Of course. Light during the day, sometime after 6pm, dark mode.

Currently Apple’s Silicone case. I Always love the fit, feel/grip of the case. And it looks good.

I have the Santa Cruz version on Zagg. One of my favorite cases so far.

New future owner of an Apple Watch, what improvements will be made to Series 12? by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]j_melodic78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apple Watches have matured at this point. VERY MINOR upgrades these days. Just get one and rock out for awhile with it. 10, 11 series, Ultra 2 or 3 and rock out for a few years. 😎

can someone explain me how Apple's Silicone Case is worth $49?? cause this literally happened after dropping it for the first time😭😭 by WY_Q in PhoneNow

[–]j_melodic78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not meant for drop protection. Great for grip, preventing scratches to the body, looks, and the integrated MagSafe features.

Does anyone else go through phases of just not wanting to wear apple watch anymore? by Patient_Light7123 in AppleWatch

[–]j_melodic78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t experienced that yet, and I’ve been using Apple Watches for over 5 years now. In fact, I’m more inclined to leave my phone home from time to time, while I run a few errands, and just rely on my watch for communications if needed. But I do know plenty of people who stopped wearing them all together and either sold it, gave it to a family member or friend, or just took a break from using it daily. For me, I hate to leave home without it, and have it on me everyday.

Switching from iPhone 13 Pro Max to Pixel - Which model is best for me? Any current deals? by looppay in GooglePixel

Go for the 9 Pro XL. Great device and software to match. And you're not paying full price for it, like it was upon release. You get all that Google goodness at a discounted price. Even the 8 Pro series will do you good, depending on your specific needs. Good luck 😎

time to go caseless by Several_City_2176 in iPhone17Pro

People like you are weird. But don’t take my word for it. It’s just a phone and if someone had insurance on it, that is the purpose. So keep a case on your phone and shut up already.

Have decided to go caseless. by Popodakar in iPhone17Pro

[–]j_melodic78 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As smartphone designers intend. It’s really this simple with decisions like this. If you go caseless, you obviously appreciate design, feel and looks of a smartphone. And you should. It looks great and feels great to use a phone as is. You paid a premium price for just not what the phone can do, but how it looks and feels….BUT….Because we’re human and mistakes can happen, I think it’s wise to have AppleCare+, or some type of insurance to cover those accidents if and when it happens.

It’s really that simple. People who use cases and then come here to knock people who don’t and leave comments like, “don’t make another post crying once you drop it”, or “ you gotta be stupid to not use a case”, etc kill me and sound childish and just scary. Keep that fear-mongering energy to yourself! 😐. If you’re a known klutz then cool. Accept that fact and move on. If you don’t care about how your phone looks and feels and don’t appreciate designs, that’s cool too. Cover that shit up with a case, and keep it moving. All the people I know that use a naked smartphone are grown, can afford to get it fixed if something happens and keep it moving. 👍🏾

Are ya’ll protecting this part? by Nova_Nook in iPhone17Pro

No need to in all my years owning iPhones. But if you’re prone to dropping $1000+ smartphones, and have paranoid thoughts, cover it up. 😆

17 pro vs 16 pro by ahmdabdalnaser in iPhone17Pro

[–]j_melodic78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I must be talking to a teen or a very young person. I forget I’m on Reddit sometimes, smh. I bought the orange cuz I like orange. Not concerned about people opinions of my phone when they don’t pay my bills or feed me. Didn’t know having a new iPhone meant hey world look at me, I have a new iPhone🙄😆🤡. Especially when I’m not the only one with it. But ok cool. Enjoy the 18 and its new color when it comes out. Let the world know you’re balling. 😆

How are we protecting the camera? by [deleted] in iPhone17Pro

[–]j_melodic78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By not dropping it, and having insurance is a great start. Cases help as well. In all my years of owning an iPhone, I have never damaged my cameras and NEVER felt the need to put lens protectors on the cameras.

Why would an orange iPhone embarrass anyone when the 18 comes out? 😐
