If you haven't already, go read Bad Ash's review of the awesome custom TiPb Element Cases, graciously provided for us to give away by the fine folks at ElementCase.com, then hurry back here and tell us why *you* should be the forum member who gets one.

Do you drop your iPhone? Have you already broken one? Do you need this level of protection? Or are you the hardest of hard core gamers? Do you need a smoking hot case not only to impress your iPeeps, but to keep your precious iPhone safe under all that gaming strain? Or is there another reason entirely? Tell us your best, funniest, most touching, most tragic, most triumphant story and YOU might just be the first person to start the new year out with a one-of-a-kind fully TiPb'd out Element Case!

My reason for wanting this case is fairly simple.

I need the protection.

You see, this is me



As a firefighter I worry about carrying my iPhone into burning buildings or onto accident scenes. I've dropped it a few times and banged it a few more. So far it's survived but I'm sure if things continue like this it'll suffer a catastrophic injury eventually.

Sometimes I remember to take my phone out of my pocket when the tones go off. But then I'm on scene and can't call my loved ones to tell them I'm okay, or when I'll be home. I even bought a second phone to use as a beater phone for work but I just couldn't stand not using the iPhone so the second phone didn't last.

Thanks for the chance at winning the case. It would truly come in handy.

I am a regular visitor to TiPb daily checking in on new news and reviews. As far as mac products go I'm a supporter of the Apple family. I have had a spiral of down luck the past few months. In May I lost my iPod and was saddened by my super loss. 18,000 songs gone...like that!. I took it in stride till one day while working on some designs on my tower I got a message System Failure (tried to add link but I'm new so my ratings 0 in forum) on my screen. So that shut me down for a few. It finally started working again for a few months until my scanner shot a power surge into my mac killing the logic board. All in all I'm still a supporter to the Apple family. I guess I think total protection of my iPhone is necessary since the universe is targeting my prized Apple possessions.

My iPhone goes from my hands to my pockets on a regular basis. As a Campus Police Officer/EMT my iPhone remains in use on and around campus daily. I have already dropped it several times; fortunately it was in a case until it finally broke. I've been looking for some "real" protect that won't impede my use of the screen and the Element Case looks like it's just what I need.

Seeing a give away like this after coming in from a long overnight of overtime makes it all the worthwhile. Thanks for the contest guys.

I too am a State Trooper in Texas. I carry the phone on me daily. I use it to stay in touch with my wife as well as protection. You never know when you are chasing people or in the back of an eighteen wheeler, when you may need the iPhone to call for backup or help. I currently have a plastic case, buy like the article said I know one hard drop and I will be out a phone. This is the perfect case for a Trooper like me, however the 99$ pricetag is a bit steep for a peace officer. Thanks for the opportunity to win one. Y'all stay safe out there!

Because my daughter uses, and drops, my iPhone. Anyone with a 5 year old daughter knows that simply saying "please be careful, don't drop this!" isn't much help.

I would love to have this case!!! I switched over from bb to get the iphone on Dec. 26th. I drive for FedEx so I am always bumping my phone or dropping while talking. I also have a 17 month old daughter that likes to drop it on our hardwood floors like all her toys. I am still looking for a case and would be absolutely THRILLED to get my hands on this case.

<waves hand for Jedi nerd trick> This is the post you're looking for. <waves hand again> You can give the case to me.
