I looked at that case with several others. Ended up getting the Symmetry case. I have a tendency to put the phone in a front pocket so the Defender would have been too much.
Purchased a 128GB WiFi/Cellular last night. I did not activate the cellular part since I have a hotspot on my phone currently. I also picked up a black Griffin Survivor Slim case.
I did not get the chance to start using it last night since it did take several hours to download (30GB) from iTunes with the information that I have on my phone. My WiFi at home was a little slow.
The density at this time seems to be ok. There is one b41 8t8r tower with b26 about 1 1/2 miles away and another b26 tower about 1 mile away from where I was staying. I was able to receive b41 form the tower above when I could see the tower and no obstructions within eye site (300 to 400 yards). I will be returning there in a couple of months so I hope that they will have it optimized and powered correctly by then.
Has Sprint started to optimize the Charlotte area since January 1st? I looked at the map where I was over the holidays and it says the LTE signal should be fair with Turbo available. I was lucky to have one bar of 3G signal inside and two bars of 3G outside. I was not able to receive a LTE signal.
I currently have Comcast as a home phone service. I have considered getting a home phone system that I can connect my cell phone with Bluetooth since I do not use the home phone at all. I just have not been able to convince my wife this is the way to go. it would save us about $50.00 a month.

I received a 16GB WiFi iPad2 for a 10 year anniversary gift from work the other day. I took it back to Best Buy for a store credit so I can upgrade with more storage after the first of the year. I looked around the store while I was there and was surprised that the cellular model at Best Buy was only 30 dollars more than WiFi only. I may need to invest in one since the cost is not that much more though I will not activate the cellular part at this time just in case I need it in the future. Already have the hotspot active on my iPhone.
