Mine's arrived, a quick check then back to work for me.
Adjust the colour balance then, if you're having to get it corroborated it can't be that bad.

UK mail are awesome. When i received my tracking number last night, i clicked it and said i wanted to collect from depot and it allowed me to collect at 8am this morning, and as it was on the way to work it was extremely convenient 
Phone is awesome

I'll post some pictures up soon however quick first impressions are that I am extremely impressed with the official Silicone and Clear Covers from Samsung.
I was expecting both to have a bit of bulk behind them but the Clear Cover is a nice hard plastic which is soooooo thin it's impressive and still manages to be raised around the top and bottom 2 corners of the S8. It also looks fantastic, I got the 'black' one which is essentially a darker plastic so that when it's on the phone it isn't as obvious as a normal clear cover would be.
The Silicone cover as well is extremely thin and feels great in the hand. This I was surprised about as when compared to Apple's silicone cover it has nowhere near the amount of bulk that thing carries.
One great aspect of the official cases is that the there is a strip of the material to separate the Camera Module + Flash from the Finger Print Scanner...this works a treat.
I'm really impressed as you can tell and I would recommend both to anyone without hesitation.

I am still looking for a high quality pouch for mine, emailed Sena where i normally get them from they said another few weeks away
I have bought the fitbag ones in the past which are pretty decent for the money.
So is there anywhere i can order an s8 and get it delivered before the 28th at the moment?

Colour balance doesn't sort it, I've got it to on the top of the screen, might return mine and get a replacement

Working fine on mine.
First phone in a while that takes an SD card. I take it any class 10 will do?

sounds good! i tried to look at them in the samsung store but they wouldn't open the packaging....
agreed, exchanging tomorrow.
They are honestly so much better than I expected and I'm certainly sticking with the Clear Cover for now as it really doesn't detract from the phones look at all!

How did you manage to get the Clear Cover so fast? I was only able to pre-order mine
Is the Silicone cover the soft touch cover?
