BOSS BATTLES DID NOTHING WRONG
I don't drop on concrete often, if ever. And my $10 Belkin has served my 4s well, so I don't think I need a bulky childproof case???

Anyway, the case I got from Amazon came and it's flimsy and cheap feeling. I'm gonna go to the Apple Store and check out their cases because real-talk I want my phone to look sexy. I care way too much about that, so, yeah.

I'm thinking either a midnight blue leather or a lighter colored silicone to match the white face of the rose gold.

Or I guess maybe the brown leather since this thread is so high on it.

COWABUNGA DUDES!
🥷🐢😬



I've always had separate UK and US iTunes accounts, but never used my iCloud account for the store as I made those accounts prior to it existing.

Now I'd like my iCloud email address to be US iTMS based even though I setup iCloud while in the UK. Is this possible to change? Im gonna guess 'no', but hoping otherwise. I logged into it for the first time and it's just auto assumed UK account.

Having my primarily iTunes account tied to my iCloud account just feels so much easier. My current US account doesn't have any payment methods and is tied to a throwaway email address I only use for spam.

e: found out how to do it in iTunes on my Mac, but it's the first time I've tried to use my credit card that isn't tied to a US address and had it declined. Good on Apple for enforcing that, but pain in the butt for me until I get that sorted.

That possibility occurred to me, but no, it's not that.

I hope the 5se or w/e maintains the 5/5s casing design. I'm probably going to limp along on a Lumia until the 18th, as I already got rid of my old phone because I wagered I wouldn't have a problem this time around.

The loose pants are probably too loose. Instead of having constant uniform pressure the phone is experiencing repeated impacts against surfaces you lean against or your butt bones or something.

For some reason, I get a notification constantly that there's not enough room on iCloud for my iphone to back up. I check the details and there seems to be plenty space. I've even turned off Camera Roll backups, because I use Dropbox for that. Anyone else had this problem? Am I missing something obvious here?

64gb iphone and the default 5gb iCloud storage space. However, the phone tells me that the backup will be smaller than the available iCloud space. This is also a recent thing, I've never been told earlier that the backups are too big for iCloud.

Have you deleted your last backup and signed out and back in? (Probably run an iTunes backup before this though it shouldn't make a difference.)

if she just wants "pretty," the otterbox Symmetry series has a bunch of artsy designs, and the MySymmetry series has like 30 swappable inserts

http://www.case-mate.com/ this place has a lot of actually sparkly things. my wife has one of their glitter cases that she really likes, and it has the added benefit of entrancing babies and toddlers

It looks like I'll be going to Europe with my ATT 6S next month, but it's locked.

I know back in the day unlocks were painless but I remember they got more difficult in recent years. Does anyone know the reliablity of these guys on eBay? It's only $7 which seems too good to be true, but the guy has great feedback:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-iPhon...r4AAOSwa-dWk2Yr

I figure there is no point going to ATT directly, right? I technically have 6 months on my contract but maybe they'll unlock me anyways since we've been ATT customers for 10+ years, always pay on time, etc? But I don't think they care about that...

Might as well ask. The worst that could happen is they'll say no.

Pretty sure there's an ATT thread that'll have a more definitive answer. I was also recently told that att will do temporary unlocks (eg one month and then relock it) but I don't know if this is true.

After more research it turns out I can get out of my contract with just a phone call. I'm on the old unlimited plan which recently had a price hike. Since they changed the contract terms it's now void.

A quick call to Support should get my contract wiped out then the unlock should go right through.

Wrapping your phone in some poo poo cancer-riddled plastic like that right there is a big loving fail.

It's almost as dumb as buying a loving case for an Apple Watch. Like, there's a whole market of watch cases and it's the dumbest loving thing.
