  Having spent the last (many) months using a Galaxy Note 2 and Nexus 4 as my primary devices and not even touching an iPhone in all that time I’ve had to re-visit the many things needed to make an iPhone “mine” again. One of the things I absolutely loved …

Let’s be honest for a minute – our lives continue to get busier, and we’re constantly juggling our keys, wallets, hand bags, groceries, and who knows what else. At the same time phones continue to get bigger, laws change to prevent distracted driving. Yet here we are with these fancy …
