Bugdroid Circuit Case and Screen Protectors - Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories

Hi all. I've had an Ozrly screen protector on my Z3C since I got it which was great. I've tried every case I could find on Amazon and always come back to the bugdroid case because of its low profile and it's sturdiness. It just seems to do the best job while keeping the phone small. But the lip surrounds the front more than every other case I've tried and after a couple of days the case pushed two of the corners up and allowed dust to get under it. In using a one of the 6 cheap plastic screen protectors that came with the cases I have lying around but I have a very rough job and don't like not having tempered glass on the front. I was wondering is anyone has found a tempered glass screen protector that is a bit smaller that will play nice with the bugdroid case?

Try the Brando one. It is a bit smaller than the screen leaving spaces around, which makes me disappointed from this tempered glass, alongside with its cutouts.

I've just returned my bugdroid case for this reason, can't be doing with it peeling up my screen protector

Best case to use with Spectre screen protector?

Can anyone tell me what the best case would be for use with the Spectre Tempered Glass screen protector? I have a Zoogue case on my S3 right now. The Zoogue case slightly lifts the screen protector off the screen, which in turn, reduce the screen sensitivity. Do you guys have any recommendations?
Thanks!
I've got a Case-Mate Barely There with my Spectre. It fits nicely, you have about 2-3 mm between the case and the screenprotector on each side.
I don't recommend buying it though. It's a real sucky case and a lot of people (including me) have reported the matte finish to peel off. They send out replacements but those peel off as well.
Also, it almost doesn't protect the bottom and if you lay the phone down on its screen, it will lay on the screen, I mean, the case doesn't stick out a lot so that when you've got the spectre on, it lays on the spectre rather than on the case (if that makes any sense).
Dropped my phone a couple of times and have got 2 nice cracks in my screenprotector. Case doesn't protect much I guess. Haha.
Good luck on finding a case!

100% full coverage screen protecto

is there such thing aside from the spigen curved one? i heard the spigen ones are garbage. i've used skinomi (they were all right, not as durable), they covered 95% of the screen. the zagg invisible shields were garbage, wasted 25$ and thought it covers the whole screen but it left a huge gap.
Try Tippin Screen protector.
tippin is where its at for full curved protectors.. just remember any case that wraps around the edge tightly is probably not compatible
Does this tippin cover as good if not better than SGP Curved Crystal? The reason I ask is the images on Amazon show that it does not cover the portion immediately above the ear speaker. I love the curved crystal except for the dents that won't disappear. Does the tippin have this problem? Thanks!
the tippin pretty much covers all. ear speaker, sensors+camera, and home button are cut out. if you press on it hard enough with your nail, itll leave a dent. will it go away eventually? dont know, probably not. i think the tippin scratches kind of easily. i noticed a small rainbow line. not sure if its a scratched screen protector or cracked glass. another thing about these screen protectors...you have a small margin for error for placement. i was ocd at first and wanted it on 100% perfect alignment. i tried the tape the side method. thought i had it on perfect, but nope. a small sliver didnt stick because it was on slightly to the left. took the whole thing off and could not put it on as good as before. i spent almost an hr, gave up and ended up with even worse alignment. so my advice is get it aligned the way you want it on the 1st try. since these were a ***** to apply, id like a screen protector thats between full and gapped coverage. but the clarity is good and i think it gets slightly less fingerprints than the naked screen.

The Spigen is good. I would say they are far superior to the Skinomi ones.
I went this route. This is now in my top spot for screen protectors.
http://chrismchoi.blogspot.com/2013/03/seidio-vitreo.html
This is what I use. It covers the entire screen and is smooth. It also seems to repel fingerprints and is somewhat scratch resistent. Most people looking at my phone can't even tell there is a screen protector on it.

Thanks for the recommendations guys. I really like the Sigen Curved Crystal but am annoyed with the dents. When new, it is barely noticeable at all. I really wish this were available in more durable finish. The Seidio glass screen protector looks really nice but will not work with my case (Element Eclipse)
I am assuming the Realook is almost the exact same as the SGP curved crystal. The cutouts look the same and the hardness rating is the same. Do you notice dents that don't go away? If I were to use my fingernail to type, the screen protector would become pitted all over.

I don't notice any dents, but I use swype as my keyboard of choice. Do you push hard when texting? I let my 4 and 6 year old use my phone often, and I still don't notice much wear. There are a couple of tiny scrathes on my screen protector, and they are only noticeable in direct light at certain angles. I have had the protector on for about 3 months. My old protector (Zagg HD) showed fingernail dents and nicks about a week after I put it on.

the realook 3d forming is essentially the same thin material as the SGP curved crystal. It does dent very easily, but I do find that the dents flatten out and get much better after a day or two. It's not self-healing by any means, but the depth of the dents actually decreases and becomes almost invisible to the eye if the original dent isn't very deep. But I would echo everyone's advice on this thread: these full screen protectors most certainly will not work with almost every tpu case. Any tight fitting case will push up the corners of the protector no matter what you do. I learned the hard way and had to throw out 3 of them. So the cheap ebay s-curve/s-line tpu cases, diztronic, and mercury cases will not work with these protectors unless you get very lucky with your placement. Though I have all these cases and none of them worked with the realook 3d forming screen protector

Thanks Jottle. I was thinking it is probably the same material as the curved crystal. I have found 3 cases that the full coverage works with: UAG, Eclipse Element and SGP Modello. I love the look of the full coverage with these cases but with the dents, I have to replace the protector about once every 2 months.

I am currently using the Seidio Surface case with my Realook screen protector. It works without any problems. I have also used the Rock Quicksand case and the Incipio Sylicriic without any issues.

Just wanted to add that I've now tried the Tippin full coverage screen protectors as well. They are incompatible with my case as well. There are some tpu cases that will work with full coverage protectors. But the extremely tight ones that barely cover the corners will not.

Any consensus on the best aftermarket tempered glass screen protector?

Firstly, I have read through many of the threads existing on protectors.
When I checked YouTube to see if there were any videos comparing screen protectors for the OPX there were none, so I watched a video comparing 4 screen protectors for a different phone. Of these Armorz and Bodyguardz protectors seemed to come out on top, and survive the strenuous tests the videomaker put them through. It seems neither of these brands make protectors for the OPX.
Next I searched this forum and read through many of the threads on the different screen protectors. For as many people that promote the different protectors, there seem to be as many if not more detractors, complaining of rainbox effect, the protector fitting one OPX but not another, air bubbles, etc.
I ordered my OPX today, and I intend to order a Spigen OnePlus X Case Rugged Armor Black but I was hoping to compliment that with a screen protector.
I was hoping to order the best protector, that will fit my OPX, no rainbox effect, and that will not cause any isue with the Spigen Case - does this exist?
Simple answer is it depends on luck.
I have tried several including 1+, Nillkin, generic, full cover... None of them are perfect, if you go for any like the official 1+ one where only the display is covered you may end up with horrid air bubbles around the cover, many people complained of this-I only know of one guy who done it flawlessly. The plus side of this is that cases will fit fine. The full cover one is the best one I've tried, though it has a rainbow effect in the middle of the screen which can be seen under bright light conditions or on a white screen. This screen protector doesn't have any air bubbles and fits great, only downside is the rainbow, some cases should fit fine e.g. I use the Nillkin frosted back cover which fits without issue.
For me the small rainbow is something I can deal with unlike the air bubbles around the whole display which were an eye sore, you'd be lucky if you didn't get any. So it is hit and miss tbh, just trial and error, I wasted a good £20 on protectors for this phone, which is something I'll never do again.
In the end I ordered from Amazon:
OnePlus X Screen Protector,Nillkin®[Anti-Explosion ][With Camera film][With Back Protector]Amazing H+Pro 9H Tempered Glass Screen Protector for OnePlus X
You mention the protector you use covers the whole phone, but the thing is that I also want the added protection of the Spigen OnePlus X Rugged Armour.
Accepting that they all have flaws, as I can probably still cancel my order and change it, and considering I want front screen protection AND the Spigen Rugged Armour case, do you think I would be better with a different protector than the Nilkin?
*Air bubbles are the main thing I wish to avoid, I could live with a Rainbox effect, once it is only visible from certain angles etc.?
It is a real shame there are non more protectors, I really was sold on Bodyguardz or Armorz protectors after watching the videos where they were tested, and was disappointed to discover they do not make protectors the OPX. I am guessing they do not think there is enough of a market to make it worth their while.
I had a look at the case and it seems that the Nillkin one is probably your best option, as the case covers the sides and slightly overlaps on the front-full protector covers the whole front so you may get issues with it.
Have a look for yourself, here is the one I bought (and currently use):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/281856280418
This is the issue, you could risk bubbles and use the spigen or avoid them, live with a rainbow and use another case. It's down to luck, you may not get any bubbles or rainbow depending on which one you use.
The first sentence in your reply is not so clear, you are saying the Nilkin it is the best option although I may still have issues with it?
I ordered the protector you linked to on eBay about a week ago, but it will take a few weeks to get here!
I do have my Nilkin H+ protector here, my Spigen Rugged Armor case, and my OnePlus X arrived about 15 minutes ago
I want to try apply the Nilkin cover right away - I will post picture for others - but what is the best method? I read somewhere on the forum that we should make sure to use the 'x method', but I cannot remember what x is?
The full cover protector covers the whole front, I mean edge to edge, so the case may not fit-it may conflict with the glass. The Nillkin one only covers the display/screen not the side edges/bezels so you will have no issues with the protector and case.
I have never heard of the 'x method' so don't know, but the best method I have used is with tape or alignment stickers (your protector may have came with them). So you carefully align the protector with the display, apply the tape so it stays in place, remove the film and just close the protector (like a book), apply some pressure in the centre and leave it for a few minutes. Oh and make sure there isn't any dust before applying the glass, use a microfibre cloth to clean.
Also, just to clear things up-you may have issues with the full cover glass protector (not Nillkin-I gave the ebay link previously), the only issue with the Nillkin one is that if you botch it, you will have an air gap around the whole glass. Though if your lucky you may not.
I think this is the x method:

I'm happy with it. The glass feels better then the plastic stock one.
Use the 'hinge method' to apply the screenprotector.

Though I haven't tried it myself.
Please upload some picture of your result when you are done
Used hinge method, still got the rainbow effect. I tried unhinging it a few times and cleaned both the screen and the protector and places it back on but there was always a rainbox effect - the last time I tried removing it the protector cracked
I was suspicious at the time when I tried installing the Nilkin Screen Protector, the plastic film removable cover of the protector was on the OUTSIDE of the tempered glass!!!!
WTF!
I know it was on the outside, and not the inside, because the holes in the glass for the front ear speaker and front camera would only line up when the film cover was on the outside, that is facing me as I looked down at the phone. This was the first tempered glass screen protector I ever tried to install, so I assumed I must be mistaken and continued trying to install.
From the videos I have looked again, it seems that this film cover should always be on the inside of the protector (before being removed), that is, on the side of the tempered glass that will be touching the screen of the phone?
Thanks, yes that is the method, see my comments on how it did not work and how I think they somehow sent me a screen protector with the film cover on the wrong side.
xx
As you can see the plastic film protector is on the wrong side of the tempered glass, well, if you want the holes for the speaker and camera to line up!
http://i.imgur.com/VJU5LC7.jpg"]http://i.imgur.com/VJU5LC7.jpg
Yeah, the film is on the inside, the side that attaches to the screen, peeling the plastic sheet off exposes the adhesive bit which sticks to the glass. Just saw the pictures, bad luck man. I got through like 3-4 protectors before settling-if that makes you feel better.
Then I am not losing my mind! Did you see the picture I posted?
Amazon are refunding me at least. I hate that I could not apply a protector to the brand new screen.
Like I said before, I have ordered the one you recommended but it will take some weeks to arrive, and I think you said it will not fit with my Spigen Rugged Armor case anyway.
Can you recommend any others and I will order now? I am in Ireland so possible options are Amazon UK or ebay, though I guess I can order from anywhere really.
As this device is relatively new (only a few months old) there are not many variations of protectors available. As far as I am aware there is the Nillkin type which covers the screen only and the full cover which covers the whole front. I got the ebay one in about a week (China to London), I chose standard delivery (its free and faster than economy).
Check the image in my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65705849&postcount=37
That is the full cover one, I had an issue and got it replaced, now it only has a slight rainbow-but I can live with it.
TIFU - I did not realise the second smaller hole in the Nilkin tempered glass was for the proximity sensor, the camera has no hole...

Honor 9 Cases, Screen Protectors and other Accessories

Since there is only a thread for the Nillkin cases and tempered glass I thought it would be nice to have some thread for the accessories in general.
Until this day I tried 3 cases, two screen protectors (films) and two tempered glass protectors.
Case No. 1 ) Slim, silicone case http://www.ebay.com/itm/Transparent-Clear-Silicone-Slim-Gel-Case-For-Huawei-Honor-9/112446352466?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 - Very slim and light case made from nice silicone BUT the protection when dropped would be none. It's not made 100% precisely and since it's silicone it doesn't look any good on the back where it creates bubbles. I've ordered this as the first case to have at least some protection. Nice thing is they include free screen protector but the quality isn't very good - doesn't cover the whole display (I'm not talking about edge-to-edge) and there are 2mm gaps on each side and when the display is on it looks terrible. 2/5
Case No. 2) Nillkin Super Frosted http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-HUAWEI-Honor-9-NILLKIN-Super-Frosted-Shield-Hard-Plastic-Back-Covers-Cases-/152596952252?var=&hash=item23877cb4bc:m:mtNLCAV-KRHaAK2TUOYLPTg - very nice case, really sturdy BUT I have few complaints - it's kinda slippery on the sides but this will go away after some use maybe and the bottom side around jack, charging port and speaker is a bit sharp and if you're holding the phone with the little finger on the bottom it't not really comfortable. Besides that it's really nice case for the price but I expected a bit more. But once again for the price it's more than OK. 4/5
Case No. 3) TPU Shockproof case with "carbon" http://www.ebay.com/itm/Luxury-Carbon-Fiber-Slim-Shockproof-Soft-TPU-Back-Case-For-Huawei-Honor-9-Magic/112325496837?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=412748326145&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 - as you can imagine, there is absolutely no carbon at all, just some kind of "sticker" or what it is. Nevermind, this case is the best of the three. Really nice case made from TPU, sturdy, should have the best drop protection and fits just perfectly. There is a small "rim" around the screen that should protect the screen from scratches when the phone is "face down". 5/5
Screen protector (film) No. 1) Nillkin Super Clear Protective Film - in terms of size the best screen protector I've had. Obviously it's not edge-to-edge but it does cover the whole display with gaps on the edges BUT the display is fully protected so thumbs up for me. In terms of "anti-fingerprint" it's nowhere close to the display or the back but is much better than some noname protector I've got with TPU case. Overall very nice screen protector for free but I'm still waiting for the Nillkin H+ tempered glass and some noname edge-to-edge tempered glass. 4/5
Tempered glass No. 1) Edge-to-edge blue 2.5D tempered glass http://www.ebay.com/itm/9H-2-5D-Full-Cover-Real-Tempered-Glass-Screen-Protective-Film-For-Huawei-honor-9/152593109357?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=452016649496&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 - really nice tempered glass (2 pcs) for the price. It has the adhesive only on the top, bottom and the sides but the application was very easy and the glass holds on even with any of tested cases. It has some "dots" in the screen area so I got no rainbow effect whatsoever. The blue color is a bit different from the original color od the phone but it's not a problem since you have your phone in a case. Overall for the price pretty good. 4/5
Tempered glass No. 2) Normal tempered glass Caliber (bought in CZE) - not edge-to-edge, doesn't cover the whole screen, gaps on the sides. Overall sh*t. 1/5
Still waiting for the Nillkin H+ tempered glass.
Nilkin Amazing H+ Pro is No Go
Got the 0.2mm H+ Pro. It's cover the display area for like 99%, with-out just about 0.5mm on each side, after all still the best.
BUT. The silicon layer doesn't hold the tempered glass on both sides, looks like the phone display curve started a bit earlier than its needed for the protector.
It doesn't stick to the display, making it looks like ****, with 3mm frame from each side. Top/bottom sides stick OK, all the way to edges.
So Nilkin Amazing H+ Pro is No Go for me.
Well, got it yesterday so I'm still waiting to try it but not sure if wan't to :laugh:
cases
sooooo, I bought these from tvc mall. They were so cheap that I bought three different ones with the intent of disposing of whichever were poor. Thing is, they are all good in their own way. The plain bumper is just very slimline. The rugged looking one is cool as it has a stand in landscape mode, and the wallet is exceptional quality, given the price. All three fit perfectly, but the plain bumper makes the power and volume buttons so much more tactile. The rugged one looks really cheap in silver, perhaps black would have been a good choice. As i wasn't expecting much from the wallet one, I also oredered the nilkin wallet but that hasn't arrived yet.

I have also ordered the ultimate sheild screen protector, which is edge to edge, in black as I think it will make an excellent contrast to the silver rear of the handset....which wont be visible when the (absolutely necessary) bumper is fitted!
Ultimate sheild screen protector
.... And the ultimate sheild protector turned up. It is excellent. A word of caution, unless this is fitted absolutely perfectly, it will render one or both of the capacitance keys inoperable. This happened to me as i fitted the sheild a fraction of a millimetre to the right. I carefully removed and replaced it with more accuracy.
Here is a pic of the black sheild fitted to my silver H9, and a photo of the plain bumper fitted from my previous post. Svelt but rugged!
After a couple of hours of use I can say that there has been no loss of sensitivity on the screen or capacitive buttons, but on darker details and the blacks, it does look like the screen is behind a sheet of glass. You will know what i mean if you have used a screen protector which bonds over its entirety, whereas this one has a mild adhesive at the top and bottom of the protector, where the bezels are. A small price to pay i think to protect my new device. It is mostly noticeable in bright light, not so much in low light. And I love the new black look of the bezels with the silver fingerprint sensor still visible.
Right, so, some more hours on....the ultimate sheild has begun to show its flaws. Towards the middle of the screen there is now what i can only describe as a "woodgrain" effect. This could be caused by tiny amounts of moisture getting between the screen and protector, which I guess there is nothing to stop that happening. They offered a refund for dissatisfaction so I guess I will be chasing that up. Pfffft. So disappointed.....
Is there a smart cover for it ?!
Just bought the TPU Shockproof case and it is amazing! It's a very good quality and it doesn't makes the phone feel like a toy.
I really like it and definitely recommend it!

Can you upload a photo of the phone with the case applied?! That would be awesome
The nilkin "sparkle series" wallet turned up. Its awful. Unlike the cheap wallet I purchased, which remains closed under magnetism, the nilkin just falls open and feels poorer quality.
The Ipaky bumper with the clear perspex back is, however, very nice. The only caveat, it sits flush with the screen so offers no protection if you decide to place your device screen down.
I'm waiting for the smart cover case, if it didn't come fast, I'll go with a skin.
I have bought an honor 9 few days ago. Somebody could suggest me a screen protector that cover whole display? With 3D display is so difficult find a good screen protector....

I don't like this type of tempered glass (i know that is the only solution for cover 3d display without space).
So, someone has tested "invisible film screen protector"?

If someone else has tried this protective film, please give us a feedback.
Did someone try the Mofi screen protector? According to a review on Aliexpress it has minimal space at both sides.
I've seen ones from ultimate shield, I'm considering getting one.

Good luck with that. Did you read my earlier post? As the protector does not actually sit on the screen, due to the adhesive around the edges, it is susceptible to the "rainbow effect" which i think is caused by humidity between screen and protector. It seemed to manifest itself after the phone had been in my pocket and warmed up. I don't have an overly sweaty crotch.....
Anyhow, they apologised and promptly sent a replacement and the same happened again.
By all means give it a go and they will refund you without issue.

OnePlus 7 Pro tempered glass back protector

Do tempered glass for the back of OP7pro exist?
basically i don't want to get a case that blocks the nice nebula blue back of the phone.. at the same time, clear TPU cases are a bit chunky for my liking (unless someone can suggest an ultra thin clear TPU case)
I'm thinking tempered glass back and find something like a clear TPU bumper that just goes around the phone.. and obv tempered glass for the screen
TIA!
Try a Skinomi full body protector. They are a rubbery type screen protector. It's the same vinyl that they use as paint/headlight protection on cars. They go on hazy, but are clear as glass about 24 hours later. They feel sort of "grippy" at first, but that also fades to a glass feeling after a couple of days.

i actually am looking for some 'grip' not like super grippy but not the smooth 'i'm gonna drop this $750 phone real quick' glass back that OP7pro has.. also, although that seems like a good protector, i would still prefer tempered glass as that seems to just be a soft TPU screen/back protector?
tempered glass would still save the glass back (hopefully) whilst not blocking the nebula blue
i came across this Olixar Ultra Thin case for OP7pro but i'm not sure if anyone's tried it (if it's thinner than the one that came with OP7pro)...also, it has the "Olixar" at the bottom back, not a fan of that.
I just ordered this:

I'm not sure on signal attenuation of the aluminium but from all the teardowns doesn't look like antennas are at the side so should be ok.
