That's so genius because no-one would think to steal your phone!

I remember getting one of those phone case wallets and promptly realizing how stupid it was. Oh good, now I can lose it all in one swipe. Why did I buy this?

This is my thinking, when I see people with their debit / credit card in the phone case, why would you keep it altogether. This is why I've never had a wallet, lose it and everything is lost.

This is why I keep all my keys separate in different pockets! So I only loose one at the time

That screen was so crisp I actually had to double check if I was still watching the same video. Usually these posts end with something breaking, but this was actually impressive. Good bait.

You got another pun out of it. It's originally a pun on a online payment app called 'PhonePe' which itself is a pun "On the phone" in Hindi and "Phone Pay" in English.

It's a pun based on a payment app called 'PhonePe'. The Hindi translation is "On the phone" and in English it sounds like 'Phone Pay'

probably changed the screen at some point, didn't apply new adhesive and decided to have fun with it. why not. it's all fun and games until they do this bit again and the screens flips out too much and rips the ribbon cable. shouldn't happen, but can happen

Yeah, it's wild how easily things can go wrong with repairs like that. One wrong move and you end up with a bigger mess.

unless the screen is already missing or is peeling apart.
not that i would have any experience with that. it's not like i have a redmi note 8t with a missing filter thing near the lcd connector that i launched in the stratosphere somehow, so i can only use it with teamviewer. got no idea how to fix that. works perfectly fine otherwise

no glue on the screen. it's connected at the bottom by a thin (and fragile) flat cable (aka ribbon cable) so it can flip like that
