- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Lol, kinda dumb to use a heavily insulating material such as glass to slap on both sides of the phone.
Inductive charging doesn’t work very well (if at all) through metal.
And plastic is apparently a dirty word (one-time use plastic should be, mind you), even though most iPhone owners are also buying I plenty of Patagonia micro plastic fleeces.
I miss the times where plastic was used in phones. Glass cracks and feels clumsy and insulates. Metal transfers energy from impact to the components inside. Plastic just cracks but at least absorbs some of the energy. And is easily replaceable and feels way better.
How many people actually use wireless charging?
It doesn't feel like a premium material and it accumulates scratches and imperfections faster. Glass is either fine... or completely broken. Not a good heat conductor either.
I'd disagree. My pixel 3a feels really nice, when I got it I honestly wasn't sure for a moment whether it's plastic. It did get a few nicks and scratches, but it looks pretty alright for beeing used every day for three years without case, and me dropping it twice. Can't say the same about the screen glass
Yeah, I really liked the feel of the Pixel 3. Turns out that to make a plastic coat not feel cheap all you have to do is to not use cheap plastic
