    thinking of buying S8 or S8+

    The K20 is trash. Buy the S8 now is my advice. The screen is huge so I see no reason to go for the +. You could always wait for the S9 obviously but I wouldn't want to use such an inferior phone for that long.

    Samsung Alcantara !!!

    I like! It's a nice change from the same old plastic cases. My only concern would be that it looks like the sort of material that won't wear well.

    Best Cases for the Samsung Galaxy S8

    I've got 2: The Samsung battery backpack and the Olixar X-Duo. It might be the shape of the phone but I'm yet to find a case I really like the look of. Still, I am happy with both.

    Tempered Glass Screen Protectors

    Bought my SecondSkin Edge from here. It fits with my Olixar case and has't made the screen less 'crisp' unlike some I've had in the past so I'm content. Would buy again.

    S8 / S8+ First Impressions Thread

    I've had it for a while now and I'm still can't believe how much of a step forward it is. The fact that the useable screen size is so big yet it's nowhere near phablet size has changed everything for me.

    What color S8/S8+ should you buy?

    Midnight black for me. Classic, understated, and I'm unlikely to regret it in 6 months! I know I'd get bored of a fancy color eventually.

    Is there a app to lock my screen when the battery reaches a preset % ?

    There's nothing that I'm aware of but Greenify has helped me monitor my usage more closely. It'd seem like an easy app to create, maybe you've given someone an idea.

    My Phone wont let me down load any apps

    Sometimes with these apps you have to download a main app before you can activate individual themes or skins. That was the case when I downloaded a white keyboard and an icon pack anyway.

    those that have the S8, anyone seeing Red?

    It was slightly noticeable on mine before the update, now even less. I'm not sure whether people are hyper-sensitive or whether some really are much worse than others.

    Shocker: My fav new feature=fingerprint reader!

    The placement isn't perfect, granted, but it's already a non-issue for me. I can count the times I've touched the camera on one hand and the gestures and accuracy are so good I wouldn't consider complaining anyway.

    thinking of switching

    Go with the least expensive. Everyone has bad experiences with carriers, I wouldn't worry too much about anecdotal stories.

    What can we do better around here?

    This is a great idea. Create a lifetime subscription and have it be ad free. It wouldn't even have to be that expensive per user to match ad revenue.

    Pulled the trigger

    I wish more manufacturer's went the modular route, but yeah the G5 wasn't the most popular phone of all time. Look at OnePlus if funds are tight, you can probably pick up a used 3 for around $300.

    Verizon Galaxy S8 SPAM

    I agree. The experience on Tapatalk is much more optimized for mobile than most sites and so many forums use it now it really is very handy.

    UAG Monarch or Otterbox Strada?

    Of the 2 I prefer the UAG, mainly because of looks. Both will provide ample protection I'd have thought.
