Spingen ultra hybrid - Nexus 5 Accessories

I finally got mine today ,
I notice on the reviews , a lot of people dislike it because it had a lot of scratches. Well mine did to. Except it was a thin really hard to get film in the inside. So after multiple tries I was finally able to take it off and it still looked scratched. The wife has better nails that me , I asked her to see it there's a film on the outside . she tried for a while and finally she said well I'm going to scratch the crap out of it but I don't think it has one. Finally she was able to lift the corner up. So there is protecting film in the inside as well as the out side of the case. Just giving a heads up to all the people complaining about the cases being really scratch.
Hope this helps

Holy Crap Awesome Trick (with SGP Screen Protector)

So, I ordered the SGP Ultra Olephobic and it was my first screen protector install ever. I put it on and I messed up...the first time. So I threw away that one and got a new one right? I tried putting that one on more carefully, but alas it didn't work. Then a friend told me that I should try a wet install of them. I tried it out an voila wet install sticks great with the same properties as the dry install, except MUCH MUCH easier. Now, I am a perfectionist and I will admit that my install was not perfect and I will probably do it again, but the fact that the wet install worked was awesome. So just wanted to share that. Any thoughts?
That's what the instructions recommend..... Im confused

Try phantomskinz. You get 2 for 1 when you order online, for $10..
I'm confused about your post though. Most of the screen protectors I've used were wet.
great story....YAWN..........
Admittedly Apple users get some cool accessories but then again it's easy for manufacturers to focus on products for just one phone.
Anyhow, I wouldn't mind a case with a built in screen protector but looking at the vid below that thing gives off some major glare:
The point is that out isa dry screen protector and it went on better wet

Even the cheap ones go on better wet. Some of the nice ones actually come with fluid. Im sorry the reason i was confused is because i thought that was common knowledge

I've always put on my screen protectors, invisible shield/ghost armor/bestskinsever with a little water mixed with a touch of dish soap. if you don't get the placement perfect, it makes it easy to reapply.
I have absolutely no idea what you guys are talking about.
Does the water and soap dry pretty fast?

Don't lather it up lol it'll look blurry for a little bit. Also don't put it in stress... Like a tight pocket or anything immediately afterwards. I've always just done it at night. Throw it on the charger and when you wake up its good to go!

Yes, but Zagg has the "Orange Peel" effect which looks kinda bad on the phone when looking from an angle
Not sure if I am the only person but I like the dry screen protectors more. I am not sure what brand I have. All I know is it is a lot clearer than any wet one I have ever used. And it isn't tacky either. I have had it 2 months and I still have no noticeable scratches. I will find out the brand and post it.

Why do people use screen protectors? These screens don't get scratches. Not unless you walk around with diamonds in your pocket.

Same here found them on Ebay. 8 pieces for 3.00$. I'm still on my first one. I will also try and post some info.
If I were to utilize the wet application then I'd use distilled water alone. Tap and even bottled water contains too many minerals with the possibility of leaving behind hard water spots.

Wet applications are easier to apply but done right, both wet & dry turn out equally as good.

Will Screen Protector cover up some scratches

Hi all,
Pretty sad at the moment, just found 2 scratches on my s3(one vertically around the middle, and one horizontally around the bottom) that are pretty noticeable in daylight.
In the dark it is minor but still there. It sucks because I cant remember any instance where I could have gotten a scratch and I've had the phone for only 5 days. Do you think a screen protector will help hide these scratches in any way? I'm not totally destructed over this I just came to realization that this screen is not as durable as I initially thought it was. I just really need to protect over these next 2 years until my contract is up. I ordered a armor suit for the phone btw.
Also, if any suggestions please feel free to throw them my way
Thanks for any comments or help!
Invisishield will do the job and hide most scratches. Everyone phone I get the first stop I make is at the mall to get an Invisishield put on it. They are guaranteed for life of phone.

Yes screen protector should hide the scratches. Mine has a couple but you can't see them with the protector. I have a stealth shieldz

I hate that manufacturers calls gorilla glass scratch resistant. My S3 & S2 had scratches on them.

from my personal experience the hard plastic covers dont do such a great job
i bought an iphone iwth a ghost armor protector over the entire phone after i bought i i get a iphone 4 case for it when it was an iphone 4s a bit bigger and it peeled off the plastic "armor" and to my surprise there was a **** load of scratches i got ripped but i learned ghost armor does a hell of a job hiding scratches
if you dont want the entire phone done get the invisishild ones they do a great job as well.

I feel you on that one. I still don't know where my scratches came from haha. I wish I would have taken a bit more precaution but I thought the glass would be a bit more reliable considering everyday use. Anywho, the S3 is a great device and have no gripes about it!
Hopefully the screen protector I bought off amazon will cover up the scratches for the most part, if it does that I will be more than satisfied.

I have had mine for a week and have two long scratches on the screen. I have no idea where they would come from, I never have anything else in my pocket with it.
Any way REALOOK makes amazing screen protectors. you cant even tell its on there and has the same feel as the glass. I am ordering mine today

[POLL] Galaxy Nexus Wear and Tear Poll!

Hey all,
If you know me from the Thunderbolt subforums, you know about my polls! I think it's fascinating to survey other people about their Android devices, and today is no different.
I use an Incipio Silicrylic case with my new Galaxy Nexus, however it feels so much better, lighter, dare I say awesomer naked.
So have at the poll, folks!
Come on, I'm ready!! Lol

Thanks for making the poll, I also love to see surveys on how others are fairing with their Nexus's. For me I have one tiny little scratch on the bezel right above the screen. Though to see it you have to catch it in just the right light with the phone at a certain angle so it doesn't bother me at all. Got it after I decided to take off my screen protector and switch to a thin case (Cruzerlite's Androidified TPU) since the new Nexus is coming out soon. And I figured if I do somehow get a deep enough scratch to bother me I can always just fill it in with on XO Skin =)
I've dropped my phone a few times, it just bounces and all is well.
Phone is unblemished except a few scratches on the screen protector.

Not a mark anywhere on my all naked 10 month old GN!
Naked but put on my Incipio case (rubber and plastic combo) for work. I had a screen protector for a while, but I can't handle it even if there's one dust particle under the protector. One or two minor scratches, but only seen at weird angles. I honestly didn't expect this thing to be so tough. Haha!

I'm pretty darn strict when it comes taking care of my devices. Mostly due to the fact that I won't have the money to get another one. In general, I just like to take care of the things that I have. That said, my Nexus is used (no case) and thus has a couple teeny tiny crumb size knicks on the bottom left and right.9.9/10. Can't see them unless the phone is up to your face. Screen is flawless. As for dropping it, only once I BELIEVE, but it was on the carpet.
×*Don't Stress Too Much Over Android. Just Get A Device That You Like & Make Sure That It Has Good Development*×
Mine has done fine mostly naked except screen protector. Only damage occurred from a violent drop on concrete...or well, not so much a drop as a collapse of the pile of boxes I had the phone placed on top of, throwing it onto concrete....so yeah, there's a scuffed corner or two.
I just bumped it so people would see it, it went to page 2, but replies are welcome too!
You guys can see poll results, right? Looks like scratches on the screen are almost as common as no scratches on the screen.... It's not Gorilla Glass, right? Some reinforced alternative?
I have a hairline scratch on the screen only visible when the screen is off and at a certain angle. Still irks me at times though
Top left part of the screen is pushed in a bit, by about a millimeter... came like that :/ otherwise perfect
With all the reports of scratching, I'm starting to think a case isn't necessary.
As far as I'm concerned, a case isn't worth it if the phone is damaged, I would never bother with a case on a used phone.

You're talking about the TPU case on Amazon with the Android on the back that comes in like 6 different colors? How is it? I hear it has a wrist strap loop on like the upper right hand corner (bad spot, no?), but it looks like the thread or whatever would be crammed between the case and the GalNex...
Interesting results, folks... Bumping this for everyone's benefit (arguably everyone's benefit...).
Mine has a couple of nicks on the lower left corner. They look like a cat tried to bite into it (which is probably what happened) because I've only had this phone for 3-4 weeks and haven't dropped it.
Mine isn't even dirty(only had it for 5 months though)

Galaxy S4 screen and bezel scratch very easily.

Don't know if anyone else is notice this but I have been super careful with my brand new galaxy s4 and somehow there is a pretty nice scratch on my display and a part of the bottom of my bezel is chipped I don't know how this happened I've been checking my pockets for any dirt or sand and I've been very very careful has anyone else noticed this? Like the bezel just chipped out if nowhere. It's really weird. Just wondering if this is happening to anyone else. I still love this phone beyond belief!

I'm on my second S4. The first one the bezel cracked above the earpiece. Actually it was the chrome plate that cracked. Within less than 48 hours of having my replacement, the chrome is wearing off on the top left corner. I'm f*cking pissed. Not pissed enough to make my phone look like a turd with some bulky case though. And definitely not pissed enough to buy a htc lol. I contacted Samsung and t-mobile and they are both giving me the runaround. I baby my devices. Here's another thread with somebody with a similar issue. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41472121&postcount=1
Same, just got a chip on the bezel today. I had similar issues with the GS3, but there's not a whole lot you can do if you don't like to use cases like me, since the frame is just metallic-looking plastic.
Stupid Damn fake chrome. I only paid 600 bucks for this phone. Why can't I have real shinnyness.

True that. I always laugh when I watch the video of people scratching their Gorilla Glass with a key. What a joke. :laugh:Try a piece of sand............
Ive gone naked except for battery door swap for awhile. I dropped my phone twice and bezel nor screen have scratches so to me it seems to be more sturdy.

no screen protector and no case.
had the phone for 2 weeks.
just carry in pocket.. sometimes with keys or a pocket knife.. no damage yet.. but i will take causion to not have anything else in the pocket with phone i guess
i had mine for about 2 weeks just carrying my pocket before my ottor box and screen protector came in.
still looks brand newI would carry 2 sets of keys sometimes pocket knife or tools. I would also crawling on the ground under cars. I guess its just hit or miss with quality.
I got a body glove case for mine now. Ive found the phone feels much more sturdy with the extra weight of a case, and having a rubberized case really improves grip on the slippery plastic of the phone.

I ended up with a very small scratch on my screen also, about as long as a dime is wide. but I have no idea how it got there, I always keep my phone in my left pocket and keys in the right with my pocket knife on my right pocket using the pocket clip. this Gorilla glass is good for avoiding deep scratches I think but I thought gorilla glass 3 would prevent minor scratches like what I have. apparently not..

I never understood that. It's like having a supermodel girlfriend and then covering her up with a burka, it defeats the purpose. In 2 years when you upgrade to a new phone this old one will be in perfect condition but you don't really get to "enjoy" it.
I always go naked, who cares if it looks used when its time to upgrade, it just goes in my junk drawer anyway.

You're assuming that the phone looks better "naked" than with a case. You may think that, but others disagree, making the supermodel analogy flawed. 99+% of the enjoyment comes from the screen, not "touching the case", and a screen protector doesn't prevent that enjoyment (like having the supermodel wear a perfectly transparent bikini). A better analogy would be demanding that your supermodel girlfriend go barefoot all the time, even when walking on gravel, hot asphalt, and broken glass, or having her go naked in subzero weather. Hardly a good way to treat her.

after watching N5 DROP TEST, need suggestions for *GOOD* cases

Ref:
youtube (dot) com/watch?v=Wkb5Qe_-0k0
The Nexus 5 is pretty easy to break, I couldn't believe the video.
We need to protect our phones really well and I need suggestions for a decent yet appealing case.
Thanks
Well i ordered two cases when i got mine and they seem pretty good from all the feed back i've seen on here
SPIGEN Google Nexus 5 Case ULTRA HYBRID
and this
SPIGEN Google Nexus 5 Case Slim Armor
But that drop test made me cry i tiny bit
______________________________________________________________
Holy crap i dont think ive ever seen screen breakage this bad
Easy to break? It fairs pretty well in side drops, no? Any glass will break if it directly hits the ground; raised lips helps to prevent this scenario.
A simple TPU case with raised lips should do the job.
Alternatively you can grab some skins to cover the phone to prevent dents, and use glass or anti-shatter screen protectors.

I never expected this, even after the numerous complaints about the nexus 4 being very fragile...
I guess we should add one of those rhino shield or similar screen protectors to our phones ASAP.
Yeah, sorry about the title, the screen protector is more important in this case
Waiting for a lifeproof imitation....
That made me cringe. Glad I have a case.
Sent from the jaws of my Hammerhead!
it survived 3 drops at 5 ft. 2 drops that landed on the same bottom side. glass vs cement will always result in the same way. seeing how everything still functions after the glass being shattered that badly is actually more surprising.
Got my Nexus 5 on Monday, but case wont arrive until next week.
Left it in a drawer and, after this video, thats where it will stay.

I beg to differ. I dropped my S2 with no cover or screen protector so many times on it's face, sides, back and all 4 corners. It fell so bad that the corners actually warped over the glass and are all indented.
Screen... Spotless. Very tiny scratches here and there, but after 2 years I am amazed at the quality of the gorilla glass on that phone.

I'm not sure whether it's the bigger screens or that the newer gorilla glass generations are weaker, but screens are definitely more breakable these days.
In the three years I've had it I've beaten the **** out of my Sensation, but the screen is still flawless.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate at the moment and have dropped it numerous times on its front, side and back... Aside from some scuffs on the case, there's really nothing else wrong with it.
..Which leads me to believe that older android phones probably don't actually use glass as their screens. I think my Cappy's screen is probably plastic. It definitely can't be glass, considering how many times I've dropped it.
Oh no it's definitely glass - trust me on that one
I fumbled it mid air and inadvertently threw it to the ground (carpet) and it popped out a nice glass shard.
It's the raised edges that save it. I dropped it so many times too, but the slightly raised edges take all the force. I'm totally getting a case - just ordered a cheapy on eBay to hold out until I get something that shows off the phone better
i just started a thread for the case i'm gonna get for my n5. if you're paranoid about drops, this is the case for you.
Acase Superleggera PRO
so tough to watch....does anyone know what happens to the phone after he tests them? obviously something like that is just going to get returned or sold. and it would be a shame if he just wasted a N5 on a test like that..
My n5 I've already dropped 3 times from at least 4 foot. First one in the bathroom landed screen down on the tiles. I [email protected] myself. Not a mark
Second time in the kitchen again to tiles landed but I tried to catch with my foot and ended up kicking it on the bounce into the cupboard about 1.5meters away from where I was. Still no scratch
And third time in the garage I was using it as a torch dropped it straight to concrete didn't see what side it landed but haven't got a single scratch on it!
I'm shocked as hell
My ultra hybrid case really needs to be delivered asap the way im going.
