I heard that a case offers a free phone if you're iphone breaks in it. is this true? Also, other recommendations for cases?

get the incipio, I got mine at the verizon store. only iPhone case I've ever had that didn't actually scratch your phone just from being in it or taking it off. it's got a super soft almost fabric sleeve that snaps into a hard rubber case. same amount of bulk as an incase.

maybe it's just me but my Incipio case I got with my phone broke within the month of ataching it.

I now use a Ballistic case http://www.goballisticcase.com/pages/apple, the SG to be exact and love it. It's rugged, lasts so far, and while it's not waterproof, it protects the phone very well.

The best case for the iPhone is the lifeproof case. Google it. I boiled my iPhone playing music in a pot of marinate sauce for 5 minutes, and it works perfectly still

if you break your phone, let alone with a case on it, then you are retarded. take care of your shit.

most of the time when you google shit it brings you to a forum anyway. It's better to get input from real people talking to you specifically than a broad review or something like that.

Also in the time you spent making that link you could have typed something to help him and if you knew you had nothing to offer, why would you open this thread?

Also, Otterbox

No case. The damn thing is made of a scratch proof epoxy on both sides. Why buy something sleek and slim and immediately pay to double it's size.

Still not as stupid as people who put plastic sheets over the scratch resistant screens that don't scratch when I drop this thing on concrete.

is it annoying with the headphone screw in? Also its not that bulky and easily slides into your pocket? those are my main concerns after protection, which lifeproof has covered.

It's not very bulky. The headphone screw could get annoying but it hasn't bothered me. It comes with a waterproof adapter too so you can just plug em into that. I just love how I don't have to worry about it getting wet or dirty. Just run it under the sink and it's back to new. I haven't taken it out of the case since I got it

I heard somewhere that the lifeproof case makes it very annoying when using speakerphone or facetime. Someone said that it gives alot of feedback to the point where "they want to throw their phone down"

Have you experienced this? Sorry for 21 questions, i just dont wanna blow 70$ lol Already blew 25 on a screen protector that blows.

no worries, one of the reasons I just went ahead and bought it was because I figured i'd spend as much money on screen protectors. With the lifeproof you don't have a screen protector on, just the case.

I've never used facetime with it but i've used speaker phone and haven't noticed anything. I also had a flip phone before getting the iphone so I guess I might just not notice it. Sounds clear enough to me though.

The sound from the phone (if you're playing music) sounds a little different but I almost think it sounds better..It's not quite as loud but it still sounds good. I usually bring listen to music in the shower and it works fine.
