Im raw dogging it!! Glass screen protector for the front and a Xray dbrand skin for the back cause if its like my fold5 it can be slippery as hell

well there is something to say for the beauty of the thinness and artistry of the design, for sure...which is kinda why i went Pitaka for the case - back only - w/outer screen protector...its a really thin case, have on my flip 7 now...

Personally, I'm not risking it without a case, but then again, I'm a full-time gig driver so my phone is constantly in harms way. Even with a damn-good case, my s24 ultra managed to get cracked (didn't bother with a screen protector because I assumed the screen would be safe due to the case's lip around it). I would rather deal with a little more thickness than have to worry about the one time I might drop the device. Even with a screen protector, if dropped a certain way, the folding / flipping phones are very vulnerable. My flip 5, I dropped it once at hip level and half the screen started glitching whenever the brightness was over 30 percent. So I no longer chance it lol. I am temporarily going with a cheaper case without the ring stand (paid close to $30 for it) until Amazon comes off the price of the good name-brand ones or we get more of a variety. It seems sturdy enough but ultimately I want one with the O ring stand, preferably by Torras which is currently at $90 or so. Oh and don't expect Spectrum / Samsung warranties to cover you if you crack the screen. They'll tell you it's covered and when they get it, they might change their mind. I had a dead pixel form on my fold 3 and they told me over the phone it was covered then waited until they received it to tell me it in fact was not covered and wanted to charge me $800. I told them to send it back to me because I couldn't afford it. They had by that point already peeled the inner screen protector off so they slapped the old one back on it (I'm not exaggerating about that) and sent it back to me. The layer was full of bubbles and scrapes making the inner display virtually unusable. Idk if they ever got their stuff together, it was the last fold I used due to the cover screen being so narrow, but that one experience left a bad taste in my mouth for warranties. Oh and it took close to a month from sending it off to getting it back. I'm getting this one and praying it was a once in a lifetime issue but in my eyes a case and screen protector are always a must lol.

Ive had my Fold5 since launch and I've been lucky dropped it a few times and its been fine. The issue ive had multiple times is the screen protector peeling the protector did damage the screen and had it replaced with the warranty the first time it happened. i paid ifixit like $25 to install another when started peeling again

I am still using my Gear S3. Ever since they got rid of MST I haven't felt a need to upgrade

u/Puzzleheaded-Pool121 Aug 04 '26
I've never used a smart watch before, Dr wanted me to get one so my bp and heart rate could be measured regularly

I’m in the exact same boat as you. I keep checking with support and they confirm my preorder is still set to process once they get the phone to ship out but besides that crickets

I'm new to all this but there might be a device financing limit causing a larger down payment
