I was looking at this Pikata case below. These cases are strong yet very low profile

I was considering this but decided to go with Benks ArmorAir Aurora.

I’m sure will get movement tomorrow as currently preparing to dispatch for a while now

Lucky it will come with silcone case
 
Got mine today! Restoring now with Smart Switch.
First observations…..
This phone might be close to the S 24 ultra specs and a lot of things. But that doesn’t tell the whole story. The form factor with the rounded corners and flat edges are a big deal. They make it seem so premium.
The blue titanium color is almost iridescent in some lights. Did not expect that, but I like it :)

A few bumps along the way with slamming everything over. The phone itself is awesome and does not feel big or clunky compared to S24+

First thing I did was check with US Mobile to make sure S25 Ultra's are supported before doing the SIM swap.

Can't figure out/recall how to get my analog clock widget and the bicycle on the lock screen

Microsoft authenticator only brought over a few entries. Delete and reinstall of that app sorted it out.

There were 44 Google Play app updates and ~9 Samsung Store ones.

WhatsApp (separate) backup restore was cumbersome.

All my Secure Folder items migrated and most settings made it (backup/restore of Nova was flawless)

Historicallly, Intune corporate portal took a while to setup the Work folder and O365 apps to appear (some number of hours).

I rebooted after updating Google Play System Update and noticed the Work folder was created and a few of the MS apps were there.

I love how the screen is bigger than the S23 ultra yet it's smaller. The bezels are slimmer and I love the anti reflective screen. It feels a little lighter and the flat sides at first surprised me and I wasn't a fan at first. It looked like a regular slab phone but it's growing on me. I will text the camera this weekend. The S23 ultra looks more vivid but that's due to the screen. I noticed a similar effect on my Tab S10 ultra.
