Always think twice and wait a day before you buy new stuff! Only buying what you really need is the motto. Tip: become lighter - reduce yourself to only what you regularly use.

 ===== Sticky velour paint =====
-Velour paint on casings like on [[sony_ericsson:start|Sony Ericsson]] K800/W880 can get sticky over years. With Razor Orocchi mouse flour did not work, I had to rub it off with (isopropanol) alcohol, polished afterwards and now have a black shiny hardplastic surface - totally different feel, but not sticky anymore :) \\

+Zipties, laces, cable ties or whatever else you might call them: For opening cut the strap furthest away from head, reuse the (slightly shorter) tie for some other place. Take a needle and push it between latch in tie head from behind or carefully take a knife and try to push the tip below latch. \\
+Not only police as use tie as handcuffs. There are reusable ties, also used in bondage sex practice. The ties can be reopened by pressing the latch on the head with a finger. \\
+[[life_hacks:tape|Glueless tape]] is awesome. See for "bondage tape" (no joke), it is like rubber tape which sticks like cling wrap to itself. \\
