I've had both on numerous devices. I'll never go back to Zagg again. Ghost Armor is definitely the way to go.

Neither worked, but thanks anyways guys.

No idea why, I've tried numerous things.

I've been having some weird issues. The "other" category of space has gone from less than a gig to almost 3 gigs. I've updated artwork, album titles and synced with no effect, they just stay as they were before. I've had albums inexplicably be listed twice, one listing has the full album and the second listing just has one song (that is already listed in the first one).

Weirdest of all is that when I open iTunes it is stuck on top. Doesn't matter if I have it maximized or at half size I can't access my taskbar when I'm in itunes. I have to use alt+tab or the windows key to be able to get to my taskbar.

[Yeah_Baby]

Yeah, I noticed that today too. I wonder what that actually is.

I'm not sure if this will help anyone out, but a lot of folks have posting about their poor iPhone 4S battery life:

I'm not finding my battery life to be too bad. I usually end up with about 10-20% left when I plug it in at night. And this is in the phase before the novelty has worn off, so I'm screwing around with it a lot. Skypeing unnecessarily, logging my lunch time walk with RunKeeper for no good reason, streaming radio on my drive to/from work, etc.

Compared to my 3G, the battery life is better. If I was to do anything "special" with my old 3G, it would be dead by bedtime.

My iPhone 4 is really laggy since the iOS5 update, but I think it's getting progressively worse. Like when I type a message (email, text, imessage, calgary puck, etc.), there is a delay in the letters inputting to the program I'm typing in. My wife is having the same issue. I've re-synced. I've done a hard reboot. Nothing seems to help. Anybody else having this issue?

Noticed a lot the other night when I was typing posts in tapatalk for CP and when I tried it in Safari too.

I've also noticed that iTunes is total crap since the last iOS 4.whatever update. When I click "more episodes" button in my podcasts in my music it doesn't take me to more of that podcast, it just takes me to the main itunes page. Downloading podcasts is laggy, they get errors, even navigating the podcast selection takes forever to load and there are errors loading all the time.

I'm having The same issue on my 3GS. I figured it was because I'm using a 3GS.

Try turning off all of your mail/calendar contacts synching, and also notifications from any 3rd part apps. I did this and gave it a hard reset (hold down both buttons until the device powers down and the apple reappears) and everything has been good since. I added back in my mail/calendar synching, and left the 3rd party app notifications off and I've been fine for a few weeks and with good battery life on my iPhone 4.

I was having all kinds of problems and just did a restore. Problem of that "other" taking up 3gigs is fixed. Back to the normal .5 or so gigs which is normal compared to pre-iOS5.

It also appears that the weird duplicates issue has to do with the way the ipod categorizes the music. I went in and reset the sorting and album artist options and the most duplicates have been fixed.

Looks like it only affects selected phones...but apple looks like they are on it and a patch is forthcoming.

Post 38 has some great pictures of it on a White 4S. I have a black one and it looks really sharp.

That forum is pretty good b/c there are a bunch of threads for case reviews depending on what style you want. I hate the added bulk so I went with a thin case.

I've bought a couple of albums from iTunes in the last couple of days, but upon sync, it duplicated some of the songs from those albums onto the iPhone 4. Any reason why this may happen, and any way to prevent it from happening?

I downloaded Downcast and am very pleased. So much more control and functionality.
