it makes perfect sense, it rains alot in Ireland, having it at the top meant the headphone jack blocked rain's access to your phone,


now its going to drip into the dock connector and speakers!

Fair enough, but i'm guessing you could just put the phone upsidedown in the pocket, that way everything is protected..

What?

(a) Those phones are hugely different, and (b) the new iPhone isn't going to look like that.

That video is a waste of bandwidth.

All I meant is that Samsung needed Apple to suceed, however Apple doesn't need Samsung to suceed (based on the prototypes, Apple is not giving a fu*k about Samsung's successful desings).

Sweet jaysis.

In all my years of wearing jeans I've never got rain in the pockets!
