On Nov 2, 2007, I ordered a black GadgetWrap iPhone Smartwrap Silicone Case. The thing I loved about it is that it has a method for storing the headset cable, so it doesn’t get insanely tangled every time I put the iPhone in my pocket.

This is pretty hard to figure out, but at least the “Help” function in Leopard works pretty well. Just type “tabs” and you’ll see the answer there shortly.
