MyCo as in your own limited company?Jumped on the S10+ bandwagon, having had my mostly great P20 Pro for a year......just handset ordered, via MyCo, so kinda feels cheaper from getting VAT back
Anyway, the P20 Pro has been a fantastic handset, truly awesome camera, but has always niggled me a bit with its crazy power saving antics.....things like MyAudi app that connects to car's MMI, Canary, Tado and others that rely on the app ticking along quietly deeeep in the background often have been totally shutdown by Huawei's software, probably to improve battery, and my last Samsung (S8+) was far more realistic in such handling....P20 Pro just too aggressive, and manually overriding often too far the other way.
So, Samsung fans, has much changed since S8+??
My interest has led me to sticking in a late pre-order 
sucker so I am.
I think the lack of worldwide warranty on US units was a bit of a concern, got my employee discount scheme off it however through Argos so we'll see if I'll make the 8th for delivery. (Email does state they'll get it on it's way in 2 days...)

Anyone recommend a good case for the S10? My mate has an i-Blason for his S9 which I liked but the listing for the S10 says it isn't compatible with the fingerprint scanner. It's a very sturdy but fairly slim case. Disappointed it's not suitable. Any suggestions for an alternative?
I recently bought a Mous case for my S9+. A few on here have recommended them so thought I'd give one a try. Had a Gear4 case on for nearly a year. So much prefer the Mous as not that bulky and is a really tight fit. Haven't used the included screen protector as have a glass one fitted. Not cheap though but supposed to give good drop protection. Mous do cases for S10, Plus and E.

Thanks for the advice guys, I've cancelled my S10 order and re-ordered the S10+ instead. It's going to be agonizing waiting an extra week for the delivery but I know deep down I would have regretted keeping the S10.

Good choice
The + has 2 front facing cameras
I just ordered the Ringke Onyx for the Mrs, assuming it's the same one for my Note 9 - an excellent case. Not too large/intrusive but offers good protection.
I-blason is just open mold junk, you'll find the exact same thing in a dozen or more brands.
If you really want something where an actual company has done actual r&d then you're really looking at:
Tech21
Gear4
Incipio/Griffin
Mous
Otterbox
The vast majority of cases are just something generic then 90% packaging.
Also yes if you want the finger print sensor to work you can't have anything on the screen that isn't basically a film screen protector like the pre installed one.
I saw the Samsung original protective case yesterday and it's so much thinner than previous generations, well worth a look if you're feeling so inclined.

Hmm, I get a similar SOT with my 3 year old S7 Edge (original 3600mAh battery) - I was hoping the S10 would improve on this. The S7 Edge still lasts me a full day, which is impressive for a 3 year old phone.

Would you not include Spigen?
I really quite like their liquid air cases, dropped my phone a few times thinking it would definitely game over and it's been fine. I've already got this sat waiting:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spigen-Enh..._SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=spigen+s10+
I'm not 100% sure, I'm fairly sure they at least started as just another rebranding setup.
My point is you have in Tech21 the people who originally licensed D30 then used that as a springboard to create their own R&D and now actually create products, Gear4 are the current licensees of D30 (the orange goo that you saw on dragons den) and are owned by Mophie, credible players.
Incipio bought Griffin who were one of the originators of the rugged case and have a rich R&D history.
Otterbox also are a humongous company with genuine R&D who just never really made it in Europe.
Mous are a kicksarter darling who again made their own product with their own R&D etc.
The point is they are brands creating original presumably patented products attached to a brand that requires customer loyalty etc..
Then there are a million and one brands that could vanih and reappear as something else tomorrow because they just buy the same crap you can get for $1 of alibaba and have their name stamped on it (and sometimes don't even bother with that).
It's a triumph of branding and an understandable naivety (I've sadly made a career of knowing this sort of thing.. nobody else would be interested lol) that gets people recommending things like i-blason..

The battery was one of the reasons I changed my S10 order to the S10 plus.
Is there any way to change the delivery date of the order? I went for the 512gb ceramic white under the upgrade program and it's delivering it to my home address (I didn't see an option to change it but I did rush through it). Might just have to WFH on Friday otherwise.
