really? becoz, i'm the celcom users but their staff never forced me to buy protection plan.....
i've been using celcom for 3 years and i no need to pay for upfront payment....
they said device protection is an optional for their users who has stayed wit celcom more than 1 years.....

no wonder i dont need to buy a protection one..... AHAHAHAHA!
 

I thinking of going for DiGi. Similar like yours. No upfront because i using DIGI more than a year. IPX 256GB only like 4.4k  for 24 months under 138Plan. Thinkings is this the best option. 4.4k Seems reasonable/acceptable right? + they said warranty is by Apple. Any comment on this?

Yes the backplate does protect. But there is always worry that the backplate may scratch the glass back of the phone.

If you already have a backplate, i'd advice not to stick a TG at the back. There is a small gap between the backplate and the back of your phone, this does help in dissipating the shock if you drop your phone flat on the back. With a TG in between, you are basically transferring the shock from the backplate straight to the TG and your phone. Instead of backplate to your bumper sides.

Haha the plastic/silicone type? If it is not touching the backplate then should be safer... but no guarantees

I think Switch offers that (bought mine from the very quiet outlet in AEON Bukit Raja), even if I had to pay an extra MYR200-plus for that... Not too bad though, at least I can claim for replacement if the phone is dropped from high up or something...

Spigen has very good rubberized protectors, and they are able to withstand hard impact when you drop an iPhone from high up... I have used their products since the iPhone 6, although I did change the one for my previous iPhone 7 to one that has a picture of the Millennium Falcon, but with rubber grips for easier handling!

I'm the sort of joker that tends to manhandle my gadgets until they become like the Falcon (AKA Hunk of Junk) which is why a sturdy and tough protector is a must!

Problem is below 138 plan i would need to pay the up front which could cost extra RM700-RM900. Which i dont think is worth it. But 138 only give 12GB weekday and 12GB weekend. Kinda less internet. using currently 25GB all day. So im abit worried about that also. Or i might just add on internet.

I had a feeling that my ipX drain extra mobile data during normal usage compare to all my prev ip... need to monitor more..

Here how the phone looks like.

There is no backplate. It is the Baseus back TG. With backplate it looks damn fugly when it scratches

Hahaha...I really can’t stand the backplate after all the scratches. But *touch wood* this combination so far ok...dropped a few times and everything still intact...hahaha...

Yes...it is Rhinoshield. Be extreme careful with that bro...hahaha...i don’t guarantee ya...hehehe

Rhinoshield Mod case is good - solid material quality, can feel that it's strong, but it's not to my taste. My reasons:

1. After using it a week, I realised that I don't like cases with removable components.
2. The case makes the phone a bit wide for my hand. I prefer a slimmer, 1 piece case like my x-doria defence lux.
3. I carry 2 phones in my pants pocket so a smaller case makes things less tight down there.

It's a bit of a catch 22 situation actually. More protection = more bulky the case. Less bulky = maybe less protection.

@rsangel PM’ed me and he’s now a proud owner of my lightly used rhinoshield mod + backplate (carbon fibre) for half price. Shipping it out today

GSMArena's long term review of the iPhone X is up, and it's a very interesting read. I think it sums it up nicely, based on all the comments and feedback we've seen here

Shame on you, I've been in the office since 6.45a.m., hahaha... but that's life here in KL. Anything to beat the jam

I already using rhinoshield.... but i wan his bck plate and rim haha

My mum dump my box while doing house keeping

How many of you guys here use the Messaging app on your iPhone? Seems like unlike Americans, most of us are WhatsApp and WeChat users, which means we miss out on that "interactive emoji" thingy, which I personally find unique but kinda useless for now...

But if it's available on WhatsApp or WeChat, then this will give a whole new dimension to how we can send such messages (even if these emojis cannot be seen on Android, or can they?)!

what a sexy phone. but i dun like bumper, make the phone very fat, but no doubt that's very good protection.
Animoji is use for u to court girl... they will think its very cute etc... LOL not a must have, but u can always use it with another iphone user which is convenience.
Yes u can save as video and send via whatsapp and wechat.
