Basically admin access to phone. Example. The bloatware that you cannot uninstall like Google Play, Rogers whatever, Tripavisor....

so by rooting, can we get rid of the Samsung bloatware that we dont want?

Rooting and flashing a custom rom. Yes!

glass screen protectors are great.

I've been using SPG's Glast.TR for my last few phones and they were excellent

Bloatware can be removed by just rooting, flashing a custom rom is necessary!

Did you order it from the Spigen site? Is there a way to avoid the shipping fee, I tried to send it to 24/7 parcel but it says the shipping method there is unavailable?

you can ship it to Pt Roberts and pick it up.. but the time, the gas money, and driving there.. not worth it imo..

just pay the shipping and wait for it to arrive at your door steps
