Sorry, guy.
I love as walking out of Home Depot on a rainy day with my kids like 5 days ago and I heard a sickeningly loud smack. It turned out my 3 year old had unzipped my breast pocket and my 6sPlus landed on the wet rocky gravelly pavement from about 5 feet up. I was nervous when I picked it up but not even a scratch or a ding thanks to good old Saddle-Brown.

Saddle Brown does it again, as it always will. Over and over, you can trust a Saddle Brown case made by apple Inc.

I did. Having never dropped a phone or other portable device, basically ever, I dropped my 6 about three times in a month, once breaking the screen.

poo poo is just slippery, and if it slips slightly your instinct is to tighten your grip. Thanks to it also being rounded, that just accelerates the rate at which it attempts to reach orbit.
It's very pretty but an ergonomic misstep for sure.
Even if its just one of those second-skin style cases, anything that adds some grip is worthwhile.

My instinct is to flail both arms and try to catch something I haven't even really dropped yet, so I end up throwing it across the room.

It physically had tiny gravel embedded in the leather and I kinda picked it out and massaged it a bit and you'd never even know anymore.

It is slippery I give you that. I just can't bring myself to add any bulk to it even if it's minimal like the official leather case which does look and feel really nice indeed. I can't remember the last time I actually dropped a phone but I'll make sure to come in here and tell you guys so you can laugh at me when it does happen.

Crucially, they don't protect the screen.

However if they were called a screen makey nicey feely thingy, then they would live up to their name. You can also reapply the coating to get the same effect with more hassle.

Welcome to the land of tomorrow, my friend. Are you ready for pussy as sweet at honey? Can you handle friends as golden as Midas? Do you desire to live a life as beautiful as Grace Kelly? Of course you do, that's why you ordered the best money can buy from Apple Computers Inc. the Saddle Brown Leather iPhone 6s and 6s+ case.

Is there any way to figure out what is using data in the "Documents and sync" section of built in apps? Mine started going nuts using a lot of cellular data.

I think it is the iCloud Photo Library, which I disabled under the iCloud settings. But I want to be sure. I don't know why it just started going nuts, it should not have been going over cell data to begin with.

I bought an iPhone battery case. It is grippy, and though it looks dumb, the result of that is that it feels way slimmer than other battery cases, and now my phone last for three days between charges. hail satan.

Leather is cool, but I've always been a fan of the Spec White candy shell case.

Let me tell you about true luxury.

What bothers me about leather is this 'natural' material around a tech device made nearly entirely of synthetic components. It's like Samsung using 'wood grain' to advertise their tablets. This is why the silicon case is the case for true champions. Some non-cool and totally wrong people complain about dust attraction and potential cracking of the material, but these are the same people that wear skinny jeans 10 sizes too small and bent their iPhone 6 in half in their back pocket.

They are the same price. Fact is, you're buying a 'cheap' leather case. If you wanted to be elite, you'd get something like a Vaja handcrafted joint or something more expensive still over an Apple product.

Adblockers operate on the OS level so I don't think they can be implemented in Chrome.

Nope, you set the volume when it's plugged in and that's what you get the next time you plug in.

The only real solution is to get audio to your car some other way.. get a bluetooth adapter for your aux port, or something that plugs into the lightning port.
