Use iPhone film as a temporary case

I'm most likely getting my i Phone tomorrow. The only thing is I'm not sure if I'll have enough money to also pick up a case for it. Is it possible to use the film that the iPhone comes with as a temporary case until I can purchase one? It would only be for a few days; or will the iPhone not function unless I take it off?

The film it comes wrapped in covers the front and the back. The back side of it won't stick on once its peeled, which will happen when it gets activated at the store. You could cut it free so that the front film will stay on. One thing to remember, carefully cut a hole in the film over the speaker opening above the screen so that you'll be able to hear. You should be able to use that front film for a bit, but it won't last too terribly long. But, it should cover the screen for you for a little while. There are cases as inexpensive as 24.95, so hopefully you'll be able to get something to protect your new iPhone. Hope that helps and enjoy your new phone!

  • IPhone 4 battery or solar-cases???

    Hello,
    Has anyone here used iPhone battery or solar-powered cases?
    Are they any good?
    Do they have adverse effects on the iPhone in anyway?
    Which brand would you consider to be best?
    I'm specifically interested in the iPhone 4.
    Cheers.

    Yes that is normal and is actually good for heavy gaming.

    Is it safe to use iphone 4 without a case

  • Video Screen dimming while filming using iPhone 6

    As you can see in this video..
    it seems as if a light was turned off while in fact nothing happened...
    And this has occured in several videos which i have filmed using iPhone 6
    http://youtu.be/jLms0KahOt4

    UPDATE
    So, after working with the guys at Apple, they were able to provide a solution.  Now I have no problems using Home Sharing with my iPhone 6 Plus!!!
    (I should add that I have the Linksys Advanced Dual-Band N Router (E2500))
    The issue was fixed by giving one of the wi-fi channels a different name, thus splitting the channels into 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.  Then, I connected my iPhone to one channel (2.4 GHz) and my MacBook Pro to the other channel (5GHz).  In this configuration, I have had no issues streaming my music and video.
    It seems that the problem is some kind of interference between both devices when using the same channel (i.e., when both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channel share the same name).

  • Has anyone used Zagg film as an ipad cover?

    Has anyone used Zagg film to protect your iPad? Did it work well?

    We have two iPods Touch and an iPhone with the Zagg protectors. They work fine. But I prefer the BodyGuardz back protector that I applied to my iPad 2 much better. The BG is smooth as a whistle, no tacky feel to it like the Zaggs.

  • I cant hear Voice during call after i upgrade 7.1 i use iPhone 4

    I cant hear Voice during call after i upgrade 7.1 i use iPhone 4

    Hey there Goesdhar,
    It sounds like you are not getting sounds from your receiver on your phone. I recommend the troubleshooting from the followint article named:
    iPhone: Receiver and call audio quality issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5196
    Increase the volume during the call.
    Make sure nothing is blocking the receiver. If you're using a protective case or display film, remove it and try again.
    Make sure nothing is plugged into the headphone jack or the dock connector.
    Check the receiver opening to see if it is clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush.
    Try another location with better signal. If the audio issue happens only when on a call, it could be due to the location.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or a car kit, try turning off Bluetooth on your device. Learn more about troubleshooting Bluetooth connections.
    Restart the iPhone.
    Make sure your device is up to date.
    If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, contact Apple Support.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • How can I use Iphone 4 as an mp3 player without a sim card until I get one?

    Hi,
    How can I use Iphone 4 as an mp3 player without a sim card until I get one? I just bought the phone and each time I try to switch it on to use the mp3 player, I cannot. It asks me to insert a sim card and I don't have a sim card yet. I was thinking I could use the mp3 player function of my phone until I buy a sim card.
    Thank you for your help in advance,

    Thank you, I understand, yeah, I knew that, my phone is factory unlocked and I am going home, which is obviously not in the States and I am thinking of buying a local carrier there. However, I still have 2 weeks before I leave and cannnot wait to start using my Iphone 4. I thought at least I could use the mp3 player function. So as far as I understand, I cannot activate it without a sim card. I have been using metropcs for about two years and it does not have a sim card. In this case, do I really not have another choice but wait for two weeks to listen to music? My Mp3 player just failed me and I really need to listen to music but on the other hand, while I can use my iphone as an mp3 player in two weeks, I don't want to spend more money on a new one. So, do you have another suggestion? For instance, can I use a friend's sim card to activate mine? Would this cause any trouble, when I go home and buy a local carrier? I think these questions might kinda sound weird to you, but first time with an Iphone, extremely excited to start using under my circumstances, I need help   thanks,

  • HT1267 I just got a used iPhone and I reset it but it won't show up in iTunes or my PC. The screen on the iPhone is showing me to connect to iTunes but I can't.

    I need help getting my used iPhone to show up on my PC or in iTunes. I have already removed iTunes and everything with it and then reinstalled it so far. Please help. Thanks

    have you tried reinstalling iTunes? because what I think it's happening is that your computer doesn't have the appropiate drivers needed for your iPhone, this drivers should've come with iTunes, but in your case, it probably didn't. So just try reinstalling iTunes or repairing it. It will help to know if your are on windows or mac

  • What's the reason for this message, "A server with the specified host name could not be found" ? I'm using iPhone 4s, 16gB, iOS 7.0.4

    I get a pop-up message saying "A server with the specified host name could not be found", whenever I try to access any streaming websites/apps or even WhatApp over Wi-Fi and I cannot access the specific THING for that moment, and I've tried switching Wi-Fi On and Off both in my Phone and also in the Router. I got an internet connection and a Wi-Fi router just before two days, and it's happening since. I got the internet speed around 80kbps and i can easily stream YouTube videos except sometimes, I receive that annoying message. I can't even browse the internet in Safari, which says "No Internet Connection"(Even though the Wi-Fi is connected), and I can access it after somewhile (say 10 minutes, it'll be perfectly alright). I use iPhone 4s. And everything about the internet connection is totally fine in my Computer, but not in my iPhone, as I've explained the issues, above. If there are any technical settings that I should change/modify, either on my computer(Windows 7 OS) or in my iPhone(iOS 7.0.4), PLEASE let me know
    I hope I've provided enough information for the reader to understand my point. (I apologize for my verbal mistakes, if there are )
    THANKS

    Hello Paneesh,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Wi-Fi on your iPhone 4s.  I recommend the following steps:
    Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
    Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
    Tap and Forget this Network.
    Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
    Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
    Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
    Update your device to the latest version of software.
    Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
    If the issue is still unresolved Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
    Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Check for sources of potential interference.
    Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings

  • Says I've reached the maximum of free accounts for my device. It's a used iPhone 4s. Trying to activate find my iPhone. Please help!?

    We bought our son a used iPhone 4s almost 2 years ago. It was recently lost, but we were lucky enough to get it back. As a precaution in case it's lost or stolen again I'm trying to activate find my iPhone, but it tells me I have to have iCloud. But iCloud keeps telling me I have reached the maximum number of free accounts for this device. We have never had an iCloud account, so I'm assuming it was from the original owner. I have no way of contacting this person anymore because their eBay account is no longer active. The phone was factory reset when we bought it, and we reset it again today trying to see if that would fix it, but he lost all his stuff for nothing. We also updated the software. Is there anything we can do about this? Or at least maybe a different app that can track a phone that doesn't require iCloud? I don't know anything about Apple devices. Thanks so much!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your mobile device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer.

  • How to time tag GPS in Aperture - using iPhone photos GPS

    hello guys
    I went to photo trip, now I need to geotag 1000 photos to multiple locations. Everytime I photographed I used Iphone to snap a gps coordinate.
    In Aperture, I clicked,
    Import gps data from Iphone.
    It succesfully recognized the right time and locations and they are displayed on the map.
    How do I tag the photos to time stamp automatically?

    I use an application on the iPhone/iPad that records the track and download the track. In my case, Navionics HD will record the position every few seconds and collects them in a track.
    In Aperture I load this track from the drop-down menu "GPS > Import GPS track".
    Now I can move the cursor along the track and see the times along the track.
    When I drag a photo to the track, it will show the offset between the capture time of the photo and the time of that position along the track. SO I can place it precisely by looking for the position with the least possible difference.
    When you drag multiple photos to the track, the time of the first selected photo should match the time you'll see on the track when you drop the pin.
    The second option "Import GPS from iPhone photos" is supposed to create a track like above, but I never got that to work.

  • How can I see from my contact who use iphone (ios 5) for contact with imessage?

    How can I see from my contact who use iphone (ios 5) for contact with imessage?

    Well, let take the personal service point of view : let say, I had two calendars on my iCloud account : one for work, one for my leisure activities.
    On my MacBook Pro that I use at home as well as at my office, I would want the two calendars to show and since I am alone in my office, I would want the alerts for both my work and my leisure activities to show (and make a sound at the same time).
    But on my iPad that I only use at home, I would only want my leisure activities alerts to show (and make a sound) and on my iPhone that I only use for work, I would only want my work alerts to show (and make a sound).
    That is a personal service that simply does not work.
    Why would Apple give us the opportunity to hide some calendars on certain devices but not allow us, on these same devices, to switch off the alerts linked to these calendars that we have chosen to hide ? Why having alerts of calendars that do not even show on these devices ?
    And I am an Apple fan since 1984, since the very first Mac. I still do believe Macs and Apple devices and/or software (iOS, OS X and others...) are much better and much more efficient than " Microsoft, Windows, Google and other Android devices and software.
    But that does not mean everything's perfect (and I find that quite normal).
    Nevertheless, in this case, letting alerts make a sound on a device where a specific calendar is not shown, that does not make any sense : when uncheking those calendars, the alerts linked to those calendars should be automatically switch off (but alerts should be able to work on the calendars that are shown.)

  • I used iphone 3gs iOS 6.1.6 why i can't open an application camera 360 ultimate

    I used iphone 3gs iOS 6.1.6 why i can't open an application camera 360 in my iphone

    Hello Kunmon,
    The following article provides some useful troubleshooting that can help get your iPhone's camera working correctly.
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
