Working as a reporter years ago, I covered a lot of courtroom dramas and I can tell you the most important thing I learned from all those days of sitting in court taking notes: do not EVER go to court without the best lawyer you can find.

I saw identical “crimes” presented in the same courtroom to the same judge and honest to GOD, the cases where the defendant represented themselves or waived the right to an attorney ALWAYS got a worse outcome than those who came with a lawyer – even with the exact same excuse, I mean, defense. And in most cases, those with a lawyer had the benefit of back room dealmaking so that all the judge had to do was bless the agreement between the D.A. and the defense attorney. Those without a deal got the shaft after their case was heard.

When the chemists or scientists invented the clear plastic film to protect the military’s helicopter blades, I’m sure they had no idea that there would be a new commercial use for the product. As it turns out, this particular film is ideal for covering handheld electronic devices like my new iPhone. The film is clear, scratch proof, flexible, and practically indestructible. This film covers the whole iPhone to protect it from getting scratched, dirty, or even dropped, as the film has a grippy feel that makes the iPhone less likely to slip out of your hand.
