Could be

When you're moving icons, to another page, try grabbing the icon on the edge farthest from the direction you're moving it, seems to work really well for me.

Out of curiosity, is the case a lint magnet? Also, for those with the white case, does it get dirty easily? And if so, is it easy to clean? Thanks!

The case is not really a lint magnet. I have yellow, black, and my wife has pink, so I cannot help on the white case. Cleaning for me is a breeze, I just dust off the hard plastic and the screen protector using microfiber. I put the skin part in clean dishwater and just clean it by hand. I then dry it thoroughly and put it all back together.

There are much thinner cases that survive the normal "6 foot" drop just as well as this bulky Otterbox. Just my opinion, my co-worker has one on his who sits right next to me and this thing is just too beastly for the elegant iPhone. The only time I think this case would be appropriate is if you're a construction worker or something...

Or for someone who tends to drop their $600 phone when getting out of their truck. I've had other phones and have tried all types of cases. And this one is by far the one that gives me the most confidence.

To each his own. It just doesn't do it for me.

Not really a lint magnet, but it does have the textured feel to it, so certain things do stick to it quite easily. However, cleaning the rubber part is pretty simple, most of the stuff mine has collected came off just by rubbing my fingers over it. If it ever does get really dirty, like mentioned above a simple wash in some warm water will do the trick (rubber part only!).

I just got my white one in yesterday, and I love this thing. My friend has the black case on his 3G, and for whatever reason, the black appears to make the phone look much bigger when compared to the white.
