iPhone 4 Case that Supports Oversized Headphone Plug

You could buy the case you want and just make the opening for the headphone bigger with a drill (if plastic) or exacto knife (if rubber).  Another solution is to get something like this:

I'd also like to know of an iPhone 4 case with a very large headphone port, or a case which leaves the entire top of the phone bare..  Just received my custom cable to pair with my UE TF10's and realized the Viablue connector does not fully plug in with Apple's Bumper on. 

Also, will that adapter mentioned in the above post decrease the sound quality to my IEM's at all?

I switched from the bumper case to the invisible shield just so I could use my JH16 Pro.  It's not bad and I only use it on the sides and the back.  However, I've finally discovered the antennae issue.  It doesn't seem to do much to fix that problem.  With the bumper case, everything was fine.

It depends how you install your IS. The one strip that goes on that side can be moved down more so it crosses over the black "bridge" and then continue the strip with the bottom piece that goes at the bottom to protect the corner. That will fix the antenna issue since it keeps you from connecting those two pieces of metal with your finger. I think the IS is the best way to go for over sized plugs.

I use the case mate barely there case. I put the anti glare screen on and that's it. It does leave the top of the phone open

I'm not putting any screens on top of this beautiful retina display.

Anyone else have tips of a case that has good side protection and edges that will not let the screen contact the table if you put it down flat accidentally?

Currently I take out my Speck Geometric and put the iP4 in a pouch to bring to the gym. Seriously, this is not ideal. I mean I'm not even asking to use Viablue with the iP4 + case - just my UM3x.. that plug is so much lower profile!

edit: I'm thinking of this case. A bit pricy, but looks good. Just wondering if I'll need some sort of invisible shield for the sides (my phones tend to take some serious beating on the sides..

My free case came yesterday from Apple, it's a Griffin Reveal Etch. It's pretty low-profile, looks great, and has a much larger hole for the headphone jack than the last case I had (Frogz or something like that?). Anyway it fits my EarSonic SM3 fine. From what I can tell this is definitely the best of the ones they're giving away.

Hey Tony,

I think I may have found the case I've been looking for:

Take a look.  I think it may suit your needs as well.  Waiting on them to release it so I can read some reviews about it.

I use this because I also have a Wadia Dock. Bottom is removable to allow full uncased access to the usb and headphone jacks. http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/elan-form-ipod 

wow... that SGP ultra thin case looks fantastic. thanks for posting, i may have to order one.
