The Apollo case from Cygnett is a hybrid which means that it combines two different materials: silicone and hard plastic. The case sports a clean design and can be ordered in different colors and the manufacturer has also included a screen protector.
At first I would like to thank Cygnett for offering a sample of their Apollo iPhone 4/4S case for testing and reviewing.

In this review we will take a look on another protective case from Cygnett, made specifically for iPhone 4/4S; the case is packed into a simple enclosure, with a molded cardboard bottom and a transparent plastic cover. Also on the top we can see some of the main product features listed:
On the bottom side of the box we also get to see a small product description:
Besides the case, the manufacturer has also included a small plastic envelope with a screen protector, a soft cloth, and a squeegee for eliminating the air bubbles after application:
As the manufacturer has mentioned in the product description, we are dealing here with another hybrid case which combines the grooved silicone placed at the interior with the scratch-resistant, hard plastic at the exterior:
Here are some views on the laterals of the case interior:
The case installation can be done in a snap and does not require special instructions; the top side is raised over the screen so in case we have a frontal impact, the glass won’t break or scratch:
On the bottom side we have openings for the speaker, the microphone and the Data/Charge port:
The right side of the case does not feature any other buttons or openings:
On the top we have a cover for the Power/Sleep button and openings for the second microphone and the audio jack:
The left side has another cover for the volume rocker and an opening for the Mute switch:
The back side is mostly composed of the hard plastic, but on the bottom we are welcomed by the Cygnett logo:
Here we will also find the opening for the camera lens and flash LED:
The Apollo case from Cygnett which fits the iPhone 4/4S mobile phones combines two materials: silicone and hard plastic and also comes with a handy screen protector. The silicone interior is meant to absorb the shocks and its raised edges will protect the front part of our iPhone. Also, the hard plastic exterior is meant to enhance the overall strength of the case and is also made from a scratch-resistant texture.
On the back side of the case we can see a hard plastic cut-out where the Cygnett logo is printed onto the silicone layer; this area of the case was made for good reason, in order to aid the removal of the phone from the case.
The Apollo iPhone 4/4S case can be ordered in different color flavors which includes black, white, purple, pink or red. The selling price is in the 26 Euro range.
I would like to thank again to Cygnett for making this review possible!
