Playing it upside down must be difficult

My god get a case for that thing, screen protector too (they have matte screen protectors for anti-glare I have one and it's awesome, better than the 512 any day). I was holding off on it because I wanted to get the Killswitch but it expensive šŸ˜– but I'm definitely doing it now.

I meant the kind that goes around the body even when in use, not just a carrying case, they're different kinds of cases.

That stinks all the same.

Pretty good šŸ˜‚ I got it shipped from my parents. Owning both LCD and OLED versions. Definitely enjoying the OLED one.

This story was originally posted some time ago. I know because I read it when I was shopping for my SD in Australia. The points about warranty really got to me, so I went for a Legion Go and loaded Bazzite. Local purchase, with local warranty and repairs (touch wood I never need them), interface looks and feels like SD. So far I love it.

Eh, I bought one in Brazil. Don't regret it one bit, and the experience in Australia is certainly easier.
