Label as "Used". He will open the box and make sure it is not dead on arrival. "Used" thus I never incur any GST on my item.

It can be labelled whatever, gift, etc. If the declared value + freight exceeds SGD$400, it will still be GST applicable. For GST, value is the essence here, not whether it's used/type of goods. Anything purchased from overseas to be consumed locally in SG with declared value + freight more than SGD$400 (if using freight), then GST will be applicable.

Thanks for sharing. Yes I am aware. Plus I did not do anything to escape from it. Just saying that it wasn't collected from me when I purchased from them.

To be honest there is a possibility that this might be an issue in our country. Don't forget our humidity here sometimes can cause glass to crack under certain conditions. Don't dismiss this issue, but pay attention to it.

so if crack, LG SG will replace for free?
if need to pay, how much ?

Anyway.. Jerry's test when scratch is after removing the plastic... with the plastic then is less likely crack? Even his scratch test, the crack was few lines unlike the picture in this link, looks like purposely cracked it...

Isnt the plastic like the basic plastic covering any new device's glass components? Like when you buy a new phone usually isnt the camera and screen covered by some plastic that youre supposed to remove? I mean I doubt a tiny layer of plastic can shield the glass from impact-caused scratches anyway

I mean the glass probably is not the brittle one touch will shatter type.
Jerry's test was scratching it with a "hard" tip, then awhile later it cracked.
The plastic on the glass seems pretty hard to take off, so leaving it there probably won't affect picture quality I think.

He also commented got screen protector comes along with the phone out of the box. Not sure about Asia set. Hope those who gotten from GoniGlobal can confirm. =)

Judging by their previous promos for their other phone it should apply to all 3. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks for sharing, but is there anywhere I can get images of the said cases and ring holders?
