Hi everyone, I recently got the Xperia Z1 and I love it! I was looking for a good case to protect it, but there are so many that I'm not sure what to buy. Last week the phone accidentally fell to the floor because it was vibrating, luckily the phone is ok, but the front glass cracked and needs to be replaced. So now I'm looking for some good protection.
It would be great to hear your opinions about which protections do you think is best.
Thanks a lot for the help!

Get a tempered glass screen protector. And my friendly tip, tempered glass on front, a film back protector (on the back obviously) and then get a case the covers the WHOLE SIDE OF THE PHONE, INCLUDING the bottom and top parts. trust me. I had a case on and my phone still got a dent near the earphone jack when it fell on a very rough surface from chest height. If you want full protection for the sides and corners, get a case that wraps around the phone. maybe a bumper. The film protector and tempered glass will take care of the front and back.
P.S.
I use a Illumishield screen protector for the back, and a Alibaba Tempered Glass protector on the front (9H Hardness).
thanks for the tips! I'll look for a case and a tempered glass protector
I agree with mahalkosijoy.
Get a tempered glass for the front screen. Protective film for the back is optional. For me, it is much better to get a hard back cover like CapDase. Be mindful on the slot for the camera and flash when buying cases as this can affect your image like flashbleeds on the captured image.
thanks for all the help. I'm having a really bad time with this. I had to buy the replacement for the display+lcd on the web because nobody has it where I live, it was quite expensive. I took the phone to a technician to install it, and the screen seems to be failing, it turns on, all black, and some fine vertical lines. I contacted the seller, but he won't give me a new one, said warranty is void after you try to install it.
Really sad

I have never gone to such depth of z1, but something tells me that the lcd is not correctly connected
I thought the same, the lcd might not be connected properly, but I don't know about this, so I had to trust the technician. I sent the piece back and we'll see if I can get a replacement.

wrong connectionsare possible, even if there is a bus cable
I have a new cover from a popular China e-shop, but
how to glue it back ? What kind of glue it should be?
thanks in advance!
-------
Edit:
Some back covers are sold with the glue already applied,
like on a sticker.
Thread can be closed as solved.
Hi Guys,
I ordered the sandstone back cover with the 5t as I read on the oneplus forums that the back cover that comes with the phone removes or messes up the paint. TBH the sandstone one sucks too. Is there a cover that does not mess up with the phone's body? Also is there any good tempered glass which can be applied even if there is a cover?
Thanks

I bought and applied this stickers for protection since we don't have gorilla glass protection on the back to avoid scratches and small dents
I had a OnePlus 6 with such a sticker form the previous owner and it really didn't look good. It gave a dirty feel to the back of the phone too, wouldn't recommend such stickers - just get a case.

If the back has gorilla glass then case is enough ?
Btw its not really a sticker, more like screen protector that sticks on smooth surfaces so it doesn't have sticky residue when it peel off.
Could you share links to buy skins in Europe? Because I have not found. Preferably because it bothers me to wait 3 weeks for a simple piece of plastic. thank you
The Xiaomi Mi 10 is undoubdtedly a great phone. Arguably the best camera on any phone (I didn't see any difference with the Mi 10 Pro so opted for the Mi 10 with its bigger battery instead).
However, in most regions the Mi 10/pro do not come with pre-installed screen protectors. Having used the Mi A2 which has the GG5, I feel the Mi 10 can be used without a screen protector confidently. The provided case is thick and deep, and the glass won't get easily scratched if the phone is handled with care. Just be careful not to keep it with coins or keys to avoid scratches and be very careful not to drop the phone.
GG5 by its very nature can resist even deep scratches but a little common sense will go a long way.
I live in Portugal and my Xiaomi Mi 10 brought a plastic film to the screen, it is not the best, but it is better than having nothing ..
I walk in a fight to find the best tempered glass, but there are many people saying that they stick only to the sides, if anyone knows something, please share.

UV tempered glass sticks perfectly, Try that thing.

I think isn't an easy install and isn't easy clean the glue if you broke the class.
Uv tempered glass works fine. Does not leave any residue after removing it from the phone.
Did any of you found a good screen protector that is case friendly? Thanks!
