Review: Contour Flick Case for iPhone 3G and 3G S
Aug 12th
Pros:
- Allows you to dock your iPhone with the case on.
- Can be bought in a variety of colors.
- Durable for if you drop your iPhone.
Cons:
- Scratches iPhone easily when case is removed.
- Hinge mechanism breaks easily.
The Bottom Line:
The contour Flick was the first case that I bought for my iPhone 3G because it allowed me to dock my iPhone without taking the case off. The case kept scratching my phone to the point where I had to buy a new case. I now use a Belkin case.
Price:
$34.95
My Rating: (5 Stars=best – 1 star = worst)
2/5 stars.
Do I Recommend This Product?
No.

It is rumored to be released early 2010, have a 10 inch screen, be 3G enabled and look somewhat like a ginormous iPod touch. it is not anticipated for the tablet More >
Do you still use the white earphones that came with your iPod?
Aug 7th
Some people get other headphones for their iPod or iPhone. Why? Because some people think that the earphones that came with their iPod/iPhone have bad sound quality. If you are thinking about buying an iPod or iPhone read some reviews of the earphones to see if they would fit your needs or if you should buy other headphones when you are buying your iPod/iPhone.
My review:
I have been using the Apple earphones ever since I got my first iPod. Since getting my first iPod I have owned 1 iPod and an iPhone 3G but I have gone through 4 pairs of More >
Mac vs. PC
Aug 4th
If you’re reading this post you probably have a favorite: mac or PC? What operating system are you running, OS X, Vista, XP, or maybe your running Linux? What is your favorite and are you running your favorite operating system, if not why? Is it because OS X only is available to Macs (legally) and you do not like the hardware or company?
