Due to a slightly button configuration on Apple's newest iPhone model, the 4S, many new owners likely need to buy new protective cases. As holiday season gift-giving extravaganza approaches, it's easy to buy a simple black bumper for the phone, but it's not as fashionable or fun as an iPhone case could be.
