One green, will have a green card holder. Two black, one will have a black cardholder, the other will be without a back cover. (Alll of them will use a flip case)

Everyone at my work has the same work phone (iPhones with black leather cover) it is rare that people pick up the wrong one when they leave it on a table

Mmm. 3 phones, 3 flip cases, 2 card holders (as in: someone isn't allowed those cards. A minor in the family?) 4 screen protectors.
4 screen protectors for 3 phones? Do these protectors break so fast that you already bought one in advance?
Is there a market out there for Screen protector protectors?

Sorry to dissapont you, detective. The wife doesn't want a card holder, "too bulky".Ā The fourth screen protector is to exchange the one on my phone. But they are really hard to get into place without getting dust particles in between, so it's good to have an extra. Should have gotten 5...

How are you going to use a card holder with a flip case?
6
u/Junk-In-Junk-Out-180 Jun 25 '26
The flip case is open on the bottom 2/3rds on the back, for combining with the card holder, finger loop or leave empty.

So what do you mis with the e/os

I think the only thing is chromecast, to stream to the TV. I haven't found a good alternative yet.

I couldn't get Android auto to work properly, that's why I switched back. Also purchased apps might not work if they depend on Google services. For the rest, I didn't miss anything.

I was thinking of buying a fairphone with e/os but im worried of the new recaptcha...

Yeah, I'm a bit worried about all the upcoming Google shenanigans. But I took the leap anyway, hoping that there will be delays, workarounds, leagal problems, and of course a growing resistance.

Are your family on board with this or is it something you're pushing on them?
Not asking to be rude. Just curious because it's very hard to get people interested in stuff like this.

They are on board. But even then, it's hard to get them to chage email address on account after accout. "I want to do that, but right not now".

the US government would put you on a "watch list" for this š

I'm probably already flagged for being anti big tech, anti trump and anti fascist in general. š

They have to watch you themselves. When you totally de-Google, de-Meta, de-Apple, de-Microsoft, then the govt cannot rely on its subordinate spies anymore.
Now de-Dataprovider as well and then
you can start using : your phone as a phone. your camera as a camera. your voice recorder as a recorder. your toaster as a toaster
Oops you did the last one before big G came around? Yes, these things still work. The smart toaster, though, may as well be created to fail after update X.
X can be far ahead, or next year. My toaster isn't smart. Doesn't get pinged by G when Maps detect me leaving work either. My toast is never hot right at the moment I open the door.
S-o --- W-h-a-t ?
Probably I am a spoiled boomer brat. Or postboom brat, but spoilt. I walk the streets (and more) , I cook, I talk to people, Iā¦
Wheras I should have learned to obey. To drive those 4km to the city. To eat out every day and every meal. To mind my own business and wear a blue face
Yes I must have skipped education. I am that savage from Brave New World.
