Where did you get yours?
Do you like the location or would you have rather gotten it somewhere else?
Scale of 1-10 pain?
I’m hovering over the place order button for the flexUG4 right now. I got a guy ready to install it. I just need some feedback on choosing a location before I commit.
A bunch in my forearms in different locations.
Allow me to insert a scientifically accurate* pain scale poll for you
*May be subjective
To answer this.
I am happy with all my location choices.
In the past, I have moved a few around, but they were reprioritising and upgrading.
As you are asking about the UG4, my P4 has worked very well for me.
Personally, I like the hands for presenting to readers, and the forearms for readers to be presented to.
I would like to add on a tiny bit here, xSeries only at the moment, so I’m using objectively worse antennas from a range perspective.
Outer forearm can work very well too (part facing towards ground when pointing a sword at the sky), but only for very specific readers. My desktop (kbr1) and ONE of the door swipes at work, I use my forearm, while the other 3 door swipes I use my R4.
i quite like the outer forearm for public transport turnstiles as they are usually flat at waist height so it’s a little less contortion 
I’m taking your advice for p4. Bought the implant and booked the appointment. In my right hand it just makes sense.
I get what you are saying about the hands for presenting to readers, makes sense and I agree.
Not quite sure I get what you mean forearms for readers to be presented to. Like…maybe the wireless readers I used to work with that scanned badges at checkpoints. They were basically just honeywell RMPK40 powered by a battery and a 2.4ghz bridge.
Basically, a phone (or desk reader)
Easier to move the reader (phone) on the forearms, than the other way around
Ohh I gotcha, that makes so much sense.
I installed the apex module in the back of my left hand and it sucked, I’d give that a 8, I install a m1448a magnet in my left forearm near the elbow and that was a breeze, I’d give that a 1 lol.
Thank you for the input!
Makes sense to me. I volunteered to be a pin cushion for corpsman and the hands are definitely more sensitive.
If I had that many I would probably need to start getting tattoos to remember which one was which. I’ll probably end up there, knowing how I am with diving into things.
I just sceduaĺed and secured my appointment for my apex flex install i will do foearm ngl in right arm got the spark in the left same spot
With your palm flat on a table, which side of your forearm? Top side?
Thinking of how to place my flexDF2
Works for me!
Pinching that area causes little pain compared to closer to my watch. Perhaps it would not be a bad location for access control..
Have you been practicing yoga 
for 30 years?
To me, that position looks super awkward for presenting to a reader.
Unless, it is a specific reader at a certain height and you get the implant at the perfect orientation.
Perhaps a little testing beforehand would be highly beneficial before speaking them crazy words 
This is how I picture you, warming up before approaching the reader
And you at the reader, trying to find, just the right orientation
You after a couple of years using the same reader
And you, after you realise it was a bad idea, and decide to put an RSP / MFGC on the reader to help you out (easier, but still awkward)
As you can tell, I’m leaning over a chair here. But our work readers are [currently] set to light switch height, and most of the ones I personally care about are to the right of doors.
I dunno, I’m just trying to avoid a p0-4 install.
Oh, sweet.
So no walls by the reader, that makes a big difference.
Good reasoning.
I wouldn’t do a flex in P0
But I personally P1-P4 for Flexies
One of the readers I care about does have a glass wall to the right of it. I was debating on a “just behind a watch” install, but after some trying, I was getting caught on the wall… Or having to bend as you show above.
Being able to have my elbow only overshoot the reader by 3-5 inches should be enough to avoid elbowing said glass, and doing it horizontally should hopefully allow a more comfortable presentation.
I do have both p0’s open.. I guess I am just concerned about more flexing in those areas compared to a forearm install. I know most flex failures are due to bad positioning, and I would really prefer to have this / other flexies for a long time, hence my avoidance until now to get a flex at all.
Probably not a reasonable concern, and more of me over thinking things than anything.
Medical professionals should adapt this scale.
