    Sorry dude.
    Want to look outside the world of Apple.
    Got a lot of friends that has changed to Samsung in the last year.
    They are saying its a whole new world out there.
    You got more choices. And I played with a S4 Saturday for a few minutes.
    Screen was a lot easier to look at.
    Got a CPA buddy that went from the Blackberry to the Samsung Note.
    He has gone crazy over it. Carries it in his pocket.
    Said it will do more than any phone he has seen.
    You can write on it with a stylus and email it.

    Well when you figure out how to carry the samsung as conveniently as an IPhone post it. Maybe I can be swayed.

    Them new Sammie's is huge. I think your onto something with the backpack Fatboy. Sense there main market is kids and women should be easy to find a holder CB, just get a purse to carry it in. :D

    4 Colors Samsung Galaxy S4 S3 Wallet Strap Multi Purpose Wristlet for HTC ONE X All In One Smart phone. Soon for the 5s

    If Cardboard can't handle the heat we can pile on more. :D

    I don't have to worry about installing any anti-virus program on the apple. Never been hacked and never heard of anyone I know with an Apple getting hacked. Suppose it could happen but never has and I have had three I-Phones now upgrading each time to the newer better one. I really like the Ipad and all the photos auto transfer from one to the other. It's like comparing Ford to Chevy take your pick. I would not like carrying around the Sammy big screen TV in a pocket. I'll keep the Iphone and be content.

    Cowboy I can do it all from my IPhone to but when at home the IPad is nice. Use the IPhone on the road. Never been hacked not even once. Lots of Email addresses have just been hacked again so we all get to change our passwords again wether we like it or not.

    I wouldn't put the Sammy I my back pocket then climb on the scooter and ride like I do with the smaller IPhone 5. I also have the belt holster with the otter case and it does hang tight at speed but I find it uncomfortable against my side and I worry that it will fall off.

    I have a leather case with a magnetic flap lid and it has a clip for the belt. My Iphone fits perfectly in it. I usually clip it on my pants front pocket and it's stayed on and has never came off even when riding. Don't like anything up tight against my waist, not even a carry pistol. That's why I wear a gun vest when riding.

    I have the Otter Defender Series case and belt holster. I can't tell ya how many times I've dropped the phone with no damage. Splashed water can't get to the phone. The holster belt clip has a safety thing at the end if the clip so it can't slide off belt. Even when I try to take it off its hard. I still worry about the phone dropping out of the holster. If I have a jacket on the phone goes in breast pocket. If no jacket it goes in my butt pocket. If I had a Sammy I think my butt would bend it into breaking. But, the whole family has the apple phones so there it rests for me.

    I had the otter contractor box and the clip broke on two and the last one they said they would not warranty it. So the leather case works great. I also went to the Harley dealer and bought a Harley cover for the phone and it protects it. Plus the leather holder works great.

    Well I will tell you. After getting the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the Samsung Rep being at Best Buy and transferring everything from my iPhone 5 to my Samsung S5 and using the bigger screen.
    I really like the Samsung Galaxy S5. Like the heck out of the bigger screen.
    And the Micro SD card to put all your pictures on.
    The S5 gets a lot better reception here in the sticks than the iPhone 5 does.
    Takes a little getting used to since this is my 1st Droid phone.

    After using the S5 for a couple days. No way do I want another iPhone.
    They are O.K. if that is what you want.
    But the iPhones seem to just take too long to come out with stuff.
    Seems Samsung listens to their customers and what they want.

    All the dropped phone calls I was having with the iPhone is gone.
    Not restricted to what all I can do anymore.
    Samsung gives you more freedom.
    Phone has more Ram memory also.
    Better camera on the samsung S5
    Better color on screen
