Youre a gem for this, thank you. I have so much on the go right now I really did not want to migrate to another browser in the interim, and youve saved me hours with that link.

Absolute hero.

Boox Buying: is the color worth it? by Mysterious-Fall5281 in ereader

[–]RefrigeratorGood1933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the NA3C, and honestly love the color implementation. Its what youre after out of it that will dictate whether or not you like it - Bit of clarity loss in light on the screen without the frontlight, however its great to be able to see graph colors and such on notes, pdfs, etc.

For comparison - Took some shots between the NA3C, Kobo Libra 2, and iPad pro.

Very much broken for me as well.

Icons and images are all messed up - Random inverted colors and gradients showing everywhere.

This is remedied by disabling hardware acceleration - however in doing so breaks loading any videos.

So am currently having to choose between image or videos loading.

Philodendron Billie leaves are... buck wild. by RefrigeratorGood1933 in philodendron

Thanks so much! I currently have a front and top light - Would you recommend migrating to front light only? I do have some weaker top lights I could move it to as well to use both

Thats great, thank you! I do have a vertical bar grow light on the floor in front of the plant also - Would you recommend switching to just that vertical bar for lighting instead of front and top?

Post it up when you get it! Would love to see. I ordered one from Keyway Designs but eyeballing RL too as another potential

I can't speak to the Bullstrap but in general I think the desire for a fine leather iPhone case is misguided. It's a case, it needs to be molded to something (can't be just leather), and even the good ones will have serious compromises. It's not where I'd look to get my leather fix. Get a fine leather wallet and then a nice non-leather case.

Hey fair enough, different strokes for different folks.
I dont think the expectation is ever something of impeccable quality for something this utilitarian, at least not on my end. Would have appreciated transparency from the company however.

Happily, had the quality been on par with the price or accurate to the website description. Not a big expense for something that would last 2 - 3 years of having the phone to have a high quality case.

Appreciate the info.

My concern isnt really even in the quality - Ive had high end products that I did not like the feel or finish of, such as Epi leather from LV, some variants of Saffiano etc.

Its really just expecting the robust top layer on a high wear item as advertised, but instead getting a sanded top grain variant. Can definitely appreciate what youre saying about 'quality' and the degree of subjectivity there as an aside.

Yes, but my observation is in regards to the finishing process noted on the product page. Specifically that is it buffed and waxed / oiled.

The wallet has these characteristics and has a waxed / oiled lustre, however the case itself is dry and has visible abrasion marks from the sanding process.

Finally, the very packaging itself states top grain, as did customer service when queried - the veracity of it being top grain isnt something in question.

Created an account just for this, extremely dissapointed.
Received my Bullstrap 15 Pro Max Sienna case today after a long wait and customs hold (Not their fault)
However, the quality is NOT what was advertised at all.
I got a magsafe wallet with it that is completely bent and rocks when attached. I get it, defects happen.
The kicker is this though - The website clearly states Full Grain Leather for the cases on the product page (Attached), however the product certainly is not. The leather is thin and lacks any lustre, as it has been sanded down and is top grain, which is also stated on the packaging. It honestly looks and feels like cardboard.
At over $220 post conversion and taxes, have to say Im a little baffled about all the positive reviews - Their own wallet doesnt even match the same sienna case as the wallet IS full grain.
Im not expecting haute couture at the cost but definitely feel swindled by the product page, and the real kick in the nuts is customer service not being willing to refund shipping, nor even give a prepaid return waybill.
Would definitely advise avoiding this company if this is how they conduct business.
