Linus just get a bumper for it. I'm a minimalist and like a naked phone but finally relented and got a bumper. Pretty happy with it.

I looked at the Bumper but I want some a little more durable for the runs between airport gates, etc.

I did get another one so that will come this week.

Hrmm?

My old iphone has been naked for six months and tossed in literally dozens of airport bins throughout the world and never got scratched. The bumper keeps the surface of the iPhone off other surfaces so it should suffice. But that being said, get what you're comfy with.

Ya. I had someone else tell me that but given that this thing has glass front and back (see this article here) I have to be more cautious about it.

*shrug*

The front of the 3Gs is glass too. Six months, innumerable trips through security. Carried in pocket, in bag, in car. No scratches without any protection at all.

I've got the 4 too. Three trips through security since getting it on the 24th and no problems to date.

But, while I treat my belongings well I'm not the sort to wig out over protecting them with accoutrement.

But dropping and scratching, two different things. I know people who have had their iphone screens shatter for much less in cold weather.

Hope you find something that works for you.

I will. Right now it's finding a case.

One interesting side effect is that the screen is so bright they when I look at the TV it seems so dull and hard on the eyes. It's weird. I have to set the brightness to a very low setting otherwise my eyes are kinda wigged out. Quite honestly that's my only issue thus far.

Oh gads..

I spent today learning about iphones and all things scary..

I found it very amusing that me... the girl who does not have a cell phone, sort of hates cell phones, has spent the last year looking at cell phones knowing she probably needs to get one, but not really wanting one, would be the person someone called about their cell phone...

But then the job I really wanted called and said I could work for them and now I don't have to know anything about cell phones again...

Grin..

My Kasey has an ipod and a Droid, and feels that the ipod has much better apps and ease of use.

I have a phone that is 4 years old and no ipod, so I would be the last person to tell you if that is true....sad to say, but gadgets are not my thing.

Since my macbook pro was stolen, I decided to get a used one and not another pc. I've checked Apple's used/refurbished models, and they are way too high. Anyone have experience with purchasing used mac computers? You can PM me. I'm trying to find a few reliable sources.
Thanks

P.S. that was my first mac

I loved it. Once you have mac, you'll never go back ...
