  • I was forced to buy a new phone because the 3G network is ending, and obviously I don't want to leave it too late to update.

    Of course, having bought a new phone I was forced to buy a new cover, in order to protect said phone. Buying the case I wanted on Amazon was $25, so I was forced to buy it on Temu which has it for just over $6. Which meant I was forced to buy a whole bunch of stickers to get to the $20 minimum spend. It's been a tough day being forced to buy all these things, but there were obviously no other options. None, I tell you, None.

    • I'm sitting here super impressed that you've had your phone so long that it was only 3G. That's got to be 10+ years old?

      Best I've ever managed was about 5 years.

    • I've been using my iphone SE with no case. Just the screen sticker.

      • Heathen! I did actually consider that option, although if it's anything like my current phone I'll need a case just to provide grip - it's so glossy it's hard to hold on to.

        The big selling features of the case I'm getting are a sliding cover for the cameras (I think we're up to about 28 cameras per phone now) and a stand so I can prop it up in either direction. Plus it will provide essential redness, which is of course also very important.

        • I had a case but it disintegrated just one year in and I don't bother to get another. A stand is an essential feature indeed.
