iPhone 4

does it collect fabric when you put it in your pocket? that's one thing i'm concerned about rubber cases

I don't have one of the Colors yet so I don't know, the Nude is not rubber though.

Hmm. Is it hard enough to pry off that one might scratch the glass on the back of the phone? I had some clear intec case on my 3G, scratched the silver apple on the first day.

No, if you did that, then I don't know what the fuck. It just attaches itself to the phone in a way that you have to take it off a certain way - this way it doesn't just pop off or come off by itself. Unless you take it off the right way, the buttons will hold it into place and it will not come off without real effort.

I got the clear. Case is really super thin, but feels protective. In fact the feel in your hand is very good.

How is the front shield for the phone? well if u could compare it to InvisiShield

I haven't used an InvisiShield before, so can't compare. But the front screen protector provided is basically your same average protector that just about every case maker provides. Standard adhesive type.

HAHAHAHHA!!!! HTC claiming that the "death grip" issue is:

poor reception and dropped calls due to improperly holding a phone aren't as widespread and universal as Apple made them appear to be. Hui-Meng Cheng, the company's CFO, said that "the reception problems are certainly not common among smartphones." Adding that Apple should correct its design flaws and leave competitors out of the argument, Cheng concluded that Apple "apparently didn't give operators enough time to test the phone."

However this was found in the handbook for the HTC Droid Eris:

I really think the whole thing is because it's Apple. Nexus One had the same thing, Captivate has it, etc.

It's not necessarily just because it's "Apple," it's how they've been handling it. "Hold Different," then just ignoring the issue, and now saying that every other manufacturer has this problem. I think there was also the usual underhanded "It's AT&Ts network" jab made during the presser on Friday.

Well, that's partly it. The main reason this all came out now is because you had like 3 million phones all being analyzed at once, compared to 300,000 droids. It's not that it's some sort of new issue, it's just the sheer hype and size of the release brought it out. And as anandtech testing showed, even in the slightly less signal strength, the outer band really does work in the fact that the signal quality (far more important) was better than 3GS or Droid.


Funny part, is you know ever other phone maker is now going to be forced to scramble on all their new phones, as every phone released now will be tested highly on their "death grip." I dunno what the next Droid phone is being designed, but I bet the minute the whole "death grip" issue came up, they went scrambling to see what they could do on their design.

[Krandor]

Verizon/Motorola already advertised the Droid X as being able to make calls no matter how you hold it.

Of course they didn't advertise the phone bricking when you try to root it, but hey.

[Zeh]

I'll agree with how jobs handled it was just totally condescending and douchey. No excuse for that kind of attitude.

The Talking Tom Cat app is fucking hilarious.

Firefox Home app for Iphone is out.

So far so good. Although I was expecting an actual browser ;(

Ordering a clear switcheasy.... still debating about getting a black one, but clear looks the most natural, I think.

End of the month for White.

And apparently Steve doesn't feel the need to apologize to investors for Apple's stock dropping 25 bucks since they released the iPhone 4

And why would he apologize?

When an information is announced or a new product is released that has been already expected by the market the stock prices will not rise. Stock prices will only rise if the announcement or a release is completely new and no signs were seen previously (literally, not possible for any known company unless you've got inside information).

Sometimes an individual stock price declines even when you announce good news. If the product or the information falls behind the expectations of the market, they'll decline. Will this hurt the investors? No. Because iPhone was widely expected even by random people without internet/water/phone living in jungles. Announcement of iPhone or other products are simply not a method of investment for people. Read: Efficient Market Hypothesis.

A smart investing strategy is a "buy and hold" one. I don't think smart investors have anything to complain here.

In recent years...

%500+ increase for Apple.

%50~ decrease for other tech companies.

[Krandor]

Right because selling 3 million iPhones is obviously bad for business and is the obvious source of their stock dropping, not Job's and Apple's ridiculous PR nightmare in the wake.

I think being a douchebag in public and causing the stock to drop is grounds for an apology, long term or not.

this guy isn't very pleased with the Nude

lmfao

[Natallon]

Chinese video is amazing

[Boyiee]

The bottom of the switcheasy nude isn't that sharp. Guy over exaggerates a lot about the case, but hey he got a video on youtube out of it.

[DAKPluto]

LOL, it is not sharp at all....

And mine is very secure in the case, lol. In fact I had a bitch of a time trying to get it OUT of the case.

Now, he is right on one thing, the case scratches easily. But also shows you what the case is protecting...

Only complaint I had was trying to open the packaging was like a freaking puzzle...

[Boyiee]

Same exact thing for me. Had a problem with the packaging lol, as well as trying to get it off the phone the first time was hard. There is a right and a wrong way to do it, lol.
