Just curious if anyone has any experience with 3m adhesive on frosted glass like the OP6T or pixels, and if it can damage the coating if you have to remove it. Thanks!
I put the 3M magnetic adhesive on my OP3. It never really worked well. However, on my OP5 I always just put it in my case. I do the same thing with the 6T with the included case.

I have one on my 3T with no issue, but I'm concerned about it damaging the frost coating on the 6T. Putting it inside the case facing the phone may make that situation worse than just trying to apply directly to the phone I would think.

That's why I installed a dbrand skin first, then stuck the metal plate directly on the inside of the case. I use the case when I'm going out, otherwise no case, keeps it slim and protected.

Not a bad idea, but I'd be curious about the same thing--can the adhesive damage the frost? Maybe I should Google what dbrand uses...

I don't think it would damage anything, but you never know. I've wrapped my last 4 phones, never a scratch, opo3, pixel, lg v30 and now the 6t. Keeps them mint for resale.
my metal plate had a hard time adhering to my silk white oneplus 6. Had to put a skin on it for the plate to stick.

Seems this may be my best option to guarantee it works, or getting a Spigen ring that doubles as a magnet plate.
Nillkin makes a case with magnetic plate embeded into the case. I currently use it for my OP5, ideal IMHO

I attached one of the Spigen car mount metal plates to the outside of the case that came with the OnePlus 6T and leave it in my car. Any time I'm in my car for an extended period and want to use the car mount I switch my sandstone case for the one with the metal plate.
For those curious, the plate sticks fine. Hopefully it doesn't damage anything, but doesn't feel like it will.
Didi you experience any damage caused by having a magnet on the back of your device? (i.e. compass not pointing the right direction or damage with camera)
I've used magnetic car holders and a metal plate stuck on the back of my case for about 2 years and i didn't notice any serious damage..
But having a magnet on the back of your phone will mess with GPS antenna.
I always experienced GPS signal loss(not often). But it did happen, also it messes with your compass.
I installed my metal plate on the frosted glass case. And it adhered perfect. But chose to get another type of car holder.
It's better to use a "self locking l" car phone holder.
Trust me the magnet gimmick can be avoided, there is way better solutions that won't mess with your hardware

dbrand uses 3M adhesive. Should be fine.
Honestly thinking about opening up the phone and placing a metal plate over the battery because of the lack of wireless charging. So you can't see the plate ever lol

I was wondering if there are any good bumber cases for Z2.
Rubberised, aluminium etc etc. It just has to look and feel goodand also protect the phone from falls and stuff. I tried searching on Flipkart, Amazon etc but wasn't sure about the quality of those aluminium bumper cases. If anyone who've tried them can clear my doubts, let alone suggest me one. Thanks
I came to my this a week ago, aluminum, It seems very durable nice and comfortable

Personally I use one of these (see link) from AliExpress. Not the same buyer I used but they are in there if you look for slightly cheaper. This case has a screw to keep the bumper on and my phone has survived MANY drops AND also was run over by a car! Still working though I was also using front and back tempered glass protectors, also my proximity sensor is bust, but took the pressure of the car and front screen survived. I put it down to this lock tight metal bumper.

This one. And i m thinking to buy one more. Personally i have not been able to find a good cover case hence i started using this bumper case and it lks good too. It covers the phone as well as doesnt cover it completely which normally gives bad look. So i m happy. This is from India i suppose, maybe u can find the same one from ebay.com
I've ordered this one from eBay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181382109246
Only 2 GBP, hard matte black rubberized plastic plus a cutout for magnetic charger.
The sellers down to his last one.
Looking at the other case mentioned above I guess the one I've ordered isn't a bumper case as the o/p suggested.

Not necessarily. It depends what part of the phone the aluminum covers. Some only cover the outer perimeter and shouldn't make any difference to signal strength.

yes necessarily ! what you mean is "not at the same degree" . When you put metal all way around your phone you create the Faraday cage phenomenon which leads to degraded signal . If that is 10% or 40% it really depends but i wouldnt risk it. Just buy a plastic or leather one

Well I have a silicon based bumper for Z2 and it fits quite well, although the side buttons become little tighter to operate.

Any good rubber bumpers with the hole for the magnetic charger?
So I've tried in excess of 10 cases for my S8. The fact that I bought them on Amazon made the process long and tedious. I've tried 4 from Spigen and several no name brands. The latest one I've tried is the official sillicone case. It's great but too sticky and any dust or lint sticks to it solidly.
When I had an S7 I had a case I absolutely loved, this one:
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0...ge_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&tag=androidcent08-20
Unfortunately, they don't make it for the S8 (yet they do for the Note 8 which is frustrating).
Anyhow, does anyone which case can be the equivalent of the one above? I want a hard-ish case, with at least the bottom uncovered but ideally the buttons as well, rubberized back and dark if not black. That's it.
Thanks!

Oh that does look like a good one. Have you used it? If that point design is not rubbery but rather plastic it's going to be annoying to hold. Plus that lack of a slight lip on front worries me.

I use that one. It's got a rubber coating to it. Slim cases like that aren't meant for protection. No lip doesn't bother me as I have a glass protector.

Picked up the McClaren 5g version from T-Mobile yesterday, and I'm in love with the phone, throughout. Beautiful design, hardware, software. Everything.
I wanted a protective case however did not want to cover the beautiful back.
I figure the combo is cheap enough that I can get something else if this doesn't fit my needs.
Anyone else tried either of the two products?

What combo are you referring to? (No link or images provided.)
RhinoShield has the Crash Guard bumper & a clear skin for the backside (screen protector also available).
This combo definitely fits what you're looking for.
As with all of the Crash Guard bumpers, it adds quite a bit of an increase to the overall width of the phone. If that isn't a factor one way or the other, I'd say you need to look no further.
I'm sure there's some aluminum bumpers available from eBay & the like, but, they offer little to no protection & likely have an even more uncomfortable grip vs the included case or, the RhinoShield Bumper.

THX for posting the pix. :good:
There's several different mfgs with this design to be found on Amazon/e-Bay/Ali Express, etc......
I like the idea of clear cases in general, but, most seem to have some nagging traits....
The rainbow effect comes to mind right off the bat, as well as being a fingerprint magnet.
Most don't wear well after a few weeks of use, with scuffs/scratches.
A matte clear case may negate most of the above, but, likely will obscure the true appearance of the decorative backside.
I've seen some all-glass cases, encasing the entire phone, front & back, might not be a bad way to go.

I've had luck with uag clear cases, however, as you know they aren't truly 100% transparent and clear due to their honey comb pattern design.
That all glass case is a pretty interesting design, never seen it before. I wouldn't imagine it would look as good after 3,4 drops compared to a plastic /poly case.
I'm definitely not opposed to trying a different combo if this one doesn't work, as it was less than 20 dollars. I did look into the dome whitestone glass sp, however I'm opposed to applying an actual adhesive to my screen.
Any other decent glass sp that doesn't require adhesive?
Here's the case. After closely examining the edges of the phone and case, I am not sure this screen protector will be compatible as I will interfere at edges and pull up.
The screen protector and case fit perfectly. A bit different installation method then what I'm usually used to, but got it perfect on the second try. Very pleased.

Your case isn't even compatible with the phone. You are covering the laser autofocus area on the back. The 7 Pro cases don't have the necessary cutout. You need a 7T Pro case.
I know this was already addressed in a different thread. No longer using that case. Now using the one that came with the mclaren.

It fits nicely like it is made for each other. it has maybe 1mm gap between the glass protector and case.
I was hoping to attach a magnet ring to use a Magsafe finger ring. But the adhesive basically bounced off the back of the case. (cream color for reference). The ring stuck perfectly right after to my Note10+ so it has to be something about the back glass that has a super slick coating. Just wondering if things like magnet rings or stickers etc are basically useless against this mutant super powered anti stick back cover.

It creates dead spots in the screen. Instead of adhering it to the phone. Maybe a case and attach one to it.
I used to cut holes in the otter box and adhere my magnet directly to the hard plastic. I got those super strong ball and magnet holders for my tool box car and desk. One magnet for 2 different holders. As well one on my tripod for night shots. But it always made dead spots the pen don't work.
Thats the thing. Im trying to go caseless. Not a fan of the thickness coming from a Note10+ which almost fees like half the girth.
You have to get the magsafe ring that is not magnetic. Then your phone should be okay. There are ones that are compatible with magsafe but they're just metal rings. Those will not affect the s pen or the screen. Otherwise you'll have to put the mag safe sticker on a case rather directly than on the phone.

Pretty nice sturdy case but it say the 'protective cover' for the screen is NOT tempered glass! Notta BIG deal but if the polyurethane cover is well attached, you may need to cut it close with an exacto razor knife. I had to with a mil-spec poetic HD case. For $50 it should come with tempered glass, ffs. Let us know how it goes if u get it!

I find it hard to believe that putting your phone in a metal sarcophagus wouldn't impact cell reception. dbrands Damascus vinyl even impacts signal (minimally) and that's just a tiny sliver of metallic foil.

Well believe it. There's no metal where the antennas are. Plus, to actually BLOCK RF requires an electrical connection to ground.
