Hi,
is there a film for the slippery back?
Something that sticks good to your hand even when the hand is very dry.
I don't want to use a case. For the iPhone, i had a couple of years ago, there was a film that had a texture a little bit like an orange
and had to be applied with a little bit of water.
Any one knows something like that for the z3c?
thanks a lot,
syd
You could always use a case?
There is a "screenprotector and back protection" topic, why not just check in there instead of creating another topic.

They don't have them for the Z3C yet, but they told me they will be released before the end of the month. Take a look at the skins on the Z2 to get an idea of what they will look like on the Z3C.

Yeah, I'm going to buy one as soon as they are available. Probably the black leather back skin. The glass on the back seems to scratch way more easily than the glass on the front.
I just cut up an old XtremeGuardz skin to fit the back for the time being.

Same. I've had my phone for 9 days now and noticed multiple very fine scratches on the back but the front looks fine, I've never had any scratches on my phones before. Plus the back is too slick and needs some extra grip.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M2232YA/ref=pe_385040_30332200_TE_item I just ordered this yesterday. I've never used Skinomi, so I'll try to remember to post a review of it when I receive it.
Look up "flexible innovations." They make something call egrips. There is an iPhone 5 kit. The back piece of that kit fits ok on the Z3C. A little ugly, perhaps, but extremely grippy.

Their quality is hit and miss. I had one for my G-pad 8.3 and it was awful. Its not bad for temporary use but dbrand is by far the best that I have used so far.
Received the Skinomi today. The carbon fibre back isn't heavily textured, but it's not as slick as the glass back. As for the screen protector, I've never been particularly skilled applying them so I have a couple air bubbles and possibly a speck of dirt underneath it. I'll wait a couple days to see if they work themselves out.

It seems a z3 compact screen protector from xtreme guard is available now: http://www.xtremeguard.com/mobile/Product.aspx?id=2626
But I guess we'll have to wait for the back protector?
If that ever comes.
Are there any alternatives before I drop my phone?

It depends on how careful you are with your phone, but I would definitely recommend a case and screen protector to avoid getting scratches, if nothing else.

That depends on how much protection you want and if you mind covering up the back of the phone (it's nicer than most phones so some people rather not).

That's the one I have, and I like it a lot. Protects the sides and the back, without covering the aluminum body.

I never have much issue with screen scratches (usually) but I'd still err on the side of caution and do at the very least a screen protector. I'm going to replace my ZAGG (which I'm hoping is just scratched and not a crack on the screen ) with one of those fancy shmancy glass screen protectors with the rounded edges.

Ha ha, I have one of those fancy shmancy glass screen protectors. It feels nice and looks nice, but there are bubbles in the corners
TPU skin is good enough if you have good reflexes.
While it is falling, you'll probably break its fall by hitting it up. Plus you can find absolutely clear TPU skins.
A case is a must, screen protector is not.
What I do is whenever I get a brand new phone, I always start with a good protective case and a screen protector. After a few months, I gradually get thinner cases and usually end up with those 0.3-0.5mm thin cases that makes the phone feel nice and less bulky. If you plan to rock the phone naked, I'd recommend a phone pouch.

Thank you very much for the quick response I'm still searching for a good frame or case, is it true that the origin HTC bi color case leaves scratches on the phone I won't believe it .....?! I also hope that the black version is scratch resistant some people said not......I just talked with a Vodafone assistant to change the black against the silver but he said to me that himself have the black one and I looks quite better and after two month usage without any case he have no scratches. I'll take the black one, it comes next week and I will give you a first impression.

Its not REALLY a must IMO. The phone actually holds up very well. Yesterday i purposefully put the phone in the same pocket with a bunch of coins and it scratched the aluminum but the scratches wiped right off. If you drop things than that would be a different story at aluminum can easily dent :good:
That was my point also ... it looks a little exaggerated to say that a case is a must.
I intend to use the phone "naked" indoors. Any case will practically ruin the nice feeling of the phone itself. Of course, if you drop it then there are chances to ruin the nice finish.
I'm also using the phone outdoors, fr sports. For that purpose I ordered a trident kraken ams ... I hope it will do the job.
P.S.: I saw that a OEM housing is "only" 50 bucks, free shipping ... I guess I'll buy one just in case .
I would say that if you carry your phone in your pocket a case is a must. I generally like to go case-less (especially with a phone this pretty), but after having my One slip out of my pocket on a couple of occasions, I ended up getting a case (Poetic Atmosphere; the rubberized edges keep it from slipping out). If you intend on getting a pouch of some sort, I think case-free is fine.
Also, I don't have a screen protector and have no scratches, though I tend to be pretty gentle with my phones.

On Etradesupply, the OEM housing is only like 30 bucks.
I say a TPU case is a must because:
1) You WILL drop it at some point, it's anodized AL, not grippy plastic.
2) The case provides a lip, so if you put your phone face down, the screen won't touch the surface & scratch from w/e dirt is there.
3) The case will also keep the camera lens (or the anodized back) from touching any surfaces.
4) I wear a ring, and if I don't put a case on, the ring scratches ONTO the phone. That's not good.
If you're REALLY careful, then none of these matter. but it's hard to be perfect.
Besides, when I'm in bed, I can just quickly remove the case for a little bit. It feels nice.
This phone is just too good looking to cover up, IMO. I've been going naked since day one I don't have a single scratch on it. The aluminum housing is solid and whatever glass HTC used really resists scratching. My One X screen got covered in microscratches pretty quickly, but I haven't seen anything on this phone.
Just treat it with care and you can forget the case. CNET tried to destroy their test phone and couldn't do it.
I have a double dip case bought at once with the phone. Well .. the feeling simply does not compare with the case on. It just loos cheap and plastic'ish ... is worse than galaxy S4 actually. So, with all the risks involved I will go "naked" while in normal use and I will use the kraken ams for outdoors. That's all ...
I only like corner protection. I don't care about the back.
I used to have a screen protector on this but I don't like it, it doesn't make the display look as nice. I have since taken it off and have not gotten any scratches, not even micro ones. I think this display is more tough than previous GG2 screens. I had the ONE X+ and it scratched easily.

I respectfully disagree, as will most in this forum that Android is horrible.
Maybe you can post what apps you are looking for and other users can tell you if there are equivalent apps.

Hello Senior Member,
Thanks so much for your quick response, ok I'm impatient, I found the first app for my marantz av and the buffalo server which works its the bubbleUPnP and it works with the iPhone equivalent not still searching the for the 8player.
So i ordered a grey bumper and have had it now for a few days and decided to tell you all my experience. The bumper has a very nice in hand feel, smooth and contoured nicely to the phones original shape. The case is also extremely light and adds minimal bulk about 1mm. The cutouts are all perfectly cut as this case is made for the Nexus and the application and removal of the case are easy and fluid. The only slight issue at first is the button feel which is a bit stiff but after using it for days it loosens up some and becomes second nature. I here alot of people *****ing about the price but afterr spending less on some cases that were tripe in the build quality and returning them all this case is quality. It also allows for the Qi charger to work through it. Last but not least i like the Nexusy design and the fact that it has Nexus etched on the back. I do not want to conceal the fact that i have a Nexus. here are some pictures if you have any questions just ask?
had to post on a different reply wouldnt allow me to add to thread for some reason

To those who are receiving discoloration. Get a refund or exchange. I'm sure there is a warranty
Also, in regards to the discoloration, what happens if you wipe it? I know, basic question, but you never know.

i didn't bother to try using some cleaning fluid or soap on it, but it was more than something you could just wipe away with your hand. i don't know whether the color was like impregnated into the plastic or if it was just on the top. basically get the black one to avoid discoloration
I just orderd my black one.. About time..!
I might order a red one as well black is just to blah

Is your current one a wet install protector? I found that's the case most of the time. This one is dry install. I messed up my initial install because I was on a conference call at work and forgot which side was the adhesive side lol. But this protector is smooth. Not tempered glass smooth, but dang close.

I got this one, I do not work at BestBuy. It is reflective and not soft to touch. Feels and looks just like the glass which is great.
I noticed mine is slightly smaller (maybe 1mm diameter) than the actual screen size. Hardly noticeable.
Most BestBuy have at least one or two of them. Weird because I could not find them online but they were on the shelves.
I'm using the ArmorSuit protector ($8 from Amazon). I like it a lot. Pretty much feels like bare glass and it's not thick enough to be noticed unless you angle the watch and really look for it.
I'm using a Zagg protector. Feels like a standard zagg and looks pretty good. I had them undersize it by about 1mm.

All of the other protectors I bought I could depress my finger nail into them. That is not what i was looking for. The official ones are the only ones so far that have a hard glass like feel. But to each their own.
The spigen one's are available for pre-order on Amazon. They're shipping in 10 days. A bit pricey though. 22 dollars for one. I'm supposed to be receiving the official ones today so hopefully those can hold me off until more affordable glass ones come out.

I'm just worried the tempered ones will sit up too high on the display. Maybe if it's tapered up fro the sides it wouldn't be so bad. I will have to see a close up photo before investing in one.
Has anyone found one that actually fits properly? I purchased a pack of clear illumiShield and the dimensions are so far off it's comical.
I've tried several tempered glass, all have a halo..... I've also tried several of the "skin" ones, they are all so close they hang over with any use of the squeegee and then peel off pretty fast.
I ended up going with a "stiff" clear plastic one, like what came with the phone....But they leave about an 1/8 inch gap on the sides, which I can live with until I find a good tempered glass one.
I just tried the screen protectors from Skinomi, plus a gold carbon fiber skin; It was bright gold and didn't match at all. The fitment for both the screen protector and wrap are perfect.... I just can't stand a wet-applied screen protector. They do feel smoother, but there is always an orange-peel effect and the corners of these types of screen protectors tend to snag too easily and peel up.
TL;DR Skinomi wet is currently the only way to get full coverage.
The search continues...
I've purchased a couple of no-name glass ones on Amazon and there is a clear 1mm gap on each side *after* the tapered glass. If there is one thing I'd like to see happen is the end to the "2.5D" or whatever this beveled glass crap is called on phones it's annoying. These damn pocket computers are too expensive not to have some more time taken into building them to withstand day-to-day abuse.

I completely agree, aside from the fact that "2.5D" is a really stupid name for a radiused edge.

I tried it, sent it back.
It's cut so exact to size, that if you squeegee it any it stretches and hangs over the sides and peels off in a matter of days, sometimes just hours. If it's in a case, the case pushes on the sides and bubbles it up even quicker.
I thought I was alone with this frustration, but a couple other people have PM'd me they had the same issue with it.
I guess if you're patient, don't squeegee it too much.......and buy through Amazon where you can return it, it might be worth a try?

Their customer service is better than OnePlus, that's for damn sure.
Wrong thread to ask if you should move from Axon Mini to 7. But anyway, this glass protector seems to be pretty good so far.

Yes only the black border has adhesive but I haven't had issues with touch or anything. The black border gives it a nice look too. Capacitive buttons get covered but I've already gotten used to where they are located. Probably the best glass protector you can buy right now and I'll be sticking with it until something better comes out. Glass vs plastic feel is just no contest.

Can you send us a picture of it? Thx!
Here's a pic of it. The gap on the right is mostly the gap from the case.

I can't believe they cannot make a tgsp with the proper curves on the two sides. Grrr

Yup, this is going to be the best we'll get for awhile I think. They only do proper curved TGSP for popular devices like Note 7 and S7 Edge.

Got it, I'll give it a shot. I'll get a Skinomi just in case.

Is skinomi perfect fix at screen? Is there anyone can upload photos?

DBrand just released its new dragon skin today, and I think it looks incredible. They're also offering 20% off site wide today, so it's a good day to order if you want one. This is my first DBrand skin, so I'll post my thoughts after I get it. I really wish I had the black G6 now, because I think that would have looked even better, but I'm still excited to put it on my platinum version.
Ordered some for myself and my wife as well.
It'll be interesting to see if it actually is grippy since they bragged about that when releasing it.
I like the dragon skin a lot. I was able to get just the pieces to go around the cameras. It was pointless to get front and back because I already have a case covering back (so it wouldn't be seen) and tempered glass on front, which has slots cut out for camera and speaker, so the skin would lay flat.

I got it for the back and the camera. I have tempered glass on the front, but if the skin is as grippy as they say it is, I might use the phone without a case a little bit more...Maybe...I'm also waiting for Best Buy to get the Speck Presidio Grip in stock so I can see how that looks/feels.

Yeah, I'm really hoping for some significant grip.
I also bought the dragon dbrand skin for the back and camera. I'm hoping to be able to use it without a case at times when I'm home. Whenever I leave home, the case will always be on it.
Here are a couple pictures I took of the skin on my platinum G6. It isn't as grippy as I thought it would be, but I still really like it.

Nice! Same feel as their other skins with just another pattern?

Sorry, this is my first DBrand skin, so I can't comment on that. They claim this is their grippiest skin.

What's the material like? I was hoping they'd start with a rubberized skin at some point.

It is so thin, it does not feel rubberized...maybe a tiny bit of tackiness to it. You can feel the texture of it--slightly rough. I guess I might compare it to a textured leather feel. It might add more grip if it went around the sides of the phone, but as is, I don't think it adds a ton of grip, though I am more confident that it won't slide out of my pocket when I'm sitting.

Sounds pretty close to their old skins then. Maybe the pattern gives a bit more grip. Looking forward to trying it out when it arrives.
Cheers mate!
DBrand Leather
I just got mine! Leather Back with Matte Yellow Camera. The leather back isn't as grippy as I thought it would be but still better than before.

Nice!
I've had their leather skin before and yeah, it's not all that grippy. Neither were their wood or matte either. Sounds like the dragon skin isn't revolutionary either, but it might be a bit better at least.
Looks nice though.

I think I should have gone with Slickwraps, I think the leather feel is more genuine with them.

Well yeah, they've got actual real leather as well. ?
Got mine the other day, pretty nice. Not quite as grippy as I'd hoped but it helps a bit and protects against scratches at least.
Looks good though.

What's the point now
I'm actually considering removing mine again and just keeping the part for the cameras.
It looks good and provides great scratch resistance but not really that much grip really. In some cases I actually think it's more slippery than the naked glass back. Depends on if your fingers are dry out not I guess.
Still deciding. It makes for a harder fit in some cases as well.
