You wouldn't believe it but I've wasted all day digging for some articles about this. You're a lifesaver, it was an excellent read and has helped me out to no end. Cheers!

Living at the coast I anticipate our first major rain to see how my Otterbox Defender fares. Overall I really like it BUT I was very used to not having streaks with the anti-glare protector. Now I'm back to a screen that's dirtier than the original iPhone screen.

It would be really nice if the OBD came with the anti glare/anti smudge option! Can't imagine having 3 layers plus screen to aliviate watermarks and smudge.

OTTERBOX DEFENDER-After spending hundreds of $$ on the perfect case... it seems they all have their own ticks. Although I am quite satisfied with the all around protection, closures of all ports, and the anti-glare screenfix helps. I don't like the bulk & it being a lint magnent.

My suggetion is the Contour Case with alterations. Anti-glare shield helps from finger smudges, a sync port protector from Switcheasy, and a piece of clear plastic to protect unused headphone hole. It's no Otterbox, but I prefer the small compact feel.

Yeah, the OtterBox Defender Case is easily fixed with just a little bit of your hand juice. :]

Ya basicly if you don't see Genius Mixes on your sidebar, update genius.

@Bruno It took me a while to find the Genius Mixes too. I'm guessing it is easier for new iTunes users than upgrades.

@Chris The app is well done, but I miss watching them make my burrito in front of me. Probably good for a group wanting to get their Chipotle to go. Organize all the orders and submit, then stop by, grab your meal, and find a place for a picnic. It reminds me of ording Papa John's on my iPhone through their website. I was trying to explain it to my mom and then she asked why I couldn't just call the store and order over the phone. Doh!

I also have the otterbox case and when it comes to protection this is it, your iphone is as safe as it gets!

Just downloaded local concerts. It's pretty sweet. I don't see where you can customize push notifications though.

I have the otterbox defender and love it! I didn't buy a extra screen protector to get rid of the watermark instead I made sure the inside of the screen protector was clean as well as the iPhone screen and ran the tip of my index finger side to side and working top to bottom of the inside of the protector then put the phone in the case and presto the watermark is gone!

@Bruno

The genius mixes on your iPod is not obvious to setup. It's pretty nice once you have it though.

Is iVillain a Winterboard theme?

I need help with the 3.1(.1) OS... I thought you could do Genius Mixes directly on your iPod, but I can't find it xD

I was running the iVillain theme before I updated to 3.1. Awesome theme.

I thought 3.1 was supposed to open the video APIs for devs? I want to be able to splice my vids on the device. That's a great name for an app-- Splice on Device. Someone make it!
