I was a phone man for over 30 years. There isn't a cord I can't
untangle. My wife is always giving me these very fine necklace chains
to untangle. I haven't been stumped yet.

My wife game me a bag of >5 balls of yarn (>3 of which were black) which
had decided to get frisky. That was fun. When I was a kid I'd go to my friend's house and untwist his kitchen phone cord, so I've been weird a
while.

I bought a charging pad, and its related receiver coil for inside the
device. It was cheap, <$10.00 on the 'net.

It was designed specifically for the Sams Gal 4, with the contacts to
the battery provided by the mfr. Sometimes, if there's not enpough
room inside the cover, you have to get a specially designed
replacement (usually comes with), and the extra width can make it
difficut to fit in your holster...(YES, I DO STILL USE A 'PHONE
HOLSTER. SHUT UP. LEAVE ME ALONE. GET OFF MY LAWN).

Well heck, I didn't get the memo. What are the kids using to hold their flip-phones on their waistband these days?

I can see how the quantum physics chaps think it's all knotted up.
