About the new iPhone not fitting the old cases...
*shrugs*
...did it take you until now to figure this out? Seriously. What would you expect? If you buy form-fitting cases for your portable devices, then every redesign in form results in ill-fitting cases. This is an entirely new generation of iPhone, with new technology, new chips, and they redesigned it. They GET to redesign the case. People would complain if they DIDN'T.
So it's a poor fit. That's life. Trying to squeeze yourself into the role of The Guy Who Was Screwed is an even worse fit, though. Brace up a little.
I'll give you the point about the charging thing, but it's hardly an issue TBH. I'm a little disappointed I finally have to get rid of my old 4G iPod firewire charger, but seeing as that is a good 4-5 years old now it's hardly a rip off, especially when there was a new AC adaptor in the box.
I have bought a new dock and cable, but my old dock still works fine, it's just being pensioned off to my desk at work, the new cable is needed to replace the firewire one that was 4 years old.
I've never bought an iPod case, it's an item with a finite lifespan. It's going to get a little damaged and a few scratches really aren't the end of the world.
So all in all in the past 5 years of iPod ownership I've spent precisely £29.98 on accessories, and that was this afternoon.
£30 in 5 years doesn't seem bad to me.
I forgot to use the 'sarcasm' tags, sorry. Yeah, it sucks that I've had to change things up yet again, but as an Apple/Mac fanboy, I'm used to it at this point.
Those guys must be shills for case manufacturers, huh?
OTOH, I read an article today by someone who claimed that the iPhone 3G fits in his iPhone case. I guess YOU bought the wrong case.
Actuallly, my iSkin EVO fits just fine, but I hate squishy cases.
:(
