today's issue considered serious... coz it bascially burn a plane... though not entirely... but anything to do with planes... serious issue. which is why the US Dept also investigating this...

i have the Rock TPU case, yes it does not lift the SP but not fit, causing difficult to press the side button.

Bought Araree TPU case, fit well and also no lifting issue.

But after awhile i revert back to nillkin Frosted Shield, very minimalist caseand no lifting issue. this 1 currently is my favorite case.

hope there's no cover up by any of the parties involved.

it's getting people worried now

I have actually asked this question to the Samsung staff when i collect my replacement

he said can

and i rmb reading somewhere that Samsung have to provide the refund option for another 30 days after users collected the replacement

perhaps someone can check on this?

Yes for China at least, all battery, be it Lithium based or others are prohibited to be checked in. You need to hand carry them and also there are capacity limits.
Any non detachable battery devices are to hand carry too.
You can check in your DSLR but the battery had to be hand carry, for example.
IIRC a 15000mah and above battery/power bank is not allowed to hand carry into cabin without special permission (something like those TV crew carry huge battery for their shooting, need special application to the respective airlines prior)

Frosted shield kah... maybe i give it a try.

not providing protection enough...hahaha

i have bought 3 cases: UAG, tough armor, neo hybrid

prefer tough armor because it fits nicely...the other 2 feels too thin for my hand..haha

btw, selling my uag and neo hybrid any1 interested can pm

Thanks for informing, the last time I checked with Courts they request back all the freebies, this was before replacement. Now I am not sure what is their requirement.

would suggest you to check with SME directly, and get black-and-white if possible.

depends on country. yes all states that lithium batteries are to be hand carry but in my experience.

Taiwan = i literally got called up to self open and pick up my powerbanks from my luggage. many detectors
china = say only but do not check, i have successfully check-in 3 powerbanks 15k mAH many times.
HK = like china but do not check at all especially cathay pacific.
Thailand = got a freaking giant bomb and battery detector right at the check-in area. No chance
Singapore = less strict but sometimes can pass through
Malaysia = Do you have to ask ? its Malaysia dude
Japan = just like taiwan and they can even tell you how many are in your bag big or small.

note that my powerbanks are all 15k mAH. ofcourse this are a year back, now i just hand carry as fear of plane crashing.

ehh....u guys know how tat guy check his phone is affected unit or not arr in the article??

and also this 1 "His Note 7 also had a green battery icon and a black square symbol on the device’s packaging; both of these indicate that Green’s Note 7 is indeed a replacement unit."

Got this kind of thing mei?

I likes minimalist case, initially i was worry also, but since now SME given "insurance" protection on screen i no longer care, if screen crack just pay RM100 to repair.

haha...if screen scratches how a?

If new replacement Note 7 still caught fire, I think Samsung should refund all Note 7 and keep it off market. Saves all the hassle and further bad news.

simple ...just cracks it

May I know how to check this time?

Ya ... Saw that news... Really sad note 7 become like this , my note 4 was almost sold to one of my coworker so I can find for note 7 upgrade.... But with all this issue and today news on lowyat front page.
I have decided to keep my note 4 for another year, but need to buy new battery for it becoz my original battery is depleting super fast now... Half day and less than 30% battery left with moderate use.

The Courts officer informed me during my exchange she had even accepted a cracked display Gold unit yesterday!
Despite Courts clear Facebook instructions I was not allowed to keep the accessories. As this was just a minor issue to me I just let it go n not make any trouble for her. She was acting on her superior's instructions to collect back a full set.

My Note 2 still working. Lucky I haven't decommission it, keeping my Note 7 in the box first and see what happens in the upcoming few weeks.
