The 3gs Defender case design was such that it required all four sides of the protector be cut in order to fit over the top, and the fact that there are already inconsistencies with the OtterBox cases not being uniform, we determined that it would not be possible or wise to sell them for the Defender case for 3gs. The Defender cases for the 4/4s are much easier to cut, and are designed more uniformly; so we can confidently sell them. I hope this makes sense.

Re: What Leo Laporte Had To Say About Fedora Outlier LLC And Social Media
Scott, Thank you sincerely for replying, firstly, for absolute clarity it is not my intention to start any form of mass criticism or, flaming, of you and what you said to Leo. I appreciate the full context and listened twice through before writing to the list. I'm still not completely in your line of thinking when it comes to phraseology over what is, and what is not, accessible, usable or operable by a blind user with a screen reader. Sure, Face Book, Twitter and Linked In all can be used, but this is with a major emphasis on can, and not, are easily, or, easily done so by the masses within the blind world. How for example do you even open an account with any of these three, the last time I checked, all three use screen capture, which even when offering an audio option, these are outrageously poor quality and to be frank, require the patience, not to mention hearing, of a god to manage to decipher. Now once you have your account opened, sure its possible, with time, patience, constant adapting and learning to figure how to use such services, but, they do very little to assist us, and I struggle to believe for a second that any of the major social networks have even considered our user group. Now, you rightly stat that this was not the purpose of your call to Leo's show, and, indeed again rightly that I myself am free to contact him. I have done so before on a range of issues, even to discuss Lemonade of all things. The thing that I take note, and to an extent, exception to, is in your tone and mannerism within the context of the conversation, what I heard was a blind person telling a hugely influential internet and online presence commentator that these services are all usable. now you and I may have one definition for usable, you might say that usable simply means, with a hole load of ball ache, and a huge degree of screen reader experience and knowledge you can use those services, but, to the wider population and sighted user, you can bet your bottom dollar that they took such phraseology and terminology to convey that these services are not only usable in the widest definition, but, with a modicum of ease and simplicity, such was the nature of your answer. This was just my view, and as a blind lobbyist and commentator on our community, not to mention someone who has a considerable experience in the internet industry, I believe quite strongly in this stance.

Is it true that some of these social networks are a bit problematic for us blind people to use? Yes they can be, but I think as a blind person that uses them on a daily basis that they are usable, and I believe that Leo's question was not if they were totally accessible, but if they were able to be used by blind people. Could I have gotten on my soapbox about some of the inaccessibility of some of these sites? I could have, but remember that this is a radio show and my time with Leo was coming to an end. Remember my call to Leo was to discuss using social networks to build an audience for our business that we are trying to get started, not to discuss whether or not we as blind people can use all of these sites. As for my answer that they are absolutely accessible, I meant that they are accessible in a general sense of the word, not that they are completely accessible. I hope that this clears it up a little, and if you want to talk about the inaccessibility of these services then you are more than welcome to give Leo a call yourself this weekend to talk to him about it.

Re: advantages and disadvantages of jailbreaking
The actual limitation of the ringtone length is in Itunes, not in iPhone. In jailbroken iPhone it is possible to copy a ringtone directly to /Library/Ringtones directory and iPhone will happily use any ringtone length. You still need to make sure, it is in m4r format (which is the same as m4a with last letter renamed). Just don't involve Itunes into this process and everything will be fine! :) Hope, it helps. Igor.

You might want to read over some of the recent jailbreak messages in the last couple of weeks because there was a thread where people posted a lot of why they like to jailbreak their phone. The messages can be found from the list archives, and the list archive Web address is found at the end of each message posted here. However to answer your question, one of the reasons I like to jailbreak is because I get access to a lot more tweaks and features to the iPhone that Apple normally doesn't allow you to do. For example, with a jailbroken iPhone I can integrate my Google voice number a lot more closely with the iPhone. I do not have to use a separate app to make phone calls. Another advantage is that I can use a schedule profile program so that my phone will automatically go into silent mode at a specified time. I can make it turn on or off Wi-Fi and or Bluetooth at specified times. I can change the theme of my phone to make it look like or sound like a Star Trek computer or a windows XP computer. I can make the music automatically stop playing when I disconnect the headphones and automatically resume playing when I connect the headphones. I can skip unlimited amount of times in the Pandora music player. And lastly, one of the most recent important ones, I can add and remove music from the iPhone without ever having to use iTunes. I can simply copy the music over as if my iPhone was a USB stick. -- Raul A.

Re: Jailbreak Podcast is finally ready to download!
Hi, I wrote yesterday about why this was a bad idea, but assuming you still want to do it, in summery, you should do the following: 1: Downgrade to iOs 5.0.1 using iether tiny umbrella or redsn0w. Note that you will need blobs for 5.0.1 otherwise it won't work; the exception to this is if you have the old bootrom 3GS which from memory can downgrade to anything, regardless of if you have blobs for it or not. 2: Jailbreak 5.0.1 and install Spire. 3: You now have 2 options, those being use someone elses Siri proxy or set one up yourself. Since using another proxy leaves you open to data theft I'll assume you're going to be creating your own. 4: On some form of Linux device that has internet access and that you can put on the DMZ or setup port forwarding exceptions for: 4.1: install a DNS server - I think most of the DNS people use bind. You need to block some apple hosts make them resolve to localhost so that the required 4S will use your Siri proxy. I've forgotten what the exact addresses are but they should be readily available. 4.2: Install Siri proxy. The authors name escapes me and he doesn't / didn't have an installer, so you'll have to pull it from his github account compile it yourself. 5: on an iPhone 4S, change the DNS to your DNS server. You'll be able to tell if you've done it correctly if the internet still works. 6: on your 3GS, under settings spire, change the proxy server to the one you setup earlier and you should be good to go. I really don't see the appeal of something like Siri on a non 4S device given the large amount of work involved in setting it up. If you're looking for something that can answer questions, try Evi.

Ariadne was: blind square location wrong
Funny you should mention that about Ariadne. I find it works extremely well. It is in fact the app I was referring to when I mentioned that some apps wold take their direction from the GPS rather than the compass, at least when there is sufficient movement to do so. I have a feeling that there is a toggle in the settings for this. I use the app to watch out for an approaching bus stop. Whilst the bus is stationary, the direction to the nearest favourite is correctly derived from the compass but as soon as the bus has sufficient movement, the direction to nearest fav is instead taken from the GPS. It is one of the really neat things about the app. Our buses have huge glass windows so the GPS is picked up very easily and the compass is always more accurate then I expect.

Re: Navigon -- I'm stuck in the map manager

Re: 7 iPad to Be Launch This Fall
Honestly I don't really get the point of a 7 inch iPad. Obviously they are going to target the mid range community there and probably make it somewhere around 2 to $300 so people who can't or don't need to pay ful price dont need o. This relates to the other topic about why people need an iPhone and iPad. Honestly what is the point of yet another device that does the same thing? Perhaps I am missing something though.

Revisiting the OtterBox Defender
Hi again, I mentioned a few days ago that my SpeedDots overlay for the OtterBox Defender was put on upside down, and Raul sent a very helpful e-mail saying that it could be reversed. Having not been the one to put my phone in this case in the first place, I'm wondering if someone could describe the process of getting the screen protector off. Specifically, I know I need to remove the rubber shell, the outside layer of protection. But do I need to also take my phone the rest of the way out of the hard shell case before removing the SpeedDots overlay? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Revisiting the OtterBox Defender
Hi Suzanne, Unless someone here has actually removed them and has had it go well, I can tell you it's not going to be an easy process. Yes, you do want to remove your phone from the case completely. You then need to remove the screen protector. The Otterboxes are tricky because you're applying our overlay on top of the plastic sorta screen protector that comes with the case. I can tell you that the display (the plastic screen protector on the Otterbox) does pop in and out. I would recommend popping that out, removing the overlay and re-sticking it properly, (after insuring the surface is clean,) and then putting the display back in place in the case. Then, you can put your phone back in. Hope this helps. Amy Billman Check out my company for your screen protector and phone accessory needs!

Re: Having trouble accessing my youtube account on my iPod touch and phone
I have a iPhone 4 and I have never had a problem like this before. As far as sharing options go there are only buttons for email and Twitter. In IOS 6 when Facebook is more integrated a button will be there but that does not do any good now. I suppose you could copy the URL then paste it into a Facebook status on your phone.

Re: Jailbreak Podcast is finally ready to download!
I don't have Siri but I know that you can't set calendar events or reminders with Eva. One of the big things that is missing is the hands free ability. With Siri you just hold the button and start talking and it talks back. With Eva you have to open the app, press the listen button, then scroll through the answers. Of course these are limitations put in place by apple. So there is nothing that can be done. Gotta watch those patent infringements ay know. Someone with Siri can probably talk more about this.

Note that you will need blobs for 5.0.1 otherwise it won't work; the exception to this is if you have the old bootrom 3GS which from memory can downgrade to anything, regardless of if you have blobs for it or not. 2: Jailbreak 5.0.1 and install Spire. 3: You now have 2 options, those being use someone elses Siri proxy or set one up yourself. Since using another proxy leaves you open to data theft I'll assume you're going to be creating your own. 4: On some form of Linux device that has internet access and that you can put on the DMZ or setup port forwarding exceptions for: 4.1: install a DNS server - I think most of the DNS people use bind. You need to block some apple hosts make them resolve to localhost so that the required 4S will use your Siri proxy. I've forgotten what the exact addresses are but they should be readily available. 4.2: Install Siri proxy. The authors name escapes me and he doesn't / didn't have an installer, so you'll have to pull it from his github account compile it yourself. 5: on an iPhone 4S, change the DNS to your DNS server. You'll be able to tell if you've done it correctly if the internet still works. 6: on your 3GS, under settings spire, change the proxy server to the one you setup earlier and you should be good to go. I really don't see the appeal of something like Siri on a non 4S device given the large amount of work involved in setting it up. If you're looking for something that can answer questions, try Evi.

Re: Two-finger double-tap Re: I have a few questions
When I first got my iPhone, I had a similar problem. It turns out I had a lazy finger, I think it was my thumb, and it would kind of droop down a bit and occasionally brush the screen during a gesture, changing the gesture altogether! I also found that the fingers holding the iPhone would occasionally wrap around to the front a bit too much and get picked up as another finger during a gesture. As Raul said, paying attention to this and practicing resolved these issues for me. On 10/07/12 09:12, Raul A. Gallegos wrote: Your fingers must be shaped oddly, smile. Seriously I've seen others have trouble with a 2-finger double-tap and if I could see how they do it perhaps I could offer a suggestion as to how they could adjust things.

Re: Pasting youtube links into a facebook status
Jen, Someone might have a faster way but I just tried this and it works. On the videos info screen where there are the related videos showing you will find a share button a little above the middle od the screen and a bit to the right. Click it and one of the options is to share via email. Once you press that it will open a new message with the link in it. MMove the VO cursor to the beginning of the link, access the rotor and select lines, then put two ingers together on the screen and slide the right away from the left to select the text. Once it is selected access the rotor again until you hear edit. From there flick up until you hear copy. copy the link and launch Facebook. Open a new status, click the text box, rotor to edit, click to paste, click it and your done. Ha ha this is the only way I know for sure on the iPhone. sorry it's not simple.

Hi, the impact case is less bulky, but I found that it tends to catch on things due to the nature of the rubber. This doesn't make the case bad, but it does have a bit of friction.

Re: windows xp sounds
Hi, if you have access to a windows xp computer you can do it yourself with the iRinger.exe program. 1. Go to c:\windows\media and copy which ever sounds you want to a temp folder. 2. Run iRinger and choose each sound file you want and export it to an mr4 file. iRinger can even iport it directly into iTunes for you. 3. Using iTunes, and your attached phone, go to the tones section in the device area and check the tones, or all tones you have and they should import and be available in the sound s section of settings. If you don't have iRinger, or don't know where to get it, you can use the following link to grab a copy. I did this with Super Mario sounds and various Star Trek computer sounds which I can make available for anyone who wants them. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7652029/iRinger.zip Thanks. -- Raul A.

Re: OtterBox impact case
Hi, actually neither. But not because I don't like Otter Box. In fact, I highly recommend them. I'm just a person who is a free spirit and likes trying new things and different things to experiment. So, I'm currently using some cases which are made of a tpu rubber, this is a bit of a harder rubber, and doesn't feel like the silicon rubber that the Impact case feels like. This means less friction, but also less catching on things like in the pocket. It also means a bit of less bulk. In fact, I just got an order for 9 tpu cases which are all different colors ranging from purple, to blue, to clear, to neon yellow. They don't cover the bottom part of the screen like the impact case from Otter Box does, but it does form-fit the phone very well and really let's it shine through. The nice thing about these cases is that you can put them on and take them off with ease, yet they stay on the phone very nicely. I also like the fact that I can go back to my impact case whenever I want. The one I don't use any more is the Defender case. I finally got tired of the bulk, but again, this isn't anything bad against Otter Box, since that's the purpose of the case. -- Raul A. Gallegos How do you write zero in Roman numerals?

Re: What Leo Laporte Had To Say About Fedora Outlier LLC And Social Media
Hi Neal, I completely understand your point of view on this matter, and I respect your input, but I still disagree with some of the things that you have said about my response to Leo's question as to whether or not social networks were usable by blind people. In my opinion these services are accessible to us. Does that mean that they are 100% accessible? No they probably aren't. I do believe that 100% accessibility is what we should all get just like our sighted counterparts, but it is my belief that this is a bit unrealistic. Remember we are a minority section of the population and these services really probably do not give the blind computer user a second thought, even though they should. As for your comment about setting up an account with one of these services, it is true that this can be a very aggravating thing for the blind user to do, but because of spammers this is not going to change. Are the audio screen Captchas awful? Of course they are, but they are designed that way for a reason, and that reason is not to make it harder for us blind users to sign up for their service, audio captchas are hard in an attempt to keep a robot computer from being able to sign up for these services. I know that you are probably aware of this, but I thought that just in case you weren't I would explain this. I would also like to have an easier way to solve these screen captchas but at the moment there really isn't a good solution, unless you use Web Vissum which is a Firefox extension you just have to do the best that you can with the captcha. I went back and listened to my conversation with Leo before writing this message in an attempt to see if I was missing something, but I still cannot see what it is that I said that you have an issue with. Could I have been a little less enthusiastic with my Absolutely remark? I guess so, but again, I was not on the radio to talk about the accessibility of these sites, and when Leo asked me the question as to whether these social networks are USABLE by blind people, I answered him with as honest an answer as I could think of right on the spot. One more thing that I would like to say on this matter is that I am not on the radio very often, so I was a little nervous, and Leo Laport is probably someone in the technology field that I really look up to and I was a little in awe of the fact that I was talking to him. I think that now we have said all that there is to say on this subject and I suggest that we just agree to disagree and move on.

I appreciate the full context and listened twice through before writing to the list. I'm still not completely in your line of thinking when it comes to phraseology over what is, and what is not, accessible, usable or operable by a blind user with a screen reader. Sure, Face Book, Twitter and Linked In all can be used, but this is with a major emphasis on can, and not, are easily, or, easily done so by the masses within the blind world. How for example do you even open an account with any of these three, the last time I checked, all three use screen capture, which even when offering an audio option, these are outrageously poor quality and to be frank, require the patience, not to mention hearing, of a god to manage to decipher. Now once you have your account opened, sure its possible, with time, patience, constant adapting and learning to figure how to use such services, but, they do very little to assist us, and I struggle to believe for a second that any of the major social networks have even considered our user group. Now, you rightly stat that this was not the purpose of your call to Leo's show, and, indeed again rightly that I myself am free to contact him. I have done so before on a range of issues, even to discuss Lemonade of all things. The thing that I take note, and to an extent, exception to, is in your tone and mannerism within the context of the conversation, what I heard was a blind person telling a hugely influential internet and online presence commentator that these services are all usable. now you and I may have one definition for usable, you might say that usable simply means, with a hole load of ball ache, and a huge degree of screen reader experience and knowledge you can use those services, but, to the wider population and sighted user, you can bet your bottom dollar that they took such phraseology and terminology to convey that these services are not only usable in the widest definition, but, with a modicum of ease and simplicity, such was the nature of your answer.

Re: OtterBox impact case
I've come to the conclusion that the iPhone is very-well made. In fact, I've seen people drop their phones with no protection and rarely a scratch. This is the 4 and 4S I'm talking about. However, glass being glass, if hit in just the right angle and right way, still can shatter. I wonder if the cases out there are more for show than for protection, but still, if it gives someone piece of mind, then they should get the best protection out there. If even one tiny scratch appears on the phone, you will easily lose $100 value when and if you try to resell it. When I had the 3GS phone it lived inside the Otter Box Defender case for 99% of its life, but I find with the 4S, that I'm not as paranoid. Not only that, but I want to have colorful cases and cases which show off the iPhone rather than hiding it. The TPU cases I mentioned are colorful and have either an s-pattern or circle pattern in back which go nicely with the over all design of the phone, and they provide some protection against dropage as well. That's my take on all this for what it's worth. -- Raul A.

Re: What Leo Laporte Had To Say About Fedora Outlier LLC And Social Media
Easy alternative to captcha is some problem the answer to which you re supposed to write in the edit box. What month comes after November? How much is 5 and 5? The way some of the networks use audio alternative, which works pretty fine in some cases, they may have problem solution kind of alternative aswell. Coming to the topic, social networks are not as intuitively accessible to us as they are to the people they are originally designed for. Is there a solution? With the popularity of Siri we will see many talk to type and voice commands options on the web. Once social networks start implementing them, we can live happily ever after. I can bet it will happen very soon. In next four years if not sooner. - Original Message - From: Scott Rumery blindfait...@gmail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2012 11:14 AM Subject: Re: What Leo Laporte Had To Say About Fedora Outlier LLC And Social Media Hi Neal, I completely understand your point of view on this matter, and I respect your input, but I still disagree with some of the things that you have said about my response to Leo's question as to whether or not social networks were usable by blind people. In my opinion these services are accessible to us. Does that mean that they are 100% accessible? No they probably aren't. I do believe that 100% accessibility is what we should all get just like our sighted counterparts, but it is my belief that this is a bit unrealistic. Remember we are a minority section of the population and these services really probably do not give the blind computer user a second thought, even though they should. As for your comment about setting up an account with one of these services, it is true that this can be a very aggravating thing for the blind user to do, but because of spammers this is not going to change. Are the audio screen Captchas awful? Of course they are, but they are designed that way for a reason, and that reason is not to make it harder for us blind users to sign up for their service, audio captchas are hard in an attempt to keep a robot computer from being able to sign up for these services. I know that you are probably aware of this, but I thought that just in case you weren't I would explain this. I would also like to have an easier way to solve these screen captchas but at the moment there really isn't a good solution, unless you use Web Vissum which is a Firefox extension you just have to do the best that you can with the captcha. I went back and listened to my conversation with Leo before writing this message in an attempt to see if I was missing something, but I still cannot see what it is that I said that you have an issue with. Could I have been a little less enthusiastic with my Absolutely remark? I guess so, but again, I was not on the radio to talk about the accessibility of these sites, and when Leo asked me the question as to whether these social networks are USABLE by blind people, I answered him with as honest an answer as I could think of right on the spot. One more thing that I would like to say on this matter is that I am not on the radio very often, so I was a little nervous, and Leo Laport is probably someone in the technology field that I really look up to and I was a little in awe of the fact that I was talking to him. I think that now we have said all that there is to say on this subject and I suggest that we just agree to disagree and move on.

I appreciate the full context and listened twice through before writing to the list. I'm still not completely in your line of thinking when it comes to phraseology over what is, and what is not, accessible, usable or operable by a blind user with a screen reader. Sure, Face Book, Twitter and Linked In all can be used, but this is with a major emphasis on can, and not, are easily, or, easily done so by the masses within the blind world. How for example do you even open an account with any of these three, the last time I checked, all three use screen capture, which even when offering an audio option, these are outrageously poor quality and to be frank, require the patience, not to mention hearing, of a god to manage to decipher. Now once you have your account opened, sure its possible, with time, patience, constant adapting and learning to figure how to use such services, but, they do very little to assist us, and I struggle to believe for a second that any of the major social networks have even considered our user group. Now, you rightly stat that this was not the purpose of your call to Leo's show, and, indeed again rightly that I myself am free to contact him. I have done so

RE: OCR with iOS devices with the VueScan app and wireless scanner
Ester, Fantastic post as usual. I happen to have the same printer you have that I purchased for $39 last black Friday. I also have a Laser printer but I wanted an AirPrint enabled one and the price was right. As you mentioned, my wife who is sighted had to set it up because there was no way that I could find to do it myself. After the setup however, I have to say that I was very pleasantly surprised on how well it works wirelessly. I didn't finish reading your message entirely due to my excitement and installed the free version and did a scan and found out in a hurry that I needed higher resolution for OCR. That's what I get for not reading your message to the end. (lol) I do have Prysmo so I'll have to decide whether or not I'd use this app enough to warrant a $5 purchase as I usually just scan whatever I need on my desktop. Thanks again for the most informative message.

However, recently I've been using a wireless scanner on my network that I control with an iOS app named VueScan Mobile to send scans to the camera roll on my iPhone or iPad, and then using OCR apps like Prizmo or TextGrabber that can import images from the camera roll to OCR. This works pretty nicely when I'm at my home network and want to get an OCR of a simple text document without going go my computer. Now the gotcha is that the all-in-one printer/scanner/copier that I'm using for this is the HP Photosmart D110a, which is one of the first iOS AirPrint enabled printers. And I have to say that I think this is a terrible printer to set up from the point of view of accessibility, since it uses a touch screen with no tactile features or audio feedback to select options and input the IP address information. On the other hand, once it is set up (which you cannot do without sighted assistance), you can work with this wirelessly as well as through a USB connection. I'm using this printer because it was free with a MacBook Air purchase that was made last year. I think that Apple has discontinued the free or $99 reimbursement printer program since then. If you want to check whether this app will work with your wireless printer, you can check the listed supported printers at the developer's VueScan Mobile web page at: http://www.hamrick.com/mob.html Alternatively, you can download the free version of the VueScan Mobile app, which does not have support for the high resolution option that is needed for OCR, but which will otherwise work. In any case, this HP D110a printer, along with a number of other HP, Canon, and Epson wireless printers, is automatically detected when you start up the VueScan Mobile iOS app. There's a very simple VueScan Mobile screen with an Options button and a Scan button at the bottom of the page. The Options button lets you select the scanner (in case there is more than one on your network), choose the resolution (which you want to be high for OCR), select the scan mode (text for OCR, but also settings for black and white or color photo), and an append switch button that can be set to on for multipage documents. So to access the setup options, I would do a four finger tap on the bottom half of the screen to go to the last element -- the Scan button -- and flick left to the Options button and double tap. (These two buttons are just above the Home button, but you have to move up and to the left to get to the Options button, or up and to the right from the Home button to get to the Scan button directly by touch.) There is one unlabeled button in the top right corner of the VueScan Mobile screen, which is an info button to access the About screen with the version number and an option to Email Problem Report. I use the two finger double tap and hold to label this as Info. After the triple tone a Label Element window should appear that lets you type in your custom label in the text field. Flick right the Save button and double tap to save your label. Once you have set up your options, double tap the Scan button. It takes maybe 20 seconds for the scan to complete. You won't hear anything announced until the scan is finished, when you'll hear 1 of 1. However, if you do a two-finger flick up read all, you'll get an announcement in progress at the end. I just wait now until I hear the 1 of 1. The page with the scanned results has a Save button in the top right, which has options for Camera Roll, Send Email., Print, and Other. To OCR the page, you want to choose Camera Roll, so you can open the jpeg image in an OCR app that lets you select inputs from your camera roll images. The other options will send an email with

In fact, I just got an order for 9 tpu cases which are all different colors ranging from purple, to blue, to clear, to neon yellow. They don't cover the bottom part of the screen like the impact case from Otter Box does, but it does form-fit the phone very well and really let's it shine through. The nice thing about these cases is that you can put them on and take them off with ease, yet they stay on the phone very nicely. I also like the fact that I can go back to my impact case whenever I want. The one I don't use any more is the Defender case. I finally got tired of the bulk, but again, this isn't anything bad against Otter Box, since that's the purpose of the case. -- Raul A. Gallegos How do you write zero in Roman numerals?

RE: OtterBox impact case
Hi Stacey, I personally have never had them catch on anything and I will run around with it in my pocket a lot. That being said, it might help you to actually hold one in your hand to see if you like the overall feel of it. I recommend to everyone who comes and asks about cases, that if they can, go to a cell phone store or somewhere that cells accessories, and feel the cases. Nothing replaces holding it in your hand. When we've done conventions, we've changed the minds of folks who were sure they needed the Defender case, and then we've also had people who wanted a thinner type skin than the Impact.

Re: OtterBox impact case
Ok. I don't understand. What is the difference between the defender and the impact? I thought I had the defender, but now after all this talk about different cases, I am not sure. I know i have a otterbox but not sure which model. Thanks. - Original Message - From: Raul A. Gallegos r...@raulgallegos.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Date sent: Tue, 10 Jul 2012 11:15:39 -0400 Subject: Re: OtterBox impact case I've come to the conclusion that the iPhone is very-well made. In fact, I've seen people drop their phones with no protection and rarely a scratch. This is the 4 and 4S I'm talking about. However, glass being glass, if hit in just the right angle and right way, still can shatter. I wonder if the cases out there are more for show than for protection, but still, if it gives someone piece of mind, then they should get the best protection out there. If even one tiny scratch appears on the phone, you will easily lose $100 value when and if you try to resell it. When I had the 3GS phone it lived inside the Otter Box Defender case for 99% of its life, but I find with the 4S, that I'm not as paranoid. Not only that, but I want to have colorful cases and cases which show off the iPhone rather than hiding it. The TPU cases I mentioned are colorful and have either an s-pattern or circle pattern in back which go nicely with the over all design of the phone, and they provide some protection against dropage as well. That's my take on all this for what it's worth. -- Raul A.

Re: Using Amazon Cloud Player
Thanks Wayne. Actually, I haven't found it to be accessible at all.

But if you wait till later and come back to it through the cloud player icon on the desktop, you're out of luck, or, at least, I seem to be.

Whenever I try to do this I always end up calling the number then having to retype it after getting into the new contact screen.

And you can also use that app to read other books, although loading non-Bookshare books into the app currently requires using iTunes file sharing, and is rather painful.

Re: OtterBox impact case
After I dropped my first cell phone 10 years ago, and nicked the corner, I always kept them in a leather or silicon case. After a while though, I realized I was covering up a pretty slim sexy phone, so I never did get a case for my E71X, and I don't have one for my iPhone. Actually, I do have a case for my iPhone when we go kayaking, but that's a different story. My son dropped his iPod from his pocket. It was a pretty short fall, but it must have hit just right, since he now has some spider cracks around the home button. He now has a silicon case for it!

There are a couple of reasons, the most important one, being that for me, it's ugly IMO. When you have it in the Defender with its belt clip, I feel like a construction worker. I know they have all sorts of girly colors, but the style/design is just off putting. Plus, I'm careful. I take care of my phone; meaning it's either in my purse or backpack or something unless it's in use, and even then I can keep it in my pocket if I have earbuds or headphones of some kind. So for me because I'm not scaling tall buildings, mountain climbing, hiking, or diving, it's not a need. The other thing is I want my bulk to give me something useful. If the Defender for example included battery with its bulk, like the juice packs or other similar cases, maybe that would make me change my mind. But it doesn't. It provides bulk without a purpose. Now, I have a friend who is the mom of a very active six year old boy, plus she breaks stuff; a lot. For her, the Defender is a good choice and she loves it because it can take a beating and doesn't impact the phone in any way. For me, if I'm not using a battery case, I use the impact case. It's thick rubber, that the phone just sits in, with the screen exposed. I like it also because if I want to switch cases, it's easy to get in and out. I find the Otterbox a project, one that's not worth my time. Just my two cents on the subject. *smile* Amy Billman Check out my company for your screen protector and phone accessory needs!

In fact, I highly recommend them. I'm just a person who is a free spirit and likes trying new things and different things to experiment. So, I'm currently using some cases which are made of a tpu rubber, this is a bit of a harder rubber, and doesn't feel like the silicon rubber that the Impact case feels like. This means less friction, but also less catching on things like in the pocket. It also means a bit of less bulk. In fact, I just got an order for 9 tpu cases which are all different colors ranging from purple, to blue, to clear, to neon yellow. They don't cover the bottom part of the screen like the impact case from Otter Box does, but it does form-fit the phone very well and really let's it shine through. The nice thing about these cases is that you can put them on and take them off with ease,

I think that's the way it works with Read2Go and Bookshare. Anyone can get the app (although it costs $19.99). Any Bookshare member can use it to access their books. And you can also use that app to read other books, although loading non-Bookshare books into the app currently requires using iTunes file sharing, and is rather painful. I have a long-standing request on the Read2Go support page that they allow us to download from other sources (like a Dropbox account or a web link) and use the open in facility to get other books into this app. Cheers, Esther On Jul 9, 2012, at 1:24 PM, Danny Leung wrote: Esther, Thanks for the reply.

Re: advantages and disadvantages of jailbreaking
What is the tweak name that pauses your music with the hedphones plugged out? Negoslav - Original Message - From: Raul A. Gallegos To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, July 08, 2012 8:34 PM Subject: Re: advantages and disadvantages of jailbreaking Hello. You might want to read over some of the recent jailbreak messages in the last couple of weeks because there was a thread where people posted a lot of why they like to jailbreak their phone. The messages can be found from the list archives, and the list archive Web address is found at the end of each message posted here. However to answer your question, one of the reasons I like to jailbreak is because I get access to a lot more tweaks and features to the iPhone that Apple normally doesn't allow you to do. For example, with a jailbroken iPhone I can integrate my Google voice number a lot more closely with the iPhone. I do not have to use a separate app to make phone calls. Another advantage is that I can use a schedule profile program so that my phone will automatically go into silent mode at a specified time. I can make it turn on or off Wi-Fi and or Bluetooth at specified times. I can change the theme of my phone to make it look like or sound like a Star Trek computer or a windows XP computer. I can make the music automatically stop playing when I disconnect the headphones and automatically resume playing when I connect the headphones. I can skip unlimited amount of times in the Pandora music player. And lastly, one of the most recent important ones, I can add and remove music from the iPhone without ever having to use iTunes. I can simply copy the music over as if my iPhone was a USB stick. -- Raul A.

RE: OtterBox impact case
I have the Impact case, one of the TPU rubber cases, and a plain old rubber skin type case. I did use the TPU case for quite a while for the same reasons you mentioned but lately, I'm using the rubber type skin which gives me some protection with no bulk and slip free. I missed the friction provided with the Impact but this case is even less bulk than the Impact case and I still get the benefits of being slip free. The Impact case however is an excellent case especially if you are prone to dropping your phone quite a bit. The other advantage to the rubber skin is that it fits into my belt holster much better than the Impact case. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Raul A.

Re: Ariadne was: blind square location wrong
I presumed the compass was pointing me at the engine mounted right on the back and I was in one of those awful seats that face the back instead of the front. But the distance from the tracked favourite seemed right and it got me where I wanted on an otherwise unknown bus route. Considering the price and why I went that way, I reckon the app paid for itself on that one trip.

I find it works extremely well. It is in fact the app I was referring to when I mentioned that some apps wold take their direction from the GPS rather than the compass, at least when there is sufficient movement to do so. I have a feeling that there is a toggle in the settings for this. I use the app to watch out for an approaching bus stop. Whilst the bus is stationary, the direction to the nearest favourite is correctly derived from the compass but as soon as the bus has sufficient movement, the direction to nearest fav is instead taken from the GPS. It is one of the really neat things about the app. Our buses have huge glass windows so the GPS is picked up very easily and the compass is always more accurate then I expect.

RE: OtterBox impact case

A very strong glass for sure, but sill glass and a bad drop will put a crack on it.

I think that's the way it works with Read2Go and Bookshare. Anyone can get the app (although it costs $19.99). Any Bookshare member can use it to access their books. And you can also use that app to read other books, although loading non-Bookshare books into the app currently requires using iTunes file sharing, and is rather painful. I have a long-standing request on the Read2Go support page that they allow us to download from other sources (like a Dropbox account or a web link) and use the open in facility to get other books into this app. Cheers, Esther On Jul 9, 2012, at 1:24 PM, Danny Leung wrote: Esther, Thanks for the reply.

Re: OtterBox impact case
Hi, the defender has 4 parts to it. 2 are hard plastic parts which come together in the front and back of the phone. The third part is a hard rubber part which goes around the entire thing. The front hard plastic part also has a built-in screen protector. The 4th part is a belt holster where the phone can fit nicely into when it's in the case. The holster has a swivel clip so you can adjust it as you need it. Now, the impact case is just one piece and feels like thick rubber. It fits over the iPhone and covers it like I described in another message. Hope this helps -- Raul A.

In fact, I've seen people drop their phones with no protection and rarely a scratch. This is the 4 and 4S I'm talking about. However, glass being glass, if hit in just the right angle and right way, still can shatter. I wonder if the cases out there are more for show than for protection, but still, if it gives someone piece of mind, then they should get the best protection out there. If even one tiny scratch appears on the phone, you will easily lose $100 value when and if you try to resell it. When I had the 3GS phone it lived inside the Otter Box Defender case for 99% of its life, but I find with the 4S, that I'm not as paranoid. Not only that, but I want to have colorful cases and cases which show off the iPhone rather than hiding it. The TPU cases I mentioned are colorful and have either an s-pattern or circle pattern in back which go nicely with the over all design of the phone, and they provide some protection against dropage as well. That's my take on all this for what it's worth. -- Raul A.

In fact, I highly recommend them. I'm just a person who is a free spirit and likes trying new things and different things to experiment. So, I'm currently using some cases which are made of a tpu rubber, this is a bit of a harder rubber, and doesn't feel like the silicon rubber that the Impact case feels like. This means less friction, but also less catching on things like in the pocket. It also means a bit of less bulk. In fact, I just got an order for 9 tpu cases which are all different colors ranging from purple, to blue, to clear, to neon yellow. They don't cover the bottom part of the screen like the impact case from Otter Box does, but it does form-fit the phone very well and really let's it shine through. The nice thing about these cases is that you can put them on and take them off with ease, yet they stay on the phone very nicely. I also like the fact that I can go back to my impact case whenever I want. The one I don't use any more is the Defender case. I finally got tired of the bulk, but again, this isn't anything bad against Otter Box, since that's the purpose of the case. -- Raul A. Gallegos How do you write zero in Roman numerals?
