[Rant] They replaced the defective screen protector!

Remember few days ago I bought a case and a screen protector for my shiny new iPhone 5S? The screen protector had a line carved onto it, where the two stickers separated. There were two screen protectors in the package so I tried the both of them and both of them were defective.

I informed this to Micro Solutions Inc, who was the seller of the product, and they sent me a new screen protector. Two of them in fact, just like in the original package, because I had to use up both of them needlessly.

The new ones are flawless. I actually have gained proper skill on how to apply them without dust particles or air bubbles getting caught in between. The first time I did it, there was a little mishap. The second times was perfect, except that line was carved in to the screen protector. The new one was applied perfectly as well, and it doesn’t have the line. Happiness!

Now I have to send the defective one back to them. They sent me a package to put it in. It’s already been paid for. I only have to call the courier and arrange a time to come and pick it up. Simple. I’m going to do it on Saturday.

Got the inner case for my DELL Latitude 10 Essentials tablet

One of the reasons why I chose the DELL Latitude 10 Essentials as my tablet was because I was getting a protective case for the tablet for free thanks to a promotion offered through kakaku.com. The protective case was worth about JPY3,000 so that was a nice bit of savings. The tablet did not ship with the case in the same package. It was delivered as a separate order. Unfortunately, it got delayed about a week. I finally received it last Friday.

One of the cool things about this case is that you can place the tablet in a standing orientation as a typical computer monitor. The Microsoft Surface has its own “kick stand” and it’s a nice design. None of the other tablets come with its own kick stand. This is how the DELL Latitude 10 gets its kick stand. The amount of tilt is not fixed as is the case with Surface. You can place it at any angle.

It looks like well made too. Feels very sturdy. And the material feels rich. It does come with a stylus mount as well, even though the Latitude 10 Essentials model does not support Wacom stylus. That’s a bit of bloat. But it is not intrusive because it is on the back of the tablet.

But there is one problem. The tablet weighs 650g. That’s getting into the uneasy region already. With the protective case, it weighs even more. It’s kinda too heavy to keep holding the tablet in your hand with the protective case attached.

I do not use the tablet with the protective case attached. I would only use it when/if I need to take the tablet out of the house, which hasn’t happened so far.
