by d way.....was thinking of buying the smart cover...not sure yet

http://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Protective ... w+sgp10793


anyone here using a flip cover? does it humbug u while making calls etc?

By 'humbug', what do you mean?

I use the Spigen Slim Armor View on my Note 3, and the only real 'humbug' is taking pictures with the rear camera if you have the cover folded all the way back. The top border blocks the lens a bit. The advantage of the Slim Armor View is that the cover can be easily removed, and you can rock the case without it if you wish.

Your phone will feel like a tank with that case though.
It doesn't add as much bulk as you'd think.
I also have an OtterBox Commuter, which actually adds more bulk than the Slim Armor View.

Unpacked 5 [TODAY]

I wanna know what Sony doing...it may have some upgrade worthy potential in their lineup

Z2 seems pretty good but not much of a big deal if you already own a Z1. Z2 has bigger battery and screen with more vibrant colors. Faster processor, thinner as well. All in all there's nothing ground breaking as other here have said.

All Sony products just blend into one big glass slab for me. I can't tell them apart. The names are so close to one another and the specs are incremental at best.

W T F!

I updated SGS4 i9500 to official kitkat using odin last week and Just noticed that the auto rotate function isnt working on most apps (gallery, kindle, whats app etc.) pretty much every app that doesnt force auto rotate.

that aside, samsung's bloated version of android runs a lot smoother on kitkat than ever before. Though not anywhere near vanilla android.

True. The z1 is a great phone though.
