The Real iPhone 4 Issue
There has been so much fuss over the iPhone 4’s antenna recently, no one has noticed the real issue. The glass back. It should be renamed the iPhone Slide. IT WON’T STAY STILL.
The back is almost completely frictionless. I can’t put it down anywhere and expect to come back and find it where I left it. If I put it on the arm of a chair, it’ll either end up down the side of a seat cushion, or it’ll fall off on the floor. Put on in the seat of the chair/sofa, or on a bed, and it’ll slide towards wherever you’re sitting, and end up stuffed under your ass. Don’t put it on the passenger seat of the car when you’re driving – it’ll be gone in seconds.
It astonishes me the sort of things it’ll slide on too. It slides off the arm of my leather recliner. I have a bedside table made from pine. It’s not polished, I made it myself, and it’s sanded down just enough to not give you splinters, so it’s still pretty rough. And yet if I put my phone on it, it slides. Really slowly. If you watch it carefully, you can see it move. If I put it on and go to bed, about an hour later, it’ll fall off.
Bring on the free case.
