    the LG is great. I had the Note 2-4,and the Note 8 tablet. Also still have Samsung tablets. but if you need to upgrade I LOVE the V10. (I do have an iPad, but am not a fan).

      Annnnd @marytattoo, I had no idea that the Note 5 didn't allow for taking out the battery! I am not really a phone person (I had a flip phone until quite recently), but I really like being able to reboot my phone and take out the battery etc. Thanks for that heads up!

      Yep, the Note 4 fits so easily into the Side Effect. Perfect for easy carry.
      I adore the stylus. It is perfect for note taking and drawing, and its pressure sensitivity is super responsive. I find drawing and note taking completely frustrating on the iPad or iPhone with all those crappy third party styluses. Cracks me up that Apple backtracked on their anti-stylus stance with the latest apple pencil! And now you will have a hard time finding any apple fan who says a stylus isnt useful.

        Picked up my new S25 in black halcyon/nws. The black halcyon looks awesome on this bag in my opinion...


        The northwest interior looks great too. Coyote Q-Kit with small shop bag rolled and stuffed inside.

          OMG I must go purchase one right now! I have been resisting getting another Synapse all week long, but I'm not sure how much longer I can hold out, especially as people start posting their pictures!

              @Ilkyway are you waiting for that guy to go so you can slap your bags on his shiny paintwork and take a photo? ;)

              Comment


                That shiny blue one - definitely Nordic nights! - is a much jazzier version than I remember from visiting DDR in the mid-90s. Are they now collectors items to restore?

                  Kirri they are very nostalig about these cars and also very creative. We saw all kinds of colors and even cabrios and all sorts of remoddled versions. They do a big meetup every year in Anklam and do some "odd" contests like who is the loudest and such things.

                  Not entierly my cup of tea but fun to go to once in a while and the creativity people put into these cars is emazing.

                    My Fjord Shop Bag. It had three pint cans of paint samples, color flyers, and a chicken shawarma plate! Much nicer than carrying a bunch of plastic bags.

                    I'm moving into a new apartment and have carte blanche to choose the colors. It's a little overwhelming, and I had a brief thought of a Fjord bathroom, but I decided it would be a bit strong. Really love that Shop Bag though!

ID:	299753 here is section of my bathroom walls in zest and UV! Actually the orange is a much deeper and a little darker orange, so although dramatic, it is not as bright as a zest wall. The deep pink (not really UV) is a small area of inset shelves.

                          I also have another room painted orange... No wonder I love zest.

                          Fjord would make a fantastic bathroom. In my experience, it is always better to go for the colour that you think you would like as you rarely regret it you like colourful rooms.

                          The only colour I've ever regretted was a lovely creamy white that we spent ages choosing for the kitchen. It was called buttermilk I think and looked like a warm creamy neutral white. But on the walls with our pale green cabinets, it somehow took on the hue of glowing nuclear waste - at least that is how I see it.

                            Kirri, that's fantastic! I just went to the paint store and got a lot of sample jars. No Fjord (yet), but a lot of blues and purples and greens.

                              Painting our dining room a very light pink was the best home-improvement decision we ever made. It looks like an ice cream party every day.

                              Your bathroom is awesome-looking, @Kirri!

                                I don't know if this helps or not, but the Nordic part of the white and black Halcyon versions really are identical, at least to my eye. The different grids really make it look like a different colour, but if you block out the grids and just compare the blues, they are the same.
