Previously bought a Ringke Fusion case for my S21 Ultra. So far so good, but my concern is that the camera part is not covered at all, leaving it prone to scratches.

Shall wait for a 3rd party casing with S Pen holder so I can reuse my old S Pen from Note 8.
*
I am using Ringke Fusion Matte and camera part not covered is my big concern also. Have you try to install camera tempered glass? I am getting one to give a try.

hey guys, would love to get your opinion here on few items for my S21 Ultra

1. Hydrogel SP

Clear vs Matte (i play games, MLBB to be exact, and currently still using the original SP since i'm unable to decide which SP to go to, but yes clear type kinda attract lots of fingerprints after gaming)

X-One Stealth 3 vs Goozilla Matte 3 vs Rockspace - which one is better? I know pricing wise Goozile is higher, would love some experience sharing here
2. Casing

- Currently using Ringke Fusion X, however looking forward to Spigen Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G Case Liquid Air (Pen Edition) --> i plan to get the S Pen in future and this is the only 3rd party case which i think looks legit and affordable compared to Samsung's

Do you guys have any recommendation on casing? With or without S-Pen, would love to hear your experiences too =)

3. Unrelated to phone, but anyone have experience with Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro?

- currently using Sony WF1000XM3, but a little annoyed with the size and bulkyness, and seems like Buds pro fits well in overall
- worth to sell my Xm3 for Buds Pro?  tongue.gif

I used Rockspace Clear type on my n20u. It is clear but rubbery. The problem is, it is soft and the edge of SP easily lifted by my ringke/spigen case. Maybe the cutting not too good as well. I will still prefer original SP instead of install this type.

For casing, i am getting Samsung original silicone cover. Looks promising and also it covered the camera parts. This is the only one I found so far. Hope it works good once received.

QUOTE(badboy77 @ Feb 15 2021, 03:02 PM)
I pre order the liquid air with s pen slot from spigen website. But still not yet ship. Think it's pre order.
*
May I know when I can place order? Malaysia got spigen website?

yesterday midnight samsung just restock
i am order on it
now checking which tempered glass and screen protector

Why not use the original SP. It is nice and good. Also after removed, you wouldnt find it else where to install back this type of plastic SP.

For sure no fingerprint scan problem, compatible with every phone case.

Can't stand the poison,any place can order s21 u black colour with discount?

1. SES --- Best offer I think.. provided you willing to pay by installment and waived 1st month of 12 month installment. with PWP as well... buy cheaper casing or others.
2. Senheng online
3. Courts

I think Shopee and Lazada got few selling with 4999 now ... but I prefer to walk in to get the phone.

If you going to use casing, not need to pick black, but pick black casing instead.

Ses mean Samsung store right,i notice that promotion few day ago but i did call a branch near ipoh but they insist first month need to pay 5%more and no such promotion

2 yes seng heng selling 4899 but black out of stock will get it if they restock before the promo end
*
Huh... They cheating, is it? Try to call other branch and see. The installment is based on Bank.... Urban Republic also offered same to me. Just they dont give me extra 1 yr screen crack warranty (only extended 1 yr warranty) ... So I go for SES.

If black is important to you, then a bit difficult to fine. I found some pre-order from Samsung official website, just get their device few days back. So very bad and poor delay.

Today noon went to Goozilla tech bought and installed their sp. Feels almost like the original factory sp that came with the phone, gloss/hydrogel type sp but I noticed a little bit clearer display. I changed to this one bcs the factory sp already got many minor scratches, easily. (I always put phone in my pocket pants fyi)

No problem when put on case (currently using samsung silicone case), no peel off whatsoever. Front cam also covered with the sp, and when cam is covered with something on top of it, for sure the quality also reduced a bit. Noticed micro blurry kind of image after snap photos. Same goes to rear cam which they offered for free if bought combo package.

So far quite happy and satisfied.

Thanks for sharing. For the rear camera lens, since you have silicone case, do you really need to have SP?

Hey guys.  I'm looking to get a s21 ultra. Have you guys faced any overheating issues as mentioned by a lot of people?
*
All phones got heating problem when introduced with 120hz screen resolution, bro. Playing game lagi teruk... Unless you willing set to 60Hz.

Also depends on which phone you compare with.... overall this just nice phone. Please read more review from youtube. In fact the exynos2100 cooler than snapdragon888 for certain situation and certain games.

Sorry let me rephrase. I'm referring to the overheating even with mild use. For e.g. web browsing, or record video for few min, or use camera for few min.
*
Yes... because 120hz ... you scroll up and down when browsing.... software tells temperature around 35-36deg celcius...

Camera even higher due to AI.... maybe it can be disabled.

The is trade off when we looking for good advanced phone. Perhaps, go to mid class of phone wont have this heating issue.

Personally user doesn't need to apply sp for rear cam because it will effect the photos/videos quality. From my naked eye when testing capture few photos after applied goozilla sp, I can noticed the sharpness has reduced a little bit. As for now I still not peel the sp for rear cam yet. But I will. smile.gif
*
Thanks. I am thinking the same. Especially you have original Samsung Silicone Cover which I think is pretty good to cover from scratch already if compared to other casing which left the entire camera module exposed for scratch.

I am using Ringke Fusion that really make me worry. I have ordered Samsung Silicone Cover and waiting for it now. smile.gif

Yes, true. Btw which color you bought..?

Black.. I like s21u black also. But due to out of stock, 2nd reason easier get scratch because it is coating black... so I pick silver. I believe when I put on black case, it still will stunning like phantom black. tongue.gif

Ok last tempered glass update from me.
The FP sensor was starting to act very finicky and fussy with me and got a bit annoying to use.
Decided to attempt to install a new one and this time use the coin block method.
Short story my attempt to install a new TG failed due to a tiny piece of dust somehow getting into the glue before I dropped the TG sweat.gif
So gave up on TG, proceeded with using the screen naked.
FP sensor speed = amazing now. Am satisfied and will probably continue using it naked from now tongue.gif might claim screen warranty before the time is up
*
UV Glue TG sometimes might gives problem to FP sensor and it is expensive. It is risky as well sometimes accidentally lifted by casing, then will not close gap anymore. Thanks for your sharing.
Like other said, maybe you can try Hydrogel/silicone type such as Rockspace or X.one. I tried Rockspace clear type, not bad actually ... just cross finger it is compatible with casing. Anyway it is cheaper because I managed to get RM30 for 2pcs last time from Ipoh seller.

QUOTE(silrave @ Feb 17 2021, 12:16 AM)
hmm really ?
why i also order ringke fusion x
oo
i think before
but this round black like nicer
i order rockspace screen protector
wait the phone come and test
*
Maybe is my personal opinion that the camera module is not safe. In fact it is aluminium and not easy to scratch. But if it is black, I am not dare to comment as I watch Jerry's video actually he scratched it and black color coating came out.

For camera lens, I have no idea what material glass it is.. If it is sapphire, then should be good without protection. Waiting for someone to tell me.

QUOTE(alister88 @ Feb 17 2021, 01:22 AM)
Hi there, Im planning to get S21U along with T-Max TG(cheaper option compared to Whitestone) and Ringke Fusion X Case(one of the cheapest and good quality casing Ive used so far).
But after reading feedbacks from fellow users, noticed that Ringke doesn't cover the camera properly and that makes me wanna get a TG for the camera.
Planning to keep the phone for at least 2 to 3 years before changing to a newer model in the future.  laugh.gif

Some questions,

1. Does those camera TG affect the photo quality? Couldn't find any camera reviews with the TG installed. I found Whitestone TG for camera, not sure if it's better compared to other cheaper ones.
https://shopee.com.my/Whitestone-Dome-Glass...2192.6677329543

2. Anyone using T-Max + Ringke Cases? Does the TG peel off?
So far I've been using T-Max(almost a year) and Whitestone(lasted me for 2 years) with Ringke Case on my S9+, everything works well. Not sure if it's the same for S21U.

3. Does TG really affect the thumb scan badly? I was checking thru youtube vids and seems like there are few of them working quite well but couldn't find it locally on Shopee.  sweat.gif
My friend was using T-Max TG on her S10 and that's the only TG that can do thumb scan after trying few TG from Ninjaz & Gadget Tech.

4. Any other alternative/recommended TG/SP for the phone?

Wanna get the accessories ready before getting the phone..  laugh.gif

Thanks and Cheers! thumbup.gif

To comment on camera TG, I believe for sure the quality of photo will be affected once installed... maybe very minimum if get good one. I bought one LEEU brand and will give a try. Please take note camera TG might give problem to casing which actually I notice most casing spigen/ringke/samsung ... did cover at least edges of camera module. Except ESR brand TPU casing which doesnt touch the camera module at all.
I will try LEEU brand camera TG. and hope it will not give me problem with my ringke fusion or samsung silicone cover. The TG must be thin enough not to conflict with casing..

Bro, you got ESR TPU casing (with stand)? what do you mean by it doesn't touch the camera module at all? is it a good or bad thing? lol

I ordered one but not yet arrived which makes me worry if it doesn't protect the camera module at all.

For samsung silicone case though it kinds of hide the whole back design of s21u 😅 I think only samsung made cases got such design right, including the leather case and silicone case with spen...which hides the camera module exposing only the camera lens. Coz all other cases (spigen/ringke/rhinoshield/etc) I noticed only creates a bump to provide sufficient protection for the cameras.

See above ESR TPU casing didnt touch the camera module edge, so you are safe to install camera TG or any protector.

Not like Ringke, it got cover the edge of camera module, sounds better protection but will have problem to install camera TG or any camera protector. This is the problem I am having now.
Protect the edge of camera module is not good enough for me.

Now S21 Ultra has brown colour.... the camera looks prettier. But I doubt Malaysia has it.
