iPhone.

So I posted a while back about getting an iPhone, which was a big leap for me since I'm a through and through google user.  Luckily I've found some apps that make using Google easier and easier on my phone, which has been great.  I really like the phone and see myself using this phone until it breaks.

And break it may, because I go through cases like they're going out of style!  As with all my other phones and devices, I'm constantly looking for a case that is slim form.  A friend of mine once looked at an old phone of mine and said "doesn't it stink that we buy these fancy skinny phones and then cover it up with a huge case?"  I couldn't agree more!  In consequence, I believe I've gone through like 4 cases since getting my iPhone.  Here's what I've learned:

  1. TPU cases are the skinniest, but last about 1 drop.
  2. Silicon cases seem sticky to me and move around too much for me.
  3. "Tough" cases are just that, but add so much weight and size to the phone.
I currently am sporting an XDoria Defense 360, which is a clear fully enclosed case that has been working very well for me for about 4 months.  The problem is that I dropped it, which caused a crack, and a few days ago I took apart the case to clean it up, and that cracked piece fell out.  Now I have an exposed corner which puts me back into shopping mode.  Ugh.  Matt is currently sporting a Luvvitt case which seems to be a hybrid of silicon and something else - it's pliable but not sticky, which is interesting to me.  It doesn't have a front cover, but I could get a screen protector - another pet peeve of mine!  I can never get them on straight and without bubbles!

Do you have any suggestions for cases?  Leave them in the comments, I would love to hear!
