Henrik Zetterberg posted:Yup I’ve used spigen hybrids for years now and love them. I drop my phone like once a year and don’t let my kids touch it, so I really have no use for anything bulkier. My only gripe is the new ones appear to have done away with the shiny chrome buttons in favor of black on the black bumper model/clear on the clear bumper model. The chrome buttons looked really nice. Edit: Looks like the 8 is well on it's way to becoming the 4S/5S of it's generation, that model people cling to years past it's time because the newer models cut features they love.

SeANMcBAY posted:I like Apple’s own leather case on my 7. It’s very comfortable to hold. I went caseless for the first few months and I felt like the phone was so thin that it was digging into my palm. The leather case is great but it does interfere with edge swipes a bit. Guess it's less of an issue now the hard press app switcher is gone.

I use the Apple battery case (the one with the oh so attractive hump) because battery life is a major concern for me and it gets rid of that. It's a shame that it's going to completely invalidate one of the key strengths of the iPhone 8/X though.

BGrifter posted:I love my Spigen hybrid case on my iPhone 6s! I've been pretty anti-case for years, but it's just a bumper with a thin clear plastic back. Makes it sit flat despite the camera wart, gives a tiny lip if I put the phone face down. Very much worth I bought the Spigen Liquid Air Armor case for my 7 Plus and it permanently hosed up the finish on the back of the phone, leaving shiny speckles all over it. I'm still mad.

I love my Spigen clear cases to death. They feel SO nice and are my go to on every device. I've never had an issue with them. ymmv as seen though. I really love the Vü charger but I need something that works with two phones at once. Any suggestions? I was hoping they had a larger one but they don't.

What’s the slimmest case people can recommend for iPhone 7 with an open bottom? I got a lovely feeling flexible thing off eBay for £3 which honestly would be fine except having the bottom covered means it won’t work with my Belkin dock.

Can Qi even charge multiple devices at once without multiple pads/units? I thought that was part of the innovation of Apple's AirPower that they are offering back to Qi to put into the standard.

Poppyseed Poundcake posted:I'm looking for a wireless charger, but all the ones on amazon have wires. Where do you actually find one? … I don't understand. Do people really want battery powered contact-required (cause it's not wireless in the sense of wifi drat it) chargers? Like what use case is that for that a battery pack with a USB to lightning cable doesn't handle? Anyway I was going to post that IKEA already sells Qi charging pads (and lamps) that don't seem too bad. Like they have a coaster like pad:  A thing you can drill a hole into your tables to install (or presumably put it in those office tables with the holes already there for cables  And they also specifically sell a pad with 3 charging ports  http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/departments/wireless_charging/ e: sorry the sa app didn't make those timg links automatically Boris Galerkin fucked around with this message at 16:37 on Sep 16, 2017 |

Poppyseed Poundcake posted:I want a wireless charger with no wires. Like the prestige. Can I ask why? Not mocking I'm just honestly curious. I literally can't fathom a reason why a battery powered inductive charging pad would ever be a thing but that's also why I'm not a "inventor" stealing money from people through Kickstarter. e: I mean the inductive charging thing is cool. I'd love to be able to just set my phone down on my night stand and it's already charging. I just can't think of a reason why a battery powered pad would ever be more useful than a small battery pack and a cable. It's not like you can pick up the phone from the pad.

He is criticizing the dumb cutout after all and wrote that Ive is either going crazy or lost a big bet to allow it.

wicka posted:Incorrect. They stopped even trying to put the fingerprint sensor under the screen when they decided to pursue Face ID, which was over a year ago. Supply chain rumors were false. Touch ID ain’t coming back. Oh I'm sorry I didn't know you worked for Apple. It's not like I'm just going off what's being leaked in the news this past year. You didn't even bother to read the second half of my post. False Toaster posted:Not true. They opted to not include TouchID because they couldn't get a feasible production yield with the on-screen fingerprint sensor (like Samsung with the S8/Note 8) in time. It'll likely happen next year when they can mainstream production or whenever Apple is comfortable fully adopting the tech. False Toaster fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Sep 16, 2017 |

Yes, all power must flow unimpeded from the Apple logo. If your case isn't made metal then it will almost certainly work. Flesh clad cases will definitely work.

Every model of the 8 is currently available for pickup (with pre order, so no line gamble). Only shipments are 1-2 weeks out for some combinations. Kind of pissed I woke up at 3AM to pre order since I didn't fall back asleep afterwards

My carrier is out of 8+'s, but their shipping dates are as early as release week, so no real delay. I've got to get an old janky 6's screen fixed for a trade in and then I'm down for at least one 8+. And no, I don't actually think it's worth the upgrade, but everyone else in my family must love using two hands to hold phones and they're ready to embrace tiny tablets. My Trumpian hands prefer a SE.
