A simple iphone 4 case that does the job?

In a few days I will be getting my first Iphone (4) and I have been looking for cases… I would prefer one that is not very large, as thin as possible, really. The smaller ones seem to just be there for looks and don't do much for shock resistance, though… So I was wondering if anyone has seen a good case that isn't too big and prevents breaks.
Also, are wooden cases any good?

My iPhone won't send iMessages to iPhone users?

I've been having this problem frequently, like everyday now, and my phone simply will not send an iMessage to any iPhone users! I've tried really hard, resetting it, deleting the network settings, and everything. And yes, iMessages is turned on. Like 500 times, I've had to turn it back on. It just sends out as a regular text message! I text a friend in Norway regularly and I know it has to cost for regular text!

Does anyone else have any other ideas?

Added (1). I'm the only iPhone user in my house. My mom and my sister both have regular phones. And even if they did have an iPhone I'm on my own iTunes account.

Added (2). And whether they have an iPhone or not, it's supposed to go out as an iMessage unless they have the SMS option turned on, where the message goes out as an text if iMessage isn't available. I said that its been happening everyday to me, and even if I turn iMessages on, it turns itself back off.

IPhone 4S rollback to 6.1.2?

I have a Apple iPhone 4S running IOS 6.1.3 and i was wondering if it was possible in someway to go back to IOS 6.1.2? I have tried downloading the firmware from Apple Servers and Shift-LClick the restore button on iTunes and selecting the.ipsw file from there. When i attempted this method i kept getting the 3194 error.

Since that method failed i again tried looking at using redsn0w to rollback my iPhone, it claimed it couldn't find the SHSH blobs from both Apple and Cydia servers. Can someone please suggest a way on rolling back my device or am i stuck with IOS 6.1.3

Should I buy a new iphone 4 or a used Iphone 4s?

So should I buy a brand new factory unlocked Iphone 4 or a used Iphone 4s? They're around the same price (which is my limit) and my mind is set on an iphone. I'd like the 4s but the thought of buying second hand online feels risky. Which do you think would be best?

Added (1). Just wanna throw in that I know all the specs of the phones, Its just a "new vs used" question:/

Drives no longer recognized on usb?

I have two front usb ports on my pc. One of them is used for my backup 1tb drive while the other is shared between my iphone, usb file transfers and another drive. I've been using it like this for over six years now. Occasionally I'll have a new device like a card reader or another phone or camera that I plug in without ever having problems.

Today I bought a usb fan as well as a cheap little 4 usb hub. I'm pretty sure it's the usb hub causing problems because it worked for a while when I first tested it with a usb flash drive but then it just stopped. The PC can't recognize it.

Anyway I tried it on both usb ports and it didn't work. Now I try to plug in my backup 1tb and i hear a connect sound but I can't access it. It shows up on the "safely remove hardware" thing on the lower right corner but I can't acces it. I've tried activating it on Disk Management but it doesn't seem to have worked.
