User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars IPOD Case
I love the color combination and the ability to use the IPOD while it is still in the case. I also bought one for a girlfriend and she is enjoying it very much!

3 Stars Doesn’t last long
I bought this case for my 160GB iPod classic because I liked the look. I take my iPod everywhere – in my purse, my backpack, my pocket. Very soon after I started using this case (maybe 2-3 months) I already noticed leather around the corners wearing away. Doesn’t look good but also doesn’t affect the effectiveness of the case. After about 9-10 months, though, the little straps that hold the iPod in on the bottom are almost worn away. One is broken and the other is frayed to the halfway point. It protects my iPod from my purse or backpack very well, but I will have to buy a new case because this is almost completely worn at the bottom. Dust and other stuff can still get in, but it provides good protection. I dropped my iPod many times (once from a height of 6-7 feet), and the case did its job of protecting the iPod. If you’re not rough on it, this case it probably good enough for you.

3 Stars Loose
From the picture you can’t see that it slides into the case with nothing to secure it when it’s propped open. I assumed either the fit would be more snug or there would be a little piece of velcro or something to stop the iPod from sliding back out. It’s fine when it’s closed, but when you open it to change songs or something the iPod slip right out.

4 Stars Long time to get here
I like the product, although it was shipped from another company, other than Amazon. It took almost a month for the product to arrive. It arrived the day I was getting ready to file a complaint against the other company.

5 Stars Saving Grace
I love this case. It’s kept my iPod safe from harm, scratches, and dings. It looks sweet and hot. It’s durable, extremely well made, and easy to insert the iPod. If you have one of those car adaptors for the radio, you’ll have to take it out of the case, but that’s no biggy. Get it for all the times you’re walking around with your iPod listening to your favorite tunes.

Backstage: iPhone 3GS Compass Flakiness: Blame The Hardware, Or The OS?

Whenever Apple launches a new product, reports of problems with new and old features alike begin to stream in, and the two questions that we always ask are whether they’re widespread, and whether they’re due to user error, software issues, or hardware issues. For instance, iPhone OS 3.0 Wi-Fi problems were so widely reported by iPod touch-using readers that they didn’t seem isolated, and we’ve had the same issues ourselves—clearly…

Iphone Battery Care – A Guide To A Longer Life

Retaining the quality of your iPhone battery will save you a fair amount of money in the long run, so I would like to take a moment and offer some tips and advice on iPhone battery care and how you can optimize the life and charge of your battery to enable you to keep that cash in your pocket for as long as possible.

So the first thing to mention for iPhone battery care would be a proper charge cycle, a correctly maintained iPhone battery can retain up to 80% of it´s full capacity for 400 full charge and discharge cycles, therefore it is important to not overcharge, or undercharge the battery whenever possible. Allowing your iPhone´s battery to run completely flat once in a while is great, but at other times allow it to run as low as possible before charging it again, and when you do charge try to achieve the maximum charge replacing full life back into the battery.

Achieve the maximum ability from your battery – this will not only help you monitor the life of the battery, but also take us back to tip one and ensure a good charge cycle is in operation. For example an iPhone 3G genuine battery will offer you 12 hours of talk time, 10 hours of video viewing, 9 hours of Wi-Fi use or 30 hours of audio playback from a full charge, try to be aware of how your iPhone is being used and how the battery is standing up to the task – also bearing I mind that standby time is somewhere around the 300 hour mark.

Allow the battery to breathe – if you are charging your battery in some carrying cases they tend to generate excessive heat which can affect the capacity of your battery, if you are aware that your iPhone is becoming warm during it´s charge remove it from it´s case prior to commencing the charge. The ideal temperature for your iPhone and it´s battery is between 32 and 95 Fahrenheit. Also when charging from a USB to a computer ensure that the computer is switched on, a sleeping or turned off computer can cause the iPhone battery to drain which will disturb your charging cycle and degrade the battery.

And one last pointer, is try to generate regular use from your phone, the lithium-based batteries perform better when the electrons are kept active inside, and make sure that whatever happens with your charging the iPhone battery receives your full care by giving it a minimum of one full charge (100% of the battery life) per month.

These iPhone battery care tips have been provided by iPhonePartsPro – your one stop shop online for all iPhone spares, and parts for home repair and maintenance, they also stock a great variety of genuine iPhone batteries for all models and should not be underestimated when you are seeking a quality service.
