Just extra RM150 from retail price  laugh.gif Was considering even if it were to launch on 24th there's a high possibility i will only get it on mid December if not later. So just pay the extra small fees and enjoy it now  thumbup.gif

Haha, that’s good considering they tried to sell it at RM1500 more at one stage, ha ha...

Morale of the story: Don’t be greedy. He could have made additional 200 from you had he accepted your first counter offer. Good for you, bro!

Yes I am. Definitely can feel the difference, feeling is very close to actual glass on the phone (since it is claimed to use technology from Corning). It’s slim as well at near 0.2mm. Best of all the accurate and consistent installation when done at an Apple Store.

i second that!  rclxms.gif  thumbup.gif
very smooth surface

perfect combination with my spigen ultra hybrid crystal clear, im quite confident that my phone will have sufficient protection hehe
*
Thanks for the feedback guys. Yeah, I saw the installation video on a unit being done at the Apple Store and was impressed, too bad it’s not a full covered one. Reviews online have been mixed though, some claiming it’s too fragile and even cracks on its own biggrin.gif

Go check garage sales. Someone selling at rm5.2k for a sealed 64gb Sg set. I know you cant resist it bro. brows.gif

No la, bro. I don’t feed scalpers. Even at RRP, I’d prefer to walk into a store and swipe my credit card for the points biggrin.gif

X is the best phone right now in the market. Once you go for Apple, you won't go back to Android. If budget allows, of course iPhone X definitely the choice.
*
Even as a hardcore Apple user, I wouldn’t claim X to be the best phone in the market. There just isn’t any “best” phone in the market. There’s only the “best phone for you” in the market. Every phone is good, just depends on what the consumer is looking for smile.gif

In fact that is my worry also. Will the slight missed alignment affect the front camera view and causing more failure in Face ID?

You know, a slight miss alignment will affect the camera viewing angel a lot in relative to the distance
*
Yeah, the other issue with a misaligned or cheapo full coverage tempered glass is that sometimes it messes up your phone’s proximity sensor, though I suspect it won’t be a problem with the X, seeing how obvious the notch is!

Rhinoshield, Otterbox Symmetry (slimmer than Defender lol), Tech21, Lifeproof, Griffin, Pelican, etc.

Love Otterbox, but it’s seriously heavy and bulky. I used to use the Otterbox Defender with my iPhone 4 and it really felt like a brick. A friend joked you could throw my phone at a dog and the dog would die of head injuries!

I believe it’s fragile due to it being only slightly thicker than 0.2mm. I remembered one manufacturer told me that tempered glass should be at least 0.3mm thick for it to provide decent protection against impact.

Why I chose the Belkin ones sold in Apple Store is due to it claiming to use technology from Corning (so the feeling should be very similar to the naked glass on the phone) and I only want to protect from potential scratches. So a thinner glass protector should still fulfill my requirements.

Lastly, it’s just to experience the installation process st the Apple Store. laugh.gif
*
Haha, yeah, exactly. The experience of having it installed at the Apple Store!

I’m currently using Honda 0.33mm full coverage on my 8 Plus and it’s very, very good. So that’s my other option.

Yea Hoda pretty common now that sellers are carrying these days, probably best value for money tempered glass at the moment. The other brand is X-One which I’ve never tried before but I think X-One is the film type of protector.
*
Well, it’s not cheap. I paid RM90 for mine at machines, but it’s worth it.

You’re right, X-One is a film type and I tried it on my ex-Note 8 and it was horrible though. It kept lifting and it became grainy after a couple of weeks.

In reality, Apple’s production supply is enough to fulfill the demand, only scalpers are making it difficult for genuine buyers who really want to own the iPhone X.

Or the other conspiracy theory is Apple intentionally releases stocks in batches to create this shortage scenario biggrin.gif

Well that is true no? Even until today Apple.sg is releasing stocks bit by bit. If it is not to generate hype and demand, I dont know what it is.

I know another forumer here sold off his ipX at a loss only after 3 days. He was simply dissapointed and felt all was hype! He is btw a phone trader too. Anyway he is all the while a pro Android guy.

Pro Android guys should never, ever buy new iPhones at launch price. They are bound to be disappointed.

possible. ive regreted going to singapore for all this. the phone seems to be just like my previous other iphone. and its boring. the only different is OLED and face ID. and i will lose my JB which we rarely get a JB nowdays. Ive should just wait malaysian launch or else i will never feel like this. Once u got it, its already boring. the hype feeling will only last a few days. And i dont see many singaporean using Iphone X either. Unlike previous days where u sit on MRT, u saw person next to u, infront of u, everywhere are using the latest iphone. I think, this phone X is too expensive, even for a singaporean not to mentioned for us too. I will suggest everyone who planned to collect at Orchard or buying from scalpers/flippers to hold it for a while. Get the phone with a contract from our telco. In fact, 2 weeks is not that long either. Totally not worth a few hundred more just to get the phone. Unless if u bought it cheaper than the RRP.
*
Ya, 5k outright for a phone is a bit expensive, I agree.
