so i'm debating on which to get i heard they are all very good i just never used any one of them so i'm not sure. anybody have an opinion on which is the best hard screen protector?
Handhelditems - Anti-glare
Got a 3-pack with 3 day shipping for $9.
However, if I had to choose...I would go with boxwave
I was actually debating over the box wave and the Steinheil and ended up ordering the Steinheil just because from what i read and peoples reviews it seemed like a premium product for the same basic price as the boxwave one (although.. they are prob the same damn thing... just like Zagg vs others that are made from the same 3m product)...
I ordered the anti-glare and it shipped yesterday.. so will let ya know when it gets here.
currently i have bodyguardz and didnt like the rubbery feel of it... i ordered the steinheil crystal and will post up a review when i receive it
so it looks like everyone is leaning toward the steinheil more then? what i want to know is the cost of the martin field justified?
I just got the Steinheil today and these jackoffs didn't cut any holes in the shield for the front facing camera or light sensors making the shield pretty much worthless
Martin fields ftw!
martin fields is cut perfectly. even has a lens cover. crystal clear on the Evo (and HD2). steinheil was crap. would've loved to have supported a california based company, but they need to iron out the kinks in their screen designs.

Doubt it.. there are only so many manufactures of the material that these things are made of... its prob made from the same material.

its a clear piece of plastic. I havent got mine yet, but i doubt you need a cutout for the camera or light sensor.

Obviously you have never shopped for a real camera. I know the front facing vga is not super high quality, but in the camera world it's all about the glass. If you put anything in front of it, yes especially "clear" plastic, it will affect the quality. The light sensor though will probably be fine, but who knows, it could be enough to make everything brighter and look suckier.
not sure about that; I have a wrapsol ultra package on my evo, which, on the screen side, covers up the camera and light sensor, and, they both work perfectly..I have had lots of video chats, and my image is a clear as a bell, and the light sensor works perfectly

News flash... this is a cell phone... and these are 99.9% optically clear pieces of plastic... if you are trying to shoot the cover of glamour.. you might want to grab your dslr for that... Oh.. and you probably arent taking ANY pics with the 1.3mp in the front which is what this plastic covers up.
And yes, i do know about cameras, lenses and shopping for one.. but.. as i hope you are aware.. this is a cell phone (which was stated above just for clarification)

yeah, I was concerned when I got it that the front camera would be messed up by covering it up, but, that isnt the case....of course the back side has cut outs for the kickstand and the 8mp camera..

I have the Martin Fields and really like it - it's not the same as an Invisible Shield, since it's a rigid plastic not a flexible one. I tried a shield and ended up getting crap underneath - the fields one is washable with mild soap, so even if you get stuff underneath it's easy to deal with.

not happy with handheld.... their protector covers the front cam... and trying to take pics is very blurry
Hi everyone, is there any camera protection available on the internet or someting? My One X is quite damaged because I use a cheap case and it scratches the sides of my phone But when I don't use it anymore my camera will touch all surfaces, so I was curious if there is something to fix that
Thanks so far
Probably not...?

I cut a piece from a generic screen protector and put it on the camera lens, didn't effect quality at all.

That would be great if you do!
I my self is a bit forced to have my phone in a punch, hate scratches and already have one on the lens My screen protector is noisy like noise on a picture, thats why I am a bit skeptical to have a screen protector on the lens.

Just an FYI for those worried about your camera lenses; scratches will not show in pictures or effect picture quality unless they are severe. Micro scratches or even regular scratches are imperceivable unless the camera is using a very narrow aperture. Given that the One X has an F2.0 lens, that just isn't an issue.
Conversely, putting ANYTHING infront of the camera lens is going to have an effect on IQ.

That's what I did (you can also use a hole puncher) and I don't have any quality issues, as a matter of fact I have no scratches on it and had it for a while now.

My case sticks out just a bit further than the camera, so it's when i set the phone down on hard surfaces. This seems like the best protection to me if you worry about image degradation due to a layer of plastic on top of the lens.
I've been thinking about this for some time. I tried to try a bit of generic sbreen cover but it bubbled up. I love the idea of a hole punch though will try that tonight
maybe buy an otterbox defender it protects everything not only the camera
i just love it
you can even throw your phone if u want to or open beer bottles with it no problem :laugh:
greets
I just removed the glass bit when I soldered the wifi connection. I've found this to be a great solution because it also helps to cool the chip that gets hot during gaming. I've had no problems in three months now.
I've been using the official htc case and haven't had any problems. The plastic on the back protrudes a bit further than the lens so it provides plenty of protection against table surfaces etc
That said, even if you do manage to severely damage the lens, it looks like a pretty simple matter to simply swap out the lens and put a new one in. Plenty of places to buy spare parts, and the lenses aren't particularly expensive. Though it would probably be safer to change the entire housing as I don't know how well the adhesive on the inside of the case would work after being removed and replaced.

where to get this sir? any direct link?
[Okay! I just got my cover (1 day before it was supposed to arrive LOL just like it happened with my V20). Anyway. This is my review:
First of all, here is the link to purchase the cover (maybe cheaper in other websites, maybe not):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/26267917850...49&var=561595568110&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Now, lets proceed by telling you what was included:
1x Heavy duty cover (dual layers, 3 pcs); 1x Premium Tempered Glass; 1x Dust absorbant cloth; 1x Cleaning wipe
Finally, Lets get to the review! The good and the bad:
The good: I like the cover. So far i dropped the phone from 3 feets and nothing happened to it. The cover meets Military Grade 810.1-G Compliancy. The first layer feels like a fat layer of clear TPU but it doesnt feel bad at all. The outer layers are made of Polycarbonate to absorb the falls. The TPU layer is enough to absorb the impact but the 2 layers of polycarbonate have 2 purposes to protect, but also to make the phone adjust firmly in the cover. The audio jack and the type c usb port both have dustproof covers so that it doesnt penetrate any dust particles. easily to open and close. With this cover you will be able to use every functionality. Including IR Blaster, and every mic has its big enough hole to let the voice sound as clear as possible. cover doesnt feel bulky, to put it inside your pocket with or without cover, you wouldnt notice the difference (see the picture of the rule and measure your phone with one). it is very light too. Now, the screen protector, im sure it was premium, but i messed up putting it (STUPID DUST PARTICLES FLOATING EVERYWHERE), so now i have to buy a new screen protector lol.
The bad: 1) Your fingerprints will stay on the TPU layer (light fingerprints) but they still there. So,,, if you are into security and no trusting anyone and thinking about someone will do conspiracy against you and will use your fingerprint to unlock the phone, well,,,, it is not for you, unless you paint it with an spray ; 2) possibly another bad side: if you are no accustomed to the volume buttons on the side of the device and have to constantly looking for where exactly to press, then this is not a cover for you, since the buttons totally disappear with it. On the other hand, they are easily to press if you are accustomed to the volume buttons on the side; 3) The cover might slip if the material of the surface were you put it is made of Anodized aluminum or any other material that has been processed or polished.
Funny Fact: Seems that they created the cover missing some information about the phone's physic, since they added a button in the right low side of the cover which has no purpose there LOL!
I havent had any scratch so far (from the fall) yet.
If there is any question, please let me know, and i will try to answer. Or any other comments.
Cheers!
@aknotts415 >> here is what i think about the cover. Pictures are on the first post too
haha..thanks...i was just about to post here and ask if anyone has any thoughts on this case...i'm stuck between this zizo and the poetic...
i dont want to take any chances...I had a Note 7..then replaced it with a recalled version...had a nice spigen tough armor case on it but no screen protector...I accidentally dropped it at work and managed to somehow scratch the screen lightly..i guess it doesnt matter since i'll be replacing it with my LG V20 arriving tomorrow...:good:
**oh, could you post some more pics with the case on...maybe during the daytime with more lighting...so how was the tempered glass protector??? was it actually pretty thick, and any advice on getting it on perfectly???

When i come from college today at 11 am i will posting more pictures from every angle.. Now, about the tempered glass, it is very thick. if it werent for the dust particles in my living room, i would have put it perfectly, Something that i like is that when you put the screen protector, and the put the cover, there is no way any dust will go inside, at least from the front part, since the polycarbonate layer presses the tempered glass, hard enough to no let any dust go inside. So, neither from the front nor the audiojack nor the type c port, you will get dust. I just bought 2 tempere glasses on ebay ahhahahah.
Few advices to put it perfectly: go to a place inside your house where there is the least amount of dust (no air conditioner, no windows, and no fans rotating), clean your hands with alcohol, and let it dry. then start from the hardest part, The top, as soon as you align the top and the edges on the top, it wil become easier. Now, i noticed that many of the screen protectors, such as this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Shield-Te...ywords=lg+v20+tempered+glass+screen+protector
Are not been built correctly. As you can see on the reviews, you will see people talking about the tempered glass not properly adjusting to the edges, And to be honest, i dont know if this tempered glass i used but put wrong had the same issue since i see the edges not properly adjusted . maybe because i removed it 2 times and put it back on, or maybe is the built quality. Anyway, im going to wait for the other tempered glasses. and see if those have the same issue.
i bought this one:

It doesnt feel bad, it could be better though if it were aluminum probably. But i figure that the polycarbonate absorbs impact better than metal. Also, please revisit the the first post of the thread, i made some changes into my review you might want to read.

Nope. It doesnt. it leaves even an extra small space after the 2nd screen just to make sure that every touch does work. Also it leaves a small space after every edge for the same reasons. :good:

Oh! you are right hahahah. I didn't notice that until i went to the same link on ebay now. The black one shows the 2nd screen, but the others show it as covered . hahaha Probably for the same reason they added something extra to the case that it didnt need to be there as you might have noticed in the picture #8 of the first post i uploaded. But just to play safe, if you will bu y the cover, ask them first.

Yeah at first i thought the same about mine. But then after a minute or 2 it came back to normal and iI t stayed put covering pretty well. Did you try after a short period of time?
Well , for the time being, i did a little adjustment to mine lol and it worked. I put a very very very thin layer of superglue on the edge of the port-cover and waited for it to dry, now the superglue is part of the case, but now the dustcover protector stays there the second i want it to stay there. Although it is not necessary because as i said before, it will come back to normal after about 1 minute or 2 minutes.
On the other hand, I just dont want to return the cover and have my phone naked for another week LOL . And also, i kind of like how thin it is yet very protective. and the seller gave me $5 dollars back because seems like the "premium screen protector" is one of those that wont stick to the edges correctly, althoguht it might have been my fault since i removed it 3 times and put it back on.

Hey i have a question. when you open the cover to plug the usb charger, does it remains open? or is it like mine that after a few minutes it does closes okay?
I bought a few of these from eBay. They aren't slippery like the bumper you get with the phone. Very easy to hold onto. I recommend this. Best $2 I have spent and free shipping. Will take 3 weeks or so to receive it since it comes from China.

Does the fully transparent one pick up fingerprints and smudges? I don't like the way the original one does, it's my pet peeve.
On my previous phone I used to have a hard TPU case, and that one was great, no fingerprints whatsoever, and it was almost fully transparent to show off the phone design.
I got a hard case for the Note 7, but the one I received fits really really tight (I almost broke a nail trying to get the phone out of it). I decided against using it because the bottom edges have two roughly cut parts (that enable the phone to slide into this really tight case) that will surely ruin my pants/pockets in no time. The edges are very rough in those parts even when you just slide your finger across.

That one looks fine, but I prefer to see the beautiful back of the phone, and this one completely covers it.
That seems like a good case but does the rim on the front bump up a bit to protect the screen from touching when flipped?

It's flush with the cameras.
The camera protection worries me a little on phone cases, It's a shame there are no camera protection accessories available.
I have seen a picture (I think) on the kimovil website of some single sided adhesive stuck on the phone case just near the rear camera to protect it but it looks messy

Maybe it's an issue with reflections? That's probably why cases themselves don't offer camera protection. Interferes with the flash probably.

I grabbed this from Gearbest earlier. Thanks for the heads up!
5$ case, 3$ protector camera (in my City)
I just bought this silicone case blue with suede on the inside, it is very comfortable to use, and for the camera this aluminum protector that looks great
I'm using a cheap XUNDD bumper case. It has thick corner bumpers with a clear polycarbonate back to show off that lovely glass finish and also pick up fingerprints. Most importantly, there's a camera surround that protects the camera lens from being scratched if I put the phone down on a table.
It's not heavy and it makes the phone much easier to hold. The clear back does pick up fingerprints but it's easy to clean. I'd rather have a greasy-looking back than a shattered rear panel, no thanks to Xiaomi stupidly using glass on the back for no reason other than aesthetics.
This one is the Nillkin full case, yes it's 4.50€ but is the best one you can use on this phone.
It has a camera protection edge and bumpers on the corners.

Let us know how good they are after hearing about the camera being shattered on there own i didn't want to take that chance at the moment I'm using a Spigen Hybrid Neo Case that i won. But will be replacing it with that case I'm getting for that camera protection but still waiting for it to get delivered.
If you drop your phone, its going to be 50/50 whether you break anything. Just don't drop your phone.
I would recommend a glass protector as the addition of a skin can reduce the brittle effect and absorb a lot of the forces
There are a lot of people also saying the glass broke without them doing anything. TBH I find this VERY hard to believe...

Same here I don't believe it looks like it was intentionally broken the hole where the cracks are look too precise.
I've applied a Spigen GlasR protector on mine. Works perfect, and doesn't introduce an awful haze to photos when using the flash either. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0844KGLZJ/
I've tried one other that advertised itself as being edge to edge but wasn't, and produced horrendous photo quality compared to the Spigen
Seems like a skin over the lens is a real sensible option. You don't have to worry about a glass cover that may affect camera lens clarity and you still get some protection to the overall camera system.

That looks like a really good lens protector how's the quality of the images when you use that zoom feature? i read on that review that it had issues with it on.
I just read an article on Techspot this morning for the days news. Some are theorizing there is some sort of gas inside the glass and it explodes outwards. If that is the case then no glass protector is gonna help with that problem. The BS part is Samsung saying its cosmetic damage and not covered under the origianl warranty. So that will cost you $400.00 dollars to repair. Or if you have Premium care it will cost $100.00 for the deductable. If it turns out this is a defect they should be fixing it free. I guess time will tell. As of now only a couple dozen have reported it.

The real question is though why would they put gas between the glass? I think it's time manufactures stopped using Gorilla Glass and use Tempered Glass instead.

No problem with dust in the holes?

No issues with the zoom. I fkd up the install of the first one, went on incorrectly and didn't line up. The second attempt was perfect and holes where they should be. No issues with image quality or pics with flash.
The only hole in the protector is for the mic, and so far has been no issue with dust accumulation, still clean as a whistle.

I noticed with the one i got from the Bay i get glare from the flash so might end up getting this one eventually.
This is why I rather use a skin or just be careful about how I use the phone/lie it down on surfaces. Because of the glare and other lens issues while trying to snap images. Rather not get anything in the way of the camera lenses.
I got a glass protector but it was really bad. So the skin should be a better solution.
Well, no idea how it can happen without dropping the phone.
