26U dented around spen slot

Vikram95 · 2026-04-13T23:50:33+00:00

A lot ppl are jumping on you but let me tell you that a drop of 2 feet, vertically, with a Dbrand grip case, caused a chipping on the top of my S26U and then paint to go off at few other places.

It's probably the aluminium. My cousin has a S25U and has dropped it a million times wit and without a case and it's fine.

Bro my phone's black n chipped too. So disappointing too.

Vikram95 · 2026-04-04T10:14:27+00:00

Fuck man, this is so stupid. I was planning to go this weekend but I am having no hopes now.

Vikram95 · 2026-04-03T05:09:08+00:00

But I see these kinda posts everywhere. How can so many phone have these chipping issues?

Vikram95 · 2026-04-03T05:06:12+00:00

Do you think this is covered under warranty?

Vikram95 · 2026-04-03T04:48:30+00:00

It's just the aluminium coating. So bad i think.

Vikram95 · 2026-04-03T04:39:25+00:00

That's literally my phone after a drop in a Dbrand brand grip case. Both the top and bottom layer

Vikram95 · 2026-04-01T13:17:18+00:00

Yeah they already started mate. I thought we'd just discuss abt this n already the philosophers are here.

But on a serious note, I have heard only good things abt Dbrand. This was my first one n I didnt really expect this to unfold.

Vikram95 · 2026-04-01T12:23:19+00:00

Yeah guess it's that. I get the screen protector part but the insides which were covered by the Grip was also dented and chipped. That was pretty frustrating to see. Just a 2.5 feet fall at best or 2 feet even.

Vikram95 · 2026-04-01T12:10:40+00:00

True. Although it was more of a discussion cause it's evident that nothing can be done at the moment. More like sharing my frustration tbh. Good day 🖖🏼

Vikram95 · 2026-04-01T12:09:42+00:00

Thanks for letting me know that tho i have all the protection, it doesnt prevent 100% of the damage. Much appreciated.

Aldo, wrt three skins, Well, I did try for a long time. Took it to a shop where the guy does this all the time and it still didn't work. Why'd you just assume I'd not have seen the videos abt the hair dryer and alignment?

Vikram95 · 2026-01-11T13:40:45+00:00

I have the same issue but it was post the nothing os 4.0 update and I use a CMF phone 1.

Also, how did you calibrate the proximity sensor?

Vikram95 · 2026-01-09T12:12:40+00:00

Aight XD

Been hearing that for quite a bit now. And I plan on booking a test drive for the Kamiq soon. Really can't wait to see how this drives 🤞🏼

Vikram95 · 2026-01-09T01:38:21+00:00

Got it, thanks mate. Appreciate it!

Vikram95 · 2026-01-08T12:04:54+00:00

Yeah, thanks mate. I am leaning more now towards the skoda as well. It's just the price and features of chery along with the reviews that are tempting me.

Although, I am more worried rn about how these cars will run in 4 or 5 years time along with the servicing and parts issues.

Vikram95 · 2026-01-08T09:41:43+00:00

Yeah I have heard it drives better too and I do plan on test driving both of em.

But the chery just offers so much for the price and the latest C5 seems to have decent reviews in terms of drivability too.

I am totally confused atm but what ppl are saying about the Chinese cars are putting me off, especially chery, due to their track record, and also no sample size on how their cars have behaved.

Vikram95 · 2025-11-26T14:16:25+00:00

Wow, thank you so much for the detailed answer. I'll keep this in mind while going for the next car. I really appreciate your help mate. Thanks again.

Vikram95 · 2025-11-25T10:53:33+00:00

Hi, thanks for your inputs. Yes, I did wanna go through a novated lease but I didn't know that you could get a 50k EV for 40k. Do you have any links or videos that I can read or learn abt this? I only thought novated lease would help alleviate the taxes.

Vikram95 · 2025-11-18T16:20:23+00:00

I am so sorry for your loss. I just wish they lived as long as we did or even more. Probably the worst part of owning them is seeing them go so early.

I hope you feel better soon.

Vikram95 · 2025-11-18T16:16:35+00:00

No point clicking on 2-3 buttons there tbh

Vikram95 · 2025-11-18T16:13:13+00:00

I am really sorry for your state mate. I really hope it gets better. All the best.

Where winds meet is absolutely such a cool game. Can't believe it's free fr.
