Thank you very much for your response. Getting the defender case does make sense, as I can always get a bluetooth keyboard later on if I absolutely need it. I just found the idea of the keyboard built into a case appealing because it would mean that there would be 1 less thing for me to carry around. I'm pretty sure I'm going to need the tactile overlay, though. I've played with IDevices in the past, and it's never worked well. Thanks again, and I hope that you're having a great day! Missy

You might find you can use the iphone well enough by itself. I would recommend the defender case over the one with the slide out keyboard because it will provide more protection for your phone. hth Tammy From: Missy Hoppe <mailto:mitmee....@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 7:58 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: IPhone cases and keyboards Good morning, all. For a variety of reasons, I've just about decided to take the plunge and get an IPhone for Christmas. After a lot of thinking with regards to how to make this endeavor as budget-friendly as possible, my plan at this point is to get an unlocked 4S so that I can use it with Cincinnati Bell. From what I've heard, the only drawback will be that the fastest data rate I will be able to use is edge, but my thinking is that I'll use wifi whereever possible, so the slow data rate is worth it to keep my bill manageable. Anyway, I'm writing because I'm trying to plan ahead. I already know I'm going to want the tactile overlay from speeddots, but what I can't figure out is what case I should get. I understand that if I get the defender case, that means buying a different version of the speeddots overlay. The other case I'm considering is the one recommended on the speeddots site: the one with the built-in slide out keyboard. This is really appealing to me since 1 of my biggest fears in getting an IPhone has been the touch screen. I know that with Siri, I probably won't have to deal with it as much, so I'm torne between the really good defender case and the 1 with the keyboard. Naturally, I'm open to any suggestions anyone may have. Bulkiness is not an issue for me; I don't want the iphone for it's tiny form factor, so if anyone out there recommends a different case and/or keyboard, I'd be interested in hearing about it. Thank you all very much for your time, and I look forward to whatever advice you can offer. Missy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
