I have the propensity to glorify my gadgets the way I deify my science icons like Hubble, Einstein, Sagan, Hawking, and Kaku. The level of glorification goes as much as to overprotect them like how a Mom to his children(or since I don't have a maternal instinct, I better have to use the analogy of shepherd and a herd of sheep).
All my gadgets are protected with the most utmost care-- from display protector, surge protector, keyboard protector and all sort of protective shield I can get.
In an effort to protect them, we either bought unwisely some items that we ended up not using because for one, they hamper the functionality of your devices. How many of you bought keyboard protector but ended up having a hard time typing as the silicon cover impedes your typing speed. How many of you bought iPhone cases that rendered useless because some buttons will not work anymore. To think that I only bought branded items and accessories, I could have minimized this unfavorable fate.
Secondly they look fugly over time. Just look at this iPod Touch 4th Gen and how ugly it has become because the supposed military-grade material ZAGG Invisible Shield that would have protected it from bumps and scratches appeared UGLY at the course of wear and tear. It is thicker than Gmask but my Gmasked item still survived up to this day. The longest running Gmask protection I had was almost 5years now. Only the reinforced protection at the gutter was removed but it still looks good and astutely fitting, not the unappealing, worn out, and detached lateral sides to corners.
Avoid spending a thousand bucks for this.
FUGLY! I love that word...
ReplyDeleteYes, I hate keyboard protectors because they reduce my speed to 30 wpm! When I am originally a 70-75!
@LovelyE: yes fugly, hehehe, kung wholesome ka it means freakin' ugly... kung hindi, it mean the other F thing.... fanget. :)
ReplyDeleteang bilis mo naman magtype, di kase ako kumuha ng secretarial administration na elective eh kaya mabagal ako magtype. kinuha ko ballet.
waaa, parang naluto ang zagg!
ReplyDelete@Katey: oo, natuklap sides and corners nya. juanget na talaga. grabeh...
ReplyDelete@John, yep, I know what it means. I use the word all the time. wahahahaha! I learned typing from my mom. Didn't take any secretarial classes. So how was the ballet?
ReplyDelete@Lovely E: oh yeah, sayo ko yata namana yung paggamit ng fugly. bwahahaha.
ReplyDeletei learned typing c/o Underwood and Olympia.
YAK, ang swanget talaga! patanggal mo na. I'm so not having mine whole body, screen lang.
ReplyDelete@katey: tinanggal ko na. papalitan ko nalang ng hello kitty na gmask. bwahahaha. teka, di ba may iPod Touch 4th Gen ka rin?
ReplyDeletehahahaha, sige, pa gmask mo.
ReplyDeletewala pa, i'm getting the ideos first. hehe
@Katey: ideos? cge, pero pahiram mo sa akin muna dalwang linggo para review ko sa magazine.
ReplyDeleteOooh, sayang pera! Buti na lang my friend didn't have her Macbook "protected" there, we found it waaay overpriced in the first place.
ReplyDelete@Madz: buti nalang. otherwise if you must, just go for the Gmask. my Gmas since 2006 is still a beauty and doing its job fairly well of protecting my Acer lappie.
