Yep from the Amazon warehouse deals.

Just had one delivered nice and grippy. Isn't going to help much if you make a habit of bouncing it off the floor but I just wanted something form fitting with extra grip.

Where do you guys find 7 Pro at a good price? I've got used to using the cheaper online sites to find decent deals on 2 year contracts (e.g. £42/mo nothing up front for my s8+ 20 months ago), but can't find the 7 Pro on any of those sites (mobiles.co.uk, mobilephonesdirect.co.uk etc.), or uswitch.
Not averse to buying SIM free, but wondering if there might be any contract deals out there.

Any screen protector you applied?
Man of Honour
Just using the stock one until it dies then I'll go naked.
Soldato
Is the stock screen protector an accessory or is it actually fitted to the phone? I hate screen protectors and don't really understand why people use them.
Man of Honour
It comes fitted, I hate them as well but it's actually pretty decent on this phone as it's factory fitted so there's no wonky fitting or tiny bits of dust caught under it like I've always got when trying to fit my own and it also feels pretty smooth very similar to naked glass.
You can't understand why people would want to not scratch there phone screen?
Soldato
Had my 7 pro suddenly tell me no SIM card present yesterday. A reboot fixed it straight away but a little worrying all the same.

It's factory fitted, so much better than when a human applies it. That said, mine still came with two trapped air bubbles so I ripped it off.
I used to be so anal about screen protectors, and trying to avoid micro scratches but I finally realised that when you come to sell a second hand android phone, it's worth no more in perfect condition than a bad one, so I stop worrying and just enjoy it.
Soldato
That's not what I said.
High end phones come with amazing looking screens, why put a piece of plastic film on it? The plastic film gets scratched much easier than the glass, peels away, traps bubbles and just looks awful.

I also find the touch sensitivity is just ever so slightly off with a screen protector.
Awful things.

Well it happened... Put my keys in my shirt pocket for two seconds as I dropped my daughter off at school.
Went to get the keys, the fob caught the phone and flipped it out. So so nearly caught it, but It fell about 30cm onto the floor. Screen smashed (in free clear case at the time).
Gorilla glass, pah.
Anyway insurance has kicked in and it's now at ctdi in Poland.
It's been there 4 days and is still showing "awaiting parts". Surely they keep stuff like screens in stock.... Seems not.
It got me to thinking, given that screens are the most common replacement by far. Why don't they design the phone to allow them to be replaced from the front target than having to dismantle the whole phone from the back just to unclip the display ribbon cable?
Hope they do a decent job fixing it.... Anyone had any experience with ctdi (the official European OnePlus service agents)?

That's why I put my phone in a bulky case when I'm out. And also why I have a TG screen protector on.
I learnt my lesson after dropping my Nexus 4.

Bit the bullet yesterday and finally ordered the Pro. Thought I'd be happy with my 6T for a while longer and I am, but had a go on one of the display models in a Three store last week and that screen... couldn't help myself.
Ordered a skin from XtremeSkins, don't think I'll bother with a case. First phone I'll be carrying naked. Home insurance should cover it if it gets cracked up but can't remember the last time I ever dropped a phone.

Well if it helps anyone - 2 week holiday including lots of of sand/sunscream and being dropped in the pool on holiday.....OP7 pro - still looks and works perfectly.
Might not have IP rating but dropped to the bottom of a 1.5m pool and fished out after about 10 seconds - no issues.

The fingerprint scanner improvement alone is massive when it comes to general usability.
