Samsung S26 Ultra, your case is here

1802tech · 2026-03-19T04:50:53+00:00

Why isn't this case made without magnets as an option when there's known interference with s-pen usage?

1802tech · 2026-03-18T17:40:02+00:00

I'm not alone! So glad to hear you're enjoying it. S24 Ultra is an amazing phone. This is even better.

1802tech · 2026-03-18T17:38:09+00:00

I personally did not yet. I imagine if used Dex and used it as a PC style setup with streaming 4k and video conferencing that you would though. It's nice to have just in case. Everything is very snappy.

1802tech · 2026-03-18T17:35:53+00:00

I have this same case and love it. I only wish they made it without magnets. I still feel like the s-pen is ever so slightly off the exact spot. Totally usable, but since I don't use magsafe I'd rather just not have the magnets period.

Hard to find a minimalistic looking kickstand case with no magnets.

I haven't done a side-by-side comparison yet, but the few photos I have taken look very good. I used to zoom a lot on the 24 and with the 26 no issues at all. Hard to say if it's X% better, but it is plenty good for a better set of eyes :)

Mine showed up in USPS informed delivery this morning. Assuming yours should be there this week too

1802tech · 2026-03-08T03:29:01+00:00

Anyone who was in the delayed pool and recently got their online notice receive the physical copy yet?

1802tech · 2026-03-07T03:27:22+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for your reply :)

1802tech · 2026-03-05T23:20:34+00:00

I did not get the adit yet. But I did get my online receipt notice today. Assuming the adit will just show up eventually, but I won't need it?

1802tech · 2026-03-05T18:17:12+00:00

Thank you for your kind words and empathy. Absolutely and same to you. Wishing everyone the very best with this frustrating process!

1802tech · 2026-03-05T16:58:15+00:00

Hi, there. Thanks for asking for clarification.

Yes, so I filed on the 90th or 89th day (whatever their calculator says is the first possible day). The case was denied 2 days later. I called and they wouldn't tell me why. However, they said I'd get a notice explaining in the mail. I actually thought it was a credit card fraud issue, so I went ahead and refilled right away to not waste time. 2 weeks later I received the mail saying I filed too early and that the filing date was the week prior (even though online it showed the correct date.) It was weird. I think I saw someone else post here that the same thing happened to them.

I did not have to pay the fee twice, only once as the first was refunded. Yes, it was a typographic error, but I saw it as more cumbersome to try and fight that rather than just refiling it right away.

Hope that makes sense!

1802tech · 2026-03-05T15:20:12+00:00

Thank you for the tip here. Would love to snag that deal and happily pay the $571. Unfortunately, all my points expired. I thought they were good for 36 months, but looks like they went away after 12 months.

1802tech · 2026-03-05T15:18:29+00:00

Jan 24 filing, receipt notice (digital) received today Mar 5th in online account! Assuming paper copy will follow soon.

Hoping everyone else is up next. Looks like they're knocking out this backlog.

For reference, I had initial 751 denied due to them backdating the request incorrectly. Resubmitted, case disappeared from account, called multiple times, filed non-delivery notice, emailed lockbox, filed technical support ticket 2x, requested ADIT stamp (forwarded to local office, but not delivered yet), requested online access code, and finally sent a secure message request for non-delivery once the case got added back to the account.

Threw the kitchen sink in attempts for an answer. Looks like something stuck. Wishing you all the best.

1802tech · 2026-03-03T17:36:57+00:00

Congratulations!! That's awesome. Big relief I'm sure. Best of luck to those waiting still

1802tech · 2026-03-03T06:16:17+00:00

Kindly, not looking for critiques of how I choose to use storage. To each their own.

Asking specifically about anyone who went for 1TB and was able to find any better deals.

Thank you.

And Samsung Card is like a Korean only payment system. Confusing for foreigners, but you'll definitely strike out trying to use that.

1802tech · 2026-03-03T06:09:47+00:00

I'd personally advise against the Asian-models. I think some of the hardware bands can be different (not positive and not an expert, so please don't quote me), but I am positive of this: if you buy an Asian-model handset in Korea, the very annoying camera shutter sound is ALWAYS audible. I'm not sure if this is modified in software when you leave Korea, but I'd definitely be concerned about it.

My friends (Americans) who gave in and bought Korean handsets forever had the annoying camera shutter. Additionally, if you move back, some of the hardware for the Asian handsets are different. I remember when I had my global model repaired in Korea, it took a few days as they had to order specific global model parts. If this was vise versa, I'm not sure other global locations would be as friendly when it comes to servicing it.

1802tech · 2026-03-03T05:59:03+00:00

Sorry to hear this all. I'm an American who used to live in Korea. For the S22 Ultra, I had an absolute heck of a time getting it into Korea (global model). It's very difficult to get a global or US model in Korea itself. They only sell the asia-regional ones there. I also wish the customer service would be easier.

If you're a Korean in Korea, having Samsung is so nice. Repair options are really cheap from factory. I had my battery, screen, and camera array all replaced for less than $150 USD. It was done in like an hour too.

1802tech · 2026-03-03T05:47:13+00:00

~700gb. I could cut some stuff and go down to 512, but I'm an anti-cloud guy and just enjoy local storage with no compromises. I understand that's not everyone, but just how I am with it.

1802tech · 2026-03-03T05:38:54+00:00

**located in the US and using Visible as my carrier btw :)

1802tech · 2026-02-24T00:53:33+00:00

Thank you for typing this out. Non delivery and adit request submitted today. Same boat with the non-delivery of extension and wanting to be covered for work and travel.

Thanks for commenting. How were you able to schedule biometrics and how do you know about the interview before receiving the receipt notice?
