For sure they are worth the price.  They are amazing wireless noise reducing headphones.  Forget the case, fools -- it's not the case, it's the headphones that count.  And anyway, what other headphone case allows you to remove the headphones from sitting deep inside your top-loading briefcase, that's sitting on the floor in front of your seat on a flight.  Genius!

The real problem with email account security is the opportunity for intruders to mess around with the accounts. EXAMPLE: My wife has a very unique email address -- *********@me.com -- she has owned it from day one when @me.com accounts were made available by Apple. She has never once requested to Apple to change her password, or report she forgot her password, etc. Yet over the past 3 years she has weekly had individuals making these requests thus causing her account to be locked by Apple and requiring us to wait 8 hours later before we can unlock the account. All Apple would have to do to stop this merry-go-round would be to require these phony requests to be authenticated with a text message code or email message request for confirmation that the owner actually was the one making the request (or maybe there's an even better way). It's really nuts. Apple tech's response to us several times has been, "just give up the email address and go to something not so enticing to thieves." Like it's our fault we were early adopters and got a prime email address. Come on Apple!!!!

81% - I would have thought that rather low retention rate in the retail market. I haven't worked in retail for over 12 years, but back then, we never had more than 5% staff loss in any given year - 18000+ employees (not counting those who reached retirement age). 

Working in the prison commissary doesn't count.

Come on Apple, just volunteer to help! Why not? I don't believe the yahoos who are posting comments here for a second that this would wreck the security for "all" iPhones. What? Now there are limits to what we can accomplish technologically? Surely Apple could open up just this one iPhone for the Feds, and get the information they need. How could that endanger all other iPhones out there, including mine?
