QUOTE(nevic @ Nov 25 2010, 10:22 AM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Hello all iPhone lovers,just to share a bit of my experience how I prevent iPhone/iPod Touch from small tiny scratches that cause by small dust trap in cases.The method I'll share here will cost u small bucks but will give u the enough protection.Might not be good in out look but,well u can get branded Invisible Shield if you like.Just some sharing.TRY at your OWN risk.
1.For the Home Button Home Button for iPhone 4 or anything similar are not made from glass,so they are actually quite vulnerable for hair line scratches , or worst big scratches.Most low-mid range Screen Protector do not offer small piece of cut out to protect your button,so what I do is
-Get a case that cover the Home Button example : switcheasy colors -Get a box of Transparent Warping (those that apply to cover food) -Clean Hands -Cut a small piece of the transparent warping,fold 2~3 times and cover it on the Home Button -After firmly attach it to the Home Button,slide it in the case.
The idea here is simple, sometimes trap dust will go inside the case and will cause the rubber to rub on the small dust then rub on the plastic surface of the button,from that it will cause tiny hairline scratch,it will be even more easy if it's left bare.So having a layer of transparent warping on top before direct contact with the home button will reduce the chance of small dust getting trap in between and cause scratches.
2.For iPhone 4 Stainless Steel Band If you look through the web,there are topic circling that iPhone 4 original bumpers will case scratches to the stainless steel band.It is true that if dust trap between hard case,or very tight fitting silicon case it will give small dent,scratches on the stainless steel band.The stainless steel band is not as strong as it seems to be.
-Get a soft silicon case -Get a box of Transparent Warping (those that apply to cover food) -Clean Hands -Cut a long piece and fold itself 2~3 times,then carefully warp around the stainless steel band -Carefully fit the phone into the case,and be sure that it covers properly the steel band to prevent dust reaching it.
Finally,i found that transparent warping is good to prevent small dust,and can provide light protection to smaller areas of the phone like the front camera or the back camera.The following guide can be done with out getting a case,but it will look ugly.Hope it helps.^^
 Zagg InvincibleSHIELD total protection, minus the hassle

QUOTE(s3an_looi @ Jan 6 2011, 05:44 PM) My Vapor caused my GPS to go haywire.. most of the time it won't be able to lock on to my position. I compared side by side with a naked iphone and with my vapor-iphone... the naked one had it's GPS position locked in 5-10 seconds, the vapor either took forever or never got a lock. funny coz my Vapor AR-15V never give me such problem. Which Vapor are you ?

QUOTE(ssilverr82 @ Jan 10 2011, 09:54 PM) that'll be cool dude, but i found a better way of improving the signal, if u have carbon fiber leftovers just align the inside with it. Try it out if u have a Vapor. Added on January 10, 2011, 9:55 pmLOL!!!  a combination of all eh? mine is aligned with zagg invincibleSHIELD, front, back, top, bottom & sides. no wonder never encounter signal drop

I just got mine today and found that it will weak the signal ..  .. too bad ..  .. any1 face the same problem or just me? there is no OEM Vapor case. either it's original or fake. imagine, if the manufacturer can't even cope to supply the main Vapor online site, can they still produce more to sell at a cheaper price? do you know how long is Vapor waiting list?
