Geekbench 4 shows that it's free but when I downloaded I get charged RM2 by my debit card :/

If your debit/credit card never being charge before for item purchase then you might get charge else it won't charge single cents.

I didn't get charge as all my card inside all has been use before to purchase.

Just for the sake of updating & not discussing, I'd put a sheet of clean white Paper in between my spigen case and the phone so that the phone will not come in direct contact with the material/ spider web design of the case 2 weeks ago.

Upon opening up my case today for cleaning, I noticed there are black colour droplet on the piece of white paper. I'm not 100% sure it is from my matte black iPhone but I'm convinced that it is not dirt. My best bet would be my matte black iPhone 7 plus really has its paint chipped despite it is well protected doh.gif

Told you throw away the Spigen case lo. I already throw all or give to people. I not going to use any Spigen case anymore.

I don't believe it is due specifically by spigen case bro. Perhaps the spider web design speed the chipping process. Anyway, quite disappointed with apple QC doh.gif

I've used 3 iPhone 7 plus matte black, all use Spigen Liquid Armor, none got chipping issue. I think it's Apple QC's problem.

Because the Spigen case not only give spide web, it also deoxded and also freaking easier turn yellowish.
I throw all when I notice people mentioned it might the possible make the color peeling off.

Me, my sister and some my friends all using Black iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, all didn't use Spigen case and all no chipping issue.

I think not all type but probably only those soft rubber one. Anyway since see so many mentioned, throwing it better than using it.

So many brand do similar type of what Spigen do but none give spider web after use. I got more than 20 cases and only Spigen show sipder web after few hours use. Yup only few hours will give you those spider web in phone.

Yup, October 2016 batch.

In this case I am lucky I already selling off earlier batch, my current is later bought. My sister & my friends bought even late than me.

Anyway I still reject Spigen case because it give stupid spider web.

When not using, it immediate deoxded for nearly all type, soft rubber or transparent. The hard transparent is the only don't deoxded.

For soft rubber transparent case, it very fast deoxded and yellowish.

Only Spigen do this. Cheap RM 10 transparent case also won't doing this!

I bought my phone on first week of Jan 2017. Checked my phone and found that it was made on last week of Dec 2016. Is my phone considered the early batch ?
Yes I have to admit the case did leave the stupid spider web mark at the back of the phone doh.gif definitely a design flaw in my opinion. However I really like the protection the case give. Any better alternative to suggest me?? This spigen case did protect my phone once from a drop of 1.5 meter.

I think you can try below for great protection case. smile.gif

ElementCase - This case is very tough and really kind of famous now, but a bit pricey.

Ringke - Onyx series is solid and nice. My favor protection case.

Nilkin - Defender series also nice and tough.

UAG - This brand is my previous favorite brand but since they do combo for iPhone 7/Plus and 6s/Plus, I didn't fancy it anymore because it got extra headset hole when use for iPhone 7/Plus.

Yeah, had the same experience of the Spigen transparent case yellowing for my previously owned Note 5 as well. Since then I've stayed away from most transparent cases.

Spigen not only yellowish but smudge everywhere.

Actually others brand / unknown brand transparent case still not bad. Seldom have such issue. smile.gif

But transparent case need to wiping, so I still much prefer none transparent case.

Off Topic: Which Music Streaming is the Best!

user posted image

Just like to share 3 famous Music Streaming service. I am not audiophile but I love music and sensitive to sound quality.

Below is the highest setting applicable and all songs is test by using Powerbeats 3 headset.
Test on iPhone 7 Plus and all without enable equalizer. Few types of music and same song listen in 3 apps
  • Tidal - 1411kbps FLAC (lossless)
  • Spotify - 320kbps Ogg (lossy)
  • Apple Music - 256kbps AAC (lossy)
Sound Quality - Winner Tidal, 2nd Apple Music, 3rd Spotify.
Tidal is unbeatable the best sound quality, it is CD audio quality because it is lossless.

Spotify even though is 320kbps but Ogg format is still far behind AAC, the vocal is softer, bass is less strong and sometimes still can heard artificial noise & sound fuzzy. Obvious never my favorite at all. I don't like how Ogg sound output. It is also the most far different when compare with Tidal 1411kbps FLAC.

Apple Music is kind of near to Tidal 1411kbps FLAC, thanks to Apple better format provide, even though it is only 256kbps but it is far better than Spotify 320kbps, strong vocal and strong bass. Hardly to heard any artificial noise.

Music Catalogs - Winner Apple Music, 2nd Spotify, 3rd Tidal.
If you are only english song or europe song listener, Tidal is match with any of the music streaming provider. But if you listen to anykind of songs especially Asian song, then Tidal is very far behind, most of Chinese or Malay songs is not available in Tidar.

Interface - Winner Apple Music, 2nd Tidal, 3rd Spotify
Sorry to said I very dislike the Spotify interace, it is very troublesome to search and access offline download music.

Price Value - Winner Apple Music, 2nd Spotify, 3rd Tidal.
Even though all 3 can be same subscription price of RM 14.90 but Apple Music having more music catalogs and better sound quality, this is the reason of why it beat down Spotify. As for Tidal in same price range you only get 320kbps AAC instead of lossless. They is no reason for subscribing Tidal standard as the catalogs is much less. Use Tidal the main reason is go for FLAC lossless but that is much expensive than others, it cost RM 29.80 monthly. Some will said Spotify have free version but the free version only up to 160kbps Ogg which to me is very bad sound quality where I won't listen, also it came with full of advertisement that I can't tolerant.

Cross Platform - All equally tie
All 3 music streaming is cross platform of PC Windows, Mobile Android & Mobile iOS. All support offline download. In this category, all equally tie.


I not include Google Play Music, Amazon Prime Music, Napster & Pandora because it is not available in Malaysia.
As for Deezer the lossless FLAC need Sonos System where I don't have.

Good review, very informative. Have never tried Tidal, but I was on Apple Music for about 6 months before returning to Spotify Premium.

Only due to one reason - My household has a mix of iOS and Android phones. I found the Apple Music UX to be so inferior to Spotify's that it's not even funny. Fonts are big and small here and there, app options are cluttered all over the UI. My wife tolerated the shitty user experience for 6 months before insisting that we go back to Spotify.

The new Music app in iOS 10: a big bold confusing mess
*

Beside that too big font not my liking, it still more user friendly and now both iOS and Android is sharing the same features on Apple Music. No longer issue for Android user using Apple Music.

Spotify I won't use as the sound quality didn't meet my requirement. Later tonight I might try Deezer.

Currently I test run the Tidal. The quality is there but the music catalog is kind of poor for Asian song.

I hope this year Apple release lossless Apple Music.

Spotify has more choice therefore the clear winner for me. Abit useless if it has the best quality but don't have the song that I want.

My own preference, I pick Apple Music. It has more than Spotify with far better sound quality. The Spotify sound not meet my requirement. Haha!
