Suggestions on protecting the camera lens. - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any one know of a glass camera lens protector? Be nice cause I'd imagine it would be clear enough. My G2 has scratched simply with my finger as I felt my way to the volume buttons. Hate for the same to happen with my G3. Suggestions appreciated.

Does it affect picture quality? At such small aperture (f2.2 I believe) a slightly scratched lens will hardly have an affect on the image. For the same reason, I'd say a plastic/film cut to size for the lens would be sufficient.

This case has a rubber stopper so you can touch the lens while using the volume buttons. I have two of them and it's my favorite case.

I suppose I could live with that. Is that case slippery?

I have this case as well and it feels a little slippery but has better grip than others. Personally I like the tech21 case better since it doesn't add as much bulk.

It's not slippery, the ultra hybrid is slippery. It has good protection and the cut outs are only where they need to be as opposed to a big ugly one line other cases.

Let me know how bulky that ends up being. Or if it adds a decent lip to the front of the phone. I was looking at some of the other Tridea models as well, but I want something that will keep the face of the phone off of the desk if I have it upside down.

My reasoning for staying away from either of the 2 tridea bumper cases is that the back is so exposed it looks like the camera lens would touch the surface of whatever you lay it on and get scratched

[looking for] anti fingerprint screen protector

Any good ones out there? I haven't really seen any that I thought, "hey, you know, that looks like a quality screen protector for under $15"
Thanks all.

Anyone?

I had a moshi for my note but I really hurt the screen clarity. And I'm not a big fan of zagg ethier. But I would agree that anti glare and anti fingerprint is the way to go. I'd stay away orange peel stuff to.

I just put this one on the other day, so far so good. They made it small so it won't peel at the edges.

Some folks stated that some screen protectors were showing imprints from the stylus....YMMV.
Generally the wet style application for screen protectors will be prone to being easily marked.
They typically have some degree of self recovery but I doubt they'll prevent a visible amount of marks from the SPen showing up.

I had ghost armor on my note 1 and pre purchased one for my note 2. The pen works fine and is just as accurate (note 1 experience). It does leave a imprint on the skin just as the spen would leave steaks on the glass that were noticeable at different angles, but don't worry, just like the glass, it wipes away the streaks on the ghost armor.

Metal case

Is there any metal cases for the s4? Not aluminum but real metal
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
well...
first off aluminum is a real metal, so not sure what you mean by that. what metal would you like to see? I haven't seen one that is solid metal. http://www.droid-life.com/2013/04/29/buy-this-metal-back-cover-for-your-galaxy-s4-if-youre-tired-of-the-plastic/
there is one back cover.
the other one I know of is the spigen slim armor, But it is not all metal either. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BW6GIP2
If you have great signal where you're at... awesome, but if you struggle with signal, getting a metal case isn't a good idea from my experience. You may lose a bar or two. I have had more cases than I can count, ordering them like a kid in a candy store, except this time around with the S4. Having had issues before, if you do get one, I'd be interested in how it works for you because I wouldn't mind having a metal case myself.

My mistake then, I know previous spigen cases have had metal versions in the past. with a quick amazon search I saw it and just assumed.
Hey I actually found one.. It took me a while but they do have a metal case here's the link... http://www.casefanatic.com/samsung-...kommandant-samsung-galaxy-s4-metal-case-case/

Spigen SPG cases?

So I saw this case on eBay
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=251365474715
Does anybody have insight on it's quality?
Worth it?

Wow. Seriously?
There are like 4 forums for this case...
Simple question. No harm done. Please find something more worthwhile to be annoyed about.
Thanks for the direction...:good:
I own this case. it's ok. the buttons are very flush and it's hard to distinguish if the phone is upside or not. and there is space on the headphone jack and USB cut out letting a lot of crap come in which sucks with a clear case. buy the slim armor it's a lot better I have the white one and love it

I have the ultra hybrid and the gaps at the bottom especially pissed me off letting in all that dust/dirt... Are the openings on the slim armor any better?

Thanks. That was something I was concerned with. The protective film on the inside, is it noticeable if you don't take it off?
