so much discussions on screen protectors and such. kinda sad that after so long, technology still hasn't catch up to not worrying about scratches. or maybe not convenient or cheap enough for mass adoption.

i remember the days of note 7, just before the return dateline. i could use the phone in all it's intended nakedness without a care of scratches and dents (because samsung gave an undertaking to accept back the phone in almost any conditions). was using it for about 2 months in this condition. very liberating feeling. surprising end of 2 months, there wasnt any significant scratches that i could see even though i was just using the phone normally and not taking extra care to do so.

Its not easy to scratch Gorilla glass 6 (Note 9 is using 6 right?)...

Infact I never has a scratch screen problem with ANY of my handphones (touch wood) despite using them naked since day 1.

And yes, despite how good the screen protector is... the colour/vibrancy/feel will always be downgraded somewhat.

It used to be awesome, and I switched to it from Lazada (especially after alibaba took over).

But now its all Shopee..

hi~
i also using 2 note7 & s8 naked condition,
for the 1st note 7, screen is scratch and back screen also scratched due to few drops...
when exchange 1st note 7 the samsung staff say the 1st time saw the one so hurt *only few scratch and some dent around corner*
2nd note 7 even scratch within 3days, might be jeans have some hard dust *without key or coin la, pocket for phone*
current s8 front screen is fill with scratched mark and back glass cracked due to drop a few time~

i think unless they use good quality sapphire screen & ceramic bezel/carbon fiber/rare material like those premium watch does, *even 1 of my tag have a hardly seen hairline of scratch mark*
accident is what we call accident, scratch or cracked will happen no matter what.  whistling.gif
conclusion: more protection mean future can sell better price or some dealer with make re-con on market *you know i know la, most phone dealer will do*
my opinion: phone is under consumables category with lifespan 3-5years which now became 2-3years,
bought it and then use it la bro~
cover with cover or phone case also cover it's design d, wasting designer brain juice and time.  thumbup.gif

Sapphire screen is actually not very viable for handphones. It might be good for watches but you notice how thick the glass on watches are compared to phones?

ALso, though sapphire glass is much harder Moh 9 v moh 6.5 for gorilla? Its MUCH more brittle then glass, hence chances of it crackign when dropped is MUCH higher.

Not to mention the cost of sapphire glass can fetch upto ~8x more expensive, and it weights ~50% more.

Conclusion : I'm using my Note 9 naked, just liek ALL other phones I have used. Welcome to the club brows.gif

Hence why, the need to protect your phone in case of an accidental fall so it reduces the chances of cracking.

Without a doubt, why the weight of the phone keeps increasing with the new Gorilla glass technology.

I think its more your 85949746 mAh battery....

I cannto compromise the feel/quality of the screen by putting another layer of glass over it. Just be more careful gua

do note: Note9 using glass 5th generation not 6th
GSM arena: Protection Corning Gorilla Glass 5
Forbes:  Corning Gorilla Glass 5

from previous note4 build, the diamond cut area is scratch easily even just install or remove cover...
wondering note9 will be same or not

2nd Note 5... no scratches so far.

Aiseh.. thought it was going to use G6.. oh well

Hahaha, you mean the new legendary 4000mAH battery 😂🤣

Or purchase the screen protection plan for RM280. Well worth it IMHO
*
The screen protection plan is for 1 yr?

Front and back as well?

Cause hor.... i assume the screen will cost around 1k... paying 28% for insurance is kinda er... on the high side?

i know bro, only problem was...
i ordered 2 units, 1 under my name, 1 under my gf name,
so i need to bring her along for collection or bring her original IC or just photocopy ic will do?
while as i mentioned eariler,
samsung site say must owner come for collection
samsung retail say must bring original IC
Btw
https://nasilemaktech.com/review-samsung-galaxy-note9/8/
this reviewer mentioned that
SOT for 1440p 11.70 hours
SOT for 1080p 12.65 hours

this is more tempting than earlier 5.5 SOT with 25% battery
or xda hours SOT
*
better bring her IC along.

Only the printed confirmation is risky, sometimes they wont let u take...

Actually you are not allowed to hold another person's IC without that person within the vicinity. Better be careful there.

I really doubt you will get into trouble in this situation.

Just like you are not suppose to have a knife on you.

Yes, it's for 1 year screen protection + 1 year warranty for your phone. See, if Samsung is offering a promotion for their Roadshow as I saw them advertising the screen protection plan going for half price, RM140.
*
if RM140 for 1 yr screne protection AND 1 yr extended warranty on phone maybe consider
