    Trade in successful!

    I had two trade ins pending, a Flip 4 for a Flip 5 and a Fold 4 for a Fold 5. Both completed over the weekend. Wasn't worried about them being accepted, both phones looked like new, just happy there were no shipping shenanigan's.

    Fold 5 Car Mount/Charger Recommendations

    Yes the ESR mount / charger seems to have very strong magnets. It holds well with the Fold open, -even better in landscape orientation. I don't like the big cradles, and you have to charge in landscape orientation with volume, power / fingerprint sensor pointing down and inaccessible. The...

    Fold 5 Car Mount/Charger Recommendations

    I have the UAG Pylo Pro, along with the ESR Magsafe Car Charger / Mount https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HNBHSQV?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details . I'm using the vent mount. It works great and I love the small size and ability to charge in any orientation vs the large cradle I used to...

    Who's Getting Fold 5?

    I didn't want to do it but I'm in. Fold 4 screen protector has started to come up a bit and am worried about the screen splitting up the middle. Seen some horror stories with the screen failing. The Fold 5 hinge is supposed to be better with a more durable screen. Will skip the 6 unless it's...

    Samsung UV Sanitizer

    The CDC says touching objects is not the main method of transmission, although may be possible. There have been many reports discussing airborne droplets being the primary method of spread, and surface spread being much less likely. Your personal phone is even less likely. Just don't borrow one...

    Screen protector

    I just installed the LK film protector on a friends phone and I have to say it's my favorite film install out of the many I've done. The install method really helps with keeping it dust free. Got a perfect install the first time- No bubbles or dust! For film go LK...

    Samsung UV Sanitizer

    The chances of you getting the corona virus from your phone are extremely low. Your probably more likely to get struck by lightening. The UV light would likely assist with killing a virus or bacteria. Again there are no gold standard studies, but if you wait for those it'll be too late...

    Screen flickering on Google search

    Yep I get it occasionally with the google app going through the news feed. Not a big deal really, I knew it was the app as it doesn't happen anywhere else. I'm sure it'll be corrected with an app update..

    Trade in Fail!!

    I've recently traded 3 phones with Samsung. My Note 10+ was pristine. I bought a Pixel 3 with screen burn in for trade bait, and a Pixel 3 xl with bad screen burn in for trade bait. All three were approved. It asks if ALL terms and conditions are met for which I said NO on the Pixels. Then...

    Screen protector

    My fingerprints work perfectly with the EGV protector. In the install video they tell you to do the UV light an extra time over the fps at the end of the install.. I did the UV light 3 extra times over the fps. Works as good as no protector. Wasn't hard to register the prints either...

    Note 20 Ultra pre-order thread!

    Do you have them in right? I originally put the part that sticks out - the charging contact ,in my year (thinking it was like a normal ear bud) but quickly switched them around. They should sound great..
