I wholeheartedly agree with this. I always drop my Dinc onto my lap or the floor.

I disagree.
Maybe have a larger model for big hands and old people but we can still go thinner and lighter.

If they get any thinner it'll be like trying to type on toilet paper

Or we could ask them to stop locking the phone down then wrap the phone with a mix of silicon cases and turds.

Or just put an extended battery in there. It will make your phone thicker and you will get better battery life.

The extended battery cases make your phone look pregnant though. Which would be cool if it actually gave birth to another phone...

Lol I'd definitely love a Desire Z but lighter. I'm not like a brawny little guy but my Desire Z is heavy and like holding it up strains my hand which is annoying.

My thoughts exactly. The extended bats make my phone look retarded, especially with the "bump" around the camera.

BTW the thoughest phone i know is the nokia 6070 and i have a story for it also
So a year ago a friend of mine had a nokia 6070 and he was desperate to destroy it to get a new phone. So everyday at school he tried to get rid of it:
He threw it to the walls, ground etc but still no succes. We actually played football with it(no succes)
And my friend still have it and its fully functional(altough it's very scratched)
This is what I call a brick-phone

Panasonic GD450
I once dropped it from the 4th floor in a friends house, and it fell straight down on a concrete floor. The battery fell off, and that was it. It's the ultimate weapon whether you want to ruin a car, house or even a baby seal.

DIY - DVD Case to nexus 7 / Tablet Stand

Hi guys thought you might like to make one of these... dead easy.
Use a piece of string to hold a case from opening flat, and use the little tabs which usually hold the game / dvd booklet inside the case as perfect little feet to hold your tablet.
Just bend the booklet tabs outwards and the Nexus 7 fits PERFECTLY on them. It's funny how perfect the tablet sits on the case. It's nearly identically DVD size, if the case was just a little larger it would double as a carry case AND stand

Good job on the MacGyver

Broke it!
I ended up making this case in much the same way, though my string was actually some spare ribbon I found on a cat toy. Worked perfectly, but I ended up breaking one of the little booklet holders on the DVD case which made my stand lopsided.
Shouldn't be a problem on the next one now that I know to push more slowly. Cool DIY, thanks!

I like this idea. I love homemade options.
Another cheap trick is to use one of the stands from a one-a-day tear off desk calendar.... you know the black plastic, with a kick stand in the back and two tabs on the front that hold up the paper, and are sold at those calendar kiosks around Christmas...... works great....once the pages are gone

This is great, thanks for sharing.

Dr Dre Beats (in ear) - Cleaning Advic

My daughter has the Dr Dre Beats in ear plugs. There is no sound coming out of the left your bud. I believe it is a build up of ear wax, which seems to be pretty common with the in ear style.
She tried to clean the wax off the speaker mesh but all it looks like she's done is press the wax down under it........
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remedy this problem? Thanks.

That is besides the point, if you cannot offer an answer to the question then keep your comments to yourself.
Wax builds up......these buds are over a year old, she does clean them every 2 days....but over time sh!t happens....and that is not of your concern.

Can you post a picture of the model you have. If there's a seam along the plastic somewhere you might be able to slip a knife in there and pop it open.

You used to be able to send them to HTC for a replacement. Not sure if they still do though.
If u take them apart to where they can't be put back together HTC may not take them and blame it on u.

LOL. A little high-strung are we??? Try wiping with hydrogen peroxide. It will breakdown the earwax. Not sure about the water proofing on those buds. Check that out. I would not immerse them. But, they may be able to be immersed then left to dry for several days.
Side note: You can use left over hydrogen peroxide on your, or your daughter's, ears. LOL I use it all of the time.
/runs for cover

Everybody's answers are wrong. Your daughter obviously needs earbuds designed with the human ear in mind. Like these:

She runs and works out a lot for soccer, basketball, volleyball, etc....wax happens and over time while with great care they just gunked up. Yes she cleans her ears 2x daily with her 2x showers daily. Almost everyday use it was bound to happen.
I will look into those other buds......do you have a link?

An interesting method. I guess that knob is to tighten things up. Amazon has it for $25 and seems to be getting some great reviews.

Yea. Had to remove the bottom brace but it pops right off. If you offset the phone a little you can avoid the volume and power buttons. Just be sure everything is good and tight. Have a case on mine so I didnt use the extra inserts they provide. Gonna slap a NFC sticker on it tomorrow since I decided thats going to be my long term mount.
The work truck I use is very rough on anything mounted. Im not kidding my truck eats anything it dosnt like. This mount once set is rock solid im still impressed.

Got mine today. I like how it's made just wish the release button was on the side and it didn't block the display of my radio.

Does no one seem to mind it severely limits the use of the controls to the head unit?
In fact, I would say it's a danger while driving that you would have to look at the controls for some time to manoeuvre your fingers around it to touch a radio preset button etc.

It depends on where your cd player is. I never mess with things when I'm driving just when I'm stopped. I don't even talk on my phone that much in the car. It's crazy what you see people doing while driving these days. Saw a lady reading a book the other day. Yikes!
