I guess postage is faster than self pick-up. 😅
I read self pick-up even a week still unable to collect.
*
Delivery is faster for same day delivery, if not just go to store and buy directly from them.

Yea but actually the discount is not really a lot also

Here's a tip, sign up for an account and set your birthday in December, that entitles you to another USD10/RM40+ discount.

Use it on 1 Dec..

I initially thought of getting blue but now might try red or green smile.gif
Yeah it’ll take some time before you’ll get used to it. How’s the battery life so far?
I think he’ll do one when we reach V2 - the thread here is moving relatively slower than the Pro/Pro Max thread laugh.gif
Nice! Never tried Rhinoshield before, always stuck to Spigen or UAG, hahaha. Will consider trying this smile.gif
*
I always use UAG but I want to try RhinoShield for once.

I bought this with Switch RM100 off promo. Wanted to buy a simple Spigen case but it was OOS. No harm trying something new haha.
I was left with black, white and green to choose. So, green is kind of special here.
*
Oh, ok. Personally I don't think Spigen offers good protection.

Black and white is normal, green is unique..

Any iPhone 12 owners here got the screen problem with greenish tint?

Any examples of it? Mine no issues so far.

QUOTE(attw @ Nov 25 2020, 09:48 AM)
Have you tried Apple's original cases or plan to?
*
I did last time but not now, the leather is tempting but I prefer Nomad because it has protection as well.

I never considered Apple cases coz of two factors - they are expensive and the bottom part is exposed. Now that the bottom part is fully covered, but the price is still expensive laugh.gif
*
Yeah, that's true but it didn't stopped people buying from them because not everyone will plan in advance to buy cases and SP and get them on the spot.

Fortunate no issue so far.
Spigen Ultra Hybrid offer pretty good protection. Always my go to case.
Divide the price with usage month, that will bring down the cost.  whistling.gif
*
I go through the case reviews and choose from there because I tend to get clumsy with my phone.

If you say so, we can also divide the price with usage month for non Apple cases..

Good that you went through review and chose the best case you preferred. thumbup.gif

To determine which is the best, do research haha.

Hahaha, I don't do that coz I normally upgrade my iPhone yearly laugh.gif
Usually my budget for phone case is not more than RM150 - although the nicer leather ones are all above that threshold.
*
Leather cases that are below RM150 aren't usually pure leather.

RhinoShield Solid Suit leather isn't pure leather I think.

Nomad is the best you can get below RM200 for good leather..

Anyone using the uag plasma cases for their 12?

I feel like my current uag civilian is too thick for my liking. Maybe the plasma would fit better since it feels thinner on my n10.
*
I used Plasma for my S7 and iPhone 7, the grip is pretty good and not too thick.

12 mini or 11 better? Currently using 7 plus, but I noticed 12 mini battery is smaller.

Unfortunately my budget not able to get the standard 12.

Should i get the latest 12 mini or 11?
*
12 mini because it's a newer chip but smaller battery than 11.

12 mini - OLED screen, newer chip, MagSafe, better camera

11 - bigger size, IPS screen

So, it depends on what user you are, heavy or light user..

Just get 12 mini. I compared my 12 with my sis 11. The 11 is quite bad. I cant stand the IPS screen with the thicker bezel. Once u compared IPS with OLED side by side u’ll know what i mean. Camera also bad if u use wide angle a lot. If u want go for 11 series, need to get the 11 Pro. 11 is a total rip off by Apple. Lucky this year they didn’t do that for the 12 & 12 mini.
*
Good thing they didn't do it to 12 and 12 Pro too.

Same size but slightly different specs.

Ya, I went with 12 because the RM800 difference is not a trivial amount for me.
