I like that I can take a screenshot now too. That was something my old phone could not do

My Spigen Glas tR slim screen protector and 32G microSD card arrived today.

The glass screen cover is super slippery, crystal clear and fits perfectly.

Those military grade zag covers are good, but they always have a bit of a visible ripple to them. This is like bit having one, but having one.

Ok, update.

I duckling love this phone.

Get one.

Also, I dropped it last night, and cracked the screen cover. Just a little in the one corner, but, now it looks like a phone with a cracked screen. .. only its not. I ordered another spigen glas tr and will be replacing this one. I think my screen would have cracked if it had not been there, so. .. well worth the $34.

This is my current favorite app. Mounted on a Ram X Grip cell phone Mount on the left handle bar, I now have an accurate speedo in my glance distance instead of having to look down at the gas tank.

The xgrip has 4 little rubber grippers that keep your phone in reach.

The Ulysses speedometer app also has a program launcher that let's me start Pandora or Waze or maps or whatever app I set up ahead of time in 2 clicks.

Also, multiple trip meters that store history, Max speed records, and alarms if I go over x mph. The dial turns red at 66mph, for example. .. and you can set those speeds.

One of the few apps I've paid for. $1.99 and also well worth it.

Plus, I now have removed that ugly wristwatch from my mirror because my phone shows me what time it is.

I dropped my phone and cracked the screen Saturday night.

$175 deductible. Asurion sent me a new phone. I turn it on, swap the sim and sd cards, and it starts loading all the apps I had on my old one. Pretty slick.

Are you still loving your Galaxy 4, Jim? I read that the internal LCD cracks with just slight movements and that it over heats. Do you have any of these problems?

OK, I'm due... Son says get the I-Phone. Daughter says get a Samsung.

I don't know which I-Phone to even consider.

I dislike the HUGENESS of the Galaxy.

Go...
