Re-Boxing My Exploding Galaxy Note 7 In Samsung's Fireproof Box

Well, Samsung has quite the return process, indeed. That box is hilarious!

Some tech sites do unboxing articles/videos, but today I find myself in the odd position of doing a reboxing article covering the Samsung Galaxy Note 7's return packaging. One of the most interesting aspects of the recall is the thermonuclear-proof box that Samsung sent over to contain its exploding progeny. The box within the box is the most interesting. It's sturdy and has a ceramic fiber lining that is about a quarter-inch thick and covers the entire interior surface. The outside of the box has a number of ominous-looking caution signs that warn the contents are of the explosive variety.

I got the same kinda box for my Nvidia Shield Tablet. Tho, Nvidia didn't threaten to charge me for another device if I didn't send the old one back. Even better, outside of the US Nvidia just told ppl to discard their devices 'responsibly'. Hence anyone that took the time to root their device could remove the OTA updater that would update with a brick patch after you received y our replacement.

Did you start the process of returning your device yet? They send it to you with your new device.

LOL! 

Hmm, that get's me to thinking... I should probably be charging my old rooted Shield tablet inside this box.

It's not "my exploding galaxy note 7" because you are quoting from an article

In either case, my experience with the Note 7 has been resoundingly positive (it’s fast and responsive and has a great camera), so I will use it for a few years. However, I will miss the ability to use it to start a campfire or as a signal flare (you never know when you will find yourself in a survival situation).

Lmao.

This is really a serious hazard if samsung decides to sent this type of packaging to the note 7 owners.

May the light have your back and your ISO low.

So basically, the songs made throughout history, by today's standards are on fire.

Read the community standards; it's like a guide on how to not be a moron.
