AGV K3 Gothic White


AGV K3 Gothic Black (my brother's )

And the logitech X-530, no photo necessary, I think
For a bargain

 

This arrived this morning and it's totally legit and real I've been testing it out and it sounds pretty damn good to me! The only thing is that the windshield is a little grubby with a couple of rust spots on it, so I've called the local music store and asked them to order me a replacement one in. Mic for £30, windshield for about £12... still a bargain as far as I'm concerned

 

The Ford GT arrive this morning, oh god its so pretty!

 

Oh damn, I am jealous now... those are two absolutely awesome models.

Where did you say you bought the GT again?

 

another collector, the GT has been discontinued for over 6 years now and they're as rare as rocking horse ****

 

Yeah I knew they were discontinued, just wondered where you'd managed to pick up such a rare model

Grats, she's a beauty

 

Fitting one should prove 'fun'.

 

i've left my screen as it is with my hd7, i can't be dealing with screen protectors

 

Can't do any worse than my iPad one, 10" is too much for someone of my dexterity; there's a reason they always give you two in a pack. On a side note how are you liking the device?

I've finally gotten round to buying a Kindle WiFi for the girlfriend. Ruddy Royal Mail Special Delivery has decided that 1pm can actually translate as 'whenever we feel like it' so I'm impatiently playing Angry Birds/writing an essay until it arrives. Of course, it's for her, not me

 

I did some math and it would be cheaper for me to just replace the screen of my HTC Desire when it gets scratched, with a new one from eBay than it would be to buy a new screen cover every time the old one falls off.

 

I was going to try to go without but wimped out after a recent close call.

I'm finding the Mozart brillant at the moment, apart from a few bugs which will hopefully be fixed soon.

When Amazon shipped my Kindle they didn't even bother to use Special Delivery just normal 1st class, that was on the most expensive delivery option (which I ended up not paying for anyway). The Kindle is worth the wait though.

EDIT: Just got it on with only two small bubbles, both in the button area.

How often do those screens get scratched anyway? Doesn't all high end smartphones nowadays have glass screens instead of plastic? Just make sure not to throw it into the 'keys and change' pocket and you're good..

- The good screen protectors don't fall off.

- Unless you're a complete idiot, you should be able to put a screenshield on an iPhone/iPad/HTC/other flat glass fronted device without air bubbles. Doubly so if you are a tech minded person.

- The good ones last a long time. The SGP Steinheil screenshield on my heavily used iPhone 3GS has been on there since I got it which was about 8 months ago, and has no lifting edges or scratches on it to date which might make me change it.

- It's always good to have some protection on the screen because whilst they are resiliant to scratches compared to the average iPod/non smartphone plastic fronted screen, there are still plenty of things which can score them.

 

Doubles, please delete.

 

Ive had my Bold 9700 over a year now and still on the same protector.

Just be careful with the phone, and they survive fine.

 

I screen protectors are necessary. My zune and my desire screens are both perfect after respectively 12 and 5months of use and I carry both in my pockets on a daily basis

tbh however I just got lucky because I dropped both devices a few times and only the corners were scratched/chipped. The screens never got damaged

 

My bold 9000 was spotless after 18 months with no screen protector. My N900 is 9 months old and the screen is as new, despite not having a screen protector on it either. The trick is to be careful with your device. Never put other things in the same pocket, watch where you put it down etc.
