whats your view Guyz ! about these ? - Motorola Photon 4G

Hey
just got my MoPho, looks great with that gorilla glass
wanted to ask 2 questions
1.. has anyone tried this ?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/320753226759?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
It looks pretty different from those lame checkered and diamond cases
I am fond of these light and durable TPU cases actually, has anyone tried it ?? how does it look ? the back of Photon is pretty awesome looking so want something which still allows it to be seen
2.. The glass on the photon is gorilla , so do i need any screen protector for it ?
if yes can anyone link me to some on ebay ?
thanks

gorilla glass is scratch resistant and impact resistant, but can still be scratched. Keys shouldnt be a problem, but sand (which is silicone) can scratch it. A lot of people keep their phone in their pocket, or wipe it with their t-shirt.....all it takes is a grain of sand.
screen protectors are only plastic. they will get scratched. I would recommend getting something cheap that you can easily replace.

ok about screen protectors ordered these

I agree that the TPU case i linked is expensive , but it looks different from the others.
if you prefer others then could u plz recommend some good ones ,
regards

I have had my mopho going on a year now with no protector and the glass is flawless. I use my phone ALOT and I work in a dirty shop so I can say I love the gorilla glass!

I would rather prefer a tpu case coz it protects the phone pretty well from the impact of a fall and stuff.
Guyz please link me to some decent ones.

The phone is quite durable as it is. You don't really need any protection. I kept mine naked and it still look decent in spite being dropped several times on concrete and blacktop! I do have some tiny scratches on the glass, but the only way to see those are if I turn the screen off, wipe my screen, and try to find the scratches in the reflection. Hardly anything to worry about.

Those are probably as good as they're going to get.

Get the SILICRYLIC if you're planning on texting whilst rock climbing, or if people piss you off a lot and make you throw your phone at something.

Xperia Neo Invisible Shield FULL BODY Protector

http://www.ebay.in/itm/120788652244?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_5662wt_905
This is an excellent product - I've put it on the phone and then I've put a case over the top of it.
The reason I've done this is because I've noticed that any dust that gets between the phone and the cover/case acts like sand paper and scratches the surface - this plastic stuff is like a screen protector that goes over most of the phone.
It covers the back and the sides and around the keypad and around the front camera and the speaker etc.
There is also a piece that goes over the screen but I took this off because the current screen protector I have on is clearer to see through in the sun.
Its very easy to apply and goes on nicely without any ugly parts or mis-alignments.

Seems perfect, but my phone is scratched all over the place already . Not going to sell it anyway, but it looks bad. Backside is like this:
Mine oo :/
Im buying a white panel for it and putting that screen guard thing all over xo

You can also apply a skin onto the phone like the Zagg skins so you can protect from further scratches and also earlier scratches will be hidden..

I want to keep the same colour from the back. I am considering just buying a replacement back cover, quite expensive at €15, but the shields are not that cheap either.

I'm planing the same thing.. I don't trust the shields and stuff..
Will dust get (inside) under the screen easily?
I used in last 3 mobiles and invisible shield it´s great!!!!!
I am also using this shield for my white Neo V. It accumulates dust on some of the corners, rest it looks great and need a good amount of hard work to apply..
Had a Milestone once, putting the invisible shield on it was a pain, quite expensive too.. Sinse then I decided to use a simple cover, or just nothing since I switch phones about every year, and d damages shield is no good too.
The ebay link is not working :/
I have this on my Neo for the past 6 months. It attracts lot of dust if not properly applied I am in the process of removing it one bye one. I think only the back cover needs one. The rest will lose its finish once this is applied.
thanks!!
pretty hard to apply correctly
This needs a lot of patience to apply. I had one for about 5 months. The corners started accumulating dust and slowly started peeling off the edges. I had no choice but to remove and switch over to a rubber case.
Is this avaliable in Nepal as well... I too want to have this cover on my Neo??
I've found it on ebay.com for $9
This is also non-marking?
Unfortunately, access to this particular item has been blocked due to legal restrictions in some countries.
So true...

don't you think it will make your phone hotter during its peak performance?

iloome or spigen?

It seems like two of the more popular TG companys are iloome and spigen. Which one would be a better choice and in your opinion why?
TG screen is going to be paired to a UAG case if that makes a difference

Theres a big thread about it and other guards here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2441894
The consensus I gathered is that they both have the same cutouts and overall clarity, but the spigen takes the slight lead with a better coating leading to more smoothness and fingerprint resistance. That being said it comes at a price of +$15. I'm holding off till black friday/cyber week to see any deals arrise at which point I'll either go with the deal or order an iLoome.
yeah im on page 35 of the thread lol. Reading through 60+pages and keeping everything straight could be an all day task hahah

ya haha it's quite the lengthy one. I personally wish they'd have a camera cutoutt, even if its minor degradation of quality from the glass, I'd rather have the cutout, but hate the massive top cutout ones.
I actually like iloome flex, you can barely tell it's on there. After a week of use the screen is just as slick as without the screen protector but it did drag a bit when it was brand new on the screen. I have a Glas t.r as back up for when/if the iLoome flex needs to be replaced.

Haha, funny you say that. I have the glas.tr and it feels exactly as if it's not there. The smoothness is just solid. I never believed in screen protectors until I got this one for my Note 3. I learned my lesson from my Note 2 that got a random scratch from maybe keys in the pocket or something. Either way, you won't be disappointed. Others complained about the glas.t, so that's why I got the glas.tr. Great decision.
I have the glastr Spigen on my Note 2 and I absolutely love it.
When I got the Note 3 I immediately ordered the same one for it, but I have had two Spigens for the N3 now & both where defective.
At that point, I decided to go a different route & ordered the ilhoome flex. The flex went on perfectly, it is completely invisible.
The flex is not quite as slick as the Spigen & doesn't reject fingerprints & smudges as well as the Spigen, but it is also completely invisible as opposed to the thick kinda ugly Spigen.
You set on getting a glass SP?
SwiftKey'ed from my White Sprint Note 3 via XDA Premium
Now I am using XGear and it's good (MIME cracked so I had to replace).
Spigen one....and I really like their products....
I have the Iloome and it's great. It maybe possible that the Spigen is a by hair smoother though I'm not going to take the Iloome off and spring another $50 nzd just to find out.
I don't think you'll find many people who can give an honest comparison for this reason. Besides the obvious expense, fitting a screen protector is a real pain.
At the end of the day the Spigen may be slightly better but it's certainly not twice as good yet it costs almost twice as much. Something to think about.

how were they defective?
I have used both and the Spigen is the best over all. As said in second post they both have the same cutout however the Spigen glass resistance to fingerprint is unmatched. The iloome while easy to clean it attracts fingerprints like a mirror. I returned the Spigen due to the cut not been accurate enough to sit flush with Spigen Neo Hybrid case. The iloome sits flush with my Spigen Neo Hybrid Case so no trapped dirt.

Skip both of those and get a Mime. Best one I've ever used by far. Slick, no bubbles, no gaps, easy installation. Make sure you add a home button on your order for $1. I'm pretty OCD and I couldn't get it lined up like I wanted it. Applied it and removed it about 15 times until I got it just right. This thing is perfect

Just fyi.. just got my last email from iloome. (promptly emailing me on a daily basis (2 days) to get this resolved))... unfortunately I believe this is one in a million but the adhesive on the tip top right was not tacky enough to adhere down and hold. (first case out of the 100's of reviews i've read.. so i asuume the chances of it happening again are at least one in a 1000.....(i have bad luck that somehow forms a field around me.... at work they call me the black cat because things seem to just start breaking down when i'm around not touching a thing.. lol) ANYWAY..... I have to say iLoome tech/help support was A++ Class... they were very apologetic.... basically a picture sent and even thouugh they could not see any issues from there end (hard to take a pic of a clear screen) they apologized completely.... told me steps to take to get a new one shipped out... and i need not ship the other one back.... can't ask for better customer service then that..... best i've probably ever had actually.. as far as screen protectors go I will order from them from here on out just because of the way they treated me as a customer and how prompt they were to make it right

I would agree...a glass screen protector is merely that. some may be a bit better then others but by bit i do mean bit..... if you want to pay twice the cost..... triple the cost etc... for that bit that is your choice.... i payed the amount i payed for the flex.. and that was considerably cheap really... considering this is what happens when u drop a phone from 8 foot or lower (with a decent.. and i mean decent phone cover on it) it's going to shatter that 10-50 dollar screen protector depending on if it lands on that sweet spot.... and in 95% of the cases it may very well do that. the rest are going to shatter the "outter" glass that you applied to it.... NOW the question is did you buy from a reputable company.... I think we can all admit who is reputable and who isn't just from the debate on xda (sorry text is a bit jumped been sick)

i-blason armorbox. Good case?

I've always wondered about these cases. They look decent for the price. Anyone use these before?
I am pretty satisfied with Otterbox Commuter case for my S7

Armorbox, just the best protection I could find.
Tough hybrid case, very sturdy and fits the phone well.
However I did remove the included screen protector since I had installed one already.
If you are gonna remove the screen protector, you gotta be very careful, the hard plastic enclosure is very flimsy and can break easily.

Hi, just ordered the chrome, on amazon most of the screen protectors are just for the xz, has anyone found some decent ones and most don't look that good. thanks

I ordered and have already received this one from Amazon US:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XRRP4CC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
J&D have good reviews on their other screen protectors. Examining them they look great. No reviews on this specific one yet as no one has the phone of course.
I used to have screen protectors and now I got tempered glass on my z5, but then when I recommend it for my sibling's X performance it was all ugly and didn't fit perfectly...
I'm just going to wait to see real life examples first...
What I mentioned earlier was tempered glass, FYI
I ordered the Roxit Tempered Glass protector from Sony direct. Great cover - the only shame is they have the top and bottom blacked out - which means they have a weird cutout feature at the top allowing you to still read the Sony logo - wish they had just made it clear all the way through. But would rather have the phone protected. Will keep an eye out for better protectors I the future though - as it would be nice to see the full screen on the front.

Hi,
Thanks for the recommendation, that's look good.
On the amazon site, there is no cut out for the bottom speaker? Is this the case with the real product? How does that impact on sound quality?
I got the J&D. Not too happy with the fit. Very hard to capture in photos, but here you go..
The issue is, the sides don't lay flush, so it shows up kind of white and will be a dust magnet.
This is another reason why I wish all OEM's would STOP using this curved 2.5 glass! Unless there is some real reason for using it all it does is make using a tempered glass protector nearly impossible to use because none of them fit properly without big gaps on the sides. The LG G6 is probably the only mainstream phone with a truly flat screen.

I like them both but The Roxfit Tempered Glass is a fingerprint magnet which is a bit of a pain sometimes.
close up picture of the Roxit tempered glass - agree it can be a fingerprint/ finger oils magnet! But I presume the normal screen would be too?

The normal screen has an oleophobic coating to help repel fingerprints.
The screen protector looks fairly good in the fit and finish... does it adhere well on the edges, or is there that little lift that allows dust and dirt to gather underneath?

I don't recommend it due to the price, I can'f find a screen protector that actually sticks on the sides yet. The case is flimsy which I dont care for but the quality is good if that makes any sense.
Just popped into a shop and saw the chrome - omg - defo my next phone. Used to have a Z1 and had front and rear glass protectors and think the same would be a good idea - not a fan of cases. Anyone seen any rear glass protectors?

Glass screen protectors

I dont see why it isnt possible for someone to make a screen protector that is split in two that fits on each side of the screen. This would eliminate the issues with being having to be gentle with the screen, as only the fold would be at risk of scratching and denting.
I now see that this would probably be pretty distracting seeing those edges of the protectors in the center of the screen. Even the fold is visible sometimes. So yea, carry on

Its not just that, the plastic film on the foldable led screen is not designed for an adhesive, and the hinge is not designed for a bigger gap that the additional few mm of the glass would create. Samsung would encourage people to use one if the design allowed it in the first place
I used one available on ebay. It's a soft flexible plastic material. Kinda self healing. Had it on for 2 months and removed it just fine with no damage to the actual screen at all. Replaced it with a new one and the original screen is still perfect underneath. I'm not afraid to use it without washing my hands first now. Lol

Is your screen protector scratch resistant?
In this video the healing shield screen protector seems nice. Made in Korea.

The rest are made in China which may not be good.

That video doesn't show any results for me. But yes it is self healing, has a bit of a rubberized texture, like a zagg but thinner. I've only tried scratching it with my fingernail so not too great of a test. But overall you can't even tell it's on there so I'm happy with it. My device feels more secure.
+1 for the ebay one! Got full device and loving it so far!
