S20 FE, who's thinking about it?

[KPMcClave]

Which case is that may I ask?

Spigen has so many I can't recall the exact name... Rugged Armor:

It's shipped by Spigen directly. They're in Irvine, CA.

Amazon also has the Spigen Ultra Hybrid:

I've ordered a couple cases from Amazon, none of them have shipped. I'll take whatever gets here first and cancel the rest I guess. Seems crazy that nobody has a case available on launch. Not sure how you guys got those spigen cases... Mine is nowhere in sight . Maybe they had a limited stock and ran out.

Ordered Cloud Mint from BB, supposed to be avail for p/u Friday, but will go there tonight, just in case.
Will wait on the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case, AMZ says it ships on 10/14.

I'm sure that's it. I noticed earlier when I posted the links that the two they have listed are out of stock until the 12th and 14th.

When I ordered mine it said it would be delivered in a range that started with October 27th. Obviously, that didn't happen...unless it gets really lost in the last 75 miles or so.

Think you got lucky. Just Cancelled my spigen order. My caseology case shipped...was labeled as in stock for later this month...

I wonder if Amazon is just broken because of prime day coming up

I love the Caseology Vault series. Had one on my Pixel 2 XL and then the 3 XL. They're not available at all yet for the S20 FE (if they even will be).

I'm thinking about it, but I'm loving the A71 5G and its big 6.7 inch screen. Don't know if I could go back to even 6.5. The 5g version has aluminum along the sides which makes the phones feel very premium. I realize the FE is a better device though.

Regarding screen size difference, 0.2" becomes less and less noticeable as the overall size increases. The difference between 6.5 and 6.7 is pretty minimal in terms of perception.

Early delivery....

Looks like the labeling matches the color of the phone we order

I'm currently trying to decide between the FE and the Pixel 5. I have a Pixel 3 XL, and it's possible I could just continue to use that instead.

I think I'd miss the software experience on the Pixel. Especially since I can't participate in the Samsung betas because I'm on Verizon (I did in what I believe was the last Samsung on Verizon beta for the S7 Edge).

I wouldn't mind tinkering a bit with something new, though.

I'm in the same boat. I have a P3XL which I have really enjoyed. Haven't been a fan of Samsung in many years due to the software experience. But the S20FE is excellent from a hardware standpoint.. I just don't like the idea of the bloatware that will come on it that can't be easily disabled, as well as the questionable but improving updates. The Pixel nails it on the software side of the house.

I do wonder which will have a better battery life though. The S20 wins on battery size but when you factor in the screen and proc - not sure how much cancels out any advantages.
P5: 6" 90hz screen, Snap 765, 4080mah battery
S20FE: 6.5" 120hz screen, Snap 865, 4500mah battery

The price is certainly attractive on the S20FE. If I thought I could deal with the software, I'd probably have already ordered one. I wonder if there is any advantage or disadvantage of getting the unlocked version vs. the T-Mobile version?

I have the same issue. Phones but no cases. Still in processing and the arrival date has changed three times. Now saying the 5th but hasn't shipped. Talked to live chat but that was useless, they said it was ready for shipment and be patient. If it doesn't arrive by the 5th then I will be compensated , whatever that means.

 

[BotanicalStig]

So jealous! Mine just shipped and are supposed to arrive Tuesday. Was hoping I'd get it on launch day but no such luck. My case is coming Monday so I guess that's fine.

you would think they would ship all at once to save on shipping.... I just got a notification for second package coming from texas.....

 

[loganweaponx007]

You would think that. I wouldn't even care really if it was this late but Amazon has no cases that would even ship right now either. Best Buy has zero cases listed just a screen protector. I'm at the point of just going to a T Mobile store and buying a case.
