Its a bumper type?
*
They have the Rhinoshield mod case, which is a bumper but can be used as a full case if add on the backplate.
I bought that as my protective case, a slimmer transparent case, a canvas type case which matches my ipad case and a silicon case exactly like Apple's silicon case.

Phone not here yet but already have 4 cases otw lol sweat.gif

Yeap, i bought 2 for both my X, hopefully i can get in Singapore on Friday
I am afraid the plastic back mat scratch the glass if there is a sand in between. So i go for bumper.
*
I think the chances are higher for scratch if there is no plastic at the back to protect the glass though. Bumper only protects the side and corners, the lip part only protects against flat surfaces but if you drop in on the road, or elsewhere with small stones, sand, etc. the bumper is useless. Replacing the back glass is a lot more expensive than replacing the front screen/glass.

Case 1 out of 4 just arrived. Bought this mainly to match my iPad cover as well, but turned out I bought the wrong colour! Lol

Maybe better this way since there is more contrast instead of the same exact colour as the iPad?

this looks nice. looks like same materials as my original pixel 2 xl case from google.  how much and from where did u purchased it?
Canvas material, so it doesn't feel plasticky smile.gif
Bought it from Lazada, but you can get it directly from the reseller @ www.iphonecase.com.my
They had the matching colour with my iPad on their website but not in Lazada! Only just found out...
They are selling much cheaper compared to the brand's official website @ Uniq

Which color is more appealing to you? The silver looks a bit like off white under glass rather than shiny silver but looks cool with silver side. Haven't had the opportunity to view space grey.
*
Initially decided on space grey, then now eyeing white since the chrome silver frame with white makes it look more luxurious haha. Unless you want stealthy look.

But space grey PVD coated frame is less prone to scratches than the white silver chrome. BUT repolishing the silver frame to remove scratches is easy but if the PVD coating has scratches then too bad tongue.gif

it is polished stainless steel biggrin.gif not referring to chrome ... chrome should be more like Samsung Galaxy S3, that will comes off after some time of usage due to plastic chrome plating

Oh right, polished SS lol. I sometimes link shiny polished metal with chrome sweat.gif

Wow, a sapphire infused screen protector? Probably costs more than Hao 5D if it gets here, ha ha. Speaking of which, anyone here using the Belkin Invisiglass screen protector that you can get installed at Apple Store? Any reviews?
*
Haha moral of story is get a good case and any screen protector is good enough tongue.gif

I read reviews on the Belkin SP and quite a number gave them poor rating. Mostly issues of the SP cracking on its own after a few days.

Didn't bother going for the full coverage SP. Read most of the reviews on Amazon on all the full coverage types and many complains on the fitting not perfectly align. As I am quite OCD, i'd rather get a display coverage than a small miss-alignment especially at the small holes cut out in the notches.

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

I rather have the full coverage area made of clear glass instead of the borders having the black strip. I'd pay more for that tongue.gif

That's the dream, isn't it? Unfortunately every iPhone since the 6 have curved glass on the front, making it impossible to stick properly. If the glass were all transparent, it would create ugly bubbles on the curved areas where the protector cannot adhere to the glass.
*
There were tempered glass screen protectors last time which is full coverage that is slightly curved at the sides to match with the curved screen phones. But I can’t really find that anymore though

Anybody eyeing to get a leather case for their X?
Tempted to get 1 for formal usage. I like Burkley cases, but wished their case covers the side buttons and the bottom corner extend a bit more... Their wallet cases would be interesting as well since the inner case is detachable.

Yeah my initial thought was to head for the space grey which has a more durable finish. But, then i have been using too many black/grey phones in the past, hence wanted to try the silver this time.

Silver is more reflective, micro scratches are more visible especially under direct light, wherelse black is less visible while prone to scuffing ...a good case and space grey will be the idle combo, but my hand itches to try silver this year, just need to be extra careful as i have poor history with chrome items. 🤤

Hence, thats why i would like to get a clear see through skin to minimize scratches, something like clear coat. But am not sure if it is case friendly..

It is easy to remove surface scratches on the silver, for the PVD coating you can't do anything once there is a scratch though tongue.gif

so many people buy it online.. so you guys will open & check the condition of the phone on spot when the dispatch arrive? wonder if found any issue, can we don't want to accept or sign.. hahaha
*
Yes if got issue refuse to accept. At consignment note write down the defects and refusal to accept. If the delivery guy doesn’t give you a copy, take a pic of the note and the defect. Then call Maxis CS.

here u go
https://www.store.celcom.com.my/store/preor...product=MDR5584

the drop down selection can choose without plan and can get rebate rm100 with CELCOMPROMO code.
means need to sign acceptance first as per what TOMEI-R mentioned before open the package? don't think the delivery guy will have time to wait me to open and check. by that time probably he already leave after i sign the consignment note haha

Show your IC for verification, if he insist you need to sign first then sign but insist he stay until you check everything. You have the right to do that btw.
