i have the iphone 4 and will most likely get the 4s when im due for my upgrade this october. There is a stainless steel band around the edge of the phone so if you drop it on its side like that then it should protect it pretty well. I like the weight/feel of it better than other phones ive held. I think the back of it is like glass or something but either way it feels much more heavier duty than the plastic other phones use. (aaron will probably know what its made of haha^?) Its speed is very fast and ive pretty much had service everywhere ive went. Ive even gotten service all the way up into upstate VT and on the whole way to PA when i went there. I use the Google Map/GPS feature on it alot and the maps always load nice and quickly for me. Which is good bc theres some places ive been that i dont wanna ever get lost in lol.

I would highly reccommend it. The only thing i wish it had was a slightly bigger screen. Not for watching movies or stuff but bc i have big, chubby sausage fingers that sometimes dont hit the right letters when texting lol.
