It would have been nice to get one for free.

Oh well, now I gotta buy one in a few weeks to work the speaker docks.

I only need it with my car charger with aux output. But I hear there may be compatibility issues with audio out.

So instead of spending the what $29 for it? I'll just spend a little more and get a stereo Bluetooth adaptor with a USB port

IMO, the gorilla glass and anti-smudging application doesn't need a Zagg protector. I tried Zagg, but took it off because the edges of the material began to look horrible.

I do have a flip carry case that I use, but for the most part I decided not to cover the beauty of the phone.

It's a pretty good bumper because it fits tight ()

And it's all hard plastic. Saved my phone from some drops that's I've had recently.


Funny never dropped my iPhone until the past few months



Only think I don't like about it is that you can't use a screen protector unless you modify it to make it a little smaller.

I don't worry about the screen, it's pretty tough.

oh so no adapter? oops. I guess I will conveniently forget to update my FB pic with that 'piece' of information. See, I can be an Apple-buttlicking sheeple if I want to, as well!

I bought two of them, and they are great, very slim, protect well and the kickstand is perfect. Oh yeah, it's 8 bux!

PS the one I have has no ridges, it's smooth silicone.

WTF iphone 5 won't be compatible with existing BMW ipod adaptor? Looks like I'm sticking with the 4S. I was going to be like Jupes and pay retail for 32 GB. Sprint recently switched from 12 to 18 month upgrade eligibility period which for me isn't until next July.

"BMW models, use an adapter cable that feeds the analog audio signal from the 30-pin connector to a 1/8-inch audio input, and a USB port to feed control signals between iPhone and car. Lightning does not have the capability to send an analog signal, so Apple's adapter will not work in those vehicles."

Well.... in my drunken stupor last night here in Vegas, I lost my Motorola Atrix during a cab ride.

Went to the ATT site today to buy another phone, and since android has no appealing options, decided to jump back to the Iphone family.

Pre-ordered a 32 gig Iphone 5... and I'm hoping the rumors about the shipping delays are false. Or else I'll be without a cell phone for the rest of september....

Does anyone know if its first come first serve with the pre order deal?

I thought apple would have been ready for the high numbers and been ready with plenty to ship right away. One week of waiting is bad but now I gotta wait 2!

Yeah, everyone at work with the 4 is getting the 5 while the 4s guys are waiting for the 5s?

Yeah that's a big negative since the BMW ipod adaptor allows me to use the iDrive and scroll through playlists, etc. using the navigation screen while concurrently charging the 4S. The F-car is bluetooth so I have to scroll using my 4S.
