My fiance's iphone shit the bed from using one of these cases. She had it on since day one and it never came out of the case, she also never used it underwater or anything like that. She used it when she ran and shed keep it in her bra, the heat she caused from running made moisture form inside the case that could never evaporate out so needless to say water damage ruined it.

neither was the Brooklyn Bridge.

hope they keep a canary in there....

Definetly feel not enough is being done to encourage new riders. Im old enough to be a part of the sharp rise of mountian biking throughout the 90's and then the unfortunate decline. "Back in the day" there was a lot more exposure, XC and slalom races were broadcast on NBC and other channels, pro mountain bikers were in commercials for soda and shoe companies, and there were even commercials for bike brands like Huffy ::GASP::. But when you think about it, XC and slalom are something even a rookie can look at and say "I can give that a try". And when there are commercials on TV, people who were never exposed think "Whoa, thats cool! And now im thirsty". And when there are commercials for mountain bikes for brands like Huffy, that rookie thinks "Hey, this looks affordable". Face it, we all probably started on shit bikes but it was all we needed to start the fire! Now there isnt nearly as much exposure for mountain biking as there was. There are no commercials for bikes, no pro mtn bikers advertising major brands on national channels, and the only events braodcast on national television are events like Rampage, Crankworx, etc etc. Now mountain biking as a whole is struggling to get new comers attention, and even when they do perchance see it on TV how many of those potential new comers are saying "That looks like fun.....I think ill give it a try", probably not to many. And say you do get the one or two rookies who watch Rampage or some other extreme event, now they are looking for bikes....so they look for bikes like they saw then riding on TV and are slapped in the face with price tags nearing 5 digits! I love mtn biking and I do what I can to turn people on to it, but I do have to say.......the much emptier trails are a bonus.
