While Apple is shipping FREE cases for your Iphone to fix so called Antina-BUG, it might worth adding a few things to safe guard your highly addictive gadget, the new Iphone 4g you just recently purchased.

If you went to a store and ordered it. Don’t get any accessories from the store, believe me and believe a lot of users, check out the AT&T Forum where you will find 70% unhappy users.

I had a terrible experience getting a case. They made me wait for a month, then an email arrived saying the order of the phone case was canceled due to bla bla reasons. I suspect, the 1 reason was : “Out of stock”. Oh well, thank you AT&T for making me wait and perhaps many more people.

Iphone 4G delivers extreme graphic. Screen is EXTREMELY FRAGILE.

So you better get a screen protector. For now, get any scratch protector. That should work. Look now, it records video in stunning quality. So you must protect the back part of it as well. To be honest with you, you need two things or both (a) a robust case that will keep your Iphone new all the time whether you drop it or bump it and also (b) Insurance.

Let’s wrap both of them quickly:

1. For tough case, there are two choices and nothing really beats the BALLISTIC case, for it has four layers of protections and it also has a robust hostler and screen protector comes with it. What else do you need ? What I found about it after getting it :

• It’s got some weight, so don’t blame because it’s tough. For some test videos done by designers, you can search on youtube.com
• When I got mine, a friend told me, so you spend so much of money on this thing? Now let me test it. Don’t do it ! I had to fight back to get back my new Iphone. Just because you got it, doesn’t mean you have to test it. I don’t know much, you decide yourself.
• Nothing rocks here. Designers must have worked so hard to make everything fit perfectly here. When using hostler, it covers the front part of the Iphone and secures it fully. When you put everything together, there is no shaking or anything like that. It’s like a box. It’s like as if the designers must have worked to the millimeters or even closer to get this thing so right.
• There is a little air-bubble on the screen but it’s not noticeable. It’s always the same case with any screen protectors I have used.
• A delightful case, that will make you forget about the EXPRESS order you so dearly picked while ordering. Overnight shipping as shown on the page ain’t so at all. But if had to wait a month to only get a cancellation order  from AT&T store. Hit that EXPRESS button. It’s worth it.  Overnight is about 3 to 5 days. My friend got it on the third day by FedEx.

My Friends’ order was canceled after waiting for a month and not to mention how easily it was sold to him; a guy (sales rep) just showed his/her Iphone with wrapped in a case and (he/she …for now) slammed it on the floor as if  it was a baseball.

The screen was broken and he/she said, “this never happened before!”. We thought, he/she just wanted a new Iphone may be ?

We both kept saying, sorry, sorry, you didn’t have to do that to show us. The person just laughed and said, “Oh, I will get it fixed.” The person sold us Superior Iphone Case. We ordered it, well, it’s a history now. Thought we were gonna get it like with in 15 days ! No way ! CANCELED. CANCELED.

God knows what case that was but we know in our email, it reads Superior Iphone Case. Looking up in AT&T’s forum to find out is as confusing as going to the store and talking to the folks. But, if you are the AT&T Supervisor, wouldn’t you like to know if your sales rep is ignoring calls to a client to whom AT&T sold products and services ?

The other phone case that comes closer to BLASSTIC is Otterbox (as per my knowledge), but it only has 3 layers of protection. But it’s beautiful too. If you aren’t going to be a testing your phone, should you really care about layers. It’s always nice to have a case that has everything.  Depending on your budget or style see which one you like and buy.  If I had not heard from the BLASSTIC, I would have got this one. A bit of investment is worth the risk of waiting and having your Iphone gone bad.

Even with the case, you never know ! So go ahead add a few extra bucks to insurance. Apple recommended Insurance is way too expensive, and I’m guessing you already know which one that is. Anything highly rated by those who use it, helps me make a good decision on purchases, be it software or hardware. Try Squaretrade. It seems to be the choice, for less than $100, $50 copay, but read the fine prints like your phone has to be working for so and so days, and also remember, it does not cover theft/lost protection.

Here you go the links you had been waiting, it’s time to see them, cases you won’t regret and Phone Insurance you might be able to afford.

• Iphone 4 HC Series Tough Case by BALLISTIC
• Iphone-4-defender-series-case by Otterbox
• Iphone Insurance by SquareTrade

All being said, Iphone 4G is cool, costly and highly addictive. Once you are on, You will be buying apps at least 1 per day Free or not and spending money like crazy.

If you are not in any G areas, (please don’t laugh; I meant to say G Spot),  you bought Iphone 4G only because you were Tech Savvy.

Now, without G, enjoy the slow Internet and what ?

Question Mark on Facetime ?

Until next time, ? Sorry for a bit of humor, please protect your Iphone.
Apple is not going to do it for you. Don’t blame the kids, or a friend because your Iphone’s screen looks like a ghost or it’s gone mad, or there are slow services at AT&T store, STOP BLAMING !!!  Take responsibilities in all areas of your life.
