When the drawing is over I'll update this post with my result, fingers crossed for a win this year!

Is the 2016 iteration any better? I headed out to preorder my S7 and S7 Edge a few nights ago at Best Buy and the Samsung rep there had one of the Clear-View covers on hand, so I took a quick look.

Is this just a decision made independently by the largest Android OEMs, or is there something bigger going on here?

If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you probably noticed that I received a rather large shipment yesterday from my good friends at iLoome. In fact, they were nice enough to send me 4 of their LG G4 tempered glass screen protectors. I actually already bought one of their G4 protectors during an Amazon sale, so I now have 5 total in my possession. That leaves me in quite a difficult spot, what should I do with the 4 extra? Give them away of course! 

I'm about to take a trip to Pittsburgh to see my fiancee. We currently live apart while I finish my research and teaching contract here in Arizona.  Thankfully due to my job in academia we are able to see each other for large chunks of the year. Each time I pack my bag for an east-coast trip  I face two major dilemmas. Which sneakers should I bring? Which phones should I bring? In this article I will address the second of these questions. If you're interested in the sneakers I'm taking on the trip, check out the Kicks and Clothes page tomorrow!
