damn , that totally a good deal , they even FOC the ANC version ! Hopefully you wont get cancellation order in last minutes.

This was actually my 2nd order. My 1st order was with TMT and had an estimated shipping date starting from 19th Sept, however, due to a payment issue, the system automatically canceled the order.
I almost gave up, but later I checked again and saw that UR restocked. The AirPods were offered as a PWP item for RM50. Luckily, I had a Lazada secret voucher worth RM54, so in the end, I only paid RM5,995. Anyway the ETA shipping date is from 3rd Oct.

Why order from their website when you can order from their shopee official shop with all the amazing vouchers? Lol I sound like a shopee promoter now.

Because the case i want don't have stock, and i check the price it is more expensive than Pitaka online shop, furthermore the shipping to Malaysia is FOC.

Too bad Amazon doesn’t have the case I want either. But after checking the Pitaka online store, I found that the case I want costs USD 54 after the discount (-USD15.99).

Speaking about QC matters, understand that the rear piece of ceramic glass on the phone is glued to the aluminum body. However, the edges of the ceramic glass don’t always sit perfectly flush with the aluminum frame. I have checked several demo units at the Apple TRX, a few had perfect alignment, some are not, usually at the top edge . My own unit has a slightly recessed top edge where the glass sits a little bit lower than the surrounding body. That said, it’s not a major issue for me since I’ll be using a case anyway.

Nice Rhinoshield user (first seeing here)

Does the magsafe magnet like stick into the hole of the case?
Cause my ModNX on iPhone 14 Pro last time, bottom magnet glue like weakening, hence whenever i remove the case for cleaning, the small magnet will stick onto the phone itself. But that time they got bundle with this scratchguard back film so i'm not really scare my phone back getting scratch.

Thinking of getting RS Clear Ash Black but still worry the magnet dislocate
Should be arriving this week but then i probably will return it cause i decided to get the metal cloth (铁布衫) in the end as stated above.

Actually i have not installed the case yet, waiting for other case to be arrived, but i don’t think it will, i watched some reviews the case on the previous 16pm, no complaints from the reviewers, nevertheless i will keep an eye on it.

Hopefully it fixed somehow or maybe mine just that part's of glue weakening.
Will try to snap a photo when i get home.

But i really feel like to grab Clear Ash Black XD

You order yours from RS official site ?

There are few sellers in Shopee inclusing RS official store, but i ordered from the seller named GT Tech due to his price is slightly cheaper, i bought a Nomad case from him previously for my 15PM.

Just to share my humble and simple review of the screen protector from 'Autumn Valley Rabbit' (秋谷兔3D冰雕钢化膜AR) after watched the review video from Chinese reviewer.

The installation process is very straightforward, just place the phone in the aligning frame, pull off the protective layer, press the screen gently, and remove the phone. It covers almost the entire screen, leaving just enough tolerance for the phone case.

Compared to the cheapo Ugreen screen protector on my currently still in use iPhone 15 Pro Max, this one feels much smoother around the edges due to the curve. As for the AR feature, I don’t have the equipment to test it, but I can see light reflection is noticeably reduced compared to the Ugreen, can see a slight yellowish under LED lighting.

Although there is a thin black border around the edge, but after applied, it doesn’t affect visibility of the screen. The oleophobic coating also seems decent, fingerprints wipe off easily, nevertheless still need more time to observe how durable it is.

Overall, I’m quite satisfied with this product. For the price of RMB 68, personally i think it is a good deal, and I plan to buy another one as a spare.

Actually you can really see the difference
Just turn off the screen of both your both phone and try to look from different angle.
You will immediately see that with AR, the black is very black if compare to normal non-AR so-called Clear or HD tempered glass

* Those without AR type, you can see slightly grey or "light reflection" i suppose

If you know the concept of OLED vs LCD, that's how i can compare.

Btw, currently using AR 2.5D Smart Devil before i change to metal cloth above i post.
*
I know that, i'm using the Samsung QD-OLED monitor. That's why i can see the different from my eye for both normal & AR type screen protector.

I bought the car version with identical spec, it won’t push 25W no matter what I do. At best it just pulls 18W even my phone at 20% left and cooled condition (Aircon’s vent blowing cold air). Using PD via cable is so much better as it consistently pulling 36-38W right up to 80% charge. Now iPhone 17 Pro Max charge faster than my Samsung 23Ultra.

It’s considered an improvement to me even though it doesn’t push the full power as advertised. My old wireless charger only reached 7.5W.
