[Q] Diztronic case and mercury screen protector

I was wondering if anyone tried the combination of the diztronic case and a mercury screen protector. The new mercury SP's doesnt cover the entire front anymore (see picture) and was hoping the rest of the front would be covered by the diztronic case.

I have the SP and matte case diztronic, and it shows a little bit of the S3 front screen when the case is on. its unnoticeable though. I have a blue Galaxy S3 and black case, black SP.

That actually looks really nice. I really like that the screen protector covers the Samsung logo, but hate that it adds the Mercury logo to the front of the phone. I would love to have an all black S3 with no logos but, alas, I've yet to find a way to do that.

try bullkin. I think there's a thread somewhere here with a direct link to buy from china.
the only drawback is that the menu/back key barely lets the light through.
EDIT: since it ships from china, it will take a while, but i have the red one and it covers up nearly everything save a tiny sliver on one or the other side.

do you have a case on the s3 or just the sp? because i really want the diztronic case and trying to figure out which SP would be best to pair with it

I didnt order the bullkin one. I kind of prefer the mercury because its anti glare. lol.
Btw, my phones back cover has a xtremeguard back protector and when its not there, the case wraps much better on the phone and doest show the original screen of the phone

thanks a bunch. That was the one I was looking for (but in red) I know ebay has some for sale and I remembered someone here said they're buying one so i'm waiting to hear their response in regards to "lift" for the bumper.
the only thing that bothers me about that case is that it's a cutout of the buttons rather than a cover.. but that's why i'm thinking of taking apart my other case to modify to do so. I'll see if I can post results if it's successful.
EDIT: i'm specifically looking at this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/370637881792?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

this one is red.... im thinking about try it because i have the same one but the slider version and not the screw.
Let me know if it works well with the bullkin SP.
also i like the cutouts.... cases with a cover over the buttons tend to be too sensitive or impossible to press the buttons

sounds good. when i get to modding mine. i'll post a review of some sort.

oh god. that case, i have a black one of that. One of the screws goes through the hole, but this is because of the case being defective. But the piece where the screw rests, gets. The case looks good though, but the buttons are too deep in the case. You wont be able to press them with ease. Maybe when youre done modding ill try the case again.

I'll report back with pictures and a summary of what I did. I'm just waiting to hear back from the other member who was buying from the same seller.
btw, since you said you have that case, when you place the phone on its back, does the camera lens still touch the surface it's laying on or does it give abit of space?

Best minimalistic case with protection

Hey guys as the title says I am looking for either a good clear case or the covers that you can still see this beautiful phone. Good protection I'd also important. Any ideas?

The material is very soft though, and as its a very tight fit, the last corners to get pushed onto the phone start to deform so I had to wrap a small cleaniong cloth anouth the bottom of the phone, the start putting the case on and then pulled out the cloth to force the case onto the phone without damaging the case. If that makes sense. Here some more pics...

Which color did you take the gray or white?

I suggest the poetic atmosphere, I think it's great :good: I don't like cases, but when I don't have a case on my phones they find their way onto the floor pretty often - so I was looking for a minimal one too. (Only dropped the phone once with it on - on tile - still perfect :good

Well damn, looks like I payed almost double for the same stuff... and also got a screen protector which isn't applied yet... not sure if it ever will be.
Here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/281102834962 (clear matte)
It really is thin and almost invisible. Feels good, very different from TPU or silicon cases, it's not rubbery.Small bumps above screen can be useful, only lower side is not protected that much.
There are some small imperfections, but overall, I like it. Got it in only 7 days which is almost unheard of here, so thumbs up for this seller.

I bought a few cheap ones to try, like this one:
http://dx.com/p/protective-plastic-case-for-htc-one-black-202951
Very nice fit and feel, also soft touch. Mine broke though, there is a very small piece around the volume rockers, that broke.
So I ordered 3 new ones :laugh:

Yeah from past experience I find the carbon skins a little slippery compared to the true colour ones. Bought both red and orange for my OPO.

You sure that even with the back being textured its not going to translate the texture of the skin to the same as the back of the phone?

Don't bother with the sanstone cover. The textured surface will make it a very bad adhesion surface for the skin.
What I did with mine was to order the Obsidian Black cover and then apply the skin to that.
It was quite an expensive investment ($50 CAD total) for just an asthetic enhancement but I think the end product looks very nice.

Does this skin comes with side protection? Or its only back?

This is what i made for myself... i Live in INDIA
Dbrand say "No thanks to india"
So i made one myself..... got a Vinyl Wrap and Actually made this...it fits quite nicely and i use it without a Case as i don't worry about damaging the back now!
Plus its Laminated in the Front so screen is protected as well!

P.s. The Skin is Manually Cut using a Blade... So its manually cut .... not 100% perfect as such

Has anyone tried putting one on there bamboo cover ? I'm not considering it but I'm just curious how the adheasive treats the wood.

Yeah fair point but I'm thinking nothing could beat the protection of a flip case.. An otterbox has the fatal flaw of not protecting the screen.. Undeniably the most important part.

Does the stainless steel scratch easily?

i contemplating getting the huawei with steel link band(i dont like the look of the mesh band).
i was wondering how easily does the watch and steel link pick up scratches?
it would drive me crazy if it scratches easily.
Thanks

I have the black stainless steel both watch and band. Have been wearing the watch for almost couple months. I think it's holding up ok. Now that you asked, I took a close look at the band and I don't see anything that makes me go, WTH? So, in my book, that's a big pass

thanks for the reply
glad to hear it holds up.
now to decide between the black/black band or stainless w/ metal band.

It does. It stings for a minute. But what do you expect from stainless steel? The watch still shines obviously. But when you have a good eye site and pays attention to detail, why yes you can definitely tell. I'm not going to trip though if it gets really bad to the point it's not shiny then it's as simple as using something to take away the scratches and it'll go back to NEW. Unlike black, ones that scratches there goes the paint

I bet they could be buffed out by a local Jeweler.

By polishing. This steel is really delicate.

Indeed!
So far with my aftermarket band and stainless steal body I still do not have even micro scratches. Not that I am hoping for them but I did hit the bezel against some materials hard than I would have liked and there is no evidence of scratching.

I got the stailess steel one and its all scratched on the upper side . I gave up feeling bad about that, just accepted the fact that it gets scratched, still shiny but I can see the scratches.

It's stainless steel.. If you take it to a jeweler they can polish it and get most of the scratches out. I have a stainless steel Rolex and get it serviced every few years. It always goes in scratched to hell and comes back to me looking brand new pretty much.
