This is our most detailed review to date! And probably one of the most detailed Note 20 Ultra reviews on the internet too. Production: - close to 2 full months of daily testing, as my daily driver - multiple days of scripting - multiple days of shooting - multiple days of editing - 33 minutes long Covering: - Lineup - Design - Display - Camera - Performance - Special Features - Software - Battery Life - Value Hope you guys like it!
To fix the "not being able to use SPen if phone is lying flat", simply buy a case that evens out the back camera section w/ the rest of the body. SOLVED.
That's true, I purchased one :), not because of this very reason but mostly 9 out of 10 people would buy a case to have a reasonable protection for that expensive phone..!!
Do you think the battery life is long enough for 4,5 hours of using the pen for writing? ( NOT with the Snapdragon 865+ processor) Thanks!! Just thinking about buying that phone
@@rubimat5162 Hello yes I think that would be entirely possible. I have the Exynos version also which admittedly isn’t the best battery life but it’s definitely on the better side of average 👍
and it feels so good to hold. Even in one hand! And i have always gone for the smaller form factors because my hands aren't large enough. Best looking and most comfortable
@@dr.williamlutherpierce8720 love mine ..had the 20 5g for 3 days and returned it ..cost me $55 but was worth it considering this would b my phone for the next 3 yrs
You have to take what you need from these reviews and leave the rest. Know what you're value is and make your own decision. I'm still getting one this weekend. This is the first negative review I've seen so far so.........
Great detailed review! I've been using the exynos version for more than a month now and I love it! Battery improved overtime. I am now getting 8hrs of SoT as compared to about 5hrs in the first few weeks. S-pen is handy when signing documents, editing and a lot more. The camera takes amazing shots. The Note20U package is one of the best phones in the market right now!
@@BlueGearReviews heating not so much unless signal is very poor and data is on. Battery life is mediocre. Been getting 5hrs SoT again if I am connected to cellular data. Wifi gives longer battery consumption
I absolutely LOVE this phone. Two things that would've made it better: 1) keep the S pen on the right side. 2) separate the power & volume buttons more. My Pixel was opposite, power on top of the volume rockers and I continually press the power button while looking to lower the volume instead. That's frustrating. Need another half inch gap between power and volume keys. They're too close together.
@@judenjilah7996, agreed. 256 GB should've been standard. I'm sure Samsung knew their chip obviously wasn't on par with the Snapdragon 865+ so they wanted to give those getting the Exynos chip more memory as restitution. While I definitely would've preferred 256 GB of memory, given the choice of Snapdragon 865+ w/128 GB vs Exynos w/256 GB, I, along with the majority of users would opt for the better Snapdragon chip. Having the SD card makes 128 vs 256 not that big a deal.
@shiestjoo the advantage with owning a Note is that you can easily download a Gcam mod if you don't like the default Samsung camera and still keep the other benefits of the phone, but if you own a pixel device, the only benefit you get is the camera (especially for pictures because Samsung cameras have better zoom & ultra wide cameras)
I got mine on August 17th and I luv it! I have the 512gb model in Mystic Black. It is a fingerprint magnet but it's in a case 24/7 so doesn't really matter. I also purchased a Z Fold 2 on September 18th. Kept it for about a week but returned it in favor of the Note 20 Ultra. This phone is a beast!

Awesome review!! It's so detailed, I really appreciate it. I've had the note 20 ultra for about a month and I must say I'm loving it! I saved your review to watch more than once because it's so informative. Thank you very much.
I love the note 20 ultra, just upgraded from the note 8..its a great phone! Nice screen and speakers are great, but I would of preferred a flat screen cuz its better for drawing, and I really miss the notification LED..battery life could have been better and for $1300 it should have came with earbuds and s pen tips but still an amazing phone
I have the Snapdragon version of the Note 20 Ultra since it came out. I love it. So far, I've had no problems with it. Can't beat my Huawei Mate 20X at battery life, but not really a problem. I love the s-pen, which is why I've had all the Note phones.

@@kerijin You are making right decision. I can't go back to ios again after use split screens on note 20 ultra lol. I am tired of apps being forced close due to not enough of ram on ios.
To me, the curved display makes the Note 20 Ultra screen the absolute most beautiful phone screen that I have ever seen!! Enough to make me, an iphone user since my 5s, my very first smartphone, switch over to Android. And I have loved it ever since!

Very rarely comment on TH-cam, but felt compelled on this occasion. Just gotta say I agree with the many comments praising this review. Very professional imo. Such a pleasure to actually watch a non biased review (as far as any person can be anyway), that covers all, or majority of bases in a mature, informative and entertaining way. I watch loads of TH-cam content - a real wide mix of stuff - and it's always nice when you happen upon something genuinely worthy of a subscribe. And just to balance out that positive angle (this is the Internet after all 😉), the almighty TH-cam algorithm still needs a kick in the nuts at times. Of course it's different for everyone, but my god, the amount of dreadful vids I have endured , before it threw up this one, is crazy. Sometimes it seems like there's actually no logic or rules governing what is thrust upon us...
You're such a softie. Ou, the edges hurt, the phone wobbles. Rolling my eyes. A case will fix that. I love my note 20 ultra. But I still enjoy your reviews. By the way, Tech21 has the best cases! I was disappointed in Spigen cases after shattering the back of my S8+. No protection at all!
@@noventay4 i don't recall that i was on a roof, maybe the doghouse roof. What i do recall is taking it out of my pocket and fell straight to the ground.
In my experience of dropping many a smartphone while working on the railroad, it all comes down to where it hits. I've dropped phones off an engine from 20 feet and not have them break because they landed flat on their face or square on its back, and in others, I've had them fall out of my pocket 3 feet, land right on a corner and it shatters instantly. The case does have some to do with it, but the area where it lands has significantly more to do with if it's going to break.
The overheating issue is one that I can relate to! I got mine a week after release and the first few days of having it I thought it was faulty so had it replaced but then realised the replacement was no different! Weirdly it gets less hot now but still has its moment! 🙄
Comprehensive , non bias and very educational review , managed to order a Note 20 ultra with SD865 version after watching this video . Thanks a lot for the advice! Would love the Spigen case too if its still available.. the tough armor version looks good .. love spigen as it is very afordable and protects the phone well , been using spigen for many years.
I traded my note 8 for the note 20 5g..then regretted not getting the ultra.. so took the 5g back and got the ultra .. so happy I did..HUGE Upgrade from the 8
Is it worth it to wait 4 months for the s21 ultra? Considering that it might support the S-pen and that the exynos version (that my region gets) is going to be considerably better (approximately 4Ghz instead of 2.73Ghz)
I had mine for over a week now, I'm still learning about my new Samsung Ultra and it amaze me everytime 😆 so far I can say this is the best 👌thank you so much for innovating Samsung.
I'm not native in English, but I usually watch your videos without subtitles cuz I got used to watch Tech videos in English but, in 7:35 , "I haven't really been able to note is that much of an improvement" was sooo fast, I replayed it for many times in order to understand it :)
Awesome video. Pre-ordered my Note 20 Ultra (US) and have used it for 2 months. I love it, especially the Large screen display for movies and TH-cam. Using the AT&T Promo, I returned my Note 9, receiving $1000, so my phone cost $300, with an extra Samsung $150 Free accessories, I picked up the Galaxy Buds Plus. I average 6.5 hours of Screen on Time, I unplug at 8am and by 12am I still have 20-25% power left.
question. just bought one on amazon, it arrives next week. im a little concern since on amazon that square containing the cameralenses seems to be bronze color. but in the video it looks black. so whats up?
Hey there! After watching a video, I hope you relieve your eyestrain. Let me help you with some exercises. 🐈⬛ 1. Stretch out your arm (about 10in) and look at your thumb for 10 seconds. 2. Put your hand down and look ahead for 10 seconds at this turn. 3. Again, stretch out your arm(which you used just before) and thumb up and then bring it in front of your face (about 4in) slowly keeping eyes on it. 4. Look front and move your eyes everywhere (left, right, up, down) 5 times It seems like a little bit weird but I'm pretty sure it would make you feel still better tho. Always be nice with your eyes, best wishes.
I was going back and forward on phones. One phone had some features that I love about it, but I always come back to another phone because I miss some features from it. Now with note 20 I don't have reason to go back on some phones. Why I need case. I just wanna protect my beauty
Love seeing Manchester in all your videos. Performance very interesting. That's why I bit the bullet and upgraded to the Z fold 2 as a fellow UK tech nerd. Seems like I made the right choice! Snapdragon United!
Since no Note next year, I have the Note 10 plus, should I get the Note 20 Ultra or get the S21 Ultra with pen and supported case? But im a note lover. Or will most just jump brands due to that?
My only gripe has been that the only color available on the 512Gb was Mystic Black...I wish the Mystic Bronze was more like the Metallic Copper from the Note 9..
Right now i'm using iPhone 7plus and i've been using it since it came out and i want to upgrade but i can't choose between iPhone 11Pro Max or Note 20 Ultra (exynoss)... what do you guys think?
I was considering trading in for the note 20 ultra since my note 10 ultra sometimes takes weird photos. Doesn’t do well in low light, images of people within 5 - 6 feet or so will, for example, make their head too big in relation to their body. I have some photos i took of a bridge scenery and one photo the bridge was near the right side of the frame and it was leaning over to the right. I don’t change anything with the camera settings. My wife has an iPhone 11 Pro and her photos are always nice. So I might sell my note 10 and order the 12 pro max. Thanks for the video review.
Exynos not so bad.its like 855 snapdragon!I have Exynos and till now I am very happy.ok,snapdragon is better, but ...its not the end of the world and at daily use except 15% battery life, nothing annoying
"This phone is a mess" lmboo.... You cant compare it to the perfect nonexisting phone in your head.. I'm getting one this weekend... Tired of this iphone, they're boring.
That’s true although I have and IPhone and I love. For me I just feel like the customization ends up cluttering the phone and slowing it down more than anything.
Mine is on its way as I just purchased mine in Australia which is the Exynos version. I am now concerned about the heating up issue. Perhaps a case will fix this issue..... I've seen a case fixes the hump issue on a flat surfaces so that is a plus. Crossing fingers it will be ok..... I'm upgrading from a beloved note 9 which I'm keeping as a back up phone..... From Sony Xperia to the notes and never looked back.
I would love a case because my phone looks amazing but I can't trust myself. Its an amazing handset even though I got the exynos. But I'm on samsung upgrade program so I can get the note 21 next year;) @iamdannyberry
Would love a Spigen case for my note 20 ultra! Was planning on buying one initially but it is not available here in South Africa and I needed a cover ASAP. However this is the perfect opportunity to try get one !! Twitter handle: @moec007
@@flyingraijin9889 yeahh I know but shipping from overseas always takes ages and I needed a cover asap. But idk when we'll be getting the spigen cases here or if we ever will
Zone of tech always does such thourgh reviews and videos. That's one of the reasons why I wish to win a case for my Note 20 Ultra during your giveaway. My Twitter handle is Cnyce444
I used to get new phones all the time. Thinking about getting this but my note 9 is still going strong. Many exciting phones coming out. Duo, ultra 20, galaxy fold 2. Might pull the trigger, might wait until next year.
I came from note 8 to note 20 ultra and it was a massive upgrade. BUT the note 9 is in the sweet spot Id say. If you have dolby atmos on the note 9 id stick with it and keep the headphone jack. If you want larger screen or for the camera go for it. Although if you don't know how to operate a camera very well and look at all the different settings within the camera I would say dont get it for the camera.
Great Job! Smart, comprehensive and frankly professional without being stuffy...I love the notes...had one of each model from inception (except 10) , bought the note 20Ultra and was looking for case reviews when I came across your review...your effort and delivery was incredibly valuable. Feel better about my Canadian Frankenstein! Now for a case...:). Cheers
Watching from the Philippines! Is the giveaway still svailable? Just got my Note 20 Ultra LTE yesterday. I'm looking for a good case but they are expensive. 😅
This is weird, my Exynos version gets at least 6 hours of SOT with around 7 hours of screen off time and all features turned on. Just wondering, do you put your main sim card on the phone for these 2 months?
US varient Note20 Ultra 5G supports Esim ? For me I can't see esim option. But when I contacted Samsung support, they said it supports esim. But on the there is only 1 IMEI number.
Love the squared corners and curved display! Why aren’t there more of them? Frosted glass black and white models are definitely a huge oversight by Samsung. What were they thinking?
Do you think the battery life is long enough for 4,5 hours of using the pen for writing? ( NOT with the Snapdragon 865+ processor) Thanks!! Just thinking about buying that phone
Thank you for an honest and thorough review! Unfortunately, I’m too late for the case entry. Other than that, thank you! I’m on my way to pick mine up right now.
Great comprehensive review! I love how your videos are usually longer ones! I'd like to win a case because right now I have a Samsung leather case for work and an ESR tempered glass for social and I'd like to diversify my case collection.

I've dropped phones off an engine from 20 feet and not have them break because they landed flat on their face or square on its back, and in others, I've had them fall out of my pocket 3 feet, land right on a corner and it shatters instantly. The case does have some to do with it, but the area where it lands has significantly more to do with if it's going to break.
The overheating issue is one that I can relate to! I got mine a week after release and the first few days of having it I thought it was faulty so had it replaced but then realised the replacement was no different! Weirdly it gets less hot now but still has its moment! 🙄
Yours is it the exynos or snapdragon chip?
It's only on the exynos
@@MK-ir1chI'm based in the UK so mine's Exynos which is a bummer tbh
@Almumin it's not bad tbh, just deficient and ineffectient in some aspects
I am not happy with my exynos camera. Are u? I feel most pictures cant focus properly
Comprehensive , non bias and very educational review , managed to order a Note 20 ultra with SD865 version after watching this video . Thanks a lot for the advice! Would love the Spigen case too if its still available.. the tough armor version looks good .. love spigen as it is very afordable and protects the phone well , been using spigen for many years.
I have the note 8, it's nice and good enough still love it, may upgrade to the note 20 ultra next year.
I traded my note 8 for the note 20 5g..then regretted not getting the ultra.. so took the 5g back and got the ultra .. so happy I did..HUGE Upgrade from the 8
My husband has the note 9 and loves messing around with my 20 note ultra. The only thing stopping him from upgrading is the headphone jack
Is it worth it to wait 4 months for the s21 ultra?
Considering that it might support the S-pen and that the exynos version (that my region gets) is going to be considerably better (approximately 4Ghz instead of 2.73Ghz)
yinon Count Unless you want the Z Fold 2, yes, you should wait.
I traded my OP8Pro with Note 20 Ultra. Loving it so far 😍
I have the Korean one 😁
I've just received mine today and can't wait to use it.
incredible phone.
i do love the curved edge ♥️
Yeah. Full of scratches after 2 months. There s no good screen protection solution with shitty edge displays
I had mine for over a week now, I'm still learning about my new Samsung Ultra and it amaze me everytime 😆 so far I can say this is the best 👌thank you so much for innovating Samsung.
I'm not native in English, but I usually watch your videos without subtitles cuz I got used to watch Tech videos in English but, in 7:35 , "I haven't really been able to note is that much of an improvement" was sooo fast, I replayed it for many times in order to understand it :)
Hello Zoneof tech... What kind of watch you wearing on this video?.. and also is working either the note 20?.. thank you
I returned mine, as I was not impressed with the battery life. Great phone, however we in the UK needed SD version. Battery life is very poor
Well that sucks
Awesome video. Pre-ordered my Note 20 Ultra (US) and have used it for 2 months. I love it, especially the Large screen display for movies and TH-cam. Using the AT&T Promo, I returned my Note 9, receiving $1000, so my phone cost $300, with an extra Samsung $150 Free accessories, I picked up the Galaxy Buds Plus. I average 6.5 hours of Screen on Time, I unplug at 8am and by 12am I still have 20-25% power left.
31:36 I'm getting Michael Scott Tots vibes 😂
Scott's Tots ! Michael giving out Laptop Battery instead of the Laptop itself.
XD
question. just bought one on amazon, it arrives next week. im a little concern since on amazon that square containing the cameralenses seems to be bronze color. but in the video it looks black. so whats up?
Hey there! After watching a video, I hope you relieve your eyestrain.
Let me help you with some exercises.
🐈⬛
1. Stretch out your arm (about 10in) and look at your thumb for 10 seconds.
2. Put your hand down and look ahead for 10 seconds at this turn.
3. Again, stretch out your arm(which you used just before) and thumb up and then bring it in front of your face (about 4in) slowly keeping eyes on it.
4. Look front and move your eyes everywhere (left, right, up, down) 5 times
It seems like a little bit weird but I'm pretty sure it would make you feel still better tho.
Always be nice with your eyes, best wishes.
s-pen included in the box for even USA buyers as per Samsung sales agent. Is this what you mentioned in your videos or I am reading something else?
I was going back and forward on phones. One phone had some features that I love about it, but I always come back to another phone because I miss some features from it. Now with note 20 I don't have reason to go back on some phones. Why I need case. I just wanna protect my beauty
Love seeing Manchester in all your videos. Performance very interesting. That's why I bit the bullet and upgraded to the Z fold 2 as a fellow UK tech nerd. Seems like I made the right choice! Snapdragon United!
Best phone ever as always
Since no Note next year, I have the Note 10 plus, should I get the Note 20 Ultra or get the S21 Ultra with pen and supported case? But im a note lover. Or will most just jump brands due to that?
9:08 You will care when you break the front glass and it costs $500 to repair! Great video though!
And at that time people will be selling used for 400 lol
I'm really surprised as I just realised you were videoing my apartment in your review, LOL!
I definitely like the curve on s 20,s20 plus and s20 ultra a lot not like the galaxy s 6 edge phones both that kind of edge lol
My only gripe has been that the only color available on the 512Gb was Mystic Black...I wish the Mystic Bronze was more like the Metallic Copper from the Note 9..
Yes..only 3 colors ..white In my region very hard to find ..I had to settle for the black one ..bronze looks to pink for me
@@georgemedina3712 absolutely...I was really hoping for more of a brown tone..or at least some matte
Buying a 1300$ phone without a case is like buying a car without wheels.
😂
LOL...not a bad analogy as I'm currently in that situation and frankly don't pick the phone up much...but what wheels do I buy? hmmm.
I don't think I've bought a phone that came with a case.
It's like buying a luxury car and not getting it Vinyl wrapped
Right now i'm using iPhone 7plus and i've been using it since it came out and i want to upgrade but i can't choose between iPhone 11Pro Max or Note 20 Ultra (exynoss)... what do you guys think?
If you're not deep in the 🍎 ecosystem go Note
I’m using 11 pro max and note 20 ultra Exynos , I spent most of my time with note 20 ultra. But please take note of the bad battery.
Stay with iPhone
IPhone 12 event has been confirrmed, looking forward to that
I was considering trading in for the note 20 ultra since my note 10 ultra sometimes takes weird photos. Doesn’t do well in low light, images of people within 5 - 6 feet or so will, for example, make their head too big in relation to their body. I have some photos i took of a bridge scenery and one photo the bridge was near the right side of the frame and it was leaning over to the right. I don’t change anything with the camera settings. My wife has an iPhone 11 Pro and her photos are always nice. So I might sell my note 10 and order the 12 pro max. Thanks for the video review.
Bloody rubbish Exynos in India and that's why millions of people don't buy this crap .
bruh
Easy now
Agree.... All the other international versions gets the snapdragon
Exynos not so bad.its like 855 snapdragon!I have Exynos and till now I am very happy.ok,snapdragon is better, but ...its not the end of the world and at daily use except 15% battery life, nothing annoying
I wonder how George Patton would feel about modern day people complaining about a cell phone being bulky, heavy, and uncomfortable when handling
Great !!
Thanks for being a member, Robert!!!
This video is amazing. In-depth video with facts and opinions for the audience. My Note 20 Ultra is my best phone to date.
"This phone is a mess" lmboo.... You cant compare it to the perfect nonexisting phone in your head.. I'm getting one this weekend... Tired of this iphone, they're boring.
That’s true although I have and IPhone and I love. For me I just feel like the customization ends up cluttering the phone and slowing it down more than anything.
Mine is on its way as I just purchased mine in Australia which is the Exynos version.
I am now concerned about the heating up issue.
Perhaps a case will fix this issue.....
I've seen a case fixes the hump issue on a flat surfaces so that is a plus.
Crossing fingers it will be ok.....
I'm upgrading from a beloved note 9 which I'm keeping as a back up phone.....
From Sony Xperia to the notes and never looked back.
5:53 some quality content
I just bought the Note 20 Ultra and it would look great in one of your cases.
I would love a case because my phone looks amazing but I can't trust myself. Its an amazing handset even though I got the exynos. But I'm on samsung upgrade program so I can get the note 21 next year;) @iamdannyberry
Very sad.. Note 21 probably won't come out 😭😢
5:30 if you have pretty much any case on the phone, like most people have, the camera bump doesn't cause any problems...
I just picked this phone up yesterday and loving it so far and would love a new case with it:) twitter handle twdguy
At 25:15 what do you mean updates? Software?
Would love a Spigen case for my note 20 ultra! Was planning on buying one initially but it is not available here in South Africa and I needed a cover ASAP. However this is the perfect opportunity to try get one !!
Twitter handle: @moec007
Which variant did you get ?
Plus you can always ship the case we are at level 1 after all .
@@flyingraijin9889 Exynos sadly 😭
@@flyingraijin9889 yeahh I know but shipping from overseas always takes ages and I needed a cover asap. But idk when we'll be getting the spigen cases here or if we ever will
I really appreciate the quality of your review. I couldn't care less who's first, I just want a quality review. And this is just that - quality.
Zone of tech always does such thourgh reviews and videos. That's one of the reasons why I wish to win a case for my Note 20 Ultra during your giveaway. My Twitter handle is Cnyce444
I have my for about 1 month and ¹/² and my only disappointment is with the on screen finger sensor When my fingers are wet. It just dosent work
Thanks for all the details. Did you use it to take photos of sunrise and sunset? How did it do?
I used to get new phones all the time. Thinking about getting this but my note 9 is still going strong. Many exciting phones coming out. Duo, ultra 20, galaxy fold 2. Might pull the trigger, might wait until next year.
I came from note 8 to note 20 ultra and it was a massive upgrade. BUT the note 9 is in the sweet spot Id say. If you have dolby atmos on the note 9 id stick with it and keep the headphone jack.
If you want larger screen or for the camera go for it. Although if you don't know how to operate a camera very well and look at all the different settings within the camera I would say dont get it for the camera.
I'm planning to get one soon ... does the Exynos version support 5ghz mobile hotspot?
Thanks 👍
Great Job! Smart, comprehensive and frankly professional without being stuffy...I love the notes...had one of each model from inception (except 10) , bought the note 20Ultra and was looking for case reviews when I came across your review...your effort and delivery was incredibly valuable. Feel better about my Canadian Frankenstein! Now for a case...:). Cheers
Such a good review!!! Samsung! Pleaseeeeee listen to this guy!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I got myself HK Note20 Ultra, and I am happy camper... Thanks for detailed vid
QQ0
Watching from the Philippines! Is the giveaway still svailable? Just got my Note 20 Ultra LTE yesterday. I'm looking for a good case but they are expensive. 😅
This is weird, my Exynos version gets at least 6 hours of SOT with around 7 hours of screen off time and all features turned on.
Just wondering, do you put your main sim card on the phone for these 2 months?
You should’ve got the snapdragon chipset, exynos are known shite
@ZONEofTECH 8k at 24fps...nothing wrong with that if you are planning on doing any editing to the footage...most videographers shoot at 24FPS
Where'd you get the wallpaper? Can I have the link please?
US varient Note20 Ultra 5G supports Esim ? For me I can't see esim option. But when I contacted Samsung support, they said it supports esim. But on the there is only 1 IMEI number.
Can you update about the Scanning of documents or pics of Documents. I noticed blurry corner in case of photo of any documents .
Love the squared corners and curved display! Why aren’t there more of them? Frosted glass black and white models are definitely a huge oversight by Samsung. What were they thinking?
Do you think the battery life is long enough for 4,5 hours of using the pen for writing? ( NOT with the Snapdragon 865+ processor) Thanks!! Just thinking about buying that phone
Best phone I ever had. I live in Switzerland and bought a snapdragon version via a local retailer, guarantee included ;-)
19:00 Why are you complaining that you don't have 60 FPS in some settings, if you don't even share your TH-cam videos with such a frame?
Should I upgrade my Note5 to Note10+ or Note20 Ultra considering the price, battery life and the exynos 990 thing?
About the battery life.. did you use it on 5g or 4g?? thanks
N20U....is a beast and with the low latency SPen and 120mhz lpto screen is amazing.
Thank you for an honest and thorough review! Unfortunately, I’m too late for the case entry. Other than that, thank you! I’m on my way to pick mine up right now.
Which Country is this reviewer from, wondering the specs for Canada is all. Ty
Great comprehensive review! I love how your videos are usually longer ones! I'd like to win a case because right now I have a Samsung leather case for work and an ESR tempered glass for social and I'd like to diversify my case collection.
