As I said, I didn’t even know it was an acronym. But since it starts with America, I was just mildly surprised they kept the same name, since we are not Americans.

You’re not similarly surprised that emergency numbers in other countries aren’t always 911, are you?

I was drunk and the case broke after two consecutive falls from about 3-4 feet onto a marble surface within 5 minutes of each other.

That said, it had already fallen 3-4 times even before that. Harmless falls, but still.

The phone is fine.

I requested a replacement and asked to be upgraded to their “Pro” variant which just launched. They said okay, but pay the difference. I said fine. Hoping to get that in the next 1-2 months (already been on a waitlist for 3 months because they just launched Pro and they didn’t have a stock for it in my country).

Note that at the end of the day, the “regular” version is just plastic and gets scratched up and looks pretty bad. If that’s something you care about. That’s why I want the Pro version.

Oh I’m assuming you were looking at the wood grain ones then? Yeah, they’re really ugly because it accents the stark black logo and camera cutout. I have the aramid fiber one and it’s honestly not even close to as noticeable. Thanks for the input though! Might give it a shot!

Edit: btw, here’s what the limitless 4.0 in aramid looks like after a couple months use. Camera cutout and logo aren’t too noticeable https://imgur.com/a/ZCtaub2

Have you ever owned a limitless case? Just asking because I was curious if it is actually a bit thinner feeling than the limitless. I’ve heard the caudabe sheath compared to the limitless quite often and was probably my first thought in terms of a new case, just wondering whether or not to bite the bullet and buy it

> AMBER stands for America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response and was created as a legacy to 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, who was kidnapped while riding her bicycle in Arlington, TX, and then brutally murdered. Other states and communities soon set up their own AMBER plans as the idea was adopted across the nation.

When you have it set up it blasts a siren from your phone if a child is reported abducted with the info on the child and proposed abductor. Only happens if your in the area of the abduction.

Amber alert

>An Amber Alert (alternatively styled AMBER alert) or a child abduction emergency alert (SAME code: CAE) is a message distributed by a child abduction alert system to ask the public for help in finding abducted children. The system originated in the United States. AMBER is a backronym standing for America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response. It was created in reference to Amber Rene Hagerman, a girl who was abducted and later found murdered in 1996.
