Can anyone suggest a good iPhone 4 case which offers decent protection but does not add much bulk to the phone. My wife has in iPhone 4 which has a otterbox defender and it adds substantial bulk to the sleek phone. Granted that the case does offer good protection.
But what are my alternatives ?

Oh, alright. So does that mean it can only be unlocked by those carriers itself?
Found out the carrier. It's Vodafone.
So now, is this unlocking procedure something I can do from home or do I need to take it to some store or something?
Update: went to ghaffar market in karol bagh, got it unlocked

how much were you charged for unlocking?

1k. Didn't bargain or anything though.

Can we activate iMessage on an iPhone without a sim card ? Like the way it does work in an iPad

I am a yahoo email user and i do have a gmail account but i never use it for emails. I have currently configured the yahoo mail in my iPhone with the default mail client. But i do read at places that sparrow is a good app. But many of those reviews mention that sparrow will be more beneficial for gmail users. Does sparrow offer any benefit over stock email for a primarily yahoo email user.

Otterbox Commuter.

Staying with otterbox defender as the commuter has entire front exposed and i know that of we take care always, nothing might happen but still we have seen experienced drops twice (very small height) without no damage to the phone. So i will be staying with the defender for now.

Anyone facing problem with push mail after the ios6 update ? The option itself is missing for yahoo mail, it was there before. Now the push option shows only with icloud.

Can anyone suggest me few ways i can protect my iPhone ? Protection as in not physical but in the event it gets lost or stolen or something. I know there is this find my iPhone feature but does this feature have any caveats or anything (apart from the fact that for find my iPhone to work, the phone needs to have internet connectivity) ?
Also anything additional i can try doing ?

Have you tried SwitchEasy Rebel ? I am currently using that one. You could check out 2 other which I used from here

Actually the case was to be bought for iPhone 4S that i was planning to buy at the time of writing that post. But after i bought the phone and received it, the seller had included a Acase brand case which looks like otter box commuter and this was something i was planning to buy anyways. So i am using that case only for now.
This is how it is now...

My Installous app hasn't been showing new apps for the last 3 days. Anyone?

 

[tufel]

^^Bump for help.

May be you check the existing version of the app and then go to Installous and search for that particular app and check its version. If it is newer, download it. I know this is not a solution but a workaround per se.
