And yet, Wallet/clutch cases are in fact growing popular, and are asked for by customers.

I have had NO ISSUE at all with puttling mine (DNA CASE and all) into the Michael Kors clutch.

The iPhone 4 & 4S have a harden backs and fronts to reduce minor damage. Very few cases will protect a iPhone from a three foot fall (25g's). So pick a case rated for > 25g's. It is more than likely going to add bulk and weight.

I have a Lifeproof case but it is still in the box because I love my Third Rail case too much to switch! It works really well, I never plug in my iPhone, so it is with me, untethered by a cord, day and night. I just plug in my Third Rail battery when it is not busy charging up my iPhone. I have two of their batteries and the system works great. http://www.thirdrailmobility.com/ . I'm pretty sure I learned about them on this list.

Now that's pretty dang decent!

It calls for a trip to Tar-shay or Best buy to check it out.

Even if *I* do not buy it, I can tell my customers about it. SHA-WEET!

Yes that is cool. But gonna stick with my LifeProof to ensure I never get it wet and fry it.

I also carry a ZAGG external battery pack with me in case I run low on juice.

I had a Mophie Juice Pack on my iPhone 3GS and loved it. It added a little more bulk, but rounded the shape a bit so it made it easier for me to hold. It also added battery life to the phone. I just got my 4S, and I bought an OtterBox Commuter at the AT&T store. It is fairly small, and comes with a screen cover. It isn't too bulky, an seems to work quite well, but it doesn't add any battery life. We'll see how it goes. My daughter seems to like the OtterBox.

I have to give a testimonial on the Mophie - I accidentally ran over my 3GS with my 200 pound power wheelchair, and my phone still worked! No cracks, no chips, nothing. You can't get much better than that!!

Push and hold the home button and the sleep button on the top right until the apple shows up on the screen, approximately 5 seconds.

Not sure if this applies to the iPhones but if you bought all the black ones at the same time it could have been a bad batch of digitizers from the manufacturer. Just one theory.

My other thought could be, are your hands really cold when having issues? I have heard with other touch screen devices that if a person is out in the cold and thier hands get really cold the device doesnt recognize touch gestures as well.

My SIL, niece and I are all having problems with the touch on our iPhone. Sometimes it doesn't respond to our touch. We all have had it where we can't even hang up from someone. Other times, it seems to work very easily and we are opening apps when we really don't want to. My brother and his son who have the black phone are having no such problems. Is this a common problem with the iPhone 4? And is there any connection with the fact that the 3 of us who are having problems have a white phone and the two who aren't have a black or would that just be a coincidence? I appreciate any insight you can offer as we are wondering if we have bad phones or if this is just how the iPhone is. Thanks for any help.

Re: Apple iPhone spontaneously combusts aboard flight in Australia

I had an iPhone battery catch fire at my office when I was repairing it.
Happened while I was trying to remove the battery.

Prior to that I had worked on about 75 iPhone 4 units so i am pretty sure it wasnt all my fault. LOL

Worked on about 100 since and hasn't happened.

I will tell you this, once that battery shorts and starts to smoke let it do its thing.

I've go pics of it as well.

spontaneously combusts aboard flight in Australia via BGR: The Three
Biggest Letters In Tech by Zach Epstein on 11/28/11

An Apple iPhone spontaneously began smoking and emitting a red glow
while aboard an airplane in Australia. Passengers aboard Regional
Express flight ZL319 were welcomed to their destination in Sydney,
Australia on Friday by a frightening ordeal. According to the airline,
a passenger's iPhone began "emitting a significant amount of dense
smoke" shortly after the flight landed, and the smoke was accompanied
by a red glow. A flight attendant extinguished the device and no
passengers or airline staff were injured according to the airline. The
phone in question appears to be an iPhone 4 (pictured above) as opposed
to the new iPhone 4S model, and it has been collected by the Australian
Transport Safety Bureau as part of its investigation. Regional Express'
full press release follows below.
MEDIA RELEASE MOBILE PHONE SELF COMBUSTION
Regional Express (Rex) flight ZL319 operating from Lismore to Sydney
today had an occurrence after landing, when a passenger's mobile phone
started emitting a significant amount of dense smoke accompanied by a
red glow.

In accordance with company standard safety procedures, the Flight
Attendant carried out recovery actions immediately and the red glow was
extinguished successfully.

All passengers and crew on board were unharmed.

The matter has been reported to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau
(ATSB) as well as the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) for
investigation and directions.

The mobile phone in question appears to be an Apple iPhone (see picture
below) and has been handed over to ATSB for analysis.

I've also seen lithium ion batteries explode for no rhyme or reason. It's not often though.

Yes, it is the one (hugpug@aol.com). IF you decide to get it be sure to follow all the instructional videos on the website's links(they're all on YouTube). That way you "test" the case BEFORE putting your valuable iPhone in it! Also, each time after it is dropped be sure to water test just the case, before putting the phone back in it so you know you are water proofed! Good Luck!
