I find Evernote to be an exceptionally great notetaking app.
If you end up using Google Calendar, I like Smooth Calendar as a widget that shows a few appts and lets you click through to the full calendar.
I previously had an S4, now an S5. I use the InvisibleShield Glass screen cover—people seem to keep finding ways to damage the glass on their phone screen, so the durable cover might pay dividends. (And already did on my S4, when I dropped it about a meter onto slate. I currently have a BodyGlove phone case.
I am totally mystified as to how you “go through” a phone case every month—I tend to use rubber ones or semi-flexible plastic, so the phone electronics would probably be mauled by the shock before the case suffered significant damage. Do you use a very different type of case?
I was new to a smart phone; and was using a soft-plastic case with flip cover; I hold my phone with my fingers around the flip screen (left handed).
The first one I went through—the little arms that hold the case on wore down.
The second and third ones the fabric between the case and the flip part tore because of how I hold it.
now I am using a hard plastic case and the flip part fabric is stronger, so it hasn’t broken yet.
I think I am also getting used to a smart phone so I don’t seem to be dropping it as often as I did in the first month.
Thanks for writing this. A few notes:
