So glad I checked this thread. I just got a Nexus 5x for Christmas and switched to Google Fi and wanted to get my wife switched over but the google store was out of the 6 and only had the 6p.

Do you know what comforter you have in that cover? I'm looking to replace my ragged quilt with a duvet but I'm hesitant on what comforter to buy to stuff it with.

It's just a bed bath and beyond markdown. ''Distinctly Home blended duvet'' was 280CA marked down to 80CA. It's duck down and feather, if you've allergies. I know eff all about this stuff, I just bought it because it was cheap-ish. It's pretty warm but not super heavy, good for west coast weather.

Shortly after buying all that another goon linked a website ''society6 dot com'' which has awesome duvet covers. Ah well.

Anyone have any recommendations for cases? I've usually bought the otterbox commuter for every smartphone I've had, but wondering if there is a new kid on the block that does it better/cheaper.

I like the color offerings of incipio for cases. They make nice poo poo and have a wider range of products.

I only use a dbrand skin for the back, since the blue version picks up fingerprints pretty easily and is a bit too slick for my taste. Phone is still flawless after a year of use (as is the skin - those things are really good).

I would just check back once a day. They were also sold out a few days ago before getting it back in stock yesterday.

The 32gig should be $250 and the 64gig $300. Make sure the seller is Amazon.com and not Shecky's Phone Shack.

I've been saving up for a 3d printer, but now I'm thinking about upgrading my samsung galaxy light or whatever the gently caress it is from cricket over to a nexus 6.

So, I guess thanks? I'll either kick off the year with a new phone I don't really need, or a new 3d printer that I don't really need.

One lets you create guns and sex toys at home, the other gives you slightly smoother Facebook scrolling.

Yeah, I was phoneposting, I really wanted to save the $50 and get a 32GB model, but being forced to upgrade to the bigger storage is probably for the best (for me, at least). Anxiously awaiting its arrival (edit) tomorrow... dammit.

Diztronic tpu cases are the goon-approved choice for almost all phones in the Android thread. I had one for my nexus 6 (have the 6p now).

If he's correct about his phone model, it's the equivalent of a 4 year old phone. Definitely a massive upgrade, not just slightly smoother scrolling. The light was massively outdated on release.

Huh, that surprises me. That's what I'm using now, and they've worked well for me, but my only criteria were that the case be slim and cheap. Score one for stinginess!

I picked up all nine seasons of The X-Files on Blu-ray. I didn't get by the gigantic box set because it doesn't offer anything other than a big-rear end box to hold the individual seasons and movies.

Not worth the extra $100 or so.
