I've found it okay on the 6P, though use Chroma keyboard (well worth keeping an eye - it's a little buggy at the moment) or Gboard for consistency.
ewwwwwww my spigen case turned up - what is this monstrosity!!!
sure the description said black - its all clear with just a black line around it lol.
oh well, my cheapo emergency case it shall be
Lol... did you not look at the picture? It's the slim armor/tough armor ones that aren't transparent.
Also, what's that lag people are talking about? I'm still on Note 4 and don't have lag typing... don't remember seeing one when trying the s8 either. The only slowdowns I get is when the old trusty SD805 is giving up with too many things running in the background and videos in browsers sometimes - nothing to do with touch wiz.. I think that whole argument is just as valid as "nvidia has better gpu drivers" or "iPhones are easier to use".
Perhaps it's an Error 40 case..

I used to get lag on typing on the Note 7 sometimes ; I get it on my note 3.
I definitely notice it

Did you not look at the picture? I mean, it's right there on the page. You literally have to scroll past it to order it.
Erm, I did 30 emails using SwiftKey last night, not a single issue.
SwiftKey is well known to randomly attack people with colossal input lag. Change keyboards and profit.

Same here, no lag on my S6 or my gf's S7 - I'm convinced people install too much crap

Ah right so it's more a universal thing as opposed to the phone
Sounds like error 40, perhaps there is a combination of apps, maybe something running in the background that's causing it. I remember having the antutu CPU monitor running for a while and it used to cause problems. Could even be Wi-Fi network or signal dropping massively for few milliseconds.
And neither iPhone nor Pixel are free of those issues.
There isn't a perfect OS or perfect phone, it's just how the world works nowadays.

My temptation went away when I saw the handset in person
. That longphone look is not for me.
That sounds right, the official release date is 28 April.

yes but the company was offering it 8 days earlier I suspect it still stands - only they are no longer offering 8 days early
That's what I was getting at - are they saying the 29th so that my expectations aren't set, when in reality they're likely to dispatch the handset earlier? I'm not desperate for it, but would like to lock in the recycle value of my existing phone in case it drops. The company I'm looking at guarantees a price for 10 days.

It's more than likely you will get on 21st if you ordered within that date - current advertisement would be for new orders, not existing, but feel free to get it confirmed
lol - I did but musta been the angle of the screen on me laptop or somat - doh! - serves me right for making midnight purchases just before bed
It'll do as a temp for now.
It's the Neo Hybrid that I usually go for. Either that or the Casemate 'barely there' cases
Hmmmm looking at this one in Clear but they're oricey, wondering how much difference is there between those different brands, I definitely don't want a soft silicone one as they discolour quickly
I used the casemate on my last phone the Z3. Loved it because it covered all the edges and provided all round protection. The one for the S8 though i can see easily clipping off when dropped due to the screen curves.
It doesnt look it will do much good if the device is dropped tho so gunna wait till local shops have them in before taking the plunge
