Hi Alan,
If you keep your phone in your pocket and if you don't tend to drop it then having it naked is the best experience (isn't it always) *smile* I swiped my iPhone 4S off the counter in my store once, it is 40 inches high (around belly height give or take) and it fell on tiles which in turn are installed on a concrete slab. There is 0 give to that floor. It skittered across the tiles for 3 feet and there wasn't a scratch on it. On the other hand Rob from the Today in iOS Podcast said his 6-year old son dropped his old iPhone 4 on tile in the pool and it only feel from less than 3 feet and the screen shattered.

My iPhone 4 is still in it's hard shell case. A part of me is thinking that's really a sharp looking phone and iPhones are like the brick outhouse. Can't say that other word on this list! I've had plastic cell phones that really did need a case. I'm just wondering out loud if I really need a case or if I've just bought into the advertising marketing idea that I do. So I guess maybe this is expanding my original question. Does anybody on the list or has anybody on the list just skipped a case?

Based on a recommendation I got from this list, I use the Tech21 case that completely covers the back of the phone and the sides with holes for the plugs and the lightning connector. I also have a film protector on the screen since the Tech21 does not cover it at all. The case does have a special material around the edges that remains flexible until it comes in contact with something at which time it hardens. I really like this case because it offers good protection without adding any bulk to the phone.

My case has no older to it. But this is a subjective thing and what's good for one is probably not good for another.

In my book it's a disappointment and I certainly don't think it's worth $40. I would love to send it back to Apple, but I decided to keep it in a very safe place until my iPhone arrived because I did want to see how it looks when the iPhone is in it, but I put it in such a safe place that I can't find it any more. *smile*. Another $45 wasted (that is what it costs in Canadian currency). Would I recommend it? Probably not, as I said, it's OK, I am sure it will fit great, but it smells funny and in my book looks cheap and you can probably buy a $3 TPU case which would do just as good a job protecting the phone, that's like one tenth the cost of Apple's leather case and I can guaranty that the Apple case is not ten times as nice. Oh well, I guess they have to make money somewhere considering how poor they are. In my opinion this is just as much of a rip-off as a Lifeproof case with Belt clip for $110 or $120 or whatever they cost.

It's suppose to fit the 5s snug and they say even all the holes line up etc. It sounds nice and I'd like to get one but before I shell out 40 bucks I was wondering if anybody on the list has one of these cases and if so, what has been your experience with it? ------- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013!
