If you are going to get a 4, be aware that it is a few mm longer than the 1/2/3 and will not fit your existing cases. I didnt realise that so now have cases which I cant use. I gave some to the buyer of the 1 but I didnt get enough for it to give them all to him. I've got them up on gumtree but no bites so far, not even for the Logitech keyboard case.
It does seem like each new iteration of iThings tends to be different enough that the existing cases won't work. I guess that's the price one pays for thinner and lighter. I have a basic rule of thumb that I won't buy a new iPhone model until mophie releases a supporting battery case. Part of the reason that I held on to my old iPad Mini so long was because I had a Kudo battery case for it, but there is no matching case for the Mini 4 (Kudo seems to have gone out of business. The old Kudo web site seems to have been taken over by someone else).
