Thanks to USPS, it took over 3 wks to get a package… but it’s finally here!

When I pop it out to see the main part. It’s clear to see how ridiculously over size & thickness.

Now, I gonna design it. Question is do I wanna keep the buttons. 2 options here.
Option 1. Keep it clean & no buttons or key, just cover.
Option 2. Used flexible plastic to 3D print, so I can press on the buttons.

my vote is flexible plastic for buttons. switches like that aren't really rated for long term exposure to typical elements.

I’m pretty sure that’s partial reason

Had a literal Geico moment today when I decided it's time to ditch Progressive. It was quite amusing honestly.

What's a Geico moment?

That whole '15 min could save you 15% or more on car insurance.'

My rates with Progressive were basically that of a 16 yr old male despite no wrecks in recent history or speeding tickets and being double that age. So I decided to shop around and got a stupid low quote from Geico.

Oh, I could have told you that. Especially if you are a government employee (The GE in GEICo).

shopping for insurance is such a pain. last time, i specifically sent out my current coverage to a bunch of other companies, and told them, "match this coverage, but for a lower rate."

what i got back was anything but the same coverage. yes, i'm aware, when one changes what things are/aren't covered, it's super easy to make that rate lower, but the point of sending out what i had was so i was doing an equal comparison. but they wanted to play games.

so i went back and forth with a few of them, but it just wasn't the worth the hassle. so i just went with the same insurance i had before
