It DOES fit the iPhone 4s

OtterBox Defender Black Solid Case for iPhone 4/4S                                                                                APL2-I4UNI-20-E4OTR

Pros: Contrary to the specifications, this case DOES fit the iPhone 4s (black, would a white one be any different?) I like the holder, it seems secure, and the rubberized case has a nice look and feel. The clear plastic screen protection is responsive, and I love it - I have never been able to get one of the applique ones to go on without at least one speck of dust or bubble! The rubber covers on the openings are a great feature.

Cons: The holder seems to turn too easily. I wear it on my belt horizontally, and it does want to turn when I go to remove the iPhone. I need to get used to it, and I need to learn how to remove the iPhone effectively.

Disappointment

Pros: Handy power protection while travelling. Like the USB charging ports.

Cons: Will not charge my iPad. I purchased this because I have an older model, and liked it so much I wanted another. The old model DOES charge the iPad, the new model does NOT! Something changed. Both made in China, but the newer one obviously does not have the same output on the USB ports. Charges the iPhone OK, just not the iPad, which has a higher requirement.

Never heard of metric crescent wrenches

Pros: Very nicely made, high quality, great grips.

Cons: Metric? So I think, "why would that make a difference?" Well, it does. They ratchet in metric increments and cannot be used on SAE! I was surprised, figuring that a crescent wrench would adjust like any other crescent wrench I ever knew. They call it "Quick Adjust" - which I did not understand as "Only adjusts in metric increments." My bad, I guess.
