I want to order a screen protector and I was thinking about a leather slip case. Anyone have any experience with their cases?
What I read and heard
From what I have read and heard is that the MartinField screenprotectors are one of the best out there. No hands on experience though.
I have used these on all my recent phones, they are very good but expensive £15 delivered
did u guys also removed the default screen protector ? i felt it was reducing the touch response of the screen..and very thick also.

well, the stock protector lasted me one day of use... putting the x1 on my pocket a few times peeled the sony protector so it's useless...
anyways, martin one should be here tomorrow (so says the track id)
Hi,
The "stock" screen protector lasted me a week. But you do need to cut/trim the tab off so that pocketing the phone and other general usage doesn't peel the protector off.
Have now fitted a Martin Field one.
Be warned though the sticky side of those protectors attract dust/lint/etc like a magnet!!! Also, that lint free cloth you think is lint free, isn't!!!
Have fitted 3 of these over the years and have never failed to get some lint etc between the screen and protector...
But they do do the job and protect your screen. Better £15 for one than £!!!! for a new LCD...
Des. . .
I've got a Martin Fields screen protector and I love it.
<rant>
I wasted £5 on a protector from eximstyle on ebay first.
It was too long by a couple of mm and just too wide so that it would press down on the screen when it was squeezed in; the quality wasn't great either, it didn't slide like the MF did. (They sent a replacement which was exactly the same )
Sometimes you really do get what you pay for! Got to love Paypal, it went a claim and they judged that if I sent it back with tracking I could have a refund (the postage would cost more than the refund).
I know where I'll be getting my screen protectors from in future, and it's not from jokers on ebay!

Sony Ericsson Xperia leather case
Leather cases on MartinFields are the same I bought from PDA Hut.
http://www.pdahut.com/store/home.php?cat=2387
Just fitted one, perfect fit. Got a damn tiny piece of lint between it and the screen !! No biggies.
So far, so good
The stylus slides real smoothly
i spent over 50 dollars on cases and they all either broke or made the phone look fat ...
i decided an invisible sheild type sheild may be the best compromise. MY only trouble with itin the past was the sticky feeling surfaces, but maybe that changed.
any suggestions for a low cost total protector ? thanks !
I've been through all the cases too and even the full body sheilds. For the HD2, the best solution for me is a good gel case, (about £3. on ebay) the kind that has seperate openings for the camera, flash and speaker. Also vital is a good quality screen protector. My Vikuiti has been working perfectly for about 4 months now. With thise in place, the device is protected from bumps and scratches, has good grip, gains very little bulk and the screen still feels like glass.
i think that is what i will do then. thanks.
can you recommend a few gel casss from ebay ? perhaps capdase xpose jacket ?
Gel Case
I bought my Gel Case at Spider-Foot.com for 3.99 delivered to Sweden.
I think it's rather good.
Makes the HD2 about 3mm bigger all around (2x1.5mm)
At the same time I bought a 2-piece hard rubber case, same price but not as good.
Too stiff and sides are protruding making it bigger than necessary.
Previously I bought a Flexicase Silver, but that case is not good for radio/GPS reception. It almost blocks out GPS signals totally
Probably the metallic coating that acts as a Faraday Screen?
A Krusell leather case is also at home with me, good but rather clumpsy butit has it advantages when you don't want the HD2 in your pocket or on a bicycle.

This is the one I bought in Feb, still works great http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-BLACK-GEL-C..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item27adb5e82e
Just want to chime in. I'd stayed out from all body shield. I've used ZAGG invisible shield but removed it less than 3 months. Despite perfect installation, dirts accumulate on the edges and maaan I tell you its ugly! Also, it makes my screen less sensitive to touch.
Now I'm using soft gel case like ribcage and klp use, love it!
Have you tried an Otterbox Commuter? It doesn't add that much bulk to it.

I checked the listing. They ship to the US for 90p. Just make sure your phone is the same size. The US models are slightly different. If not, search ebay.com for gel cases and look for a similar one for US models. I'm sure there's plenty.
Hi,
So I purchased a set of dry application clear screen protectors for my Nexus 7 and have it installed pretty much perfectly. However, it's not totally transparent as there are like spots that show similar to the rainbow effect on many screen protectors (shown below). NVM, can't post pictures or links with under 10 posts.
I know SPG makes good screen protectors but I don't really want to shell out $20 for 2 screen protectors.
Can you guys recommend a cheap screen protector or seller, preferably under $3 (most likely from eBay) that doesn't have this problem? It just annoys me every time I see it...

Check amazon and read reviews, amazon is very good with accessories for cheap case 3x screen protectors and hdmi connector i paid 25$ :good:

I bought a Nillkin TPU case and it came with I presume a Nillkin screen protector. With the TPU case on, you cannot tell that there is a screen protector on the device. It looks and feels exactly like the stock glass.
Where did you get it from?

Sorry, I meant to say, ebay, this one, from this seller: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330853557200
Rearth Ringbo Clear Plus.
Japanese material and S.Korean made.
It feels like glass and its like nothings there. Very fingerprint resistant as well.
13 bucks for a 2 pack.
Rearthusa.com
I've always used SGP but Rearth seems just as good (if not better) and cheaper as well. SGP and Rearth protectors are regarded as one of the best.
You really can't go wrong with any Korean/Japanese screen protectors.

i got this screen protector for my nexus , perfect fit, easy install, inexpensive. Only downside is finger prints. At first i was going to get the spigen ultra crystal but 21.99 for 1 protector is too much. With the Tech Armor you get 3 for 7.95.

I also got the tech armor and I gotta agree its good, I usually use Spigen products. If you lay it down just right the screen protector is almost completely invisible. It feels good to the touch but yes it does attract a bit of finger prints.
Hey guys, I installed the Zagg Glass on my M8 and so far so good.
Installation was easy but I did notice that Zagg's "Micro fiber Lint cloth" does more harm than good, then again I noticed the same thing with their Plastic screen protector. I'd recommend not using it unless you boil it down/rinse it to death.
It'll leave it's own lint on your screen.
Other than that I have no complains.
The Glass itself is smoother than the glass on the phone and it resists smudges quite well.
I live in San Diego so when people use my phone their hands aren't the driest since it's been 90+ lately. Yet when they were done there were no smudges. The edges are rounded like The Glas.Tr from Spigen and I have absolutely no bubbles at all.
I had the BodyGuardz ScreenGuardz Pure before this and I can definitely say it was an upgrade.
I will corroborate your review. Pretty good quality, the feel is excellent and even more so oleophobic than the stock screen in my opinion. I can't even tell it's on there, and the screen isn't compromised at all. Worth the $40.
The lint cloth caused me no trouble although it didn't really help either.
The only gripe I have is that when I was "smoothing out" the bubbles, it says to press down hard, and I used the lint cloth along with some force from my thumb nail, and if you tilt it in the right light you can see exactly where I pressed down with my thumb nail in several spots...just small depressions in the shape of a nail tip. Didn't think an "industrial strength" glass/plastic would be easily indented by a thumb nail. In any case, its a small neurotic thing that doesn't bother me much, just something I noticed. Overall pleased.
4/5 Stars
I'll be the third to say I bought one of these and I love it. Can't beat a lifetime warranty either.
Probably my second favorite outta all the ones I've had. Tried almost every glass protector. Mime feather is still my favorite, but this is close.
Well... I really wanted to stay away from zag due to past experiences with their products. Being that my brand new spigen light armor hadn't arrived, I went to the local best buy to find a cheap screen protector until I could get more money for the glastr shield. Cheapest one there was a invisishield for 25 bucks, damn.... Then for only 5 bucks more was the glass zag shield, plus the life time warranty.
I had no choice. I would for sure get my screen scratched up while working.
So anyway, to my suprise, I couldn't be any happier with this screen protector. No dust, no bubbles, no edges peeling, no fitment issues, no headaches. This glass protector Sh*** on wet installs, and plastic shields. Also, it fits very nice with the spigen light armor. Also it really does resist fingerprints and smudges. 10/10
You guys got a link to this amazing sounding product?

Does anyone have details regarding the "lifetime warranty" disclaimers? Curious about what is covered and how many replacements, etc.
I have the Bodyguardz glass protector that I bought at the AT&T store. It works fine and I like it but it is thick. They didn't have any dot view cases in stock and I ordered one while I was there. I also asked if the case would work with the protector (because of the added thickness of the glass) and they said it "probably" would. Well, yesterday the case arrived in the mail and it won't close because of the Bodyguardz protector.
Can anyone in here tell me if the dot view case will work with the Zagg glass protector?
wow $40? I also hate best buy so will not shop there ever.
What about the glass screen protectors on ebay for $5-15, sounds more reasonable.
I used to avoid screen shields like the plague because of finger smudges, difficult installs, and bubbles/defects. But I'm in love with the glass shield. I'll corroborate all the above and say it's a simple install and resists fingerprints much better than the regular screen.

The nice thing is you get a lifetime warranty. If you choke it down and buy it from best buy, I think they charge 7.99 or something to install it, but if you ever mess it up or it peels or they don't install it right you can take it back and they redo it. Otherwise, you just email zagg and they send you a new one in a couple days.

Well.... That lifetime thing would be great.... But for the glass replacement, zagg will charge you 15 bucks and another 5 bucks for shipping...
It would of been nice if they would of changed the print on the packaging.

True, but one time and it's only 3 bucks more for Best Buy to do it, and as soon as you have it done twice, you would have been better off with them. Not to mention you can just pop in whenever you're around a store and have it fixed.

On my second Glass...First I bought the HD shield, and they have what I believe to be, a defect in design on the HD. Not only does it cover the screen, but on all 4 corners, it goes up the sides of the speaker grills. If your screen is not perfectly flush with the metal speaker plates guess what...you will have air pockets that you cant get rid of. After going back and forth, they sent me a replacement, and it was the SAME thing..UGH..
So I went out and bought a Glass..since it only protected the screen. Had issues with the first one, as none of the corners would stick! Put in for another replacement, which came today, and it went on smooth as silk and all the corners are bubble free...
When you do the replacement, you also need to send back your old one. They provide you an envelope to do so. They will also ask for your credit card number. If you do not return your old one, they will charge you the full price for the replacement they shipped out!
$6 on EBAY for these, shipped...
No... . . . Not ZAGG, specifically, but extremely high quality and the same damn glass.
Just got the Zagg glass shield installed today and I have to say this is the best I've ever tried. Glass from now on!

Are there alternatives from ZAGG Glass? I wanted to purchase it on Amazon because I have a gift card, but they don't sell it. Any recommendations?

There's BodyGuardz, I have an extra of those the edges aren't rounded, there's a Spigen Glas.Tr but it's an extra 5$ at 39.99.
Curious as to how people are using their phones, I just wouldn't trust this size without any sort of case, so it'll be Inna case for me, likely the stock for now.
What about you guys? Using the phone naked? Screen protector or no?
Case yes, screen protector absolutely not.
Tudia case, no screen protector.
Ultra thin case & oem screen protector...
Ultra thin clear case and stock screen protector, I bought the screen protection so if it breaks I will just replace I don't like cases

Nothing right now. Tried a few tempered glass protectors but they didn't sit well. Have matte black dbrand skin I'm thinking about installing bc I didn't think I'd like the blue but it's growing on me. So for now it's naked.
Totally naked, haven't shattered a single screen in all history, so I'm pretty confident I can keep it safe too. Worst case I purchased insurance for 6 months, will see how it will survive this time.
Naked. Just stock screen protector. But I will use a transparent xtremeskin just against the slippery.
Matte black dbrand skin
OEM case
OEM screen protector
I have a couple third-party cases and screen protectors coming in the mail, so will be switching to those when they arrive.
Ultimately hoping the ultra thin matte black case turns out nice + the tempered glass protector fits well.
Where do you guys work at? I work with a lot of dust and dirt and most of the time natural product powders like pepper... Could this stuff scratch up the screen?
Naked, but I do have a fit bag
I'm using Nillkin's black frosted shield case
Stock case and stock pre-installed screen protector.
I experimented going naked with my Galaxy S8+ a few years ago and learnt my lesson after dropping the phone accidentally and having to fork out a small fortune to replace the screen. Before and after I have always used cases. I rarely drop any of my phones but it does happen from time to time, and much as I'd like to not use a case for the look and feel, it's just not worth the risk to me.
I don't bother with screen protectors usually, but since it came with it pre-installed, I'm keeping it. Will see how well it lasts - the one on the wife's Huawei P20 is starting to come off, so not of the greatest quality. Hopefully this one's better.

Dbrand skin and OnePlus Sandstone case, never use screen protectors and if it came with one I would take it off.
The Dbrand skin is just for a little color around the camera and flash that the case leaves open.
Stock case with a glass screen protector.
It's not a high quality protector but it was all of 10 bucks on Amazon. Xtremegaurd just came out with their screen protectors for it so I will be replacing the glass one as soon as that comes in
Oneplus karbon case. (super slim and awesome grip). Using the lk screen protector.
I'm currently using a Mofi Case, absolutely enjoy their products, however as soon as my Dbrand gets delivered, off comes the case.....I will only then use the case as and when I feel the need to.....
