be careful with smart recharge iPhone cases, I won't buy one again
Hi to all. I have had a very bad week when it comes to technology and the iPhone. Usually, I'm very careful and I have no problems. However, things have been horrible. I bought from a company for the blind a smart iPhone case which I haven't had for a week yet. This case was great, I had no problems putting the iPhone in the case and it worked very well. If I used the power in my iPhone, I could charge the phone one time completely, and a little over 60% before I'd need to recharge my iPhone again. Well, a couple days ago, I was using a cable that I also bought from this blind company that had 3 cables built into it. A lightning cable, micro USB, and USBc. Well, the lightning connector kind of bent when I picked up my phone to take a phone call. So that cable as far as using the lightning charging cable was no good. Last night I wanted to take my phone out of the smart case for a minute. I'd gotten pretty good at putting my iPhone in a case, and there was one case, my Otterbox case that I wanted to see if I could put my iPhone in. I had some trouble, so I put my iPhone back in my new smart charge case. Since the incident with the lightning cable, it seemed that my iPhone was charging a little slower then usual. I didn't think anything of it, but now I think I know what was happening. Before I went to bed, I thought my iPhone wasn't in my charging case as tight as it should have been. I kind of pushed down on my iPhone a little bit and the phone seemed in the case just fine. Well, earlier, I decided to use a set of wired headphones so I grabbed one of those lightning to 3.5 mm adapters. I plugged the adapter in my iPhone, and plugged in the headphones. I noticed that I had no sound coming from the headphones and my voiceover was coming from my iPhone. I thought I'd take my iPhone from the charging case and check out my phone. Well, I forgot that those smart charging cases have a built in lightning connector on them. The lightning connector was bent all to heck which I noticed once my iPhone was out of the charging case. My regular lightning port of my iPhone does seem to be okay because I can charge my iPhone and I tried those headphones and they work just fine when I tried them with my iPhone. I can't believe I broke all that stuff. I feel like such an idiot. My dad put my iPhone in my otterbox case so now my iPhone has a nice case to protect it. I just bought myself a 1 MA portable battery which I'll be using with my iPhone if I do go out anywhere. -- Joshua Hendrickson Joshua Hendrickson -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

Re: Comparison of iPhone Cases
Hello Robin, I have had experience with OtterBox defender, OtterBox commuter, and delight proof cases. The OtterBox funds can get dirtier a whole heck of a lot easier than the life proof. So I really do think that the light cases maybe have a little bit more protection then the OtterBox cases, for instance my brother. Got his iPhone five about two months ago, and just a few weeks ago he was out working on a job. And he was driving a machine called a bobcat hysteron proteron of this pocket, and he did not notice it until he got home and by that time it was already dark. He went back to the job site, and they looked for his phone. The phone, and the case we're down the close together the case was shattered. But the phone only have one scratch on it whatsoever. So that just goes to show you how well protected a life proof case is.

Re: iPhone cases with belt clip and rubber shell - was - Re: How many folks carry their iPhone without a case?
Ari, you have the same case as I. My wife didn't like it because she said it took up to much room in her lab coat. She got one of those no name rubberized cases that reduced the size by offering little protection and relying on the rubberized part to keep it from falling out of her pocket. Surprisingly enough it actually works. On the other hand, my iPhone has been out of it's case maybe twice but I know once for sure. We thought my screen was starting to go out. Right in the center of the screen was this tiny white dot. We took my phone back to the ATT store and the young fellow who sold it to us and put my phone in the case looked at it with a magnifying glass and started to chuckle. Then he took the case apart and blew the speck of dust off the inside of the plastic cover and cleaned it with a micro fiber cleaning cloth, put it all back to gather and couldn't help himself from chuckling just a little. I apologized for wasting his time and he said no, I'd rather do this all day then to have to tell people their phone can be fixed but it won't be cheap. I liked this young kid. He knows what he's talking about and had never tried Voice over and said let's check it out together and we'll both learn something together. He spent several hours with me looking up gestures and enough stuff to get me started. To top it all off, he gave me his personal iPhone number saying call me if you need help or you forgot a thing or two.

It sells for about $10. It is a hard shell that covers the back and the edges of the iphone. It is not bulky, and when you put it into the holster for the belt clip, the screen is also covered. There are also openings in the back left side, top and bottom to reveal the lense, buttons and ports. But unfortunately, I think it only comes in black. You can find it at: http://www.amazon.com/MiniSuit-Clipster-Holster-Verizon-Unlocked/dp/B0099XQN RI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8qid=1370370396sr=8-1keywords=minisuit+iphone+5+case+ with+belt+clip That above link wrapped, so you may have to copy and paste both lines into the browser. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Raul A.

Re: iPhone cases with belt clip and rubber shell - was - Re: How many folks carry their iPhone without a case?
Hi, unfortunately your not going to get around the bulkiness issue when it comes to cases with belt clips. If you want just a small case and no protection you could just get a leather belt case. But in my experience I've found these to be worthless and taking my phone out of the case scary's me because it's not protected. That being said there is the lifeproof case and the otterbox defender.

RE: iPhone cases with belt clip and rubber shell - was - Re: How many folks carry their iPhone without a case?
Hi Raul and others, A friend gave me a case he bought I believe on Monoprice.com. Unfortunately I don't know the name, but I believe it was only $6 or something like that. It's a very minimal hard plastic case which covers the entire back of the phone except of course for the camera hole. It also covers the 2 long sides with cut-outs for the volume buttons and the mute switch. The top and bottom are open but the back of the case sticks out ever so slightly, I mean maybe a sixteenth of an inch, it's enough for the edge of the case to take the impact, but very little. The phone snaps into the case very securely and it adds almost no bulk, but this case has the added benefit to come with a belt clip which can also swivel, i.e. you can turn it so your phone is in landscape mode so to speak which is important if you want to use the phone on your belt with apps like Blindsquare. For apps that use the compass the phone has to point in the direction you are going instead of up and down and I find that this works very well for me. The case that is on the phone slides into the belt clip and it's a friction fit, you put the bottom end of the phone in to the top of the belt clip opening and push it down and you can, if you want, push it in top first if you want the phone to be upside down which I find sometimes is more handy if you plan to use the phone while it's in the belt clip. It is also very easy to slide the phone out if you don't have a headset connected and you want to take a call. I know it sounds too easy, but it really is a very snug and secure friction fit yet easy to slide in and out. The only complaint I have is that the belt clip is not as strong as for example the one that came with my Lifeproof case. It's secure, but if somebody gave it a really hard yank it could probably be pulled off.

They are form-fitting, add little bulk, and have grips on the sides to help your phone not slip through your sweaty fingers. Plus, and this is my personal favorite, they come in different colors. Regardless of whether you are blind or not, I personally feel that colors do matter in this world. So, since I like Blues and Purples, I have cases of these colors to match my personality. Plus, TPU is a kind of plastic which helps in cases where the phone may drop onto the ground. yes, I know there are web sites which say you don't need cases, but I choose to have one. I'm no longer in the army camp of those who feel they need a life proof case, or an Otter Box case for their every day needs, but the TPU cases do help my peace of mind.

Re: iphone cases with battery extenders?
Hi, Yes, they do. I use the Mophie duce pack and it will charge my phone when flat to about %80. Other wise, I can just leave the case on and the iPhone will use the cases battery until its dead, then use its own, It extends my battery life by about two thirds. I find it very handy and its not too big either.

Re: iphone cases with battery extenders?
David, I use a USB charger. They come in various power capacities such as 1000 mAh, 1800 mAh, 2200 mAh etc. They connect to your iPhone using your data cable and plug into a USB port on the charger. There is also a flip-down adapter that permits charging via a wall outlet. When no outlet is handy like in your pocket or purse, just connect your sync/charge cable to your phone and to the USB port on the charger and press the recessed button. The 1000 mAh charger will recharge a dead iPhone once. Of course, the batteries with more power can recharge more times or more devices. Usually though there are 2 USB ports on the charger. I bought a sync/data cable that retracts and that works great when your out and about and power is getting low. You can also be charging your phone wile talking on it. Note: the batteries with greater capacity are also larger in size. My 1800 mAh charger is enough to recharge 2 devices fully from being dead. In my case, it's most often my iPhone 4 and my Bluetooth ear peace. HTH PS: I should also say that there are solar chargers which add one more rankle to the mix meaning they can be charged by the sun, by it's own battery or plugged into a wall outlet. Other chargers work with a battery inside a case for the phone. Still others work by laying your phone on a pad. No need to take it out of a case etc. Just more ways to get you to spend your money. I like the 1800 mAh recharger because, it's smaller then a deck of cards, can recharge 2 devices at once and turns it's self off when your phone is fully charged or as high as it can before it dies but it always disconnects so it doesn't steal power from your phone's battery. - Original Message - From: David Gross david.dgro...@gmail.com To: Viphone Viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2013 8:57 PM Subject: iphone cases with battery extenders?

Re: iPhone Cases
I just received today the model that covers the back and sides. This one is called the Tech21 Impact Snap case for IPhone 5. As I say, I just received it and put it on, but so far I do like it. My only question and possible concern so far is not one unique to this case in any way that is not a factor of others, but that most of the case is made of polycarbonate, which in my understanding is a form of plastic? and the thing I wondered about is if that is in fact like plastic in its heat trapping properties, if it will allow the IPhone to have enough exposure to be able to sufficiently cool when it heats up from higher intensity processes. I do wonder if anyone has any insight about that. I'm sure experience will reveal the reality. If an IPhone can survive pretty much being sealed off from the world almost within the Otter Box, I guess this would be the same to a lesser degree than that though. So as not to confuse anybody, the D3o material is in at least two strips that run up and down the long edges of the case. I guess the idea is if this material hardens, it will take the impact and the other part of the surface area of the case will not take a direct hit. As mentioned in another reply, this case is pleasing in that it does not add a lot of bulk to do the job. It also doesn't feel or look really cheap either. It is pretty nice to the touch when on the phone especially. Of course it is right against the metal of the phone so there is that solid backing there, although the case feels respectibly solid for sure even before you put it on the phone when you take it out of the package. Make no mistake though, it would not feel as nice if this was entirely what the phone external casing was made of from the factory with no metal involved. Plenty of phones on the market are exactly that or worse. Sometimes much worse. The case does not get in the way of any buttons or ports. They are all cut out and it is not the type of case that puts any of its own covers over any buttons to push them through. In my opinion that is a very good thing that it does not do that. I don't want to push buttons through a case's plastic coverings. My preference. Finally, I have come across youtube videos for a Tech21 case that is said to be entirely real leather with the D3o in it and of course an internal lining and it is said to be very nice. It is a flip case. I can not find it anywhere though, I could not even get it to come up in a search result searching on the Tech21 site. None of its reviews were done by anyone in the US though that I found and they only referenced a place to get it in the UK. I emailed Tech21 about that, to ask about its availability, we'll see if I get a response. A response won't be til next week at the earliest though as I just sent the email a few hours ago.

Re: iPhone Cases
Hi Rick, now that I think about it, I think we are talking Apples and Apples. It was my mistake.

RE: TPU iPhone cases - was OtterBox impact case
What is TPU material? -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Raul A. Gallegos Sent: Wednesday, 11 July 2012 4:19 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: TPU iPhone cases - was OtterBox impact case Hi, I got them from Amazon. And in fact, it was due to my daughter getting some for her iPhone 3GS that I got the idea to check into them from Amazon. I have 2 types. One are the TPU circle pattern cases and the other is the s-pattern case. I will provide links below. I'll refer to each as the circle case and the s-case even though they are obviously iPhone cases. The circle case and the s-case both fit the phone very snugly and do not add bulk. However the s-case seems to fit it even more snugly as you have to be sure your screen protector is on perfect, otherwise you might pull up the corner. The circle case doesn't have friction grips on the sides, but the s-case does. I like the grippies on the sides because it provides a more secure feeling when you hold the phone. The circle case covers the sleep and volume buttons, but the s-case only covers the sleep button. There is a longer hole on the left side to give you access to the mute, and volume buttons. I prefer the volume buttons to be covered,so for that I like the circle case better. The circle case covers the entire back of the phone minus the camera port of course. However the s-case has a raised circle in the back where the Apple logo shows, in addition to the camera port. So, if you are like me and Amy, you want no hole exposing part of your phone. smile. So, for this, I prefer the circle case. The circle case has an over all smooth feeling whereas the s-case has a mostly smooth feeling except the pattern making the s-shape in the back. It has both a smooth and a slightly rough feeling so you can definitely tell where the s-pattern is. Both cases come in different colors and both cases offer similar minor protection. Both cases are designed to protect the phone from light bumps and scrapes and are mainly designed to let the phone shine. Neither case covers the screen at all. Neither case covers the home button at all. I recommend a screen protector with these cases, but be sure to have it on perfectly. Especially with the s-case. The links to the cases I got are below. Oh, and watch out for link splitting in case the link is too long.

TPU iPhone cases - was OtterBox impact case
Hi, I got them from Amazon. And in fact, it was due to my daughter getting some for her iPhone 3GS that I got the idea to check into them from Amazon. I have 2 types. One are the TPU circle pattern cases and the other is the s-pattern case. I will provide links below. I'll refer to each as the circle case and the s-case even though they are obviously iPhone cases. The circle case and the s-case both fit the phone very snugly and do not add bulk. However the s-case seems to fit it even more snugly as you have to be sure your screen protector is on perfect, otherwise you might pull up the corner. The circle case doesn't have friction grips on the sides, but the s-case does. I like the grippies on the sides because it provides a more secure feeling when you hold the phone. The circle case covers the sleep and volume buttons, but the s-case only covers the sleep button. There is a longer hole on the left side to give you access to the mute, and volume buttons. I prefer the volume buttons to be covered,so for that I like the circle case better. The circle case covers the entire back of the phone minus the camera port of course. However the s-case has a raised circle in the back where the Apple logo shows, in addition to the camera port. So, if you are like me and Amy, you want no hole exposing part of your phone. smile.
