Back to your regularly scheduled iphone 4 thread
Myles,
Since you are going to threadjack to teach me English, let me correct you.
When I said you fly through it, literally, there is no error in my ways or usage.
I emphasized "you fly through it", which is the meaning, intent or use of literally.

Here you go:
usage Since some people take sense 2 to be the opposite of sense 1, it has been frequently criticized as a misuse. Instead, the use is pure hyperbole intended to gain emphasis, but it often appears in contexts where no additional emphasis is necessary.

In my case, I felt compelled to emphasize "you fly through it" and hence literally applies.
However, an English teacher I am not and heck if it matters in a discussion about a phone.

Good thing I got one last night.
Phone almost took its first dive this a.m. Caught it in time. Had it fallen, I am sure that cover would have done the trick.
Stay away from the bumper. It only covers the edges and leaves the back exposed.
The bumper is an Apple exclusive but Best Buy does have a copy cat version.
