LG V20 Durability Test - JerryRigEverything - LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion

JerryRigEverything is at it again. Looks like the V20 holds up pretty well.

yeah pretty well... except look how easy the camera glass cracked. ugh.

i recommend a gel or similar case or otterbox or similar case even though it could take alot of beat up and still work. It just for the finer area like the camera to prevent destruction...
beside the unknown bootloop that portion of the V20 look nice. I just need to experience the hardware/software

Whoa! Why haven't I seen that channel before?!? That is awesome and cathartic.

I also just discovered him right after the Note 7 dropped. He was not impressed with the durability. I appreciate his concise delivery and dry sense of humor.

There's a factory installed "screen protector" on the lens cover,which doesn't interfere with the picture quality.
I'd like to think this will provide a decent amount of protection,although nothing will make it bullet-proof less an Otterbox defender or similar (no THX).
I hope the protective film holds up for a while before peeling back,& I'd guess there'll be protective films available on eBay soon,if not already for sale.
Myself,I'm gonna use a liquid sealer on both the display & camera lens cover,I have just enough left over from when I used it on my Note 7:

Man....that lense crack was insane. I see that being a huge issue.

thanks..

This is great. I accidentally dropped my device while using the STM Cape case and it doesn't protect the bottom corners well. This looks like it will cover it up.

yeah, i know from years of dropping devices, that its only a matter of time till that happens with this device, so I am excited about this thing!
the mfg website says june 7th, so I am hoping the amazon supplier gets it sooner than the 28th; for the 60% savings,its worth waiting!!

I've pre-ordered from then before. It's a bit like of a hit and miss. Last time they missed their arrival date by two weeks because their shipments of their stock didn't come in on time, but they're very friendly and responsive. They updated me with the next expected date as soon as it was available.

Wow, that looks like it provides great coverage! I guess you have to store the S-Pen separately though (doesn't seem like there is a slot for it)? I also wonder what it will feel like to write on it, regarding both the "touch-sensitive, water-resistant screen-guard" (and how that will feel with the S-Pen) and also with the raised case edges.

people who have gotten this case for other devices suggested that you pop out the screen guard, and use your own, so I have a new Spigen on mine, so I dont want the one that is on the case; plus, I am sure there is a slot for the spen; that would be a major problem if there isnt one...raised case edges are a good thing for putting the tablet face down...

I think it's a fall where you pull it out. It looks like all the ports have it and I think it's to protect openings from dust.

Wow.. this changes the Galaxy Note 8 into completely something else
Very nice. I much prefer non-portfolio style cases due to their immediate accessibility. But I also prefer one with a built-in stand for video viewing and this one seems to be the first one like that for the note that I've come across (and a more premium model at that.) Based on the reviews for other tablets this seems a good possibility. Added to my wishlist and I'll be eagerly checking this forum/thread for a review once it's available.
Otterbox has already said they have no plans for a Note 8.0 case unfortunately. Odd since the Note 8.0 seems to be selling very well (at least according to my local Best Buys) and people who would pay $400 for a premium tablet would seem the most likely to not balk a premium case. I know I wouldn't. Oh well....

This case looks just like what I was after. I got a cheap folio case to start with while I waited to find my ideal case. I like the rased bevel. wanted one like that to help prevent me clicking the capacitive buttons by mistake in landscape mode. The raised home button will also prevent me accidentally pushing that as well. Happens sometimes when playing multiplayer fps games.
I've still not decide if I'll get a screen guard or not. Dont intend on using the one provided though.
Look forward to your feedback. Not available until June 30th in the UK.

I had the same thought too when I first saw the case. I was happy to find out there is no need to store the stylus on the side - there is a slot for it in the case! As for writing on the screen protector, I haven't noticed any difference from writing on the Note 8.0 screen with the stylus. I posted a pic in another response if you're curious to see.

well, got this case yesterday, and I have to say its everything I had hoped for and more; sort of like an otterbox, with a built in stand, which works in portrait and landscape.
HD rubber around the screen edges, fully protect port openings, and even the camera has a flip off protector, which,even has a little "slot" that holds it back when you want to use the camera; very nice high end touches like that, and a very solid feel to it as well.
You insert it inside a plastic bottom frame, then snap the top cover over it, which has a very nice clear protector built into it, which, when used in conjunction with my current Spigen Ultra Clear, provides a fantastic surface to easily use my spen/holder on, giving you the identical feel as if you were writing on a legal pad, with a pen...very nice!
You then wrap the rubber cover around the frame, and after a few minutes of adjusting, you have basically a giant "otterbox" like protected tablet!!
Its probably not for eveyone, but I love holding the tablet in my hand, like a giant G-Note 2, and writing on it and using it now is so much nicer...I think it would easily survive a major fall, but dont ask me to try that!!
Definately more useful, and much better protection than any of these folio/notebook fabric covered cardboard cases that are all over the place..its just a little bulky for those with small hands...
Amazon price was 60% off the price from Poetic, so I would suggest you get if from Amazon if you are interested..

I was wondering if anyone could give the exact size of the case in inches. I am considering a swap to the note 8 from my nexus 7. Size is a concern because I keep it in my flight suit pocket. The Note 8 without a case is the same size in H and W as my nexus 7 with an otterbox installed. I was wondering how much extra size the poetic case adds. Thanks for the help!

8 1/2 inches long, 5 3/4 wide, 5/8ths of an inch thick is the total size with this case on...the corners are diaganally cut, if that matters to you..

Looking at the pictures and video is there any chance of the kick stand brace scratching the back of the note when it's folded? It appears to me metal. I'm close to ordering but I'm also nervous about the addition weight and thickness, how bad is it?

ScreenMate Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Galaxy S4 by iloome! [Video Review]

Just made a review of the ScreenMate Tempered Glass Screen Protector for the Galaxy S4 by iloome.
Close up pictures:
You will get dust/lint around the home button and the home button sticker that's included doesn't help cover it up.
I have been using this for about 2 weeks and I am blown away of how well this screen protector preforms! 100% absolutely bubble free, very scratch resistant, super easy to apply, and looks like a product that could last forever.
Hope you enjoy the product review and helps your decision if you want to get the product, enjoy! :laugh::good:​
Great video review sir! I absolutely love mine. Never going back to a plastic screen protector again. :good:

looks good! could you post some pics as well? specially around the earpiece? and do you get any decrease in response from the sensors as they are covered?
I just got it as well.
The only thing I'm surprised about is that, contrary to several threads here, it does NOT have Rounded edges. It's very straight cut and feels like it's scraping ur skin.
Very disappointed seeing as how most others have it but oh well.

Nope, the response hasn't decreased at all from the senors or the screen.
I also have this screen protector. It is absolutely wonderful! Has anyone tested it against ghost glass or some other glass variant? I also notice a bit of a decrease in performance from the proximity sensor when removing the phone from my face after a long phone call.
I ordered this product on Sunday from Amazon. It's arrival today was heralded by a loud thump on my doorstep as the delivery person essentially slammed the Amazon box (which contained the ScreenMate and a Obliq Case) down and ran off. Needless to say, I was not surprised to discover on opening the screenmate box that the glass had been cracked.
I will be ordering another as soon as Amazon processes my refund, as I believe that the fault was in the handling by the delivery person. I do think that iLoome could probably do a little bit better with their packaging, however, again, I believe that the fault truly lies with the Prestige courier that Amazon used to ship my product to me.
I will update after I get the replacement ordered and it arrives.
Just got my iloome glass screen and its amazing feels like nothing there but I got a hair under my screen. Thats my bad but its nice and all the gestures is working for me. Very well pleased

Would be interested to know if the case blocks the speaker on the phone or it routes the sound toward you. It looks like it could be routing the sound from the speak to the 2 holes at the bottom.

I may order when someone else serves as the test subject.
I'll stay tuned to see how other folks like it.
I ordered this case and immediately had horrible signal issues. I've e-mailed the seller asking if there's a solution. It's too bad to use as a phone, though wifi was not blocked at all. Normally I have strong LTE in my house but it's unusable with the case on.
Marvel should sue them for stealing Spiderman design (j/k). Only if this case had a belt clip, I'd bite. I want someone to make a case with a clip!

to each their own... but gawd, that's ugly.
I bought it when it first went up, before their description made it clear it was steel, I was hoping for a thin metal slip. The case is heavy as hell, and the built in screen protector traps pocket lint between the screen protector and screen. The case is held on with 6 hex screws, which worked, but made it even heavier.
It did muffle sound a little, as to radio...I'm just switching to Ting with GSM from Sprint with my phone. I was worried for a bit that my phone was the issue, but a girl who has a galaxy phone has all the same signal issues I did on Sprint. I'll let you know of mine is better, and how GSM is impacted by the case later.

I should also mention, like the Tudia, it made my side access worse. I use Lucid launcher specifically for the left side slide out favorite apps, these were really hard to activate on both this case, and the Tudia. I also use a pie fromthe right side, this was similarly hard to trigger, but at least I could customize the trigger width to accommodate the massive bearth.

That doesn't look like a quality case to me. The back looks like plastic. But there aren't a lot of cases compatible with the 360 Camera so if you want specifically to use that feature it's probably worth taking the chance since the case is so cheap. But if you don't care about the 360 Camera there are clearly way better choices.

I bought it.
It actually isn't cheap feeling.
Soft touch.
Pretty heavy.
Secures on the phone pretty well.
Looks like it will protect the phone in a drop.
It does add bulk.
The flip down for the camera is pretty cool.
The opening on the back for the camera is large since the case is so deep.
The fingerprint sensor hole is also large because they made it to clear the camera opening without leaving a small piece of TPU inside.
Overall I like it for the ~$10 I paid.
It is either this or naked.
I bought it as well.
Doesn't feel cheap to me.
Adds a decent amount of bulk to the phone but not too much.
The flip down feels pretty sturdy and hopefully it won't loosen over time.
It has a nice feel to it. Soft but not slick. Sort of rubberized.
I've been using the first Tudia case that came out for this phone for awhile now and it's fine most of the time. But when I do use the 360 lens it is a hassle. Having to peel the case off. Hopefully this fixes that problem.

I tried it yesterday and the flip down works fine.
It's a bit stiff to latch and unlatch, but it does solve the 360 camera issue.
No more case removal! It also means that those screen protectors that glue around the edges will bel see likely to lift.
I still haven't decided if I want to use LOCA to attach a screen protector to my phone.

What do you think of this Fingerprint Friendly Tempered Glass for the Samsung S10?

What are your thoughts on this glass?
InvisShield True Fit for Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus
Mod Edit
Seems the same as Whitestone with a few exceptions. I do like that the camera cutout isn't there but I feel like Whitestone is easier to install with the kits they provide.
Might be a good idea to install that way! Thanks for the share. I ordered something similar from AliExpress, gonna take forever to get here and has some bad and good news for the fingerprint sensor
Im not going to blow money on these gimmicks. Tempered glass has soo many advantages too but the reality is- there is no great solution for the curved screen except a wet install and good case+ extreme care like not walking and using phone, not holding phone while getting out of car in gravel driveway, etc.

i think the front facing camera is optimised as is, adding extra glass will affect that.

FINALLY GOT MY GLASS TODAY AND IT WORKS!!
I tried first with standard way and fingerprint didn't work. Second try followed that video the mods took down and it worked perfectly!! I didn't even re-register my fingers. It's a little less accurate but I'd rather not have a cracked screen when i get careless over the next 3 years I own this phone.

I'm using it. My only issue with the glass in this thread is the absence of the camera cutout. I know before I had stated it seemed nice but my Whitestone has lifted up around the top while still actually being adhered to the phone. If I didn't have the cutouts then my front camera would be blurry. I assume this company would use similar glue and would end up with the same results later on.
get an insurance for it, and save money on your case!!!!

Is the back of the Note20 Ultra actually glass?

I have a Tmo N986U recently purchased from Tmo about 2 weeks ago. The back of my phone does not feel like the glass back on my previous 1+ 7Pro. It feels textured and I can feel the Samsung script on the back of the phone as well. I have the copper color variant and couldn't find an answer for my question other than specs listing it as glass. The camera lense cover is clearly glass. There is no protective film on the phone or anything like that. Am I missing something? It feels more like coated aluminum.
Frosted glass probably. I don't know, I didn't pay attention to that color. But I did see it was opaque and not reflective like the other ones, so maybe it's coated on the outside, but it is glass.

The black and white model have regular glass backs while the bronze model has a frosted glass back.
Ah! I thought I was losing my mind. Frosted glass certainly makes sense.
Interesting.
My 10+ is smooth... unmanageable without a case.
Guess Samsung heard too many complaints about their high dollar slippery flying fish.
Wouldn't use the 20 ultra without a case, simply because of the massive camera

10+, was thinking of upgrading but Samsung made some of the same mistakes plus new ones on this generation as well. Q didn't help matters either.
The 20U is a great phone but Samsung isn't motivated nearly enough.

Didn't realize people that don't own the phone browse forums catering to that phone.
If you don't mind me asking, why do you stick around giving input about a phone you don't have? Not trying to be a ****, just curious.

Cross platforming. I've used known issues on the N9 and earlier to fix the same issues on the 10+.
They don't change that much which is part of the problem...
If you drop it, you'll find out soon enough, indeed it is glass because glass breaks!
