, I love that design!
I think both cases look elegant, mean and very rugged! The carbon fiber gives it a look like none other. Looks like you could drop your phone from any height and survive! It's a split between them both, so I hope I can get my hands on one!
The Formula for sure ... much cleaner design
The Formula is the best looking case out there!
I like the formula case it's protective yet sleek and sexy!
In for Formula
Good luck to ya'll and Thx TiPb!
The formula 4 looks better I love the carbon fiber
I'm liking the Formula 4's removable bottom, especially since I haven't found a dock that can fit my phone w/ the case on it.
Formula 4, baby!
It would be Nice to have the Ion.
I'm in.
I like the formula 4 case for it's dockability.
Want the Formula 4!!
The Formula 4 looks better. It has a better color and also you can easily remove the bottom part for docking.
Make mine the formula 4 because its the coolist.
I would love the formula. I need a new case but so broke.
ooh, I like the Formula 4 - Black w/Carbon Back.
The Formula 4! That carbon backing looks sick!
I want theThe Formula 4 case. I just want it.
Formula 4 is pretty sweet. And reasonable for an Element case.
The formula 4 looks excellent, good build quality, and would look great on my white iphone!
Sign me up, Formula 4 for me please.
I kinda like the look of the formula alittle better , but the ion looks like it has a snugger nicer fit to it, id gladly put either one on my iphone
The Formula 4 looks incredible. I love it! Ion doesn´t look good at all
The formula 4 looks amazing! WOuld love to get one.,
The Formula 4 looks really nicely designed. I like the ergonomic grips on the side, the minimal edge around the screen, and the dockability. Great case!
One formula 4 for me please or two if you're feeling generous!
Wow I would love the Formula 4! Please pick me!
They are both very nice looking cases. I would be happy to have either of them. Love the black carbon fibre look. It would most likely be the Ion for me. Thanks
I have to say, the Ion case is nice, and a good break from their typical high prices.
Both are really sweet cases but I for some reason I liked the Ion better. Would definitely take either since the one on my phone now is cracked
The formula 4 works best with my taste, but both cases look awesome.
The formula case is amazing! Too bad I'm a broke college kid lol
The Formula 4 case hands down...
The Formula 4 hands down
I prefer the formula case, I like a case that comes in that design, not to fond of the slip on case. I would love it !!!!
I really really really really really love the Formula 4, its exactly what I have been looking for in a case. I could sport it at the High School where I am a teacher. Love to make the kids jealous!
I definitely would like the Formula 4.
Formula 4
I love the formula case it beautiful!!
DEF the Formula 4. I'd rather have the porsche fully loaded.
Wow, both of these are pretty sick. I would love to win the Formula 4 case. I like the removable bottom for docking purposes.
Definitely the Formula case - it's gorgeous and it's dockable!
I love the carbon fiber! The design is awesome.
I want one so badly!
Formula 4 me!!!
The ion one looks nice
First day on this site and allready love it,ive been a Black Berry user for years and finally jumped ship,should have done it a long time ago.would love to have the Formula 4 case to show off my beauty to all my Black Berry friends,Thank You Tipb and Element
I like the formula 4 case better it may be a little bigger but the rubber finish does it for me
I like the look of the Formula 4. Nice!
The Formula 4 case is the one for me!
I love my Defender, but the removable cap to allow for docking would get me to switch in a heartbeat!
The Element Formula for the iPhone 4 would be my choice. Gl to all participants :)
The Formula 4 case would work well for me. Like the fact that it's dockable.. THANKS!
Would love to win either, however the Formula would be the best fit for me. Not only awesome protection, but good looks. Ive been looking for a case that makes my iphone4 even more beautiful and i think the formula takes the cake
Formula 4 looks REALLY slick, and the easy dock-ability is just icing on the phone protection cake
formula 4 looks more solid and the dock part its nice
The Ion is awesome!
Formula 4 case looks awesome!!
I really think the ion case is awesome. Great color scheme
i would like the formula 4 because i cant afford the element vapor. =)
The Formula 4 is just plain sick looking but the Ion is not bad either. I just got my Iphone and don't have a case yet. Would love to have either one. Let me win.
Formula 4 is very nice.
Looks good. Want one :)
Love to wrap my phone in the Formula 4. It has the styling cues I love from the Vaporware cases, but without sacrificing the ability to dock and at half the price! It will also be a nice alternative to the Griffin Etch graphite I got from Apple's free case from antennagate!
I have to go with the Formula 4. As my Otter Commuter has to be fully removed to use my dock, I'd love the removable bottom cap for quick docking and undocking.
count me in! I could use one to replace my reception blocking Vapor Pro.
I prefer the Formula case due to it's rigid construction.
The Formula 4 is definitely better looking. Keeps the front looking clean!
I like the Formula 4 Black w/ Carbon Back baby!
I like the formula one as the name says it - It has the formula to incline a person towards it lol.
S.
Formula 4 for my iPhone 4. Please. :)
Formula 4 :)
Formula 4 please!!
Formula is a case worthy to be on the grid at a F-1 race. Sleek and extremely well designed, a real winner!!
I would love the Formula 4 case. Something about carbon fiber just gets me all bubbly.
My favorite is the Formula Four. Classy, feels great, everything you could possibly want in
an IPhone 4 case. It would be great to win. Thank you for the opportunity!!!
Sincerely,
Frederic Squires
Formula 4!
Formula 4 case looks awesome. Been looking for something to replace my old apple bumper and I think I've finally found it!
I would like The Ion case since it is a slip on one piece.
I prefer the lighter minimalist Formula 4. Hope I get to try it out!
Holy guacamole the Formula 4 is a slick looking case.Sure would make a nice early fathers day present,(wink,wink). Good luck to all.
I like the Formula 4 the best!
I like the formula 4 case. It looks really good (ESP to a car enthusiast like me) and looks like it protects well. Hopefully I win this case since I recently lost my job and can't afford to buy it if I don't win.
I would have to go with the formula 4.
Formula 4 looks awesome.
Love them both as they each feature a racing inspired look to them. I would prefer the Formula 4 however as it approaches a more aggressive design which really suits my tastes in cars (and in this case - an iPhone case). Whether or not I'm picked, thanks for giving one of these away!
Right now I have an 'incase' clear case (cracking in both top corners for some strange reason) to show off my "Neon Genesis Evangelion screen protector (front and back). What better way to make my phone look more 'NERV'-like than to have the Formula case to keep it "top-of-the-line"!!!
Formula 4 looks great and you don't have to take the case off to dock it : )
The FORMULA 4 CASE FTW!!! That thing is awesome! Looks like it would fit my needs/wants for a case perfectly!
I'd love a Formula 4.
Formula 4, Docking is a must!
The black Formula 4 is the best looking case. I really like the look of it.
Formula 4 for me, it looks awesome.
Formula 4 - Black w/Carbon Back
Hey, I need an iPhone 4 case REALLY BAD because I don't have one and love my iPhone 4. I take a look at your blog at lest 3 times a day, just awesome. Could I please have the The Formula 4 case :) It looks really nice :D. Thanks a lot, lots of interesting things on this website!!!
Ooh La La! I would love the Formula 4 case. Thank you guys!
I like the sleek smoothness of the Formula 4.
I like the Formula 4 case as it is durable and sleek. Much better looking than the bulky otterbox defender case my Iphone 4 is currently wrapped in.
Loving the look of the Ion. Would love to have one!
I would get the formula edition because it says aerospace in the description!! I'm sold ;-)
Both cases are great, although I like more the ION case, looks great!!
THIS IS the case of my dreams... Gotta love that carbon fiber!! Me needs one.....QUICKLY!
I love the Formula 4 case and would be totally fine if you wanted to give me one!
Ion is awesome
