I've never been in an auto accident, but that won't stop me from wearing a seat belt. Same goes for a motor cycle helmet when 4-wheeling or dirt biking through the desert near the Colorado river. Same for getting my iPhone into a case. Common sense tells me that protection may be needed, and if I don't get it, I might wish that I had done so later. But, then would be too late. I'm not forcing anyone to do what I think is best, but common sense tells me what to do.

To each his/her own! I don't try to tell people who want cases that they are sissies for not having one or that they are being over-protective, because I don't think that; I think they believe they are making what is a wise decision for them. Those of us who choose to go caseless, especially those who have gone caseless since the 3gs, know the risks and responsibilities and have made what we feel is the best decision for us. To discuss the pros and cons is healthy and good, but let's not push people to do what we do in this area no matter how strongly we feel about it for ourselves. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash! Then God gave me a new heart and life: His joy for my despairing tears!

No details given, and forwarding an apparent news blurb. If this is true, though, to all those who have iPhones and do not see the need for a case, now, do you see a potential need?? Better be safe than sorry. After all, thin aluminum is not rigid. A good sturdy case, on the other hand, is. A dollar in prevention is worth not having to replace an expensive phone. --- Be positive!

Hi, I don't want to be alarmist, but last night a reputable local newscast in Minneapolis reported that some customers with new iPhone 6 (they didn't specify 6 or 6+ or both) have found the new iPhone bending after carrying them around in their front shirt pockets. That's all I know. Hope it's nothing. Keep your ears to the ground. Keith -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
