I have a razr M with that hard shell, no screen cover case with the shell belt clip. It is minimal but does help with the bounce. I have dropped mine in rocks and dirt more times than I can remember, and knocked off big pieces of screen saver in the process. No marks on the screen itself.

That's nice! My wife and I are hanging on my brother's business plan. I think he has 8 gigs and never goes over 6 with his business using the bulk of it for mobile transmission. We are almost always wifi.

Thanks, I will try those too. The Nic I can stop/start but it must stay on for normal operations.

I'm one of those "newbies" here, but I have a couple hundred heat from other sites. I got here looking for older hardware, and found it here and nowhere else. Unfortunately, I got burned for $10 on some DDR.

I have another device (WD live TV plus) that does netflix and hulu plus for me, so I really want a PVR only. Has anybody tried out openelec?
