This is my first thread so here goes nothing. FFC what's the big deal anyways. They serve absolutely no purpose. I mean seriously think about it when on gods green earth are you gonna be just sitting around doing nothing and have time to video talk. Think about it logically can't do it while driving, can't do it while walking around the mall or doing your house and work duties. So when? It annoys me whn people are like " No FFC. Fail" really is it that important that some of these new hot phones don't have it that its gonna fail. Seriously he. People that have phones with this lovely feature how often do you use it? I bet no where as much as you would like to think. They are as about as purposeful as a dog with dog clothes looks like it does something but really just pisses your dog off, it has damn fur, its a phone made to send and receive calls and well email and the such but you get the idea. Please by all means give me a good reason for such a feature. Till then FFC= gimmick. Tell what you think and why?
Well I had my phone stolen last night gutted to say the least. I used PlanB to track it down, but it went straight to the mafia district here in Vietnam! Trust me that's a place you don't want to be going at night, so I let it go!
Sadly the police here are a waste of time too, so that's bye-bye phone!
Luckily I guess there was nothing on the phone that I can't replace aside from my sms\txt messages but I can live without that. Everything else is backed up bar one or two recent photos. I hadn't even rooted it yet.
So I'm gonna be buying a new phone at the end of the month and now the dilemma is to replace with another sensation or look at the alternatives. EVO3D, maybe look at the galaxy but I'm not a real fan of Samsung, but it's a viable option.
Or see what else is coming REAL soon.
oh well some shopping to do I guess.

POST 420! too bad im at work
How exactly did it get stolen? Just curious...
Picked my pocket by two very cute girls who did a great distraction job on me, they walked into me and dropped some stuff. I stopped helped them pick it up and when I turned round I noticed a distinct lack of weight where phone had been. Realised what had happened immediately turned round to confront them only to see them climbing on a motorbike being ridden by another accomplice and take off sharpish!
Could've been worse just found out my CEO father in-law had his iphone snatched from his hand last evening as he was on the phone leaning against a wall. Two guys rode up, one jumped off pushed him and harrased him to grab the phone and rode off sharpish. Luckily he's not hurt.
PS the idea of taking a gun into mafia district is highly appealing, but just not worth it in the end. Outnumbered to say the least and as a westerner living here I'd be picked up within hours.
Friend of mine who's been here longer than me has lost 8 phones in 4years!
PPS ahhh 420... at the 420 in 'dam I miss them days...
I guess it would make sense to make all calls via a BT headset and keep the phone taped to your crotch or something.

I heard vietnam is not a save country. Even for tourism. Their goverment should do something especially at the mafia area. We live in a melenium year, not 40s or 60s anymore!!
Sorry to hear what happen to you. And as for new phone, I think you definately not to use expensive phone over there. Better use plain old chip phone in such danger and high crime area.

That's just corny in this day and age.
TBH crime here isn't that bad and certainly no worse than London or other major cities I've been too. Majority of the time I feel pretty safe and as long as your aware of what's going on it's no biggie.
I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and got suckered by some fluttering eyes
but bonus time i bought the phone on my credit card (well paid off now) but means it's insured I had two days before it was out !!

i am so mad right now. i dont think i can exchange my phone now. good one samsung..release ur flagship that is made from plastic and release another device with the exact same specs, but with waterproofing and better build!
Itll most likely be more expensive. If that wasnt implied lol

As a Z user, I aswell am a little peeved. But all is well, I guess.
Well it says that the phone is only water "resistant" on GSM Arena, CNET & Sammobile and also that the camera has been downgraded to 8 megapixel.

Liquipel is a gimmick when used on cell phones. It's borderline being a scam actually.
The technology is impressive and it has merits but these demos of cell phones being dunked are very deceiving, let me explain why...
First off a little history with other gimmicks. Long time ago probably before many around here were kicking they used to demo these "amazing" knives under differing brands (Ginsu probably the most familiar). They would do crazy things with them at the displays in malls, fairs, etc. One was cutting deep grooves in the head of a hammer. People would reach for their wallet in droves to buy after seeing that. I mean a knife that could cut through a hammer? Problem is no one ever really scrutinized and realized the "hammer" had a head made of lead. Lead is very soft and any iron or ss blade will cut it with little dulling compared to say trying that on an Estwing. BTW if you did try this with a real hammer (I did!) you'd find your blade about as ruined as if you took a chainsaw to a steel door.
So what does this have to do with Liquipel and their demos? Simple. They never tell you what the "water" they use really is. I'm willing to bet it's distilled water with a very low conductivity. Others that have this treatment done to their devices are reporting their device stops working after a day or two! Of course, you're using tap water which has far more minerals and therefore much higher conductivity.
It gets even worse! The average spill (beer, soda pop, fruit juice, etc.) not only is much more conductive but can be acidic, leave sticky residues which are often highly hygroscopic (which means they will absorb moisture from the air when it gets humid, becoming active again), and this is just bad to have in your phone!
Toilet swims? Don't even ask!
Saltwater which a device would encounter if offshore fishing or beach going would probably be the worst thing ever that could happen to your phone.
Liquipel can keep the fluid from wetting your treated parts but it cannot keep it OUT of the chassis/enclosure. That's where this is flawed. Once you have fluid penetration (no sick jokes, please!) your device is contaminated and will never be the same. If you want a waterproof or water resistant device you must keep the water out, PERIOD! This requires a completely different strategy starting with the chassis and any physical interface that must connect from the outside to in. Real solutions are never pretty or compact. If you eliminated the headphone jack and USB port relying on wireless charging and bt/wifi for sound, etc. it would be possible. The buttons would be gasketed like waterproof wristwatches, for example. The speaker and mic would be a challenge depending on the water (depth) rating. A meter rating would be no real issue but 100 meters would!
Finally, getting your device treated gives you a false sense of security! There is nothing worse than believing you're OK when in fact you won't be as careful and allowing your device to get dunked!

thanks, this is informative (ran out of thanks for today, so posting this
Regarding Active - it will have a smaller screen, and is only water resistant - highlighting this as I believe many people think it is also shock/impact proof.
Seidio is developing their Obex for SGS4, I will check it out once it is released, gives water and impact resistance.
http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-s4-obex-case-holster-black-p/bd2-hwssgs4-bk.htm
Although it is a niche product, adds too much bulk, and worsens the mic and speaker quality.
It's always about compromise. TBH if you're the active type that wants to keep your phone working the easiest way is to put it in the equivalent of a storm case. Otter makes one that's in the ATT stores. TBH that's the only way I would carry my phone to the beach. Sand gets into everything and wrecks it - fast!
I have actually seen folks at the beach using a macbook!
Don't worry, it won't be long before connectivity will be a part of life, thought reading, embedded devices, and anti tinfoil hat tech! :laugh:

According to some comments in the video, this phone is also only a dual core S4 Plus MSM8960, which is even further of a disappointment.
well you could always just but a waterproof S4 here https://www.liquipel.com/
or get your current phone treated.
I contacted them, they're still testing the treatment and it's effect on things like air gestures, etc. should be ready soon tho. I'm considering getting this done, but wonder how it effects things like heat venting, etc

Worse camera.
It has a worse camera. Only 8 pm. Although, it is much better looking the the stock GS4.
SamMobile has stated that ACTIVE will have OLED in one article and TFT LCD in another??????
Which is it?

As I posted on Youtube:
These "drop test vids" are making me sick. Wanna know why? It´s not the money - and hell, it´s not that "someone would be sooo happy to have one!!1111"
BUT: These Devices contain a LOT of rare earth elements. They contain a LOT of ecologically harmful elements, and hell, plastic is the most harmless of them. Many people in the southeast worked hard to assamble the device.
And what for? Just to be dropped on concrete - and to be uploaded on YT. Again and Again. Thats just Bulls.
What makes me sick is the fact of a bunch of people is waiting to have one and they are destructing the phones
I know that they do for a reason but still.....I can't get one to treat with care and they just smashed one....Life is not fair :cyclops:
Not to mention these tests are useless. You drop any device with a full glass front and chances are it's going to break. It's really just luck if it doesn't.
The only ones who BENEFIT from a stupid drop test, is the manufacturer. They LOVE to see people make youtube videos dropping
their devices. FREE money (unless the manufacturer gave it to them).
I do not care for "drop test" videos, because anyone with HALF A BRAIN knows that if you drop a piece of equipment, that has
ELECTRONICS inside, chances are you actually might damage it! :silly:
How silly.
Look mom, gravity!

I wouldn't trust drop tests all that much, as they are pretty much 100% luck based.
Here is another one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCX3qNtzGzI in which the camera lens survived what seems to be a near direct drop on the camera area on phone's back.
Just in case the other thread was not being followed much , I wanted to make it real clear.
I have bought 6 dollar cases off of Amazon that are better than this hot mess
Cut outs too small for the headphone Jack
Cut outs too small for the spen
Buttons are garbage , very stiff and lacking a good click
Corners are thin with little protection
Back cutouts block the fingerprint reader and interfere with its operation (about 70% it doesn't recognize my finger, no problems with the other cases I have)
The case itself is not grippy THE VERY FREAKING THING IT IS NAMED FOR.It slides allover when put on a flat surface,unlike the original grip case.
It has a back?? That you are supposed to put skins on??
The sides block the edge and mess with the edge screen functions
I could probably go on , but it's no longer worth it, dbrand should be ****ing embarrassed by this disaster, and I would no recommend this case to anyone.
Not surprised. What a mess. They delay and delay and delay and remain SILENT on this new product of theirs that they had to have spend a lot of money on when you consider the video ad they made and they delivered (finally) what?
If you can do a video review, please do so. Thanks for the update.
Was waiting for a video review to show up on YouTube, from the sounds of it, I shouldn't bother...
I was very disappointed by it. Specific to the Note 9, the cutouts for the S-Pen and fingerprint sensor.
Overall, I prefer the Grip V1. It had actual GRIP and I enjoyed the bumper style case more. The hard plastic felt cheap.
About the only things I see as a plus is that the buttons are textured and the case will probably not degrade horribly like the first Grip.
I messaged them on Sunday to tell them how f***** bad the case is plus some other stuff,guess what?
Never replied back,usually they reply in like 4-6h everytime!
Also told them to post my comment about GRIP on Twitter like they usually do lol
What a loser company,f**** up and can't even admit it!
But lets post how we told/wrote customer's "**** off BIATCH!" on Twitter...that's cool,right?!
Suddenly after the GRIP thing settled a little how they're active on Twitter,roasting/savaging/humiliating people (per fanboys ofc) smfh

Lol was a ****ty read in all honesty!
He basically said it's **** but found what that you can buy for 5$ a skin and put it on,ohhh but you'll have to buy the case for 30something dollars. That's his good?!
Plus he never mentioned anything about the S-Pen issue that you either need to use a sharp object or your smallest finger to kinda press in to get the pen to pop out (same goes for putying the pen back in).Not grippy,hmmmm most important thing isn't good at all,it's garbage.
Button clickability isn't good is f***** horrible,OHHHHHHHH and you don't get used to the fingerprint sensor issue,period! Way to much raised,you literally have to press but press pretty hard in order for your finger to touch the sensor. You do not get used to that.
BUT hey you can buy and apply a skin,that's the good thing. Def would recommend after the review.
p.s. Wrote them a nice juicy message but after 5 days they never replied,basically took our money and f*** off!
Normally they'll answer to anything in 4-6h,this time no word.

Not taking dbrand's side here at all (I hate the case too), but these statements have been made: "You can tell that I’m not happy with the case," "I really like the design and the fact that I can customize it with dbrand’s skins," and "a case I don’t like using every day and thus, I’d highly recommend looking for something else." So the review says that the customizability is the only good side, but everything else is a downside. The S-pen issue hasn't been mentioned because it was a OnePlus 6 and not a Note 9. The review does not recommend the case, unlike what you're saying.
To be honest, though, the power button did get less stiff after continued use of about a week and I got used to the fingerprint scanner issue. Maybe it's more on the Note 9, but it wasn't for my OnePlus 6.
I'm not going against you here; I'm on your side. The Grip (and Prism, for that matter) are both ****ty products. But the review is pretty on point with what everyone's saying.
I've also sent multiple emails to dbrand and they're letting me return it. However, the return process is stupid and just makes you not wanna do it. So just like you, even I'm not happy. Just wanted to make that clear.

Didn't see it was for the OnePlus 6,kinda went with Note 9 since it's on this thread,smh my bad should've looked at it properly!

Prime example of a company becoming to arrogant regarding it's customer's. You see they wanted to rip us off with a ****ty product. Probably thought we got a **** ton of fanboys whatever you bring out it'll be good enough for them! This whole GRIP thing was a farce, utter disaster... that's why they're so quite about it all,trying to put it under the rug and get moving again without losing to much customer's.
Yet whatever they Twitt it's so amazingly cool,best company ever etc...I guess as long as there are sheep companies will make millions of off people!

Man, you're sooo right! Not gonna lie, I used to be a fanboy too, but oh, how that's changed.
They go around showing how "awesome" their customer service is but it's actually so ****. Despite being the second iteration of their phone case, they haven't even gotten the basics right. It basically proves that they're extracting money from fanboys. And believe it or not, some fanboys are actually like the case!
To make things worse, I got the Prism and that was **** too. Literally cut my finger.
I'm sticking to them to get my money worth, but that's so not happening.

In all honesty,since when was anything "Made in China" good/great?!
Only that shows you they never intended to make a good product,I'm even asking myself now is the GRIP actually made out of the material they are saying it's made of?
Think about this for a second...
You get lets say 100,000 orders
-People need to be payed (costs money)
-Material,template etc...(costs money)
-Put on a skid and shipped (costs money)
-F*** up needs to be remade (maybe they didn't, who knows) (costs new money)
-Customs clearance (costs money government wants some of it to)
-**** up,everyone gets 10$ Amazon gift card (costs money)
Fast run through of the costs/steps to make it and plus 10$ for Amazon. Imagine now how cheap the material and everything has to be for them to make still money out of the GRIPs if you're selling it for 30$ minus the 10$ Amazon?!
These cases couldn't have cost more the a couple of bucks at most per case!
Cheap ass cases,nothing else.Which shows you can't deny it.
p.s. Don't lie buddy,PRISM is dope as f***...didn't you see the guy hammering against his IPhone and PRISM saved his phone??? Smh don't talk **** about the screen protectors
p.s.2 Joke...ofc it's also **** like GRIP

You're right. Now that you've said it this way, if you check the customs invoice, you can see that dbrand has declared the value of the Grip to be $7. I'm actually now convinced it's even cheaper since they can't just go around giving $10 gift cards on a $30 product. That makes it $20 and they still have to do everything else you said. Nope. Impossible unless it's actually like $2 or something lol.
This thing is totally not worth its price. I'm still using the Spigen Tough Armor. Just enough thickness, the best buttons, very low price.
You noticed where half of your monies goes right? I noticed alot of YouTube videos have a snippet about dbrand in them lately.

Honestly I can't believe the hype about a company that basically draws some random bs on a sticky notes,insults customer's (tho I'm ok with the idiot's that get insulted for stupidity) without any reason?!
I've tried all skins from Dbrand,Slickwraps etc...pretty much the same s**t more or less!
Shows pretty much how easy it is to market something,you'd think it's 2019 and people are smarter but guess not,ehhhhh?
This GRIP thing should've been there end...we all f*** up no issue with that,but they literally historically f****ed up and now are acting after 2 months like nothing ever happened?
Basically just shoved it under the rug...Now they started posting random posts again that only support and a...lick them, people act like they never f***d us up?!
I can't wrap my head around how stupid humanity has become,smfh

Well said. It's the same thing I say about housing, cars, smartphone costs, and pretty much anything else that humans buy that are overpriced to high hell. I do not understand why so many people constantly buy buy buy and then don't actually seem to care after the purchase is done, that something isn't working as it should. I guess I can't complain too much though because I just got a $20 check in the mail for Net10 or whatever their name was from like 10+ years ago for a settled lawsuit for them lying about "unlimited data." Lol.
Concerning the cases and such, people seem to have a stigma about cases that cost less than $30 apparently. Especially the overly hyped companies...UAG, I'm looking at you. Sorry but $60 for a case? WHAT?! And people often respond with the usual, "I'm protecting my $1k investment, I'm not going to be using a super cheap case." That's like saying, you want the most expensive car insurance policy all because you bought an expensive car, without actually putting thought into why cheaper insurance might leave you better off! It blows my mind how many people just mindlessly spend extra money on something just because they justified it already, or saw someone else do the exact same thing. Don't get me wrong, UAG(am I typing that right?), makes some really sexy cases, damn they look good and feel good. But they are overpriced man.
Reminds me of the ZeroLemon battery cases, Mophie(YUCK!!!), and the others. What in the actual F is all the extra high pricing for????? And why the heck are so many people going to freaking Best Buy to buy the Mophie battery cases like hotcakes???? LMFAO. Man, human beings are....in need of help when it comes to making sensible purchases.
Where are the "Real" pictures of this case?
