Hey guys just received my matte black diztronic case from amazon! Love it. But like others here have mentioned the zagg HD screen protector doesn't play so nice with this case so I have 2 questions.
1) I am currently using the screen protector that came with the case and the edges don't seem to stay down. And tricks to getting them to lay flat?
2) Do you guys think its necessary to use a screen protector with this case and if so which ones would you guys recommend to use that would fit with this case?
I can post some pics of the case if anyone wants. Have the pebble blue gs3 but I think there's already been quite a few posted.

I don't have my diztronic case yet but maybe you can tuck the screen protector under the case lip?
I would definitely use a screen protector. I've already managed to scratch my screen somehow. Gorilla glass 2 is not scratch proof.

I purchased the Diztronic black matte case with screen protector also. How are your sides not staying down with that screen protector? The included screen protector is a protector that doesn't extend all the way to the edges. I had the same combination on my phone and I had no problems.
I'm now using the Body Glove tpu case with a Reearth screen protector. This combo has been the best so far. Be sure you don't use any wet application screen protectors with a tpu case. They do not play well together and the edges of the screen protector will start to bubble up as the tpu case edges push against the screen protector edges.
Also, most dry application screen protectors for this phone do not extend to the edge of the phone because the edges of the phone curve downward. So if you have a dry application screen protector that extends to the edge, then chances are you will have a problem with the edges staying down as a result of the downward curve of our phone around the edges. There is a company currently manufacturing dry application screen protectors designed to fit the the downward curve of our phones along the edges, however these are currently in pre order.

To be honest I'm not sure why its not staying down. I have bubbles that go to the edge of the screen on the top left and it appears that the whole right edge of the screen protector is not down. Not matter how much I push it down it comes right back up. And I have the protector centered almost perfect on the screen so it shouldn't be because its sloping down because the other side is doing fine so well.
Anyone have any other screen protectors that work with this case? Or even wet ones that don't get close to the edge?

My Clarivue screen protector works fine with the case. It is cut small though, I don't mind it but I know some people do.
I'm thinking about having my phone naked....... well, sort of. What I mean is, I was thinking of adding the SGP Glas for the front. So now the front will be protected. Then I would have a bumper protecting the sides of the phone. For the back I would have an invisible shield, Even if I do happen to drop it I can easily buy the back panel since its cheap. Do you think this would be a smart way of having my phone feel naked and having great having protection?
I just love the naked slim body of the phone. I do have a diztronic case even though the case has very little bulk, its still does not the feel the same.
Looking for some advise
What I would buy to do this is...
SPIGEN SGP Samsung Galaxy S3 Screen Protector

Black bumper
http://www.amazon.com/Plastic-Bumpe...=1347180178&sr=1-10&keywords=galaxy+s3+bumper
Fort he Back of the phone

You don't need to protect the screen at all, gorilla glass is much stronger than your flimsy plastic sheets you put on it. If something can scratch gorilla glass, that "screen protector" will not stop it at all. A weaker object can't protect a stronger object.
What you need to protect is the phone's back. I use my phones naked always. I've never had much problem. However with SGS3, my phone's back is covered with scratches. I don't remeber having any other phone with a backplate this vulnerable.

Nah Gorilla glass can be scratched.
I'm sure if I did this to gorilla glass without a screen protector.... it would be destroyed.

I'm also using SGP glas on my S3, but I use with Samsung's slim case. This thing add literally no thickness at all! And it protects back and the camera. I thought about using SGP ultra bumper case but I'm worried about camera lens since it doesn't provide any kind of protection around.

It's the closet you can to naked feeling! I love it, they come in breeze & diamond pattern. I personally like the diamond, it gives me more grip. Definitely give it a try!

should be in accessories thread
Does using a screen protector take away the essence of the S3's beautiful screen? I am very careful about keeping my phone away from coins, keys, etc. and am confident about not getting the screen scratched; my only concern is the finger oil marks that are left on the screen.
Will a screen protector resolve this issue?
I am confused.
Why not using a pouch like this one? http://mobil.idealo.de/preisvergleich/OffersOfProduct/3276708_-slimcase-leather-xl-bugatti.html
Using a similar case since I have my s3 (bought it at launch) and haven't got a single scratch yet and still have the pure device when I interact with it.

because if I dropped it when its out of the punch im screwed.
Be careful with samsung ultra slim in 0.3mm
I got them ( there are 2 differents in package) and both suffer hot temperatures! I have no photo atm but i can clearly say that they deform themeselves if exposed at some high temperature(for example when you play game or any sort of thing that increase battery temperature)
they are curved now and dont fit well..
So i gone with the tpu ,always samsung offcial, and all is awesome (but you lose the naked but protected feel xD)
When i read naked i thought you meant to take the motherboard out and put it in a transparent case/shell to show the insides....
Why not try a Zagg invisible shield. I'vehad one on my SGS since the beginning and also on my GTab. It'll be the first thing I get on my next mobile upgrade. You can get maximum protection (front, back, sides) or just front protection.

Why bother with a $15 skin for the back when you can buy a brand new replacement battery door for $7?

it wouldnt
there are plenty of videos of people scraping keys,knives, and other sharp objects across the screen with no effect, even sandpaper which resulted in very faint scratches
my phone has flip case... and the screen's scratched to ****. If gorilla glass is scratchproof then i'm the king of mars
So then, is a screen protector absolutely essential? I'd rather have the screen naked, then use a screen protector.
I have, however, got a pretty nice body for the phone that covers and protects the back well.
Any one using Spigen slim armour and Nilkin glass screen protector? are they compatible? because of the bump in the front of the case i think the glass screen protector will be pushed from the two sides leading to breakage or something ?
The nilkin glass screen protector is very good quality and was a pleasure to use... But when I received my dot view cover, i realised that i need to remove it bcoz it was thick.... If u dont plan to use any flip case, go for it...
Thanks

HTC One M8 Accessories There are some threads in there that discuss many great options and combinations. Might want to check it out, even if you're already set on your combo...
I have the Spigen slim armor and the Spigen glass nano, yes there's a bump but it doesn't cover much if any of the screen on both sides

Just wondering if anyone has removed the built in screen protector? I bought it today and it looks like the usual junk they use. I am supposed to get my phone tomorrow so how does it work with it?
I always remove the BI Screen Protector...hate it !! I just use a tempered glass instead but love the protection from the case itself
Not sure why #otterbox is only restraining to releasing a Defender series case for this phone. Would love to go for a commuter series.

I am using a defender, popped out the screen protector cleaned up the residual glue that held it on and applied a tempered screen protector to the phone.
I do have issues with the edges peeling up the screen protector, so I filed the sharp lip of the case back a tiny bit so when it flexes it goes over the screen protector instead of lifting it up.
All is good, phone is massive and I don't think I will by physically breaking this phone anytime soon with it.
I currently have the Otterbox Defender case for this phone, and use it with the plastic screen protector removed, and have tried several different glass protectors with it. Inevitably the glass hits the inside edge and starts to peel up after a month or so.
Anyone have ideas of maybe a Defender-like case that goes ok with the glass protectors?
Thx in advance for any suggestions.....

Recently I bought a Dot View Ice Premium case and I understand it's not what you are looking for but I advice you to try it. Really comfortable in daily use and I like those things like answering call with swipe etc very much. Not kind of what you are looking for but it's very nice case.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Genuine-...-Flip-Case-Cover-for-HTC-One-M9-/151633558589 Why not this? I have and with ice view apk works fine.
Love Mei Case or the official HTC Active Pro Case.
