I just ordered another iPhone 3G case.  I debated between several brands and styles and finally settled on the Beyza Apple iPhone 3G SlimLINE - VSL20 Vertical Leather Case Flo Light Blue.  I originally had decided on the Sena Ultra Slim Pouch but the light blue color I wanted was backordered so I went with the Beyza.  I’m actually glad the Sena was backordered so that I would be forced to explore more options.  I think the Beyza might provide a bit more padding and protection without adding too much bulk.

I really wanted the Beyza Roadline case with the strap but it’s a little too pricey for a case.  At least it was too pricey for me.  There are people out there buying custom-made Vaja Leather cases starting at $220 a pop, so the Beyza Roadline is actually still relatively cheap at $49.50.

Just a tip, I didn’t order from the Beyza website.

I ordered from Cases.com (Aluron, Inc.) which got positive web reviews.  I also found a coupon code that took off 15% so the total came out to be $32.05 (includes $4.00 for shipping).  This was better than ordering directly from Beyza which is based in Turkey and charges $13.90 to ship to the USA which would have brought me to a total of $47.40.

So why am I getting a new case?  I like my naked case that I got off of Ebay, I really do.  Touch sensitivity is great and it feels pretty secure but I can’t stand the dust getting into the cutouts for the speaker and underneath the case.  So I’m going to try not putting a permanent case on it and just using the Beyza sleeve.  Here’s to hoping I don’t drop it!

Speaking of Turkey, here’s the paper I wrote on the Gulen Movement for my summer course.  The writing is pretty weak and I was fighting time to get my ideas down on paper but it’s a start.  The paper will probably a sort of work in progress.  I’d like to revisit it and beef it up with more ideas sometime in the future — maybe around winter break.
