powerful phone protector plus pet peeves

So I found an awesome case for iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. Ordering from the US, and I might as well get more if anyone wants it, because I don't think they sell it Australia. Saves you from ordering one yourself, as well as only 1 charge for shipping for multiple items (Y). So if you're interested, tell me here, MSN, email, text, I don't care =D

Without further ado, I present the Lifeproof case:
It's shockproof [(Military Specifications MIL-STD-810F-516.5 (2 meters/6.6ft drop on all surfaces and edges. 26 tests) - if that means something to you]
It's waterproof and dustproof (full IP-68 rating against water and dust, and designed to Military Specifications.) Dunno what that is, but it means 2m submersion is safe.
It's also snowproof and I'm sure we'll be needing a lot of that soon. /sarcasm

And here are pictures of the black and white cases (there are pink and purples as well)



If you wanna see it on the original site, you can see it on Lifeproof.com. It lists all its features and etc.

It's much slimmer and elegant-er than you'd expect from something that protects your phone from all that shit. But now you'll probably doubt it's protectiveness, so check the next two videos if you're in that zone.

Here's a video released by Lifeproof. It shows a shitload of abuse, way beyond what normal people do. But it covers dropping the case while it's on your lap and you're exiting the car. Or you just drop it by accident:


Here's one at the beach demonstrating mainly waterproof-ness



Now, the price. It is advertised at $80, but plus p&h will be anywhere up to $95. Obviously, the more people who want one, the closer it approaches $80 xP. This is pretty steep, but if you go sportsing with your phone, hiking with your phone, beaching with your phone, or drop your phone/scared of dropping your phone, then it might be worth it, seeing as your iPhone 4 costs upwards of $800.

Now since I caveat emptor'd the shit out of this, and so should pass on to you, here are pros and cons.

Pros (I gathered these from review vids):
Well it IS kinda waterproof, shockproof, dustproof, snowproof. Unless you're being a massive idiot and pegging it around, your iPhone is freaking safe.
You can take it anywhere! ANYWHERE!
All buttons are accessible, chargeport can be accessed by flipping the bottom catch open (obviously this will de-waterproof it while it's undone but you shouldn't be getting it while wet while charging anyway)
The material on the outer casing doesn't grab lint at all.
It's so thin and sexy!
It uses something that makes the whole case resonate, so that sound from speakers can travel through the waterproof case. Speaker and microphone quality shouldn't be affected - they will replace it if it's terrible.
Apparently the home button feels even nicer to press.
Separated optical lens for flash and camera - no chance of flashback, and hax clarity.

If I haven't mentioned it as a con, you can imagine that it's a pro :L

Cons:
Screen protector is glossy and takes getting used to. It's not adhesive, so it may need to be "broken in" to sit nicely against the screen.
The volume and lock button are not as crisp, but still easily accessible since the case is so thin.
It's not designed to be taken on and off frequently. Unless you're cleaning the interior or repairing, it basically should never come off.
(Minor)Silent/ringer switch is reversed, ie pull to the right for silent, pull to the left to ringer.
The chargeport basically only fits the original Apple iPhone cable.
Pretty freaking expensive
Only for iPhone 4 and 4S


If there's an issue I haven't mentioned, please talk to me =D
Ordering on Nov 1 btw. So tell me before then (Y)






PEW for PET PEEVE
I hate question marks that shouldn't be there. Like when people tell you shit? And it's meant to be a full stop but they do this instead?
Because people designed full stops for a reason - for sentences that aren't fucking questions.
Question mark is for real questions. If you want to tell me something, I should be the one asking questions if any.
I mean, if you're asking "Do you remember how to calculate molar mass?", then it is a freaking question. You can use a question mark, because it doesn't make sense with a full stop. This is totally awesome because you understand basic grammar.
"Do it like you did for sodium hydroxide?" is not a freaking question. It is an imperative, changed to annoying form via the use of incorrect punctuation. This is not totally awesome because you need to go back to year 1 to learn what a question mark is for.
Question mark is called question because you are asking a question. Seems obvious but apparently is not. When in doubt, just don't put punctuation. This usually happens on IM or text, and hence people don't care about punctuation anyway.

WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME A QUESTION.
The justification I hear is: "That's how I'd say it in real life?"
My answer: "It's fucking annoying in real life too."

How often have you heard (primary school) teachers say "Don't answer a question with a question" or "Am I asking the question, or are you?", or just "Are you sure?", until you stop using a bloody question inflection.

Thank you and good night

the question mark at the end of a statement is used to create an uncertain/unsure tone in the writer's voice. it is not posing a question.

jwhero said...

Imperatives are hardly uncertain.
Neither are explanations.

Unless you're doing it very wrong.

~cloudier said...

i suppose i use it as a really funky contraction to express uncertainty

e.g. "Do it like you did for sodium hydroxide?" translates to "maybe you should do it like you did for sodium hydroxide?"

jwhero said...

To clarify:
I'm talking about those people that obviously know the answer. They just like using question marks.
Like "how did you find the square root?"
Ans: "I used a calculator?"
It's very unlikely they're uncertain, they're just being testy

heh, woops guilty *raises hand*
I add question marks at the end when i am not sure about something. maybe a bit too much. but I'd like to atleast explain why.

when i explain things like maths questions (i do remember you commenting on my overuse of question marks while i was doing so) i am almost definitely uncertain about what i'm saying unless i actually have my own working in front of me. I don't trust myself and if I say it without a question mark, I feel like I'm conveying unwarranted confidence.

So i add a question mark. when i say something
"Do it like you did for sodium hydroxide?"
i mean to say "how about if you tried doing it like you did for sodium hydroxide?", but shortened. It's intended to be a suggestion/possibility rather than a definite answer. poor grammar but considering it gets the message across that "im not sure but this might work", I don't see why it would be too much of a problem

also, a question mark can be used to denote uncertainty, but the proper punctuation for that is (?), i.e. with the parenthesis. basically nobody ever uses that in conversation on msn and such, and you could, i guess, take the question mark which is added to be an abbreviation of that form.

that being said i can see where your coming from? It does get a bit annoying when overused? I do sound like a retard in my head right now? so i will try and refrain from doing so/go about trying to express my uncertainty in a different way.

Like "how did you find the square root?"
Ans: "I used a calculator?"

this in my head translates to "is there any other way of doing it?" in a somewhat mocking tone.

jwhero said...

Mmm the "uncertain tone" where you make a question inflection but actually convey a uncertain statement isn't very common in real life.

It sounds dopey and doesn't command respect for your words. I can guarantee that most people don't use the "uncertain tone" on a regular basis, especially when being asked a question on something they're familiar about. Like when nobody's listening in Chem, I hear lots of uncertain tones in reply to questions. But in a class where people listen, answers are always in statement inflection. Because you're right, you're explaining, and you know it.

However question inflection is more often used sarcastically, as you said, to mock.

i think most people do use this "uncertain tone" cloudier and sun does, and i sure do as well. i think you don't think so because your thinking on a different wavelength

jwhero said...

By "most people do use this" you mean "most people use this in real life"?

Or just on IM/MSN

Anonymous said...

they use it in real life as well as msn!

_allegory said...

i was gonna say something, but sun has said it all very well.
how it implies, 'how else would you do it?' and also obviously, if they are uncertain

I hear lots of uncertain tones in reply to questions.

ศัลยกรรมตาสองชั้น
• 1.กรีดหนังตา เป็นแนวทางที่เคยชินกันดีกับกระบวนการทำตาสองชั้น หรือจะเรียกว่าวิธีมาตาฐานก็ว่าได้ ด้วยเหตุว่ามีผู้กระทำตาสองชั้นด้วยแนวทางนี้มีมากที่สุดเป็นอันดับหนึ่งเลยเดียว
• 2.การเจาะรูหรือบางที่เรียกกระบวนการเย็บจุด เป็นการไม่ต้องกรีดหนังตาแม้กระนั้นกลายเป็นการเจาะรูเล็กๆที่กลีบตาห่างกัน 3-4 จุด สามารถเอานำไขมันส่วนเกินออกได้ แล้วกระทำเย็บเงื่อนไหมไปตามแนวเส้นที่ได้กำหนดไว้กับกล้ามเนื้อตา จะก่อให้กำเนิดเป็นตาสองชั้นขึ้น จุดแข็งก็คือไม่นำไปสู่รอยแผลเป็น รวมทั้งมีการบวมช้ำเพียงนิดหน่อย
• 3.การเลเซอร์ คือการใช้เลเซอร์คลื่น plasma ยิงไปที่หนังตาทำให้มีหนังตา 2 ชั้นขึ้นมาอย่างราบรื่น ถึงจะเจ็บจี๊ดเกือบจะร้องไห้ แต่ว่าลักษณะเด่นคือทิ้งแผลเอาไว้น้อยมาก ใช้เวลาพักฟื้นน้อยมาก ดำเนินชีวิตธรรมดาได้แทบโดยทันที
