    Not true. I hated mine after I bought it. Made the phone all bulky and ugly looking. A naked iphone is a thing of beauty. Think of it this way- if the phone came from the manufacturer looking the way it does with a protector would you still buy it?
    Plus why protect it? Your gonna buy a new one in 2 years anyway.

    Hell yes I'd buy it. I'm not looking to impress people with my glitzy phone. This is my work device. I don't even have any games on this thing.

    I've always put my phones in otter boxes. When it comes time to upgrade I get a good return on my 2 year old phone because it looks brand new.

    Even more important now that I'm on T-Mobile jump where you get trade in credit for less than 2 year
    upgrade. I'll wait a year when tho warranty is up to trade this one in.

    As a former Cell Network technician I could go on for hours on this subject, don't worry, I won't. Im a fan of the Samsung Galaxy series and the Moto Droids. I've never been a fan of iPhones. Too stripped down, small screens and not configurable at all. An iPhone is an iPhone is an iPhone. Androids have near unlimited potential, there's almost nothing that cant be changed or tweaked. But you can also leave them as is.

    iPwns are appliances: just do one thing well. What's killing them is the screen, with jailbreaking they can be opened up considerably and made to do almost what an Android phone can.

    That's what scanners are for, and even if you DID get something its not doing any real damage. Unless you intentionally gave the malware root access, ASSUMING you had root to begin with. In years of being a phone tech Ive yet to ever see a single phone need as much as a factory reset from any type of malware.

    Now when it comes to a customer CLAIMING to be infected with "malware" aka thier legit free app that openly told them about push ads for the free version which they agreed too, sure, seem that a million times.

    The Android (Linux) OS is very secure and Samsung's KNOX system is even more secure than Blackberry OS which will probably be the final nail in BBs coffin. Both BB and iOS are modified UNIX OSs, really not very different than Linux in any way that matters.
     
    Lux Prometheus Thanks this.

    Kinda busy but I caught that statement about rooting and that opens a door pretty much.
