what about the quality of the initial plastic screen protection?

Not sure about quality but in my experience it felt little protective and was a true fingerprint magnet. Tempered glass on it now and it feels better.

Its just a cheap plastic one, it will prevent scratches yes but i prefer tempered glass in case i drop it and for the glass feel

Hey Dustin is it possible for you to do a review of the Orzly Fusion Case maybe?

great review. very informative. I'm wondering when they're actually going to start shipping to the US?

Hi the screen protector which comes with the phone is a normal pet one which will work fine for few days after which it become almost unsable as it will get scratched easily and is prone to finger prints.
So I would strongly advice go for a glass screen protector and till you your hands on one use the protector with which you phone came with
Also try getting a thinner protector as the thicker it is the more issue you will have using the fingerprint scanner thoug it is only a matter of getting used to

I will def be doing a review of the fusion case soon!

My Orzly glass protector does not have a hole for the front cam.

No the tempered glass ones dont, only the regular screen pros do

It feels very cheap especially if you are used to glass. Plus it gets greasy very fast. My op2 tempered ones arrive today.

Official OP2 tempered glass has a front camera cutout. And nice 2.5D sides for a smooth feel.
Comes in a very nice pack with guidance and stickers to get the job done right. Much better than cheaper eBay ones I tried so definitely worth the extra money.
I also like how the glass helps guide my finger to the fingerprint scanner by feel as it's now more inset.

Yes you are correct! The Official one and the iVoler one both have a front cam cutout! and rounded edges are a must!

Coolest Case Ever: NKOBEE For Xiaomi Mi A1 Case

Honestly this is the best looking case i ever used. This cover is soft matte case and well build. Especially cloth back is very comfortable feeling and looks durable.

Like i said, i bought it from local store man. No branding on box. Just labeled "nano glass screen protector". It's noticeable thin any other glass screen protectors.
But, this case i mentioned in first post came with screen protector like I'm using right now. Highly recommended.

I found this "glass". In fact, this is not glass, it's a thick film. However, it states on "glass" at the manufacturer's website.

As per manufacturer - Type:Front Film
And again - "...Glass Screen Protector..". so it is protector for glass screens....
Honestly why would you get gorilla glass screen in the first place if you want to put on some plastic on it?
Gorilla glass has enough scratch protection and if you plan to abuse your phone then this is not the type of phone in the first place. The film type screen protectors drop protection has always been controversial and questionable.
It's like getting a new car and putting some clothes on it to not scratch the paint and to not chip the windshield...

It's the question of "refreshness". You put $2-3 glass on top of Gorilla (which is not so scratch-resistable in fact) and trash it after 3-5 month, got new glass and fresh new screen. In case of no protector the only option you have is new LCD assembly at $50? (or fake china "compatible" LCD with poor colors and backlight). According to the fact that 3-layer glass (original gorilla+silicone adhesive+protective glass) will be definitely stronger comparison to LCD only, that's the reason to choose.
But i agree with you, >$200 phone is not the price you'll have to put a case in a case while in carrying pouch to protect it like a treasure.

I got the same case. Very nice quality. The only thing I don't like is the rough inside surface. Hopefully it won't scuff the back of the phone. It also seems slightly thicker than my other plain black case.

Got the same case good quality. Cloth back solves the problem that the bare phone is SUPER slippery and will slide off a perfectly flat surface.

Are there any problems with pressing side buttons and plugging earphones?

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Xiaomi-Mi-A1-case-cover-mi5x-back-cover-silicone-edge-fabric-shockproof-case-coque-MOFi-original/32853695069.html
I wonder how that compares to it.

How are the buttons with this case, I have one from silicon as well and they are really hard to press.

Slim (very slim) case

Broke the rear glass
Top-right corner is totally broken and there's a crack thru the whole glass.
At the moment I put some silicon on the corner to avoid pieces of glass from falling, but I need now a case, a very very very slim one.
Bought one from Amazon that was supposed to be slim but... the problem is that the cover on the two longer sides is too high, meaning it is higher than the white aluminium side. Not sure I can explain...
I'm looking for the slimmest and thinnest case that just covers the back and not much on the sides.
Any help?
Thanks

I had this one and it was the thinnest I could find. The only real protection is on the back of the phone which proved to be what I needed most. It finally cracked one morning I woke up from my couch and did a full stretch putting my phone into my ceiling fan on high. The case initially took a little get used to due to me being accustomed to the excellent grip from the cloth official Google case. In short, is worth the price, absolutely! Would I buy again, No.

I know this one, too thick and on the sides is too high

+1 to this. My favorite case, but it scares me to carry it sometimes. Super nice, super thin. Don't imagine it will protect much though.

By far the thinnest one I've owned and the way it fits around the edges is pretty flush. Fits like a glove and feels good in the hand. Not really good for protection though if you drop it, but more like a wrap to keep it from getting dinged up.
I can post a photo of mine later if you want one.

I no longer use glass screen protectors, moved to Skinomi(best screen protector I've found so far).
When I did use them, I used curved ones and the case fit EXACTLY to the edges of it. Everything fit like a glove.

Good to know. I also use film screen protectors (currently using a Sparin one, as the Spigen was sold out at the time) as they don't have the issues that tempered glass ones suffer with curved screens.

Question Outer/Cover Display Screen Protector

Can anyone recommend a tempered glass or other quality screen protector for the outer cover display? Something that you've personally used and can vouch for.
Thanks in advance!

Same. Front protector scratched on me 1st day. Also peeled up when I was opening. Need to replace.

Yep. Mine was basically destroyed on day 1 with normal use.

Whitestone has a ez screen protector and also a liquid adhered protector. I have installed ez one without trouble since a few days before official release and it's still holding strong. You also get 2 for like $10 so you can't really beat it

Looks like it might have trouble fitting properly if used with a case. The black border looks problematic. Have you used it with a case and, if so, do you have any pics or comments on that? Thanks.

I'm trying to figure out the best front screen protector as well. I would prefer tempered glass but have only seen a couple and not in stock at the moment. Still have the stock one on it but it's starting to bubble and peel/Crack on the sides.

I'm using these white stone dome front tempered glass screen protector. I got two of them for $10. They work decent with a case. But make sure it is a minimalistic case like the Samsung carbon fiber.

I am currently using samsungs silicone case and there is no problems with it coming off. Have not tried with a heavy duty case but I honestly don't see it as a problem

I got my leather case (samsung one) today and love it. However as soon as i applied it the cover screen plastic protector came off in the edge so i just removed it.
since it seems pretty thick on the inside - is there any 9h glass available yet which fits with the case? Or can i go to a samsung store and they reapply the plastic one on the cover screen?
i dont mind paying

I'm using the Whitestone glass screen protector. NOT the EZ. I've used it on all my phones since it was first released, including I Note devices and the Z Fold 2.

I use this for Extra protection

Whitestone Dome Glass UV.

I'm waiting on these to get delivered to me today actually. The stock one on my front screen is starting bubble and peel up on the side. My case kinda covers it up but the stock one is also picking up quite a few scratches. Hopefully these will do the job. Isn't that easy to fine a good tempered glass screen protector for this device. Spigen looks to be coming out with one but not available yet.

Yeah, exactly this one. My mistake I wrote EZ.
In UK is available from Amazon.

Anyone got a recommendation for a good case? Id normally use Spigen but some of their case prices are ambitious to say the least.

I'm using the Ringke Slim and I really like it. I ordered the Spigen S Pen case, but it won't ship for another week or so. Looks bigger than I'd like, but definitely need something I can switch to when I really need to carry the S Pen and don't want to have it loose in a pocket.
I also ordered the official Samsung Aramid case (which also won't arrive for another week or two). Based on the reports I've read and the pics I've seen, the Aramid appears to be the slimmest case available for the ZF3. I hate bulky cases, especially on a device that's as large as the ZF3, so I'm guessing I'll probably settle on the Aramid for 90% of my daily use.

Thanks buddy, how are you finding the ringke slim? I was keen on that until i read a few amazon reviews mentioning the case had scratched their devices? Have you had any such issue? Would be good to hear if you used the sticky pads and if they are easy/hard to remove.

Great case. No scratches. Not sure how anyone scratched their Fold with this case. You'd have to be pretty damn careless to do that. I used the adhesive strips.

Accessories OnePlus 9 Pro + Whitestone Dome + case compatibility

Just wanted a thread for information.
So...
Original case: Fits, works great, but it's a lame case. Very slippery, little protection.
Spigen Ultra Hybrid: OK. Works great with the Dome, it's not touching and installs easily. I like how it feels, good case.
Otterbox Symmetry: Works but very, very tight fit. Even normally, it's such a tight fit you are almost breaking the phone. It's a pretty weird design honestly. The front "lip" has a rubbery finish that I do not like either.
Post your experiences and I'll update the OP post!
Thank you.

That's why I believe the next best thing is like the Dome & OnePlus sandstone case. The case is minimal with an awesome grip & the dome has the feel and appearance of the original screen

I too like my phone naked without anything on it but the phone gets so many scratches and dents on the edges so I decided to install a full-body screen protector from Gadgetshieldz. The protector is very thin which I like about it and I can barely feel it on my phone. Try this instead of a case to feel the phone as it is.

I was using Whitestone dome with gray sandstone case as well. Til the Whitestone started getting dust under the edges and it cracked. I bought the 2 pack with light but they didn't give extra speaker/port stickers to apply the 2nd protector. Between spigen and rinke cases in rotation currently.

But sometimes that thin protection can tear apart and which can be very dangerous in certain climax scenarios when you are in a hurry. Moreover, some people prefer the case as it provides more grip and some even have textures and colours on them to give more pleasure to the user.

It is risky if you go with cheap brands, this one I'm using for 3 months now and there is no peeling or tear of the protector. I hate the tempered glass because it eventually breaks in a month or two so I'm going with this.
