Digi Postpaid 38 is a better plan for me as I also have TuneTalk 10GB/mo. which hardly finished.

Does any Sifu here knows how to download Good Lock ?
*
You can try using a VPN and connect to a US server (or a server in a Good Lock supported country) as described by a forumer a few pages back. Or it could be faster and less painful to download NiceLock (from Play Store) and its NiceLock Downloader Companion (open Nice Lock app after install, go to XDA support thread to download this app as it cannot be downloaded from the Play Store) to download, install and configure Good Lock modules.

My collection of (mostly) cheap and nasty cases, purchased from Shopee and Lazada (I got one more cheap one on the way, so not shown here, but looks like a super cheap version of item D)

user posted image

My thoughts on each case:
A
Second most expensive after item C. Plain smooth plastic, no patterns on back cover. Easy to snap on and remove. Makes the phone look like a real cheap whore.

B
Most expensive of the lot at > RM100, purportedly made in Korea. Faux leather, one piece "book-type" case which covers entire phone. Criss-cross pattern. A real biatch to put on and remove as the sides are made of thick plastic and you may lose a fingertip or two when trying to remove it, not to mention your phone may go flying if you are a bit over-enthusiastic while removing the case.

But this is the most practical of the cases here and my favourite as it really covers the entire phone. When opened, the front flap will cover the front screen when you hold the phone like a book, thus avoiding even more fingerprints, grease, and undesirable other-whatnots on the front screen. The case gives a good grip. Protects the phone when in a pocket or bag full of keys or other objects which may damage the screen.

Downsides are that it makes a thick phone even thicker. The cutout for the microphone at the bottom next to the USB-C port is not aligned 100%. The felt-ish material on the inside front cover attracts dust like a whorehouse attracts oil rig workers coming ashore after 2 years at sea. Oh, and did I mention it's a pain in the behind to put on and remove?

Search for "araree fold 2" in Lazada for this case.

C
Cheapest of the lot and it shows. No front frame. Easy to put on and remove. Shows the colour of your phone because it's transparent. Not really practical, I bought it just for shits and giggles.

D
Comes with front frame and back cover supposedly made of real leather. Smells like real leather to me too, but my olfactory senses aren't what they used to be 30 years ago. Easy to put on and remove as the sides are made out of thinner plastic compared to item B.

Downsides are that the front frame is thick (see third and last pictures) and therefore touching and swiping edges of the front screen is going to be an exercise in patience.

I got items A, C and D from Shopee, just do a search for "fold2" or "fold 2", new items are added daily, and prices can fluctuate a bit too.

Finally, put a protector on the back camera lens bump. While case B may protect the entire phone, the camera lens still need protection if you plan on putting the phone on the surface.

Hope this helps those who are looking for their "perfect" case.

I've already stopped babying my Fold 2. New case from VRS Design shipping out on 7th Oct. Got a waterproof, padded neoprene on the inside pouch from Amazon from Onejoy.

Even installed Youtube Vanced from vanced.app . Started customizing wallpapers, static or live video from WallPix, got a promo code for Pro edition of WallPixfor free. I wanted so badly to buy and install Civilization VI, that game will be glorious slavnyy on the large unfolded screen of the Fold 2,...... but device not supported. There are other ways of getting CivVI on the Fold , thinking if I should do so.....

Not sure. There will be 10.10, 11.11, 12.12 and Christmas New Year sale on every online shopping platform. Samsung may include this device as on sale, who knows.

I have it from my previous Samsung phones. Honestly speaking I have a lot of USB A-C cables due to last time hunting for 'compatible' cables just to make my Android Auto worked. But Samsung one is the most flexible and compatible for Android Auto on my Samsung phones.

Sure it will one. If you wait for Apple to drop prices then that takes some time. Samsung or any other Android phones will definitely go under sale with a bit of discount if you're willing to wait. Only early adopters pay for full price.

I bought mine from SenQ and it comes with additional 2-year warranty FOC, and i didn't pay full price either. SenQ points, Maybank Treat Points and i got it at a very good price. Otherwise i think I'd wait as well.

Given by Samsung to their corporate clients or thru Samsung staff...

If you have friends/family working in any of the big telcos or partner SES companies or some of the big MNCs/GLCs then they might be entitled the the Corporate EPP.

Samsung management staff might even get a better deal...wink.gif
