Bugatti leather bag & DIPOS Anti-Glare display protector - HD7 Accessories

I've got a hTC HD7 and I love it, to protect it, I bought a leather case. And to see smth. on the display at sunlight I bought an Anti-Glare display protector.
Bugatti Leather Bag:
The build quality couldn't be better. It's inside removes fingerprints and dust, but you also can take the bag and clean the handset. It's also a bit waterproof, while having it in my pocket while it's terribly raining is no problem (for some time).
Anti-Glare display protector:
Who also bought the hTC HD7 (or any other phone) will notice that at sunlight it's almost impossible to read.
There are 2 solutions:
1. Buy the Samsung Omnia 7/Focus
2. Get an Anti-Glare display protector
I took option 2, and I'm happy! The protector does it's job well and it's fingerprint-proof

Otterbox type case with a flip cover?

Hello all
I am trying to find my perfect case here. I usually have a vertical flip case for my phones, but with my Note 2, I plan on using the Otterbox Commuter (or Defender) case. I will also have a Spigen Ultra Oleophobic screen protector on my device.
Even though I will have a screen protector on, and a rugged case, I still want to have a flip cover. The phone will be in my pocket, but hey, a screen protector can only do so much.
What I am looking for, is an Otterbox type case (in terms of ruggedness), with a flip cover (preferably vertical, but horizontal is fine).
So far I have come up with nothing. If I order a Noreve case, it will protect my device, but I don't know how much abuse the device will be able to take. I am used to devices with recessed screens, but when I went to the HD2, that was a whole new ball game.
I modified a no-name silicon bumper to work with my official samsung flip-cover. I also had a no-name hard plastic screen protector. I ditched the silcon bumper for daily use as it made it stick to the lining of pockets. The no-name cheap hard plastic screen protector is however still on.
It cost me about 2 dollars, was simple to apply (it almost falls into place without bubbles, lint) and is almost invisible -when the screen is on. It is visibly marked to some extent when the screen is black so i intend to splash out another 2 dollars in a couple of weeks. I could buy a 10 pack i suppose and change every other month if i needed to at that price

My VZW G2 Screen Protector and Cases Review

I'm going to post one at a time...so the pictures don't get confused with others. I hope this helps
.....1.....The SNP Tempered Glass Protector (Price $32.00)
This one took a long time to receive it since it was coming from Korea with really slow cheap shipment, but the product had no damage so it was all good.
I thought I did good installation on the Tempered glass protector, but all around the edges I had gap (You can see it from the pictures). I contacted the seller and they told me that this screen protector is not for Verizon model, because of the 1mm curved edges. I guess the Korean version of the G2 don't have curved edges and I don't know about Atnt or Tmobile models.
So they gave me a full refund, since they didn't mention that it is not for Verizon models.
But if you have the Korean Version of the phone I really recommend it.
The Tempered glass protector covers close to edge to edge. The responsiveness and the clarity is excellent. The feel of this screen protector is really good. My fingers were sliding across really easy. Edges are smooth rounded so it feels smooth all around the edges.
Since the protector is close to edge to edge you can't use cases like the Diztronic cases or SGP Slim armor, etc. since it interfere with the screen protector that it will lift up the screen protector.
So you have to use the ones like Poetic Palette or Incipio Feather cases or etc.
Even though it had gaps all around the edges I have use this screen protector for 2 weeks and I had no issue with clarity or sensitivity. Overall performance of this tempered glass protector is really fantastic. If this had fit my phone then this one was a keeper...but It was just sad that it didn't fit my G2.
.....2..... Scosche 2.1A High Amp Dual USB Car Charger (Price $6.00)
If you are looking for fast dual USB car charger this one works out great. Like other dual USB car chargers have one 2.1A and one 1.0A Charging ports but Scosche car charging ports are both 2.1A charging ports. In other words...Scosche car chargers will charge 2 devices about the same speed as the OEM wall charger that you got when you bought your G2. It charges really fast.
Overall performance is really excellent. I have used this car charger for over 2 weeks now and have no problem so far. This just does exactly what it is suppose to do. It charges the phone as fast as the rapid wall charger, so this is a keeper for me. In my opinion this car charger is cheap compare other car chargers that charges slower than this.
.....3.....The Hohoo 9H Screen Protector (Price $12.50)
First this screen protector is NOT TEMPERED GLASS SCREEN PROTECTOR. This screen protector is made out of PMMA (Poly Methyl Methacrylate), it's basically acrylic. Im saying this because some of the sellers are posting this as a tempered glass protector when it is clearly not. There is a reason why the price point is low.
This one was a defected product which the top part of the screen protector adhesive part was not good that it made air gaps and if I leave it on for a couple of minutes it lifts up by itself, so I contacted the seller and the seller told me that he is sending a new one for me.
The installation wasn't that hard. The screen response was good and the screen clarity was really good. It feel like I was touching a tempered glass screen protector. My fingers glide really smooth. The screen protector size is basically little bit bigger than the screen, but it doesn't cover up the whole front side. In my opinion this is a really good size for the screen protector. Since I can put on Diztronic TPU cases without interfering with the screen protector (just has a tiny gap between the screen protector and the case edges).
Even though this was a defected product everything really work great except for the adhesive part. Going to wait for new one for my final opinion on this screen protector.
...4....The Hohoo 9H Screen Protector (Replacement)
I have received the replacement screen protector and the first thing that I have notice was that the boxing image was different from the first one that they have sent me. The next thing that was different was when I was installing it was the sensor area cut out. It doesn't make a huge difference but just fyi.
The second screen protector that I received had really good adhesives so I didn't get any air gaps. I had no issue with any sensitivity. The screen protector feels really smooth and my fingers slides through easily. The best part about this protector is that the size. I really think this is the best screen protector size for VZW G2.
I really like this screen protector but one problem for me with the screen protector was when I go outside in a really cold weather (near about 0°C) the protector just lifts up by itself for some reason. But if I put it back in a room temperature for a bit it start sticking back to the screen...I have tested 5 times doing this and also sent an email to the seller and the seller just gave me a refund. But in room temperature it doesn't have any problem. The adhesive is actually really good that even though I reattached it more than 5 times it didn't made any gaps or lifting in room temperature. This might be the material of the screen protector problem or I might have got a bad batch but in my experience it happen like that.
Overall performance is excellent. If I didn't had any issue with the lifting then this screen protector was a keeper for me. In my opinion the feel and strength and display is in the same level as the tempered glass protector. If you want tempered glass protector like features without paying a lot. This screen protector might fit for you.
I still have this screen protector on since I don't have any issue in room temperature. But I just have order a new tempered glass protector made from Glassview. It should be coming soon so until then I'm going to keep using this screen protector.
.....5..... Diztronic Cases (Price $10.00)
First impression with these cases were that it's really slim case. Diztronic cases are made out of TPU material. I have purchase two of Diztronic cases, matted black and clear type. Both types of cases have really good grip. The matted black case had so much better resistance against finger prints than the clear case. The matted black case had little bit more slippery feeling than the clear case, but the Matted black looks better than the clear one in my opinion. One final difference between these two types of cases is that the matted black case is $1 more expensive than the clear case.
All the cut out holes were perfectly aligned. On the top it has a lip that even though you put it face down it will protect from the screen touching the surface. This case purpose is basically to protect against everyday use scratches. If you drop the phone with this case on I really don't think this case will protect it from saving your phone.
Overall, if you want a slim case that doesn't any much bulk and protects every corner of your phone this is perfect. But for some reason if you think you will drop the phone get more bulkier case like Otterbox or Incipio Dualpro or etc.
.....6.....Incipio Feather Shine Case (Price $29.99)
I have used this case for over 2 weeks now and it is just perfect for me. Especially the back aluminum finish looks really nice and I don't have to worry about finger prints on the back of my phone anymore. The case fits really tight so there is no worry that the phone is just going to fall off from the case. This case is a really low profile case that it only covers the back and the sides and the four corners of the phone, but not covering the bottom and the top of the phone. This case have slightly lower profile than the Diztronic cases. It has a really small lip on the side of the phone. The lip of the case was about the same size as my screen protector that if I put it face down the screen protector is touching the bottom too. Since my screen protector's thickness is around 0.33mm so I'm assuming that the lip size is around 0.33mm. I'm not too worry about putting my phone face down since the screen protector I have so far stood up pretty good, but if you don't have screen protector just be careful if you are putting it face down.
The back aluminum finish looks nice but it makes the phone a bit slippery. I got some scratches on the aluminum finished back already, I think these scratches came from the keys that was in my pocket. I mean the phone case purpose is to prevent from scratching the actual phone so it is doing its job but it got scratched way too easily than what I was expecting from this case. I think my Hohoo screen protector is so much better against scratches than the aluminum finished case since my screen protector haven't got any scratches so far.
A lot of people complain about this case because of the signal lost, but to me so far I have not lost any signals or the case cause a weak signal. I'm getting the same signal bar with or without the case. I think some people complaining about the signal lost with this case on have got a bad batch of the case.
Overall, I think if you want a really low profile case with really nice look on the back then this case might be good for you. This is not a drop proof case. It's the same thing that I said about Diztronic cases, this is not the case that you want if you think you are going to drop your phone. This case is basically to prevent from everyday scratches.
Did you ever receive that screen protector from Glassview?
Do the screen protectors need to specifically say for verizon? Or are they compatible with any model? I want to buy some screen protectors but they dont specify what model just lg g2

This is definitely a great case for those who are looking for something to make the phone a little easier to hold and protect the back from scratches. The outer lip lets me put my phone face down whereas before I would be afraid of scratching the screen.
Heres an older thread for those interested in more pics. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2461151

....what are you talking about...
I use the VZW Screen Protectors they had because I got 20% off the phone (when you buy 2 accessories) and they were like $7 for 3. The VZW guy didn't put it on very well but I used the second one and a hinge method to get it perfectly aligned and centered.
I use a Incipio Feather Rubber Matte Case and it doesn't affect the Screen Protector. The Diztronics are cool but I don't like the big lips around the edges that will screw with the protector sometimes. No problems with the Incipio.
Screen protectors are compatible for all models of G2. Only the Verizon Cases are different because I guess it is a 1mm thicker due to addition of Qi Charging.
the SNP Tempered Glass Protector fit in international model D802??
What do you like better, Diz or the Feather?

.....7.....GlassView Tempered Glass Protector (Price $32.99)
I have used this Tempered Glass Protector for over 2 weeks now and I think this is the one that I'm going to keep.
First, the application process was really easy for me. I installed it in like 30s and was done with perfect alignment. The size and the cutout of this screen protector is just perfect. It avoid all the lifting all around the screen and it is really case friendly that it fits the Diztronic cases. Im not too sure about the bulkier cases like the otterbox or bulkier incipio cases since these cases use up a lot of bezel space. The Thickness is only 0.23mm but The quality of the screen protector is really good. It has 9H hardness that suppose to prevent from everyday scratches and more and it is also shatterproof. The sensitivity and feel of this screen protector is just fantastic. I had no issue with responsiveness and my fingers were gliding through really smoothly. It was really easy to wipes off the fingerprints from the screen protector. Between SNP and Hohoo Screen protector feel of the smoothness wise GlassView is a clear winner for me.
I think this tempered glass is better than the MIME Tempered Glass. Since MIME Tempered Glass is cut short on the sides that doesn't really completely cover the screen but GlassView is covers the whole screen.
Overall, I think this is the best Tempered Glass screen protector that you can find on the market right now (at least for me). I thought about buying iloome flex but it looked too thin and I really don't see that much difference between just regular screen protector and iloome flex. I wanted more sturdy screen protector and I think I found my winner. I think I'm going to stick with GlassView tempered glass protector for a quite a bit before I find something that is better.

Screen Protector for Camera 2

Just FYI, I found a really nice screen protector for the Camera 2. It's by Expert Shield sold on Amazon for US$12.95. It's VERY thick -- probably the thickest protector I've ever put on a phone, tablet, or camera. It's so thick that I did a touble-take to make sure that I didn't put the wrong piece of plastic (like the backing) on the screen. Haha.
Anyway, it feels and looks really good on the camera, and it's made with some sort of textured surface that significantly cuts down on fingerprints. I'm currently looking to switch my Note 2 phone over to this same brand of protector.

Is really good

Good dimension but with strange texture and orange effect.

3) Now i tried the Gadget Shieldz, wet application.
Perfect dimension, fit 99.8% on the edge, a very slight orange effect but good feel and apparence.
I am waiting for a decent tempered glass...

Accessories Questions about Screen and camera protector and also about cases

Hi!
I will be receiving my Ultra on Tuesday and was wondering if its for sure that the USA version does NOT have a pre-applied protector.
I am planning to buy one if that is not the case.
Also, for the rear cameras, I normally buy tempered glass protectors. Is it recommended for this phone or do you have other suggestions?
I bought a case that has the sliding part to cover the camera for when I am going out and one with a kickstand for when I am home so maybe I do not need to bother with protecting the cameras?
Any feedback is welcome.
Thanks!
The case needs raised guards on all sides of the display and around the cam protector which is integrated into the rear cover. It's replaceable and not easily scratched if you avoid direct contact with it. Clean with a dry microfiber cloth.
The case is the primary defense.
The display protector is to prevent scratches from sand and grit.
On my Note 10+ I've used the Zizo Bolt case and Gorilla IQ Sheild for over 20 months with no damage in spite of close to a dozen drops onto concrete from 2-4 feet, including corner hits, face plants and end over end multiple impacts.
It works.
Many cases claim to be mil spec but are not. Worse the mil spec they cite is a drop onto plywood covered concrete. Not even directly onto concrete. Concrete doesn't normally have
plywood covering it in the real world
That mil standard is meant to test for drops inside military transports. Good if your an airman who spends most of your time in the air.

Yes, I too didn't get any pre-applied protector, so I bought one from Gadgetshieldz and using it for 2 months now. This screen protector looks good and premium but I can't say there are no scratches, minute scratches occurred but they are not bad. You can also try it out, I'll drop the link below.
