Hey Everyone, I'm not really sure if selling stuff here on XDA is ok, unfortunately there is not a accessories section for the Gear so I listed this thread here, If this is not allowed, just delete the thread, no big deal.
But I'm about to throw these up on eBay and figured I'd give XDA the first go at em'.
These are custom designed and cut by me. The first day I got the Gear I probably put about a dozen scuffs in the stainless steel speaker clasp, I'm a graphic Designer so all day the clasp slides and bangs off my desk at work, and it killed me to think after just a few days my watch is going to look old and used. Well knowing I was going to exchange my watch for a new one (battery problem) I figured with a fresh watch I want to keep it looking brand new.
So with the OCD I have about my tech devices, I spent a few hours developing these Speaker Protectors, and they work amazing! They are made from the highest quality vinyl available, very durable, self adhesive backing, custom cut specifically for the speaker on the Galaxy Gear SmartWatch and extremely easy to apply!
I put my first one on about 3 weeks ago, still in perfect shape and still holding strong. Underneath my speaker clasp is perfect, and will stay that way!
The vinyl is a chrome color (can do other colors as well. IE Dark Green, Purple, Gray with more options if these catch on) Which blends perfect color-wise (Vinyl is more of a matte. See Pictures Below).

These are a must for any Gear owner who want to keep their speaker clasp from dings, scratches and scuffs.
I also designed custom fitted screen protectors, once applied you cant tell its even there. I'm not sure what kind of glass the Gear has on it, and if it can be scratched or not, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
I'm selling the speaker protectors 5 for $5 USD Shipped (Around $8 USD on eBay). Plus 5 screen protectors. You really shouldn't need more than 1 of either for the life of your Gear. But this ensures you ensures you always have protection for the sensitive parts of your Galaxy Gear.
If you would like to pick some up, and support further development on device accessories from me. PM and I'll give you my info.
Again hopefully I'm not breaking a rule here by posting this, I am an active member of XDA and figured I'd give people a chance to pick something up for their Gear here first before its on eBay.​

Thanks man, I made this out of necessity one day just to have for myself because the scratches on my clasp killed me. I looked online to see if this had been done, and found nothing, so I did a few designs and finally got it perfect.
Then figured I'd throw it out to the public, lol I can't be only person with device OCD.

lol Oops, well like I said, no biggie to delete the thread, These are up on eBay now if anyone is interested but not for the XDA price.
After materials, time and shipping, I'm basically making nothing, I'm no developer, so this is my attempt to give back to XDA for l the help over the years.
But until they delete the thread anyone who wants some, feel free to hit me up on PM and we'll get you squared away.

AWESOME! Did not see these when I searched, and this is the mark Samsung missed with the watch, don't get me wrong I love the look of my gear, but instead of the chrome bezel, a full black (maybe a gunmetal black or matte rubber black instead of the chrome) watch would have been gorgeous!
Good find!
The decal for the top of the watch is awesome and is just what I was looking for when I got the watch, basically full body armor, I might see if I can develop something like this in different colors and offer it cheaper. lol now that I've seen it done, its back to the drawing board! lol

It has limited instructions in the box. Like cleaning the device before applying etc. It is actually very easy its not like a film type screen protector and you get one shot at it. You can carefully peel it back and re-apply if you haven't lined it up correctly, this is for the body protection only. The screen protector is different being a wet type, It did say about spraying the screen with the supllied spray I only sprayed the screen protector only, this worked fine for me, you can move the protector around to the perfect position and use the squeezi to push out excess fluid. The screen protector is perfect you can't even notice you have one fitted. Hope this helps.

All,
I also purchased the carbon fiber skin from slickwraps and I just received it today. I only purchased it to cover the back of the phone. I installed it and took some pics with a camera that can focus . As much as I liked the back of the phone, the dark color shows EVERYTHING and I wanted to protect it, so I figured this would be a good option. This wrap has a nice texture to it as well, so it is not nearly as slippery now. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

The instructions from Slickwraps show to start by aligning it around the camera opening. I tried that, but struggled to keep it straight on the sides. I ended up lining it up on one of the curved sides and it turned out great. I am thankful that it was not a clear cover, however, since did have to peel it off a couple of times when I tried aligning using the camera opening. Since my cover is black, it hides any issues, including any dust.

I've never used a skin before. but I see people really struggling to get screen protectors right, but everyone seems to get skins perfect. How does that work? I've considered a skin, but it would bug me so much if it wasn't perfect. Whats the deal with getting it so perfect?

I am right there with you on need to get it as perfect as possible. I had to peel it off a couple of times to get it to fit right. The key, in my opinion, is to take your time. Since the back is glass, the skins stick really well...almost too well when trying to install them. I did get it right on the first try as soon as I used one of the curved sides for alignment. It makes it a lot easier when it is not a clear protector because it hides any finger prints, dust, etc. that may make their way in during the installation. I am sure I would have had visible issues if this were a clear protector.

I tried the sides a couple times, but could never center it correctly. I ended up using the top and camera. That didn't end up very straight either lol

I got the natural series tan distressed leather from Slickwraps. I think it looks amazingly amazing to say the least. It was also the easiest skin to apply (Took me less than 2 minutes); due to the rigidity of the leather , and the precise fit. The leather looks, feels and smells great, all while adding a much needed grip to the back of the phone. One thing I was worried about was how thick the leather would be. I'm happy to say that the leather wrap fits perfectly and doesn't really add much bulk to the phone. The back now sits flush to the protruding camera; letting the phone sit perfectly flat on a table and not rock back and forth. I'll drop some pictures to give you guys a better idea of how it looks.
I was a bit hesitant due to the reputation Slickwraps seem to have on these forums, but I'm glad I chose to purchase. I honestly give it a 10/10. It's good to have a note with real leather on it for once. Only thing left to see is how well it holds up over time.

Amazing. Got the same color coming Monday. Any heat needed? Did you try burnishing the edges down at all? Seems like the guy with the black one did a good job of that with a pen.

I don't think it needed the heat, but I hit it with a blow dryer on the edges just to be sure. I also did burnish the edges a bit after I took the pictures so it would it would sit even closer to the metal frame on the sides. Honestly look great. You'll love it.

I am they they can be removed, but I am not sure about being re-applied. They do really stick to the back of the phone since it is glass. It took me a couple of attempts to get it aligned just right and it was not easy to peel off. If you are able to remove it without damage and the wrap is not clear, I would think you may be able to re-apply it a couple of times.

ClearPlex 'Custom' Screen Protector from Best Buy

Alright, so basically Best Buy Canada claims to do a sort of custom screen protector installation for various devices including smartphones using something called ClearPlex. I am thinking about trying it on my S7 Edge when I get it but the protector costs $29.99 and I can't seem to find any reviews of ClearPlex or the ClearPlex Ultra variant (the one for curved screens) anywhere. Have any of you heard of this? I'll include the links below which are to the Best Buy Canada website (they seem to be the only ones who have it).

Thanks for sharing. I actually just found that thread on Google after posting this lol. Still wondering if anybody has tried the Ultra on an S7 or S6 edge.

Had this done March 11th when I picked up the phone. So far so good. Very clear and clean install. Took about 15-20 mins as the tech was very careful. No visible bubbles or edges peeling. It has lifetime warranty as well. Using a spider slim armor case with it and no issues so far.
Worth it to protect this expensive device.

Thank you so much for sharing! Alright I think I'm going to get it the moment I get my phone. You got the clearplex ultra right?

Not sure if it's the ultra or not. It was clear plex and was cut specifically for the phone. They charge according to the size of the device. Hopefully I don't ever need to use the warranty but read somewhere else that others have used it with no issue.
Still think it's cheap insurance for an already expensive phone. If you have seen some other threads about cracked screens and the back. Don't know if it will prevent that but hoping it will help.
I had a ballistic glass from tech armor on my old s4 and it saved my phone numerous times. My screen was actually cracked in the end but still worked because of that extra glass keeping it together.

HD vs Ultra
CLEARPLEX HD
Device screens only
Best for flat surfaces
Glassy touch
Impact protection
Scratch-resistant coating
Great for use with a stylus
Amazing optical clarity
CLEARPLEX ULTRA
Device screens and body protection
Good for curved and flat surfaces
Softer touch
Impact protection
Self-healing technology
Optimal protection against scratches and abrasions
I'd like HD if they could make it work well, the "glassy touch" sounds good.
Michael, can you check your receipt to see which you got, and talk about the feel/smoothness, and how it affects gliding your finger on the screen?
Thanks!

Also, can't figure out what's warrantied...reads like the ClearPlex protector is warrantied, no guarantees about the phone screen.

So I went ahead to gave ClearPlex a try - on my receipt it says Ultra. It goes for 29.99 before tax. I figure if I'm going to spend $30 on film protector online (i.e Spigen / Olixar / etc), I might as well get someone else to do it !!
The installation itself is quite fast, I'd say 5-10 minutes. The GeekSquad person will custom cut the film and install it meticulously (you can see from afar).
Overall I'm actually satisfied and feel that $30 is worth every penny
- Install aesthetic: I'd say I'm very impressed at the install quality. Installing film protector itself is a pain, let alone on an edge phone! Nonetheless, they did a good job with both sides sticking properly. No bubble / no misalignment whatsoever. They did proper job.
- Edge functionality: No effect at all. When swiping on the side, cudn't tell if theres a screen protector. Screen protector covers all edge screen area.
- Feel: Quite smooth! ClearPlex claims to be even more smoother than glass. No rubbery feel
Overall, I'm very happy with the process, price and tht it comes with lifetime warranty status. I mean, rather than buying $30 film protector online and trying to install at home ... I'd go get ClearPlex.
Of course it's only a bonus that ClearPlex is a well known glass protector film which is used in automotive / industrial / construction project.

Going to do this tomorrow. I'll post results...very hopeful it will turn out as good as yours. Thanks for the feedback.

Looks like this has limited availability across regions...my local (SoCal) BB doesn't have it, and doesn't know of any local stores that do. I'm going to do a little checking around, but might not be available here in California.

I just had this installed on my 7 edge and so far i'm loving it. How can it not be great, it's from "outer space".

I think it might be Canada only considering the only BestBuy links I can find are on the Canadian version of the site. Sorry my American Android bro. I've updated the wording in the op to reflect this.

I have one of the Ringke. It is actually Ringke Fusion. ? I need to tell it is OK but not so good as my other R. Fusion Cases (LG G4, S7 Edge)

You give us a good choise here but as much as I can see no pull bag
That was in the first place the first kind of cases as much I remember and
later came the flip cases and other bags for phones...
I usually use for case always a bit bigger pull bag.. couse I always put the phone in a siple transparent case and then again in the
pull bag ( pouch bag ) and of course the screen protect is also on my phones...
So big securty for me.. but sometimes I just go and put everything of the phone just to
get the feeling for the phone.. couse we all trade the feeling how the phone feels in the hand ''naked'' for some
kind of cases and other stuff..

I also have the Rinke Fusion, and it does feel very sturdy and snug. Maybe just not the most pretty, but it will offer good protection, especially when the sides are quite a bit above the screen.

I've sent back my H8P. So have one case used, ok condition (used for 2 weeks) giving away and post free to the first sending me a PM. Cheers

I really needed mobile banking. And Barclays in the UK doesn't work on some Nougat device and so on the H8P. And I wasn't really satisfied with the camera for a £475 phone. I will miss the features tho.

it looks nice and simple. for the front part, does it have a "lip" protruding out a bit -- i mean, when you place the phone screen down, it will be slightly higher up so the screen don't get scratched... sorry, don't know how to explain it.
but sadly, no transparent/ clear colour... i prefer that to show off the honor8pro's design...

It is pretty snugg with the glass, maybe half a mm petruding lip, wouldn't call it a lip. I actually like it, this way then a lip, though I am a cautious guy and appreciate protection when it comes to phones, rarely drop em etc. and this just highlights the thin profile of this beauty more then most cases.

i think this one is the best , it features tough TPU Bumper, with tough PC back , i can save your device from fall,

I have a case with dust cap in my Honor 8. The caps were good in the beginning, but over time, the rubber is not gripping the holes anymore, so they got useless.

A bit expensive. But looks really beautiful.

Red sandstone cover?

Hey there!
I just googled a bit but found nothing concluant: I'd sell my children (I don't have any yet so be patient eh) for a sandstone red cover.
Have you ever heard of something like this? I got some red cover but as I sweat a lot from hands, it goes very fast from "clean like new" to "omg what's that mess". I hadn't the problem with the black sandstone one.
Regards,
Chris.

I know one but I don't know if I can link it here.
It's very good quality despite its cheap price point.
Let me know if I can post it

The printing on the bottom is a bit much,I've contacted Pelosi (the mfg) before regarding this,never heard back.
I have used this brand of case w/the sandstone finish on many other phones & was never disappointed in fit & finish,less the tramp-stamp on the lower end of the case.

I'm not a seller at all, but I've tried them all and I can say the best case with sendstone effect are those:
https://goo.gl/9wNVXB
The case is in TPU with very precise cutouts and a great scrubby finish! Also it's not an hard case, so it'll protect your OP5T
If you want a more subtle finish (like the sandstone white OP5T, it's exactly the same) there's this case too:
https://goo.gl/znpTPb
I suggest you the wine red one, very nice imho!

THX for the link,I appreciate it: :highfive:
I ordered one each of the Black/Red/Maroon @ $2.99 each + I upgraded to ePacket for tracking/faster shipping ($1.79 per case),so,barely $15 USD for all three cases. :good:

Could you post pictures of your own? It seems a bit weird that there's no cut out for the fingerprint reader.

They look awesome! Thank you very much. The first one doesn't look sandstoned but the picture may actually not be clear enough. For the price, I'll get them two ahah! I'm also worried of the lack of hole for the fingerprint sensor, is there an actual hole on your?
Thanks!
Chris.

Yes, those pictures one Aliexpress are quite awful renderings. I'll upload one asap, there's a hole don't worry about it.
I've been using those covers since the OnePlus 3, I found them by searching for a cheap alternative to the original Sandstone case and I can tell you those are even a better e choice than the original one since are made in great TPU and covers the buttons too.
They are made from one factory but are sold by many different sellers on Aliexpress, I usually find them with the keywords "(smartphone name) sand (or scrub) case TPU".
The one in dark red is from a different manufacturer, it has a softer yet still grainy surface (it almost identical to the finish of my OP5T in Sandstone White).
The only downside is the long shipping time and that, just like the original, they'll loose the original sandy finish after some months of usage. However for that price it's simple to swap it with a new one!
About the first type I've tried all the different colors except for the golden and pinky ones, I can tell you the blue is very beautiful shade.
Keep me posted if you like them and upload some pictures too!
