I have purchased Vaja cases for all my electronic devices since 2001. I hadn't yet grabbed one for my iPhone though, since I wasn't sure how long it would take Apple to change the design. I'm really happy I didn't get one for the first gen, and when I received my 3G last year for my birthday I still hesitated, thinking maybe the design was going to change in 2009. (In retrospect it wouldn't have made any difference, because I stayed with the 3G anyway).
I thought it would be a cool 50th birthday gift to myself to order a Vaja, so started working through the choices. That made my brain freeze and I had all but given up when I looked on eBay. There I found my latest case addition: bright pink Vaja with sunflower, green, and blue stripes. It wasn't until I purchased her that I realized the color combo was really clever: the stripes are the same as the color as the indicators in iTunes for audio, photos and apps.

I decided I wanted an "easy on" case for my iPhone. I also wanted one that looked good while protecting my phone. While browsing through images I found one that "fit the bill". The Handwoven series of More cases.

Today, I'm going to talk about the IMP500A external charger for the iPhone 3G, 3GS and 2nd generation iPod Touch. When I mention iPhone throughout this review, I'm also referring to all three devices mentioned above.
This thing is a beast. 5000mAh of pure charging goodness wrapped up in a well-constructed high-impact plastic case.

My relationship with my iPhone over the last two years draws a lot of similarities to my relationships with that of the opposite sex. I've been with the iPhone since June 29, 2007 but have had many affairs with other phones since only to come right back to it. Ok, that sounds bad, no I've never had an affair or cheated on my wife, but I'm so good at finding the slightest imperfection. Anyhow, as close to perfect as the iPhone has always been I've always found those slight and sometimes major imperfections that just drive me crazy. This has led me to many phones in the past two years beginning with the hideous AT&T Tilt. Following up the mistake that was the Tilt was the Nokia N95-3, then back to the iPhone, then the N95-4, back to the iPhone, Nokia E71, back to the iPhone, iPhone 3G, Nokia N85, G1, back to the iPhone 3G, Blackberry Bold, Blackberry Storm, Xperia X1a, back to iPhone 3G. I still have the Blackberry Bold and use it as my workhorse, but all of the other phones have either been sold off or put into retirement.
Enter the Palm Pre. Wow. This phone has the most breathtaking UI I have ever seen. The screen is slightly smaller than the iPhone's but has the same pixel count making it look as crisp as any screen I've seen with the exception of the Bold. Multitasking (using the cards is awesome), full Facebook integration, free turn by turn navigation, a slide out keyboard that I really liked, nice camera with a flash, and a beautiful design. What was there not to like? I had a two week fling with the Pre where I was simply in love. The only things currently lacking from the Pre would be apps, video, an onscreen keyboard, and flash support. Flash support and apps are already certainties to come and on screen keyboard and video are highly likely to show up via an update. The browser was on par with the iPhone's and dare I say it, I actually enjoyed using it more than the iPhone's. Pages such as Myspace and Facebook update realtime in the browser and they support the full site including the IM feature of Facebook. Data speeds on Sprint were blazing fast. I constantly was showing 2.3 Mbps in speed tests. I still was uneasy about switching to a CDMA carrier however.

AT&T has announced today they are releasing a turn-by-turn GPS navigation application dubbed the AT&T Navigator. The app is currently available for $9.99 a month from Apple's App Store on the iPhone and iPod touch. AT&T is quoted below about their new product hitting the shelfs.
“AT&T Navigator has been one of our most popular and best-performing apps since we launched it last year,” said Mark Collins, vice president of voice and data products for AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. “With the new iPhone OS 3.0 software, we’re expanding the advantages of true turn-by-turn navigation – both voice and on-screen directions – to millions more customers. We’re bringing greater convenience to drivers and travelers nationwide, including providing regular, automatic updates to map information at no charge so customers have the latest at their fingertips.”

Incipio as of now has been the only company I have entrusted with protecting my investment. For many of iPhone fans, the iPhone is just an accessory they use on a daily basis. I for one only have limited funds and must protect my money as well as possible. Like some avid iPhone users, I do jailbreak and unlock phones for sale on ebay. So with every new iPhone that hits the market, I must ensure that my phone will stay in tip top condition before I unload the phone for sale prior to the next iPhone release. With explaining my financial situations, you know get a glimpse of how much effort went into finding a well balanced case that will stand the test of time.

I camped out for the 3G S launch so that I could be near the front of the line. The Apple employees greeted us at the store doors with fanfare and applause and made me feel like a desired, appreciated customer, and a part of something bigger than me, something to remember. Unfortunately, the iPhone 3G S comes cuffed to one of the dumbest companies on the planet, and that is souring my Apple.
The buying process was painless and amazingly flexible. I was just shy in the bank, so I paid for part of it with cash (they did that by using a gift card to do it). When I did the credit check at the reservation process beforehand, it informed me I would have to pay a $750 deposit on top of the $299 32-gig phone and a 2-year contract. I spoke with the representative who greeted me at the store to take my order, and asked if there was a way I didn't have to do a 2-year contract. No problem, just pay the full price for $747.93 after tax! That's a little easier to swallow than the $1,087.93 I'd have had to pay to do the 2-year agreement. So, that's what I did. But he didn't get the full story from AT&T. Neither did the AT&T employee I called before opening the phone in order to verify.
