I'm one of those that prefers a dedicated MP3 player because I prefer to use my phone for something beyond music while I am out. I keep a copy of whatever blog/other writing I'm working on on it and if I think of something I want to add I work on that. I find it easier to keep the page that is on up than digging through multiple pages of apps and the music player.

I got a Otterbox Defender for my Note 10+ when I upgraded at the beginning of the year. After having two of them break in as many months I switched to a Zizo Bolt case like I had on my Galaxy S7 Edge. I haven't had any problems with that one yet. I think these days you are paying for the name with Otterbox not quality.

I use a couple older ones of those as MP3 players as well as about a dozen EMATiC brand MP3 players. I'm actually deciding between an unlocked no sim phone and 2 more EMATICs right now. And to answer the question of why so many I have almost 500 gigs of digital music.

To those using prepaid phones as "other than phones", please remember that they will still dial 911, even if they are never activated. This is by federal law. If a phone has power, it can call emergency services. This will not be a problem in 99.9% of cases, but accidental calls have been made, by adults and children. Just wanted to give a reminder, not a lecture. If you do every accidentally call 911, please explain what happened and don't just hang up because they are required to try to find out if there is a problem and will only have a general location ping from gps. They will also not be able to call the phone back, because it has no service and technically no phone number. It always showed up on our screen as unknown (911), or something like that. Don't get me started on the officers who couldn't understand and would insist we call them back, multiple times.

That's the nice thing about those small MP3 players. If only they could play my Spotify playlists, hence the major reason why I opt for prepaid phones.

It has a replaceable battery, 5.5" screen, I won't go lower than 5 inches in screen size. I use it as my mp3 player and it also has all of my books loaded on it if I need it as an ereader. I won't ever buy another mp3 player, when a cheap phone will do a much better job! |

How long would a phone in airplane mode with the screen off play music anyway, I suspect you'd approach that 20 hours?

No they broke off when I barely touched the side of the table while on lunch at work. Also $54 every month is not something I can afford. The ZIZO Bolt is $17.54 and frankly built better.
