2013-06-06 Thread Alan Paganelli
Ari, you have the same case as I.  My wife didn't like it because she said it 
took up to much room in her lab coat.  She got one of those no name rubberized 
cases that reduced the size by offering little protection and relying on the 
rubberized part to keep it from falling out of her pocket.  Surprisingly enough 
it actually works.  

On the other hand, my iPhone has been out of it's case maybe twice but I know 
once for sure.  We thought my screen was starting to go out.  Right in the 
center of the screen was this tiny white dot.  We took my phone back to the 
AT&T store and the young fellow who sold it to us and put my phone in the case 
looked at it with a magnifying glass and started to chuckle.  Then he took the 
case apart and blew the speck of dust off the inside of the plastic cover and 
cleaned it with a micro fiber cleaning cloth, put it all back to gather and 
couldn't help himself from chuckling just a little.  I apologized for wasting 
his time and he said no, I'd rather do this all day then to have to tell people 
their phone can be fixed but it won't be cheap.

I liked this young kid.  He knows what he's talking about and had never tried 
Voice over and said let's check it out together and we'll both learn something 
together.  He spent several hours with me looking up gestures and enough stuff 
to get me started.  To top it all off, he gave me his personal iPhone number 
saying call me if you need help or you forgot a thing or two.

Like I said, he didn't laugh to hard and the lad is only about as old as my son 
(22)

  A friend of mine has the Otterbox Commuter, which didn't look bad at all. 
It's certainly a little less bulky than the Defender, which is the case that I 
have right now.

Hi, if you are referring to a screen protector like what I mentioned in 
my prior message, it's a thin piece of plastic which sticks onto the 
face of the iPhone glass via silicon I believe. This adds protection to 
your iPhone and in the case of Speed Dots, they are modified screen 
protectors which have dots punched into them making it seem like there 
is Braille on your iPhone screen. This allows you to more quickly find 
things on your iPhone screen if you think you need that. I got them 
because I like to type fast and with the aid of the Speed Dots protector 
I can type more than 50 words per minute on my iPhone.


I hope that helps.

Hi Simon,

The protectors are to go over your screen so it doesn't get scratched.  Don't 
go out and spend money because, I will be changing my phone soon and I have a 
couple of spare ones that will fit your 4S and won't fit my new phone.

Hi

When I got my iPhone 5 several months ago, I found the MiniSuit Clipster
Combo Case with Kick Stand + Holster Belt Clip for Apple iPhone 5 (AT&T,
Verizon, Sprint and Unlocked Models)- Black on amazon.com.  It sells for
about $10.  It is a hard shell that covers the back and the edges of the
iphone.  It is not bulky, and when you put it into the holster for the belt
clip, the screen is also covered.  There are also openings in the back left
side, top and bottom to reveal the lense, buttons and ports.  But
unfortunately, I think it only comes in black.  You can find it at:

http://www.amazon.com/MiniSuit-Clipster-Holster-Verizon-Unlocked/dp/B0099XQN
RI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1370370396&sr=8-1&keywords=minisuit+iphone+5+case+

Hi, unfortunately I don't know of other cases other than Otter Box and
Griffin cases which have belt clips. Also, those are the thicker cases If
you want something which doesn't add too much bulk I would be surprised if
it came with a belt clip.  However with all that, I could be wrong.

Right now, I have an OtterBox Defender, and I love it. It's starting to show
its age rather spectacularly, though. There are some chips in the hard
plastic shell, and the headphone port cover is dangling from one side. I'm
looking to replace it, but I think I might want something a little less
bulky. Don't get me wrong, I love my OtterBox, but it can get kind of in the
way sometimes. What are some good cases that have clips and rubber shells?

Hi,
unfortunately your not going to get around the bulkiness issue when it comes to 
cases with belt clips. If you want just a small case and no protection you 
could just get a leather belt case. But in my experience I've found these to be 
worthless and taking my phone out of the case scary's me because it's not 
protected. That being said there is the lifeproof case and the otterbox 
defender.

RE: iPhone cases with belt clip and rubber shell - was - Re: How many folks carry their iPhone without a case?

2013-06-04 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Raul and others,

A friend gave me a case he bought I believe on Monoprice.com. Unfortunately
I don't know the name, but I believe it was only $6 or something like that.
It's a very minimal hard plastic case which covers the entire back of the
phone except of course for the camera hole. It also covers the 2 long sides
with cut-outs for the volume buttons and the mute switch. The top and bottom
are open but the back of the case sticks out ever so slightly, I mean maybe
a sixteenth of an inch, it's enough for the edge of the case to take the
impact, but very little.

The phone snaps into the case very securely and it adds almost no bulk, but
this case has the added benefit to come with a belt clip which can also
swivel, i.e. you can turn it so your phone is in landscape mode so to speak
which is important if you want to use the phone on your belt with apps like
Blindsquare. For apps that use the compass the phone has to point in the
direction you are going instead of up and down and I find that this works
very well for me. The case that is on the phone slides into the belt clip
and it's a friction fit, you put the bottom end of the phone in to the top
of the belt clip opening and push it down and you can, if you want, push it
in top first if you want the phone to be upside down which I find sometimes
is more handy if you plan to use the phone while it's in the belt clip.

It is also very easy to slide the phone out if you don't have a headset
connected and you want to take a call. I know it sounds too easy, but it
really is a very snug and secure friction fit yet easy to slide in and out.

The only complaint I have is that the belt clip is not as strong as for
example the one that came with my Lifeproof case. It's secure, but if
somebody gave it a really hard yank it could probably be pulled off.


Regards,
Sieghard

Hi, they are relatively easy to remove and put on. However if you have a 
screen protector you better be sure it's on perfectly with no part of it 
sticking out. Otherwise you will find that the case doesn't fit quite 
right, or that the case makes your protector bubble out on the corners. 
I guess it's a good way to test whether your protector is on right or 
not. Of course if you don't use a protector, then no worries there.


Hope that helps.

Hi Raul,

I'm just curious how often you change out your case "just because I can" and 
want a different color for a while.

I'm guessing these cases you prefer are easy to put on and take off, and they 
are reusable, that is, they don't lose their shape or fit with change outs? Is 
this your experience?

I have a case called Poetic something or other which covers the back, and sides 
and is low profile. It serves my purpose, but I've never had experience with 
other cases. Mine can be a little difficult to get off and on (as Apple Techs 
have asked me to do a few times). I plan on checking out your TPU cases 
sometime.

Hi, unfortunately I don't know of other cases other than Otter Box and 
Griffin cases which have belt clips. Also, those are the thicker cases 
If you want something which doesn't add too much bulk I would be 
surprised if it came with a belt clip.  However with all that, I could 
be wrong.

The thing that I look for in cases a belt clips. I use them all the time. Right 
now, I have an OtterBox Defender, and I love it. It's starting to show its age 
rather spectacularly, though. There are some chips in the hard plastic shell, 
and the headphone port cover is dangling from one side. I'm looking to replace 
it, but I think I might want something a little less bulky. Don't get me wrong, 
I love my OtterBox, but it can get kind of in the way sometimes. What are some 
good cases that have clips and rubber shells?

I'm coming in very late on this, but I personally like the TPU s-pattern or 
S-line cases. They are form-fitting, add little bulk, and have grips on the 
sides to help your phone not slip through your sweaty fingers. Plus, and this 
is my personal favorite, they come in different colors. Regardless of whether 
you are blind or not, I personally feel that colors do matter in this world. 
So, since I like Blues and Purples, I have cases of these colors to match my 
personality. Plus, TPU is a kind of plastic which helps in cases where the 
phone may drop onto the ground. yes, I know there are web sites which say you 
don't need cases, but I choose to have one. I'm no longer in the army camp of 
those who feel they need a life proof case, or an Otter Box case for their 
every day needs, but the TPU cases do help my peace of mind. I also have a 
Speed Dots Screen Protector but that's more for typing speed over any sort of 
protection.

Me too,

I use my 5 naked. ;) No cases here…

I do carry the phone in my purse when in transit and use it for work / personal 
every day so when not in my purse, it's always out and about. :) When at work 
it's always plugged into my Mac for development so it is always charging as 
well.

For myself, I both like the Mophi products as well as the Bumpers from Apple.

I did use a Bumper on my 4 and 4S and a Mophi Juicepack Air for my 3GS.

For the 5, I've thought of also getting a Bumper but just haven't gotten 'round 
to it yet. :) I think the Bumpers are a great idea as they don't compromise the 
phone's appearance and do keep it from accidentally sliding off of a table etc.

As well, I do agree with others here that using a case is cool too. Since the 
iDevices are really important life-changing little beasties, I.E. since your 
phone is valuable to you for more reasons than just the convenience of having a 
phone, being careful is certainly a wise idea. :)

For now though I just use it without a case.

I have an iPhone V, and I do miss the rubber bumper that I used to have on
my iPhone IV -- it didn't add any bulk, and it kept the phone just a smidge
off the surface of wherever you put it.

The nice thing about not having a case is it is easy to slip into my pocket.

Hi Raul,

I'm just curious how often you change out your case "just because I can" and 
want a different color for a while.

I'm guessing these cases you prefer are easy to put on and take off, and they 
are reusable, that is, they don't lose their shape or fit with change outs? Is 
this your experience?

I have a case called Poetic something or other which covers the back, and sides 
and is low profile. It serves my purpose, but I've never had experience with 
other cases. Mine can be a little difficult to get off and on (as Apple Techs 
have asked me to do a few times). I plan on checking out your TPU cases 
sometime.

Thanks. Keith

I had a case for my 3GS, but when I got my 4S I decided I would use it without 
a case. It looks fine to my tired old eyes, but my wife tells me that there are 
some small fine scratches on the back. I donate my Apple devices to Blind 
Service in Chicago, Once I am finished with them,  so a few scratches shouldn't 
matter.

iPhone cases with belt clip and rubber shell - was - Re: How many folks carry their iPhone without a case?

2013-06-04 Thread Arianna
Yay for blue, Raul! That's my favorite color, even though I have absolutely no 
color perception.

The thing that I look for in cases a belt clips. I use them all the time. Right 
now, I have an OtterBox Defender, and I love it. It's starting to show its age 
rather spectacularly, though. There are some chips in the hard plastic shell, 
and the headphone port cover is dangling from one side. I'm looking to replace 
it, but I think I might want something a little less bulky. Don't get me wrong, 
I love my OtterBox, but it can get kind of in the way sometimes. What are some 
good cases that have clips and rubber shells?


Thanks,
Ari

I'm coming in very late on this, but I personally like the TPU s-pattern 
or S-line cases. They are form-fitting, add little bulk, and have grips 
on the sides to help your phone not slip through your sweaty fingers. 
Plus, and this is my personal favorite, they come in different colors. 
Regardless of whether you are blind or not, I personally feel that 
colors do matter in this world. So, since I like Blues and Purples, I 
have cases of these colors to match my personality. Plus, TPU is a kind 
of plastic which helps in cases where the phone may drop onto the 
ground. yes, I know there are web sites which say you don't need cases, 
but I choose to have one. I'm no longer in the army camp of those who 
feel they need a life proof case, or an Otter Box case for their every 
day needs, but the TPU cases do help my peace of mind. I also have a 
Speed Dots Screen Protector but that's more for typing speed over any 
sort of protection.

Hi Stacey, a Bumper is the Apple-produced case for the iPhone. It only covers 
the outside frame of the device and leaves the front and back bare.

I'm assuming the Bumper for the 5 is identical in this design but my experience 
is only with the Bumpers for the 4 and 4S.

Re: How many folks carry their iPhone without a case?

I think it depends on if you plan on selling your iPhone after your contract is 
up with your provider.  iPhones that are in fantastic condition bring more 
money then ones all beat to hell.  Also, iPhones with larger hard drives fetch 
more money then those with only 8 GB for example.

  I don't like, are use cases either. People buy a nice new shiny expensive 
iPhone and then cover it up with the case. Just does that make sense to me. 
Takes away the nice looks of the iPhone.

Hi.  I don't have a case for my ipad mini yet.  I have a rubber case that sits 
on the back of my iphone it's probably more like a bumper but the phone fits in 
the case, only the back is protected but I like the way the rubber feels in my 
hand easier to hold.  
Blessings! Maria Joe and loving guide Karly.

OOooh dear, not likely,  I got a Griffin Survivor around the MIni and there 
it stays, plenty to grab hold of  or hang on to it by.  And the rubber top

Well, last fall I had two falls, one over a crack in a side walk, one over a 
rolled bit of asphalt at a curb.  Both times I landed on the side I carry my 
phone, in an Otter Box case.  It is still working despite the two falls and the 
two drops it has had in the past year, I try to be careful, but sometimes 
things just happen.

I don't have a case, but I do have a screen protector. I have the screen 
protector from SpeedDots. Screen protectors don't take away from the look and 
feel of the device, and the few dots help keep me oriented, especially when I'm 
using my phone at a strange angle.

With my first two Nokia phones, I got cases for them. I also got cases for my 
MP3 players. When I got my Nokia E71X, I decided that it was just too 
attractive to wrap in plastic, leather or silicon. I haven't used any cases 
since then. I take good care of my devices, keeping them in a pocket, brief 
case and so on. I don't think less of anyone who puts a case on their phone, 
but I just like the sleek elegance of the device, and I want to enjoy that 
instead of a 3rd party case.

Hi all,

My provider now offers to buy back my phone upon evaluation.  I was told I 
would get a good price if my phone is in top condition without nicks and 
scratches.  Although I was very lucky not to ever drop my phone in the 3 years 
I have had it, I still think minimal protection is good to have.  The glass 4 
and 4S can easily slide off a table if you bump it.  I realize that a drop from 
a desk or table would probably not kill the phone but it could nick it or even 
just scratch it.

This buy-back program did not exist when I purchased my phone but, am I ever 
happy I selected to protect my phone from minor accidents in order to get the 
best price for it.  Having said that, I also don't believe that its necessary 
to have a phone in an armor that doubles its size  unless you work on a

I guess its up to the individual circumstances.

I don't use a case anymore.
When I first bought my i phone 4 I got the Otterbox Defender case, thinking I 
needed that much protection.  I guess I'm just not that tough on my stuff.  I 
think this case does give lots of protection, unfortunately, it adds a lot of 
bulk, too.  the one thing I did really like about this case was and is the 
screen protecter in it.  I'm cleaning the screen more now, just because!

RE: How many folks carry their iPhone without a case?

2013-05-30 Thread Rose Combs
I use a case, when I first got mine I had a case where it sort of sat
inside, it was the case for an older iPhone but I could clip it to a pocket.
I bought an Otterbox and have never looked back.  I have had at least two
times when I dropped the phone, once I was in the hospital and it got pushed
off a table that was high;  by an aide who thought it was cool to reorganize
everything on my husband's table when he was having a procedure done.
Recently I got tangled up in cables and pulled it off the desk, it landed on
my foot, but I am glad I have that protection and a lot of my coworkers ask
me where I got the case.

I don't like, are use cases either. People buy a nice new shiny expensive
iPhone and then cover it up with the case. Just does that make sense to me.
Takes away the nice looks of the iPhone.

Re: How many folks carry their iPhone without a case?

2013-05-30 Thread kb5752
I use an Otterbox Defender case all the time. I like the protection it 
offers, plus it frames the screen nicely so that the four corners of the 
display are easy to find.


I understand the rationale of using and not using the case. Here's another 
great example of freedom of choice.

I have never used a case.  I tried for a part of a day one time and it
drove me crazy.  I have dropped it and it has some scratches on it.  I
don't plan to sell any of my phones so that is not a concern.

I don't like living dangerously, especially when my Iphone is my only phone. 
The case that I have makes the phone easy to hold, and even though I am 
extremely careful with my phone, if I should drop it I want it protected.

Re: How many folks carry their iPhone without a case?

2013-05-29 Thread Victor Gouveia
I had a case on my 3GS, but with no screen protector, and, when it came time to 
upgrade to the 4S, I was able to state that the phone's aesthetic quality was 
very good to excellent.  There were absolutely no scratches on the screen or 
outer case, and all the buttons weren't loose from wear and tear.  I think the 
best part of my case was that the back part was of a felt design, while the 
front part that housed the screen was hard plastic, wider and more forward then 
the screen, so if the phone fell screen first, the hard plastic would catch the 
impact and not the screen.

Don't get me wrong, if the screen fell against a corner of a piece of 
furniture, then you were in trouble, but more often then not, it fell on it's 
side, back of front.

When I got my 4S though, I decided I didn't need a case.  Well, I did want a 
case, but delayed too long in getting one, and so when my phone fell on my tile 
floor in the kitchen, there was a slight chip in the corner.

Barely noticeable, and you can hardly distinguish it from the other corners on 
the phone, meaning I would have to point it out just so one would notice it.

My wife, who could see didn't even notice it until I pointed it out to her, but 
that was enough to get me to buy a case, and now it's a pain in the butt 
because it's a foam, rubber bumper which clicks onto a belt clip, and it's so 
awkward to clip into, and even harder to clip off.

In any case, I guess if your intention is to re-sell it, it's better to get a 
case for aesthetic purposes, as most buyers prefer it be as undamaged as 
possible, but if you're just going to stick it in a drawer, or give it to your 
10 year-old daughter when you're done with it, then I don't think a case is a 
necessity.

Re: How many folks carry their iPhone without a case?

2013-05-29 Thread Alan Paganelli
I have 2 good friends that carry an iPhone in their pocket with out a case.  
Both say, iPhone is about the toughest phone you can buy.  The screen is 
protected by Apple's glass technology which they insist is tougher then window 
glass.  The phone shows signs of where because the one guy has a 3GS and the 
other guy a 4.  They say the case thing is mostly one of scaring the hell out 
of people.  My opinion is that of yours.  I'm not that brave either.

Re: How many folks carry their iPhone without a case?

2013-05-29 Thread Chuck Dean
BTW. I have an external battery case for my iPhone, but I seldom carry
my iPhone in it because it is too bulky. I do use it to charge my
phone, however, because I can slide the phone into the case and the
connector is located perfectly every time. No worries about accidently
damaging the phone's charging port.
Also, I use it when I travel, because the mini USB jack that plugs
into the battery case, also works on my Plantronics M 50 headset. Less
stuff to carry.

I love the feel without a case, but I use the defender case on my iPhone 4S. 
I have dropped it in the street with the case and no damage ata all. 
Accidents happen no matter how careful you are.  To each his own though. 
I'll continue to use the case.

Re: How many folks carry their iPhone without a case?

2013-05-29 Thread Christopher Chaltain
I don't have a case, but I do have a screen protector. I have the screen 
protector from SpeedDots. Screen protectors don't take away from the 
look and feel of the device, and the few dots help keep me oriented, 
especially when I'm using my phone at a strange angle.


With my first two Nokia phones, I got cases for them. I also got cases 
for my MP3 players. When I got my Nokia E71X, I decided that it was just 
too attractive to wrap in plastic, leather or silicon. I haven't used 
any cases since then. I take good care of my devices, keeping them in a 
pocket, brief case and so on. I don't think less of anyone who puts a 
case on their phone, but I just like the sleek elegance of the device, 
and I want to enjoy that instead of a 3rd party case.

RE: How many folks carry their iPhone without a case?

2013-05-29 Thread Ron Pelletier
Hi all,

My provider now offers to buy back my phone upon evaluation.  I was told I 
would get a good price if my phone is in top condition without nicks and 
scratches.  Although I was very lucky not to ever drop my phone in the 3 years 
I have had it, I still think minimal protection is good to have.  The glass 4 
and 4S can easily slide off a table if you bump it.  I realize that a drop from 
a desk or table would probably not kill the phone but it could nick it or even 
just scratch it.

This buy-back program did not exist when I purchased my phone but, am I ever 
happy I selected to protect my phone from minor accidents in order to get the 
best price for it.  Having said that, I also don't believe that its necessary 
to have a phone in an armor that doubles its size  unless you work on a 
construction site or something of a kind.

I guess its up to the individual circumstances.

Ron & Danvers

I don't like, are use cases either. People buy a nice new shiny expensive 
iPhone and then cover it up with the case. Just does that make sense to me. 
Takes away the nice looks of the iPhone.

I generally have the phone either in a briefcase or in my pocket. I don't 
worry about dropping it, but I'm just careful.

Subject: Re: How many folks carry their iPhone without a case?

I think one is living dangerously when using the iPhone without a case. The
iPhone 5 is not shatterproof!!  My sighted sister had hers in a pretty
little decorative case and one drop on the driveway shattered the glass.
Luckily, she had the insurance but it still cost her $200 out of pocket.
Now she has her phone in a big, ugly Defender case like mine.  I have
dropped my phone at least ten times in the last 6 months since it is always
on my person and pockets for women's clothing are not always secure.   I do
not think it would have survived so well if I did not have the defender
case.
My investment in the phone is too great to take chances. As a person with
extremely limited vision the probability of my knocking the phone to the
floor is great.
It only takes that one time in a thousand when one's attention slips or just
plain bad luck.  So unless you are wealthy enough to replace the phone
easily my advice is to put it in a very protective case.
I don't think putting it in a case makes it that much harder to use.  I have
the defender case and the Speed Dots face cover as well.
Just my opinion.

When the salesman handed me the iPhone 5, I was blown away by the feel, and 
considered not getting a case at all. But after a short time, it seemed that 
it was beginning to slide around in my hand, so i bought a very basic case 
that makes it easier to hold, but doesn't really destroy that neat feel.

Re: How many folks carry their iPhone without a case?

2013-05-29 Thread Cara Quinn
Me too,

I use my 5 naked. ;) No cases here…

I do carry the phone in my purse when in transit and use it for work / personal 
every day so when not in my purse, it's always out and about. :) When at work 
it's always plugged into my Mac for development so it is always charging as 
well.

For myself, I both like the Mophi products as well as the Bumpers from Apple.

I did use a Bumper on my 4 and 4S and a Mophi Juicepack Air for my 3GS.

For the 5, I've thought of also getting a Bumper but just haven't gotten 'round 
to it yet. :) I think the Bumpers are a great idea as they don't compromise the 
phone's appearance and do keep it from accidentally sliding off of a table etc.

As well, I do agree with others here that using a case is cool too. Since the 
iDevices are really important life-changing little beasties, I.E. since your 
phone is valuable to you for more reasons than just the convenience of having a 
phone, being careful is certainly a wise idea. :)

For now though I just use it without a case.

HTH

A lanyard, was Re: How many folks carry their iPhone without a case?

2013-05-29 Thread Mária Orovčíková

Hi list,
it has been very interesting discussion.
When I got my Iphone I did not use it until I got my Otterbox deffender 
case.
I did not want to use Iphone without a case because when I had Nokia 
phones, I had them without a case and I dropped them by accident quite 
often. I do not want to have it happen with Iphone.
Since I got Otterbox deffender case, I feel my Iphone is very well 
protected.
Very interesting is that I've had Iphone for more than two years and 
I've not dropped it with Otterbox deffender yet, but I am not saying it 
will never happen.
As for wearing Iphone, I've purchased a very cheap lanyard recently, so 
I can wear Iphone on my neck.
For those who might be interested, I got it for two U.S. dollars 
including free shipping from this website:

www.dealextreme.com
It is the website offering gadgets and useful things.
The prices for some products are really low and they offer free shipping 
to most countries including U.S, UK, Canada and other countries.
What people might not like about it is the fact that the website is 
provided in China and some people have doubts and prejudices about 
products quality.
I would be hesitant to purchase things like chargers, cables or 
batteries from them, although I have heard people saying they are 
satisfied with these products as well.
The lanyard I have purchased is what I expected it to be. It also fits 
with Otterbox deffender case.

Here is what they say about the lanyard:
30 Pin Connector Carrying Strap for iPhone / iPad / iPod - Black (45cm)
Color: Black
Material: Plastic + silicone + aluminium alloy
Type: Apple 30Pin Gadgets
Compatible Models: iPad / iPhone / iPad
Features: The sturdy and durable lanyard can hang the gadgets with your 
iPhone / iPad / iPod.

OtherInstructions:
1. plug the connector into the USB port of iPhone / iPad / iPod;
2. press the chips on the both end of the connector, it will be easily 
pulled out from your iPhone without any damage to the port;

3.the length of the lanyard is adjustable.

Unfortunately, the strap is made only for 30 Pin connector I-devices; it 
means it does not fit with iphone 5.

Sorry guys for my rambling and for off-topic e-mail. I just thought it 
might be of help.

Have a great day.

need it but, you'll be glad you have it if your phone does take a nasty spill.

Re: How many folks carry their iPhone without a case?

2013-05-28 Thread Ricardo Walker
Hi,

It really depends on how much time and mental energy you are willing to devote 
to keep your iPhone safe.  It also depends on if you plan on reselling your 
phone.  Without a case, I think its almost impossible to keep your phone from 
accumulating some minor scratches, and general ware and tare.  A case often 
protects from this kind of damage.

Re: How many folks carry their iPhone without a case?

2013-05-28 Thread Jodie Hoger
Hi. I'm not that brave - smile. I am pretty tough on my phone as I use it for 
both work and leisure which also means I rrun out of juice early afternoon so I 
have a juice pack case which both protects the phone and charges it up when 
needed. It's a  bit bulky but that's the trade off.
Best, 
Jo

I don't use a case for my iPhone. Here's a funny article on whether you 
need a case for your iPhone or not:
