Ooh, I don't think you can blame that on the photographer, this time.

Ridiculously, I think this might be a good idea in a jersey pocket, as
it could both protect the phone and make it easier to dig out. You know,

Goop strips of closed cell phone to your foam and try it out.
works great hear.

did they throw Sandy in the slammer?

the photo perspective in sales communicates position to the viewer.
in this case, a parallel explaination: dog elevating rear end in your
direction or rolling over rather than biting you.
like Ghandi said remember? "there's a lot of **** on the road"
