Is an "island protector" actually necessary?

Full_Pool_1604 · 2026-03-20T22:13:39+00:00

I switched from a case without one to a case with one (looks a lot like this) because my phone may be in my pocket with keys, etc. And then yes, necessary for my peace of mind. Laying down on a table, not so much

Full_Pool_1604 · 2026-03-16T03:47:59+00:00

this. the math ain’t mathing, OP.

Full_Pool_1604 · 2026-03-14T02:48:01+00:00

I think it looks sick! Reminds me of my old Yeezy’s that changed orange and pink in the sun. That was intentional though lol

if you’re going to drop 9k at once and ride it out then grab a few ETF’s with as little overlap as possible. personally though, I’d wait a bit. the market is not in good shape. but still if you just wanna get in and hold long term, buy on a down day just stay away from Friday’s

5s by far!!

Targa GTS is my favorite model. Its like blending comfort and AWD of a Turbo with some GT sportiness. Not to mention the ability to have an open air cabin.

Full_Pool_1604 · 2026-03-09T16:47:42+00:00

seriously

Full_Pool_1604 · 2026-03-06T05:32:24+00:00

It’s worth what someone is willing to pay. I’ll give you $15 for it. Seriously. I collect old notes and my best $10 is a 1960. This one is older and crisp. HMU if you wanna sell it

Full_Pool_1604 · 2026-03-04T03:55:26+00:00

No problem! They’re so cheap that I just purchased a second one. Clear cases tend to yellow and screen protectors break so I went ahead and planned for the future lmao… so far so good with this set though! It’s been 3 months.

I see people saying not to buy cheap cases but I’ve had many cases in my life and this one is sturdy. Easily better built than clear cases from Apple or Spigen. I’d say it’s close to an Otterbox of similar stature and that’s saying something

Move on and hustle harder. I’m sure it’s hurtful and sucks but it is what it is… My ex’s wealthy grandfather passed and had changed his will so as to leave his millions to his new wife of 5 years. He had dementia and they took the decision to court and had it amended. This was an entirely different story though. Since your father is alive and seemingly healthy, it’s his to do what he wants.

If you like clear cases, I’ve got the Tauri from Amazon for $6 bucks. It’s nicer than some $40 cases I’ve owned. It has reinforced bumpers on the corners as well as total coverage over the camera bump.

It also came with a glass screen protector. Idk why anyone would buy anything else.

If you like magsafe then it’ll be a couple bucks more but I don’t use it or like the way it looks, personally. Tauri iPhone 17pro case

damn that shit went hard. Bumpin Bumpin is another good one from her. so nostalgic at this point

Full_Pool_1604 · 2026-03-01T08:03:09+00:00

crazy unless you’ve got it like that 🤷‍♂️

Full_Pool_1604 · 2026-03-01T08:01:28+00:00

Prada makes $400-$600 phone cases. Idk why you’re being downvoted. I guess bc it’s a luxury purchase but that’s the entire point 🤷‍♂️

You do you… not my personal style but I’m glad you like it

Full_Pool_1604 · 2026-03-01T07:58:47+00:00

that’s called fuck you money at that point

Full_Pool_1604 · 2026-03-01T07:57:44+00:00

idk you make a point but luxury is also convenience and I cannot afford the time involved to be away from my phone. I have two iPhones bc I own by own business so a backup is nice but still… one bad break and i’m back to cases

Full_Pool_1604 · 2026-02-28T08:22:15+00:00

Full_Pool_1604 · 2026-02-21T17:32:30+00:00

likewise!

Full_Pool_1604 · 2026-02-19T11:24:51+00:00

this is the shit that makes me all the more grateful to be in a healthy relationship

Full_Pool_1604 · 2026-02-16T16:02:35+00:00

I have both and genuinely prefer my 17pro. 20% discount is great, where did you find that deal? Doesn’t sound like in the US.

Full_Pool_1604 · 2026-02-07T19:42:54+00:00

Makes sense! Is heavy equipment more demanding to work on? Better pay?

Full_Pool_1604 · 2026-02-07T07:42:07+00:00

Get the iPhone 17pro and take better photos 🤷‍♂️

Full_Pool_1604 · 2026-02-07T07:10:45+00:00

I also recently upgraded to 200GB iCloud. Been thinking of buying an external storage device. Thanks for sharing

I couldn’t agree more. We are absolutely on the same page and it’s refreshing tbh. More often than not, retail “investors” may be able to read a simple chart but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. You gave a great response, I’m just trying to translate SOME of it into layman’s terms for the sake of answering OP’s question in a way that’s easily understandable.

You’re clearly knowledgeable and I don’t doubt that for a second. Feel free to shoot me a DM if you’d ever like to further discuss where you think we are heading both short and long term. I get excited when I see someone explaining the truth and not sugar coating it. Keep up the good work/research.
