For a while I would make an effort to keep my phone out of my front pocket because of the fade. After a while it's just annoying. I've dropped and broken phones, misplaced them etc. Ive decided it's not something I care enough about for the aggravation. I keep mine in my front pocket even though I don't like the fade it leaves. As for leaving it in your back pocket… I would definetly shatter my phone on day 1 if I did this. Do people actually carry phones in their back pocket??

If anyone wanted to frown at my Phone fade I would ask them to shift their gaze about 8" to the right and frown at these nuts.

I have a mish mash fade on a couple pairs that I've had a long time from various pocket knives I've used and carried regularly

Personally, I think it would be cool to have a fade that represented all the generations of iPhones

[urbanwoodsman]

I was being sarcastic. I don't really care about where or what fades. But there is no fucking way I would carry my iphone in my back pocket. My wallet looks like a mangled piece of chewed up leather, couldn't imagine what my phone would look like.

Although I prefer having my phone in my back pocket I don't like the fade from it which is why I started taking it out before I sit.  With my current pair I decided to stick with just a small credit card holder which IMO looks best.

I generally keep my phone in my front pocket, until it inevitably eats through the pocket bag, then I transfer it to the back pocket. As for the fade, I really do not give a shit, it's where I keep my phone and it's a natural process so….

Mega, I'm with you.  And is difficult to write this without appearing pompous, but jeans are one of the few articles of clothing that can truly reflect what you do and who you are.  If you start trying to increase/decrease evo in a particular place, you are altering that story.  I love that in Ruedi's Jeans Museum, he has sequences of jeans from the same person (proper working Americans), the similarity in fades between the jeans is incredible….

normally i keep my phone in the inner ppckets of my jackets. when not wearing one i put it into the left chestpocket of my shirt and when i go out I'll put it in either my front or the back pocket of my jeans…simple as that!...

Ive always kept my iphone in my back pocket, and its doing just fine.  no case or anything just stick it back there, and I live a pretty active lifestyle

[Megatron1505]

Yeh, mine spends half it's life being sat on too, with no ill effects.

I was sitting on my iPhone in my 666D all night last night, but that's a fully lined pocket too.

Anyone bought from Hannon before? I'm wondering if it would be worth it to have someone proxy me a parcel rather than buy from them direct in order to save a few $s.

What's the cheapest way to ship a shirt overseas?

[Seul]

First Class Int'l Mail.

[bagley920]

@Seul:

First Class Int'l Mail.

Assuming its under 4 pounds

[Seul]

Indeed.

[urbanwoodsman]

If it's over 4 pounds then it has to be sent Priority mail. In which case(obviously, depending on location), you might just go with a USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate box.

Correct me if I'm wrong guys.

[bagley920]

Yep, over 4 pounds is either Priority or Express. Depending on the weight, flat rate can be cheaper, same as domestic

The only thing I don't like is that it seems the US is one of the only countries that doesn't atleast offer a signature option for 1st Class Int'l

[Seul]

On the other hand: First Class is as fast as Express and Priority… I'd suggest using First Class only when you're dealing with someone you can trust though... It is not tracked and Paypal will not accept it if the buyer starts a fraude-claim... On the other hand: does Paypal accept àny USPS services, éven the tracked ones?.. I remember some mates of mine saying they only accept a UPS/ FedEx/... receipt and tracking #...

Would you say most USPS rates are cheaper than UPS/Fedex?
