Any suggestion for prepaid esim that works with fold 2? Preferable the ones that doesn't use Celcom backbone as their network. After the last outage i want to diversify so that i dont lose connectivity whatsoever.

Also preferably, prepaid sim that doesn't require going to a store to set up. I notice, Yoodo and XOX allows esim setup wholly by their apps, but they use Celcom as their backbone network.

None others. Digi best suits me but need to go to Digi Store to apply/reapply.

Im using Yoodo, XOX, Tunetalk and the only reason i need other than Celcom piggyback is certain place in my area Celcom network is really bad. The outage few days ago really shocked me and lucky i have backup which is Digi.

Im using YES for iPad Pro, this telco is better than Digi IMO but lack of supported phones and bad in rural areas. Their speed always faster for me, no buffer.

Another note on Yoodo, i had use esim on my XR previously and i sold the phone. I need it to be in physical sim as the phone no esim only dual sim (Redmi K30 Racing Edition). It's really easy, just order blank sim card, arrived in 2 days than register the blank sim with my number. Done in a jiffy. Yoodo really takes a step ahead in esim and app department.

After 16 days using the phone naked, today arrived el cheapo cases. I might use only back case later as when using the front screen, it feels small with that casing borders. Too thick too.

Since the internal screen is easier to get greasy and need delicate thing to wipe with, i have to bring this microfiber cloth everywhere. Usually just use wearing shirt to wipe. Last time on Z Flip, had 1 nail scratch, maybe happened when i open it with one hand. This time need to be really careful.

Me also just received the cheap cover today. Tried to put on the front cover because I already have the aramid cover on the back.
The profile of the frame is so thick and near the edge of the screen, making swipe-in gesture for BACK literally impossible, either from left or right side. Same goes to the edge panel for multitasks.

As a result, have to give up using this case that makes life more difficult. Now waiting for another case that was recommended in reddit to ship from China. So hard to find a suitable front cover. Samsung really should have made the cover together with the front screen part and not left us with the phone protected half way... doh.gif

Ya too thick swiping need to be precise. Defeat the purpose to easily use with one hand.

I suppose you meant number 1:

1) open camera with cover screen> tap top right corner > unfold > take selfie using rear camera looking at cover screen

2) open camera with inner screen > tap top left corner > ask someone take photo for you while having a preview on cover screen (no capture button)

Yeah I mean how to do number 1 while using the inner screen? Instead of folded the phone and turn on camera and unfold again to activate.

Finally got my Samsung black leather case, the leather texture is nice to the touch. The case is good enough for me offering protection at the back of phone with raised camera cut out.

Don't think you can do number 1 without starting from cover screen, so yea, fold and unfold again. Or you can do number 2 and use hand gesture (show give me 5 to the camera) to capture selfie yourself since the cover screen have no shutter button for you to press that way.

Ok Samsung CS just called me regarding all the warranty available from them.

- 1 year inner screen protection is FREE (Redeemable via Samsung app; if broke still need to pay RM600 as full price is almost 2K)
- 1 year extended warranty is RM580 (Certain hardware that need to be repair or replace still need to pay some like screen above)
- 1 year back glass replacement is RM95 (Valid for 1 month from phone purchase date to buy this service)

Combo RM1645 (Valid for 6 months from phone purchase date to buy this service)
- 1 year inner screen protection
- 1 year extended warranty
- 1 year front and back glass protection
- 1 year theft protection

Will pin this in 1st post later

Worth it?
For me not worth at all. As it only valid for 1 year. Im going to use this phone until fully damage laugh.gif

Not worth the money if one is a careful user. For those "careless" users then maybe worth tongue.gif

Careless owner shouldnt be using this phone at all or to minimize the damage they need to use tank case

As this phone really delicate even nail will scratch it laugh.gif

Extended warranty seems fair to me. 2 years and only pay some money if repaired/replaced some hardware.

Not worth it. What is a warranty if it doesn't cover the cost of repairing them? The amount you're paying them for these service, I see it as the charge to repair them. Looking at my usage pattern, I dont need them. Diusclaimer again, this is my own usage case again, before another guy gets angry at what I post. I look at that cost being the cost you'd most likely pay if you send the damaged Fold for repair. Might as well, pay when needed, if there arent any need to pay them, I'm not forking out a single ruble/sen.

The only way I's fork out for extended warranty if Malaysia has Samsung Care + like in Europe or US, where they repair everything (minus inner screen, extra charges for that), no questions asked, no extra charges. These "ala carte" warranty Samsung Malaysia is offering, I might as well pay when needed for repair. Looking at how I baby the phone extra carefully compared to my previous phone, with luck and care, touch wood, hopefully I will not have to worry about the warranties until way later in the life of the Fold ownership.

https://shopee.com.my/Samsung-Galaxy-Z-Fold...3941.7051654616

This case is by far the most consistent for swipe in gesture, but he didn't demonstrate for the edge panel in this video.
I will post the reddit link below if anyone is interested in reading up, though I'm not sure is it violating the forum rule.
The case seems abundant in shopee but not sure are all the same or just grabbed the same thumbnails. The symbolic spot of the case is the "AI Autofocus" wording on the camera cover portion.

Yeah I've been lurking in Reddit GalaxyFold subreddit, saw that case. My contention with other cases is that they're plain, but they're unobtrusive and work without blocking swipes. My case is that I prefer cases with character, not the "me-too"dozens of cases from China that looks the same. I'd rather chuck my Fold 2 into a pouch and keep it that way, than put these generic cases.

I need cases with character, which is why I gravitated towards the VRS cases, they look steampunk-ish, and looked like it could come out from Star Wars or something. If I'm hiding my Fold underneath thick cases, I prefer it to have unique character. That's just me. Don't kill me. Just sad that the VRS case blocks swipe -in, and the most recent defect, this: https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyFold/comment...s_case_warning/ , paint chipping from inside section of the case. Looks really bad.

I've been starting to look for alternatives in Shopee, but none strikes me as worthwhile enough to replace the Aramid I have. I had so much high hope for VRS case. sad.gif

ALMOST bought a VRS with kickstand from singapore site as it is the fastest we can get on hand due to neighboring country, but called off in the end because they only have silver colour and I dont like bright colour for the phone.
I want to have a front case while keeping the Aramid but too bad there is unlikely a case that is good and style matching with the Aramid unless Samsung finally decide to do us the favor. I would pay for it even though it's rip off to have to pay for front and back cover separately dry.gif ...
