If you're looking for a screen protector that is dead easy to install, this one is a no-brainer.  Comes inside a frame, so you never touch it.  Just prep your phone, and lay the frame over it.  I did mine in less than two minutes, and it's glass, too!  Fits perfectly.  $16.99 on Amazon for a pack of 2.

I don't see one for my OnePlus 7 Pro. Oh well.

I use TPU films since they are a lot cheaper and so when they all inevitably get too scratched up, it's a lot easier to replace them.

I get it, guys.  I was just so excited about not having to fiddle around to get it right, and thought I’d put it out there as a great solution for someone who might feel the same way.  In the past I avoided protectors because they were SUCH a pain.

Ordered the new iPhone 12 Pro in Pacific Blue on Friday. Was a no brainer as my monthly bill is going down by $20 and I get 20 GB of data instead of 12. Not that I need it right now.  :P

Got an iPhone 12 Pro coming too, should be here Friday.

My 6 still worked but it was getting so the newest apps wouldn't run as it won't update to iOS 13. It had a pretty good run for a used Ebay phone

Looking forward to seeing what the new camera can do

No deal, I need an unlocked phone so list price from Apple.

Was thinking the iPhone 11 pro might have dropped in price, but Apple stopped selling it instead and used ones are still expensive

Probably because the 128GB 12Pro is $200 cheaper than the comparable 11pro was

Don't all phones have to be unlocked by law?

They can be sold locked but you can ask the provider to unlock them at no charge.

how much?  I'm an Android guy, and my S9+ still has plenty of life left, but my wife has started grumbling for an upgrade from her 8.

Honestly, they're going for $1,000-$1,200 on Kijiji all day long. PM me an offer, obviously "friend deals" on this forum are a thing. Comes with box and accessories, and a generic (Spigen?) case.

Happy to deliver in southern Ontario or ship within Canada.

Canada is #1 , the most expensive cellphone rates

meh...you need to take those articles with a grain of salt...i'm sure our rates COULD be lower, but there's a lot of variables at play here...FWIW, i'm with Freedom mobile for wireless as their rates are pretty decent (for what we have here).
