walnut case bro. do share how does the aramid fiber texture is.. worried is woven/fabric type, since the aramid is fiber, and can shred if owes rub again sharp edges.
*
The Walnut one looks nice. Yeah I’ll share once i have it but reading their ‘story’ about the carbon fibre part, its similar to Kevlar so its more durable than normal fibre. But if it does have issues, I will bring it up to them - lifetime warranty yo tongue.gif

Exactly why I hesitate spending so much on Apple's original leather case laugh.gif
Winning comment!
Oh ya man, one of the highlights of my new phone ownership experience is meeting him at McD Sri Damansara, letting him professionally apply screen protector to my phone while I look at the selection of cases in his inventory smile.gif

Ahh, those were the good old pre-Covid days!!
*
Haha never met him before because I always install it myself - TG are super easy to install. But I once bought a Whitedome TG from him and he explained to me in detail on the installation process. Patient fella notworthy.gif

wisteria vs sequoia - this iPhone Studio site allows you to mix and match specific iPhone models with cases

Same goes for Nomad's leather case. They will tell you its part of the "characteristics" of the leather and you should "appreciate" the beauty of its ageing process.
*
Appreciate the Patina effect please?

But sorry la, it always trigger my OCD if i see a scratch on my Nomad case. The Horween leather seems more delicate vs other leather. Now it’s just sitting in the box, maybe will sell it soon. Sigh.

13's model not yet released.

But 12's ada.

Lemme link you. See you can appreciate or not.

I like RIMOWA suit cases / luggages. So I guess the casing is a must have thing.

https://www.rimowa.com/au/en/accessories/

I do have other alternatives to look at, but so far this is the cheapest outta the premium ones.

Ok now I see your point - the black or green ones look really good!

Question - based on your past experience pre-ordering directly from Apple Malaysia, any possibilities that they will send the phone sooner than the mentioned ETA provided by them? First time ordering from Apple Malaysia. Thank you.
*
Send sooner than the ETA, yes it happens but only if its after the launch embargo date. Meaning, if Malaysia’s launch is 8th, you won’t be getting it before the 8th.


QUOTE(ben3003 @ Oct 1 2021, 05:14 PM)
yeah their warranty is top notch man. really salute them. no question asked at all. I know if is like normal carbon fibre plate, it is woven and cured, it will be like a hard plate. if it is not cured, just woven, i worry la lol. cos like kevlar, its strength is resist impact, but not cut. anyway i took wood case cos really love their walnut. I will be getting sierra blue tho.

might get 1 apple leather case seeing that the sequoia green looks really nice on sierra blue!

my next accessories would be magsafe charger tho. still thinking which to get. seems like ugreen did came out with 14w charger around rm70-80. apple official one lowest can find is around rm138 from gstore.
*
Make sense, will share my thoughts once I have it.

Magsafe charger is very handy, I use it to charge my phone and my AirPods Pro - but either one (Apple or UGreen) will work the same, depending on which one you wanna splurge.

My DBrand Glass arrived a week before my phone tongue.gif

The presentation case is really on point - an impulse purchase since I was getting a skin for my laptop.

Nice bro..is it easy to diy? and whats the damage? if I remember correctly the laptop skin was the turning point of you changing your mind to get ip13 this year right? tongue.gif
*
I usually DIY my own tempered glass, been doing this for many years - don’t like the idea of people touching my phone (OCD). Need to know if the cloth they are using are free from debris etc lol.

Yeah I bought the TG without deciding if I wanted the 13PM - and yeah eventually it became a reality. tongue.gif

Wahh salute bro for the skills to install own TG, that’s the one thing that i probably never get good at..
Haha ini sure kena poison kaw kaw biggrin.gif

Just require a few rounds of practice. But honestly, TG is way easier to install vs plastic film of the past.

QUOTE(tsg_7 @ Oct 2 2021, 12:12 PM)
What's the damage of this dbrand TG + shipping?
*
The TG is $19.90 for 2pcs. Free shipping above $25, so just add a skin and you’re good to go.

Wow, that's really fast, haha... I've never bought a DBrand before - not a skins kinda guy laugh.gif
I've learned the art of installing tempered glass during the past year and half of MCO with physical shops like Ninjaz not allowed to open, hahaha. Of course, the tempered glass I've been buying and installing all costs less than RM5 and I buy in bulk from Shopee so if I screw up, I just get a new one and start over, hahaha.. If I'm spending RM30 and above then of course I'd have the shop to install for me biggrin.gif

Speaking of which I was out buying groceries earlier and I dropped by machines to ask if they have started selling any iPhone 13 accessories. They said not allowed to until the 8th laugh.gif

A skin comes in handy for laptops and iPads.

I own a Razer Blade laptop and it’s a fingerprint magnet - skin helps to prevent that. For iPad, its for the Magic Keyboard - at least you wont have dirt / grime on it. Delicate surface haha.

I’ve decided to splurge on this - the Belkin Boost Charge Pro 3 in 1 charger.

Over the past year of only using the MagSafe puck to charge my device, I noticed the metal surface around it eventually left marks / scars on my casing, this one has a soft material that doesn’t leave any mark so hopefully will be able to maintain my leather case this time round.

I already bought cheapo tempered glass from Shopee to DIY first. When the madness has died down and there's shorter queues at Apple Resellers I will visit a machines branch to get them to install a Hood tempered glass for me smile.gif
It's strange that maxis asks you to pay a deposit. Is it a maxis exclusive partner a.k.a. dealer outlet?
Yup, carbon fibre is the one I'm eyeing too. Unfortunately Rhinoshield cases don't come with MagSafe sad.gif Just thinking if I'm gonna spend RM150 or so on a case might as well have MagSafe on it.
I find it strange they would charge you on something that is no fault of yours. You can probably threaten them to report this to the authorities if indeed you can't find a buyer to help you.

Lai Mous Mous waiting for you, Aramid Fibre tongue.gif

MagSafe is important, you’ll never know when you’ll need it - if you don’t have already.

Shipping might take awhile if you opted for the standard one. Can’t wait to get mine soon.

Anyone use Magsafe wallet before? How secure is the magnet connection?

I have one, the magnets are strong - strong enough to remain firm when moving around (walking) etc.

The new Magsafe Wallet (2021) has Find My feature, so if you dropped it can locate it. Mine don’t have that feature, sadly.

Oh ok, nice. Didn't know they were taking reservations this year. In the meantime, they have billed my credit card so I think my order is confirmed. Was worried they might figure out I still have existing contract and would cancel my order, hahaha smile.gif
Ya, wanna use MagSafe with a car mount this year. Mous still very expensive though, hehehe...
There's quite a number of Spigen look-alike on Shopee too - much cheaper. I bought one for my iPhone 11 that costs less than RM20 laugh.gif
Yup, always been the case with iPhones - I remember it being a big controversy during the iPhone 7 days with the base model being 32GB. The base model will always have inferior transfer speed - but yup, you'll only notice it if you're editing and moving huge video files around or so.
*
Yeah Mous abit on the high side - abit like Casetify’s pricing.

MagSafe is so useful. I wonder what you feel about trickle charge whenever you mount it in your car - I personally dont like to charge my phone in between the day.

ahlin Any updates on your leather case?

Mine seems to be stuck in Singapore since Sunday - DHL said that will deliver on the said date (7th) not earlier, wonder if there’s any embargo on the new leather cases.

From what I know, Morphie or Belkin are recommended by Apple.

Now I think the cases I bought not magsafe case. Need to consider it again.
I like the convenience of not needing to cucuk the lightning port when in car. can just stick it and it will charge.
oooo, that's weird. but as long payment success i think ok already. Good luck to us receiving on 8th! countdown 3 more days only smile.gif
These are not wireless charger, it the plug wired one smile.gif
Actually my first time buying Aukey. haha, i saw someone else posted in this thread about aukey, and since i don't have any usb-c charger at home, decide get 2 sets for the house. biggrin.gif

Yeah once you step into the world of MagSafe, life will be less cluttered. Perhaps wanna get a MagSafe case and you will have less cables running in tight spaces like your car etc.

Their courier service is Line Clear.

Line Clear reminds me of the Nasi Kandar in Penang 😂

Joke aside, glad to see some movements from telcos especially Digi and Celcom. Only left Maxis 🥲
