Does iPhone 4S really need a case?

So I just bought an iPhone 4S, and I'm wondering if it really needs a case, or a screen protector, or both. It just looks so good without it.

No. A case will provide protection. How much depends on the case. A screen protector is supposed to provide protection against scratches. There is a debate on if this is necessary. Personnally I use a holster case and a clear plastic case that surrounds the back and sides. I also use a screen protector because it seems to reduce fingerprint smudges on the screen.

Does the iPhone 5 really need a case?

Does the iPhone 5 really need a case? ive been reading articles that says it doesn't, opinions please...

In that case (no pun intended), you may not need one. I agree, it does look and feel better without the case. I bought a clear case so it still shows off the design, but the problem is the case itself scratches easily.
It's your call. But I would say, if you are not worried about dropping the phone (with AppleCare+, a replacement is only $49 as you may know), you do not absolutely need a case.

Does iPhone 6 really need a screen protector?

Does the iPhone 6 really need a screen protector if the phone is in a case?

I put one on my iPad 2, largely cause it's an expensive toy and I want to keep it in good shape. I like knowing that if my niece plays 'mad birds' and gets grubby little fingerprints on it I am simply cleaning off a sheet of plastic, not the screen. I consider it an investment against the potential resell value whenever i replace it.
Like the others have said, personal choice.
I'd think if your device never leaves the living room table and is only used by adults in a controlled surrounding, then you probably have no need. But if you're carrying it around, using it anywhere, potentially sharing it with others then it may be a good idea.

Does a CQC really need a separate thread/event queue per instance?

Does a ContinousQueryCache really need a separate thread/event queue per instance?
Is it possible to get multiple cqc's to share a single event queue?

Test case to reproduce shown below, i.e. new thread per CQC.
Sample code:
=====================================
NamedCache dummyCache = CacheFactory.getCache("A");
dummyCache.put("hello", "B");
dummyCache.put("world", "C");
ContinuousQueryCache cqcA = new ContinuousQueryCache(dummyCache, new EqualsFilter("toString", "B"), new MultiplexingMapListener() {
@Override
protected void onMapEvent(MapEvent mapEvent) {
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName());
ContinuousQueryCache cqcB = new ContinuousQueryCache(dummyCache, new EqualsFilter("toString", "C"), new MultiplexingMapListener() {
@Override
protected void onMapEvent(MapEvent mapEvent) {
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName());
=================================
Output:
EventQueue:ContinuousQueryCache{Cache=A, Filter=EqualsFilter(.toString(), B)}
EventQueue:ContinuousQueryCache{Cache=A, Filter=EqualsFilter(.toString(), C)}
=================================

Does it really need a case?

Hi Everyone,
just ordered a 6 plus and I can't wait to get it!
my 4s is in pristine condition after 2,5 years of constant use and it has always been protected (only?) with a front and back films. a few months ago I switched a tempered glass for my screen. very happy with it.
now, I'd love to enjoy the look and feel of the 6 plus I just ordered as I have until now with my 4s (and 3g before that) but the net makes it sound like has to be placed in a super protective case.
would love to hear your real life experience of day to day with the device and what kind of protection it really needs. I never needed a case before.
Cheers!

pincpanter's is a good solution. Beat me to it while I was away building an example. Similiar approach using two for loops and case statement. Here is my suggestion anyway....
cheers

Itunes won't detect my iphone!really need help!!!!:/

hello everyone!my problem is a serious one:/ so,i got my iphone hacked about half an year ago and it has been making me problems recently,that's why i decided to remove my jailbreak!i went to the settings of the iphone and clicked erase data&settings,it didn't do anything,i did it twice-the same,no result.so i decided to upgrade my version to the latest which is 6.1.3 i think or 6.0.3.however,when i did half of the update,a picture appeared on the phone showing i must connect my phone to itunes,BUT there is 1 big problem here.my iphone port had been broken and i can't connect it with my computer,although it can charge in the computer port and normally!so,i don't really get why my itunes can't detect my iphone......i tried everything...i really need help or i am not going to have my iphone normally working again.....://////////

Sorry, terms of service of the Apple Support Communities forbid us from helping jailbroken or hacked iPhones.
Hopefully your next iPhone will not be hacked or jailbroken.
Good luck.

Does my Battery Really Need Replacing?

I have a MacBook 13" (early 2008) that I bought sometime in the middle of 2008 and so is about four years old.
It works perfectly well. The battery still only takes a couple of hours to charge and I'm still getting four to five hours of life from it. I use it on battery power frequently and try not to leave it on the mains too long (after charging). I also calibrate it about once a month.
However despite all that, I'm told via my battery icon that my battery needs to be replaced soon. The only strange behaviour is that it doesn't always know it's fully charged. If I charge from near empty or empty (especially during calibration), it reaches 99% charge in the usual time, but then stays there permanently (with orange charge light). But if I take out the power and put it straight back in again, it instantly registers as 100% fully charged and I get a green light. Other than this, I haven't noticed any other unusual behaviour, and as I stated before I'm still getting excellent battery life out of it.
So my question is simply, do I really need to worry?
Thanks.

Check out this article on preserving your battery for as long as possible:

I think I saw somewhere that you should change your battery every 2 to 4 years.

Does a DSL really need a ISP?

I have a Login/pass for Qwest and for MSN. Do I need MSN to access the net?
I've only logged in once on MSN during setup. My modem uses the qwest login to connect not MSN's. I would like to drop MSN to save a few $$.

Does Qwest provide an e-mail account? That's the only thing I can think of that
MSN is providing that you might not get fro myour DSL provider. If you're happy with Yahoo mail or Gmail, then all the better.
Unless you're really hooked on MSN "content", your DSL connection should
suffice.

Iphone, i really need help, please if you REALLY!! know help me

hi, I want to buy an iPhone but i want to know if it is good, because i really want it, my question is: if i buy an iphone from united states can i use in Costa Rica? or ther is any dammage?
Thanks a lot!

An iPhone from the US will be carrier locked to AT&T. The phone can roam on ICE in Costa Rica, but the voice and data rates are very expensive. Also, calls while roaming are limited to within Costa Rica and to the US. In any event, AT&T will not activate an account for you unless you live in their service area. None of the phone's features will work until it is activated by AT&T.
At this time, the iPhone is not offered for sale in Costa Rica. Check this Apple article for changes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937
You should wait until the iPhone is available in your country or look at the linked article to find where you can buy an unlocked phone. Another thing to think about, the iPhone's warranty requires it be returned to the original country of purchase for service.
Have you looked at getting an iPod Touch? http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/ It has everything except the phone, camera and GPS. Cellular data is not possible but WiFi is.

What does a MAC really need to do justice to FCE and FCEHD?

I need to purchase a new laptop. I want to use it to prepare 45 min documentaries. The original video will have audio filmed with it. I will want to add more narration, music, more photos, ie. the works. I have been using iPhoto and find that video containing audio and background noise, plus added narration, photos, and background music limits me to 20-30 min DVDs before stuttering occurs. What hardware do I need to do a professional job?
G4 Dual 1 GHz BUS 133 MHz using an external hard drive for iMovie Mac OS X (10.4.8) all software updates
G4 Dual Mac OS X (10.3.9) all software updates

Hi(Bonjour)!
A laptop is not for professionnal video editing in a regular basis ( at least in your home editing room).
If you need absolutely the portability, that's Okay, but keep in mind that Hard Drives of laptop are slower than one in desktop machine. An external Hard Drive is recommended.
A desktop machine is less fragile, has more connectors on it and is generally faster that the "laptop" little brother (in a head to head comparaison at the same introducing date, the laptop are one generation behind ).
A desktop machine can be easily upgraded and the parts are less expensive.
A good mic is a must to catch good voice overs.

Does the iPhone need a case?

I'm getting my iPhone tomorrow and was just wondering, do they really need a case/screen protector? If so, would a hard case or silicon case be recommended?

do they really need a case/screen protector?
I use a C.E.O. Glide from Marware.
http://www.marware.com/PRODUCTS/iPhone-3g-cases/C-E-O-Glide-for-iPhone-3G
It over protection if my phone is in my pocket or brief case.
But when I actually use the phone, it's out of the sleeve in all in naked beauty!

What DB roles are REALLY needed by the applications?

During our upgrade, the security / database guys at my office want me to lockdown the db accounts for portal, publisher, collab, anaytics, etc (also services, notification, security...all the alui related databases). They say that dbo is too privileged and I need to figure out just what the applications need and give them access.
My question is...what does each account REALLY need? Some accounts create tables (analytics). Is it sufficient for those accounts to just be given CREATE TABLE privileges? Can every other account just be given normal CRUD access?

fair enough.
Ali, where did you find the SQL scripts for Collab? Is it someplace I can view easily?
One comment would be that of course it would be fine for these accounts to have DBO during upgrades, etc, if that is the only time when these 'creating views, indexes, and SP's' are used...

Then call AppleCare and talk to someone in account security.

I have my landline diverting to my iPhone. However, it does not distinguish whether the call has come from my diverted landline number. My old Nokia many years ago used to show an arrow symbol when it was a call thats source was diverted. I really need to know when a call has come from my landline so I can greet the caller in the appropriate way and also so I can be sufficiently short as I am getting charged for the call from my BT landline to my mobile.

That is not a feature that's available on the iPhone. Sorry.

Ok I really need help. I bought an unlocked iPhone at T-mobile and registered it at another cell phone provider. So my question is: Can I buy AppleCare Protection for my phone if my cell phone provider does not cell the iPhone?

The question is pretty self-explanatory. But I really do need an answer. I really need to know if I can buy AppleCare Protection after I purchased the iPhone outside of the Apple store??

I fyou can take your iPhone to an Apple store within 30 days (maybe less) of purchasing it, and provide tehm with proof of purchase, and let them evaluate that it is not damaged, you should be able to purchase an AppleCare+ program for it (assuming that your iPhone qualifies for AppleCare+).
I purchased my iPhone 5 at an AT&T store and then took it to an Apple store about 3 weeks later to purchase my AppleCare+ for it. Luckily I haven't needed it yet, but so far, it is still only 49 weeks old...
