Ok, so I am using the original sleeve that came with the phone, which protect it well enough to my mind.
Some stuff were pissing me off though, like having to take the phone out of it to check for new notifications, or the fact that the sound (notifications/ringtones) was attenuated a lot by it. So much in fact that even at max volume, I missed a couple of calls.
So I did cut a round area where the trackball is located, which allows me to see if I have new notifications without getting the phone out of it.
I also cut it where the speaker output is located. Now I can finally hear my phone ringing, in its sleeve, in my pocket.
Did cut it with normal scissors and burned the edges (to avoid the holes to grow) with a lighter.
It is a dumb trick, but improved a lot my overall experience, so I just wanted to share it here
I ll try to post pics later on, as I am at work right now and cannot do it.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the trackball hole in the sleeve...haha I can picture it.
I'm sure Apple has already patented that and now it's only a matter of time before they sue you
Yes! Definitely put up some pics of your ghetto-fabulous new sleeve!

Supposedly, he dropped it at the bar and some chick stepped on it in her high heels. You can kind of see where the heel made contact to the left side. If it wasn't MY phone, I'd almost admire how cool and almost perfect looking the cracked screen is.

Swift key has been suggesting funny stuff to me too. I was placing an office supply order today and typed box of and got chocolates when I wanted pens, and then bottle of got me vodka, which probably would have been more helpful than the white out I was looking for.
Nothing as crazy as your example though.

The phone bases its suggestions on letters that are close to the word typed. Look at that anal is pretty much the same keys just off by one letter for A and L. Not be an as$ just informing you. The system is actually pretty smart working like this.
I really needed a laugh....thanks!

This thread is full of win! I had something similar happen a couple of weeks ago with Google Voice. I was supposed to be picking my sister up from her meeting. She got out early and called me to make sure I was on my way. Here is what GV thought she said:
Hey this is Mrs. Give me a call back. I am died. Come pick me up.

I thought it remembers what you typed before, so if you are typing similar keys then it will suggest that. Not that I'm trying to imply anything...

What other features?
Never live in the past but always learn from it.
Their whole point to introduce this device as a security featured phone that can be adopted in the corporate world. Hardware encryption, the use of Webex for secure meetings, Kies security for remote management.
Well face unlock is a really bad feature since it usually works with pictures too... If they fixed that, it is a great feature.
wow, thats crappy.... We will have to wait and see how it functions.
i'll say they should replace it with a Eye Retina Scan
put your eye right next to the back camera
flash
recognition scan

I've just knocked my XZ off my sofa whilst on charge and it hit a tile from my fire place! Checked the phone thoroughly and was just about to go get a beer to celebrate when I noticed a small little crack on the side under the volume button :'(
Its not really noticeable tbh but I know it's there! I might get three to exchange it now and say somethings wrong with it as it will bug me like hell!
Dam this is first time I have been clumsy with a phone!

That's what you get for not using a case.
Tell them you only just unboxed it & it's cracked.

I take mine out at home. Solely to keep it clean outside I put it in a case, not to mention protection. Also, if you have it in a case it's harder for potential thieves to spot expensive phones from worthless ones. A big thin slab looks expensive.

1. I tend to keep myself out of mud and dirty places.
2. I don't live in an area with a lot of crime or poor people.
But we are having a stupid discussion here. Some people like to have some extra protection and some people don't. It's easy as that.

I live in London and going through parts with poor people in them is a given. :crying:
It's not mud, it's some jackass spilling his drink and you putting your phone in the place an hour later.

Ahhh, okay i can imagine it may help masking your phone a little so it won't have a "please steal me, Sir!" tag on it And i've also had the occasional "this looks like a clean spot.... aaaaaand it's not", but i like living on the edge, one bar at a time :silly:
