I posted several years ago, in speaking about the Nokia N70 http://mrblog.org/2006/08/29/nokia-n70-review/, that "they aren’t building these phones for me" so I accept that there are other perspectives, but in my case, I know I’m going to beat the thing up. It needs to be tough enough and compact enough to fit into a pants pocket and get tossed about a bit in the car and such. The iPhone falls short in this category. Even without a case, the iPhone is little too large to fit in a pants pocket very well and of course without a case, it would surely get destroyed in my pocket. With the case, it's simply way too big. John, thanks for commenting.

Kendrick Sun, 13 Apr 2008 02:52:18 +0000 http://mrblog.televolution.net/?p=390#comment-856 I've written about many of the applications I use on my iPhone in several blog posts at http://johnkendrick.wordpress.com Check the index there for a complete list. I am a very heavy iPhone user since purchasing it the first day it was available in the US. With a suitable case ( I use a casemate) it is not fragile at all, and I don't find the case detracts from its use at all. Of course if your main reason for using an iPhone is to wow your friends and colleagues with it "slimness", then I guess you're correct, it is very slippery in the hand without a case. But I don't think that is why most of us purchased an iPhone. Just my thoughts.
