LOL....seriously? Sigh. Please post pics of your slick looking case, I can't wait to see the slick case. Nothing looks or feels better than a naked iPhone. Obviously you have no idea about applecare+ because you think that you have to send it in. And then you speak of intelligence....well lets see

I upgrade to every new iPhone, the good ones anyway. I resell my old phone of course and it always looks pristine, but how is that done you ask? Because with applecare+ you just pick up a new one before resale then sell it as new and get top dollar. More than makes up for the price of Applecare+ and also I don't have to buy those slick cases that you speak of....Keep buying your slick cases, you are great for the economy
