Thanks for the call Carlos, I do not have a Mac, so that must be what it is.

Get the Otter Box case. It is definatly worth it.

Adds way to much bulk, but it does do its intended purpose of keeping your phone safe.

Here's a tip. When you buy a new Iphone 4 and you buy a screen protector and you decide to leave the protective plastic screen cover on till you can get home to apply the screen protector, and then the phone rings while you are driving home and you answer, then you try to talk to the person and they can hear you fine but you can barely hear them, then you almost turn around and go back to the Apple Store to return it because it's clear you got one that sucks, and you decide to drive a couple more miles then you realize that the protective plastic screen cover doesn't have a hole cut out for the earpiece and then you are glad you didn't make a fool of yourself if you had taken it back. Good info right there. and yes it sucks.

I've been thrilled with mine forever. Lisa liked a more streamlined case.
Then I got her one to put on her phone when we ride the motorcycles. Now she uses it all the time.
Mine has saved my phone countless times.
Although the 3GS case is pretty bulky, I'm told the Otterbox for the 4 is far more streamlined.
I'll definately have an otterbox when i get a 4.

I have to get somebody with a 4 to call me now so I can see if I really like the facetime. Problem is I don't really have anyone here that I know that has one. Lookout Shilala, I may bug you to death.

True Otterbox story;

Last week, I was in Clearwater Beach on my balcony on the 5th floor enjoying a cigar overlooking the pool late at night and checking some emails on my Iphone 3.

Out of nowhere, a dragonfly landed on my shoulder and freaked me out to the point I threw my arms up and watched in slow motion as my phone flew onto the pool deck.

I went down to retrieve it, certain it was smashed.

Not a scratch.

My contract is up in a couple months and am holding on to see what's coming up, but will definitely put it in an Otterbox.

Not more streamlined. In fact, it's very, very bulky. I have the commuter for the 4 (which was the absolute best case I ever had for the 3gs), but it's not made near as well as the one for the 3gs. Still, I like the commuter because it is more streamlined than the defender.
