I’m here to tell you all how to remove those sharp tiny little corners and wrinkles that form in your full body Invisibleshield. In an earlier post, I just applied a full body Invisibleshield on top of the new gold and wood plating of my new iPhone 3GS.

Problem with full body protector shields are the very tiny little wrinkles and corners that raise up. Sure, they’re very tiny and hardly noticeable, but when you feel your iPhone in your hand, it scratches and scrapes against you. That beautifully smooth, silky feel of your iPhone goes away. It’s replace with a rough, unpleasant feel. You just wanna’ poke and push at the corners each time you pick up your phone.

But there’s a way to remove those tiny little “nubs”. First, give your shield protector a few days (a week even) to fully cure to make sure all edges fully work themselves down naturally, but also spend some time trying to work them down by rubbing the edges against a table or other hard, flat surfaces. Then, get some nail clippers (the smaller the better) and simply snip those tiny little nubs off.

And… that’s it. Just take some nail clippers and very carefully clip those horrible little nubs off. No matter how professional of a job you, or someone else does for you, you will have sharp edges on the back of your iPhone, but now you know how to take care of it. Feel free’ta share your experience with Invisibleshield or other shield protectors.

Yeah baby…

I’m sittin’ here, transferring over some content to my 32GB iPhone 3GS, and I started thinking about space. Like “Hey, how am I on space?”. And then I realized that I have 32 GBs and that I’m no where close to coming even half way.

And that made me wanna’ share somethin’ with you all. If your considering getting a 3GS from AT&T with a two year contract, besides the color options, you have two options… 16GB or 32GB. I’m gonna’ tell you to go with a 32GB for a number of reasons.

But, let’s first look at some reasons to go with a 16GB iPhone. The majority of people who have iPhones don’t even use 8GBs of data. So 16GBs will be more than fine for you for now. Notice I said for now…

The reason I say go with a 32GB iPhone is the fact that your getting into a two year contract with AT&T. Sure, it’s a hundred dollars more expensive than the 16GB. But your going to have your iPhone for two years. Think about that… two years. You know what’ll happen in two years time? Two, count’em, two new iPhone models will be introduced (and one could be on another network by then). With the 3GS, you’ve got the faster hardware, you got the speed, but the 32GB size next year may be the new “smaller” size and a new “larger” 64GB size will be released… and a year after that, it could be a 64 GB size will be the “smaller” size and a 128 GB size will be the “larger”. iPhones will (hopefully) look the same (just with added features, like 4G network support, front facing video camera, ect). So one of the big things determining “greatness” of iPhones will be size.

There’s no way, of course, to add size to an iPhone. So once you get an iPhone size, your stuck with it. So if you get a 32GB iphone now, it won’t seem so large (and more important, won’t seem so small) compared to new iPhones. And remember, your in a new contract so you’ll have to wait until two years, ’til a fifth generation iPhone, before you can upgrade from your third generation 3GS. 32GBs is a lot smaller than someone’s brand new 64GB or 128GB iPhone, but it will really small if you have a 16GB iPhone.

And then there’s the topic of content. When the first generation iPhone came out, 4GB and 8GB seemed big. There wasn’t even an app store out. But now look, there are apps (such as the Tomtom Navigation app) that are 1GB is size (the biggest app size I know of, most apps are less than 20MBs). A 1GB app, there’s no way anyone could have imagined that back then. That was two years ago, now what will things bring two years from now? Two years is a long time to have a set size.

But then there’s just the vanity issue, which I’m totally guilty of (and proud of it). When someone asks you about your phone, or the size, when you say “I’ve got a 32GB” vs. “I’ve got a 16GB”, it just does something. You don’t have to say “Oh I have a 16GB” with a certain tone of regret. “I only have the 16GB.” But when you have a 32GB, you say it with pride. “I’ve got a 32GB…”

So, what size should you get? Well, it’s up to you, but getting the bigger size is probably your best investment. Plan to sell your iPhone when it’s time to get a new one once your contract’s up in two years? What size do you think will be the most desirable?

I’m so glad I choose the 32GB instead of the 16GB.

Meet the new Neocell 3GS. Well ok, I’ve had the new Neocell 3GS for about two weeks ago, but it wasn’t really the “Neocell”. Sure, it had the custom carrier name “Neocell”, it had the one of a kind custom British speaking sounds (“*Beep* I have downloaded new email for you…”, “*Beep* I have access to new voice mail…”, ect.). It was the Neocell, everything digital… but it wasn’t the Neocell on the outside. It was just another iPhone 3GS… in fact, it wasn’t just an iPhone 3GS, it looked like just another iPhone 3G. There were many times I’d pick up my girl’s black iPhone 3G, thinking it was mine.

Well all that’s changed now. I’ve got my iPhone 3GS decked out like I had my iPhone 2G. The Neocell is now plated with semi-synthetic South Korean chestnut wood and 24K gold plating on top. That was what I had designed for me with the Neocell 2G, and this is pretty much the same design, just adapted (improved) for the 3GS styling. I like it better.

On top I put on an Invisibleshield full body protector myself. There’s a few microbubbles that haven’t worked themselves out, but it’ll go out soon. That’s one of the downfalls of using shield protectors. But it’s the Invisibleshield that’ll protect the Neocell from scratches and what’ll protect the gold and wood from scrapes or whatever kinda’ stuff.

And for the record, I didn’t pay for it (couldn’t afford too), I had it done for me for free.

I’m so excited and it’s so tight because it gives my phone a unique identity. It’s now officially the “Neocell 3GS”. Yeah baby. The pics taken are crappy quality, but it does the job of showin’ it off at least.

Peace, J
