Yeah, nobody has ever scratched gorilla glass before... nobody... #eyeroll https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDUBXLLaE88 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EimSyAIuDo

I feel bad for anyone who pays $800 for a Nexus 5. I'm hoping if anyone is smart enough to buy an unlocked phone, they are smart enough to know Google sells it themselves for half the price. Best Buy is evil.

I currently own a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and I use a Seidio Vitreo. I don't think I can ever go back to plastic. The glass just feels so much more smoother than plastic. It looks and feels like you don't even have a screen protector on your phone. Not to mention that the glass helps to absorb...

I don't think it's helpful at all to hear "just root it" as most of the time it just doesn't fit the bill. If a user is asking for features that require root privileges, then suggesting root makes sense. If you need access to protected system files, then you need to root your device. Updates...

The Note 2 is my first Android device so I don't have any experience with other companies like Sony, LG, HTC, etc. I've heard many bad things about Sony's earlier efforts, but the tune is changing and people are getting back on board with Sony as Sony is finally recognizing that software is a...

Here's a write up on the Clipboard bug. Ton of other articles as well. Samsung Copy & Paste Bug (AKA Never Trust Samsung) | Terence Eden has a Blog

Add WiFi bug and clipboard bug to that list.

I wouldn't be caught dead using one of those. Weird is an understatement!

Seems to me most in this thread are complaining about security and bugs. :) Windows XP was supported for 10 years for bugs and security fixes.

I think all the glass manufacturers ship from USA. You can order from their website direct, but it'll be expensive. The Seidio Vitreo for example is $30 to ship to Manchester.

Sounds like I did read the article since I know it's BS. It covers nothing except making excuses and giving terrible information out to uninformed people. It's a shameful article.

Yeah, okay. Let's again quote the article of complete BS that yet again tries to make it sound acceptable that we wait for updates. We need to appreciate that updates are hard and slow as molasses? Give me a break! Any developer knows that updates are a huge part of their product. Security...

Exactly. I don't understand why people always associate wanting updates with wanting new features. I want my damn bug fixes and my damn security holes patched. I don't know what surprises me more. That a company would blatantly ignore security concerns and bugs or that users are happy to let it...

Do you have a link? I tried Googling, but didn't find much. I'm always interested in looking at other brands. :) I'm not sure if a matte version exists. So far I've just seen clear glass. For fingerprints, it's not too bad. You still get fingerprints, but they wipe off easy. With plastic, oil...

Check out the drop test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5UqRE7N2Y0 Drops it twice, pretty much flat on the ground. The ground was rough too, which is more realistic conditions. First drop wasn't too bad, second drop smashed the glass protector. He takes off the protector and screen is...
