My bad luck with case and screen protector! - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Accessories

Right i ordered my phone through ebay, from a seller based in China, with a UM warehouse. (while there was some scares turned out it did come from a UK warehouse. Just a bit slow though)
The sale included screen protector and silicon case...
Right away there was problems with this. The provided case didnt fit the phone, ports and finger print didnt line up at all... And the screen protectors too small for the screen and holes cut on the wrong side. My guess the parts were for the Redmi Note 3?
Anyway seller said they would send replacements from china.
I got them today, Its the same WRONG silicon case. And the screen protector while had holes on both sides is still not edge to edge and was broken.
So much fun

Sounds like a nightmare and I share your pain on the screen protector front!! I ordered one originally which was too small/for another model. I contacted the seller who sent another but sent exactly the same one. So, ordered another from a different seller (all ebay), which arrived and the wife accidently broke it when opening the parcel. So I just installed the broken one (better than nothing at this point!) and waiting to receive another (the last seller should have sent 2 but only sent 1!). I also ordered some plastic film ones which will probably turn up at some point as well. :laugh:

I bought a black case (silicone) with 6 screen protector from amazon.co.uk
delivery estimate: 5 July 2011
I also bought a silicon case with some screen protectors from ebay but I already have it. Fit's perfectly.
Guys, did anyone buy Docking Station? I can't find almost any useful info except model - SDT-200 9and maybe SDT-180). If you own one, pls share your experience.
i bought à grey silicon case and 5 protection screens all is perfect
Maybe some gps fixation later
i bought silicon case and two screen protectors from ebay UK. the silicon case is nice but the screen protector is ****. haven't had it more than a week and already a lot of small scratches. just by wiping the screen with a cloth gives you more scratches. altough it was really cheap so i probably shouldn't expect more.
it has gorilla glass, so normally screen protector is not needed (but I have also one screen protector, doesn't dare to test the screen without protection for the moment)
well i bought this one and i liked.

Yes, the phone comes with a micro usb cable and a usb charger.
Well, i got too busy to bother to buy a case or even a screen protector, and hence caught myself using the Optimus Black completely naked since a week; and no scratch at all. The built quality is very good i assume.
.. Though will be buying a case in near future for sure. Just not sure which one.
Too bad! Capdase still doesn't have silicone / gel type casing.

Who still sells Otterbox Defender for HD2? Is screen replaceable?

Can anyone direct me to a reputable online store that still sells the Otterbox Defender Series for the T-Mobile/USA version of the HD2?
Does anyone know if the Otterbox Defender screen protector is user replaceable if it gets too scratched up and if so, where does one get the replacement for it?
ditto
i want 1 too
THey seem to be so hard to come by nowadays. I know the phone is abit on the old side, but most places who do stock the Otterbox for the HD2 only carry the commuter series.
The screen is prolly replaceable. Mine has detached on one side, but still fits snugly with the phone in it. Way too bulky for my taste, though.
I just bought a Defender case from fommy.com for $49.95. The one they show is for the international version, but if you search for sku 89100 on their site you will find the one for the US T-Mobile version.
The screen protector is easy to remove, and it appears to be similar to the material used on overhead projectors, so you could easily fabricate another. I actually removed mine and kept the Zagg screen protector on my phone because the Defender protector sort of stuck to the Zagg and made it look like there was moisture between the two, though there wasn't. I also think the Zagg is much tougher. You can get them for about $5.00 on eBay right now.
Good luck!
just lightly dust it with baby powder and the moisture marks will disappear.

Thanks for the tip. If I decide to reinstall that protector I will. Have to find some baby powder first though.
No issues dealing with fommy.com? reselleratings.com don't show very positive ratings with them.

This is the second order I've placed with them in the last 14 months or so. I didn't have any problems at all. Items were in stock as the site showed, shipped promptly, good communication, and the items ordered were delivered (no wrong items).
Did you buy the international or T-mobile Defender from them?

T-Mobile, SKU is 89100
Fommy is out of stock.
Still cannot find Otterbox Defender case for HD2 (US version) anywhere (even ebay). Has anyone purchased one recently and from which website/store?
Bummer about Fommy.
I've seen two on eBay since I bought mine from Fommy. One was used, one was new. Make yourself a search and have them notify you when one comes up for auction or sale.
I hope you come across one, I've found that this phone with the way I've modified the Defender is about bomb-proof.

[Q] Let's talk about tempered glass screen protectors

I've done quite a bit of reading on recommended tempered glass screen protectors and still not been able to develop an opinion of my own.
Would love to have everyone discuss some of their experiences and recommendations.
Here are a few of the one's I've found on Amazon for the G4:
ScreenMate
E LV
CaseBase
Orzly
amFilm
IQ Shield
SuperShields
I'm deciding too to which can be delivered to Singapore too.. I've never heard about Orzly brand before, any reviews about its durability?

Ever since I switched from Samsung and my Nexus 5 to the G3 and learned the hard way that it doesn't use gorilla glass, I've become kind of anal on tempered glass protectors. Ive been through 4 different ones so far on the G3 and can say it's hit or miss. Here's my rundown:
1. Perfect, I only had to replace because it cracked when the phone slipped out my pocket entering the Jeep. Saved my screen though! Tried to replace with the same one but it was out of stock
2. Misadvertised piece, returned immediately. The cutouts weren't to my preference
3. After installation, it scratched within an hour. Clearly wasn't "hardened, scratch resistant 9H blah blah". Tossed
4. Not exact cutouts but close enough (combined earpiece with camera in one oval). Still standing strong to date.
Personally I desire one that has exact, individual cutouts for the earpiece as it maintains aesthetics. I've even had a few coworkers examine it and couldn't tell that there was one applied to my G3 at all as it was practically seamless.
I'd say go with this one E LV just based on their image. That said I've returned one because product didn't match the image.
If you find one you like buy 2 more! They're cheap enough and you never know when a spare will be needed (RMA, crack, etc)
Here my " perfect" unit GLAZZ
Mime have also released their tempered glass screen protectors for the G4. I had their ghost glass for the S4, and it's held up pretty well. Hasn't cracked yet in two years, even after numerous falls on hard and concrete floors.

I aso do some research on the tempered screen. But no luckly still not find a good one.
ive done alot of research on all these glass screen protectors and a new skinomi tempered glass came out, its on amazon. I'm picky about the cutouts and it looks like this one is fully covered with all the right specs (9H, oleophobic, rounded edges, etc) it just has a cutout for the earpiece speaker. im ordering this one, ive already ordered the tech matte one from the win droid guys review but returning because i dont like the cutouts or the non-oleophobic surface.

Thats the same one I ordered. I also ordered the LG G4 Clear HD Screen Protector for $1 after the coupon code AFIU8VKL. Should get them before end of next week. Phone looks like I will have today. I'll use the Glass and keep the other for a backup just in case something happens to the glass one.
Code works only on Ships from and sold by Skinomi not Amazon

Same here. I was able scheduled it to arrive 10 days earlier thru Amazon.ca - and I'm in the US!
I bought the E LV and it went just fine, it only has the cutout for the speaker. Not sure if that's going to be an issue or not, I've had glass protectors that made the phone do weird things when the cameran and prox sensor are not cut out. So far, I'm satisfied, but It's been on about 15 mins lol.
Edit: I don't recommend the E LV tempered glass protector. Its a MASSIVE finger print magnet, oleophobic my backside. Its nearly impossible to clean smudges off this screen.

Actually I bought the 2 ScreenMate Light tempered glass... I haven't applied yet, because I am getting my G4 next week.. I was worried about the tempered glass, because it was bent!
So I contacted Iloome to know if it was defective... They said " The protectors come out slightly bent like that for maximum adhesive once applied to the phone. "
Either way, I believe I did right thing because I bought each one for $8!!!!! I will update when I get my Lg G4 H815

You know the G4 is curved...right? heh
lol
true!
I got the Supershieldz. They sent the one I ordered then sent another one saying the 1st one was defective.
Well I'm using the defective one and although it fits fine, there is a small bubble in each if the 4 corners. It's slowly gone away but you can still see it. Because of the curved glass I assume.
Haven't tried the newer, fixed one but I now have a spare.

Warning..!! Verizon Tempered Glass Protectors

Don't buy it. The edges don't stick around camera area and breaks way to easy. I bought one and still have it on the phone but the corner is cracked and is spreading.

Yea its garbage ..and Verizon told me they offer a free replacement if it ever messed up or cracked ..went in a week later with the edges peeling up and top cracked like yours and they played dumb like they never said they would replace it ...and it was 20 bucks ....never again

I NEVER buy accessories from the Verizon stores. There is heavy pressure on employees to meet sales goals so many lie like crazy.
Yeah - Had the same issue with mine. Also went ahead and bought a .2mm or whatever from Amazon. Had spider cracks within hours with normal usage. Emailed the rep, got a new one and the same thing happened. For $7 it was worth the trial. Still waiting on a solid one.
Bought mine from amazon last week (just got my "like new Turbo" on 12/30) and havent had any issues, although around the edges you can see where it isnt stuck down. From what I think i remember reading, the screen is curved (slightly?) so it wont sit flat on the screen. Its not that bad, maybe 2mm at its largest gap. I just hope it protects it when it needs it.
I just ordered some military grade screen protectors. I had one for my droid ultra and loved it. I like the Tempered Glass but really don't like how the edges don't adhere to the phone.

So mine cracked Monday night. I didnt even drop the phone or anything (that I recall) so maybe it was just because it was in my pocket and flexed from sitting down or something?? Apparently theres a lifetime warranty... so Ill see about getting another one under the warranty. Heres the one i had.

Was it a Verizon brand? or the Zag brand? I had a Zag on my Note 4 and after a month, it started to crack.... I won't put a screen protector on my phone... Hell you better off just being careful or but in a case the comes with a screen protector attached..
I've had great experiences so far with tempered glass screen protectors. I ordered mine off Amazon because it was cheaper, but my local Wireless Zone (certified Verizon retailer) is great with replacements for screen protectors and stuff. Whenever my phone goes for a swim (this happens often), they always provide me with a free, no questions asked loaner (I could easily walk away with it) until mine dries out or I get a new one. Obviously, this could just be the local owner, but I have nothing bad to say about them.
I had one put on at the Verizon store when I bought my Turbo. Still on there and no cracks, and no problems with separation around the edges. I believe that your success depends on how good the tech was that put it on. If they don't get the screen cleaned adequately then they will not stick down.

Troubles finding a screen protector for the Mate 10 in australia

Hey everyone
I am trying to find a screen protector that has a few features
- easy install
- tempered glass/oleo-phobic
I recently bought some nuglass one and the back film that you pull off with the "back" sticker didnt come off, the sticker did but not the film lol i was so confused.
Anyway, i found this video, looks good but the seller on amazon widamin does not ship to australia
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df4mVqalPxE
And i also heard the Flosmall one was good, but you have an install kit and apparently have to apply adhesive around the edges yourself which kinda makes me nervous
any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for the response, my question is which one did you buy and how well did it work, there's so many to choose from and that's the problem, i have tried one from ZUSLABS which didnt workout as i explained in the initial post
I bought tempered glass made from MAXSHIELD.
Its really good cover your whole screen.
I'm satisfied. Though my personal favourite brand is NILLKIN but can't see that for mate 10 hence bought MAXSHIELD for $8

Odd, the last Maxshield one i tried was for my Oppo A73/Oppo F5 ( the phone i had before the mate 10 ), and it fit the screen just fine, but only had adhesive around the top and bottom of the protector, and had this odd grid like pattern that you could see if you turned the phone sideways under light, it also had no oleo-phobic coating/finger print resistance, i ended up removing it and it broke all over the screen.
I guess maybe they upped their quality with the mate 10
Honestly, they all stink. The problem with the ones that have black edges is that they pretty much don't work with a case, as the case will pry the protector off. The Nillkin is the best I've seen and tried, but it doesn't cover the edges because the edges are curved (the ones with black edges are just hiding the curved edge from sight btw).
I spent money on quite a few and sent all of them back except the Nillkin, which actually shattered and I don't know how. I never dropped it. Anyway, pretty much since the start of 2018 I've been going naked. I will admit if you hold my phone up to the light there are 3-4 extremely minor scratches around the bottom right of the screen (which incidentally is where I touch the screen the most with my right thumb).
I know even small scratches bother some people, but it's not like you would ever see them with the screen on or feel them with your finger. I wouldn't even know they were there if I never went looking for them.
