Screen protector info

Here's some info for screen protectors for the Excalibur/Dash... I found a really good one on EBay. The info on the package is the following:
BHB
Screen GUARD
The Greatest Guarder For LCD Screen
2.4"
Sony T1 Sony T11 Sony W1 Sony DV
50.5mm X 37.5mm
The following link will bring up the other auctions for the person that i bought it from (platinumaccessoriesstore):
http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?satitle=HQ+SCREEN+PROTECTOR+Dash
I haven't found a regular store that sells them yet, but this protector is the best i've seen

Cool thanks. I was planning on getting one and didn't know which one on eBay to buy - and was thinking about just waiting until they're around in the stores... but now I can get this one right now.

im planning on buying a screen protector for my DASH, which hasn't arrived yet, and would like to verify if this is the correct size of the screen itself:
2.4"
Sony T1 Sony T11 Sony W1 Sony DV
50.5mm X 37.5mm

Well, the screen protector fits exactly the width/height of the screen, so I would guess it's correct

Thanks Merwin Actually there's no accessories for Dash here in my country so i'll have to buy one that's exactly the same dimension or a little bit larger and trim it.

Back when this was posted, I bought some -- it was the easiest-to-apply screen protector I've ever used, and yes, it's the perfect size. It's also stayed on for months now, I still have the spares -- very good find.

Yeah, I still have the same one on mine too I got worried when my son put his teeth into my phone at one point. Had a tiny scratch on the protector. I just left it alone and the mark on the protector even went away.

Hi there,
I always used the BoxWave screen protector in all my devices (some 4 PDAs/Phones and 1 iPod) and realy liked them very much.
They have very high rates in all reviews (thats how I got to them in first place) and they ship anywhere (due to the size of the package, barely larger than a regular envelope, it usualy goes fine to customs and other verifications).
For touch screen devices I recomend the Anti-glare (has a realy nice texture to write into) and for my Dash I am going to try the Crystal.

I chose this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320050331056
It really is anti-scratch - its impossible to scratch it, but the downside is that since it is quite thick it makes the screen a little shimmery.

The Boxwaves are OK, but not as good as the ones originally posted about in this topic. The corners on the Boxwaves started coming loose and unsticking after a couple weeks. The ones Merwin found are still sticking after several months.

www.bestskinsever.com are quite frankly the best skins ever!.

I have been using screen protectors from http://www.expertshield.com on all of my phones for quite awhile now and have had no problems with them at all. They ship from Hong Kong and get to to US in less than a week. Just look at the Dopod C720w. Its the same as the dash.

i use a psp screen protector just size it myself works great ..cheep and easily availiable

Careful with the camera lens..

Had my One X for a week and already I have a couple scratches on the camera lens... I'm ultra careful with my devices too!
This is simply from just sitting my phone down as it rests on the lens..
Careful out there!

I'm thinking now that I'm going to have to order a case... I hate putting cases on my phones... Especially the one x as it's pretty huge as is..
What case did you order?

My only gripe with this phone is that there is no protective ring around the camera.
You need a case with this phone unless you want scratches on the camera lens. Kind of a bummer cause I prefer my phones naked.

i didnt order one yet, at&t around here is getting the One X(L) the 6th of May which is coming up so once that comes in i'll get a case from there. Amazon retailers had ugly cases and they said 18-26 days shipping to the states. F that noise.
p.s. i hate cases too, i might have bought a case when i acquired the phone but i figured the lens was set inside the metal ring more and that the gorilla glass would hold up but after seeing someone on these forums with a shattered screen already, i am not taking any chances.

There appear to be two protector screens on the market that come with a protector for the lens. I tried ordering both. The Nillkin from piyobaby on fleabay has been a noshow since being ordered on April 13 despite an email to the vendor and I will probably have to dispute payment. The Martin Fields came through Amazon and seems fine to me, though I did see an allusion to failed application elsewhere on these boards. So ymmv, but I think trying to keep the lens from scratching is worth the effort.

I picked up a case for this very reason. Got a shell case on Amazon for $5.00 and it seems to do a great job protecting the nipple,

Yeah i'l ultra careful with my phone too and i place it on a soft surface everysingle time and still got the scratch, it's crazy.

At home i rest it on the leather couch arm
At work i rest it on a notepad
any other time its in my pocket
In the car i have one of those non slip gel mats.
Had mine 6 weeks now and, touch wood, nothing done to it.

This is my biggest fear as well.
I dont care about the non-removable battery or no sd-card, neither if the SGS3's Exynos processor wipes the floor with Tegra 3.
But this Camera Design is really off the charts. I received my One X yesterday and only carried it in my really clean jeans pocket without anything else. Tiny scratches already. Think that a screen protector will noticeably lower camera quality in various situations.

I thought I had a scratch the other day but it came off.
When I put my phone down it is always on top of my official htc leather case, seems to be doing ok so far, touch wood.

Interesting conversation, but my Martin Fields protector seems to be doing fine re the lens. Just a couple of points: this is an 8 mp phone camera. No special claims about the lens glass quality,although one aspect that very much attracted me is that it shoots at f2. The software is not Lightroom quality and even if it were, the camera makes no pretentions to shooting raw. Even on a supposedly high-quality camera like my Leica, with not exactly cheap lenses, you would shoot raw to maximize the possibility of achieving a high quality output. If shooting in a dark environment and using a flash, your photo can still come out looking unevenly lit, hazy, etc., depending on a lot of factors. If you choose to shoot without a flash, well, not all cameras do well at their highest claimed ISO, which is one reason that people use tripods with a lower ISO and slower shutter speed.
I prefer not having to deal with a scratched lens that could end up ruining every photo to occasionally dealing with some of the effects of glare/flare, etc. Which is one of the reasons I finally caved and decided a couple of my Leica and dslr lenses needed protective filters - and purists will often tell you that even the best "interfere" with the lens.
Try shooting without the flash whenever possible. At f2, this little phone camera can do more than you think and actually produces better (imo) colors.

there are cases on ebay (uk) for £1.25 free p+p that stick out just above the camera so it wont touch anything.

After a month of use I too have a few scratches on the lens glass around the rim. Nothing to compromise the capture quality yet, but it is clear that this issue will progress without protective measures.
I have been quite careful with the device, carrying it in my pocket without anything else, and now and then putting it on a table. Seems like in incredibly bad engineering solution to make both screen and back cover scratch resistant, yet let the camera lens be compromised so easily, plus placing it right where the phone inavitably contacts any surface it rests on.

I have scratches on ly lens as well. I now put a bit of protection foil over it, which I can replace.

I have scratches as well. I have been really carefull with my phone. The scratches are just from setting it down and thats it. It amazes me that they made the lens design like this. Having the Ring stick out a tad further would have prevented all of this.
I just started using a pouch as I dont like the normal cases. Sometimes I still need to set my phone down and dont want to put it back in the pouch if its going to be for a second.
Thinking about buying the the HTC flip case. Unfortunately they only have it in white and I have the black phone.

Guys are you sure you have a scratch in the camera lens or just a light reflection from inside the Camera because this what I used to think for the past three weeks until last night I was cleaning My Hox and I realized its not a scratch its just a light reflection coming from inside the camera I even told my brother to check it and he said the same thing.

Spigen Slim Armor View for Nexus 5

Check out my video review on the Spigen Slim Armor View:
https://wwwyoutube.com/watch?v=Kqc0gUDvueU
One thing I forgot to mention in the video is the auto sleep/wake function. This allows the screen to sleep just like with regular usage. When you wake the phone using the standby button the app will still be running.
I do not have enough posts to place an external link in a thread, so you will have to put a dot after the www in the link.
It would be great if someone could post the proper link.

Here you go, embedded it for you.
Very well done review! Nice detail and the video is super clear.

the app is on the playstore its called slim view cover and spigen is releasing there own app on 05/01

Not to dig up too old a topic, but anyone have thoughts on the new app if it actually came out? I've been holding off buying this until the Spigen app released.

Their app really really sucks. I don't know why I thought it'd be good. Mostly all of their products suck I'm kinda happy with the case but still have issues with it. Under the window its still plastic not rubber so the plastic is resting right on the screen and the front cover is really thin and it bugs me just because I can press down on it and it will touch the screen. I don't have a screen protector on it so this is a concern. Its alright but I'll definitely be looking for a new case. Hard to hold while texting and the hinge is kinda crappy. They say 360° but I don't see how they got 360 when that means a complete rotation. It flips on its back and that's only 180°. But at least it doesn't cover the camera.

Again to dig up the old topic...
but...
... no reason to start a new thread as anyone looking to buy this case should be able to find all opinions in one place.
I bought this case have extremely mixed feelings.
1, it's a great case. It fits well. The buttons require a little extra effort to push, but no big deal. Supposedly the flip cover is removable, but I haven't seen how to do it without breaking the hinge. I'm sure it can be done, but I'm afraid to push things. Definitely it makes the phone bigger and heavier, but I don't see that as a bad thing as honestly the phone is a featherweight without a case. One minor issue with the physical build, is that the bottom edge of the view window brushes the screen of the phone while closed. Being plastic, I'm sure it wouldn't affect the glass screen. However, it does appear to be starting to leave a worn spot on the screen protector of my phone after only a few weeks. Something to definitely think of if you use plastic screen protectors.
2, the software is incredibly incredibly terrible. Whether you use 3rd party or the official Spigen app, they both bite the big one. I can't review each separately because I swapped between them constantly as new problems appeared, and forgot which one had which problems. But problems included: battery usage. phone calls not answering. phone calls answering themselves. can't connect bluetooth outgoing calls without opening flip cover. randomly lists previous calls as still ongoing. Additionally, though this isn't technically software, you have to be exceedingly careful not to even get near the proximity sensor while using the phone or it will trigger the app. Even with a 2 second proximity delay, I found it was very hard especially in landscape mode (such as taking pictures) to not accidentally trigger the sensor. Also, having the light sensor covered renders auto brightness non functional.
In the end, I still use the case. But without proper software support, I'm not sure it is worth $45. I ended up just putting widgets on my homescreens on the top 1/2 of the screen so I can see them with the flip cover closed. Answering the phone requires the ol' open the flip cover deal. That's better than the terrible software.
As far as protection... considering my Nexus 4 shattered from a drop onto dirt, despite having a Ringke Hybrid Fusion installed, I was looking for better protection. It appears this offers much better protection. It has already survived a 3 foot drop, initiated by a cranky cat, from a piano to a hardwood floor. Only time will tell, of course.
If you don't mind NOT having the software support... I feel this might just be the safest your Nexus 5 can be without placing it in a firesafe filled with expanding foam.

My buddy ordered this case a while ago, loved it, then hated it. Some of you were concerned about the view window touching the screen and potentially scratching it, well it did, for him at least. He now has a dull line across the middle of his screen. Almost the whole width. This only took 2 weeks of use. Just a little FYI for those interested in this case. You'll definitely want to use a screen protector with it.

Yeah my screen got deep scratches as well I can see them on the otherwise of my now installed screen protector. Its a nice case. Terrible window. And terrible app. The Galaxy S4 view armor had glass in the case itself. I bought this because I thought it did too.

I have bombed spigen's email with complaints and they do not even bother to reply - it's such a shame that a company would make a great case, with promises of a functioning app and not follow through. My brother (note 3) and my gf (S4) BOTH bought this case on my recommendation and they love it bc it just works. I know it's different bc we dont have the magnets to trigger the innerworkings but sheesh just give us something relatively useful and it would be okay.

I'd be willing to give a little pass on the proximity sensor issues if those were the ONLY issues.

Sooo, spigen supplys the case but no app?
Or does anyone have more info then that, i ordered the case before i read up on it in here... and now i have it laying on my desk and i am not sure if i sould unpack it or not.
Without the app the window is pointless... and i could have ordered the slim armor instead and saved a few bucks ...
but i really liked the idea of having my screen protected by a secon layer of defense .. first one is obviously a screen foil ...
can anyone confirm that the app is really missing or am i just to stupid to use the search function?

[Q] Need help with choosing accesories etc.

Hey guys!
I'm going to buy Sony Xperia Z1 Compact soon. I felt in love with this phone as I don't like having a brick in my pocket.
I want to buy some accesories in the same time as the phone so I'm thinking about them right now and have some questions.
I would like to buy some case for it and also a tempered glass screen protector. (maybe it's too much but even if it's quite cheap for me - special mobile op offert - I still want to not damage it very fast.) My current phone is Xperia Arc (have it for 2+ years now ) it is awesome but now too laggy and have cracks everywhere..
So can someone give me a hand with choosing accesories? Will they work fine etc.
What I would like to buy and what I found.
- magnetic charger (http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/3x-xperia-z3-z3-compact-z2-magnetic-charging-cables-black-p49789.htm - it says its for z2/z3 but was under z1c section.. )
- case (http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/flexiframe-hybrid-sony-xperia-z1-compact-fusion-case-black-p46817.htm - think it is alright)
- tempered glass screen protector ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Sony-Xp...Tempered-Glass-Screen-Protector-/151238961204 )
So I'll be greatfull is someone will give an opinion on these products or suggest better one.
--------------------------------------------------
My other question is - Are there any must have mods, things I'll want to install ( or apps) ?
I'm sure I'll get rid of these on screen buttons and replace them with gestures.
Should I install a rom or stick with fabric android ? If yes which one ?
Thanks you very much for reading and for any tips!
And please bare with my english its late and I'm not a native

For the products:
- Magnetic charger: A good way of charging the Z1c. But you should really invest some money in this one. I bought 2 cheap ones and it took like 8 hours to charge my phone. I don't have a link to my current one now. It still charges slower than micro USB though. The link you posted seems to be a quality product. At least its expensive But be aware that it might still charge your phone slower than your average micro USB.
Also: magnetic chargers are not made for charging the phone while using it. If you get a call and your phone is on the magnetic charger it will definitely disconnect. So its more a product for charging the Z1c over night.
- Case: Not a fan of cases AT ALL for this phone. Like you said - The main focus of the Z1c is that it is compact. A case ruins that for me. As to your choice: Be careful. The plastic back of such cases scratches REALLY easy. So like after 2 weeks of use you will have a milky back on your phone due to scratches.
Source: had the same one once - threw it away after 2 weeks
- Tampered glass: You cannot really do anything wrong here. For me this is the best way of protecting this phone. Consider using tampered glass for front AND back. Then you can forget about the case.
For the "must-have" mods:
The great thing about Android is that you can modify it like you want. Therefore there are no "must-have" mods. Some people like hiding the onscreen keys, some don't.
So its really up to you. Just spend some time in the mods section here in the forum or search some Xposed modules and you will find your perfect setup.
Same goes for ROMs.
PS: Good choice on the Z1c though - it's a great phone

Oh thank didn't know that it charges that way. Also product in the link it's 3 charging cables so even if one will broke I still have 2 ^^
The main reason that I'd like to buy a magnetic charger is to try not to open plugs to dont have any problems with waterproofness.
I think it's not a problem with z1c awesome battery life :3 Gonna just charge it everynight.
Ikr but I'm also a bit scared of damaging it or scratching.. But the glass will do its work on back of the phone?
I think the set from my link is also for the back. ( as seen on the pic)
Okay so I'm just gonna look at mod sections
I think I'm gonna stay with fabric android for now and just install some lil mods like this 4k one
Also can't wait to play with themes, app icons and different widgets :3
Thank you very much !
Yeah I'm soooo hyped about it ^^ As a lil audiophile I'd finally have all music in one place for all ocsasions.. (64 GB <3)

This is how mine is set up:
I have several cases, but usually keep mine in a Bando power case. Battery life is already good on the phone, but I'm prepared to last for a couple of days if it's ever necessary. On the back of the case is a Minisuit Tactic (search Amazon) which is a pocket and elastic handstrap. This allows me to use the phone one-handed securely, even holding it upside down. The phone can be attached to my rear view mirror via the strap when using GPS. I have tempered glass on the front of the phone. Obviously, my phone is no longer very compact, so I keep it in a holster which I got from the flea market, rather than carry it in my pocket. Running stock rom, modified with Xposed, with black wallpaper. I have lots of music and music apps on mine and use bluetooth receivers at home, work and music studio.

If you get the chance, look at the skinomi skins. I have one for the back of my phone. It stops the back from being scratched easily and looks really good too.

Thanks guys!
Skinomi skins looks realy nice :> This carbon one is cool ^^ not sure if really though..
But i think I'm gonna stay with a case on the back (maybe later will change it to glass or smth) and of course glass on the front
Cant wait for my phone to arrive !!

For me:
1. I use dock magnetic charger. But I used to use microusb to magnetic charger from ebay.
2. I don't use case, but I use phone strap. It save my phone from dropped to the floor when it slipped from my hand several time.
3. USe screen protector for front. You can use a skin or screen protector for the back. From what I heard, the back scratched easily. I applied screen protector and skin to my phone fram day 1

Yeah I got the skinomi skin just because my back got scratched easily. I still have a terrapin case for it, but at least the back won't get inadvertently scratched anymore.

1. Put tempered glass on front.
2. Replace back plastic with Glass.
3. Get any magnetic charger of your choice.
Don't get case as most of them downgrade the amazing look of Z1C.

This is a bit of a necropost, but do you lose waterproofing by replacing the back with the glass one?

You might want to ask this question in the thread which originally handled this topic. I think you can find it in the Accessories section of the forum.
I don't know if it affects the water resistance of the phone but one thing is for sure: if you DO change the back yourself and you get a water damage, it will be hard to make any sort of warranty claim.

Giving OnePlus one last shot. A few queries for you guys if you will.

Due to their "generous" 15 day return policy. ive decided to buy a Op5t 8gb black version. After being so frustrated with my OP5 I'm going to try the latest and greatest from OnePlus and see if it improves what i want the most from a smartphone. Some damn reception.
So I strongly beleive my OP5 has faulty antennae bands. One speed test I will have a 50mbps download 30 upload then the next test just seconds after will be .23mbps down and 0.01 upload. I have the feeling they short out or something. So i grabbed a friend who is on tmobile and asked him to constantly test alongside me to see if it was the area not just the phone. He constantly tested 50MBPS or better while i shifted from good to god awful. His dBm signal was always significantly better as well.
With that laid out I have questions about this device.
1. How's the telephony of this guy? Good reception? good signal? Are your data speeds always nearly capped out or as high as possible in peak times?
2. Is the battery good? I see the screen consumes some more energy than the 5 does mainly because it is larger. But is it really noticeably decreased?
3. Is the face unlock secure after all? It seems a bit too fast for its own good but does that actually mean it is secure in the end?
4. Are there wifi issues like the 5 had?
5. How is the camera upgrade? Is it really good, or just a "meh" upgrade? Or is it an upgrade at all?
Lastly: Might be my own experience, but I've never cracked a phone screen before but my OP5 is cracked and scratched to hell. I never set it down and I dont have diamonds in my pockets. Is this glass panel strong? Can it stand not having a case?

Overall Good Experience
First Oneplus phone for me, I came from the nexus line up(love stock android).
1) Haven't heard any complaints from the person I'm speaking to. No complaints on my side either (T-Mobile)
2) I can sometimes get a day and a half if its light use( some texts and calls), medium use I'll probably have ~20% battery left by the end of my day. Dash charge is amazing
3) If I close my eyes or 1 eye it won't unlock, only tried 1 picture of me and it didn't unlock, and it seems like it has to have vision of at least half of your face.
You don't have to use face unlock if you don't trust it.
4) No 4g/wifi problems so far, I ran a few speed test I consistently got around 35-40 Mb (Wifi)
5) No sorry no experience with the 5, I don't pictures often, but not problem with the pictures so far.
The 5t comes with a plastic screen protector on already and a translucent case.
Hope I helped.

Thanks for the input. I was leaning toward the pixel 2 or the xperia xz1 compact. I kinda wanted a smaller phone but i had a coupon for the op5t and i felt like i should try it and return it if i dont like it. Im used to oneplus devices anf enjoy their features but on every oneplus device ive had the cell radio is pathetic. Budget phones get better signal than mine in the same area.

I also had the OP5 and, just as on the 5t, it comes delivered with a plastic screenprotector on it. I heard more people complaining about scratches on their screen but these scratches were always on this screenprotector, not on the actual screen. You hardly notice it. Did you remove it?

sadly yes. Im really not a fan of the glass on this thing. I removed that plastic after the first week when it got enough fingernail scratches on it.

Seems to be rather durable. I personally love the screen, it has a great feeling to it. Although I don't know what plastic screen protector you're talking about though - mine came without one (like Jerrys in the video did too).

Jerry clearly peels his off. They all come with a pre applied screen protector

Indeed you can see him clearly remove it from the phone at 37seconds

Wups, completely missed that part - my bad.
I also pulled off mine directly as it seems, I kept it in the box. Excitement killed my memory apparently.
