UITextField Vertical Alignment

You should subclass a UITextField, and override the following methods:

- (CGRect) textRectForBounds: (CGRect) bounds
{
  CGRect origValue = [super textRectForBounds: bounds];

  /* Just a sample offset */
  return CGRectOffset(origValue, 0.0f, 4.0f);
}

- (CGRect) editingRectForBounds: (CGRect) bounds
{
  CGRect origValue = [super textRectForBounds: bounds];

  /* Just a sample offset */      
  return CGRectOffset(origValue, 0.0f, 4.0f);
}
