IPhone's Best "Case" Scenario  (The quest for protection)

Many of us are trying to find that best case, so I thought this follow-up would be helpful.
I have owned the iSkin Revo case for iPhone for nearly 2 months (http://www.iskin.com/). Basically, the case has really worked great for me. It has 3 parts, the case, a non-glare/privacy film screen cover and a plastic screen protector that snaps on the front of the phone to protect it from heavier impacts.
- The case has really held up great and protected the phone well. It has stayed true to form and has not become stretched out. Unlike some other cases, dust and other particles have NOT scratched the bezel. I've dropped the phone only a couple times--once face down on my coffee table--and the sides of the case helped prevent the thing we worry about doing most: cracking the glass.
- I hesitated using the anti-glare film, but have gotten used to it and feel the minimal loss of resolution is worth the extra protection to the glass. I'm probably going to pull the film later this month and see what I like better.
- The plastic cover, while a great idea, is not really practical for me. Yes, it snaps off and can be placed on the back securely, but I end up leaving it behind. It's really just added bulk.
I'd like to read some follow-ups on some of the other cases people have purchased. Let's start a fresh thread with people's experiences. The ones I read here really helped me. Thanks for posting!

I had one of the Incase rubber cases and stopped using it because of all the crud that would find its way into the case, and my iPhone is now a bit scuffed up because of it after only a couple of weeks.
I no longer use a case for it anymore. I think a large part of what makes the iPhone so great is how sleak and clean looking it is. I have it in my pocket most of the time, and make an effort not to put my keys or anything else in that particular pocket.
I do use the Incase Leather Folio clipped to my belt while I am at work to protect it from getting smashed in my pocket (part of my job is bumping into a lot of things, and leaning in ways that I worry would cause undue pressure on the phone).
I'm not a fan of any phone being worn on a belt, people act like its a fashion accessory. But while at work it is a practical way to keep my phone on me. I can't leave it in my car because it gets way too hot during the summer.
Outside of work however, I like my sleek, attractive, case-less iPhone.

  • HT4623 how long will take to install the new update on my iphone, it has been at the same % for a hour.

    How long does it take to install the new iphone update, my iphone is been stuck at the same % for over a hour.

    The update should not take more than 5 minutes to download and update.
    I would recommended pressing on the sleep/wake button for a few seconds untill you see the 'slide to shut down' bar. Shut the device down and try again.

  • Can calendar entries from an iPhone be pushed up to the cloud for iPad and computer updating? My phone only seems to be receiving updates from the cloud, but not able to send them.

    Can calendar entries from an iPhone be pushed up to the cloud for iPad and computer updating? My phone only seems to be receiving updates from the cloud, but not able to send them.

    Under Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars, What do you have set for the Default Calendar? Personal?
    If you don't have it set to a Cloud Calendar it will only create the entry locally.   You would need to select the iCloud Calendar specifically when creating the Calendar entry to have it sync.
    Otherwise set your default calendar to be the iCloud Calendar so all entries are created there by default. And as such get synced to other devices.

  • IPhone 3gs - Best Case to prevent signal loss

    Hello...
    I have been suffering from signal loss on my iPhone 3gs for ages.
    Can anyone advise me on the best case to buy to prevent this?
    Thanks

    I've been having the same problem with my service as well. At least 3x a day i go to check my phone and I get the screen that I can only make 911 calls so i have to switch it off and then back on (which is not really a big deal, it's just a nuisance b/c people who have been trying to reach me can't get through). I've called AT&T and they say there's nothing wrong with the signal blah, blah, blah and I've changed my SIM card but I still have a problem. Apple has changed my phone but I still have this problem. I don't know if it's my specific area or not b/c others in my area don't seem to have this problem either. I was beginning to wonder if it was the case also until I found your post. Very strange.

  • Songs I purchased on my iPhone not showing up in the cloud for download to my computer.

    I purchased songs on my iPhone yesterday, and last night on my Notebook computer I was able to download the songs from the cloud with no problems.  But today, on my Desktop computer, the songs do not even show that they are available in the cloud.  All 3 devices (iPhone, Notebook, and desktop) are authorized to the same account in the cloud and have the latest updates for itunes.  Under my account information, the songs show in my purchase history, they just are not in the cloud.
    Other songs I purchase last night on the notebook computer showed in the cloud and I was able to download them to both the iPhone and the Desktop.  But the songs purchased on the iPhone were not available to the Desktop.
    Is there a limit to the number of devices a song can be downloaded to if purchased on the iPhone?  or is there a problem with these songs that Apple needs to fix for me? 

    Sounds like you're using iTunes Match. Is there a cloud icon next to the name of the song?  If yes you need not worry, those songs aren't actually on your device it just means you can download them to it.

  • IPhone 6 plus deliver on the 19th for preorder on the 12th at 3:10am?

    I Placed my order at 3:10am on the 12th for iphone 6 plus gold 128 gig. I had a deliver by of the 19th at the end of placing the order. The order status has no date listed. Called customer service and was told no one is getting a delivery on the 19th but they will be shipped at the earliest on the 19th for 2nd day delivery. called back and other CS said delivery on the 19th. Are any preorders done at 3 to 3:30am on the 12th being delivered on the 19th?

    Do yourself a favor, and don't listen to anything the Verizon representative tell you. Last night and this morning there was a big influx of shipments for the 128 iPhone 6+. On MacRumors and on this forum, multiple people were boosting their tracking information for that model for delivery on the 19th. Don't listen to any of the crap they tell you.

  • Iphone 5 is not saving the passwords for wifi

    I have the problem every time i shut of the wifi or i'm out the the signal of the wifi connection.
    When i re-enter my house or when i turn on the wifi i need to make connection the manual way with the password.
    My iphone 4 S saved a the wifi password by it self but i can think of what im doing wrong with this 5
    please help

    Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.
    Also, ensure there is actually storage capacity on the device available to save those pictures.
    Use the device as designed, copy those 926 pictures off the device to a computer for safe keeping.  Then delete them from the Camera Roll and sync back only the one's you want/need on the device.

  • The quest for real estate (USB- monitor question)

    The short question:
    Any advice or gotchas regarding USB->External Monitor adaptors?  Especially, if the monitor accepts both VGA and DVI, which type of adaptor would be better for performance?  Advice about brands/models is also welcome, but I live in Japan, so I may not have easy access to the same stuff as you.
    The details:
    The need for more frequent travel is forcing me to transition from desktop to laptop life for the first time ever.  But when I'm at home or in one place for awhile I want to "pretend it's a desktop" - with an external mouse, keyboard, speakers, and two 19" monitors for video editing (in that situation I don't really care about the screen on the laptop itself - it doesn't match the shape, size, and color tone of the others anyway).  Unfortunately, the laptop I bought (this Acer) only has one HDMI port - no DVI or VGA.  The monitors I own can do either DVI or VGA.  I bought a cable to convert from HDMI to DVI for one of them - so far, so good (I haven't tried using it for PPro yet, but I assume it would be fine).  But the question is what to do about the second external monitor.  Apparently I can get an adaptor for around $50-80 to go from USB3.0 to either VGA or DVI with a driver to tell Windows what is going on, but some comments on the web say that video play is choppy - that would not bode well for editing work.  One guy said that he got a USB->DVI adaptor and had performance troubles, and traded it in for a USB->VGA one that worked better, but I would have assumed the opposite or no difference at all, so I'd like to know what you smart Adobe users think.
    I also considered getting a dual monitor docking station like this Kensington and have the convenience of everything on one connection.  But I don't know if having both monitors on one USB3.0 interface is asking too much of it, and the price tag is a bit high.  If it has some sort of performance boosting hardware in it, that would be great, but the specs don't seem to mention it.  But maybe it doesn't matter.  I am a novice regarding graphics hardware and its related interfaces, so any advice is appreciated.

    why are you using 2 monitors instead of the laptop panel and 1 monitor?
    Because the laptop display is smaller, a different aspect ratio, and a different color tone (I tried adjusting them to match each other to no avail - they are apparently completely different display technologies).  Also, I like having a long timeline in PPro that runs across the two displays, but that only makes sense if the two displays are the same height and resolution.  Currently I arrange the second monitor above the laptop, not beside it, because the widths are much more similar than the heights.
    However the latency and software with the USB video adapters have not been great and all the experience I have had with clients has required them to remove the adapters when using an editing application.
      Well, the whole point of doing this is for PPro (for other uses, mismatched displays work okay), so if latency kills me, I'll return the adaptor and hate laptop life, I guess... Seriously, if the latency is so bad that I can't use it even with PPro panels arranged per JEShort01's suggestion, I don't know what my next move would be.  I could try to arrange my PPro panels with this vertical inboard-external display combo, but I think the colors, resolution, etc. will forever be disorienting.  I know that many people use PPro on laptops, but having gotten used to my desktop with dual 19"-ers, I have trouble imaging how they survive...
    If the DVI is digital then you have better specifications than DVI Analog.
    I've never heard of DVI Analog (I thought the D in DVI stood for Digital) and have no idea which kind is in the back on my monitors.  But I have seen these monitors when connected via both types of connectors and there is not any perceptible visual difference, if that is what you are asking.
    However the posts you have seen regarding VGA would be accurate since VGA is analog and doesn't require the digital hand shake.
    Aha!  That's the sort of nuts-and-bolts info I didn't know and was hoping for.  To sum it up, you're saying that in your experience USB display adaptors in general have trouble with internal latency, but between the two interfaces, VGA has a bit less overhead.  Okay, I'll try VGA in a reputable brand and test thoroughly.  I'll buy it at my favorite huge chain store that has good return policies, and I'll report back.

  • The best case and screen protector for the iPad 4 Retina?

    I have just purchased an iPad for my parents as a surprise gift and it should be arriving this Friday. I am quite stumped however on deciding on what case do I put this iPad in and what screen protector do I put on the iPad.
    For screen protection: I have seen a few videos and it seems like the ZAGG HD Screen Protector is a good way to protect the screen and enjoy the retina display. Does anyone have another opinion?
    For cases: I was thinking of this case: Besdata Ultra Thin Magnetic Smart Cover & Back (http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00CB7QGGM/ref=oh_details_o00__i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) Does anyone recommend it? I also thought of getting a case to cover the back and pairing that up with the Apple Smart Cover .. Does anyone recommend doing that and can anyone recommend back covers?
    Sorry for all the questions but I want to have this iPad perfectly set up as a surprise for my parents this Friday.
    Thanks in advance.

    I also thought of getting a case to cover the back and pairing that up with the Apple Smart Cover
    Why not get the Smart Case, a case and cover in one? And with a cover, you don't really need a screen protector. Well, at least I don't.

  • I have updated itunes to 10.5 and it has wiped my iphone 4 and just has the symbols for everything on the left bar but cannot do anything HELP!!!!!

    I have updated itunes to 10.5 then without looking at the store or anything synced my phone, it then said IOS 5 was availible so I just did the "download and upgrade" option as usual. I now have the phone connected to itunes and it just´says Iphone on the left bar and when I click on that the large window just says the same, it will not let me restore my phone or access the store. The phone is just saying connect to itune, which it already is and will not allow me to my home screen. I have no idea what to do but am desperate for my phone for work. PLEASE HELP!!!

    It took about an hour to upgrade my iphone. You're also left a couple of times with a blank screen on the iphone whilst it does things in the background which is a bit confusing. Suggest you wait - it starts doing things again (like reload your apps and then your photos etc) after you think it's finished. It's finished only when it says it is.....

  • Cannot backup iPhone 3GS. Error Message: iTunes could not backup iPhone because iPhone Disconnected. What is the fix for this problem?

    Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me find a solution to my problem.
    When a backup is attempted, it starts off as if it's working, then stops and the following error message appears: "iTunes could not backup iPhone because the iPhone disconnected". But, the iPhone doesn't really disconnect! It must be some type of internal glitch.
    The iPhone is a 3GS and I have mostly pictures and contacts, two songs, a total of 33 apps. The iOS is updated (6.1.6). I do not know if this phone was ever jailbroke. I have been able to backup this phone before, but cannot now. The last backup was 9/21/13, it is now 3/2/14.
    Sorry if there is too much info, or not the correct info to find a solution!
    Also, I must say that although I am not a tekkie, I've seen many different types of various programs and I find that iTunes is not very intuitive...don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, just my humble opinion.
    Thank You,
    Camp917

    Hey Lawrence,
    A big THANK YOU!! to you! Your suggestions worked!
    Before I changed USB ports (more on that in a sec...), I employed one of your suggestions that you gave to someone else with the same problem...and that was to clean the connector on the bottom of the phone with a soft dry tooth brush. I couldn't believe the amount of lint that came out! Especially what was found in either end...had to do some very careful picking. (Almost enough lint to knit a small sweater!!)
    Changing the USB port was the second and final step required for a successful backup. My computer is a laptop, and I did have a USB Bluetooth adapter (for another device) installed. I removed  the adapter, plugged the iPhone into that USB port, crossed my fingers...and it worked!!!
    Now if I can figure out the rest of this darn program, I might upgrade to a new iPhone!
    Again, thank you very much Lawrence!

  • The quest for a good multi-source video workflow

    I frequently have to mix together several sources, and the Multi-Camera Source Sequence in Premiere Pro should in theory be the best way to go.
    However, it's seriously underdeveloped and for a single camera with separate audio, I end up doing a sequence instead.
    Mix and scrub audio in Audition, tag and comment source video in Prelude, import both to Premiere Pro and put them together on a sequence so I can use that sewuence as a source for other sequences.
    Why don't I use a multi-camera sequence? Because you have to tag syncronization points before you put everything together, because audio and video is often recorded out of sync, with several video recordings per audio recording etcetera. It ends up a mess. We don't live in an ideal world, and not wanting to waste time (and make the talent lose focus) organizing things, recording happens pretty much on the fly with all that includes in differing methods, ideals and so on. We need to know how to cut resources (and this includes not using the most exåensive editing tools) but there's always room for improvements.
    I like to slap everything loosely together post-production and fine-sync on audio waves on the run, but this means you can adjust the multi-camera source sequence after you have put it together.
    This isn't possible in Premiere Pro, at least not without putting it into a sequrnce first and that's the next step you want to do after all the syncronizing is done, not something you want to while cutting up the sources in a sequence.
    I believe most of what I need for this is already programmed but it's mostly a matter of politics. Just please understand, synchronizing and preparing sources is different from working with a sequence, but it can be a substantial piece of work on it's own and it's not enough to just put it together in a menu and think that's all fine. (And not by far at that.)
    What I need is to be able to edit a multi-camera source sewuence on a timeline like I would edit any other sequence. And call it a multi-source sequence, it isn't just video.
    Then audio from different sources can be mixed together on the timeline like you do in a sequence, expoerted to audition as a multi-track session for more advanced audio processing (and no, single tracks aren't enough, I often need the real-time effects in audition not just the processing of whole tracks. And I mix together several audio sources, both mono and stereo tracks some from cameras but mostly from a separate, 24-bit audio recorder with inputs from hand or tie mics, environment and perhaps a gun with a boom. (I'm the audio guy with perhaps a camera on the side, others handle the main camera(s).
    And video from several cameras can be put together, one track per camera on a timeline and not just one clip per track, one camera can have several clips taken on a timeline.
    Then, when all this is put together it can be used as a source, like we use a multi-camera sequence today.
    I believe it's possible, and would increase the value of your offers. If this isn't done, I may end up looking for other software.

    I just updated my iPhone 4s to IOS 7 and now all my icons for apps I had previously downloaded B4 the upgrade dont show on my home screen,does anyone know what happen and how I can get the icons back on my screen??

    Apps are in iTunes, are not part of the backup and when you updated the phone, you need to sync that content back.
