So after about a year and a half of use, my iphone started misbehaving; It kept crashing and wouldn’t hold a charge to save its life. I made an appointment for the Apple store, not realizing what a pain it would be to get there. After a string of trains running like crap, raining cats and dogs and escalator not working (its a huge escalator so when its broken, there are many many many stairs to climb) I finally got to the Apple store about 5 minutes late. The genius guy looked at my phone and after about 10 mins agreed to replace it. He gave me a “new” refurbished phone and I took it home all happy that I have a working phone.

After loading all my stuff on it I found out there was a little problem….the headphone jack isn’t working correctly . So after all that pain (and 2 appointments to the Apple store) I have to go back again tomorrow and exchange it. I am hoping that 3rd time will be the charm and I won’t have to visit that store again till the new one comes out in June (maybe I’ll even try the nexus google phone instead).

So I got an iphone back in July and after all the fixes by Apple, it has become my favorite toy!!! I can’t stop playing with it and buying new stuff for it! I decided the other day that I wanted a new case for it (had a clear plastic case, wanted a leather one).

After days of looking for a perfect case, I finally found it at a wesbite called Orbino. From looking at this company, they make these awesome hand crafted cases in Italy. They range quite a bit in price (from like $100-$400). I ended up paying $100 for a case but I must say, it really is amazing!!! The hand-stiching is sooo cool looking and gives it a really classic feel. It looks really nice on the phone as well, a real snug fit. The only drawback of this case is it doesnt fully protect the top of the phone but none of the leather ones seem to do that. They do have a 30 day return policy which was the deal breaker between Orbino and Vaja (another cool case making company). I’ll post a picture soon of the case I got soon
