Hi all,
Fitted my Flex HD protector (front and rear, pics below)... Rear fits great height-wise, but a bit short width-wise, not bad in general though... Quite good at applying these protectors and I got it without a single bubble
Front one though was a different story... It was my first ever wet-protector install and I'm not entirely sure about it. The fit is GREAT! Just not sure how well my actual application has gone...
Anyone installed this specific protector on this phone and able to offer any advice on whether the bubbles shown will work themselves out over a few days as it says they should? Doesn't seem to be any dust below, just bubbles
Thanks!
They'll go away. It took mine two days to disappear. the first day I saw a few and tried to move them out and by the second night I couldn't see any bubbles.
you can always take it off and re-install. The pray that comes with it does not work as well as a small bowl of water with a drop of dischwashing soap. Make sure your fingers are good and wet and they with some practice you should be able to get much less bubbles right away. I am a perfectionist and it took me 4 applications to get it perfect. I had zero bubbles as soon as I was done and it took about 1 day for the excess moisture to dry for a perfect application. No hair, dust or bubbles. Surpirsingingly, I really like how this SP feels on the phone, and I always have used tempered glass.
The good thing about a wet application is that you get second chances, unlike glass (at least i my experience)
good luck
Mine looked the same as your's OP, by the end of the night most of the small bubbles were gone. Really hoping the rest of them work themselves out over the next few days. Most comments I've read say they do, so I'm optimistic as I am a perfectionist as well. Can't stand the sight of bubbles or blemishes in my screen protector.

I see the orange peel effect and i have ordered this screen protector does the effect go away over time? is it a matter of stretching as much as possible during application with the card?
Thanks all
It seems that after about 12 hours it is looking a lot better, not quite perfect yet though
I also see now there are a couple of bits of dust (I made the mistake of putting it back down on the sheet after taking it off initially to clean the screen again)... Surprisingly though the bits with the dust aren't the worst bubbles, in fact they're not very visible at all
Will give it a few more days then maybe post some more pics for people to see what it is like
It took mine about a week for all the bubbles to work themselves out, but now that the did I can't even tell I have a screen protector on my phone. Really happy with the front protector!
I'm gonna have to redo it as it has dust from when I put it down
But yes the bubbles in general surprisingly are sorting themselves out
Anyone think their screen looks slightly yellowish hue after installing this? I don't recall how mine looked before so I'm really hoping this is so and it's not my actual screen. If it's my screen then I will be exchanging if because it's quite irritating. And it's perfectly white when I hold the screen at an angle instead of dead on.

So anyone notice the screen looking yellow after installing this?
I would simply take mine off and determine that way but then I would have no protection afterwords. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

After 2 days, all blemishes and bubbles are gone. I've had several people say they had no idea there was even a screen protector on until I told them. It feels like glass and doesn't have that rubbery feel to it like how some other "wet" application screen protectors feel. I also don't have any discoloration due to the screen protector either. I can honestly say I love how it looks.
I was very skeptical at first since this was my first "wet" application screen protector. I've always used the one and done "dry" application ones. The application process was very nerve racking with all that "solution" on my phone, and trust me I was with everyone else with how my phone looked initially. But after letting it settle for a few days, I can say I'm glad I went with this screen protector that wraps from edge to edge versus going with one that only covered the top of the screen. I highly recommend it to anyone on the fence :good:

YMMV, some people here claim it goes away but I frankly don't believe them. The orange peel effect is there and in full force even after a week. There's even a bubble that will not go away even though there is no dust underneath. I'm returning this one ASAP and I recommend against anyone buying it.

I don't think this is brilliant. Those "bubbles" don't look like they'll disappear. Looks like a defective screen protector. Did these ever go away? Wonder if others had the same problem and it is a result of a faulty batch

Here's my phone with the FlexHD on after 3 days
And I thought I did a good job. You sir are a master at installing liquid install protectors. If I were to place my phone next to yours it would look like ****, although I did install mine in the car, outside of best buy, on my lap, on a rainy day with no light, because I didn't dare put the phone in my phone or any where else for the drive home.
Oh well, good thing it came with 2 protectors. Can always try again.
Hi to all,
Wanted to ask if someone has this case.

I ordered it ( 26 July) and still waiting.
How it looks, and if its comfortable to use it daily at office
Thanks
This thing looks amazing, I would also be interested in what it is like in real life. Does anyone have one to give a review?

no problems typing. very slick. case double thickness of phone. front is thin film. sharp knock on phone by edge of the table will crack the screen. but brilliant piece of engineering. love it.
Hello, I just saw this. I've posted this in one of the other posts. This is my take on the Atomic 2.0::
Just received the Ghostek Atomic 2.0 Case. Even though Screen is not glass does not feel that back. No stickiness like plastic films. But for now just had it on for some hours so can't really say for long run yet.
It is a bit wider like a little over 1/4" more than the UAG case. Which adds to black borders on the front as seen on the pictures. So if you already had trouble using it with one hand, this would cause a bit more trouble.
The thickness is about the same as the UAG case when both are facing screen down.
This case advertises Waterproof but has 2 openings for the speaker grill on top and the home button on bottom. I would expect water could get in through those openings. Screen is dot matrix.
The look of the case for me is nice and does not make it look ugly in my perspective. As because the screen guard as they call it make it look like the screen is showing more than some cases that adds front black plastic borders on top and bottom.
The one thing is you might want to use wireless charging more due to having to open up ports more often if using a usb charger.
Here are some pictures I took. Sorry about quality. The best Camera I have is the GS7 edge. lol.
http://imgur.com/a/osNxm
Right now I'm using it with the TANAAB Screen protector.
I'll post more about it. But first reactions seems to be a good case but would depend on how you would see it and if the 1/4" width bigger than a UAG case would be a drawback or not.
It Seems that Ghostek send several out to Mobilefun or Uviyo in batches but haven't shipped through their main site.
Update:
Update about the openings mentioned above. The waterproof works and does not get inside case if there's nothing that raises the area where the openings are. I had the TANAAB TGSP that doesn't go full length of the phone let water in but when removed and tested no water went in. So waiting to test it with a similar TGSP like GPEL2 that fully extends the the phone and see how that works.
When With TANAAB. Sensitivity didn't change and could provide good protection if needed as the outside screen is just a thin plastic film.
Just wanted to point this out.

Update:
As mentioned sensitivity wasn't a big problem or no problem I've seen.
But because its' a plastic screen I and because of my old TGSP didn't full extend to the end of the phone. I decided to get the Tzunami ProGlass from walmart. Installed it and put the case back on. Which should add extra protection on screen.
Even though responsiveness was good this seem to bump it up a bit more as it sticks more to the plastic and doesn't leave much. Plus you should not have a problem with it breaking as it just sits inside case.
Likely going to put the GPEL2 When I receive it but likely this might be my set up for my phone. The case looks nice and hope this is an improvement from their other cases.
UPDATE: Sensitivity issues as well from others with the ProGlass. So waiting on GPEL2.
2nd update of the case
I forgot to mention, this could be a pro or con depending if you use speaker a lot or not. I do listen at times but most of the times I use bluetooth headphones or speakers so no problem plus sound seems to be extended a bit more.
But the sound from the speaker is somewhat transferred and the back is used to transfer the sound out which would be why they use the type of material for the back. As if you see pictures of it the bottom you won't see a speaker cut out instead it's for the cord. So if you really depend on the sound from the speaker, the sound would be coming from the back of the phone instead of the side. You won't have to worry about covering it with your finger.
It does help when talking to someone on speaker phone, which is an advantage if you sometimes use the speaker phone when on calls at times. Seems to amplify it a bit more but comes from back for music. But haven't seen but haven't tested much on what music could get muffled out due to the way it is done.
Hope this answers or helps some that might wonder about it.

Seems I forgot I still had the AT TGSP and for now no sensitivity issues at all and not like the Proglass has occurred. Will update if it does but for now this would be my combination of screen protector and case.

No it is not really necessary but as others mentioned this is plastic. But I feel that phone is safer if screen is protected by Tempered glass than films or plastic films. As there's no big lip on front and only thing protecting front the the plastic film I just rather be protected than not be.

Hello, Want to update on the case as you read my other post mentioning some openings on the home and earpiece, seems that was a faulty case as was missing films for the waterproofing that it supposed to protect.
Seems my first one was missing the films that go in the earpiece and home button so wasn't fully waterproof but had no sensitivity issues, the next one had high sensitivity issues on the top area where the first one didn't. Ghostek has been nice and quick in sending replacements and honoring their warranties. Right now I have the first one installed until I received the third case. As there is no sensitivity issues.
I did drop the phone from about 4.2 ft high with no damage. The phone fell front side. I do have a tempered Glass installed and no difference with or without on sensitivity. There does not seem to be any damage on the phone or case. The drop was accidental and kind of scary as well when it fell face front. Even though it was on a case. But glad I had the setup I had.
The only drawback I see is that with fingerprints I don't have a problem with the one with no films(1st case) but with the films on(2nd Case) the best way for it to read is putting your finger side ways. Which works all the time when you put your finger sideways but when upwards is a small chance that it would detect or not.
Just received mine today. Spotty fingerprint scanner, the screen has the little dots all over when you shine lights on it or are out in the sun, definitely a loss in touch sensitivity due to the front film not touching the screen unless you press down on it.

I've had no problems when I have good reception. The only times I have problems is when I have 1x when outside in small areas plus work truck kind of blocks signals.
But regular use with not problems on signal, I haven't had any complaints.
I need some help. I wan to buy a screen protector or a tempered glass cover for my Moto Z play. It already has a few small scratches over its screen and I would like to prevent more. So please give me links to some which buy online in India. I did found some but the reviews made me doubtful, particularly the fact that some part of screen is left uncovered. so please help me.

The gap is necessary.
I think all 3 Zs can use the same one, a theory of mine, not yet confirmed.
Look at the other forums.
I too am ready to buy.
as i compared tempered glasses on ebay for Z and Z Play, the difference is upper part - they both have flash and front camera but switched between models
Crap I am looking at selling my Moto g4 plus and buying this phone. Are you guys saying that this phone doesn't like tempered glass screen protectors and doesn't have a bumper case that is compatible with the Moto mods?

Incipio and Verizon (in the US) do a bumper case you can use with Moto Mods.
I use tempered glass, just that the edges are beveled and it will show a slight 'edge'. Same for other glass protectors.

Would you mind linking the tempered glass screen protector please? Based off what I am reading in the other threads it looks like the screen protectors take away a lot of the screen responsiveness.

I picked up a pair of Omoton brand tempered glass for $8 on Amazon. They are "meh" at best. First one I missed a spot of dust mid screen, tried to pull to reapply, and cracked the corner. Not totally unusual. Second one went on clean, but had 3 big bubbles - worked their way out after 3 days. Because of the 2.5d taper of the device screen, there's an unattached "ring" around the edge of the screen (maybe 2-3 mm wide) where the protector doesn't fully attach. Screen responsiveness is mildly diminished - rarely causes any serious issue, but missed touches/swipes do happen.
Tempted to pull and run naked, but it's tolerable for now and I like the added protection, since I don't have insurance.

I just got my Sparin screen protector on my MZP, and I couldn't be more satisfied. It's a perfectly molded glass screen protector, and comes with a top notch installation kit and tools. Patience and applying in as dust free place as you can find are key.
I didn't even have bubbles to work out after applying, and the edges stared to stick after just a few times of pushing on them.

I was able to pry mine up, wipe off and put back on. Lol
Update l rinsed sticky side with distilled water, any caught under glass goes away in a week or so
Thanks to those of you who suggested the sparin screen protectors.
Got mine a couple days ago, and installed today. Definitely a slightly smaller coverage area than the Omoton I replaced. The sparin does give me a halo of unattached edge still, but it's smaller than the omoton, and most importantly almost nonexistent on the bottom edge - so hopefully won't hook on my pocket and peel up like the omoton.
Nicely packaged, good install kit. Install went fine - 2 good sized bubbles toward one edge initially, but they both worked themselves out after a couple hours.
Screen sensitivity is a little better than with the omoton protector, but still slightly diminished from naked.
Overall, would buy again.

I have just receive the second one.
Good:
- no halo effect.
Bad:
-Does not fit properly, the black part at the bottom is to big and it covers the screen
- Camrea and flash holes doesnt fit either, I had to sacrifice a tiny part of the flash in order to have the camera visible (not a big deal, flash works with no problem and pictures look good)
Here is a picture using a game as reference, on the right part, you can se I have 1228 coins, but in fact I have 12280 so... well a part is lost.
As you can see I tried to place the glass as closest I could to the bottom and you can also see the camera and flash holes, that part its really making me nervous because I really need that to be centered (despite it works great). I have a problem with that, maybe I´m crazy :laugh:
Well.... for 3-4 euros I paid its not that bad but this glass its not for Z play. I dont know If someone tried on a normal Z.
oh! about the "feeling" its not as soft as naked or using the omoton but its OK (Im just an average user maybe someone find it worst than OK).
I wanted to try the sparin one but here on Spain I cant find it, only Omoton.
Sorry if i made any grammar mistake (I´m still learning! )
EDIT: Added game screenshot so you can see how much screen is lost, not much to be honest and now the navbar looks smaller! (you can see 100% the buttons and its fully operative, maybe this should go the "good" part )
Thats something I really miss from gravity box, making smaller the navbar, the centered clock and the traffic monitor. Im 100% stock right now.
@drvoje : Did you tried the first screen protector you mentioned? how does it look?

Like like that screen protector was made for the Moto Z/force, which have different bezel sizes on top and bottom than the Moto Z Play.
sorry for late reply, at that time that was best protector because it covers most of the screen and its not that expensive... i said that is made for z forse but it can fit at z play (ofc they are not same phones and its not 100% perfect but still better option then most of protectors - which have whole mic/speaker side opened)
now for camera glass protector, first of all i want to say when you install it it stays flat, you will never even notice its there
but when i installed it, dust was bellow and i did not do it right on first try, so now when i take pictures with flash turned on they become white...
now i ordered 2 more, and im expecting them to come soon, so i will install it again and i will let you know
there is no point to send you pictures because you will never know its there on camera
UPDATE for screen protector: I oredered this one, seems like best option:

Hi All,
Has anyone been able to track down somewhere that is selling a replacement back for the Mix? Mine is scratched quite heavily (likely from using a fairly tight sleeve) and I would really like to replace it....Or for any poor soul out there who has damaged their Mix and would like to sell the back. The irony is the sides of the phone are pristine and not a scratch, not so much on the back.
Thanks in advance

You are wrong.It is made in China.Enough said.Looks good but who cares about quailty.It is NOT CERAMIC but made to looks like it.
I had it and my suggestion is save money for Galaxy S8+ or something more valuable.
I had to take the pictures with my Galaxy tablet so not the best quality but you get the picture. This is with normal day to day use as well, nothing extreme. I even had the Best Buy film on the back for a few months but got tired of the sharp edges from the film every time i unlocked with the finger print sensor. I am wondering if the chemicals from the glue combined with peeling of the film stripped some of the finish somehow as this is supposed to be so scratch resistant. Maybe just one with a faulty finish.

So the YouTube video is fake or is it your phone, it's been tested against scratches with a hardness of 7, second to none, don't get it. Not one other person complaining I dropped mine when it slipped off a table on it's own while i was in another room,, expecting the worse but not even a mark.

Sorry, I am not sure what your point is. I am certainly not making it up as per the pictures. I was only asking if anyone had seen the replacement backs anywhere. I absolutely love his phone but have been disappointed how much is has scratched on the back, not questioning the online videos etc.
By the way, what was the purpose of your post? If you have nothing to contribute to solving the question at hand why say anything?

Suppose my point was because of shortage of the ceramic maybe they sent some out with different materials.
Mine is just fine after a while of use, both in and out of a protective case, side note mine also doesn't have the "cottage" cheese looking blemishes yours seems to have in the pictures. Its possible to have received a "repaired" one instead of a legit one ... especially if it came from a reseller. There are mentions of this on the xiaomi reddit and other places. its extremely scratch resistant, as much so as any Samsung or other device out there that I have dealt with [and I do service work on phones so I have seen plenty of damaged devices - HUGE number of sub standard Samsung's btw - for the value guy ]
Good luck on finding a part supplier, you MAY find one on Aliexpress ... but there more than likely not going to be genuine parts. Vopmart.com
Thanks to everyone for their feedback. I hope I didnt get a refurb etc, that would suck.

Here's a very nice metal bumpercase I've bought at AliExpress. It looks outstanding, offers a decent protection level and the manucaturing quality is on a very high level. Signal quality is perfect like the manufacturer promises. The case is available in serveral color, black, gold, blue, etc. It is offered for a very reasonable price around 15€.

Do you have pics of your phone in the case rather than marketing images?
just wanna make sure your not advertising for them
The last time i used a Luphie case (similar to this) was on my Note 4 and it was terrible.
Looked great on my note 4!
but
1. effected signal badly
2. poor build quality (the lock mechanism was loose and only got looser as time went on)
3. the back glass cracked extremely easily, i didnt even drop it one day i took it out my pocket and it was cracked.
once it cracked it destroyed the only thing it had going for it (the looks) was dissapointed!
if they have fixed all these issues then it looks pretty nice

And reception is great, no remarkable signal loss.
The case needed two weeks from china to germany. There are several sellers @ AliExpress selling it.

"Wireless Signal..."
"0.8MM Tempered..."

I had started my reply before you had posted the pictures. When the phone is face down, does it sit on the phones screen or does the bumper case have a lip?
Thanks for adding those pics.

It has a lip, something like 0.5 mm. Maybe a little less.

The Ebay seller ships from china too, i think.
How tight fit is this bumper and back glass? I had on the patchworks level ITG case on mine, dropped from a 3ft bathroom sink, landed in the corner and cracked the screen even with the tempered glass on! I could not use the phone for a week until I realized the display was separated from the gorilla glass panel so I pried it up so it can "glue" back. Thank god I got Square trade warranty.
I have yet to find a good case to protect it since. My guess was the more tight fit the case, there is less room for shock absorption so it goes straight to the phone itself.

Well the phone is not moving around within the case. But the inside of the aluminium frame and the metal frame of the tempered glass back are covered with a foam material. That's necessary to not scratch our Note 8 for sure and it should prevent the phone from being broken if it drops. Anyway this is not a hardcore drop survivor case like the UAG cases are, i think. I've already searched for a drop test, but wirhout success. There are some aluframe test, but not for one of these.
If the community donates me another Note 8 i'll try that for you guys for sure
The Mi Mix i have owned was covered by a Luphie metal bumper having the same material inside. It dropped once out of the carmount between seat and middle console onto the metal mount of the Recaros. Just a tiny mark on the metal frame, but nothing happened to the phone! The corner it dropped onto, perfect condition. Remember, the Mix is ceramic! These frames definitly offer a decent protection. It's for sure a high quality aluminium.

As you can see on the pictures of my phone (last two attached pictures), yes. The rebranded one Zizo offers has a Zizo Text and the bottom text. The top one is missing if i remember right. Well, if you don't like the writing, don't buy this case.
My mother droptested it for me in the meantime. From the wireless charger, around 75cm height, onto a wood floor. Well, everything fine, no scratches, simply zero damage.
