i've been looking around for a thin case for my new evo.
i just ordered a barely there case b/c it was the thinnest with camera protection. all the cases i've read about or see online do one or the other. either protect the camera or add too much bulk in the front (or doesn't protect the camera lens).
has anyone found a case that has a slight "lip" to protect the lcd when laying it down lcd down AND also covers up the camera "ring" when laying it down camera down?
or is this just too much to ask?
The Incipio Edge is probably the thinnest that provides both protections. I had the Seidio Innocase for a while, it was rather thin and protected both. I just wish the Edge and the Barely There came in colors other than pink and black. I really don't want my phone to look like a Hot Topic fat chick circa 2002.
I don't know if the Ringke Rearth cases add bulk but they definitely have a lip to protect the lcd and also have your camera covered.
I used to use the barely there, but I stopped because I got an extended battery, and will not be going back to it because I don't like that it creates tiny scratches on the sides.
I have an Amzer tpu argyle case. Its very nice, good fit, rubbery bit not sticky, face and camera protection. Found it at amazon for about $10. It looked semi-scuffed when I opened it but I cleaned it with windex amd after a couple days the scuffs dissapeared

You can also grab them on ebay too. I have a TPU case on my EVO, it is perfect.

I used this case for a while before getting a hard one. I thought it protected the phone pretty well.

Nice case. Thanks
has anyone found a case that has a slight "lip" to protect the lcd when laying it down lcd down AND also covers up the camera "ring" when laying it down camera down?
The Rearth Rinke case is what you're looking for. Protects both the camera and lcd. Only adds about 2mm to the width of the phone. Fit, finish and attention to detail are perfect. Even a cutout for the HTC logo on the back. Not flimsy on the sides like the Otterbox Impact.

Check out the ebay cases I posted
is there any type of screen protector material for the chrome on the camera? I hear it gets scratched very easily
Maybe Zagg will make one. Most reviewers see how it scratches so easy.
AT&T will sell the Zagg full body at least. I'm going to try to cut out a custom fit from reg screen protector.
That's a pretty small piece to protect. Knowing Zagg, it'll be $10 + shipping for just that piece.
Alternatively, you can get a silicon skin for the whole phone which I heard fits pretty snug and doesn't add a lot of bulk.
I just bought the gel case and it keeps the back of the phone off the objects you lay it on

People just cut out a piece of clear packaging tape and put it over then chrome! I did just that

I used Incipio case and so far the chrome hasn't been scratched even though it's not completely covered.
food wrap film will do it
I bought the skinomi carbon fiber full body screen protector. It protects every part of the phone including the chrome. Got if from amazon. Might be something to consider.

Awesome idea.... Gonna go and do that now. Thanks man!
The store employees repeatedly offered me a "cleaning pad" that stuck to the back side of the phone. They put it on the camera metal. They would come take it off to wipe the screen and then just replace it on the back over the camera metal again.
I just got the Skinomi carbon fiber full body screen protector, and slapped it on. It looks good, but the quality of the clear screen protector is pretty bad. Not as noticeable when the phone is on, but could be much better. The warranty is lifetime, so I might get another. The carbon look parts look really good, and should protect against normal use.
. Ps, the clear screen protector hadn't dried yet. Now it looks fine. The carbon look is pretty cool..
The guys on this thread who have the Skinomi full body protectors, can you post some photos of it applied to the phone?
I'm in the UK and have a white 900,so I want to see which bits of the phone don't get covered by the skin as the bright white would be very noticable if there are fitment gaps.
I'm actually on my 2nd handset in a week as the buttons on the first one were loose and rattly. However, on that first handset the camera chrome got scuffed in just 2 days even though I kept the phone wrapped in a screen cleaning cloth. I've left the OEM protective film on my new one until I have something permanent, just like the OP has asked for.
As selection of colours for a chrome protector would be cool too. Hopefully someone will come up with this on eBay before long In the meantime I'll cut up a 'generic' screen protector into a make-shift skin for the chrome.
IGG full body protector also covers the chrome on the camera. The only cutout on the back cover is for the camera lens hole and the LED flash hole.
I'm using mine under the black cover so the shiny look isn't a bother for me. Just looking to protect the back from being scratched by the case (or debris that gets between the OEM case and the phone body) which I've seen happen on an N9.
I'm going to make one from a spare screen protector I have. I've just checked an the camera hole is the same size as you get from a hole-punch....so I've got a screen protecter here with me in the office today
Here's my temporary solution, a Nokia cover, a strip of electrical tape and a hole punch.
I'll try to get a decent one cut out so that I don't need to cover it up with the bumper. I may also see if a printing company I've worked with in the past would be able to knock up a few sheets of clear, single-coloured and maybe patterns or designs. Chances are it'll be too expensive, but it can't hurt to ask the question.
Bleh. The chrome on my camera is all scratched up. I hate how it's curved.
Been hunting around ebay/google looking for a screen protector for the lens of the Galaxy S3.
So far I have one of the SGP old Galaxy S lens protectors which kind of fits. I've had the phone three weeks and this lens protector already is a bit scratched. So I feel a proper fitting one might be useful.
What I've found so far:
Martin Fields:
http://www.martinfields.com/JP/Martin-Fields-Overlay-Plus-Screen-Protector-Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-
+ Heard reasonable reviews.
- Expensive.
- Only one lens protector in the kit? Two in the kit.
Rock:
http://www.miniinthebox.com/perfect...ctor-for-samsung-galaxy-s3-i9300_p344489.html
(also on ebay)
+ Cheap
+ Comes with 9 lens protectors
- Looks like the lens protectors come in different sizes and are round.
iMak:
http://www.cbay.co.nz/iMak Ultra Crystal Film for Samsung Galaxy S3
+ Cheap
+ Comes with properly fitted lens protector
- What the hell is cbay?
Nillkin:
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2373012/all
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nillkin-ANT...464?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4604de3258
+ Cheap
- Forum post says it comes with a lens protector, ebay doesn't mention it.
Edit: looks like it might include it.
- eBay versions do not include the lens protector.
Best Skins Ever:
http://www.bestskinsever.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-skin
+ Fairly cheap
+ They're the best skins... ever? ;D
- One lens protector included
- polyurethane - (orange peel?)
Cut your own:
http://your scissors .com
+ Cheap
- Accuracy
- Effort
Anyone seen or tried any other protectors that come with a camera lens protector also?
And I know it'll slightly degrade picture quality. Not really important to me - I'd rather a scratch free lens and the ability to put the phone in my pocket.
Best Skin Ever full body skins also includes one lens protector per set IINM.
Not sure how polyurethane film (BSE) is gonna influence pictures taken vs a piece of thin plastic though (normal SPs).
I just cut up a screen protector and stuck it over the lens and works as well as anything I could buy.
Stick a piece of clear scotch tape.
I just cut up one of my SGP Ultra Nano Clears for my GSIII. There a 3 pack and only needed one so..
In the past I've used the cutouts from the bestskinever full body skins. Apply wet for best results applying pressure with your finger for a short while so it sits firmly on the lens and metal trim around the lens without lifting at the joint. After a short curing time, gently rub it smooth with your finger or cleaning cloth to remove any fingerprint indentations left behind. .
They worked great. They're precut, No orange peel effect, smooth and I didn't notice any alterations to photos ASLONG AS YOU TAKE CARE OF IT. The problem is that since the material is soft, you have to be weary of where you place your phone down. It can show indentations and such which can alter your photos.

Depends on how deep your scratches are, but for the most part yes.
Anyone using one? I can't seem to find any
Probably there are none, but you should try the screenprotector 'pack' of nilliken. They provide a regular screenprotector for the back and a tempered one for the screen.
They are available, especially from China (ebay/aliexpress). I have ordered a Nillkin pack, comes with front glass, rear film and camera film (+ the cleaning accessories). The thing with back glass covers is that they may impair cases-hence I avoid them.
Yeah I can only find rear films but no glass for the back
Afaik, MK makes them along with front glass. https://folie-ochronne.3mk.pl/pl/p/OnePlus-X-One-1003-Przod-i-Tyl-3mk-ARC/14691

I have had those and that is bad idea right now. That foils is very soft and flexible and you can easly peel it off by accident. Wait till next year, they told me that they will improve them and they will send me another one (first one does not stick at edges so well). Then i will reply and tell you if its worth or not. After 07.01.2016
Anyone found any rear glass protectors? Bored of using a case...
Instead of back tempered glass, one alternative is skin
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"?

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.
