Iphone cases and apps

[hz80408]

Hello, my name is HZ and I just entered the world of technology over the wknd. I got iphone 4s. As my friend said, "Welcome to 2012".

Please recommend cases (durable, but cute), apps, and also suggestions for who to follow on Twitter. Gracias.

Also, I had a screen protector on it, but since I got the white, should I be concerned about foundation rubbing off on the phone? Should I just wipe off with Kleenex or something? Would babywipe damage it?

DH got me a case for my iphone from Juicy Couture for Christmas which I love. I also love the ones at J Crew and Kate Spade. You can even get cases for just a couple dollars on Amazon or Ebay.

I'm on twitter @greenfashonista

As for apps my favorites are: Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, Jet Blue, Pandora, Angry Birds, Instagram, Accuweather, Flashlight, Target, Sephora, Kindle, My Fitness Pal, Happy Hours, Emoticons, Pinterest, and Moviefone.

Apps: Pinterest (half the time it doesn't work so be aware), Instagram, Weather Channel, Chipotle, Pandora, FB, Twitter. I bank with Chase so I have that app that makes banking easy. Netflix, Yelp, Shazam.

Currently, most of the people I follow on Twitter are annoying me. Too many retweets and links to stuff I don't care about so I don't have anyone to suggest.

I have the Speck Candyshell for a case and really like it. I bought it off Amazon for like $15 compared to the $30+ they are at the Apple store or right from their site. My favorite apps are My Fitness Pal, Map My Run, Pinterest, Google, Pandora, and Photobucket (for OOTD pics).

[beahbia12]

Do you have a 5 Below near you? They have a TON of cute cases for $5. I've gotten 3-4 and just got a Speck one, which is good quality.

My favorite apps are: Accuweather, Myfitnesspal, Instagram, Photobucket, Pic Jointer, Pandora, Target, Redbox, Pinterest, Fast Food...

Haha, whew! I can relate. It is still weird to have the internet/apps at my fingertips wherever I am.

Pooh- weren't you one of the people who said you'd be affected by Verizon changing the plans to shared data?

We found out that if you have an existing account and are elligible for an upgrade, you have the option to stick with the "old" minute-sharing based plan, or opt into the new data-sharing based plan.

[pooh8402]

no I'm not, I'm on sprint's "everything" plan. my H and I got a good deal a couple of years ago with an employee referral so we're never getting rid of it, haha.

if I were still on verizon sharing a plan with my mom and sisters, we'd stick with the old plan.

[hz80408]

Thanks for all of the app recs! Same as my blog, my twitter is @justcallmehaha

I just got an Otter case - defender series and I'm obsessed with it. It's more bulky than a lot of cases but I feel like my phone is indestructible!

Apps: Obviously viggle, overdrive if you download books/audiobooks from your local library, urbanspoon, Waze (this is my new fav app! It's free and pretty decent navigation, much better than google maps since it will talk to you), MyFavEats, kayak, iheartradio.

Ditto flipboard, pandora, shazam, etc

Thanks, I'm excited to start using viggle! One of my friends raved about Waze too! And overdrive is a good suggestion, thanks.

Instagram: I'm KristenKloth if your looking for people to follow
Photo toaster jr: editing pics
Fashism: fashion ap where you can get feedback about outfits
Grocery Pal: multiple grocery lists
Dropbox: file sharing - opens files on any of your devices.
Emoticons: smilies and such for texting

I was looking for something diferent, and that's why I went to Etsy. I got one with my name and black&white stripes

[monsterellachz]

I have a Speck Candy Shell case which I've been happy with (hard drop on concrete floor, no damage). The glossy one does scratch easily, but I'm more concerned about the protection.

Apps:
Whatsapp (free texting w/ other users)
Words with friends
Scramble with friends
Waze (navigation)

this is the cutest case!!

For Twitter follow:
@wolfpackalan, @trumpetcake, @blakeshelton, @mirandalambert for laughs.
@fabiovivani (Top Chef Italian guy with the pet turtle) for food and daily Italian lessons. He DMs new followers to thank them and has the best food porn.
These are some favorites off the top of my head. Blake and Miranda are hysterical. They put the raunchiest jokes up and Miranda posts the cutest strays for Mutt Nation that rescues abandoned animals. You don't have to like country to like them. Alan is someone impersonating the Hangover character and they are dead on with his personality. Fabio is just as funny as on Top Chef and the turtle Tweets rock.

[hz80408]

Thanks photon! And for the FCG; I think Miranda is as cute as can be! I'll add them for sure
