Will your AT&T iPhone 4 case fit your Verizon version? That is
the question and we have to answer. Recently, the Apple company has
announced the launch of iPhone 4 for the Verizon mobile network.
Although this new device looks much like the AT&T, it has a couple
of features that are a bit different. The Verizon version has been
highly anticipated and Apple had rushed into releasing it due to popular
demand. The new minor changes of the iPhone 4 Verizon affect mainly the
accessories that you might want to purchase for your gadget. If you
want to move from AT&T to Verizon there are some things you should
know about how you will be able to accommodate you accessories to the
new changes.
The differences between these two smartphones
Let’s look at some important changes Apple have made with the iPhone
Verizon release. According to some notorious online publications and
blogs, these two devices are more or less similar, the only real
difference is the external antenna position which suffered a minor
relocation and also the On/Off and Mute buttons which are placed
slightly different than what the AT&T version is featuring. The
resulting relocation changes have created new gaps between the antennas.
Also, we can notice a new gap placed just above the Mute key. In order
to accommodate the new antenna changes, the volume buttons have been
moved slightly down over the left side. And that’s about it in terms of
visual changes between the AT&T version and the Verizon version of
the iPhone 4 gadget.
Can iPhone 4 Verizon use a iPhone 4 AT&T Case?
Although this might sound like a simple “yes or no” question, the
answer is not that simple. The relocation of the antenna as well as the
repositioning of the On/Off and Mute buttons affect how the old case
will fit this new device. Like any respectable manufacturer, Apple has
created cases that fit perfectly around the edges of your smartphone.
You don’t want your phone to dangle inside don’t you? That is why is a
close fit.
The antenna relocation does not affect the case, while the buttons do. So if your case has holes designed to fit the On/Off and Mute buttons it will not fit the Verizon iPhone. On the other hand, if your case is slightly loosen, having an opening that can accommodate the new repositioned buttons, you might have a winner, although the case will still not fit perfectly. The owners of flip-cases and leather pouches are not affected by this change.

The new cases for the iPhone 4 Verizon are available since February
2011, the same day as the new phone got released. This is good news,
because customers can purchase the new cases that are able to
accommodate the new subtle changes. As the new Verizon version has
become available, a lot of people sold their AT&T. It is so easy
these days to sell used cell phones.
Plus, the iPhone 4 AT&T is still very valuable on the used products
market, and you won’t have to get that much money out of your pocket go
be able to purchase the new release.
