Anyone here using the phone naked?

I still feel it's too slippery for my liking and insecure. Lol

Thanks.. I heard that for s9 plus is around 250 for either matte or clear type.. just wondering is it worth the price.

Purely naked. Zero F's given about protecting the phone. People are too paranoid these days.
Clear coat from Mobile Outfitter is basically just a glorified TPU skin. Which means you're paying over 200 bucks for a piece of plastic that gets yellow over time (and it doesn't even take that long to get yellow, just a few months give or take). It doesn't protect from scratches all that well either, so within a few weeks you're gonna see micro scratches all over the place.

Sure there is a so called "lifetime warranty" but look at the company's situation, I doubt they'd even last another few more years before packing their bags to the bank. Also, I'm not sure about you - but are you really that free to go change for a new coat every few months?

If you are going to spend 200 bucks on some glorified protector, then just get a whitestone dome or something.

Read a few reviews on whitestone done. It's a good glass sp but it will chip easily for no reason and once it's ruined, have to fork out another 200.... 😅😅😅

Not willing to pay rm200 whitestone? Buy cheaper from me then. My dome glass will arrive today. I just need one loca glue from the kit. Going to reuse my existing glass. I f'ed up the installation last time and wasted both loca glue sticks.

I think i will go back to full body wrap with my next new phone. Been on clear coat since s7 edge, s8 and s8 plus.. the price went up to 250 suddenly and felt not worth now but I'm regretting cuz the amount of glass sp, pet sp I changed surpassed the cost of 250 😅😅

Chip at the corner or edge?
I'm using tmax and the corner scratches within 3 months..
1st time ever my glass sp get scratches

I already bought pet film.. been using pet type on my work phone, rough usage for almost 2years.. haven't got any scratches yet
*
Which brand of pet film you bought? I used x-one extreme shield before.. it was good and flawless in the first few weeks... after that, air bubble starts appearing to both side of the curves... eventually got fed up at the ugly sight of it..

It's sad to see the price dropped so much after half a year when I bought mine during launch event half a year ago at 3999 for 128gb.

I guess only fruit maintain its price good second hand market value.

Read it from Google news. Some guys at XDA had developed Android Pie dark theme, almost 90% the same what we will be seeing in Samsung experience 10.

It's really dark and menu buttons are so round and cuter.

Let me know if you guys want to try it. It's just theme apk

Hello guys. I need some help.

I own Samsung S9+ for almost 3 month. Lately my phone screen display showing "tint" on the top and the left corner of my display (the red rectangle from the picture attach, u can see the white part and the yellowish part).
I google it & from what I read is it was a burn-in display (which happen to Samsung AMOLED display), it seems permanent to the display. My phone never having serious drop or never put into water, I really care all my stuff. Note also, I don't use my phone for gaming.

Should I ask for repair or ask for replacement. Need help. sad.gif

For me to save battery this is what I do usually:

- install dark theme/keyboard dark/wallpaper also black or dark colors one. Reason: save battery on display as AMOLED display black as 'off'
- uninstall apps I don't use at often. Turn off their notification.
- restarts phone once in few days

Maybe back up your data and reset the phone? Or else bring it to Samsung repair Center for advice.

In camera mode, anyone know how to set the effect "cosy" to be permanent?

Everytime i open camera, need to set "cosy" effect

It seems that the effect will only stay if u leave the camera running in the background.. else it will reset to auto 😅

Started using my s9 naked, but with clear coat all round.

The slim factor is so nice.
Don't bother much, since nowadays 2nd hand flagships has no value

Yup.. exactly what I am doing... it's so sad to see the value dropped 50% which is around half a year only.

Hi guys, long story short, i dropped my client's S9 and its cracked. Can anyone recommend (pm) any reliable shop at Klang Valley area to replace the screen? Relieablility is the priority, then is price.

Also, what is the price ya? i need to have a little preparation for my little heart.

Thanks.

It's better to send back to Samsung service center to retain the water proof ability
