I changed out the Otterbox on my phone to a newer design. What a difference. A little beefier and much more grippy. The phone is more securely attached inside the case as well. I give it 5 out of 5 stars. Would buy again.

It is amazing how something different can make things so much better.

I ended up at Verizon yesterday because my phone of probably  6-7 years old finally died on me. I hate having to get used to new tech stuff because so much changes in a short period of time anymore. I got the same make and similar model and that makes the transition much easier. 

That being said, the difference in how this phone functions and the update in how apps function is amazing. It's still a bit confusing, likely due to what I just mentioned, but I'm not sad about getting a new phone this time around.

New(er) technology is fun, but it can be frustrating at times. Especially with a device we depend so heavily upon. When I switched from Android to Apple, the customer service rep told me on the phone that she'd made the switch herself a few months prior and warned I would be tempted to throw the phone against the wall for the first couple of weeks because the operating systems were so different. She was right. I cussed at that poor little phone more than it deserved.
