Hi all...just ordered my S8+. What is the best case + tempered glass SP combination?
There are a lot of suggestion here but not all are ok with it.
I'm thinking of getting the Spigen Liquid Air Armor but not sure what kind of SP will suite this case.

I think its not that durable. This version of gorilla glas easily scratch. My other set of s8 already got tiny2 scratch dont know from where. Suddenly its there. Back glass also the same. Need to brave to use s8 without sp. Haha..

It is Gorilla Glass 5 but has been tempered by Samsung. Curving it reduces its strength.

Strength is ok with this glass. Scratch is not ok. S7e is more scratch resistant than s8. Both curved. This is common complaint of GG5

Will it last for a day in my pockets?
Getting the phone on Thursday night but will only be able to apply SP and case on Friday night.
Or should I get the case and SP now and apply them myself when I receive the phone. hmm.gif

Haha. Just need to be extra carefull. Rule of thumb. Dont put phone campur2 with other things. In pocket small dust or sand should be ok. Mine naked screen oso. Still pristine cond.

Got the phone for a little more than RM1k...if something happens to the screen and I have to repair it, it'll definitely cost more than the phone itself. That'll make me feel really stupid doh.gif

Yes me too. Nowadays 95% motivation for me to choose which smartphone is based on the looks only..haha..maybe I'm getting old

Specs are all more or less the same. Might as well get something that looks futuristic. Compared to the S8, the current iPhone 7 plus looks like a prehistoric phone. If you put it in a museum and 100 years time someone takes a look at it, he'll think, both of these phones are like 10 years apart at least.

The iPhone 8 might be on par though.

Correct. If the price is too good to be true, the price is too good to be true.
Generally, the original ones sell at around the same price and can only differ by a very small percentage.

Tempered glass + apply clear coat on top of it and all body. U get TG protection with naked + anti scratch protection. Lifetime warranty too instead of buying super expensive TG

This sounds too good to be true. Is clear coat that good?
But can't use it with any casing right

Are your photos on your memory cars?
Maybe your memory card is not good/corrupted.

Hi guys, i'm currently in a dilemma right now. Not sure whether to get a S8 or S8+. Any advise or is it worth spending the extra money for a bigger screen n battery capacity?
*
Using the S8+ currently. The best phone I've used to date...simply because of the screen. I know Google Pixel and Oneplus 5 might beat it in some ways but the display on this is just far beyond anything else.
The S8+ is better but you should consider your hand size. I have small hands and am on the smaller side. Handling this phone with one hand can be a problem at times.

Anybody know whereabout I can buy Spigen cases in physical store? Location: KL

Try Lowyat.
Or there is a seller on garage sales which has an office at Cheras business center. You can visit him and he'll suggest some cases. My advice, get a case first, then think of screen protectors. I wrapped my phone at Mobile Outfitters and the guy applied full wrapping instead of a case-friendly wrap. So, when I visited the shop, many cases were not compatible. Now I'm stuck with Ringke Air until I go back to Mobile Outfitters and change my wrap.

Most people buy the S8 and S8+ for its screen and futuristic looks. At least for me. I knew that my S8+ was going to be slower than some other flagships.
