Welcome to the MacNN Forums.

i am looking for an unique iPhone Case, but all i found are so ordinary, like this case
Skull Pattern Hard Plastic Protector Case for Apple iPod iPhone, iPhone Plastical Case, iPhone Case
sourcingmap spam link removed

dull color........i really want something special. what case do u use for ur iPhone? where did u get it?

I use no case.


All the one's i've seen, I don't fall in love with. And i like the look of the iphone better "naked," and it really doesn't even need a case (unless you just want one).

DecalGirl does a great (and large) range of "skins". Maybe that's good enough for you? If you want an actual case, I think the range is far more restricted.

Apple iPhone Skins @ DecalGirl.com

I don't like cases but I couldn't resist this one as it can act as my wallet sometimes and has a place for the headphones:

WORKING CLASS HEROES - felt and leather laptopwallets and more

* waiting for the Answer side to show up *

I have a simple slip case. I think the iPhone should be used naked so as to show off the beauty of it. But it also should be protected when its in your bag/pocket. I bought mine from AB Sutton. Attached some pics. Great, friendly helpful people to deal with. And a high quality product that WOWs everyone.

Why should they?

He's already posted a link.

Um at least 2 people answered him before you ask that so I don't know what you are trying to say.

Spammers tend to show up in pairs, in case you haven't noticed. One signs up with a brand new account to ask a question that's been asked about four hundred times or is so banal it's common knowledge.

A couple of hours later, a helpful individual (from the same IP range) will sign up a brand new account and post a link to a (usually Windows-only) pay solution with a ==FREE== download (but not free use).

This instance doesn't quite qualify, though, since the OP already included a link - though it doesn't seem to match AT ALL the content of his post (dull colors for a skull-and-crossbones iPod clingfilm?).

This is true. We call them Q&A spammers, most are bots, and I've been trying to catch them. It doesn't always work, as the example link shows. No bots volunteered to be banned.

I've cleaned out a number of Q&As from old posts, but this thread doesn't match the profile too well. The OP provides a link to a store often linked to by the Answer side of the team, but provides it in a negative connotation. Another 1-post wonder shows up with pictures & recommendations to a different place - so far, so good. But the Answer was posted from a very different IP, so it might be legit.

Overall, the match isn't good enough yet, for either poster. I like to be more certain before banning - after all, we were all low-post people once, and many of us didn't start off with the best posts right out the gate.

Hi

I've posted to help out the TS whether or not he/she is asking a genuine question, and also to share a good case maker and a good experience i've had with them. If even this is considered as SPAM then i'm thinking what else is there to be posted on these forums that would not be classified as SPAM. Besides, i've search the MACNN forums and there's hardly talk about AB Sutton cases so i think it'll be good to share another case that iphone users can get and rave about.

Your post is fine, and we thank you for your contribution. You're welcome to stick around as long as you like.

We try really hard to catch & remove spammers, in order to keep the forums pleasant. We just have to be careful not to ban any real people by mistake. They've been getting smarter with their scripts, and we've had to get better at catching them.

The spammer bots we watch for do not respond to posts within a thread other than to each other. Nor do they participate in the forums otherwise. A few AI spambots do try to make on-topic posts in random threads so as to have a normal-member history and thus avoid being recognized. But the results look like bad machine-translation, those types are easy to catch after a few posts.

Example of the Q&A type we were watching for here.
Another Q&A, this one is particularly disgusting because it takes advantage of good samaritans. The "Answer" side of the team got banned & deleted, but you can guess from the context what he posted. They both had identical IP addresses.

Welcome to the forums. We'll try to keep the spammers off your back.
