fruitie can I check what was the status shown on your shopee before you collect it at collection point? Mine is showing 'parcel is out for delivery', not sure if its ready for collection or will they specifically say ready for collection etc?

I just realised the cutout for the plateau protector can either be used for lidar or flash. Pick one lol. There is only 1 cutout.

OK, I will. sweat.gif
I think flash will require the cutout.

Just received the package, apparently the cutout hole is for flash (cannot pick lidar or flash, its defaulted for flash, if want cutout on lidar then got to punch hole yourself.

installation was easy (less anxiety than putting tempered glass). mine was not installed to perfection...can see abit of dust trapped but im totally fine coz purpose is only to protect scratches, ill barely look at it...compare to tempered glass if there are bubbles then have to undo till perfection.

Overall, very happy with the outcome, happy to have this film installed, with the phone going in and out of the pocket all day long, just matter of time before scratches miraculously appear on the plateau lol

P/S: it also comes with lens film protector (3 round films) but I ditched that, only want the camera base film..

Final product:

Nice. I think the lens film protector is not meant to be used, it is for us to remove? I'm not sure, I also ditched them.
It looks good right. biggrin.gif So, did you punch a hole? rclxms.gif
Yes, but I don't like the MagSafe ring.
*
Yes it comes with 3 lens film, I korek korek and realize its part of the package lol..but of course yeah we ditch it, or our camera shots gonna be horrendous lol..

I didnt punch hole on the lidar coz its kinda redundant for me, I don't use measuring or any AR related stuffs...(I actually just tried the measuring app to test test, still accurately done, so I think the film doesn't affect anything at all)

Honestly this plateau is a headache to us, imagine phone going in and out of our pocket/bag hundreds of times daily, scratches will eventually appear from no where lol...I think this film is crucial to have...im keeping my 2nd piece for next year's iphone, most likely they will retain the plateau and size for iPhone 18 pros lol

Walao eh techwoven case so nice
*
Yea man its really good, I don't wanna over promote it but this years woven is really really good to the eyes and hands..you gotta see one to feel it...much better than all the silicone and even leathers in the past..im contemplating to get the green one now (purple and black is out of list coz already got navy which is darker shade)..

navy or black, which one look nicer ah
*
for me, navy orange is better than black orange.

brown is probably the best in colour blending coz all the cutouts will expose the phone's orange colour i.e charging port, the side crossbody holders etc.... when looking at phone screen will also notice the phone's orange at the border of the casing...

yea you gotta see the real thing, it hits very different from the pics/video...black also nice but too loud for me.. if you like screaming plateau from far then black would be nice..

Techwoven really looks nice biggrin.gif
How's the button click ?

But no more budget T__T
*
the material is good as well, quite sturdy and durable compared to the silicone/fine woven....buttons are very clicky and tactile..something like their leather case buttons in the past..

the seller often restock, gotta camp for it every now and then... or try other sellers suggested in one of the earlier posts?

fruitie something strike my mind all of a sudden when a friend asks about the camera base film protector adhesive/glue, not sure if it'll do anything to the aluminum material i.e remove the anodize paint when removing the film..or leave permanent mark etc... idk lol i told him its better than living the fear of scratches from putting/removing the phone from pocket all the time...chances of scratching without the film is far greater than film leaving marks/removing paints..

I think it would.. iphone 7 days...I applied dbrand skins on day 1.. when trading in... Switch staff ask me to remove... I removed it... The anodize paint came along... Get deducted few hundred. sad.gif

Since then never buy from Telco or Apple resellers. If u gonna trade in to Apple... Just live free and semi wild 😜!!!
U can order from shopee links I got. I ordered.. waiting for delivery end of this month.
*
DBrand skins for sure will tear the paint off coz the glue is super strong..the adhesive/glue from this alcheapo film is no where close to DBrand’s power…it’s like the screen protector glue we used to get from early iPhone era…so there’s a chance it won’t remove the paint…I used to put dbrand skins too so I know how strong the glue is compared to this..

QUOTE(fruitie @ Sep 23 2025, 06:01 PM)
I think should be OK, we need to have faith in Apple, they surely improve on the material after so many years. I have a feeling it won't have any effect... I will peel off mine a year later before trading-in again if I'm still hardworking to setup my banking apps.
I think can to prevent scratches but tempered glass is stronger. However, once you apply tempered glasses then how to use cases?
*
Yea I think should be ok too…. I just check on the lens film to test the glue, it’s not very sticky actually…the type that won’t stick anymore after removing 1-2 times lol…

I'm looking at a new case now as I don't need to look for one that covers the plateau anymore but don't suggest me Techwoven case please. laugh.gif
I don't know how to justify myself to use a RM 299 case for a year unless I have a discount.  dry.gif
*
Haha not gonna poison u but I really like the tech woven case this year, normally I’ll get a cheapo clear case during launch, or a rm100+ spigen, then few months down the road I’ll get an apple silicone/leather..this year when I saw the real tech woven I couldn’t resist…it ticks all the criteria I was looking for in a case.. immediately grabbed biggrin.gif

QUOTE(vin39 @ Sep 23 2025, 06:25 PM)
Well you know something, after I placed it the first time, I wanted to remove and reposition it again, it was hell! I suppose if I had fingernail it would have been easier I guess. Then I tried with second protector, manatau got small lint trapped inside. although very minute and can't be seen, I really can't tahan so wanted to cabut again. my nightmare restart. so difficult to remove. After done I gave up for the night. Maybe try another day. Luckily I bought extra lol.
*
hmm I didn’t remove or undo the installation, but i took out the 3 lens film to test the glue, it’s very minimal, like a quarter or half the strength of our regular Hoda/amazing thing tempered glass for main display..

QUOTE(fruitie @ Sep 23 2025, 06:27 PM)
Never mind you have 6 chances to do it. laugh.gif We only had two, so gotta be careful. tongue.gif I think it is because of the iPhone material it is difficult to remove not the film itself. hmm.gif
*
Hmm I think the film cutting is quite precise leaving not much space at the plateau border…making it harder to remove unless we have long nails…

I think machines gardens or MV have display unit but only in Blue…good enough to feel the material and test test..and they are not wired so you can even put your phone in to test the real thing..

shockk, actually you are the main culprit. Secretly, I was attracted to the photo you took of the black casing. Sigh.

You guys made me spend unnecessarily. Sigh.

laugh.gif

Wahhh you pulled the trigger before even seeing the real thing! What if you don't like it? laugh.gif

Im actually abit skeptical with the shopee 'Apple Flagship Store' seller, I asked them in the past where are these items from, which store etc, their reply was 'we are online base and we don't own any shops', then I was like if no store then why say flagship store, also labeled as Authorised reseller..but no store/shop is abit sus.. They don't seem happy being questioned and gave me attitude, cant justify and brush me off...so I avoided this shop...I don't think they scam based on their ratings, but where these items come from is questionable...how authentic the items are is another thing....

Finally, I had the time to unbox it. First impression, it looks good and fine. Then, when I popped it in as usual the MagSafe animation came up. Then I saw it exposes the orange sides, I was like hey this is nice. But the more I look at the sides now, I am not sure if it will affect me watching YouTube or Netflix experience. Do you guys like it?

Wow very nice colour.
Yes I had the same issue with my blue woven, the back is nice but the front highlighting orange border is abit annoying tbh, I switched back to sienna and never use the blue for now…sienna front blends in well (also the charging port and 2 extra holes at the corner exposing the contrast)

I guess I missed your feedback. laugh.gif Or I probably read it but thinking it won’t bother me because I thought I won’t buy one!

He did mention due to 8x camera and also snappier animation or something compared to 16PM.

Yes, just need time to get used to it. I was using a clear case earlier so I didn’t really notice it. laugh.gif

Yeah, he did and he mentioned he unboxed it. I could do it if I wanted to but the black color was my first choice because I’m afraid people can’t see I’m using an orange color phone. laugh.gif
First month if I’m not wrong. Anyway, this time there were also discounts if used certain bank cards to pre-order.  sweat.gif

I think black is nice, no need to return if you really like the colour contrast. The front orange line will be fine after a while…

No need to wait if you can camp Apple Store online every morning. Opt for self pick up, and you can get it immediately.

I saw the camera plauteu blueo u got. RM20 is good buy if u ask me cause it comes with the alignment right? It’s sold out everywhere, even Blueo taobao official store.

Dikae and fruitie version, seems like self apply and if you good at it, it works.
There, there, I can only give u hugs
*
Not hard to self apply tbh, for alignment - left side masuk all 3 lens lubang, right side masuk flash lubang = 100% accuracy there…

More challenging on the dust part, just fill up all the space with sticker or cello tape, then pull out lens protector, immediately remove all sticker, and slap it on the plateau…(I did this but still got 2 dust trapped but I’m not OCD so I accepted as it is)

QUOTE(soitsuagain @ Sep 26 2025, 10:05 PM)

I just noticed my tempered glass is above the protective border of the casing. I am not sure if this is going to look good in case of falling on asphalt or face down.
*
It’s ok to be above the casing, display is still well protected, if crack or cannot tahan scratches in the future, just get a new one…
