Sena has been kind enough to give us some great cases to give away for the iPhone and iPhone 3G!  Shown above are the Magnet Flipper case in Pink and the WalletBook Case in Croco Black.  We have a lot more to give away from Sena, too!  Here's the full inventory:

• Ultraslim Pouch for the iPhone / iPhone 3G in Black
• Elega Pouch for the iPhone / iPhone 3G in Croco Black
• 3G Dockable Case for the iPhone 3G in Tan
• Magnet Flipper for the iPhone / iPhone 3G in Pink
• Walletskin for the iPhone 3G in Croco Red
• Walletbook for the iPhone 3G in Croco Black

That's a total of six cases we have to give to you, our lucky readers.  Now here's how we're going to do it.

Remember yesterday when we told you to join Twitter?  Well we're going to put that membership to use today.  Entering is a two-part process.

1.  Leave a comment here detailing your biggest horror story of phone / iPod / camera accessory damage that a case would've prevented you from having.  Any small electronic horror story will suffice.  The juicier, the better.  We want to cringe at the mere mention of the carnage.  Photos of the damage are a total plus.  Make us feel your pain.

2.  Go to Twitter and tweet the following:  @applethoughts is giving away Sena cases to keep my gadgets safe.  Check out applethoughts.com.  It MUST match that line down to the punctuation.  We will be verifying the tweets using an automated system.  If it doesn't match exactly, it won't show up.  When we pick the winning story, we'll double check your twitter account to make sure you've posted this little nugget; if you don't post it, you don't win!

On December 31, the editorial staff and I will huddle up and choose a winner based on who makes us cringe the most.  The winner will receive their choice of two of the six cases.  The first runner up will be able to choose one from what's left.  All decisions are final and we expressly forbid whining.  We will ship the prizes to you somewhere in the first week of January and we'll get in touch with you to arrange shipping of your goodies.

Remember:

1.  Write the comment.

2.  Write the tweet.

3.  All decisions are final.

4.  No whining.

Now get to it!  Make us cringe!

And just so you know, this is just the beginning of what we have to give away.  I have a box full of good stuff waiting for a new home!

Funnily enough I have been rather blessed with good luck with my phones. Other than the time I dropped one in the toilet of a rather crowded bar... Fell out of my back pocket. That was unpleasant to say the least

My biggest issue would be throwing my iPhone into my bag and the paranoia of how many scratches it will have... And unfortunately the pockets in womens jeans are a bit small for the iPhone to live comfortably.

Which is why my 3G needs a case

Okay this isn't really a horror story about how a case could have prevented damage to my phone, but how the wrong case actually caused damage. Alas the damage was very slight and only I will probably ever know it's there, but the day I got my shiny new iPhone 3G, I bought a case to keep it shiny and new. The subject case was the Griffin Wave. Unbeknownst to me; dust, pocket lint, boll weevils, and an assortment of other small entities found their way between the hard plastic case and my iPhone. Weeks later when I removed the case, to my utter horror I discovered hairline scratches all along what was once a perfect and shiny chrome bezel! I'll never again use a hard plastic case on my gadgets.

In contrast, my old school iPod has been kept in a pliable and supple wallet type case crafted in rich Corinthian leatherette. After several loyal years of daily use, it still shines like new.

The moral of this story? Don't just get a case to protect your gear, get the right case. Also, I want one of these sweet cases from Sena!

After a faceplant on the concrete. Still works too.
