You are right, but that case it's almost perfect.

for me it's not "almost" ... the more i see it the more i work on it the more i love it ... (well ... now we got the answer why i am single ... :laugh:

)

A little bit bigger or big like my Lian Li would be better nothing else to complain, the case is fantastic.

My latest phone, in addition to my Sony Xperia Z5 Premium and trusty LG G Pro 2, an LG V20. I've been putting it thru it's paces, used my AT ATH-R70x, Fostex T50RP, AKG K812, Sennheiser IE800 and CA Jupiter.....drove 'em all with headroom to spare.

Despite having the UAG case, I'd also gotten a Spigen Tough Armor case so that I can watch movies with its stand propping up the phone. Changed the screen protector to a more premium one which is smaller than the previous, really doesn't attract fingerprints like the previous one. The 200GB mSD card is for my movies, some DSD64 and DSD128 tracks, as well as FLAC and HiRes PCM rips of songs that I like. Hence, the need for a large capacity mSD card.

I'm a controller collector it seems.
I wanted a sega saturn style pad of quality; I ordered this from JPN via ebay for $25 it retails in the US for 40-60+.
Gonna take a bit to get here, but worth the wait.
For PC use it supports Xinput. The best feature is L3/R3 as extra useful buttons.
Killer Instinct is gonna be mad fun with this as well as emulators. =D

People that have bought an RX480 kept it just for only just a few months and sold them after that....

For how long are YOU planning to keep this card?

Personal Opinion

"You just Ruined perfectly good skin"
You cannot send it back under warranty

Your Need to update Your (if you have one )Criminal Records
You Cannot overclock them

In a town called Merthyr Tydfil is an elderly guy who, one evening in a drunken stupor, decided to tattoo his forehead , (using a mirror) , with the name of his favourite rock and roll star.

from the following morning and henceforth he was known as E V L I S .........(true story.)

It's only skin why not do something with it.
It has a lifetime warranty.
The only records i have are plastic and they spin around and play music.
You can overclock them and even upgrade.
