{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. Feel free to comment.

thanks!|I’ve been using Covenant Eyes for a couple of years on my laptops and desktops and have been very pleased. 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.

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).

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

anyone had the otterbox defender or switcheasy capsule rebel and what they
thought of it. love the help.|I have a switcheasy capsle rebelM for a
iPhone 3gs and it is the best. 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. It actua|lly probably made it worse.
I am waiting for my new 3GS to come in the mail, meanwhile I’m going to order the ZAGG and possibly the otterbox defender.
|The IvySkin Quattro-T1 is the best all around case I have used.

It is one of the only cases that has a protective glass screen protector.
Other than the obvious areas, it is almost completely covered and adds almost nothing to the dimensions.
That case coupled with the belt clip accessory is by far
my choice.|Who in the world would buy an iPod for a three yr old?

(Educational ones, of course 😉 )|I have had my otterbox defender for a while now.

I do love that it protects it like it says it does.
The only problem is that it makes the phone way to bulky.
I also had the problem with the screen protector sticking.
I switched from a regular screen protector to one that is non
glare. That solved the problem and I loved this screen
protector much betterType your comment here
K :|I absolutely LOVE my Otterbox!!! I really liked my thin case I had because it wasn’t so bulky and was a lot lighter. But I am glad I switched back to my Otterbox. A few days after switching, I dropped my phone at least 5 times during the week chasing after a 2 year old! And I too, had the problem with “oil slicks” on my screen until I changed my screen protector to a non-glare type. It is so worth the money and a lot less than replacing my phone!|I personally own an otter box defender and although it is a great case the size is definitely a down fall. You can throw it drop it bump it slide it and it even allows your phone to come in contact with water for a short period of time, although I wouldn’t recommend it.

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.

|I bought this case along with my 4, and I’ve had (in less than a month)( they same scratching and button problems.

really want to take a low-light photo.
Of course, like any other case it doubles the bulk of the phone, which can be good or bad- I happen to like the extra heft
as I’m prone to losing my phone in deep pockets.
The stiffness of the shell leads me to feel as if I am going to snap my phone when I try to remove it, so I guess it’ll be on there for a while!

Our Defender Series case is our highest level
of protection, is fully enclosed and comes with a holster/belt
clip. Next in line is our Commuter Series case:
slightly less protection and a slimmer look. The Impact Series
case is a durable single layer of bumper style protection.

I know you’re tired of addressing this, but…
Will it be available before 3/10/11?|Unfortunately I don’t have an ETA to offer you… but we certainly hope so!|OtterBox: My fella is rough on his phone. 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. Worth every penny!Thank you!P.S. So close to tracking down an OtterBox decal for
his truck for how much he loves it.|I’m glad! We have tons of his Proud Papa OtterBox stories. He loves demonstrating how much of a BASOB OtterBox Defender cases are!And thank you! I am so excited! I have e-mailed you!|I’m a fan of the iPhone 4
cases where the leg (stand) pops out. 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. Hopefully it’ll make companies lower
their prices on cases and shields so we all win.

It was like making a pancake, easy and simple with the instructions mentioned.

haven’t been able to get this to work:

2) Are you sure you’re using a DRM-free song as stated

audio files. Investigating…|This works great. Thank you for the article.
One question though…For certain tunes, the volume was a little low,
so I adjusted the volume and the equalizer on the piece I am interested in.

But when I convert and change the extension to .m4r, the volume and equalizer adjustments dont seem to
have been transferred…Is there a way to retain those in the ringtone or is it not possible ?
|It doesn’t show up on the Iphone after conversion and syncing. And yes, I’ve made sure it’s selected for syncing. Any ideas???|And yes, I made sure the file extension was changed…..|As we pointed out in the article… the music has to be DRM-free in order for this to work.

I was using the full file names and it wasn’t working, shortened them to

|Works great, just like in the instructions. My ring tones a quiet though.

Any way I can make them louder. I turned up the volume in my phone
and moved the volume adjustment up to 100% in itunes but still quiet. I even played it in itunes and it even sounds softer than the origional.

I do recommend…|i followed it, and it worked okay, my iphone synced, but now i cannot find the tone among the ringtones on my iphone… :S|I have made a bunch of ring tones thanks. I have discovered a few short cuts to your method|I just got it to work in Vista. 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. The only thing you need to do… AFTER you have copied the file to your desktop and renamed the extension… delete the 30 second clip that you converted from mp3 to aac from your itunes library. Then import the ringtone that you created. Voila!|This works perfectly!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I really appreciate it!!!!!!|I was having problems with this as well, until I read the comment about making the file name all one word. No spaces, no underscores.

I tried this and it didn’t work for me. Operator error maybe?? Did you explain somewhere what a DRM-free file is? I wasn’t sure what it was when I was reading your article; however, I still tried your method.
