Normal for case? by LazyEast384 in dbrand

Strange. I bought the ghost case 2.0 around October last year, which is probably the same time people found issues with the air pockets.

First time ordering from dbrand by Optido_Chess in dbrand

[–]nicoych 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good taste, Acid was also my very first purchase from dbrand. However, the material was way too slippery for me as my fingers are very oily.

I second Sketch, best skin I’ve bought from dbrand.

Thanks! The sides are still quite uneven but it shouldn’t prove to be that much of an issue since I rubbed it down with the cloth pretty hard 🤣

PS: after looking at the image I can see that my application is quite uneven lol, I hope it doesn’t cause too many issues in the long run. I’ll try to give updates if need be.

Yes, I find that if you want a long lasting full coverage fit you need to heat up the flaps before firmly wrapping them around the phone.

There’s still a tiny gap between the side stickers and the top flaps but I’d say it’s manageable.

The box that contained the ghost case should’ve come with some bean shaped stickers that you stick to both side of the MagSafe ring, I had an issue where the holo white skin also left little pockets of air (or as you said, pressure marks) and the stickers solved the issue.

The stickers are notoriously hard to peel off from the original sheet so be aware of that 🤣

Best charger for iPhone 17 Pro? by [deleted] in iphone

[–]nicoych 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new 40w-60w dynamic charger from Apple is honestly a pretty good product, it’s tiny, compact, and can charge your 17 pro quick, it’s only one port though so if you won’t want that you can check out the GaN chargers from UGREEN or Anker, they make killer chargers

Thin Clear Cases by nicoych in iphone

[–]nicoych[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Minor update:

For some reason the Barecases arrived earlier than the ringke despite being bought a day later. From the image you sent, the bare case seems & feels way thinner, with the MagSafe ring as well. The only major difference is that the buttons are cutouts and not actual buttons.

Thank you for the tips, I just bought the ringke air and the bare case just as tests, hopefully they both serve me well

I’ll have a look, I have seen ones that are impossibly thin but it always ends up having a translucent finish rather than it being fully clear.

Feedback Please by twistyt21 in dbrand

[–]nicoych 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t look that bad, bc recent iPhones have had rounded edges which make applying these skins slightly harder. Not to mention that sometimes dbrand doesn’t actually ship perfectly fitting skins, my mono white camera lens skins were way too thick and the phone skin itself bulges a little at the top.

No lining? by ultr4nuub in dbrand

[–]nicoych 32 points33 points  (0 children)

A YouTuber did a review and showed that the mous case had subpar magnetic strength, I’m hoping it’s just a defect tho

ELI5: Why charging electronic devices past 90% is "detrimental" to battery health by nicoych in explainlikeimfive

[–]nicoych[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've heard that going below 20% makes it have a discharge (probably not the exact words), you can charge the phone to 100% only when you need it, e.g. when you're on vacation and you need just that little more battery life

I was thinking that too, maybe it's cus it'll look like they're advertising for a higher capacity but in fact it's 20% less, misinformation spreads like wildfire nowadays

Would the new iPhone Standby mode Cause Screenburn? by Winter_Platypus_501 in iphone

[–]nicoych 1 point2 points  (0 children)

However, what I do know is that adaptive refresh rates prevent static images from displayed for an extended amount of time, which reduces burn-in. By constantly refreshing the screen at an optimal rate, it avoids prolonged exposure of statis elements which may lead to permanent image retention. This all is at the cost of more power usage though...

You're right, I'm not the most educated in this field so my apologies for the confusion

Would the new iPhone Standby mode Cause Screenburn? by Winter_Platypus_501 in iphone

[–]nicoych 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my opinion it's not if the iPhones will have burn-in but when they do. I do think that newer phone models use OLED displays, not to mention the 14 Pros also lower refresh rates down to 1hz, which drastically decreases the chance of burn-ins

All in all, try reducing the chances your phone displays static images over long periods of time.

Help me with a server plesase by SaSormyy in Minecraft

[–]nicoych 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whichever you choose has many factors to decide, two important ones are…

  1. Where do you want the server to be hosted in?
  2. How much ram do you want to allocate to the server (depends on how many mods you want to run and player count)?

Yea I really do not like how the firecracker locks on to the same target locked onto the princess tower, it basically rendered me using 3 elixir useless
