hey got a question i have been trying to search answer to. the galaxy note 8 say it is IP68 water proof.

What about the sim card slot. how does the sim card slot prevent water from going in? Cause I find that  they only have a rubber gasket there to protect. if for someone who always take out the sd card to copy stuff in, the rubber gasket is easily spoil or not in place. what do you guys think?
*
It's not actually water proof. It's water resistant. Lol. But u can test also.. ahaha.. if spoil don't blame me. Heheh

i did test put in my sink while brush my teeth..so far no issue...just wipe after that...yes, IP68 rated as "dust tight" and protected against complete, continuous submersion in water..
*
Submerged? Or just splash water on the screen? haha. I have yet to try. Scared spoil. xD hahaha.. probably a good idea to wash it once in awhile since my casing always dusty. lol

submerged ofcoz...for few seconds only...

haha! nice! might try later when im showering tongue.gif muahaha!

QUOTE(PeeEl @ Nov 6 2017, 07:45 PM)
Not more than 1.5 meter and definitely not continuous submersion. As stipulated by Samsung, not more than 30 minutes. Please provide correct information lest others not in the know are misled.
*
Haha.. those who buy note 8 sure will read wan right.. if they dont read means they only like the design. not the hardware and spec. lol..

Note 8 rocks!

YASSS +10000 to note 8!

Note: Although I think the Iphone X's OS seems nice. But i like it like 2/10. Cause the #1 thing i dont like is the screen. blegh. ugly af. #2 is probably the home button. its one of apples most iconic symbols. haha.. i think la.. lol. waiting for people to review note 8 vs ipX. i wouldnt be surprised if ipX beats note 8, but I still will love mynote 8. smile.gif hehe. currently having ip5s and note 8. xD thinking to change my 5s ad.. lol. xD

Here's what I did when Samsung recalled the Note 7. I was sad it was gonna leave me because I loved it so much. I brought it swimming. Pool was no more than 1.5meters deep. But I definitely played in the pool for more than an hour (bringing out of and into the water). Came out, first thing that I realised.. Shit..no sound.. Then I thought.. Oh well.. Gonna give it back anyway, not my problem. Went for a shower and saw the speaker holes being covered by water. Blow dry and tadaaaa.. Working like a charm again
*
Hahha.. I have yet to wash my phone. LOL. Dusty cause I bring to my site and my pouch i haven't clean for a long time. Ahahhaa.. will try it later tonight.. if I remember.. hahahha.

Considering most can pay around 4k for a phone, I expect most to at least use a TP or SP. Guess some just prefer a cheap rm10 sp xD
*
Haha.. I used to use one.. From Spigen. Then it came off like after 5 days of using it. Cause I dropped my phone the the TG just flipped out. So I've been using without SP/TG since then. Still looking for a good one. Not so worries because I'm using flip cover. xD

I got a problem. Now in Japan but when i insert Japan sim card it says network locked sim card. My note 8 set bought from lazada, seller Tesco.
Any idea why this is happening? How do I unlock this?
*
i think its region specific. On the box there are limited countries where we can use the phone. You could try to change your region to Japan before inserting the sim card. lol. I think.. Not sure..

Yeah that was me. Sad there was a scratch, but it's really hard to see, probably already there when I bought it.
Where do you buy yours. Mine was the front and back one, didn't like it. There was bubbles on the side of the edge. After some time dust gets into it. Also the color is different wben you use the sp.
*
I bought from mobile2go today. Lol. He did mention there will be bubbles, and when i asked if dust will enter he said no. lol. We'll see. My work requires me to go to site with dust. lol. Colour is ok. It looks ok generally. Only the side, but I am also using a flip cover case. So yea. haha.. We'll see in a week.

Lol. I mean, front and back SP and plus i can use my flip cover and it will do its job with scratches etc then im good, as I know my flip case can protect in drops. And I watched a video on youtube someone dropped it at a height of 1000ft, only back screen crack. lol. xD

yes, that's y u need casing more than screen protector.. better go for full protection with shock resistant, can recommend u like incipio REPRIEVE.

the upcoming dbrand grip is also a beast.

aiks shud refer this to the other guy, sorry tot is same guy i replying to lolz.
*
Haha. I actually bought the xone one.. Lol. Just last weekend.. xD hahaha.. Full SP cover. Then I put my flip cover back. XD Not bad la. But already got some scratch mark as its not TG lol. So yea.. xD

Its okay bro. No problemo. hahaha

QUOTE(vhs1 @ Nov 22 2017, 03:57 PM)
The flip cover is durable but not everyone favourite.

For over 3 years on my edge I never install TP or SP and dropped countless of times.

But I never worry, got 3 gorillas protection and flip cover.

No need headache what sp or tp suitable for edge.
*
hahaha. New phone ma.. 4k phone. Sayang la brooo. xD Must show care for like 1 year. Then ok ad. lmao. hahaha...

The clear view flip case is quite thick, and solid build. But a little bit regret that the front mirror surface is real finger print magnet, i need to keep wiping and cleaning to keep it nice looking, tired....

haha.. Mine all scratches already hahahaha.. But still usable. Lol.

Yes that's understandable, Bini baru dan mahal mesti sayang.

But I still like plain nakedness of the screen without barrier. Baru got the feel and clarity. That's why we are paying for.

Maybe that's me. LOL

Having the flip cover helps handing better. Can grip nicely and snugly. Put in pocket no worries if keys and coins etc.
*
Hm. true also. But even a slight dust may scratch it a bit. haha.. xD I put the SP just for minimal protection since I already have the flip case. xD heheh. True also. But with flip cover also I dropped it twice liao. AHAHHA!! XD
