I literally cannot stop talking about this phone after finally obtaining one of my own earlier this week. Physically the phone is everything I’ve ever wanted out of an iPhone. Apple finally got rid of the oh so easily scratch-able bezel that surrounded the screen and felt shoddy where it met with either the metal of a iphone or the plastic of an iphone 3g/s. I was always more of a fan of the boxier shape of the original iphone to the curved plastic back of the 3g/s.
As far as the death grip phenomenon I’m not sure if I’ve experienced it or not. I did have a couple of phone call drops today, but they were both in areas with sketch reception. I’m not too worried about this as I’ve done several tests and not seen a drop in reception. My bumper should be in within the week so as far as I’m concerned it’s a non issue.
For a case, I’ve indicated that I’m using a bumper, but I also plan on using an UltraSlim Pouch from Sena. One of the things I loved about blackberry’s back in the day was the sleek leather pouch that it came in and I’ve always wanted something similar for the iphone., but never found anything that fit my oh-so-specific tastes until now.
As for screen protection I’m going with the same screen protector that I’ve been using since I had the original iphone, Power Support’s HD AntiGlare Film. From what I understand, they’ve totally re-engineered their screens to work better with the iphone 4′s retina display. I plan on sporting a film on both the front and the back of my phone. These are usually sold at the apple store, but I was unable to find them this time around and ordered a set online. I did also find out that they should be back in stock at the apple store within the month.
Also I’ve become obsessed with dust in my dock connector so, i’m not using Portectorz by Radtech.
