There's also the more obvious solution of simply adding a MicroSD card slot to the iPhone itself.
Oh, wait. Apple can't do that. Because then people will be able to add extra storage to their iPhones without having to buy a new model.
Lost phone, lost money....and pictures, and vids, and case....
The problem with this is that technology is inhuman and the more advances we make- like including credit card info in our iPhone cases- allow for less and less human error.
So if you lose this phone, or break the case by dropping it, you are not only out of communication options, you now have lost your internet connection, your email, your phone numbers, your photos, your map, your texting ability, your money (now), and your mind!
These all-inclusive options are albeit impressive, however seemingly impractical. If I am going to buy a case then I am going to buy one that was specifically designed to do its job: protect! Marware has some of my favorite cases, http://www.marware.com/iphone-cases/iphone-4-cases.
So while the techies keep on trucking towards making my phone something out of a James Bond film (soon we will be able to shave our legs, do our make up, and drink water from them no doubt) I am going to stick with using my phone the conventional way- to communicate.
