    Samsung Pay Wireless Charger Promotion - They Sent TWO!

    Two arrived for me today, one white and the other black. I was part of the beta, but have no idea why they would send two, at least I got a white one which is the color I wanted.

    How many times have you dropped your Note 5? Case or no case at the time?

I have never been happier with a...

    Free charging pad

    Ordered mine. I hate to mention it since the charger was free, but it would have been nice to have been able to choose a color.

I then purchased another Note 5 from an ATT corporate store the next day and the new phone didn't have the screen problem when viewing light backgrounds outdoors. There...

    Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Cases

    I ordered the Samsung clear protective case in silver. Newegg is offering a better deal than I can get from Samsung even if I use their 30% off coupon. Plus, there is no shipping or taxes to pay. I'm also picking up the UAG in clear for those days when I need drop protection. SAMSUNG...
