Review: New Aluminum Bumper

Just purchased this aluminum bumper for about USD 12, unlike the one reviewed previously in this forum ( the one with 4 screws fitting), this one is smaller in size, thinner and slightly lighter, about the size of a tpu case offered by mercury and SGP.
The buttons are dug in, but can be easily press, even with short finger nails, good thing it doesn't allow acidental press.
The battery lid can be removed or put on with the bumper on, the photo shows with extended battery lid on.
Before any consider one, there are 2 things you need to know, the headset hole is very small, so not all headphones will fit and the USB port will only fit the standard samsung cable, other may not fit.

Can you post some url?

Bought it direct from Shenzhen china 2 days ago.

does it effect the signal and gps strength?

is it heavy?

Looks like it would suck if you needed to use the volume keys.

To each their own, but imo that looks cheap and gross....do you live in Jersey?

lol Jersey i dont think it is gross but yes it is cheap at $12
I received the slightly bigger one few days ago and like it a lot but liking the look of this smaller one.
Not noticed any difference in reception/signal on mine over the last 2 days.
can you post a url to where you bought it online ?

Not that I know of, network signal full same, GPS signal picked up in less than 1-2 seconds from inside a building and the same at home.
I have yet to try the GPS on the move.

I used just a normal universal glue. But you will need something precise to glue it to the frame, because its very thin.

Hi
My friends phone is broken
Where are i find the repair guide?
I can buy the original LCD from China LCD factory.

its much better to buy set: lcd+touch+frame it is easier to replace, because you dont have to glue the screen to the frame what is quite difficult. You can buy sets screen+frame on aliexpress for about 30$, and screen only its about 20$.

Questions about the Uk Variant.

Ok i'm planning on getting a uk p2 with 3 and i need a few questions answered.
I would ask 3 support but you need to get a phone with them before you can ask for help.
1. Does it have warranty?
2.how long is the SoT?
3.does it come with a screen protector?
4.does it have earphones and if yes are they the rounded ones or the ergonomicish ones that samsung does
5.does it have nougat yet
6.Is it unlocked to all carriers
7.If yes can i use this sim:https://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/sim_only_deal/2d21367826963ec7f658f28505a6bf6e243c9616?comparison=c3Q9c3RhbmRhcmQmcz1tb250aGx5LWNvc3QmcD0vbW9iaWxlcy9jb21wYXJlL3NpbV9vbmx5X2RlYWxzLyZwbz0z
8.what would you say are better value the note 4 or p2, I found them for the same price £200 not sure which one to get.
Thank you very much for help it's very appreciated

Of course it has warranty. I believe 1 year.
SOT varies. There is another thread with everyone's SOT.
No screen protector.
No earphones.
No official OTA for nougat but you can install the official Lenovo one.
Yes it's completely unlocked to all carriers.
I almost went for a Note 4 (had a Note 3) but the much bigger battery and better fingerprint scanner tipped the balance for me.

Yes this really has me annoyed as the note 4 has s-pen, q-hd,and more features but the p2 has newer Soc, more battery, nougat,more fluid performance.
Hmmm... I'll have to go with the p2 as the only con of it is the average camera

Don't forget the P2 also has 4GB ram Vs 3GB in the Note 3/4.
The camera actually with normal day to use is pretty good. Was at a garden party yesterday and managed to get some really nice pictures. It's no worse than my Note 3 but no better.
If I want really high quality pictures I take my DSLR out with me!

On three website it says headphones included. But you Guys are saying it doesn't.
Also my dad has a three phone how do I get the phone without top up just show that I have a three phone. Thanx for help guys

Mine definitely didn't have any headphones.
I also have a SIM only plan with three and didn't have to buy a topup. Just provided my details and ID and they discounted it off.

Screen Protection for Canadians

I live in Canada and many of the screen protectors that are being reviewed online are not available for purchase since they do not ship here. Anyone from Canada have any good recommendations? Considering Spigen's Neo Flex but it's out of stock at the moment. Thanks

G Color is pretty good. However I ended up switching it out for the NeoFlex because I screwed up the installation of the G Color one lol.
Also G Color came with a free clear case. Not the best quality, but still it was nice of them to throw that in.

I got the Whitestone Dome one and it's amazing. But not shipping to Canada just yet. I got it because I live on the border and had it shipped to a US address I can use. You guys will love it when you can get it.

Exactly. I had the ClearPlex one from Best Buy but took it off because it felt terrible.

I picked up a glass screen protector from a store in Hamilton as I needed something as I was going out that night paid 40 and it was crap lol I thought it was ok at first but it felt almost like that plastic screen on an OtterBox defender case. I switched cases today and it just came off the phone and I'm glad it did lol. I think I will just go with a case and no screen protector and hope for the best as it seems there are no good curved glass screen protectors for the s8+

haha I agree with you there, but with such limited selection to choose from, it makes it difficult.. especially since pretty much all of the ones I've seen have horrible reviews.
But I NEED a screen protector on my phone! I usually upgrade my phone every 6 months - 8 months and I always sell my previous device.

It's not terribly bad and it is nice and clear. But it doesn't feel as good as glass. If your interested in it you can probably go to Best Buy and I'm sure one of the workers would have a phone with it on that they'd let you look at and touch.
