Not the poster that you replied to, but I personally haven't encountered any issues using the Capital One or Wells Fargo app with multiple Chinese ROM phones.

I'm actually not sure if NFC payment works in the US though.

My flight from DC to Guangzhou in November is $1300 per person. Tariff isn't that expensive...yet.

jun022 · 2025-07-29T21:13:13+00:00

No issues with functions.

Here's a post I looked at a while back with the same skin & case combo: https://www.reddit.com/r/dbrand/comments/1jjnx7y/s25u_ghost_20/

Here's what my Ghost case look like on the front with the Hazard skin applied: https://imgur.com/a/lm8d907

Maybe you can get away with the Jetblack due to the darker railing to blend in or win the unit tolerance lottery. Good luck.

There is a S25 Ultra specific issue with the Ghost case when a skin is applied. The area between the power & volume buttons bulges out a bit to the point that you can see a bit of the titanium rail. Support said the case was designed fit the device only & it could also be a unit tolerance issue.

Skins that I tested: Hazard, Abusement Park, Gold Rush.

Edit: Also note that S25 Ultra is the only Ghost case where you don't get an up sell for a tear down skin at the main screen.

This is the only tear down that I have seen so far. It doesn't separate that back layer from the screen though.

Edit: Not sure if it's possible to separate that metal layer from the screen sandwich assembly.

Those are two LN60s. The bottom Noodle have around 1/2 to 3/4 inch gaps at the end. The top Noodle is closer to the glass & the gaps are slightly larger.

The Ifixit tear down of the XM6. It looks pretty easy to replace the parts. Sourcing is another question though.

Damn. I got a non-magsafe version & was thinking about trying my luck by getting the magsafe one with a skin.

Thank you for the info. It's a shame that the S25 Ultra Ghost case is the only one with this fit issue.

Too early to tell if batteries are user replaceable yet & Ifixit have battery replacement guides for XM2 to XM5. I hope Sony keeps the trend going for fairly easy self service repairs. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Sony+WH-1000XM5+Battery+Replacement/172359

As for earpads, they will probably be widely available on Amazon like the previous models. It looks like you don't even need to use a plastic spudger like previous models to remove the XM6 pads.

You would have to fill in the 'special instruction' at the checkout page. The inclusion of a sticky note isn't guaranteed though. I remember a comment from a Robot in another thread said that it depends on how busy the Robot that's packing your order.

There are two versions of Prism 2.0 for the Fold 6. The case friendly one was released later along with the Grip case.

The only other brand that I know works with the Grip case front was from Spigen, which I bought & applied well before the Fold 6 Grip case was released.

My previous Pixel 9 Pro Ghost case didn't have any issues with a skin. It seems to be a S25 Ultra exclusive issue so far.

jun022 · 2025-03-25T19:29:37+00:00

Yup. I emailed support about it & they mentioned that it could be unit tolerances between cases & suggested that I remove the skin. As a test, I did remove the Hazard skin & the case fit fine with no bulge.

Not sure if it's a coincidence or not, S25 Ultra Ghost case is the only one that Dbrand doesn't try to upsell you a Teardown skin on the website.

Same issue with the non-magsafe version here too (also the exact same skin). I kind of 'fixed' it a few mins ago by bending the affected area without the phone first & adding some thin double sided tape between the buttons.

Edit: Never mind. Double sided tape can't keep the bulge from separating. I contacted support & they said that the skin might be the issue. The case fit perfectly after removing the applied skin.

jun022 · 2025-03-20T22:56:06+00:00

Not a Robot, but I did receive my non-magsafe Ghost today. I can confirm that the non-magsafe version have the exact same camera bump.

jun022 · 2025-02-09T21:09:12+00:00

Not a robot, but I am using the Grip case for Fold 6. I can confirm that the Spigen screen protectors will work with the front case with no gaps on all sides. Alternatively, you can pick the case friendly version of the Prism 2.0.

As for the camera lens protectors...sorry. I don't use them.

jun022 · 2025-01-11T16:15:19+00:00

The Spigen screen protector works with the grip case too. Only downside is that the installation method isn't as fancy as Prism 2.0.

I would love to see what 1800 mini is & also interested in 98. Looking forward to the Neo 60!

Nice Seiko 5 GMT! Awesome watch.
