Was busy picking my teeth with my stylus earlier, (Yes I know it's disgusting, so don't ask to borrow my exec!) Anyway it got me to thinking what other usefull uses has everyone else found for their stylus's or is it stylii?
So lets hear it people? :lol:
Regards
Pick my nose and ears.
Lift up forensics evidence like a police officer.
Clean grout.
Drum.
Show kids cheap magic tricks like swallowing it or pulling it out of my ear.
Balance it on my upper lip.
Twirl it like a mini-baton.
Wield it like a mini-sword.
Throw it up against suspended ceiling tiles.
Mistaken it for a pen when trying to write on paper.
While I'm tapping on my head with it, if I come up with more, I'll post it here.
Cleaning fingernails?
Pick teeth
Clean ears
Balance on top lip whilst making Mick Jagger face
Entwine in hair/beard
Use as a mini spear just like in zulu
If only Michael Caine had said "Dont you throw those bloody stylus's at me!"
Play games with it like 'lose the stylus in between the floorboards then take hours to find it' ?
reset my:
Exec
Router
Laptop
mp3 Player
Set the clock on my car
Save channels on my telly
Emergency splint for a broken finger, always worthwhile remembering!
My 7 year old son likes to chew it, like a pencil :-( now it always falls out of my magician. What I do with it? Well I don't chew it, but clean my fingernails & ears, scratch my head, reset my magician, balance it on fingers & others things etc.
You can so much with it, except from normal writing it's the best body extension I can think of (yes I'm very narrow minded) LOL

The Magician's stylus just doesn't quite "cut it". But they're both cute.
Anyone notice the strange bend in the Universal's? Makes me feel quite >self conscious<.

it does do that, doesn't it.. that strange bend, I can stare at it for seconds.. I'm not sure I get it fully..
it also makes me constantly wander if I'm holding it the 'right way'..
Yes, my wife used to say that. Now she just doesn't bother, and I'm

Hahahah! :lol:
So the size of your nose & the shape of your stylus unreveals a girl everything you don't want to tell.
Hmmm, my stylus is worn & chewed.
My wife prefers the one on her Wizard, it grows in size when she gets it out and shrinks back down to a managable size when she has finished with it.
I wonder if the bend on the Universal one is designed in, so it can be used as an aid to erectile disfunction? "shudder" :shock:

There's a lucky man... I must be spending too much time programming, mine is as new
To bring this only slightly back on topic, I do worry about dropping it and scratching the "glans", in case it subsequently scratches the screen. Even with a screen protector, I notice I've still managed to scratch the scrollbar area.

Hello all,
Just wanted to post up a warning about purchasing mirror/protective screen covers for your TP/Fuze/Diamond!
I purchased these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=250365082878
the overall quality of them seems great, they have a protective covering on both sides for the application process (similar to "Screen Guards" brand covers).
but..... upon installation this is the result:

As you can see, it makes the phone almost unusable due to the rainbow effect... what is odd is it doesn't have that effect if I look at the phone from an extreme angle, so if I look at it with the phone laying flat and my eyes right near the hardware keys, it doesn't look rainbowy.... bleh
Just an FYI! has anyone had similar experiences?
Thx

That seems to just be the way those mirror finish screen protectors are. I bought a cut to size proporta echo one for my samsung p2 mp3 player and its like a truck full of carebears exploded on my screen. My buddy also got one for his sprint touch pro, same result.
I don't have a white background screen, it's entirely black. Everything on my phone is black-themed so I don't have the distortion of colors as much. That may solve the problem. Either that, or get another screen protector.
for years now I have been using the Brando Screen protectors.
I've used them on all my pdas, media players and cell phones. The quality and clarity are unbeatable if you ask me.
I just cleaned my old SE W850 which my son now uses. the screen protector has been on the phone for 2 years now and it is still sitting fine! (no corner lift). Sure, the protector is a little scratched after 2 years of service but the phone underneath is as good as new!

Greatest quote ever.
Hahah agreed on the carebears statement, pretty damn funny!
Anywho, I will say this much though, that seller who I bought these from on ebay has been really great as far as customer service is concerned. I emailed him letting him know about this issue and sent these pictures along. He couldn't believe that is what they looked like and was very angry at the factory for providing a product like this. He is sending me 3 clear and 3 anti-glare protectors to make up for this (which I think is very commendable). It would seem that the problem with these is related to the polarization used to cause the mirror effect and then let the light through when the light is on behind the cover.... what is odd is it clears up if I look down the phone holding it flat..... very intesting and annoying!
Just thought I would let everyone know!
I can't wait either.... I feel like I'm tripping on something every time I use my phone as it is now haha!!
Thanks

Not sure exactly what seems to be causing this. As I did have similar mirror screen protectors on my Kaiser and never experienced this.
Perhaps these are simply a bad batch / brand.
I am still running on the stock smooth screen protector (using the tape cleaning method) however, once that peels off I will begin my search for either a mirror, privacy or anti-glare. I haven't found one that I really liked of any so far.
Looks a little like a moiré pattern. See what happens if you put the screen protector on at a 90 degree angle (yes, it will be only partially protected, but this is just a test). If it is less notable, it appears the LCD elements on the screen are lining up with the way the screen protector is cut. Same thing will happen on a digital photo copier. The way the CCD "sees" line art can sometimes do that if the original is a "screen" print (very very small tiny dots as opposed to a solid image). You can "simulate" the effect by taking a good quality pair of sunglasses, and hold it over something like a digital wristwatch with LCD screen, and rotate the sunglasses clock-counter clockwise until the image on the watch disappears.
Not much you can do but get a different brand of screen protector.
Seems to be polarized by the way I see my mirror screen protector. Mine does it too. I have polarized sunglasses and when I turn the phone 90' it goes black (almost, but close enough) so that's why I think it might be polarized.
Also, they scratch to easy for me.
I bought one along with 3 regular screen protectors...honestly the only complaint I have is fingerprints are much more apparent. The rainbow effect is very rare for me...only at a certain angle with enough light...just my 2 cents...

You do know there's a plastic covering ontop of your button right?
i suppose that, but i can´t remove the plastic, but is normal that scratches?
I've seen in some stores some gel or something that you can spread on scratches and they will disappear (I'm not 100% sure as I haven't never bought any)

As krazykat said, the phone ships from the factory with a thin rectangular plastic film that is stuck on top of the home button. This film is simply one of the many protective films/coverings that are on a brand new phone, to protect it during shipping and unboxing. This film is removable - it's conceivable the scratch you're seeing is on that plastic film instead of the button itself. The film is hard to see, but if you look carefully with a bright light shining on it, you will see it. You can remove it by scraping with the edge of a credit card.
Relax your phone is going to get some scratches. It's just a fact of life. I've had mine in a gel case and screen protector since day one, unfortunately that didn't protect the camera lens (only exposed area besides home button) from a small scratch .
Also if the smal piece of plastic is still on eventually it'll lift up on its own and you'll be able to take it off.
Thank you, DreadPirateDan i think you are right , so if i remove the plastic from the home button the home bottom can get some scratches? the home button is made of the same material as the screen, gorilla glass? someone has the home bottom with scratches with out the plastic?
Because my home bottom look really bad, you can feel the scratches with your nails.
I get pretty excited with all the hype of gorilla glass being scratch proof but let me tell you it certainly is not scratch proof. Slighty more resistant at best says I.
My last phone would fall face first onto pebbles and come out un scratched, yet being inside my pocket with lethal for the screen. Who would have thought soft cotton would be gorilla glass' Achillies heel? lol.
So best advice from me is to just leave the plastic there as long as it's willing to stay/as long as you can tolerate it's ugliness. Then when you've had enough you'll peel back to a crisp fresh menu button
The screen is resistant to falls but not scratches. Therefore, it is recommended to put a protective plastic on the screen ASAP! As always the enemy of all screens is the dust, keys and any sharp object.
About, the HOME button, it is normal to be scratch fast because it's plastic, what I did was cut a plastic/tranparent sticker covering inside the edges of the home button and no scratches inside of it!
That's why ya go with white versions. Surface scratches and finger prints don't show nearly as bad.

If it bugs you, just buy the button on ebay.
I bought one for like 5 bucks after shipping and have no use for it LOL
I was wondering if the button had a really dark chrome or if it was just my phone (I thought the chrome was supposed to be like a polished bright chrome like in pics) and after receiving this button and seeing my friend's S2, my phone is normal lol
Still can't believe what happened to my Z5!
I accidentally dropped my phone a minute ago from the 4th floor and it felt straight to the concrete. I thought my phone would have been dead and totally destroyed due to this massive drop.
When i picked it up the screen was entirely cracked with a big impact in the bottom left corner but surprisly it just smashed my 0.3mm tampered glass screen protection!
It bend as well the phone in the middle by the power button without damaging the back and front panel!
And I only had a slim rubber case to protect it!
I guess i've been very lucky but still i can say this phone is really solid and well made. :thumbup:
I linked some photos of my tempered glass protection and case. (I can't take pics from the phone but i can see that the metal on the edge by the power button is still a little twisted so i guess my phone isn't watterproof any more..)

And the case:

Haha - that TPU case is great !
7 € and totally worth it
I got a similar combination but from spigen and at a much higher price
Hm, didn't know that the glas protector costs almost only a third in France and UK compared to German Amazon
@PELLET Nolwenn
but wheres the picture of the phone ?
i want to throw mine too ! err drop, umm , err smash actually... xD
I have the same bumper and screen protector.
m
Can't take any because i've no other camera..
But onestly my phone was properly bent in the middle! Very scary!
I've seen a video few weeks ago from someone doing the bend test on it and it did finished exactly as mine and without any big damage. Just the metal frame which doesn't fit perfectly where the power button is.
Here is the video (it's a Z5 premium actually but it doesn't really change compare to mine^^)
https://youtu.be/gVPa8sNY1Xw
Quite impressed by the screen and the back panel strength, they bend but don't break.
But the metal frame seems very fragile don't you think?

I saw that too. It was out of stock (Bang Good) by the time I went back and decided on a case though, so I've just got the plain one for now. Let me know what you think. It should protect okay, if my physics is correct. Some scratches on the metal though.

Hi @TazSung,
I dont expect the perfect protection if you use the official Z Case. But, it definitely looks very good and most of the drops on corners should be safe! I already bought mine :highfive:
I´m to lazy to write atm. So here´s just a preview-video with all accessories and benchmark-test which are incredibly insane. :cyclops: My grey one is on its way, beside the Nubia Z11.
UMI Z Unboxing
I have the flip cover case. But it's neither Black nor dark blue as shown on the pictures on the original homepage (http://www.umidigi.com/page-umi_z_flip_cover.html). It's a light blue. Similar to Jeans.
The cover fits well but when it's closed the the front cover can be moved too easily. When this happens the magnet which normally locks the phone is moved away from the sensor and the display gets on. This can happen when you have your phone in the pocket. So most of the battery is used for display and it last not a whole day. This annoys me a little bit. If it's closed you can see a round watch (analog or digital). On the umidigi homepage you can read that the dial plates will be customizable. But it's not possible yet. At least I haven't found an option.
When you flip the cover it's a little bit difficult to hold the phone in your hand as the phone will be locked when the magnet is directly in position. So the cover has to be a little bit more left or right which makes it uncomfortable to hold.
Maybe I will switch to the clear case.
By the way I bought it on AlibabaExpress.
I am rather disapointed with the Black Smart View Window Flip Cover.
If you flip back the front, while holding your phone.. the magnet will trigger the phone to lock itself.
Worth noting iPhone 7 plus cases can fit with small adaptations for headphone and volume buttons ..at least offers more choice
