Bought two new cases. The war in my head is never ending.

I'm on a 1:1 care shift at work, and usually my patient is rambunctious and can't sleep and trying to pull out their IV's etc...instead he smiles sweetly at me and tells me he's going to sleep, that I'm the most beautiful woman he's ever met, rolls over...and goes to sleep.

Which means I'm spending money. :straight-face:

I already said why I didn't get along with the NÜÜD. No bottom shade access unless I was willing to constantly swipe after a 12 hour shift at the hospital...which I wasn't.

Same. That plus the horrible power button and it's wider than the Frē. It actually ended up in 3rd place in my competition review facing it off with the Frē and the Pelican Marine. You can even see in the video how difficult it is to pull up the bottom shade while I'm handling the case in the video.

EDIT: Sorry guys. I just realized I had already posted this video earlier today. Just happened to be nearly 9 pages ago lol.

Makes me sad you and @MizWylie can't get bottom shade. Are you guys dragging up from center? I drag up from either side where it's lower and just sat here and drug bottom shade up like 20X in a row, 100% accuracy. I legit can't figure out how why or what this issue is about. I can't replicate it Just bugs me for some reason.

Yup. You are correct. I mention that in the video. The issue is that the center bottom of the case rises a bit too high up on the screen. It looks like they purposely lowered the inner lip of the case on the left and right of the power button to facilitate the swipe up but the way many of us grip the phone one-handed when using it makes it an awkward motion to swipe up anywhere but the middle. It's either too far so you have to stretch out your thumb to the opposite side or too close and you have to move your thumb towards the palm of the hand which makes your grip feel less secure.

Maybe my fat stubby fingers make this easy for me. I always hold in right and and swipe up with right thumb though. I guess this issue is worth mentioning but may be deal breaker for everyone? 🤷🏼*♂️
