Sim City for iPhone – a city in your pocket

Today saw Electronic Arts release Sim City for the iPhone on the App Store, and I didn’t even realize it ! Praise the lord for RSS feeds. So, what do you get for your £5.99 ($9.99) ? Is it worth the outlay ? Well yes, yes it is !
Let me start by saying I loved Sim City on the PC. I could easily spend hours sat tweaking my city, building links to other cities and recovering from alien attacks. I love Sim City.
So having said that, it’s not really any surprise that I like the iPhone version. That’s not to say the game doesn’t have its faults, it does, but for an iPhone game it really is neat.
Sim what?
If you’ve been living under a rock for the last 20 years, you may not know what Sim City is. Put simply, it’s a game where you build your own city and then control its growth by setting rates of tax and generally building a city your Sims (citizens) will want to live in. It might not sound fun, but it is. The original launched back in 1989 and has sold a fair few copies in its various iterations since. The whole thing is the reason for the umpteen different ‘The Sims….’ games, which I suppose is the only down side to the franchise !

OK, so how does it translate to the iPhone?
Surprisingly well actually.
One of the things that concerned me while waiting for the game to download and install (all 30-odd MB of it) was how well the interface would shrink to the iPhone’s screen. There are so many options and menus in the desktop versions that I was worried EA would either have to cut too many things out, or just make the whole thing too ‘busy’. Thankfully, neither of those things has really happened.

What they did was put the basic building and zoning options down the left hand side of the screen, and the settings controls along the bottom. Tapping something on the left will open another column of options to the right, and again until you reach the desired option. It works well, and the icons are pretty self explanatory. If you do struggle though, there’s a handy tutorial you can follow too.
Zooming is handled with double tapping and pinching in typical iPhone style, and works fairly well. The animation can get a little jerky and scratchy at times, but it’s certainly no deal breaker. Sound too, is very Sim City-like, with the usual Jazzy music and relaxing sounds. It’s actually quite nice to just listen to, and I don’t like jazz !
One cool feature is something I just discovered by complete accident. I was playing Sim City to get the screen shots for this post when my Girlfriend called me. Obviously the game quit in order to take the call. Upon firing the game up afterwards, it automatically loaded my city, exactly as it was before. No lost game time here ! Very neat indeed.
So should I buy it?
Well, yes. If you like Sim City, I’d be surprised if you didn’t like this. It’s the first full game I’ve enjoyed on the platform. Games like Tap ‘n’ Slide are great for five minutes here and there, but Sim City is much more of a sit down and play kind of experience. It’s just perfect for train journeys and the like.
Before I finish I must mention the crashing. Now I’ve not had any problems like this, but I have read of people having the app crash at the title screen, but that seems to be an individual iPhone problem as similar reports can be found for pretty much any app out there.
So have you bought Sim City yet? Are you enjoying it or perhaps being bitten by the crashing bug? Let me know in the comments at the bottom of the page.

Thanks for the review! was linked to you from TouchArcade.com…most useful info is that the game saves when your girlfriend(s) call! Thanks for that tip!
Have a good day sir
@Wegmans – The fact you don’t lose unsaved progress is a great feature, nothing worse than losing an hour’s gameplay ! Glad you like the review.
Not available in the UK store
@Robert – I got it off the UK store. The link is for the US one, and it’s different for some reason. Search for ‘Sim City’.
Good review mate! Not sure if I want it just yet though as I’d prefer to play Sim3k on my PC. Maybe I’ll get it later.
I really want to get this game but dont no if i really want to play it on my 3.5 screen
@Ben – To be honest the screen size isn’t a problem. Zooming in and out works just like Safari does so it’s 2nd nature.
I can’t believe, I’m stuck with voucher codes etc because I use the USA iTunes, I didn’t look properly at the credit remaining and bought Monopoly instead, I’m like 37 cents short and thus I cannot play My SIMSSSSS!
@Craig – I’ve ended up with 50c I can’t use on my US account too. Why not just use a UK one with a credit card too ?
i reallly wanted this app to work – but it did not… i have over 30 apps on my phone that all work fine. however, i have now become a statistic as sim does not get past the title screen. and yes – i did reboot the phone after installation, i am running the most current form of itunes / iphone operating software, etc. very disappointing. i read all over the blogs that this app in particular has experienced much crashing… anyone else…?
@matt – EA released an update today which supposedly includes fixed. Fingers crossed !
(:
Too negative Apple made this phone so slow with the iOS four update. I’m downgrading my moms back to 3.1.three
i’m 13 and in 2011 i finaly got an iphone 3g lol
i have one and i’m 11 its cool i wish to get the iphone four
im obtaining iphone for my birthday:]
This can be a programe isn’t the iphone….
Could not get to function with iPad two even soon after following DCIM folder instructions. I did get the video output to work but only for about 5 seconds until it stated not an apple authorized accessory and only immediately after regarding the 20th attempt.
1st some background. We own two iPad’s, oldest considering that July of 2009. We were fortunate enough to receive the Apple Camera Connection kit on Christmas Day, and had good fun importing photo’s that we’d just taken of our family festivities. By no means definitely saw the utility as a necessary accessory prior to then.
At 1st glance I was suspicious because the device felt flimsy and low-cost, not at all like an Apple product.
Yes, all apple devices perform on exactly the same dock.
Bought my iPhone four recently and was performing some investigation on situations for the iPhone. I did also personally check with 1 to quite a few iPhone users who have used numerous other merchandise and tried their situations on mine. The a variety of goods I tried either had been flimsy, bulky, ugly searching and negative design. Following some extensive analysis for such a modest thing, I bought this Incipio iPhone 4 case.
I just purchased this case, so I cannot comment on it’s durability (hence 4 stars) but I’m really happy so far. I’ve the Verizon iPhone and this case fits with no an concern. The ringer silence button is really a little close for the edge in the obtainable window, however it is surely fully accessible. The rest with the buttons/openings are in the appropriate areas.
I already ordered my Belkin Grip Vue case for my iPhone 4, ahead of I had read many of the critiques here. I’m glad it occur that way, otherwise I might have missed out on a good quality case. I was a bit nervous about my choice until the case came and I was in a position to attempt it out for myself. I discovered that the case fits best and does not interfere using the touch screen at all. The material is terrific! It has a nice shock resistance element with no getting a lint collector. It took several hours of normal use to break-in the material over the buttons. Once it was broken in, I was in a position to press all of the buttons with ease. I Enjoy the appear of this case due to the fact it permits the aesthetics of the iPhone 4 to show through the clear casing though providing considerable protection. Just what I wanted. I’d highly suggest this case to any person who desires great solid impact protection, but nonetheless wants to show off the beauty with the iPhone 4s design.
There is certainly a definitely a variation in the case manufacturing as I determined by weird coincidence by winding up with two circumstances, each clear and bought at Most effective Buy. 1 was best the other suffered the complaints other people had of the buttons being extremely tricky to push. I am guessing the version getting complained about was manufactured earlier just before the iPhone four was released along with the improved version has now replaced it. Forget all the complaints about the buttons becoming tough to push, they push effortlessly out of the box! Here’s how you may tell the difference in the version in the circumstances, the sides on the older version are clear, on the newer version they may be frosted like the back. This later version fits like a glove and is perfectly quick to push the volume and sleep buttons. The mute button is uncovered and calls for your nail to move in the case however it really should be noted that even without having a case it’s not the easiest to slide. This revised case also doesn’t have the exact same concern as the earlier version concerning the flash as other people have mentioned in critiques all over the net, which triggered reflection off the case causing undesired flash results. The case gives a great grip surface and doesn’t collect lint. I can now tell which is the front from the telephone when I reach in my pocket for it. The front also offers a lip to ensure that the screen is protected if it lies screen down on a flat surface. I also really feel much more comfortable on the street because the case delivers a fair quantity of protection for an all glass telephone and it grips so considerably greater in my hand than the slippery glass back from the iPhone. It adds only slightly to the size in the telephone creating it using the case far more like the size of my original 2G iPhone which I’ve sported for three years caseless! Those were the days, no case necessary…
This is a excellent case as long as you might have the newer revised case which suffers from none of the complaints in evaluations all more than the internet. My only complaint is that I can’t get it to fit in my iPhone 2G or universal dock using the case on… Such would be the plight with the majority of situations, except for those not but out there slider instances.
Update, As I decided I do not like the looks with the clear case as it isn’t seriously clear but frosted and it makes the back with the phone look gray, I have returned it and just now received the Grip Vue in Black Pearl!!! I adore the black, despite the back in the iPhone getting much less visible through the case than the clear but as soon as once more I have an all black iPhone, protected in really sharp black translucent case! I see they may be now providing a nice looking blue at the same time… I’m surely recommending the Grip Vue, just be cautious on the clear and make sure you get the newer version.
I’m not confident what to say about the other evaluations apart from maybe there was some product variation in sizing initially. Mine is quite tight, exactly like I want it to become, but it really is not causing any button presses unless you touch the button. It fits like a glove. My power button is just not difficult to press. My volume buttons are slightly tougher and take a very firm press, but they may be loosening up following just per day of use. I personally do not like the soft floppy silicone instances that leave gaps about the side. This can be a difficult rubber/soft plastic kind of feeling case, and I like that. I believe it provides the best balance of cushion from a fall (more than a hardshell case) but is not floppy or perhaps a dust magnet like a silicone case. It provides the back of the iPhone a frosted gray look, but the sides and front are clear so it is possible to still see the stunning metal on the sides. I genuinely like this case a good deal and program to get a black version for my wife.
yes, but you need the fundamental internet’call 611 and tell them you got a samsung gravity and you need the simple web2go, given that the samsung gravity utilizes the standard web2go you could use it using the iphone. have enjoyable along with your new iphone!
I compared the cable I received with my original iPhone 4 and three cables. I cannot tell any differences other than a slightly various really feel with the rubber/plastic material along the cable length, which by the way also differs between my genuine Apple iphone four and 3 cables. One more reviewer posted pictures on Amazon in which the cable in question appeared to have a slightly wider or bigger connectors, but mine are identical in size, and appearance.
I browsed Amazon for weeks teetering between about three distinctive sellers for my replacement dock cables for charging/syncing my iPhone four, iPhone 3GS, and 160Gig iPod Classic. I identified these cables to be the least pricey from the ones with predominately “good” reviews. There were a number of individuals who mentioned they got the “real thing” once they ordered the cables as “OEM Apple cables”, a few men and women who mentioned the cables had been excellent but not “OEM Apple” excellent, and finally there were a handful of who said to “stay away from these cables” simply because they tore up simply. I figured I’d likelihood it and order them. I’m Extremely PLEASED that I did. I ordered the cables 3/29/11 and was given a forecasted delivery date of 4/4 to 4/7/11. I received the cables at this time (4/1/11). Incredibly SPEEDY SHIPPING!!!! The cables had been sent through USPS in a little brown envelope that was coated inside with bubble wrap. The cables were coiled up, considerably as anyone would coil a dock connector cable for storage with plastic wraps that were comparable towards the style wraps for the cables that come with all new Apple goods. I was curious but kind of dreading opening the package due to the fact I just knew these cables would not fit my iPhone four using the bumper like just practically every other “after market” cable I’ve seen. I was PLEASANTLY Surprised when I saw the style of these cables. They may be as close to getting “OEM Apple” cables as I’ve ever seen with no basically getting “Apple cables”. They fit snugly in all of my iDevices, charge the four, 3GS, and Classic with NO Problems. I tested the sync speed with the cable and found it rivals the speed from the newest “Apple cable” that was included with my iPhone four obtain back in July 2010. I Extremely Advise THESE CABLES!!!! If you are an iPhone four owner who uses a bumper, GET THESE CABLES!!! THEY Work!!! I’ve also taken “comparison” photos and posted them towards the “user pictures” on this item’s display. Hope my assessment is valuable and thanks to everybody who writes these reviews and to everybody who reads them. Together we are able to support each other be sure we get what we spend for!

priced between $45 and $75. Even though it does not exactly convert an iPod Touch into an iPhone, but it adds the simple capabilities of a phone to your iPhone,
cell phones present really unique kind of sexiness. That is why a lot of of you might have been waiting for the white iPhone 4. Regrettably, it really is been put off for a number of times by Apple. But when you nonetheless want a
Custom Search White iPhone 4 ornament for Christmas You’ve been waiting for the White iPhone 4, but however, the lots of factors from Apple have put the white iPhone 4 to a delay, which is
I watched this video with my iphone4 haha
So I purchased the Unbelievable 2 last week and have been playing with it all week and so far adore all that it could do. But I’m a mac person & I’m trying to decide if I really should switch for the Iphone for that reason. I’m thinking the switch is going to become much easier, but I do really like all the free apps and also the music downloads as well as the speaker dictator on the Outstanding.. I’m so confused!!
Positive the unbelievable is actually a tad bit faster on loading apps than the iPhone. But believe of it this way, look how lots of steps it takes to get to that app on the droid. For example the camera test, it took about 3 seconds for him just to find the app vs the camera one click away on the iPhone. Just my 2cents.
This really is my husband’s case. We have the VERIZON iPhone four. In fact, this case is selling in the Verizon store for $29.99! It fits very properly and he really wanted a clip on holster as he wears his phone on his belt along with a pager. The telephone slides in and out of the holster easily and I enjoy the textured feel of this case. While in the holster, he has complete access for the power button, if he wanted to quickly route a call to voicemail. Mostly, I am envious from the NEAT slide out kickstand on the back. I was even thinking of buying 1 for myself and using it solo (without the holster) as it still offers decent protection outside of its holster. It’s a properly designed kickstand for viewing in each vertical and horizontal positions. The kickstand slides out forming a triangle stand. You will be very pleased.
I enjoy cases a great deal. In fact, I normally switch phone cases two to three times a week. Just so I’ve something new to really feel and look at. At least that was till I found this case. I’ve AT&T, but a friend of mine has this case for his Verizon iPhone. I fell in enjoy with the case once I saw it. I could not find this case in any store, so I somehow got what this case was called, searched it on amazon.com, and lastly found it. This case is the absolute greatest case you could own for the iPhone four. I would know, for the reason that I’ve gone by means of them all. Even the ever so famous Otterbox doesn’t compare. This particular case features a good really feel and texture to it, it doesn’t add bulk, there’s straightforward access to all with the buttons (for AT&T AND Verizon), it has an awesome kickstand built into the case, it also features a belt clip which I don’t normally use except for running which it’s ideal for! I would Surely advise you acquiring this case! It is amazing!
This case is awesome. I purchased it from Verizon for $30. I’ve dropped my phone a dozen occasions and lastly I broke the case, but the iphone is fine. The kickstand is awesome and works whether you’ve got it standing up or on it really is side. It’s pure genius and makes watching videos excellent.
iphone is negative hhahahahahhahaha!
Will be the battery lide far better than the iPhone4? Seriously important to me! i’ve in no way tried an android phone with the similar battery lide as my iPhone…
jesus the infuse is obese. seriously does anybody want that in their pocket? o wait i forgot it has 4g ZOMG 4G4G4G4G4G4G4G 4G Is the Ideal MUST HAVE jk shit sucks awful battery life. android can blow me zomg what a lovely screen that doesnt even come close to iphones retina display. i truly hope apple doesnt fall for the 4g hype with iphone 5.
I find it funny that folks is talking concerning the iPhone 5 as a successor for the iPhone 4S. The next 1 will be iPhone 6.
I’m starting to think that Apple is adopting a variation of Intel’s tick-tock item release model. iPhone 3, iPhone four, and presumably iPhone 5 were/will be major hardware updates (ticks) whreas iPhone 3s and iPhone 4s had been updates within a current product (tocks). iPad to iPad 2 seems like a tock a nicely.
God bless Steve Jobs. He’s produced Apple a tool to learn and have entertaining undertaking it. May he rest in peace (you’ve earned it Steve).

The Apple iPhone 4S was a huge sellout selling additional than 4m handsets in three days, i dont believe they will exceed the Samsung galaxy s2 10m sales however if the mobile was iPhone 5 then this would happen to be possible. the 4S was a disappointment to many as it was the last iPhone to be built under Steve Jobs so numerous believe the iPhone 5 will be a flop or something completely distinctive. The main question is how impressed are you with Siri ?
I’m not ready to upgrade just yet. I’ll be waiting for the iPhone 5. My iPhone 4 has served me nicely. And though I’d like to use Siri, I can wait just just a little bit longer.
the iphone 5 launch was lengthy awaited and then when 4S was released with Siri it was abit of a disapointment however if five does come out then it will be awesome, however not incredibly pleased that iphone 4 users can’t have siri

Hi, I have been quite a lurker on your website and wanted to break my silence. Your post on Las Vegas Dentist, iPhone 4 Unboxing these days was simply awesome.

apple has already release iOS 5.0.1 beta to developers to confirm it completely fixes the battery drain problem
Right after searching by way of the photos and videos, I can barely distinguish in between the two phones it seems that the SoPhone has literally copied the aesthetics in the iPhone. In fact, the SoPhone could technically be considered by some to be a counterfeit excellent, and I am surprised that Apple has not done anything about this concern, especially because it’s known to take action against other manufacturers for stealing ideas, which seems to be what the SoPhone has done. I also located the price distinction in between the two phones to be quite interesting. I expected the price of the SoPhone to be significantly lower, because the main purpose of knock-offs and counterfeits is to provide consumers with comparable or copied products for much lower prices, but the iPhone is only $50 additional than the SoPhone. Wouldn’t that put the SoPhone at a disadvantage? Why not just spend $50 and get the genuine thing instead of a copy with the similar exterior but an interior of lower high quality?
Fuck apple samsung , really like samsung apple
Build top quality goes towards the iphone. Hands down there is certainly no superior phone out there which is sexier than an Iphone.
fuck samsung really like apple
Android is sloppy and buggy. The tiny bit of gained speed isn’t worth it. iPhone 4s ftw.
iPhone 4s has superior graphics (retina display) and better gaming graphics. Easier OS, and for cool shit on iPhone, you jailbreak it. Siri is fukn 10x greater than android voice recognition bullshit. And also the camera is improved. 4s all of the way
apple is an excellent telephone but so is android phones. i personally like iphones. i just recently tried the samsung infuse 4g which i got about two months ago and am now switching to the iphone 4s. i my opinion only thing superior about samsung infuse is screens bigger and widgets. i like widgets but i do jailbreak my devices and like that improved than just getting widgets. in my opinion iphone is superior and i’ve tried an excellent android telephone
This guy is absolutely an apple fan lol there were a bunch of tests the s2 won and he said they were even I laughed at his denial lol and also the video is no comparison lol the iphone was all choppy lol the game too it was a big distinction..
iPhone 4s sucks
Sad to see Apple losing these days.
Someone assist I’m getting a new telephone for Christmas it really is between the iPhone 4s as well as the Samsung galaxy s 2 skyrocket in
All comparisons between phones is based mainly on speed, and therefore flawed. It really is not how fast each phone is on individual tasks, such as opening apps or loading web pages, but how fast AND effective it can be in everyday use. And that is where the iPhone 4s is unequaled. For example, the 8MP cameras on both phones activate quickly, but the iPhone 4s can take greater pictures considerably faster than the S2. This is simply 1 from the many ways the 4S is “faster” even than the S2 in genuine life use.
X SIEMPRE APPLE !!! SAMSUNG LE COPIA TODO A APPLE !!! APPLE FOREVER!!!!!! EN TODO ES SUPERIOR APPLE!!!!!!

this case is brilliant! it fits perfectly, its good an detailed and it looks genuinely excellent on a white iphone four.
iPhone 4S could be the greatest telephone ever ! Just received it from Sprint and I cannot stop playing with it and Siri
I got an iPhone 4S as soon as they were in the Apple store! To be honest, I don’t definitely care that this version in the iPhone has the exact same style in the iPhone 4. It was a great style, and it really is understandable why Apple would keep it for this generation. I’m glad that my new telephone is faster than my old one. I had a 3GS and it was terrific! The only thing was it was starting to slow down and show its age. The place where I noticed the biggest improvement was streaming. I like using the DISH Remote Access app, which is from my employer DISH Network mainly because it pretty much lets me take my TV with me wherever I go. Any channel that I subscribe to or thing that I’ve recorded can be streamed to my phone. Also, since the app doesn’t save anything to my telephone, I have extra space for songs and my documents. It genuinely would be the best telephone Apple has made.

Funny how the Galaxy S II is often a couple of months old and it’s even far better than the iPhone 4S.
Alright iPhone 4S is fantastic, no doubt. But the Samsung Galaxy S II would be the industrial standard now, whether you like it or not.
This review was completely biased. I’ve the galaxy SII, and right after a week, I went back to my iPhone 4. It was a heap of crap. The battery life is shocking, even when all location services and all applications are closed, it still only lasted for at Most, 7 hours. It was quite frustrating! I’m now receiving iPhone 4s. RIP Steve Jobs
Extremely biased towards the Samsung. Apple’s iPhone is more of a niche’ item, you either like it or you do not. Android may have lots of cool features and what not, Apple’s merchandise are high good quality, based on what Apple feels is right. You either trust their opinion or you don’t. I’ve owned each Android and iOS devices and I’ve created my decision.
Thats the worst evaluation ever. Its clearly, that this guy is an android fanboy. The camera of iphone 4s just isn’t lis not lagging like this.
check out the Samsung Galaxy Note…. truly blows the crap out of any smartphone out there!! including any demented iPhone “Fanboys” lol
wow i truly wished that the iphone will at least win the camera one however it didnt… it even lagged i believe. wtf apple you cannt even be far better then a phone that came out a year ago??
As expected, a different crap item by Apple.
i enjoy the iphonee! I just got my beta iPhone 4s for Free, simply google: iPhone4sGiveaway.info

Just few iPhone disadvantages:
It is iPhone 4s not 4g
Why did they not try to turn it on? It wasn’t nitrogen what killed the iPhone, but the brute force O_o
Very first time i was pleased about wrecknology, and Apple whipped you…”Yea 4Gs blah blah, but we cant do it, so lets use this old peace of shit”. Lame…and Chis Hardwick throws like girl.
yea, the promotion for creating a hype just started, got my iPhone 4s for free yesterday, loving the siri simply google for: iPhone4sGiveaway.info
I got my iPhone at no cost from blackiphone4.gu.ma
Nice, but I prefer my iPhone’s unwrecked. I got the new iPhone 4S for FREE. Check out my channel to find out how.
Hey very good video here mate. I enjoy the iPhone 4s. When my FB friends reconmended me to text (txtme iPhone4s) To (368638) to get 1 free, I was all over it.
Nice review. I in no way thought the display would be less rich and call quality would go down. I bought a 32GB iPhone 4 a couple weeks prior to the 4S came out due to the fact my Droid broke and had to have a telephone. I’m quite pleased but I wish Siri could be on it even if it meant a jailbreak.
How did get ur iphone to show the battery life percentage beside the battery bar?
Display is improved on the iPhone 4? When I checked the 4s in AT&T, the display was excellent. Is this 1 of those problems that’s only noticeable through comparison?
I feel what iPhone has done with Buying siri as well as the current plus future potential is amazing and endless for it. However I agree with everything else said.
Kill the IPhone !!!!!
I’ve the previous version from the iPhone. My new 1 is due in this week. The iPhone has way extra applications to do things I choose to do like record audio. The new 1 shoots video and directly uploads to YouTube. The browser is really a “full” 1 that works just like on your computer. There are a whole lot of advantages more than a Blackberry, not to say Blackberrys are poor.
Wait, men and women use their iPhones to make phone calls?

Worked on iPhone 4, OS four.three.3 as advertised, almost: Old songs remained on telephone and telephone player decided to regenerate database soon after HashInfo was generated and copied as instructed. Promissing, correct? However, apparently something went wrong with that as phone was not in a position to play correct songs mostly skipping to some random songs. To fix, had to delete all song on phone using rhythmbox and synced once more. Now telephone player claimed that nothing was there. By no means mind, subsequently connecting to iTunes fixed the database with all songs now showing up and playing correctly. Now rhythmbox can also sync correctly. In sumarry, looks to me like iTunes is needed at least once to initialize that database correctly. Also, as I read someplace before jailbreak, got to become ready to attempt things many times … so very true.
Test of Gelaskin for iphone 4s…
I in fact have it on my MacBook and I have to say that at initial it felt a little weird for the reason that I was so made use of to feeling the smooth aluminum, but following a short though I liked it better since it made it not so smooth. It gave me some grip that was needed and as far as it being too thick, it is not. It doesn’t really feel like it takes away from the flush touchpad. However, on the iPhone, depending on how square the cut is, touching the screen can feel type of strange simply because you constantly rub up on the edges in the skin.
Boooooooooooooooo Apple!!!!!!! Very good article though, Brandon.
I am so excited regarding the iphone and its capabilities. It will be a huge jump for a good deal of people who engage in the mobile commerce industry.
I just got a new iphone 4s and i found it pretty very good. The greatest Apple has made so far to me.
I’ve had few types of iPhone 4 bumpers and circumstances and they all seem to offer distinctive strengths and weaknesses. Here are my thoughts on this particular case:
I’ve had my white iPhone four considering that it came out and I’ve had a challenging time finding a case that wasn’t to bulky but also was a very good match for the color from the phone. Right after looking around at other merchandise like this such as the Incipio Feather and CaseMate Barely There. However I want something that was a soft touch and had a very good color contrast for for the white. This was a Ideal match. The “jean” blue makes a fantastic color contrast off the white and still shows off the white iPhone adequate. Really easy to hold and grip too as fits the telephone perfectly. Have not dropped it but *knocks on wood* so I cannot comment on protection but I was much more concerned about the back in the telephone receiving scratched up from putting it on tables and such and this protects against that perfectly.
This product came quickly in the mail. When I opened the package, it had bubble wrap and packing peanuts. The item was well protected for shipping. Im using this item on my Iphone right now and its working perfectly. This can be a fantastic item and I would suggest it.
i have a quick question…i supposedly read that the iphone 4s unlock version from apple will be able to use tmobile 3g frequency..and i was wonder if i get a at&t 4s jailbroken will it nonetheless work? (hypothetically speaking since the baseband bullshit wouldnt be unlockable)
Definately going to watch your iphone 4S unboxing on my iphone 4S.(:
I’ve absolutely no idea why so numerous people are saying they’re disappointed mainly because there’s no re-design or iPhone 5.
The factor about Apple is the fact that they like to screw their customers more than they release a product that’s always missing something, very first is was you couldn’t txt images then only txt photos to iphones only then you’ll be able to do video chat but only if you are connected to WiFi if I’m gonna connect to WiFi at home I’ll connect on my computer now they come out with a NEW the most advance phone in the world but …… No 4G and still no Flash Player even tho their computers have it.
Howdy! I could have sworn Ive been to this web-site ahead of but immediately after browsing through some with the post I realized its new to me. Anyways, Im undoubtedly glad I found it and Ill be book-marking and checking back normally!
