That is nice, but it not safe enough for me. I prefer this one.

Or just turn the sh!t off. Or, if you're an innovator like me, I'd make use of the decade-old feature that's been around cell phones since the beginning. It's call "silent" mode.

Yea I agree.

I was just complimenting the commercail.

Slight difference though. Family/friends you need to get a hold of you can call twice and it will ring. So there are filters built in. You can silence the iphone with the flick of a switch on the side, so this does a little more.

T-Mobile, data is FREE.

I have T-Mobile. I'm saving $20/ month with their unlimited data vs what I was paying for 3 GB of data with AT&T. They say their "4G" data is unlimited but it's not, they lie. They cap your data at 99,999GB/ month.

I would recommend just not dropping your phone. That plans works best for me

Alright... so then again, Android's had that feature for how long now?

About the otterbox case for iphone. It is pretty indestructible. I tossed it off a 3 story building and the phone was working perfectly. However, It broke when I ran it over with a car

I have no idea, I never saw that exact feature in the OS. I don't miss android one bit. Enjoy it. Personally, I made a 3 year run with them and I am done. Not worth arguing about, I was just bringing up what the feature actually does.

I thought the same at first, but it is a lot faster to select DND and not have to volume down, vibrate off and then check your phone for an important call. It's just an easy feature to use that I like. It is not a game changer, but the phone is just so fast and responsive and great on my battery that I have no complaints or desires to jailbreak/root.

I have a Lifeproof for my 4S, and it's been great. However, as JoelDali says, when they bring out a new product they seem to suffer a whole host of issues. 'Teething problems' barely scratches the surface. They do have a good warranty service (mine was replaced twice), which is just as well. If you're patient enough, it can be worth it if you get a good one.

One case I'm intrigued by is the Zagg InvisibleShield. Anyone tried that?

You should try the Snap Dragon quad core processors. That's speed right there.

I hated the iOS. I hated how I had to go through menus and sub-menus just to turn on/off my wifi and bluetooth.

Is that just the front screen protector or an actual case? I tried the screen protector and could not get it on. Got all crumpled up on me so I took it back to the store and got my $30 back.

I just hate the Android OS. My last Evo was purchased in June of 12 and had the snapdragon plus I rooted it and cleaned out bloatware. But my i5 is still faster and more responsive. Just my experience.

Front and back screen protector, and possibly sides too. I like the idea of something as minimal as a screen protector being able to resist being hit by a hammer. I'll put you in the 'would not recommend' bracket.

I'm not actually looking for a new case, just curious. I'll be sticking with my Lifeproof until my next phone, which won't be until 4G rolls properly in the UK. Could be a while.

Thats pretty awesome, dude. T mobile 4G speeds are pretty impressive. My friend gets 8 Mbps-12 Mbps download speeds all the time.

I'm on T mobile as well, but I have an unlocked Iphone 4s so absolutely no data for me currently. They are reframing their 3G/4G network to 1700 Mhz to accommodate iphone users. It has not been done in my area so I get no data except Edge, which is horrible. Hopefully they set it up quickly.

The new T-Mo network is done in my area and their 3G speeds are still hit and miss. Hoping that once they start carrying the iphone they will really be able to do something to kick in the speeds that my GS3 gets.

Anyone have the otterbox commuter case for iphone?

Nexus 4 baby!

I use the zagg invisashield hd on my s3 and it works well. So far after around 4 or 5 months with the s3 I haven't encountered any problems whatsover. Actually the jellybean update made some nice improvements to the speed and fluidity to the os. If I waited longer before purchasing, I most likely would have went with the Note 2. I like both Android and ios about the same; ive always had a sweet spot with Apple. I might very well switch back to the iphone if they release a bigger screen version down the road, who knows.
