Oh! DS - where is my coffee? Tried to keep this going while you were away.....

[zara_backdog]

and who knows where it might lead.

This is what I thought - at least it would pay the bills - just.

[zara_backdog]

Hum! no sign of my coffee - I suppose I better make my own

[DS23]

nice shiny cover for my phone has arrived as ordered on amazon.

[DS23]

the last few phones have been wrecked almost immediately cos i bash them about too much.

[DS23]

so this time (and since it is touch screen) i've decided to try out various protectors. they are cheap as chips but how easy will they apply? and will they stay? and will reduce sensitivity?

[DS23]

Hum! no sign of my coffee - I suppose I better make my own

sorry. machine is filtering now....

[DS23]

so, the first one has arrived. it's a mirrored one. comes with its own little cleaning cloth and very specific applicator instructions.

[DS23]

and is, apparently, re-usable.
