    Ok so I just got an iPhone 4 and need to put a case around it or else I'm going to destroy this thing. What are people out there using?

    Get an Otter Box. I have one for my Blackberry and the phone still looks new after a couple of years. My wife has an Otter Box for her new Iphone and seems to be pretty durable.

    I have the Otterbox commuter and I am very happy with it so far. The Defender line offers the most protection. I took mine down to BestBuy and tried a few on for size before I bought one.

    Otter Box---- My wife closed her iphone in the back door of her suv hard enough that it jammed up the door and all it did was dent the otter box no damage to the phone. Also have one for my iphone and it has made it over two seasons when before i was going through phones about every six months.

    Great topic and looking forward to what others have to say.....here is my list of favorites

    myradar - Best radar app I have found

    Sun seeker - if you have any tree issues worth the $5...will show you were the sun is any time of the year. Great way to determine if a tree is causing shade issues throughout the year.

    Tunein radio - if you want to listen to the radio

    2Do - for keeping track of tasks

    Week Cal - like this better then the one that comes with iphone

    Logmein - awesome if you want to gain access to your irrigation or work computer on your phone. Has saved me from coming into work on many occasions or making last minutes changes to my irrigation program. Also if I have a file at work I can access my work computer and send the file through email to my home address. It was $20 i think, but well worth it for me. You will need to have internet access on your irrigation and/or work computer and install the free version of logmein. Very easy to set up.

    Pinpoint Lightning - will send you a text and a siren if lightning within 20 to 40 miles depending on your settings. Has kept me and my staff dry on a few occasions when that storm has snuck up on us.

    Anyway, enjoy.. love my iphone and waiting for the new ipad to come out in the spring. Was a BB user before and would never go back.

    LogMeIn Ignition - Install the free version on your work computers and you can do any thing...just like Jason said. Paid $14.99 when it was on sale as a back to school special. Normally $29.99 and worth every penny.

    Multiple flashlight apps. I put one on every page so I don't have to search for one when I need a quick light.

    The new iOS5 Reminders program is nice.

    Accuweather - WeatherBug - My Radar. Find the one that you like. I have 7 different ones. Hey, I like to try different ones.

    Wikipedia - For info on anything on the fly.

    Google Earth

    W & Y pages (White & Yellow pages)

    Merriam Webster Dictionary - You can even say the word to look it up.

    eBay & PayPal - Shop for stuff for work and pay for it.

    Craiglist/Home Depot/Lowes - More shopping tools for work

    Pandora - Gotta have music!

    Adobe Reader

    Google Translate - Cause you never know when you need that Hebrew translation.

    To name a few....

    For android:

    My-Cast works for me but i would suggest finding one that uses a weather station close to you. Suprisingly TWC app was horrible on my phone

    Evernote-best to do list and app to organize any notes you have and your able to search even is note is taken in a picture

    GoogleDocs-working in the cloud

    UGA Turf Mgmt

    Droid flashlight

    Angry Birds- most addicting game ever. Had to unistall couldnt put it down
