Could explain the slight "peel" on a mate's S6 Edge

hi,
Don't get too carried away with the colours.!
Attached, tear down of back of a Note5,
showing clear glass back, with a colour "film" ( blue in this case, but can be gold, silver etc View attachment 333831 on inside of glass.
Good luck

Wow it literally looks like foil inside. Makes me wonder if any of the devices will start peeling on the inside overtime. You know that the devices get a bit warmer with use now days so I wonder if the heat would affect that wrapping.

that being said... I wonder why it took them so long to make the colours available. I got my silver device by luck as a warranty replacement from Samsung and not a store.

I was wondering if anyone can help me here. I want to find a micro USB drive for my note 5. I plan to load up my movies and music on the drive, and use it on the Note 5.

Here's the catch though. I tried one of these micro usb drives and it works well, BUT the Note 5 has a design flaw. The headphone port is very close to the micro USB port. So when I plug in my existing USB drive, I cannot plug in my headphones at the same time. There isn't enough space to do so. (Well at least with the USB drive i currently have.)

I have this particular flash drive: http://www.takealot.com/lexar-jumpdrive-m20-dual-64gb/PLID34151542

Have any of you managed to find a micro USB drive which plugs in correctly while having the headphones plugged in at the same time?

Screen 'cover' (those go for on average R80.00 at a corner shoppy) or the actual glass screen?
