    What internal storage size did you go with?

    I have 256 on my Note 10+ so 128 felt like a downgrade. Besides that, the difference in cost was fairly trivial.

    How to stop Verizon now from backing up to OneDrive

    Greetings all. I have a Verizon Note20 ultra. When I set the phone up, I somehow configured it to backup to OneDrive every night. I don't recall how I did it but at some point the Note asked me if I wanted to substitute OneDrive for Samsung cloud (which samsung is now offering as part of it's...

    All these new Verizon updates are bricking my Note 8!

    I've never done that. I disable apps with package disabler and have never had an issue with the vzw updates. If course, ymmv.

    Note 8 or Pixel XL 2

    I went through the same choice. I'm one of those guys who just loves Qi charging and not having it was a deal breaker for me on the pixel. Also, I do use the pen A LOT. I mostly use it like s mouse pointer and swype is like a bazillion times more accurate with the pen. This is my third...

    Best Cases & Accessories for the Note 8

    I have the Tech 21wallet case. At full retail, the current price is ridiculous. Overall, it's an excellent case though. Excellent protection without being bulky or thick. It also has a quality feel about it. The only minor gripes I have is that the buttons are slightly harder to press...

    Samsung Galaxy Note 8 wallet case

    How are the cutouts on that amovo case? Much effort to push the buttons?

    How protective are the Samsung OEM cases (like the LED case)?

    I love the look and features of these cases, but from what I can see online, the tops and bottoms of the phone are almost completely unprotected and there doesn't seem to be any padding anywhere. Could those of you who are rocking one of those cases comment? I'm specifically asking about the...

    Seidio Cases for Note 8 Available Now.

    The magnet fell of one of my cases, so the kickstand wouldn't stay shut. I've had five to six of those holsters fail. Sometimes the spring in the top hinge would just get weak. Other times the belt clip itself cracked off. That would take about a year to happen and by then I could replace it...

    Seidio Cases for Note 8 Available Now.

    I'll be the dissenting voice. I had Seido cases on my S4 and Note 5. For both phones I went through at least two of the cradles because the top opening hinge would fail. On my last phone, the kickstand eventually broke. The case was great from a protection standpoint, and it had a quality...

    Samsung Galaxy Note 8 wallet case

    The S8 cases came down way quick. I love my Tech 21 case but it is certainly NOT worth that price. Not even close. I wound up getting a pretty insane deal on the Note 8. Because of an issue at my provider, they replaced my Note 5 with a Note 8 for $155. So, I felt like I could afford a...

    Samsung Galaxy Note 8 wallet case

    I have the Tech21 case. It's really nice and I definitely recommend it. It seems to offer a fair degree of protection for a case that is thin and light. All the vulnerable edges are covered with cushioned plastic material. The materials are top notch. The back is glossy and like to hold...

    Best Cases & Accessories for the Note 8

    I have this and am returning it. Way too bulky and the plastic feels cheap. It does look really protective though and the price was nice.

    Best Cases & Accessories for the Note 8

    I have the ludicrously overpriced (and sure to drop in price dramatically over the next few months) Tech 21 wallet case. I like it a lot because it offers nice protection with all corners of the note 8 covered. Its also fairly thin and doesn't add much bulk to an already large phone. It would...

    Wireless charger that actually holds a charge?

    All of my chargers do that. The most reliable though is the Tylt.
