android is so bad. I've been digging through the code base and it's amateurish garbage compared to iOS

the whole API is such a cobbled-together mess, like there are a few nice bits but also so much that's awful

all of the app life cycle stuff makes way more sense on iOS

i can only assume that everyone in the apple decision room wears tight leather pants, it's the only explanation for why they want it to be even thinner

5s thickness is just fine, but maybe apple is operating under the assumption that people are using cases for their phones

i got one of those wood bumpers that just covers the edges, and it's pretty neat. it also has the additional benefit of not making the phone feel that warm when it heats up, but it obviously breaks if you drop it too had - which, like a cork bike helmet is what it's supposed to do

grovemade even wanted to replace them for me, but i ended up spending as much on customs charges as a brand new cover

Research confirms that black is a color like silver is a color, and that beyond black is clarity.
Are there any actually decent waterproof cases worth a drat? I've been caseless forever but need something to put my phone in since I go fishing constantly and tend to wade out into the water..

I have that life proof waterproof case that leaves the screen glass exposed and I have used it while training for a triathlon and running and cycling in the rain, it works great but it's huge so I only use it when I know I am going to get wet.

Pretty sure the camera bump is there on purpose to encourage you to spend extra money on a phone rubber

I got the ribbed one for extra pleasure

one of the most popular apps for blackberry os when they came up with an app store (and before that, even) was an app to simulate a battery pull and even run it on a schedule because bbos was loving poo poo

some of them could be configured to tweet that your device was doing a battery pull
