As long as you manage to shave the combined thickness below 1.4mm it will fit. I went as far as 1.2mm that is when the sim card failed. Also chamfer the sd card's leading and trailing edge on the printed side to minimize it catching anything when going in and out.

Good job there. How did you manage to measure the thickness? Did you use a caliper?

what is samsung trying to achieve is to have more display as much as possible

the other so-called curve screen / edge less phone actually not achieve the same as samsung
they are just having full glass but not full display screen edge to edge

THat's why when u look at Iphone X, u still see the fugly bezel around the screen, the commercial all make it looks nice, but in actual, the bezel is kinda thick. S8 and above the infinity display the side are really no bezel, only top and bottom which is ok since it is not a fuking notch and u wont notice the top and bottom. Apple really bring "Top Notch" design into reality.

but then, for samsung user, because we all go and buy those thick casing bla bla, in the end, the infinity display become pointless.

i don't like thick case because the phone is already too big
and i don't like the TP that have black line at both side to cover the adhesive because it cover up the display, so i go for transparent one although the adhesive also not look nice but at least i can still see the display

spigen rugged crystal, it is one of the slim case in spigen series
i was thinking to get nillkin clear TPU case initially, it is very slim

but due to the camera + fingerprint together open up a big hole at the back of the case
so to be safe, no choice i can't go for nillkin

wont this kind of casing feels abit flimsy? because is TPU type. Prefer some hard casing type like spigen thin fit or spigen air case which is PC type.

normally hard case is not 100% cover the body, it is always expose some parts
when install and remove, always feel like it will scratch the phone

last time i used this type of nillkin case for my S3, luckily it never scratch the phone side
it last very long until one day, i hit it to something and it cracked

spigen rugged crystal so far not bad to use

If you see the comparison video below, you will knew that iPhone 8 plus's video are warmer in colour. So i am curious to know, is it possible with Samsung to achieve the same with some apps? Or something? I knew this can be corrected with Software.

Guys, I have an issue here.

The side of the tempered glass is so nonresistance to dust due to its curve glass..... It cause the dirt to go inside the tempered glass easily. How did you guys fix this issue?

Will getting cover case with non-tempered glass ( normal screen protector ) help? Is there really any tempered glass that can cover the entire glass....

Just got mine over the weekend, Orchid Grey from Umobile. Extended/upgraded my existing plan to the Monthly RM90 plan and didn't have to pay any upfront payment. Phone price was RM2959 and they even allowed 0% 24 months installment.

Purchased from U Mobile Times Square.

So far, not very impressed with battery life..

should be because your TP not 100% stick to the screen so it have a gap for dust to go inside
maybe due to the design or not install well

there are TP cover full screen but not friendly to most of the cases
