You have to wonder if he's heating the phone up to epic proportions ahead of time to weaken the structural integrity, thereby making it easier to bend for his videos.

Even if he is who cares. I don't ever heat my phone and then bend it. I don't ever sit on my phone or put it in any weird positions so I doubt I'm going to have issues with mine bending. And if I do Apple will replace it for me or I'll pay for my replacement using Applecare. Problem solved for me. No need to stress over it how most people have.

Yeah..It has a nice feel in the hand for sure..but one drop on the pavement and you'll wish it felt like a phone with a plastic case around it before it was dropped.

Yeah I know. I hardly drop my phone at all and with me being limited in the amount of hands I have to use now it makes it easier to change volumes and what not than with a case on it.

If I do drop it I'll just have a buddy add TEP back on for me.

Space grey. The white front was indeed classy but the antenna lines on the back ruined it for me. I normally have a case on but I haven't over the last couple days. Really been liking how the phone feels without it.

The 6. Have to reboot to fix it.

Still confused as to which issue you're having with your device....?

Still have the bug where it won't change from portrait to landscape mode.

Which iPhone do you have? IIRC the 6 doesn't rotate horizontally on the home screen if that's what you are referring to.

Does anyone have both versions of the neo hybrid to compare size wise? I like the metal but wonder if the other version works be thinner..?

Having only one hand to use my phone makes the phone feel way bigger than it actually is.

So... my wife just called me. She already shattered her screen.

 

But the display and touch still works.. She has since text me a couple times from her phone.

was she trying to bend her phone? Lol. Had to. But really. How did she manage that?

My dad always puts his in his back pocket and sits on it. I never understood why anyone would want to do this. I have back issues so sitting on something like my iPhone wouldn't ever happen.

As far as it bending... Put the phone in a case! Problem solved. I like the phone better with a case on it anyways. It's just a little too slick without it.

Ouch. Sorrry to here that, but glad you walked away from it. Perhaps you should tell your story to the Spigen amazon account review page, or talk to them on live chat. Tell them how amazing their case did and say it saved the phone. They might even send you one for free! Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Great minds must think alike. I'm considering which route will actually make it to spigen and not someone's junk mailbox. I'm not looking for a handout, I just want them to know how good their case is. Saved me at least a few hundred bucks in a matter of a few seconds.

Have you noticed any reception issues? And what color did you get. I may return mine and get the metal one if it hasn't impacted the reception...

 

and wow! I hope you're okay. And the bike. Glad the phone didn't get destroyed too.

I didn't notice any reception issues. I only had it on for a day though. The silent switch cut out is too narrow to flip it with ease so I took the case off.

Broke my scaphoid bone in my right wrist which has a big effect on my nerves and blood flow. I'm just glad I walked away from it all.

My bike should be okay. The bike mine slid into. Not so much.[emoji17]

My spigen neo hybrid metal saved my phone in a motorcycle accident I was in yesterday. The band is rashed up with some of the rubber worn down as well. If it can survive me sliding on it at 20-25 mph I'm sure it will hold up to pretty much anything.

Every had to crop a picture? At 8MP, you have very little latitude in cropping until quality is severely compromised.

take a better picture and don't rely on the edit to save it?

But in all seriousness I remember reading something saying most screens don't display any higher than 2mp anyways. The megapixel game on a phone is kind of stupid to me. If it looks good on the phone I'm pleased since I never have them printed anyways.

You don't need huge megapixels unless you're printing full size posters to hang on your wall. I took plenty of pictures at a car show yesterday on my 6 and I had 0 issues with the quality of the outcome of them.

Can we fully unlock with Sprint? I tried calling to unlock my iPhone5 for better resale value, but the CS wouldn't' give me the unlock code because I am still 'under contract' until Oct 25.

 

always wondered how that works

off contract, Phone on the line for 90 days and the bill has to be current. Even then I don't think it will fully unlock. Just internationally.

I just had my phone stop responding for a minute or so earlier. Hopefully this doesn't become more common. This is my only phone and I can't be without for too long.

Anyone used the camera and gotten a text message while doing so? Kinda funny that it vibrates so much that screen gets waves in it for a second.

The other one is the swift keyboard I installed doesn't always come up. The phone defaults back to the original.

Delete the English keyboard in your settings. It will leave you with just swiftkey and emoji if you have them enabled.

 

I'm curious what cases everyone is using to protect their iPhones? I picked up a Spigen Slim Armor case and it's not working with my iHome dock -- the bottom of the case is just a few mm too thick to get the Lightning connector to engage/charge.

I ordered the neo hybrid metal before I even ordered my phone. It still hasn't shown up for some reason but I don't know if I'm even going to use it. I have a feeling the apple logo cutout is going to feel too weird since my fingers rest right in that area when I hold the phone with two hands.

The incipio dualpro I'm using now is really nice. It's thin and all the buttons still click really nicely. Black phone with a black case always looks awesome too.

Well that sucks. It would be nice to have a screen on time in the usage for the phone.

Yep. Definitely impressed with this phone.

I noticed I was on B25 a lot more at work today. Normally I drop to B26 but I stayed on B25 for the majority of the day until around rush hour when traffic picked up.

Loving the battery life on this thing. My 5s would normally be dead. Granted I got that phone second hand so I don't know how it was used before me but still. This is absolutely nuts to me.

Speeds have stayed around the same for me where I use my phone the most. I didn't watch it on the drive in this morning too closely but I saw lte whenever I picked up my phone to change the song playing.

That's awesome. I'm fairly close a tower so when it finally gets B41 I hope I get good speeds like that out of it.

got my 6+ a couple of hours ago, currently trying to kill the battery so I can charge it up to 100% overnight. proving to be harder than expected.

I haven't left the house with it, so I haven't experienced b41 yet..hopefully that'll happen tomorrow.

On another note, I have to say, the slow motion is honestly great. Wow.

i killed my 6 pretty quickly. Texting and downloading 1000 songs back onto my phone through wifi did a pretty good job of taking me from 63% to 1% before I plugged in.
