Went to several shops in China Mall Centurion - no luck there for cover and screen protector.

Very impressed with this phone but will easily slip out of your hand.

Has anyone found a cover and screen protector available in the centurion area?

Surly Oriental City will have?, but please let me know if you find one.
 
Anyone else notice the sim cards are two differnt sizes between Sim 1 slot and Sim 2 / SD Card Slot?

I tried using my nano sim from iPhone 6 Plus in Sim 1 slot (used an extender) but would not pick up - only way for it to work is to remove the SD Card and use it in Sim 2 slot. Will go to shops later and get a Micro Sim as I need the extra storage - just weird that is didn't work. All I can think is the connector size on Sim card must be different.

Yes, phone spec is micro-sim in slot 1 and nanosim in slot 2 or SDCARD in slot 2.

I would be wary about using a nano-sim in a microsim housing in slot one - the microsim "shell" is so flimsy on the 1 side that if the nano were to pop out, some part could get stuck inside the phone.

In other news, I self cut a microsim to nano on Sunday after giving up on a MTN sim swap request - Great Success!

I'll answer. I am using a Telkom Mobile sim for voice - call quality is just as good as it was on my S5, which was perfect in my books.

WIFI reach on this phone is superior to my S5 - I stay on WIFI further away from the office wifi router than my S5 did.

I just went to one of the larger cellphone shops, they just shook their heads -_-
i'm not to worried about the cover, but i need a glass protector, it has saved my butt on a few occasions.

Takealot has. I would order one but I'm not sure I'll even need this phone by the time it arrives :D

Have they given you any feedback yet?

Do you perhaps have a number i can call?, this is hugely frustrating not being able to see your order or have anyway of checking the progress.
i bought one of those 1TB drives as well, same story :(

You can call the IC Sandton store but the online chat on their website is very helpful

Thanks, just spoke with the "online guy", think his name was "Doren", nice guy, He informed me he does the "linking" and currently my order is in a queue, but he assured me it will be linked with my IC account.
