Works great for me. I carry my drivers license, backup credit card, and health insurance card. That's all I need 99% of the time. The other 1% of the time (when I might need cash, or maybe some business cards), I put my regular wallet in my pocket too.

I don't try to "slap on" the wallet and expect it to align perfectly. Why would you ever do that??? I just place it on and if by rare chance it didn't line up perfectly, it takes a millisecond to straighten it.

You know what actually inflates the prices that consumers pay? Stupid lawsuits like this.

What way do you hold your phone? I have never taken a screen shot by accident.

Never happened to me either, but I use Raise To Wake. Once in a while I manually put it back to sleep, but I think my case gives me a grip that doesn't lead to this issue.

As much as I dislike Qualcomm, I’m trying to understand what EU law they violated.  Certainly, their behavior was anticompetitive and gave Apple an unfair price advantage for their paid for ‘loyalty.’

But I think merely being anticompetitive is not enough to warrant the EU’s attention.  Is it not anticompetitive when you offer a product at a lower price than competitors?  Yes, but no laws are broken and it is normal marketplace practice to compete on price.  Is it not unfair when you can get a better price from a supplier when you bargain harder than your competitors?  Yes, but it is also normal marketplace behavior to try to get the best bargain to reduce unit costs and increase profits.

So again, what laws did Qualcomm brake?  Or was it just bad optics and political opportunism that motivate EU attention?

In the US at least, if you dump products below cost that can be abuse of monopoly power, and is against the law. This was mentioned in the article. Also, if you go beyond negotiating for best price and pay a customer to not use a competitor's products regardless of the price or quality of competing products, that would also be against anti-trust law. Microsoft was found guilty of something similar in the US, when they essentially forced computer manufacturers to pay for a copy of Windows on every computer that was manufactured, whether or not it even got installed, in order to qualify for best pricing of Windows. That prevented most manufacturers from offering Linux as a choice, at least off the shelf, and gave customers little reason to not use Windows.

Crossing fingers that Qualcomm gets the hammer dropped hard on it.  They deserve everything bad coming their way.

As does Apple?

Did you have anything intelligent to add, or are you just baiting people? As do you???
