First, thanks again to Element Case for the awesome TiPb branded casing nirvana (see Jeremy’s review) they provided for us to pass along to you, our readers. Second, thanks very much to everyone who participated in our first 2 (of a total 3 — 1 more still to come!) Element Case give-away’s!
Give away #1 involved heading over to our forums and telling us why YOU needed Element Case-caliber for your iPhone. Many of you shared great, funny, sad, and in some cases inspiring stories. Everyone who shared got an entry, and from all those eligible entries we got our first winner:
Give away #2 was for those of you who joined us in the chat room for iPhone Live! We gave you a secret code word and you emailed it to us. Everyone who emailed the code word got an entry, and from those eligible entries, we got our second winner:
Congrats to both of you! We’ll contact you directly to arrange delivery of your custom TiPb Element Case, and everyone else — keep your eyes peeled because we still have one (1) case left to give away!

We missed iPhone Live! last week due to the hectic pace imposed by Macworld and CES, so just like last time when yours truly invaded Phone different, this time Phone different is invading iPhone Live!
Join me in joining TiPb’s editor-in-chief, Dieter Bohn, and editor-emeritus, Mike Overbo, for a special Macworld-roundup edition of Phone different on iPhone Live tonight at 8pm EST.
And did we mention we’ll be giving away one of the custom TiPb branded Element Cases to one lucky live chatter? That’s right. Get the details tonight via:

See ya there!

Chris all of a sudden has a better 3G signal on his iPhone 3G… how about you? Seems as if AT&T is quietly beefing up their network… even with a couple outages as of late.
Next up we have spidermanroach wants to know Applecare or no Applecare? What do you think? Is it worth it? Personally I feel it depends on your needs and how long you will be keeping the device. Don’t be shy, chime in and let us know what you think.
This thread is a old one, but more and more people are always asking how do I create my own ringtones for free??? So for anyone who wants the answer to that question be sure to check out the following thread: Make my own ringtones? It’s simple and to the point, enjoy!
