His poison shield level very high wun, already put tembok batu around himself as high as the KLCC tower already. *jeling at Hanxz*

Cool! Keep one for me, we deal after I come back from Tokyo.

LOL, subterrain! Hanxz old buddy, you're surrounded on all sides.

Reminder to guys with iPhone 4, I'll be Face-Timing with you guys from Ginza Apple Store around 2-3pm Tokyo time, that is 1-2pm Malaysian time. You'll get to see it LIVE from Tokyo, and I'll see if I can get the SEVEN iPhone 4 Bumpers while I'm there.

I lap you adik Hanxz, Facetime ka, WasteTime, PoopyTime ka, I always available.

ROFLMAO!

Frozzy, Apple Store Buchanan Street in Glasgow ran out of its iPhone 4 allocations. Let's hope it gets replenished by the time you're there, I want Hanxz to get time so we can WasteTime™ together!

The most convenient way would be having your buddies purchase them and pass it to me next month in Sydney or Brisbane. I'm not sure about lining up for 7 hours ++. Becoming "posmen"/"transporter" not a problem, anytime I offer my services.

Posting on behalf of Beavis68, he had to be in Seremban for a wedding dinner.

Good news everyone!



Vapor 4 iPhone 4 case preorder went through smoothly, Beavis just received an Invoice from ElementCase. We are good to go for the second shipment, which ships out in August!

The packaging made the side strips sticks to the front screen protector and left an ugly imprint on the surface. Even after applying with minimal bubbles (I challenge anyone installing the Wrapsol without a single bubble!), the imprint is visible and it is ugly. Threw it in the dustbin.

Yup, pretty warm, around 24C. Should be pleasant enough to walk around.

Beavis is the expert on the screen protector application, I had to ask the folks at MacStudio help do it for me.

They are reliable. Just that I'm not sure if the iPhones would survive the postal journey. I only carry it back "as is".

Nevermindlah. I'm sure by now everyone knows how I look like.

At Apple Store Ginza. Relaxing in the presentation room. Their display showfloor is sardine-packed with patrons trying their hands on the iPhone 4 and iPad. Temperature around 32c here, sweltering heat!

Someone else please take over from me lah, I may not be available and in the country all the time, and others may have a better date in mind than waiting for me be in the country to hold a Gathering/set a date.

Going to Lowyat Plaza now, to get the Simplism iPhone 4 Crystal Clear screen protectors (front and back) fitted in. I've also purchased the official Apple iPhone 4 Dock while I was in The Apple Store Ginza yesterday. Findings? It is PURELY just for the iPhone 4 naked, with the bumper, it will rest on the slot, but the dock connector will not connect into the iPhone, hence will not charge/sync.

Beavis, your Bumper is with me, see you later in KLCC. I am deeply sorry to Harrisoon and ksc_3688/Harmeet, I wish I could help, but the Apple Store staff restricts the purchase of 1 Bumper/person. I've suggested to ksc_3688 about purchasing the Bumpers through Apple Store Online in the US, and get it shipped to my hotel in LA when I'm there between 14-17th this month, let's hope that option is available.

Just sold my 3G[S] for RM 1.5k. That'll be used to fund the 32Gb to be purchased in Australia this month.

Also fitted the Simplism screen protectors on the iPhone 4. The iPhone now looks practically invisible without protection with only the Bumper on its side. Thanks to the guys at MacStudio for fitting it in for me.

Also, after being counter-racuned by them, I'm 70% convinced into buying the Beats Solo HD, either black or red color. The irony is, I saw the damned thing while I was in Apple Store Ginza 2 days back, and I thought it was just a colored version of the normal Beats Solo!

My Beats Solo is already reserved by one of the MacStudio guys there. Beats Solo HD is USD229.90 before tax. This time, even Machines is not selling this model. They are charging a vomit-inducing RM1999 for the old Beats Solo I'm currently using even though it is just USD179.99. The very example of the phrase "cutthroat"!

The Beats Solo HD Product Red Edition:-



Delicious!

You got PM back, MattJ.

FaceTime via local WiFi? Check!

FaceTime via MiFi? Check!

FaceTime internationally, with me in Tokyo and the other FaceTimer in KL? Check!

This opens up whole new possibilities in terms of how we communicate. Next FaceTime, if anyone with the iPhone 4 is up to it, is when I'm in Taipei and LA later. The beauty of LA is, EVERYWHERE is Wifi-connected, even small restaurants or large shopping malls.

Anyone with an iPhone 4 who wants to FaceTime, feel free to msg me.

I need that money rolling for the iPhone 4 purchase from Australia this month. Cant delay any further.

LOL, imagine learning how to cook from a chef halfway across the world just by FaceTiming on the iPhone 4! Imagine the app Epicurious with FaceTime support! The possibilities are endless!

One to one only at the moment. The bandwidth requirement for multi-FaceTime would probably choke the frame rates down to the current 3G video calls.

LOL the catchphrase coined by Hanxz is catching up! I'm all for hooking people up with more poison, but Apple may be thwarting my attempt to get more units. Plus there's HORDES of other drooling Australian iPhone crazies like me there.

Judging from Hanxz's info, my best option now, is Best Buy. Hope the situation improves by the time I get there. I think until the Vapor case ships, the attachment rate of Bumper-iPhone 4 is 1:1!

I've been using my Solo for the better part of the year, and all I have is discoloration on the white band, mostly due to wear. The hinges works as well as it should, the sound gets better and better as it ages, and the comfort and audio seal is as good as I took out of the box a year ago.

I never had a problem with cracked edges, or broken hinges, and I don't baby this thing, I use it while on the plane, on the move, everywhere I go. Maybe my head isn't big enough to force the pads into breaking, nor is my hair is fashioned after some spiky hairdos that would scratch the top section. I wear this most of the time over my cap while I'm on the move, so it does have a smooth surface to rest on. Only when I'm listening on the plane on the MBA/iPhone/iPad that it rests over my hair.

I've come to appreciate the passive noise-isolation method the Beats headphone employs over the negative noise-cancellation used by the Bose QC3 I have, since with passive noise-cancellation, it doesn't introduce that uncomfortable feeling of "overstuffing" your ears with the "anti-noise" soundwave to cancel out ambient noise from the outside. Also with the Beats, compared to the Bose, I don't have to rely on the need to power it up since it doesn't require any power. The earpads are super-comfortable as well.

I was thinking of getting the B&W P5 as well. Now with the Beats Solo HD purchase already made via Amazon, I hope I'm happy enough with it, and NOT stumble upon the P5 when I'm in LA later, and forces another purchase. Same pricepoint for both the P5 and Beats Solo HD.

How FaceTime works.

Already ordered 2, both Product [RED]. Arriving at the LA hotel by 11th.

Switcheasy has just released the Switcheasy Nude for iPhone 4! Here is the link!

I'm a huge fan of their lineup, and swear by the quality of their products. I have two Nudes for my two iPads, and they keep my iPads looking naked and protected at all times.



Now, until I get the Vapor case, I'm getting the Nude Ultra Clear for the iPhone 4! The good news is, shipping to LA is just USD3 compared to USD15 for all international shipping. I may opt to get it shipped to my LA hotel again. What great timing!

EDIT: there's a bit of a complication with their payment system. They're using Paypal, and therefore will probably ship to the address that is tied to your Paypal account. I've emailed them to see if there is any way they could still accept payment via Paypal and ship to LA.

After careful deliberation, I've decided to see if these are available at physical stores rather than buying online. Reason being, I've invested too much on screen protectors (front and back) and with the Nude, the tolerances may not allow these protectors at all, since the Nude is a tight fit. I had to rip out the highgrade wrap on my iPad to fit the Nude in, so I'd see the same case with the iPhone 4 and the Simplism screen protectors I have on the back.

Sigh, didn't know it's gonna be so hard picking the many different protections for the iPhone 4.

EDIT: However, for those owners already with front and back screen protectors like Wrapsol and Simplism, this is anoher alternative:-



The IvySkin iPhone 4 Reception Case. From its description:-



With those bolded info in mind, it means it will fit iphone 4s with front and back screen protectors. But shipping only on 2nd week of July.
