This is a thread for those who, like me, who have become Apple fanboys and want to learn about new apps, tricks, peripherals, and the like.
EDIT: In response to the sage advice of SU, I've renamed this the Smart Phone and Tablet Thread.
I was an Android guy at first, then succumbed to Apple after my wife got me an iPad for Father's Day. I already had an iPod and used iTunes a lot. I loved the iPad and since it was basically a large iPhone, the next step was easy. I still admire Android devices but decided I don't have the time or interest anymore to be the slightly geeky guy who really thrives with those devices. (I am using "geeky" in the most positive sense.)
Anyway, share your new and tips and ideas here. You can talk about all manner of smart phones and tablets. I'll start.
I recently got this Skiva case and battery extender. I'm really happy with it. Previously I had a Mophie, which is great for protecting the phone but was heavy and pricey. The Skiva is now a steal for only $25, probably because it's for an iPhone 4s. I need a hard-shell case because I know I am going to drop my phone. The battery extender only adds a little to the phone's size and comes in very handy when I am running out of juice. When the battery is down to 15% or so, a press of a button puts it bask up to 78% or so. The Mophie did the same thing but the Skiva is much sleeker.
