Hey guys ,
Just shot this video on a pretty cool case. The only problem with this case for me is the colors. No matte, or no cases without the little sparkles on it, however still a pretty solid case
pd.- sorry for the bubbles on my screen! I just installed it lol
Enjoy!

Great review Raul. I had one of these a few weeks ago and they are beautiful, but it's on it's way back for a refund. It just wasn't quite sturdy enough and doesn't hug the device the way I like it.

I bought the 5 tpu ones for $12 just got to wait for shipping from China. I figure for 12 bucks I would give them a try but I think they look good
Subscribed. Let us know when they arrive and throw some pictures up.
Interesting the Aluminum case and TPU alike look rather well on the device! BUT I have never used a bumper, only TPU cases; so does anyone know if this would supply sufficient protection from drop damage? I imagine the Aluminum would make the phone more susceptible to cracked screens from a drop but IDK. Thanks and subbed.
Very interesting.. going to purchase a set as well of the TPU ones and see how that is. I'm still loving the Diztronic, but it's starting to lift up my screen protector in two of the corners and it's becoming slightly annoying having to lift up the lip of the case and push the protector back down.

Probably just as well as the TPU ones.. And the TPU ones wont scratch your case up.. that's what I would be worried about with the Aluminum one.

The problem is that I have honestly never used a bumper. I had a TPU case for my
S2 but I never dropped it *knocks on wood* so idk how well bumpers protect from fall damage.

I would think it would provide as must fall protection as a Tpu case of equal thickness and I know for the 3 weeks I had an iPhone the bumper on it seemed to work well

Yes, its that kind. Although these seem to be at least decent to high quality judging by the posts in the original thread I linked to.
Ordered two screen protectors today and they have both shipped already.

I ordered on the 18th and still isn't here(US).
Just fitted my protector, it feels rubbery and it drags your finger as you move it across the screen, i have only just fitted it, so i don't know if this will improve once it dry`s out but at the moment i think i will removing it.

Did you get the full-body or just the screen? I got the full-body, but only plan on putting on the back.... I absolutely hate that feeling on a touchscreen.
Quite a few on here have been using these for a few months....More user views.....
I only got the screen protector, i just took it off, it felt really horrible to move my finger around the screen, i have a strong flip case so hopefully my screen will be protected from scratches anyway.
You experience of the protector might be different to mine, give it a go.

I suppose you are less likely to drop your H1 with the back being more grippy, it`s maybe an advantage.

thanks for the deal! definitely jumped on this.
i love the naked feel of my phone i just hate scratch it up like scratchgate with iphone 5.
plus my incipio aluminum back that isnt supposed to block radio signals, definitely does.
I have recently purchased a ultimate shield glass screen protector that is case friendly from eBay for £10.99
The first 1 I was sent fitted perfect but would not stick to my phone so the company sent me another.
The second 1 stuck well but let dirt through the sides.
So they asked me to wait another week to try a upgraded version so I did and that arrived today. Although the sides are now black (previously clear) which fixed the dirt entering the side of the phone but none the top edges stick at all and there is far to much space between the phone screen and the glass so there's a clicking noise all the time when in use.
So I of course contacted the company again as I payed £10.99 and still my phone is not protected so I do expect a refund regardless to there help sending more out as they are not fit for purpose, I am thankful for them trying.
So the last conversation I had with them regarding a refund was they have yet another version of the protector they are sending out to me today to try so I shell receive that tomorrow hopefully and if it fits well I will upload pictures ect..
The bottom line is atm the ultimate shields glass screen protectors do not yet work for our devices so you may won't to keep clear for now if you have thought about buying 1.
Any updates please?

New 1 just arrived. I will be installing shortly. This 1 is described very different as a 3d silk printed / black
Just fitted this screen protector and it is the best I've had to date. It fits perfect! There is deffienetly no space between the glass. It fits perfect around the phone. The glue is much stronger than any previous protectors. The curve seems more of a curve than previous but I still am able to use my cafele case without any uplifting.
I'm extremely happy with this protector and deffienetly worth the £10.99!
I'm not sure what cases this will work with as I only have 2 slim cases and originally it's advertised as a case friendly protector so it should fit a variety of cases as there is a gap at the top and rear for the case bumber access. I will try and upload a picture of it fitted later today when I have access to a camera.
Ultimate shields seem to be a good company and will help you with any issues. I would recommend buying this version and if you was to go ahead and buy this model I would message them first and tell them you want the new version vimto25 from xda was sent in case you receive old stock.
Is it "Case Friendly" ?

I think it's a 50/50 situation. The first few I had of them was classed as case friendly and I believe they was very case friendly but as I stated they had issues.
This new 1 looks slightly less case friendly but I have a case on it and it fits to a T so I think it needs testing with different cases that I do not have. It has gaps around the top and bottom and the sides for a case to fit with a open top which I prefere.
I've just received a message from the seller after giving them my feedback. They have said it's not yet in production I am the first to of tried this. But they assured me if you message them with my xda username you will be send this new design of there's.
I hope someone with a few cases purchases this and gives there feedback on what cases fit and what cases don't.
Ordered one today and they are send me a development unit, thank you!
Just need to get the phone now....

Do you have any cases?
Well you've done it the right way a protector should always be brought before the phone arrives in my opinion ?
I have ordered the Nillkin Frosted Shield case based on the positive reviews in the other thread. Phone arrives tomorrow, and screen protector is shipping today so hopefully...... I always like to fit the screen protector straight away while the phone is new.

Wish I would have read this post first. I bought that Stomob case. It does look good with the translucent cover but within 6 hours of putting it on I had 3 large scratches across the screen of my brand new OP7 Pro. The hard plastic cover (it isn't glass - likely polycarbonate) grinds into your screen. I'm super bummed and will see if Stomob stands behind their product at all that they claim ensures screen protection.
I've used clamshell cases on other phones for years without ever getting a scratch - this case causes scratches - avoid at all costs.

Yeah totally agree. This case rocks and at half the cost. I looked at a few other cases similar to this stomob one but was concerned about the effects, if any, of the magnets on reception. Can't go wrong with a Supcase tho... Got mine off Amazon at under $13.

No. They're the only option for this kind of case. That sucks. Which is why I question the idea of modding other cases in order to have a bumper-only case. RS cases are just not that great, IMO.
