[QUOTE="kmkl, post: 691384, member: 50604"] So, I am looking into finally purchasing a new iPhone, and will probably make the buy this either in the next two weeks, or by the time summer ends. When summer ends I am starting second year high school (Gr. 10) and am looking for antitheft tips/options for my potential new iPhone. Why? Well, it is High School, and there are plenty immature idiots and jerks that have no respect for other peoples valuable and feelings. I actually had my iPod video stolen during Gym class, when my iPod was most vulnerable. I was quite ticked off/ saddened by this and have been without my music on the go for about 3 or 4 months. This school year, I am not taking gym (sadly) so I have no reason to take the iPhone out of my pocket. Now lets get something out of the way first. I am not a stupid, reckless teenager, who does not take care of their belongings. So what I am asking you is to take age out of the equation. So I'm wondering what are my choices for protecting my iPhone from idiots' hands. What would you recommend? Is there maybe some kind of app (present or in future production) that would allow me to retrieve/ know the location of the stolen iPhone considering the new model has GPS. Or would this not be possible due to some restrictions on the apps developed by the SDK. Would be a shame to lose the new iPhone which costs MONEY. So yeah, Suggest away! Thanks!!! Extra Info: Am living in Canada, so provider will be Rogers. (but I don't think they have some kind of hardware retrieval option) tldr: Looking for a way to protect an iPhone from theft, and if it gets stolen to retrieve it? [/QUOTE]
