    StormyNight got a reaction from blackadder in GameStop now selling retro games and consoles   
    Don't really know what to say here, and I can't really give my opinion since I don't live in the United States, but I hope more retailers start doing this.
    Sorry if this has been posted already!

    So I ordered a Mahogany vinyl skin for my HTC One M8 off Dbrand. Having heard of people putting funny requests in their order details, I thought I would give it a go with the following:

    I think it might be worth adding that shipping took quite some time, 20 days actually. However this is kind of expected as I live in rural Australia and Dbrand is in Toronto. Anyways, the skin turned up today:

     

     

     

    I know it isn't much, but it humored me. Thought I would share. Now I gotta wait until the weekend to put it on, due to a certain lack of hairdryer.

    UPDATE:
    So I just installed the skin, came out pretty good I think:

     

     

    ^Don't mind my mechanics fingernails...  :blink: 
     
    The video on the Dbrand website made installing this a breeze, it is excellent. I got it a little bit misaligned, but not enough to bother me. I will however recommend if you are getting a HTC One M8 skin to get the HTC cutout in the back. Without the cutout to line the skin up it was quite difficult to get it straight initially. The quality is topnotch, with an actual wood grain texture stamped into the vinyl, Lovely.
     
    Will be getting one of these on all my phones from now on.

    As i've said in loads of threads, Buy what you want, don't let people's opinions take 100% of your decision.
     
    I love iPhone's but as I owned all of the iPhones from the 1st Gen iPhone till the iPhone 5 I got bored of it which is why I am on android now not because the iPhone is worse than android.
     
    It depends on what you like! Everyone is different which is why having a choice will always be good!
     
    If you like iPhones go get one, they are amazing phones. If you like Android then get one, massive choice means that you will find one that you love. If you like Windows Phone then you can go die in a fire get one! Its 100% up to you and what you do with it.
      At the end of the day its going to be YOU who is going to be using and paying for the phone. Yes by all means ask people's opinions and shop around for the phone that you want and can afford. Not all of us (Myself included) Can afford a £600 phone.    This was a response to a thread before a mod deleted it (Which was the correct thing to do as it was a stupid thread to start with).   Follow this to get the phone YOU Want:   What size are you comfortable with. Do you love phablets or do you like having a small phone. What platform are you looking for? All 3 platforms have their eco systems and which one you choose will depend on if your in an eco system already and if your happy with that eco system. If you own Macs then iOS is a good match as you will be able to use a vast amount of features between your phone and the Mac also you would most probably have an Apple ID Already. If you love Googles stuff then Android will be for you. If you love Windows and do allot of things in that eco system then go with Windows Phone. Matching what you do now with what phone platform you want will make your life so much easer. Also look at the App Stores on each platform, has it got all of the Apps YOU want? If it has go for it if not then look elsewhere. Your budget, how much do you want to spend, either upfront or with a plan, how much is this phone going to be a priority for you? Going pre-paid then getting a cheap sim only contract can save you allot of money in the long run but will have a high upfront cost to start with. For example getting a 5.5inch phone upfront from Apple will be allot of money upfront however if thats what you want and the monthly payments are in budget then go for it! Ask peoples opinions on what phone is best, because even if you follow 1-3 you may still have 3-4 phones your looking at. Ask if they own the phone as the opinions of people who own the phone should have the best answers. Listen to people who will criticize their own choice as their opinions are the ones which will most beneficial. Network, now you know which phone you want you now need to choose a network, collate a few post codes (Zip Codes in the US) and use their coverage checker to see which network would give you the best service in the areas you visit the most, there is no point in choosing a network based on price alone I would rather pay more (allot more) for a network that gives me good coverage/service rather than one that wouldn't. At the end of the day you should be making the decision on what phone you want. 
     
    Oh last thing. Ignore fanboys, comments like "Android is better than iOS" or vice versa. If they can backup that claim with probable evidence then accept the comments but if they can't then ignore it.
     
    So thats it, choose a phone YOU want not what the community wants. its YOUR phone and YOUR money.

    It's not a completely idiotic idea, it's just there are plenty of reasons that's it's not done.
    For me it fails because when using spreadsheets/accounting, the mouse is simply not used and all of the navigation is done with the keyboard, including the arrow keys which need to be close to the numpad for fast navigation

    Yeah, you simply can't go wrong with Logitech.
    The fun thing about them is that they don't have a repair service. It's way cheaper, for them, to just replace 'broken' stuff with brand new ones so you won't have to worry to get a half repaired mouse back in case it breaks and you RMA it

    Forgot to mention, and I wanted to draw your attention...
     
     
     
    I know you didn't ask this, but I think you'll be very pleased with the quality of customer support with Logitech. I've dealt with them a few times, and they've always done what they could to make things right, even if it's not that on which we agreed.
     
    What I mean by that is I have a G930 Wireless Gaming Headset. It's a great headset, but it only works on PC, and it drops connection from time-to-time because of my environment. We agreed on a return for a refund, but during the course of the discussion I kept on about how much I love the headset and wanted to just make it work. I've responded to all their emails about proof of purchase and all that, but it seems they've conveniently "forgotten" about the return, allowing me to hold onto it, even if only for a bit longer. What's more is the case has been escalated to corporate due to me not being the only one to make the complaint, so my case and the testing I did is contributing to the collective effort to get that issue resolved for everyone.
     
    The only other company that's shown me such a desire to fulfill my needs rather than their sales quota, and I know you aren't looking for a headset but I'm just making a point with this, is ASTRO Gaming. I have bugged them incessantly with my indecisiveness between their A50 and SteelSeries' H Wireless, but they've supported me and my decision making process the whole way.
     
     
     
    I hope this helps you in some way.
