Otterbox Commuter & XO Skins Screen protector Review w/ PICS!

Hey xda members, 2 days ago i got my Otterbox Commuter case, and today i recieved my XO Skins screen protector.
This is my first time writing a review, so please bare with me lol
So I've been using the otterbox case for a few days now and i must say I LOVE IT!
the fit is very nice, looks great, and feels awesome. I have read that some people find it to be too slippery, but for me its great. I likke how it has the flaps for the charger port and headphones jack, helps keep out dust and such. It sits very nicely in the hand, i found the phone without any case to be a little slim and i felt like it was going to slip out everytime I held it. The one concern I have with this case is the power button, and those that have this case please let me know if it's the same with yours, i can't feel the button actually push in, it feels more like I just touch it and the screen comes on or off. Not sure if I like it or not but i am getting used to it now. The volume buttons on the other hand feel fine. At first i was worried that the case would make the phone look and feel bulky, as i had one for my X2, but i was surprised this doesn't add too much bulk. The phone, to me at least, feels perfect in my hand. Also this case covers up the the prongs below the power button, i don't mind or care about it but some of you might so keep that in mind. Also i do have the extanded battery 2100mAh too and did try it with this case and it's not a nice fit. There are some gaps on the sides and the buttons seem like they are pressed in at times so i would not recommend this case with the extended battery.
And just a few hours ago I recieved my XO Skins screen protector in the mail and put it on right away. My previous screen protector I had just before i put this one on was the verizon one, and it sucked. Cut outs were bad and too large for the toop speaker and there was about a mm of space on the edges of the screen, which i didn't like. The XO on the other hand is fantastic. The screen protector is almost invisible unless you look at the cutout for the front cam and light sensor. It goes right to the very edge of the screen which i like. The quality is also fantastic. The material feels somewhat like that of the ZAGG but no orange peel what so ever, which i also like. I did however order the ZAGG as well for the full body just to be safe lol.
Overall I recommend this case with this screen protector to anyone, both are a great combination. The case i got on ebay for 29.50 and free shipping and the screen protector i got from the XO website, and somewhere on here someone posted some discount coupons which i wish i would have seen before i bought mine but no biggy it was only 13.xx i believe plus 2.99 shipping
I also have on the way and SGP Neo Hybrid case which i will post a review once i get it. Got the Reventon Yellow.

^The cutouts are really nice and precise unlike the verizon one i had
Also, you can't really tell here but the XO skins doesn't affect the quality of the screen what so ever. took that pic on the Nexus actually hood of my car very nice pics even though some people complain.
If someone would like to know something more or see more pics let me know.
Thanks

Looks great! Is that the case fit or regular XO Skin?

its the regular fit. i dont like the case fit because it doesnt go all the way to the edges of the screen

Looks like a lot of lint / dust is attracted to the case.

actually not really, i just used a microfiber towel and it left that behind. im picky about that stuff too and the case doesnt actually attract that much if any.

Question about the XO skin (not directed towards the topic creator but I just figured that since this thread is somewhat related to it I could ask it here), how does the lifetime replacement warranty work? Is it like, you order it and get it but you apply it wrong somehow and it gets ruined they will send you back a new perfect one for you to apply?

I sent them a email. They sent me a link to order a replacement with a rma #. You have to pay $3 and some change for shipping. They tell you too send back the original skin, but for me they sent the replacement upon payment for the shipping. Note that they don't send you any more solution so if you don't have any left you can order more from the site for $3. Not sure if the adding of the solution will increase the shipping costs since I didn't order it. Basically they sent the skins in a regular envelope for regular first class postage of $.44. So they really don't lose anything because they make about $3 on the postage.

That's good to hear. The CM Tough Case's silicon always attracted lint/dust, it appears this one seems better to avoid it.

Is the power button easy to depress with the commuter? My isn't clicky like the volume buttons. I do have a replacement coming soon.

It sucks no one sells the commuter locally. Where did you get it?

most likely lol.. ive seen them price drop on Amazon lately... bought myself the Commuter last night for ~$29 with free shipping.
Had a Case-Mate Tough Case before but was tired of the silicon attracting dust plus Case-Mate refunded me the money I paid for the case so it's like I got it for free because of the revision. Decided not to go with Case-Mate again and give this case a try as I bought a extended battery and that wouldn't fit with Case-mate.

bah looks like I paid $1 over oh well haha

I use the spray for a cleaner now. you can just refill the bottle with water. Add a drop of dish soap if you want. That's all it is. Someone sprayed some in their eye and they said that on their twitter account http://twitter.com/xoskins
That Otter box and xo combo looks great. I have been waiting to get the Otterbox for it, just waiting for it local. I'll probably just order online for it now.

Cool.
Thanks.

Thanks for the review! I think I'm gonna pop off my Defender SP and install one of those XO skins.

Why do they sell the case for cheaper on Amazon rather than their own site?

Nillkin LG Nexus 5 Anti-Explosion Tempered Glass Screen Protector

Anti-Explosion!!!!
i've used one of their thin cases before and liked the quality, especially given the cheap price. haven't had any experience with any of their screen protectors, but i'm hoping their quality extends to these new glass screen protectors.
just placed an order. will update once i've installed it.
$14.89 + FS from DX-BOX
Selected and used Japan imported AGC glass material and HARVES nanotechnology with excellent defensive performance. It owns super high transmittance and high restoring the original color of screen. It supports anti-glare coating to prevent glare derivative. Used tempered glass, its hardness up to 9H; scratch-resistant flowers and blowout. Its surface used Nanometer thin oil coating which is anti-fingerprint, oil rub resistance and effectively preventing and filtering ultraviolet ray. It also fused the global advanced screen protector process technology. Its thickness is only 0.3mm with precise CNC cutting technology. 2.5D edging craft make the film fit the screen easily, combine the film and phone body better. At the same time, there will no risk to hurt our hands in the process. It creates perfect edges; make the film thinner, clearer and safer.
Environmental and silicon coating; quicker adsorption and can be reused after cleaning.

Sounds interesting... a similar product can be the Orzly tempered glass,same thickness (0.3 mm).
The problem is that sellers are from China, and that means looong delivery time (for Europe, al least 1 month or two)

As far as experience tells, no orders I've done from China (and I purchased a lot) have been shipped in less than a month... At least, here in Italy. (I live in Milan).
I just bought the Orzly alternative... my guess is these glass screen protectors are more or less equivalent.
I'm scared however as I think the problems we all read about the Spigen product could also be noticeable on these glass protections.
Let me explain that: it's for sure a Spigen's fault, as probably these protectors have been cut on the basis of a CAD/CAM project, before getting in touch with the phone itself. No one could imagine that Nexus 5 front glass could present a slight irregularity before getting the phone in hand.
I wonder then if:
- Nillkin
- Orzly
- (who's next?)
products will overcome the problem.
It's all in the adhesive component, but I doubt they'll use a better silicon than Spigen.
However, for a bit more that 10 EUR including shipping in 3/4 businness days... it's quite worth it

No ePacket option for italians ... and the fastest shipping method costs more than three protectors

here's a full product page, translated into english: http://nillkin.com/english/proshow.asp?mid=2&sid=0&tid=0&cid=1&scid=13&id=3702&page=1
they sure did put together quite a few promotional images, hah. it's too bad most of the text on the images isn't translated to english as well.
anyway, thanks for the heads up on the protector, OP. gonna subscribe to this thread and wait to hear how it performs.

Mime looks to be making one as well but I don't think it's ready yet either. I have one in my HTC One and it had been the best thing I've ever bought for any phone I've owned.

Just ordered with the ePacket option. Looking forward to seeing how it holds up. N5 gets delivered in 9 hours or less . A case I picked up a day or two later, then this maybe next week. I'll leave a review when I get it and I'll get back to you on whether or not it fits with the case I got... Forget which one, I'll check Amazon later.

Just bit the bullet on one from ali, 14 bucks for a 9h tempered and beveled screen protector is a steal!

Netimes have them also. :good:

Any feedback?

Bought 1 from Aliexpress.com too.
And now they're on Amazon but still ship from China. It normally takes about 21 days to receive so for those people who want feedback you can check back here around December 5th.

Just got mine in, as well as the Nillkin frosted case. Both are AWESOME!
It does show fingerprints, but the glass feels great, fits perfectly, and it was only $14 compared to other more expensive, mostly defective options.

expensive, but i've heard good things about them.

I just finished fiiting mine up, I'm extremely happy with it. Looks great and feels even better. The only thing I didn't like is that the small film for the camera lens is plastic and not glass like the front, but you do get 4 of them in case you screw up.

Thought I'd start up a post of cases and accessories from a brand called Orzly. They seem to already have cases and accessories in stock. I've got links, pics and videos.

If I or anyone else can find more accessories, please add them to this thread.
Thanks,

The gel case and screen protector look great! If I decide to use my invite to buy the phone today or tomorrow I'll likely pick both of those up as well.

Has anyone bought this yet? My primary conscern is that I'm stuck here in the US....

I am in the US and i ordered it just fine. It did have an estimated shipping of between 1 and 2 weeks and it didn't come with a tracking number, but it was still free shipping. Didn't seem to be a problem for me as long as you can plan ahead a bit.

Except now that one plus has encountered MORE delays (truly unbelievable with how few devices they are shipping out right now) it looks like I'll have my screen cover from the UK before I have the phone lol

So got this screen protector in the mail.... took about 5 business days to get to utah, WHICH as it turns out is faster than One plus was able to get me my phone... ya i have a phone protector from the uk shipping standard a day before i get my phone shipped from california, both ordered on the same day.
Screen protector feels great, i'll be able to actually install it and see how it fits today. BUT after seeing the packaging i realized i've ordered from these guys before. I bought a tempered glass screen protector for my wifes nexus 5, it is WONDERFUL. aside from having the same smooth feel the glass underneath has (compared to the sticky plastic polymer that i'm used to with zagg and those guys).
My absolute favorite feature of the tempered screen protectors is the slight radius/round they put on all the edges. Simply WONDERFUL, because android makes use of a lot of its edges and it just pains me to get caught up on a sharp edge.

Orzly make a great glass screen protector for the Moto G. I smashed one (saved the screen, but its almost invisible and has lovely rounded edges

Anyone have pics of their One+ One with a tempered glass screen protector. I'm trying to have all of my accessories ready so that I can start using the phone right away -- once I receive it.

Where did you order it?

Just ordered the glass and the softcase for the OPO. Any one got any reviews on these?

Hi,
The glass install went smooth and easy. I use the scotch tape method.
Line up the protector on the screen first, then use 2 pieces of tape on the right side
of phone to hold in place. Then lift the left side and remove the bottom cover and then just flip back slowly
over the screen. I think I had 2 bubbles near the edge which came out easily.

Great idea with the tape
How do you rate the protector, do you think it would withstand the keys and scissors that you see in the videos?
Are you using a case at all?
Could do with something for the rear camera lens as these always seem to get scratched.

Case recommendations?

Can anybody recommend a case for the S2? Most makers will make the same case for the 8.0 and 9.7" so we can keep them all here.
The official tablet cases don't look too easy to hold.

Have you tried it, I think its good.

I think the official book cover is good. It's nice and slim :laugh:

I went with a Ledo case because I don't like traditional cases adding additional bulk. It's made for an iPad mini but it fits my 710 perfectly!

As much as I like to save, I do notice quality differences between those cheapy ones and the slightly more expensive so called brand name ones. Smudges and fingerprints for example, wipes off easily from my Skinomi on the note 5 whereas the cheap $1.99 ones from ebay not so much.

I got a few direct from china with curved edges at approximate USD 1.9 each.
As much as I like to save, I do notice quality differences between those cheapy ones and the slightly more expensive so called brand name ones. Smudges and fingerprints for example, wipes off easily from my Skinomi on the note 5 whereas the cheap $1.99 ones from ebay not so much.

I've tried many glass protectors, the only ones I call quality are those made from Korea, but those cheap one from china will do for me, used them for many years, not a single problem, I'm very careful with my stuff, used them to protect from scratches:fingers-crossed:.

Official Book Cover for Tab S2
Hey guys, I just bought the Official Book Cover for the Galaxy Tab S2 9.7" version. I'll drop a review video this time next week. Got the black and the gold for my wife. Until then here are some pics. BTW...It's a pretty awesome case!

I got the roocase and I love the vertical stand. I also have the skinomi glass screen protector.

I ordered this one and it looks nice, but the tablet has to be perfectly even or it closes shut. It is also very awkward to open, do not recommend.

Well these came in today. Both were cheap and both fit and function perfectly.

ProCase A fantastic, sturdy, durable folio case for only usd $10. 10 freakin dollars. Seriously is the best $10 I've ever spent.
Paired it with this tempered glass: OMOTON® Tempered-Glass Protector

Anyone who is thinking of the Fosmon TPU and regular clear screen protectors from amazon I just got them. The screen protectors are fine. The case is a very tight fit. Too tight actually that the bottom lip gets pulled back from the surface of the screen.

Here are some pictures of the roocase, so many different ways to rest the tablet, vertical or horizontal. The tablet also has the skinomi glass screen protector.

See for me I mainly read laying down in bed on my back. It's the only time I use the tablet and it's just for may e a half hour a day. Like now just before bed.
Anyway, coming from the nexus 7 this tablet I'd very hard to hold like this. Very hard to type on though SwiftKey split keyboard helps. It's also really hard to hold above you in suspended form.
The official case while nice doesn't seem to offer much grip. It can make the tablet wider but that's not going to be easy to hold.
I tend to not like cheap cases because with my experience they smell terrible. I have a case for my nexus 7 from Omatom or whatever and it still stinks a year later.
I think a case with a hand strap is probably best for me. What do you guys think?

Hi, I got an origami type case/cover from eBay. It really is good as it folds to hold the tablet vertical or horizontal on a table.

Man are you sure if the screen protector will cover the full screen of the sides won't be included? When will you get it?

I don't know, ask them... I will probably get it mid December

$45 for a case and screen protector? WTF!!!

Had my Rhinoshield case & screen proctector for about a week the case feels like quality.
The screen protectors are great it's my 3rd. I've never had broken screen not once on my Z3C. I unfortunately dropped that heaps of times no damage.
I can tell you it doesn't cover the curves of the screen just the flat but then I don't know if their is a SP made by anyone the also curves around screen sides.

I bought a PlayProof case and really really fine...

i also bought the bundle from rhinoshield and it looks great and feels like high quality. SP doesn't cover the round edges, but I'm ok with that

RhinoShield sent me a Playproof case which hasn't got a hole top of phone. But they accepted their mistake and will send a new one...

I have this one friday:

Received forest blue. Took a while.
The feel of the case is sublime.
Ever so slightly bulkier then the skinny orzly.
However this playproof proves for far better protection for sure.
And seriously feels complete and bonafide.
Also the tactile 3D buttons for the camera and volume rocker are defined and effective, possibly even easier to use than the naked device tbh.
Ergonomics adhere to the design and doesn't take to much away from the phones appealing asthetics.
Cutouts and finishing of the overall product is high grade.
Really like this case.
Worth the wait!

Here is my Rhinoshield Playproof Case Customized

I bought the same one the day I got my XZ.
Sadly I had to remove this (rather expensive glass) after a week, because after cleaning my XZ with water I ended up having water underneath the tempered glass.
My brother placed it for me because I kinda have shaky hands lol so I don't dare to do it myself.
Not sure if he did something wrong in the applying process of this glass, but it fit perfectly and looked fine, too bad about the water underneath after a week.
I'm looking for something different and less expensive now lol. Going to visit some phone shops here in the city this afternoon.
The RhinoShield case + SP combo is something I might try out later too
Sent from my Sony Xperia XZ using XDA Labs

I've ordered the Rhinoshield Playproof case and tempered glass combi aswell.
I will probably get it next week.
Hope this glass protector will suit me.
I've tried Panzer Glass and Roxfit screen protectors but both didn't work well for me.
I hope the screenprotector from RhinoShield will be better.
Otherwise ill probably be forced to go back to Panzer Glass, since thats the only one i've tried that covered the whole screen.
Edit: Just came across this video from Orzly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzbMi2fhdes
This one seems very nice to me aswell and seems to fully cover the screen... so if the RhinoShield turns out to be dissapointing, Orzly will be next on my list to try

It looks like a nice product.
The fingerprint scanner and the notch opened for the power button have been very clever.

Has anyone had problems with the Playproof case, it looks like mine is separating at the corners. I've sent pictures off to Rhinoshield and am hoping they warranty it. I'll post up some pictures shortly.
Overall though it's been a good slim case, and has done its job.

My case is doing the same thing at all four corners, but I haven't contacted them about it.

I can also attest to the case being able to survive a 3+m drop, I managed to accidentally drop it from 4+m and not a thing wrong with the phone.
It also has the Rhinoshield screen protector as well but I've already had it replaced once it lifts to easily at the edges and corners.

I never did post pictures, but did contact Rhinoshield, I have a new case coming, I had to pay for shipping. The customer service is great!
