It's going to my daughter, and she's out for the evening... but I know she can't wait for tomorrow.
Also, how good look is this case: http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...e8-provides-protection-without-breaking-bank/

Looks nice but too much bulk. I prefer minimalist covers that protects the rear and sides. Luckily I'm not clumsy or have a tendency to drop phones.

i had a spigen with my v20, the rugged one, which they make for most phones.... best cover i've ever had... but yeh, covers normally add bulk... if you want a cover for aesthetics, but no protection, the in box cover is absolutely perfect.

I didn't make any plans to go out tonite as I thought I'd have the phone, LOL! So I'll binge watch Narcos I guess.
I like that Spigen case, I'll see how I feel about the in-box cover then take it from there.

Oh wait, I lied:
Settings, About Phone, Keep tapping the build number
Then Developer Options will appear in the settings menu
yes, i have Developers Option enabled.
However ,if you check Developers options ,the OEM unlock option, is not present ?
So what do you do,when you want to flash a official ROM eg .Note8 UK ROM ,
root or want to flash custom recovery ,sometime in the future ?
You normally enable OEM unlock first ,then flash Rom with Odin .
I have Google'd a bit and found that some SM- N950F devices have the OEM option and some don't ?
Seems like our device Bootloader is locked ?
Any thoughts /input ,from anyone ?

Same with me.
i have come" some way"(Note 2 days) with flashing or installing Roms
I have in the past seen post of person saying OEM is "greyed out" and their Bootloader lock.
However, if you Google around, on this issue, re our model SM-N950F you will
see, it's an issue.
I have seen Germany (with same model no) has this OEM option. Some other countries with same model does not have it.
Is it Vodacom move to block us?
Bottom line,
If the Bootloader is lock, no flashing stock
Uk Roms?
Post note
i am on XFV software.
You on Cell C software XFA or XFE ?
Do you have OEM option

Nope, I've never used that option either. I see it in my S7 Edge, and when I tried to turn it On just now it said it will disable all security on my phone, so I cancelled, LOL! The rebel in me died long ago it seems.
