You want to talk about crazy...here goes:
Bought the phone on the 29th at an AT&T store (unfortunate but true) with a crappy Griffin Case. RETURNED CASE CAUSE WAS TERRIBLE
Got really excited about the inCase protective rubber case, Apple only had Red in stock, liked it but color just had to go. RETURNED IT CAUSE BLACK IS THE NEW BLACK
Finally got my hands around the Black inCase case, thought it was great. Then I read a thread about how it gets loose and scratches the chrome when particles get stuck....so what do i do? I TAKE IT OFF, it gets loose (was fine before) and proceeds to scratch the chrome in the next few days. Probably should have just left it on and not been such a nervous Nellie. RETURNED IT CAUSE IT SCRATCHED MY CHROME.
Picked up the clear Power Jacket from Crystal. Thought I liked the case...seemed decent enough and the screen protector was fantastic. Looseness of case scratched chrome as well. Started reading a thread about the 7 series screen. Took the protector off sent to apple care, got it back (same phone-no problem found). This time I said to myself hey, I'll just return the power jacket and only use the crystal screen protector (had to buy a new set of course, once you take off its pretty much done). RETURNED PHONE, GOT IT BACK, RETURNED POWER JACKET.
So here I am with my new old iPhone (actually like the 7 series better...my own opinion) and found myself looking at a nicely protected screen but scratched chrome. I purchased the black inCase yet again, and I swear to you all that I will never take it off...EVER!
So here's what I've learned in the process. QUIT WORRYING. I could baby the hell out of it, always keep the shamie in my pocket to clean smudges, sing to it, do whatever it takes but the fact of the matter is - WEAR AND TEAR is gonna happen. All this back and forth, searching for the right solution, trying to keep it perfect. WHO CARES? Yes its 600 bucks but you know what... a 600 dollar iPhone with a scratch on the chrome performs just as well as a 600 dollar iPhone without scratches. It simply doesn't matter.
The inCase case looks terrific, I mean its arguably better looking with the case on than off. It doesn't matter whats happening underneath cause nobody will ever see it. The case is protected, the screen is protected....time to just enjoy it and use it for what its meant for.
Now if the case gets scratched...then I'm screwed
