S20 FE, who's thinking about it?

Verizon 5G isn't even in my area, so LTE is fine with those like me. I'll worry about 5G coverage when 5G is like LTE is presently.
 
Anyone find any cases anywhere? Normally I can at least find a cheap one until the better brands get it together... Everything I can find is china direct and 3-6 weeks out...

So excited to retire my s8+. Glad Samsung is finally offering a phone with flagship hardware at a reasonable price again.
 
Even if not can't you just disable the 5G bands and use 4G?
Depends on the carrier. Apparently, from what I've read on AT&T's support forums, you can't disable 5G to force only LTE on their phones.

It's a problem for some users who get flakey and slow 5G connections, but can't force it back to LTE only, which was much faster for them.

Sure, the phone will connect to any lower type network if there is no 5G in the area. The problem is, it will connect to a 5G band if one is there, even if it's dog slow. And you can't set the phone to ignore it.

I don't know if AT&T forces that on unlocked phones, but they certainly do on their branded/locked phones.

There's at least one Spigen case on Amazon. May be a second one that's clear, but I don't like clear cases so I'm not sure but think I saw one.

Shipping label was created in Irvine, CA today. The expected delivery is October 27-28, though. Not sure if that's going to change or if it's from China or elsewhere outside the US. Is Spigen a US company? It's coming directly from them.

With the $70 credit Samsung offered during the pre-order I ordered two of these:

I ordered a spigen on your suggestion, we'll see if it ships or if its really a month out. I normally go for UAG, supcase, or maybe incipio or otterbox. None of them are ready yet, and Amazon has nothing listed in stock. I don't like carrying a new phone around until I get a case. Makes me nervous, $600 is still a lot of money!

My Spigen via Aamazon (shipped by Spigen) is definitely in transit. Spigen HQ is in Irvine, CA. The USPS has picked up the package. My delivery date is still a month out, but it appears it will actually be here in a few days (I'm in New York State).

Did you see my Samsung case above?
 
Did you happen to notice if this is the only Samsung case available? It appears you can't search directly for S20 FE cases there yet. Most recent in the list are the Note 20s.
There were about 2 or 3 others. I remember a polycarbonate navy or white one and then silicone versions plus they had the clearview cover cases.
