So Smartcover for iPad, should we have one for iPhone? Good idea or not?

I would say not, simply because unlike the ipad, you're going to be dropping your iphone in and out of your pocket repeatedly throughout the day - I consider it highly unlikely that they'd be using magnets strong enough to hold it on there, even while going through that.

It would be pointless. Do you realize how small the smartcover would have to be? It wouldn't even be worth production. And with the iPhone, you always want to protect the back, never the front. To pull that thing off the screen every two minutes would be super annoying.

The sooner the iPhone 4 goes away the better.

I truly hope that Apple will makeup for this crappy model and do what they're capable of doing. Building the best iPhone ever.

Put the damn antenna back inside so we can hold it anyway we want.

Quit shifting the blame, quit the finger pointing "they all do it", and build a good phone.

Give us a phone that _proves_ what Apple can do.

Then watch them really fly off the shelves.

Quit resting on your already robust sales and sell us a great phone.

Dude
Chill

Despite the antennagate thing, they've still sold a butt-ton of them...and a majority of us who have them are perfectly content with them as they are.

I agree! These phones are completely worthless until they can give me a happy ending and cook me breakfast in the morning!

I was just thinking of this last night. Then I remembered that you constantly have to put it in and take it out of a pocket.

That plus if you had to add magnets into the new iPhone, there's no way they could make it thinner.

Yet another example of Apple closing down products routes for smaller business.

All though in fairness there isn't that much effort involved in making a fabric or leather case if anyone wanted to make there own.

My two cents worth, Smartcover for iPhone = Bad idea.
