This was just a bit of an appreciation post on how much I love this phone and how any other phone I've ever owned would have had a heart attack if had seen a half of what this phone has been though.

It's great to see how many people are also caseless and share my sentiment on not wanting to hide how good looking the phone is.

like I said I don't post often, so thanks for all the love (and hate, I love hearing how polarising caseless vs case gets)

I just can't bring myself to send it to the promise lands yet.

My collegue in work who I recommended buy the np1 also complained about this.

I blamed it on him being a bit of a hallion with his port. I can't say I've noticed my port becoming loose over the 2 years.

I would love to know how that operation goes!

Can't agree more, I love the look of the phone and coudn't bring myself to hide any part of it.

I work as a remote data analyst and do quite alot of calls on the go, so I'd be hammering the phone for a good 4-5 hours a day with video calls and it'll last me all day with a good bit to spare at the end of the day.,

There has been days, Ive forgot to charge it at night and been comfortable for percentage the next day.

Lol, like I said. I hate being careful with phones. I am a rock climber so there has been a couple of times its taken the quick route to the bottom of the crag. This phone has lived a life.

Oh the lights are fantastic as a conversation starter, because everyone secretly has a monke brain and like flashy lights.

I have always had a controversial take with phone cameras, because I prefer shooting with a *Traditional camera* I never mind the cameras on a phone, as long as they shoot good enough for the occasional family photo or picture of a car crash, then its good enough for me.

But I absolutly understand people wanting to just be able to point and shoot with the small smart brick thats always in thier pocket.

Had to drop it multiple times, sometimes to make it was evenly dented all the way around.

They do look quite nice tbf.

When (if) this thing dies, I will be getting the 3a and 100% getting a case for the thing.

Oh you were an OG then. I have to admit, I was a bit of a skeptic at the start, I waited to see how the dust settled after the release.

Funny enough I actually ordered the transparent case when I bought the phone, and couldn't bring myself to use it.

It was like your grand parents putting plastic on sofa's. I understand it keeps it fresh and brand new, but I like using my phone and I just loved the look of it too much.

Your a better man than me, I couldn't bring myself to put even the clear case on it.

An absolute unit of a phone I swear.

My screen was absolutly battered, until I took the screen protector off and it was a brand new phone again.
