It really wasn't in widespread use until Apple's campaign, though.

I got the official Nokia case for the 930 seeing as there isn't much choice in getting a decent case for my phone. Why must everything have absurd shipping?

The case does make the phone feel much nicer to hold, though, and doesn't look tacky at all. I'm just a bit concerned by how the front cover cannot be shut, ever, but I do have a screen protector applied...

Tsutarja October 5th, 2014 8:47 AM

My pocket devices don't have covers that cover the front, just the back :P

That reminds me, I wonder if I should even get a case for the Tab 4 or not.. I seldom use it.

I saw this topic on a few websites... Is a screen protector still relevant today? Many claim to use their devices without a screen protector, some even naked.

As for me, I will never use my devices without one. Ever.

Meganium October 5th, 2014 6:53 PM

my iPhone doesn't have a screen protector. I use a cellphone wallet which doubles as a case. I almost always have it in there.

I'll have the iPhone for a year next month and it'll have zero cracks, scratches, and bumps. <3 yay for worthiness.

donavannj October 5th, 2014 8:37 PM

I don't have a screen protector, and I don't use the case for my phone.

So far, after 6 months, only issue is minor scratches.

Really, it's just a matter of always being aware of where your phone is.

Tsutarja October 6th, 2014 1:20 AM

I had a screen protector on my phone for a few months until the protector itself got a large scratch on it. Ever since I've removed the protector, the phone's been fine with minor scratches. I haven't bothered yet with putting one on my iPod either.

Legendary Silke October 6th, 2014 1:26 AM

I'm a total klutz and you can probably see a damaged phone coming from miles away. :P

Even the best glass displays will probably give way to a face-down impact to rough concrete floor, so...even having a little plastic screen protector in between helps a lot.

My 930 has a curved glass surface for the display, so the screen protector I have seems to be able to only cover the flat parts, but it for some reason doesn't bother me one bit. (Mind you, the only unprotected parts are basically the far left and right slopes of the viewable area.)

This is going to be a moderator notice, but lately I've been seeing a lot of posts here in the DCC asking for help on technology-related problems. Although I know it doesn't say that you can't ask for help in this thread, I want to make it known that if you have a large tech problem, please create a new thread!

Generally, DCC threads all around PC are meant for small talk and rolling discussion. If it's relevant to the topic, then sure problems are okay to post in here. However, if you have an ongoing problem that doesn't seem like it can be solved in two posts or less, then please create a separate thread.

I think it'd be probably be a good idea to put this notice on the subforum notice and the first post of this thread, too.

I definitely will later on, but I had to run last night when I posted the notice. :)

^more like announcement-worthy, Zacharoni. ;)

You know it's *now* time to upgrade your iPhone when stores stop selling 30-pin chargers and you have to order one online. fml. I went to several all over town and they only have lightning cables. Even went to the AT&T store and they don't have them anymore.

The Apple online store doesn't have them?

Meganium October 8th, 2014 8:22 AM

That's...where I ordered it from. xD $19.00 + shipping/taxes when I could have spent half of it at a nearby store. /cheapo

Tell me about it, I have an older iPod and I can only find off brand chargers for them now. Makes me a little upset.

Have you checked second hand stores? That's where I look for a lot of stuff like that

obZen October 8th, 2014 5:43 PM

My friend pre-ordered his iPhone 6+ (black) through Verizon, and went to the Apple store to find that his preorder wasn't there
He returned days later, still not there
Apple offered him a gold or white for the upgrade price, through Apple
He then cancelled his upgrade, and got the iPhone 6+ 128gb for the upgrade price
He still has an upgrade
#LUCKY

I just like my Lumia 930. It's now sitting snugly within a case. The official flip case is a tad expensive, but it just feels so nice when held.

Tsutarja October 9th, 2014 4:57 AM

Every phone feels better with a case if you ask me :P

Because it's significantly less likely to break when dropped?

Meganium October 9th, 2014 8:33 AM

^isn't that the point of phone cases? xD

also hnnggg. I'm about to put a laptop on layaway (to be picked up in December woo), and I'm struggling between three different laptops in three stores. And I can use my employee discount with these three. I'm so picky when it comes to laptop choosing. There's a 500 GB laptop with good memory (6 GB) that's a really good price but it runs on CELERON. blah. decisions.

When it comes to iPhone chargers, I prefer quality over price, even though they do get a bit pricey. I bought an iPhone charger for my mom's iPhone from a secondhand store (lol 99 cent store), and it didn't last even two weeks.

I meant when a phone is held it feels much better in the hand. :P

Not all Celerons are made equal. What is the exact Celeron model? If it's a Haswell-based Celeron, it's more than good enough. That's just the thing with Intel CPUs - if it's based on the beefy architecture, you're set.

You might want to make a new thread about it, by the way.

Even better: they won't kill you.

Some cases can feel very tacky, though. I really prefer well-made cases that have a soft feeling, but not rubbery.
