Are you people importing this from USA? If yes, which importer are you using? And delivery time?

Did they accept Pakistani credit card and shipping address? The last time I tried with my credit card, it didn't work due to PayPal.

Pakistani cards work on both Slickwraps and dBrand's website. Tried and tested. dBrand only gives you one option for Express shipping (which is 20$), the skin reached me in 4 days from Toronto.

I've successfully ruined my NeoFlex protectors. Both of them.

Hahahaha how?


Also, Samsung has pretty much nailed it with the standby battery drain, or lack of it. I stopped using my phone at around 1 AM last night, woke up this morning at 9 and it had dropped from 75% to 73% and that's how it is usually, when I go for an exam and come back after a few hours, it will never drain more than 2% on standby. Future software updates can probably improve this even more. But, so far so good, way better than any other Samsung flagship.

Hahahaha how.
I applied it correctly in the first try but the inner me told to apply it perfectly. So I peeled it off and applied again but this time there were particles on the protector. So I peeled it off again. Then I decided to apply the 2nd one, applied it perfectly but there were bubbles this time. I waited for 12 hours but they didn't go. So I peeled it off too.

Slickwraps accept both debit and credit cards, your address can be of Pakistan too. Mine is.

Got protector and cover from [MENTION=6946]amaga[/MENTION]. Cover is top notch as expected. But the protector isnt satisfying. I see myself peeling it off within few days 😂. I guess that is because of my habit, using my phone without protector 😂

So, everyone who faced the issue where the device would stop charging. Here's what Samsung has to say.

We would like to inform you that; this is not an issue with the device, this is the inbuilt feature of the handset, during


*Wireless charging or fast charging, the device may feel hotter and this is normal range of operation which does not affect the device’s lifespan/ performance.


If the battery temperature goes beyond specified limit, the charger may stop charging the device and start charging again once temperature goes down upto the normal temperature (e.g. 36ºC) and this is only a precautionary action for customer safety. This mode is called as*“Swelling Prevention Mode”.


Swelling prevention mode is triggered due to the high temperature. If the phone temperature rises beyond certain limit, the maximum charging voltage is limited to 4.15V which is equivalent to 70~80% (±*5%) of battery level. This operation is disabled and starts charging again once temperature goes down up to the normal temperature (e.g. 36ºC)

Bubbles didn't go after 12 hours? A bit concerning, I just applied mine now and I hope they disappear in time because the clarity is shit and it looks horrible on white backgrounds lol.

Well shit. I hope I don't have to use the second one because I fear it'll have the same fate as my current one which kinda looks like crap. Even though it's been like 10 minutes since I put it on.

[MENTION=42544]murtaza12[/MENTION] Did the bubbles go?

Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
Most of them have, and it looks fine now, but there are a few remaining that might annoy me and I'll have to use the other one, but for now this is fine.

The clarity however is something I'm unhappy with. It's not up to mark.

Mine went away after 6 or 7 hours, since I applied it in the morning, I pretty much had it on my table throughout. Even had to peel it off and reapply, still disappeared.

Ignore the scratch / dent on the protector near the bottom lol, but otherwise mine has cleared up a fair amount.

Finally found a good screen protector. Ringke Invisible Defender works great with cover as well.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
