[Q]How to remove the screen protector

I want to buy the matte screen protector but i got a screen protector built in the phone so how do i remove it?

why do u want to buy a new one,when u already have one????

Think of how you would apply one, then reverse the procedure.

I removed it, but it took some time, because it's very thick. Just take your time, use a nail in the corner and be very patience.

yup it's quite sticky unlike the 3rd party screen protector, you may ask a favor from a girl to peel it for you coz their long nails will easily do the job.

As an alternative point of view: DONT just put the new one over the top, remove the old one first. I've seen a couple of posts where people have layered screen protectors (usually because they didnt know it came with one factory fitted) complaining about touchscreen sensitivity.
I mean, it could work fine for you with 2 layers, but if it doesnt you're out the cost of one screen protector.

Use sticky tape to peel it off.

Just scortch tape.
Tape on ur protector, and then pull out your protector by pulling the tape. Works for me all the time.

Yes, same as me
I recognized the factory applied screen proctector after i have installed the second that was found in the box and after reading here a few weeks ago
Now i removed the second and only use the factory apllied one. And it does a quite good job. I don´t know if other ones would be "better" but the factory applied one is good enough for me and does what it shall do: Protecting the screen

Even the X10 comes with a pre installed screen protector. My Arc has 2 screens protectors , The one which came as pre installed and I applied the other one over the pre installed protector.
About the sensibility, personally, it's a lot sensible than the X10 (even though I have 2 protectors )

Samsung s4 mini S-view cover

So i bought the s-view cover for my s4 mini and i really like it!
Its one accesory i actually think is worth buying for 35 euro's
Only thing i miss about it is the fact that you cant customize the s-view area (yet..)
Anyone else here bought the cover? I would like to hear all your thoughts about it
cheers

ROCK Galaxy S4 mini S-View Flip Cover Folio Case
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This case's cover doesn't stay closed unless placed face-down. Same issue with the manufacturer's hard cover case with flip cover as well.

I bought it from a UK seller off eBay for the equivalent of $50...and I'm returning it. The convenience of the window is far outweighed by the annoyance of having to fold it back to hold it comfortably (and even then, still being uncomfortable for one-handed use) - which also causes it to not stay flat later as a result - as well as the fact that it makes the phone a decent amount thicker/bulkier. IMO flip covers work better for tablets, where the weight of the actual cover keeps it down, and the cover can double as a kickstand.
I ordered two slim snap-on cases in its place, and until then, I'm not having any trouble or worry using it without anything - it's such a joy to hold and keep in my pocket compared to the HTC One I had previously.

I personally am using a Mercury Goosperry flip case. It has a magnetic lock to hold the flip cover down.
They're made by a Korean company and comes in many colour combinations.

Could anyone please tell me if the S View flip cover works for the dual sim version GT-I9192 ?
I have found S View covers on ebay but they only refer to the GT-I9190 and GT-I9195 versions.

They should be the same dimensions but its at your own risk!

Will it make the phone bulky..???

Very good quality with good protection as a case.

I am case crazy and I have the S View case along with other cases. The S view area cannot be customized. I also wanted that feature though but that I think is on the LG G2

hey all...
I am looking for a flip cover with sview feature.
I was going to buy the original one but considering that my girlfriend (the owner of the s4 mini) is not really good in taking care of her stuff, i was looking for a way to protect also the back cover.
I mean: is there something like this: http://www.spigen.com/galaxy-s4-case-flip-mate.html but made for s4 mini?
alternatively, has someone tested a reliable flip cover with sview feature that protects also the back of the phone?
Thanks in advance

When you close the case the S-View notification stays on for about 8 seconds then goes to sleep. If you want to see the time you justs squeeze the bottom over the home button then it comes back on. When you open it it goes straight to the home screen. If some one calls it comes on and displays the name.

Official LG Quick Cover

Got my nexus today and the official quick cover I ordered came with it too, even though the order indicated part dispatch. I had assumed this meant the case had been delayed.
Have to say it is a very nice case, feels great, nice snug fit and it is really thin. While it is still bedding in the front flap is lifting slightly when closed (see pic) but I am sure this will give a bit in the next few day's.
Not worth £35!!!!! But it is a nice case. If the spigen one is as nicely made (seem to be looking at pics and reviews) then it will make them a bargain

Nice, but I REALLY miss the Nexus sign from the back...

Yes, correct. Notification light is obscured by cover.
LG/Google case design = FAIL
Time to get out the drill or hole punch, shall I take the phone out of the case before I begin drilling?

haha, there aren't many pictures with a broken screen yet so do it! ;p
where did you get the quick cover? Play store?

Was in new gadget blindness mode and didn't really think about the cost, at £35 it is a bit too much.
I reckon at that price the hole punch cut out for the notification light should go for about £4 on eBay

You had me going there for a moment - I had to reach all the way past my keyboard at work to test your theory.
Phew, I am not an idiot after all, although most of my daily actions would prove otherwise, LGoogle have forgotten to poke a hole in their case!
I will have to ring them and see if they can mail me a hole upgrade? If the makers of polo mints can remember to put holes in their products, I don't see why LGoogle can't
What do you think Google will charge me for postage on a hole?

I really like it but to bad the nexus logo on the back is lost

Id love to get this but losing the nexus logo is a no go for me. I think ill just buy a real bumper.

Does that mean that the front flap isn't magnetized? I'd heard it was and that when you open it, it unlocks your screen.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I have the case as well myself. The flap IS magnetised. The magnet is actually located above the volume buttons, so that when closed the magnet touches the screen glass over the volume buttons.
And I agree, while the case is nice, it definitely isn't worth £35, more like £15 and that's pushing it.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Ok...how did you guys get the case? When I look in the Google Play store, it says "coming soon". I'm in Canada (eh?) and never have any issue purchasing other stuff. I got the white Nexus 5 and thought the white flipcase would look SIC!!!

I received my Quick Cover with my Nexus 5 on Monday. First time I have used a case like this and I must say I am impressed. It feels premium (perhaps not £35 premium) and does not add as much bulk to the phone as I expected.
I for one am glad it has no notification light hole as the light used to wake me in the night on my bedside table.
One question to any other owners, is the rear too thick for wireless charging to work?

Pretty sure wireless charging is fine with this case, think I read it somewhere?
I am sure LGoogle wouldn't overlook this, especially considering they are releasing a charger for the nexus devices too.

The hole in the picture is at the top for the earpiece so you can talk on the phone with the cover closed...

What happens if the flap is closed, you receive an incoming call and open the flap? Does that automatically answer the call? What happens to a call when you close the flap?
Thanks for your feedback.

Opening the flip just turns on the screen. All it does is it saves your pressing the power button. You still have to swipe to unlock if you have it turned on, still have to enter your unlock code etc. When there's an incoming call, after opening the flip you still have to swipe to answer/reject/silence the call. And closing the flip doesn't end calls either, it just turns off the display, or the speaker hole on the flip would be pointless.

[Q] S view or Quick Circle Case??

Hi Guys,
I really like the concept of S view or Quick Circle i have seen one or two such cases on the interwebs and wondered, does OPO has the hardware to support such kind of cases?:silly:

The idea behind the s view case is that the amoled screen on Samsung devices save power by using less of the screen since an amoled screen only draws as much power as is on the screen. LG use an LCD panel like the OnePlus and have copied the idea with their circle cut out, for what ever reason I don't know, it doesn't save power. The key requirement is a hall sensor, a magnetic switch that tells the phone when the flip cover is closed. The oneplus does not have a hall sensor.

I think i saw a video of the opo where the flip case made the screen to turn on. So i guess it has the hall sensor...

I've read on the Opo forum that cases like the above don't work for international Opo. It seems to be designed for the Color OS rom. I'm holding off from getting the Nillkin Sparkle case because I'm not sure if it would work properly.

HTC Dot View w/o case possible?

Hey guys,
somehow I actually don't like the Dot View Case but woudl really like to take advantage of the Dot View functionality.
So my question here is (since I could not find a topic related to this) wheter it is possible to add the ability to use Dot View screen (by e.g. double tapping screen)
without the case. Since this is done by some kind of magnetic detection should it be possible to do this by software or kernel modification.
Any ideas about this by people how got some knowledge about this is highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Well, you can at least use the features with ANOTHER case than the dotview. You can take the magnet from dotview-case and fix it to some other case that has a cover for the screen.
I guess that is not what you intended. Additionally a dotview display watched without the cover is ugly, to say the least.

Yeah... I'll agree with this. It's NOT dots. It's giant colored squares designed to shine through the holes in the case.
