QUOTE(attw @ Nov 18 2016, 11:08 AM) Sorry if this sounds noobie-ish, but does coating a phone prevents from dents caused by accidental drops? it only does simple protection from scratches and ding. best bet would be unbox your phone at their store so u can wrap the phone in its freshest condition

Ya, I'm fully aware coating prevents scratches, I'm just not sure how it would protect against drops if used without a case. You guys have answered my questions then. Thanks!

For me, the battery on my smartphone needs to get me through a full day, i.e. from the time I leave for work (6.45am) till I reach home (8.00pm most of the time but sometimes later). My usage pattern is lots of whatsapp (which in my opinion is a big battery killer), calls, occasionally browsing and FB. Once in a while I use Waze or Garmin, if necessary. So far, iPhone 6 Plus, 6S Plus and now 7 Plus has gotten the job done for me, so I can say the battery life is good. Have not tried a regular iPhone since the Plus size models were introduced

Try getting the clear wrappers from the bookstore or plastic screen protectors and wrap your phone with it. Feels similar to that. I have tried it once and I dont like it because it peels after some time. Morever, dust will seep in to the sides of the protectors making the phone untidy.

Anyways, the other thing is if you have to bring the phone in for repair. Then your investment on the coating is gone, right?

Was thinking of doing the coating but was told it needs half a day to a full day to complete. Maybe will resort to the book wrap technique or my wifes kotchen wrap.  The problem with jet black...

Best is Not to use the phone minimally for the next 8 hours. Like me, i off my phone for 24 hours This post has been edited by Mazda9: Nov 18 2016, 02:20 PM
