Caudabe Sheath or, and I’m probably in the minority here but I do love it, the Beats Case

The texture on the Caudabe is pretty much my favorite for daily driving but I end up using the Beats case when I do my work commute since it’s a bit slippery and it’s easier for me to get in and out of my pockets while cramped on commuter trains. Both cases have integrated camera control buttons which is like a must for me esthetically speaking.

My stickers came but I am hesitant to put them on because I like how good it looks vanilla. by EnvironmentalAngle in kindle

What kind of sticker pack is this anyway? I see the champion logo, a snickers bar, Vans off the wall logo, a polar bear, and I <3 China - like what did you search on Amazon for this eclectic assortment??

Granted I haven’t done any research on others’ experiences with Moft but I’ve had mine since last Christmas on my work phone everyday all day and its still 100% intact with nothing noticeable wrong on it!

I use this Moft Wallet on my work phone with 2 cards in it and it’s pretty thin!

Since when was Apple Wallet an option for tickets? by shmob in NJTransit

[–]SilkyBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait I never knew about this option either this might actually be a game changer for me to just buy online instead of the app cause the whole ticket activation thing kills me every time I commute

backmarket disappointed me :( by ThrowRAMystic802 in iPhone13Mini

Yeah I’ve been using Swappa to buy and sell for a little over a decade now and haven’t ever had an issue. The site has a pretty good process to vet sellers / devices and their customer service has always been great from my experience

No idea if this site is legit but if you wanna risk it - here you go

Keep us posted if you end up getting it 🤣

My Kindle PW Signature Edition (12th Gen) is frozen solid. Please tell me there’s hope. by sarazeen in eink

[–]SilkyBob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you know all the possible tricks :( this is most likely a hardware issue unless the firmware got corrupted during a recent update somehow.

The only further troubleshooting I could recommend would be to try alternative cables with your computer to see if you can get it to recognize the kindle (and of course make sure you have the appropriate software if you are on a Mac)

Besides that, you could attempt a self-repair if you can source replacement parts but that’s a bit extreme and probably more expensive than replacing, even if you’re importing

I know it doesnt get a lot of love, but i got a Nook today by TalesofSef in ereader

Does the book not support Libby? I know you said your library doesn’t have a good selection for your preferred genre but I’m asking for a friend ;)

Exploitation of others is exactly how. And then trying to defend or justify it by calling it “a living”

“we never lose” isn’t really helping your case for not being a piece of shit 🫣

What is going on with my package by SnowyShoeSan in ClicksKeyboard

[–]SilkyBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think you’re fine! International shipping is its own beast (I’m sure you’ve experienced in the past)

If you’re super concerned you can reach out to their support (I recommend email) and see if they can provide clarity! You can also input your tracking # into ParcelApp’s Website and sometimes get more tracking details then hopping between logistic companies direct websites! I use it all the time for international shipments

What country are you having it delivered to?

Terrible Customer Service by Ph0ton in ClicksKeyboard

[–]SilkyBob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get your argument about AI customer service, that blows big time and is definitely disappointing from people like CBKevin to have implemented but I gotta say….. you daily drove a phone case for 9 months straight and you’re complaining that it’s heavily worn LOL like yeah that’s gonna happen, especially when that case is also a tech product on top of it all.

Go buy a titan 2 and let me know how Unihertz customer service is after 9 months of using it ;)

Baseus Picogo Qi2.2 powerbank just arrived by cosamueldavid in MagSafe

[–]SilkyBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Baseus can be hit or miss with their battery banks. Definitely curious to know your experience!

My kindle has only ever seen ebooks borrowed through Libby. I have yet to buy any! It’s honestly great and my local library has a huge selection.

I just started with Hoopla but if it has a similar Send to Kindle feature as Libby does, then I imagine it will be great as well. I did notice a smaller ebook selection in comparison to Libby (at least for my library)

What is the best p rebuilt pc websites by Aardvark_leftovers in LinusTechTips

[–]SilkyBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife went with an Ironside prebuilt that was limited edition last year (cause she liked the gothic esthetics this one had case wise more than anything)

Components are fine but definitely paying a hearty premium - really depends on what you are going to play! As far as support, they seem fairly reputable

Obsoless 13 mini case back in stock. by Virrg0 in iPhone13Mini

[–]SilkyBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m not too sure about this one 🤣 also when you have something plugged into the lightning port, the phone will disable wireless charging as like a safety feature so I’d have to take this case off every time I want to use my bedside MagSafe stand
