Agreed. I went with newegg as well. In particular as I realized I was apparently still under their old "shoprunner" service that gave me free 2nd day shipping. :) In either case, I'll probably sell the free items. I originally had the Axon 7 when it first came out. Returned due to bugs, signal...

Nothing like the otterbox. Best you'll find is a TPU inner lining covered by plastic. Better than nothing and much fewer step for a battery swap. Nowhere near the hassle (or protection) of the otter. Fortunately I'm able to stick with a basic 1 piece case since I don't need my phone to...

I already bought 2 V20s for a better deal than any retailer is going to offer for BF. Especialy for such a new phone. Gotta love CL and Swappa. ;) No waiting or long lines for me. Hah.

Yeah, I'm running on glass only. Got another protector I'm going to try soon. Just need to get around to installing it! Tried returning the Zizo I bought on Amazon. But they're wanting me to pay return shipping, less original shipping costs. For what I consider a defective product, that's...

Some issues with the Zizo screen protector. 1. There is a noticeable "grid" you can see in the pictures above. On a white screen, it appears as almost a glittering effect, depending on viewing angle. 2. It actually only adheres along the black edges. 3. As such, it technically creates a...

Got mine today, went on quite easily, no bubbles. It technically doesn't cover the entire glass surface. Doesn't curve to the far edges. But yeah, the viewing portion of the screen is covered plus it has a black border around the edges and camera to prevent said halo effect. So far, it works.

Chrome. It's the best browser I've used on mobile and doesn't seem to drain the battery on the LG V20 like it does on my Samsung devices. On those, I tend to gravitate towards Firefox. It's a good browser as well, I just use Chrome more often and in more places.

Never get insurance myself. Pay in full either via retailer or other 2nd-hand sources. Then get a basic case and don't drop/lose it. Should the unthinkable happen, at that point I'm sure I can find an even cheaper one on eBay/Swappa/CL. For the money I've saved by not paying insurance over...

Its surprisingly cool. May be the first phone of late that can charge and play a demanding game without feeling hot. Barely warm at all. Normal use is nothing for it. Now my s7...

Yes, just a very basic plastic screen protector. I'll be replacing it with something better soon.

I just remove them because it feels like plastic. Good temporary protection I suppose until I order a tempered glass protector.

Yep, it has a basic clear TPU case in the box. It has a cheap plastic screen protector on as well. It's hidden better than others I've had of late. :)

Yeah, I think they're closed more than they're open. I've shopped with them occasionally for many years. But usually end up on Amazon or having Best Buy price match them. Almost always fastest way to go. But in this case, no tax, and being one of the few places to get the unlocked version of...

It'll probably be just like the rest where you have to fill out an online form with imei and proof of purchase. Definitely wouldn't expect it to ship together. The cheap tablet will, but it'll go up on CL right away. Maybe get half what it's listed for if I'm lucky. Now to see what they mean...

Coming from my most recent phone, the S7 Active, I'm already expecting a huge drop in battery life. :) Pixel XL looks like a nice phone for somebody whose always wanted an iPhone running Android. So it meets half of my requirements; latest android. The other half being interesting hardware...
