I think that plan works well for single people with one phone and one primary set of headphones, but in our house of 4 when we had a period of over a year where 2 had samsung notes and 2 had Moto Zs without headphone jacks, it was a nightmare trying to find the adapters all the time, especially...

I'll never get another phone without a headphone jack, so I guess I'll be keeping my Note 9 for a while. We used to have two Moto Z Forces in our family that didn't have headphone jacks, and we were always losing the little adapters. And we couldn't just leave them attached to the headphones...

I used the Samsung silicon case for a few weeks, and the cutout on the bottom drove me nuts. I got the blue one (which is actually light gray) so it was really noticeable, I wish I had ordered the black one instead, but I got it for free with Samsung Pay points so I wasn't that disappointed. I...

When I got my first smartphone the iphone was only available on AT&T, and I didn't want to switch from Verizon so I got the HTC Droid Eris, which I think was one of the first few android phones released. At some point I remember switching to an iphone, but it only took one day of using the...

I'm hunting for the same thing. For my Note 8 I had the Samsung protective cover, which was very thin (0.95mm) and fit perfect so you couldn't even tell it was there. It was the closest thing I've ever had to a phone still looking naked, but for some reason Samsung didn't release the same case...

I always use Squaretrade. Since we always hand down phones to the kids after we use them for a year or two, we end up keeping them for 3-4 years. So with squaretrade the third year is only $30, so it comes to $159 for three years of coverage. Only thing I hate is having to pay it all at once...

The smart lock feature on my Note 8, where the phone would automatically stay unlocked when at certain locations like my house, stopped working well on the Note 8s a few months ago and would always require me to unlock my phone when at home. Anyone know if it seems to be working better on the...

Is it true that you cant swipe up from the lock screen to bring up your cards like you could on the note 8?

Mine just changed to shipped from preparing, with expected delivery Friday. (128gb ordered on 8/13)

Be careful, I tried that last year and ran into issues. After I canceled my first order with Bestbuy, when I went to place my second order through Bestbuy it said the line wasn't available to upgrade. It took a day or two before the Verizon system cleared the first order and I was able to place...

Mine now says Preparing. 128gb ordered on 8/13

This is exactly what happened last year with the Note 8. Every other seller shipped the phones early and people were getting them on Tuesday/Wednesday, except of course for Bestbuy. My Note 8 shipped that Wednesday with scheduled delivery on the Friday release day, which is when it showed up. So...

My screen protectors show the same way, arriving Monday, but if you go to the Amazon listing it says in stock 8/22, which is Wed. So I'm guessing those won't ship until later in the week. My free cases have already begun shipping though, with delivery estimated for tomorrow.

He mentions the battery degradation somewhere in the middle of the video, and says he uses new phones for that reason.

For some reason when ordering the skyfall blue case above along with a screen protector, it wouldn't apply the discount to the screen protector. So I first ordered the case by itself for $1.40, then I did a second order for the screen protector. I first tried one screen protector and it...
