I’ve been listening to and enjoying a few podcasts lately.

Here is a short list of podcasts I like to listen to this month:

-The Nerdist ( http://www.nerdist.com/ ) in which Chris Hardwick and his buddies interview famous people, and just generally geek out. Live sometimes.

-Smodcast ( http://smodcast.com/ ) in which Kevin Smith and his buddies get incredibly high and talk about nothing in particular.

-On The Verge ( http://www.theverge.com/ ) in which tech journalist Joshua Topolsky and his buddies talk about tech for about a minute and then derail the podcast into madness.

Agent 18 Clearshield for AT&T iPhone 4 on iPhone 4S

Just got an iPhone 4S the other day, wanted the Agent 18 Clearshield ( in clear, not pink! ). Sadly the clear one wasn’t available for the iPhone 4S.

White iPhone 4S Agent18 Clearshield Side

My white iPhone 4S with Agent18 Clearshield

Quick primer: The iPhone 4, 4 for Verizon, and 4S are all separate models. The iPhone 4S is the same for all 3 major US carriers ( AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint ). The only major differences are the AT&T iPhone 4 and the 4S have a SIM slot, and the iPhone 4 for Verizon and iPhone 4S for all carriers have the mute switch moved down slightly.

Note how the 4S hold switch is moved down.

I ended up buying the Agent 18 Clearshield for AT&T iPhone 4 even though I knew the mute switch would be placed slightly wrong.

Very satisfied with this case. If the mute switch placement is a problem for you I suggest CDMA iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S users wait for Agent18 to release the Clearshield in clear for the new devices.
