Tarak syok la...wanna chase them.

What to do... it said 30th Oct. Lucky enough can get liao... even they have stock, they rather give to retail store sell more units. Your money locked by them. They wont bother.

by the way, how is the resell value of the fold? it seems like it will be quite hard to resell cause the prices are high. I mean fold 2 right now is selling almost as much as new phone price. RM3 - RM4K like that.
*
Like BMW, buy rm500k, 2nd hand value rm250k...

Maintenance also too high... anything wrong, very expensive. This is really luxury phone.

Prepare to loss 50% when trade in.

at least wanna know how long it lasts.

Haha .. good question! This is first time I tried Fold3. But I did survey ... most Fold2 user only sell between 3k-4k .... And I believe no one will buy.... Better trade in back to Samsung as other said.

Hi new owner here.
Traded note10+ for $1600 + instant rebate $200.
Never planned to get flip, but after saw one in store already falling in love.
My only prob is the battery life.
Now waiting for 350 evoucher and care+ to be approved.

Regarding of 300 code for ROI, I never receive one. How to check ya?

Out of topic : why i cant login to my old account?
*
ROI 300 if for pre-registration in Aug/Sep prior to pre-order. I think you dont get it.

QUOTE(enin5555 @ Oct 21 2021, 02:11 PM)
used it for almost a year and traded it in for a Note 20. Tbh the first version to me personally had quality issues.
the things that happen for me were the oleophobic coating on inner screen started to fade in about 6 months usage. Can clearly see where i scroll up/down pages with my thumb.

Also, i tend to carry the phone in hand instead of pocket. The spine area somehow reacted to my hand sweat i guess? Started showing signs of discoloration/hakisan. so i figured, better trade in while value still good.

I will say tho the fold2 and 3 has vastly improved on these issues.
*
Thanks for sharing. What do you mean "oleophobic coating on inner screen started to fade in "? Some marks in the screen? Or not getting smooth?

Hi all, anyone using Araree 360 here? It is so hard for me to take off the case. Any guides? The original sealed on the phone already peel off in 10 mins = =
*
What do you mean orginal sealed? seals on edge? mine also removed after testing few cases.

All the cases especially back cover for right side (with camera bump)... Very difficult to take off. Becareful, it scratched the back corner edge of the phone too.. esspecially the black colour. I can see many complaint in Amazon and Forums. Even they said Glass Victus ... but bullshit... can get scratched.

Ringke / Spigen I tested. So difficult to take out. Except the original flip cover easier.


The case supplier should provide TPU type of case... not PC .... The TPU case is rubbery and will not scratch the phone. .... Use TPU with double side tape is better.

Hi All,
Anyone using Fold3 Leather Cover or Fold3 Leather Flip Cover?
I wondering the edge of back cover is PC (polycarbonate) or soft leather? I thinking to buy one with not hard PC that will scratch my phone easily. I have to take on and off the case frequently.

Received mine yesterday. Busy porting all the app over now. Bought the Spigen Tough Armor case but ended up not liking the flap cover for the front screen. Now using the case without the front cover, just on the base cover. Good enough for now. Will go shopping for another official cover later this coming Saturday.
*
Spigen Tough Armor got flap cover? I thought the Samsung original case only got flap cover.

You got ROI rm300. right? Buy phone case maybe. So far I feel like Samsung Official Case still the best. Becareful with other brand those using PC. will scratch your phone easily. Spigen / Ringke ... all using PC ... so dissapointed.

I think Samsung Official Case like Silicone Case / Leather Cover / Leather Flip Cover ... Those are much more better.

I just get leather flip cover with ROI... Ouch! damn expensive. but no choice.

I will try to avoid any PC case... you look at youtube... so many of them could not remove the case after installed.

Whats pc ya..?

I installed ringke....so damn hard to take off..and mostly will scratch the phone too...

Polycarbonates (PC) material. It is hard plastic that can scratch your Glass Victus and phone aluminium edge.

Spigen for Fold3 using TPU and PC. TPU is rubber. Spigen use TPU at the phone edge but the back cover using PC. When you trying to pull off from case, the back cover will still scratch the Victus. So bad case also.

You can see Spigen got cases for other phone like s21u or Iphone. Those are fully TPU which is safe. But not for fold3. sad.gif You can check Amazon reviews ... Spigen case got scratch the Fold3 as well.

I got ringke but not dare to put on it. I know will not easily take out the back cover. Ringke used full PC. That's why much cheaper.

No I am using original flip cover with Spen + Ringke front cover. (Front cover easy to install and will not harm the phone).

QUOTE(chtan @ Oct 26 2021, 04:12 PM)
Yup, exactly. Will be looking for a leather case instead of the hard shell plastic one. This is the main reason I am using only the base cover at the moment, the front cover is too fragile and not really useful in protecting the phone itself.
*
Correct. Front cover perhaps to avoid unexpected drop that might scratch your phone. If drop too high, sure pecah. But better than nothing smile.gif




Fold3 so difficult to get case ... and stupid expensive.

Samsung Official Case is the best for Fold3, although expensive like hell. 3rd party case ... becareful... the hard PC material may scratch your phone when install or remove case.

Lets collect the name and sign for petition. You see singapore forum... Because Samsung delay the shipment and samsung singapore has to give them 2 years samsung care+ warranty as compensation.

We should start this.

You buy fold3? PM me, I got evoucher code for rm850. Not sure you can claim or not. But I can share with you.

My fold 3, I used it for 1 month. No scratch at all on the original screen protector. Not dare to play swipe game. If swipe a lot, may get tiny hair scratch.

I am using original S-Pen flip cover for 1 month now, I also got leather Flip Cover still not opened. I am thinking to swap with leather flip cover. Is leather case really so bad and easier to get scratch compared with spen flip cover?

At last, ditched my Spigen Tough Armor in favor of Samsung's original leather flip cover. Was hunting this all over the place last weekend. Everywhere is sold out. Luckily manage to snatch one from the Sunway Karnival Experience store.
The cover itself is a bit thin compared to tough armor however it does provide protection for the front screen and the hinge. And it does has a small magnet to prevent the flip from accidentally opening.
*
Why ditched your spigen Tough Armor?

I have tried Spigen Slim Armor Pro, but give up also because looks so bulky compared with samsung S-Pen Flip Cover. I have leather flip cover too. Thinking to replace my S-Pen Flip Cover. Not sure worth or not. I like the Leather Flip Cover with 3 things ... 1) case can stand the phone 2)the finger band 3) magnet to prevent flip

ringke slim material is polycarbonate.might scratch the edge when removing the case. not many case use rubber/silicone which not really harmful to the phone body.

uag have rubber material.spigen also polycarbonate if im not mistaken. btw i never like transparent hard cover. it scratch my device since nintendo 3ds and psp era.
*
That's right. Ringke this time use full PC material and the edge very sharp. No good.

Spigen Thin Fit or Slim Armor Pro, at least both using TPU at the edge of the case.

Also can consider Samsung Official case. Although not TPU, but the edge is rounded and not easy to scratch the phone. Like Spen Flip Cover still OK.

Which brand of plastic case scratched the bezel?

Only 1 thing I don't like about the Samsung leather cover, is not much protection to the camera module, it is almost flush so a bit scared to place my phone on a rough surface, otherwise i like it for being quite slim therefore not much added bulk

Agreed. I bought this. Cleared my worry.
