Help me out here. Not sure what it does or how it protects for my $50?

 

I just went with the silicon case and had the thin (like window tint) screen protector installed.

One of the contractors that comes in my work has one on his blackberry and it is extremely durable. I have one of the cheap verizon cases on mine now with the screen protector and it still feels like if i should accidentally drop it , it would break.

i got the roots case for my blackberry, like an otter box, but its tough and thick rubber and it comes with a screen protector. I love that thing you can literally throw my phone across the room and it doesnt hurt it. Its worth the money its saved it alot. But my gf works at best buy and they are like $45 and i got mine for $10

exactly what someone who has never had a phone protected by otterbox would say...

 

My current cell phone purchases are based upon the availabilty of an otterbox for said phone

I don't have an Otterbox for my phone, but those cheap silicon cases aren't shock resistant. I believe the Otterbox cases are.

 

If you drop your phone from 6ft off the ground, even with the 1mm rubber skin, the 'shock' of the drop still can crack the screen. The more expensive cases (usually) try to soften the 'shock' of the landing.

A friend of mine had an otterbox on an iphone fall from about 40-45', banged all kind of steel piped handrails on the way down, picked the thing up and it has worked fine. I'm sold on them.

Got the case today.. LOVE IT!

 

It came with a monster size holster to clip on a belt which i wont use, but it is sweet! I took some pics to show you all.

 

It comes with a hard shell case with screen protector built in. Then there is the rubber case that goes over it all, with removable plugs to cover ports from water... It is not completely water proof as water can still get in from the speaker / camera / and mic holes , but if you accidentally dropped it in a puddle or something it would have a lot better of a chance surviving in this case! It is pricey but i highly recommend it!

One of my dad's friends had one and dropped his phone off of his Harley @ 70 on the interstate and his phone survived unscratched!

Crazy, never seen one. Looks like I'll have to log onto that site and order myself a nice little X-Mas present. :thumbs:

 

I have the case-clip that was originally out with the X. Got mine a week after they came out and love it!

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
