My accessory setup and experiences. - Galaxy S II Accessories

I'm a jerk. I said that I'd review something as soon as I got it, but I didn't. Work kicked my ass and I'm sorry for it. Anyway, here's what I got going on now:
SGP Glas (White) - Doesn't have a perfect fit. I lined it up perfectly with the sensors and the capacitive buttons aren't lined up at all. Not even close. I just turned the lights off. Other than that, no problems! 9/10
Aeonaz PolarBear (White) - Has a gloss finish, which is bad for sweaty/greasy hands. Has a heatsink for those ultra-demanding 3d games, and matches the glas. The design of this case is simply amazing and well worth the international shipping cost. 8/10
The white look is awesome, it hides the black bezel and makes it look different from what everyone else has, but since I'm in the US, it already does!
Without further ado, the other guys!
Zagg screen protector: Collects dust on the sides, had a lot of tear/stretch imperfections. Looks bad and has an orange peel effect. 6/10
Skinomi screen protector: Like zagg, only worse. Scratches leave permanent marks, and I found out that it cannot be cleaned with alcohol, as it burns right through! 4/10
SGP Ultra Crystal: Had one imperfection, and made dust incredibly visible. Made the screen gorgeous, but had a rainbow effect and accumulated oils like no other. 8/10
SGP Anti-Oleophobic: Haven't tried it yet, but it's lying around.
Mustang Anti-Fingerprint: Used for 3 weeks, no oil accumulation, has a color to add around the bezel like the Glas, only it's once again not a perfect fit, but very on-par with the Glas. 9/10
Cases!
Boxwave TechMesh (Frosted Clear): Turned yellow on me! High quality rubber grips the phone and absorbs shock well. 6/10
S-design TPU hybrid case (Black): Best fit! For when I fear of drops, this is the one! It's impossible to drop it with the side grips and textured back. 8/10
Hope this helps. 1-10 score is arbitrary, just an assessment of my feelings on what I bought, especially as far as cost:effect is concerned. All of the things I purchased are of stellar quality, except the Skinomi protector. Will avoid Skinomi at all costs in the future.

Hi, I am using the SGP Oleophobic, so far its good
But acumulates the oils until you pass your finger again. 9/10

Belkin Matte Anti-Glare Screen Overlay

I just installed Belkin Matte screen overlay on both of my Xoom's. I paid $25 for a two pack at Target. I am extremely impressed with the product. Eliminated smudges with only a moderate loss in light transmission. I installed using the water spray method. To keep from water damage. I wrapped the periphery of each Xoom with paper towels. I sprayed the sticky side of the overlay with water and carefully layed it down over the screen. Using a credit card wrapped in a few layers of paper towels I started from the center and worked my way out to the sides.
http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=546374
any actual pics?
Same here.. I got the Motorola BT keyboard on clearance for $48, and got the Belkin matte screen 2 pack also
I'm liking it a lot so far, was VERY easy to put on and looks great. It still smudges a little but not nearly as much.
i would also love to see pics... especially how the screen is looking with matte screen protector. the ones i used were terrible.

I tried taking some pics, but you really couldn't see anything.
I've used these type of protectors before. The first coouple days, you feel good about protecting your device, but the lackluster feel and reduced screen look will make you claw it off soon. I have been using my X and XOOM for a long time with no screen protectors with no probem. Motorola has a great build quality with the Corning Gorilla Glass, and it is rather resillient.
P.S. I do keep my xoom in the folio case, and am well pleased with the protection.
I'm glad I saw this thread. I got these for Christmas and kind of f'ed up on the first one, but the second one seemed like it was actually too big slightly, so I exchanged them at Target today and tried the water spray method which worked like a charm. There does seem to be a little moisture in some areas but it has been slowly going away since I reinstalled the new covers a couple hours ago. I personally think the screen looks much better with a matte cover on it (and most screens in general look better with matte covers). On all white backgrounds you can kind of see a prism effect, but I think the contrast is actually better, and pls there are no more fingerprints or any glare. It makes for much better viewing in bright areas too, gonna try it outside soon - without a cover you can't even see the screen unless you're in the shade when outdoors. I think this is the way that LCD displays were meant to be seen, LCD TVs always have a matte screen, and laptop LCDs with a matte finish are always more expensive than glossy. Anyway...I love it.

The 3M Vikuiti for Galaxy S2

I came across this 3M Vikuiti SPs while searching for "3M" and "Galaxy S2" in ebay. seems like there's quite a bit of positive reviews for it online.
Well, according to www[dot]3m-displayschutz[dot]de the CV8 can actually heal itself of micro scratches!
If you google "Vikuiti CV8 dqc160 ADQC27", there's a link by bedifol saying that CV8 has the strongest adhesive, with more descriptions.
www[dot]screen-protectors-shop[dot]com gives a good table breakdown of the different models.
I'm so interested to see what the different ones are like that I bought all 3 versions; the CV8, dqc160, and the ADQC27.
Anyone else got them?
I bought the ADQC27 when it just came out. HORRIBLE laser cutter; totally off. They refunded my money.
The domestic Korea 3M Estoc+ does self healing magic too, and has BEAUTIFUL fit.
Peoblem Is, it's specifically for Korean markets only, for now anyway.
I first bought a Vikuiti 3m protector for my S2 and was left really disappointed after reading some good reviews for other devices; the protector wasnt the right size, the cutouts were badly positioned and in a couple of small places the adhesive backing was absent causing unremovable bubbles
Bought myself a set of SGP ultraoleophobic protectors and have been amazed at how good they are, well worth the premium price! If youre after a case too the SGP Neo Hybrid is really nice and it comes with an included SGP ultra crystal protector, great value!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I ordered a CV8, DQC160, and ADQC27 SP to replace my spoilt SP.
--history--
My SGP Ultra optics was a horrible disaster, it blurred the screen, made swishing noises and created cloudy messes from my oily face. It lived about 5 days on my SGS2 before I tore it off.
My SGP Ultra Oleophobic SP stayed on for quite a while. The screen was brilliant with it on. When compared to a couple of my other friend's SGS2, my screen was definitely sharper and brighter, that they switched to Ultra Oleophobic SPs shortly (Though one guy maintained his privacy filter)
Recently, my phone fell, and it hit some pebbles. My SGP Ultra Oleophobic got punctured. Honestly, I have no idea how else to describe it. After using 2 months, I could also see micro-scratches on the SP. Anyway I was pretty upset, so I was out to try other SPs.
--end--
Review time
1. CV8
This was the first SP I tried on my SGS2 as there were two pieces in the packet.
By god it's horrible. The glue/adhesive was kinda very sticky, air bubbles were crazy hard to remove. I haven't screwed up a SP for a long time, and I know I'm looking at a screwed one. The cut outs were more or less accurate, so you have to exercise a lot of care in placing it.
That said, the SP felt smooth, and the extra hard coat on top of it was obvious. It felt more sturdy+reliable than the UltraOleophobic. It even withstood my sharp penknife scraping the top gently, and I didn't get any scratches.
I'm very sure that it's alot harder than most (if not all) SP's I've ever tested.
Verdict: Avoid, unless you're really really good at putting on SPs. It's incredible hard to put on, but it definitely won't drop off easily. Too bad I can't really test its claims of removing micro scratches, as I took it off to try the DQC160.
2. DQC160
Very precise cut out, so effort is needed to ensure that the SP is laid down correctly. Some special glue is used, quite different from the Japan/Korean made SPs. You will get bubbles no matter how you put it, but they can be removed. You just need to force the bubbles away. The glue will actually help force the air bubbles out, and with some effort you can get a 0 air bubbles SP.
While still as glossy, it's somewhat less reflective than the SGP UltraOleophobic SP. Goodness knows why, bit under dimmer lights, I can hardly make out my reflections on a blank screen, unlike previously with SGP. The surface of it is very smooth, and it has a teflon feel. The SGP Ultra Oleophobic feels exactly like the original glass panel; This SP while just as invisible, feels too smooth.
Verdict: It's pretty good IMHO, but the installation process is difficult. I've decided to keep this SP for at least a week more, will give more feedback then.
The DCQ sounds like a Euro version of the Estoc, possibly with different glue.

100% full coverage screen protecto

is there such thing aside from the spigen curved one? i heard the spigen ones are garbage. i've used skinomi (they were all right, not as durable), they covered 95% of the screen. the zagg invisible shields were garbage, wasted 25$ and thought it covers the whole screen but it left a huge gap.
Try Tippin Screen protector.
tippin is where its at for full curved protectors.. just remember any case that wraps around the edge tightly is probably not compatible
Does this tippin cover as good if not better than SGP Curved Crystal? The reason I ask is the images on Amazon show that it does not cover the portion immediately above the ear speaker. I love the curved crystal except for the dents that won't disappear. Does the tippin have this problem? Thanks!
the tippin pretty much covers all. ear speaker, sensors+camera, and home button are cut out. if you press on it hard enough with your nail, itll leave a dent. will it go away eventually? dont know, probably not. i think the tippin scratches kind of easily. i noticed a small rainbow line. not sure if its a scratched screen protector or cracked glass. another thing about these screen protectors...you have a small margin for error for placement. i was ocd at first and wanted it on 100% perfect alignment. i tried the tape the side method. thought i had it on perfect, but nope. a small sliver didnt stick because it was on slightly to the left. took the whole thing off and could not put it on as good as before. i spent almost an hr, gave up and ended up with even worse alignment. so my advice is get it aligned the way you want it on the 1st try. since these were a ***** to apply, id like a screen protector thats between full and gapped coverage. but the clarity is good and i think it gets slightly less fingerprints than the naked screen.

The Spigen is good. I would say they are far superior to the Skinomi ones.
I went this route. This is now in my top spot for screen protectors.
http://chrismchoi.blogspot.com/2013/03/seidio-vitreo.html
This is what I use. It covers the entire screen and is smooth. It also seems to repel fingerprints and is somewhat scratch resistent. Most people looking at my phone can't even tell there is a screen protector on it.

Thanks for the recommendations guys. I really like the Sigen Curved Crystal but am annoyed with the dents. When new, it is barely noticeable at all. I really wish this were available in more durable finish. The Seidio glass screen protector looks really nice but will not work with my case (Element Eclipse)
I am assuming the Realook is almost the exact same as the SGP curved crystal. The cutouts look the same and the hardness rating is the same. Do you notice dents that don't go away? If I were to use my fingernail to type, the screen protector would become pitted all over.

I don't notice any dents, but I use swype as my keyboard of choice. Do you push hard when texting? I let my 4 and 6 year old use my phone often, and I still don't notice much wear. There are a couple of tiny scrathes on my screen protector, and they are only noticeable in direct light at certain angles. I have had the protector on for about 3 months. My old protector (Zagg HD) showed fingernail dents and nicks about a week after I put it on.

the realook 3d forming is essentially the same thin material as the SGP curved crystal. It does dent very easily, but I do find that the dents flatten out and get much better after a day or two. It's not self-healing by any means, but the depth of the dents actually decreases and becomes almost invisible to the eye if the original dent isn't very deep. But I would echo everyone's advice on this thread: these full screen protectors most certainly will not work with almost every tpu case. Any tight fitting case will push up the corners of the protector no matter what you do. I learned the hard way and had to throw out 3 of them. So the cheap ebay s-curve/s-line tpu cases, diztronic, and mercury cases will not work with these protectors unless you get very lucky with your placement. Though I have all these cases and none of them worked with the realook 3d forming screen protector

Thanks Jottle. I was thinking it is probably the same material as the curved crystal. I have found 3 cases that the full coverage works with: UAG, Eclipse Element and SGP Modello. I love the look of the full coverage with these cases but with the dents, I have to replace the protector about once every 2 months.

I am currently using the Seidio Surface case with my Realook screen protector. It works without any problems. I have also used the Rock Quicksand case and the Incipio Sylicriic without any issues.

Just wanted to add that I've now tried the Tippin full coverage screen protectors as well. They are incompatible with my case as well. There are some tpu cases that will work with full coverage protectors. But the extremely tight ones that barely cover the corners will not.

Honor 9 Cases, Screen Protectors and other Accessories

Since there is only a thread for the Nillkin cases and tempered glass I thought it would be nice to have some thread for the accessories in general.
Until this day I tried 3 cases, two screen protectors (films) and two tempered glass protectors.
Case No. 1 ) Slim, silicone case http://www.ebay.com/itm/Transparent-Clear-Silicone-Slim-Gel-Case-For-Huawei-Honor-9/112446352466?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 - Very slim and light case made from nice silicone BUT the protection when dropped would be none. It's not made 100% precisely and since it's silicone it doesn't look any good on the back where it creates bubbles. I've ordered this as the first case to have at least some protection. Nice thing is they include free screen protector but the quality isn't very good - doesn't cover the whole display (I'm not talking about edge-to-edge) and there are 2mm gaps on each side and when the display is on it looks terrible. 2/5
Case No. 2) Nillkin Super Frosted http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-HUAWEI-Honor-9-NILLKIN-Super-Frosted-Shield-Hard-Plastic-Back-Covers-Cases-/152596952252?var=&hash=item23877cb4bc:m:mtNLCAV-KRHaAK2TUOYLPTg - very nice case, really sturdy BUT I have few complaints - it's kinda slippery on the sides but this will go away after some use maybe and the bottom side around jack, charging port and speaker is a bit sharp and if you're holding the phone with the little finger on the bottom it't not really comfortable. Besides that it's really nice case for the price but I expected a bit more. But once again for the price it's more than OK. 4/5
Case No. 3) TPU Shockproof case with "carbon" http://www.ebay.com/itm/Luxury-Carbon-Fiber-Slim-Shockproof-Soft-TPU-Back-Case-For-Huawei-Honor-9-Magic/112325496837?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=412748326145&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 - as you can imagine, there is absolutely no carbon at all, just some kind of "sticker" or what it is. Nevermind, this case is the best of the three. Really nice case made from TPU, sturdy, should have the best drop protection and fits just perfectly. There is a small "rim" around the screen that should protect the screen from scratches when the phone is "face down". 5/5
Screen protector (film) No. 1) Nillkin Super Clear Protective Film - in terms of size the best screen protector I've had. Obviously it's not edge-to-edge but it does cover the whole display with gaps on the edges BUT the display is fully protected so thumbs up for me. In terms of "anti-fingerprint" it's nowhere close to the display or the back but is much better than some noname protector I've got with TPU case. Overall very nice screen protector for free but I'm still waiting for the Nillkin H+ tempered glass and some noname edge-to-edge tempered glass. 4/5
Tempered glass No. 1) Edge-to-edge blue 2.5D tempered glass http://www.ebay.com/itm/9H-2-5D-Full-Cover-Real-Tempered-Glass-Screen-Protective-Film-For-Huawei-honor-9/152593109357?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=452016649496&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 - really nice tempered glass (2 pcs) for the price. It has the adhesive only on the top, bottom and the sides but the application was very easy and the glass holds on even with any of tested cases. It has some "dots" in the screen area so I got no rainbow effect whatsoever. The blue color is a bit different from the original color od the phone but it's not a problem since you have your phone in a case. Overall for the price pretty good. 4/5
Tempered glass No. 2) Normal tempered glass Caliber (bought in CZE) - not edge-to-edge, doesn't cover the whole screen, gaps on the sides. Overall sh*t. 1/5
Still waiting for the Nillkin H+ tempered glass.
Nilkin Amazing H+ Pro is No Go
Got the 0.2mm H+ Pro. It's cover the display area for like 99%, with-out just about 0.5mm on each side, after all still the best.
BUT. The silicon layer doesn't hold the tempered glass on both sides, looks like the phone display curve started a bit earlier than its needed for the protector.
It doesn't stick to the display, making it looks like ****, with 3mm frame from each side. Top/bottom sides stick OK, all the way to edges.
So Nilkin Amazing H+ Pro is No Go for me.
Well, got it yesterday so I'm still waiting to try it but not sure if wan't to :laugh:
cases
sooooo, I bought these from tvc mall. They were so cheap that I bought three different ones with the intent of disposing of whichever were poor. Thing is, they are all good in their own way. The plain bumper is just very slimline. The rugged looking one is cool as it has a stand in landscape mode, and the wallet is exceptional quality, given the price. All three fit perfectly, but the plain bumper makes the power and volume buttons so much more tactile. The rugged one looks really cheap in silver, perhaps black would have been a good choice. As i wasn't expecting much from the wallet one, I also oredered the nilkin wallet but that hasn't arrived yet.

I have also ordered the ultimate sheild screen protector, which is edge to edge, in black as I think it will make an excellent contrast to the silver rear of the handset....which wont be visible when the (absolutely necessary) bumper is fitted!
Ultimate sheild screen protector
.... And the ultimate sheild protector turned up. It is excellent. A word of caution, unless this is fitted absolutely perfectly, it will render one or both of the capacitance keys inoperable. This happened to me as i fitted the sheild a fraction of a millimetre to the right. I carefully removed and replaced it with more accuracy.
Here is a pic of the black sheild fitted to my silver H9, and a photo of the plain bumper fitted from my previous post. Svelt but rugged!
After a couple of hours of use I can say that there has been no loss of sensitivity on the screen or capacitive buttons, but on darker details and the blacks, it does look like the screen is behind a sheet of glass. You will know what i mean if you have used a screen protector which bonds over its entirety, whereas this one has a mild adhesive at the top and bottom of the protector, where the bezels are. A small price to pay i think to protect my new device. It is mostly noticeable in bright light, not so much in low light. And I love the new black look of the bezels with the silver fingerprint sensor still visible.
Right, so, some more hours on....the ultimate sheild has begun to show its flaws. Towards the middle of the screen there is now what i can only describe as a "woodgrain" effect. This could be caused by tiny amounts of moisture getting between the screen and protector, which I guess there is nothing to stop that happening. They offered a refund for dissatisfaction so I guess I will be chasing that up. Pfffft. So disappointed.....
Is there a smart cover for it ?!
Just bought the TPU Shockproof case and it is amazing! It's a very good quality and it doesn't makes the phone feel like a toy.
I really like it and definitely recommend it!

Can you upload a photo of the phone with the case applied?! That would be awesome
The nilkin "sparkle series" wallet turned up. Its awful. Unlike the cheap wallet I purchased, which remains closed under magnetism, the nilkin just falls open and feels poorer quality.
The Ipaky bumper with the clear perspex back is, however, very nice. The only caveat, it sits flush with the screen so offers no protection if you decide to place your device screen down.
I'm waiting for the smart cover case, if it didn't come fast, I'll go with a skin.
I have bought an honor 9 few days ago. Somebody could suggest me a screen protector that cover whole display? With 3D display is so difficult find a good screen protector....

I don't like this type of tempered glass (i know that is the only solution for cover 3d display without space).
So, someone has tested "invisible film screen protector"?

Did someone try the Mofi screen protector? According to a review on Aliexpress it has minimal space at both sides.
I've seen ones from ultimate shield, I'm considering getting one.

Good luck with that. Did you read my earlier post? As the protector does not actually sit on the screen, due to the adhesive around the edges, it is susceptible to the "rainbow effect" which i think is caused by humidity between screen and protector. It seemed to manifest itself after the phone had been in my pocket and warmed up. I don't have an overly sweaty crotch.....
Anyhow, they apologised and promptly sent a replacement and the same happened again.
By all means give it a go and they will refund you without issue.

My thoughts on the Poetic Revolution Case and Poetic Glass Screen Protector(Pics)

Hey Everyone, just thought I'd put my two cents out there since we are all searching for the perfect screen protector and cases. I ordered the Poetic Revolution in white from amazon and their Tempered glass hoping they'd work good together.
Pics- https://imgur.com/a/w9y2yw0
Okay so the case is a pretty rugged case with a nice lip around the screen. The tempered glass fits in the case well. I popped out the plastic built in screen protector on the case since I'm a tempered glass guy. The case is well made and matches my white pixel 3 xl well Very similar to the Supcase Unicorn Beetle pro's I've had and I-blason armorbox but not as bulky as those. Volume and power buttons are super clicky without much force and thats nice. The sides are a nice texture. Its pretty grippy.
The tempered glass is a edge adhesive type with the black border and it works pretty well. Good cut outs and fits the screen well. Will have to see how strong the glue is in long term use. I wish they included a bigger wet wipe, since the one included is tiny and not super damp. Other than that it works pretty well. It's dot matrix and sensitivity is pretty good. Only a tiny bit of rainbowing but some is expected with the edge adhesive type. Honestly ill take that over bubbles and this has none. Overall I'm very happy with it considering I've seen some really terrible glass protectors on here and XDA lol.

I have this case too, the built in screen protector is OK, a LITTLE loose when the weather is cold so you can feel your finger "catch" sometimes. Also worth mentioning that the edge sense is still ok to use. I was worried with how sturdy the build is that it might not activate but this is not the case. I have ordered the stand but my understanding is that wireless charging should also not be an issue. The poetic tempered glass has a 2 star rating on amazon right now so I was worried to try that.
