1. {Nice keyboard. Indeed useful.But I found a flow,
   that when not in use, the addon unnecessarily increases the length of the phone
   and the full body slider ring will be bad for antenna.Instead why not just put a rubber top keyboard, which can
   be pushed at the back of the phone when not in use,
   and bring it to top when u want to use it. No slide, but just a piece of rubber.

   Can you design it ?|Hi Aditi,thanks for the
   comment.the explanation below could be helpful.When the slider closed, the Qwerty add-on just adds a centimeter
   to the phone’s length.Refer the side view of the qwerty.

   the full body is actually a case to protect the phone and the
   slider rail starts from below the screen.So wont affect
   the antenna. In fact, it will remove the iphone 4 reception issues as apple is also offering the same kind of bumper case .
   With no offense to your idea, correct me if I am wrong- When
   you are talking about “the rubber keyboard” u refer to silicone keyboard which are generally flexible . Sure I can design that but it will be loppy kind of a thing and wont be steady. besides they have a very small life. and doesn’t even give a good feel to the user and wont blend very well with the Iphone.thanks a lot for your valuable feedback.

The iPhone app is pretty decent, although it’s (understandably) slower than Safari. The only other annoyance is that there’s no way to set it as your default browser, so if you click on a link in, for example, your email, it won’t automatically open Cov’t Eyes like it normally would with Safari; you have to copy and past the link instead. All in all though, the benefit of accountability far outweighs these minor bits, so I would definitely recommend this one.|I have had an iPhone since last February, but have just started using Instapaper (Pro) and GoodReader. The first is for reading longform web articles, like a NYT feature. It allows you to save them from your main computer or iPhone within any web browser for reading later, and then access them whenever. The autoscroll and night vision are excellet features I wish Apple and others would imitate. GoodReader allows me to download and read PDFs, much like the Kindle app, including full-length books. Both save your place if you’re interrupted. I wish I’d had both of these months ago.|A few more good apps (though I’m too lazy to provide links):|I’m using Pocket Informant Lite to get around the functionality issues with Google and the default iPhone calendar.

Any thoughts on comparisons with the Logos app?|Garrett, I haven’t used the various Olive Tree apps because my understanding is that Logos can do everything they can and more (esp. if you use Logos 4) for free. I may be wrong on that.|Hi,I dealt
   with the issue of accountability specifically on my site here.
   It’s great to have the Covenant Eyes app though I haven’t tried the others. One big problem with internet accountability on the iPhone is that many of the apps have embedded browsers (i.e. push a button within the app and it opens an unmonitored version of the safari browser within the app). A porn addict can use the iPhone but must be very diligent to only install apps that do not allow browsing within them. This is now much easier with the CE and other dedicated browsers.|I have been using iPhone for 5 months. Switched to all Macs at home and church 1.5 yrs ago.Andy, thanks
   for the tip on Mint.Tim, thanks for tip on Simplenote.
   Re Dropbox, doesn’t Mobile Me do much of this?|Yes, Dragon dictation is awesome, as is it’s counterpart, Dragon Search. And the Accountability recommendations are great as well; glad to see some discussion in this area. I do wish that a solution existed akin to NetNanny on my Mac. Several apps do have embedded non-safari browsers (Facebook, Tweetdeck, and several of the File storage solutions and e-readers) and therefore are not affected by current solutions. I know this is an OS limitation. I wish apple would rate all apps that can possibly browse the web in a restrictable category. Anyone know if this is possible now?My wife clears my history files in Safari
   once a week(you can delete the entire history but not
   individual sites; so if the history is gone you have some explaining to do).

   problems with your case impeding the GPS functionality?

   Seems like when I had a case, it had a hard time locating the satellites.

   |Great post, Andy!You mentioned Dragon Dictation, which I really enjoy.
   I like Dragon Search tooi like how it pulls from several platforms at
   once.I would highly recommend Evernote. I love how it syncs with my laptop.
   Many times I’ll type a reminder out and place it in Evernote to reference later.A few others that I like are the Amazon

I turned it off and let it cool down but now the app won’t load at all. What next?|Hi Kate,I’ve had similar issues w/ other apps, but not Angry Birds. In my case, usually something got corrupted during the download or install process, and a simple delete/re-download did the trick. You could try this yourself. If you’ve never done this before, it will appear as if you are buying the app again, but don’t worry, once it starts downloading you will see a message that says something like “you already purchased this title, would you like to download it again”.

I also suggest the vision clip2 it works great with the new capsle rebel|I had the defender and it was great. I dropped it many times and the phone was perfectly protected and it never got a scratch. I got rid of the case when I got rid of the iphone (stupid move). I now have a 3GS and will be getting the otterbox again.|Have a 3gs with the ottorbox. It does what it says the iphone rep at AT&T sold me on it when he chucked his iphone against a wall in the store and had me pick it up and check it out. GREAT case. My only 2 complaints are that its bulk (thickness not weight) keep it from plugging into most aftermarket docks. I have to take it out of the case in order to use a backup battery pack for it. The regular sync/charge cable works just fine though. Also the silent switch on the side is easily turned off, but turning it back on requires me to use a ballpoint pen to flip it. Other than that it’s wonderful.|I have the 3GS and with that, the otterbox defender series. It is amazing, definitely holding up to it’s name. I dropped it in the mall parking lot, a vehicle had to stop for me to get it ( haha ). My iPhone did amazing flips on that pavement. I assumed the worst, but when I picked it up, there wasn’t not only nothing done to the phone, but even the case itself was flawless. My otterbox is white, so I thought it would at least discolor it( but it didn’t:) The only complaint I have would be the built-in screen protector which due to static causes the film to stick to the screen.|My 3yr old daughter has an iPod touch and we have had the Invisible shield by ZAGG on it since day one, which was about a year ago. On top of that case we put a swiss mobility plastic case, which isn’t made anymore. You can imagine what your phone would look like if you gave it to a 3yr old and her dog. The invisible shield and case have stood up against the many tough times it has been dropped AND chewed on by both my daughter and the dog. I just sold my 2G iPhone which had a generic screen protector,
   did okay at keeping scratches off but the protector got nicked and scratched itself which was ugly.

   My daughters iPod screen protector still looks like the day I put
   it on. I also had the Macally Hard leather case over the entire body of the phone.
   The case is CRAP!! There is still a way for dirt,
   sand, and other foreign objects to get in
   between the case and the phone and scratch it. The metal backing also started to come
   off, which to me proves that the case did nothing to protect my phone.

That solved the problem and I loved this screen protector much betterType your comment here K :|I absolutely LOVE my Otterbox!

And I too, had the problem with “oil slicks” on my screen until I changed my screen protector to a non-glare type.

   !|These instructions could work for Android if you didn’t turn the clip into an m4r, but rather an mp3 (Android doesn’t support m4r ringtones). So in Step 6, you’d select MP3 encoder instead of AAC. Then ignore the steps where you change the file types into m4r.

   can be good or bad- I happen to like the extra
   heft as I’m prone to losing my phone in deep pockets.

His OtterBox Defender came as a promotional item when he got his Blackberry last summer. He is so impressed with it, not only does he insist every future phone of ours will have it, but he demonstrates to people who ask (and some who don’t) about his case. He has thrown it down many places and tossed it about on worksites to prove his point. At Christmas, he threw it down the aisle at Target to demonstrate why a lady who purchased two iPads as gifts should invest in the Otterbox product. She put down the flimsy cases he was holding, smiled and thanked him and verified where she could get hers and off she went.I am nervous to go long without a case but I will be extra, extra, extra careful with my new Verizon iPhone until OtterBox comes out with the Defender Case.

My biggest issue is whether I should get a case for the iPhone 4S. I paid the $99 for the Apple Care + coverage which allows me up to 2 replacement handsets after paying the $49 deductible. If you factor in the cost of a good case ($40) plus invisible shield on the front/back ($35), you’re looking at spending $75 versus just paying the $50 deductible and having your phone replaced entirely. I think the third party case market for iPhones will take a hit if people start doing the math on the case/shield protections.

   Original mp3 is DRM free, I can name it whatever I like (no need for one word filenames), and it’s about 33 seconds long.

   !!!! I really appreciate it!!!!!!|I was having problems with this as well,

   fanstastic. Any suggestions??|i live in jamaica, i

   time I’ve done stuff on my iphone and it works!!!! Excellent !!|Created the m4r file just fine with no spaces, starting with capital letter, etc. Shows up in ringtones folder in library, and in list of ringtone/sync all ringtones. After sync, though it is not showing up on my iphone ringtone library no custom folder, nothing. Help please!|THANK YOU (YES I’M SHOUTING!). Worked perfectly.
