any Seidio Innocase Snap owners? - Nexus One Accessories

My Innocase II Surface arrived today and I was excited to put it on. I had previously installed a full-body BSE skin (and since progressively removed everything but the screen protector) and using it with the neoprene sleeve.
The Surface case provides good coverage and protection however I am disappointed by how the "rails" ride up on the screen protector and essentially peels it off. I envisioned taking the case off nightly for use with the desktop dock. But with this peeling of the screen protector I may not be able to do this. Initially, I had considered the Innocase Snap but got the Surface instead because it offered more coverage. I'm now looking at the Snap again and wondering if there are any similar issues to interfering with an installed screen protector/film. I still want to use my OEM desktop dock and if the Snap allows for easy on/off without interfering with the screen protector, then I may exchange my Surface for the Snap. Otherwise, I may resize the screen protector by cutting off from both edges so that the Surface case doesn't ride on the screen protector and is in direct contact w/ the phone itself.
Can any snap owners comment?
How is the Snap case installed on a Nexus One?
THanks!

I have the same issue with a Zagg screen protector.
At this point I have looked into replacing the protector as well, since I like to case so much.

only slightly with mine. just a little "lifting" / bubble on the lower left edge of my screen protector. it's a great case though.
Any picture? Is that only if the SP is perfect size an covers every inch of the screen or it doesnt matter if the SP is a couple mm off the sides it still happens?

i have the seidio innocase ii that i purchased off Amazon last month. it definitely interferes with the screen protector as it's not flush with the screen edge and overlaps it by ~1mm. my BSE screen protector subsequently was stretched and scratched along the sides. following the advice from some posts on various forums, i sanded down the case's edges. now the case edge no longer rides along the screen edge. i have some bulk 3M laminate, which will be cut down, being shipped to replace my current BSE screen protector. also, in regards to any full body laminate "shields'/skins, it will definitely be a very tight squeeze w/ this Seidio case; i've had to remove mine except for the screen and the area by the trackball.

Bought my Innocase 2 on ebay.
My screen protector from Clarivue online.
Allow the screen protector to settle for a day and then put in the Innocase.
No bubbles on mine whatsoever. Also considering I've taken the case off for like 30plus times already probably.
Does anybody know if Seidio makes cases to go over their extended batteries? I do not see one (yet) for the Nexus, but they have a banner saying to look for new and exciting accessories.

But does it interfere with the SP, does it mess it up?
Anybody???
i've attached some photos of my phone and case. sorry for the poor photos as i tried to take it in macro mode w/o flash and i have no tripod. also, bear in mind that these are pictures after i had sanded the case edge.
the first pic is with the case on. i tried to highlight how the edge of case meets the screen edge. the second and third, with the case off, exhibit the Best Skin Ever screen protector and how it was affected by the case. when i put on the Seidio case initially the, ridge/rail on the case (seen in the fourth photo), scratched the protector and caused it to peel.
keep in mind, i also had a laminate on the battery cover at that point so it was a bit of a tight squeeze as the case is designed to fit the N1 very well. however, even after removing the skin from the battery cover, putting the case on/off still caused the screen protector to peel. if you're only installing the case once and don't intend to remove it frequently, i guess you this issue may not bother you. however, i wanted to remove my case (or at least slide it open) every night to charge w/ the N1 dock.
i subsequently sanded the edge of the case (4th pic). i sanded the side and posterior aspects with some sand paper. now, sliding the case on/off does not affect the screen protector and i have some new laminate being shipped to replace the current one (although it works fine).
i hope that helps!
thanks man i really appreciated.

Screen Protectors

I just bought some Terrapin screen protectors off Amazon and they are terrible. Already scratched up just from wiping it down once. Does anyone have any recommendations on some screen protection? I would rather use the dry/cling style and not the wet type. I have the MyBat screen protector for my SGSII and love it, but it appears they only make protection for the 10.1.
Thanks for the advice!!
Bought two @folix screen protectors from Amazon few weeks back. They are very easy to install, exactly the size of the screen (with a hole in the camera lens area). I feel it reduces the fingerprint smudges but think it's also just a bit more difficult to wipe the screen fully clear. I cannot see any difference on the image with or without this foil.
I am considering ZAGG invisibleSHIELD to protect my Galaxy Tab 8.9, but is it really necessary? The glass itself is reinforced and resistant to scratches.

What Plastic Screen Protectors are you using on the Note 4?

What Plastic Screen Protectors are you using on the Note 4? I'm under the notion that typical PET film is compatible with most cases.
I got the Zagg HDX screen protector and I'm pretty happy with it. I was hoping for tempered glass, but I don't think that's going to happen any time soon. The HDX protector was easy to install and it feels great. No issues with s-pen making divots or marks so far (been about a week of use).
INITIALLY... like immediately after you put it on, it feels a bit "sticky" when you run a finger over it. Just clean it off though and it's fine. Must be some residual "sticktion" from the films that cover the film prior to install.
+1 for the Zagg HDX. It's more expensive, but well worth it. The glass protectors look funky on this phone, and you can barely tell the Zagg is on there except for the somewhat sharp edge. I usually go without a protector, but the Note 4 is VERY scratchable... I had several light scratches in the coating that could only be seen in the right light only after a few days of use, so I had to get the protector.
I can rest-assure you its very hard not to get even the tiniest scratch on the shiny metal portions of the Note 4 especially the first time you put the phone in a case. When buying new, the device jostles while in transit, and I've seen scratches in areas where no one will see; that's just me.
Is the HDX as thin as one of those cheap plastic screen protectors found on eBay?
The HDX is a little thicker than the cheap ones. It's a multi-layer construction and provides impact resistance. It's still thin and flexible enough that it handles the slight curve at the edge of the screen and doesn't halo or anything. AND... I'm using the Samsung case and it works with that perfectly.
I'm currently using the iCarez film protector and it does not fit with my Seidio Surface case because it's too thick. Has a bubble in the lower left corner I can't get rid of and when I put the phone in my Akron Mega Grip car mount the side arms cause a large bubble on the left side. Not sure how thick it is but hoping for better results with the Zagg HDX which is 1 mm thick. Also don't like S Pen feel with the iCarez film.
I've been using Spigen Steinheil screen protectors since I first got a Motorola OG Driod. The Steinheil have always been durable and protective of my screens. I have a Spigen Steinheil Crystal screen protector on my Note 4. It works well and doesn't interfere with the native screen. They come 3 in a pack.

Suggestion for screen protection and case

Hi,
Just got a 8.4 Tab S and Samsung keyboard.
Please suggest a good screen protector (either plastic or tempered glass) that I can easily in Canada (either online or store).
I will also need a case that can fit the tablet/keyboard with a stylus holder.
Thanks in advance.
I have this glass screen protector. No complaints.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010BUKH1K
I am not sure about the case, I use the Samsung snap on flip cover and love it but it wouldn't accommodate your keyboard. As far as screen protectors go I have a Zagg and I love it, they have always been my favorite and if the protector ever gets damaged they replace it for you.
I'm using a tempered glass from Japan + flip plastic casing.
Dropped my tablet from knee height few weeks back and my screen didn't crack.
Previously I had other tablets without a tempered glass and the screen broke easily.
So a tempered glass is def a must-have for glass protection.
Happy with my Beetle case and Tempered glass protector on my Tab S 10.5..All from Amazon...and less than 30 bucks combined....
With the beetle case I removed the built in screen proctector due to the ugly rainbow effect...
Can't say enough good things about both of these items for the 8.4" Tab S
intelliARMOR tempered glass
Although you asked about one that also holds a keyboard, if you opt for one that is for the tablet only this is a great one. MoKo Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 Case
I'd post links and did actually, but my post count is less than 10 so you'll have to do the leg work yourself on Amazon.
I went with the book cover hence no screen protector required
I bought the Beetle case myself yesterday, it has to ship all the way from the US to the UK, so it was not as cheap as yours, what tempered screen protector did you buy, though i am not the best as installing them.

I purchased the Anoke brand from amazon..cost me 11 bucks..
No problem installing a tempered glass, it's real easy compared to a regular wet install non tempered one..
You just peel away the adhesive side and line it up carefully and lay it on the tablet, then just touch the center of the screen, it will do the rest, you then remove any excess aIr bubbles with the included cloth, no mess , no fuss...
Can the built in screen protector be removed without damage so it can be used with the case in the future?
I have an tempered screen protector, but it came with some of the adhesive around the edge damaged and i got a refund, but it looks like this case the bezel is covered so it might not be seen, so i might be able to use it.
Thanks

Yes, Just use a razor blade to loosen one end.
Its basically glued with a very light film, so it will peel off quite easily.....
But honestly when you see the ugly oily rainbow effect it has you will probably never want to put it back on...
I will see what it look like, and if it`s bad i will get an tempered glass screen protector, do you know what the weight of the beetle case, I cannot seem to find it, even on the supcase website or amazon, does it add a lot of weight? EDIT: Is is it 7oz approx 200g ???
Thanks
John.

It does add noticeable weight to the tabet but nothing that would cause any issues, for me I like the added weight, The Tablet s was so light I felt I was holding nothing and was afraid of dropping it everytime I picked it up.
Now I have something I feel comfortable caring around ..
I got my case yesterday, I cannot see any rainbow effect, did you remover the protective plastic from the inside of the screen before installing it.
Though the built in screen protector is an fingerprint magnet.

Yes,
Glad yours is working out..
Only issue I have thus far with further use is there is no kickstand on the case, but I have a portable tablet stand arriving tomorrow which should fix that problem...
Will let you know how it works out...
Ok got my Tablet portable stand from Amazon today, very sturdy and works great, has lots of different angle settings to fit your needs.. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CKVOOY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
It also will hold the tablet regardless of what case you use to house it..
As you can see I have the heavy duty Beetle case and it fits perfectly....
Stand opened and ready for use.
Tablet resting on the stand with front and back views.
On stand along with the Samsung Bluetooth keyboard...
If you want a stand that will fit in your bag or pocket for quick use this is the one you want.

Went back to the Defender after using the Armadillotek

I've been using the Armadillotek case for my Note 9 for a couple weeks now. I really like the case overall but decided to switch back to my Defender for now.
First, the built in screen protector doesn't quit sit totally flush because of teh curved glass. This causes it to have a tiny bit of air gap which dust and dirt gets underneath and drives me nuts, plus with the Kickstand it leave the phone exposes a but when you use it allowing dirt to get in there.
Also, the sides of this case are raised which is great! gives more protection but also allows dirt and grime to collect on the sides.
I really like the case and eventually might just rip the protector out. I might try the Poetic Revolution and Supcase Unicorn Beetle out but I'm sure the screen protector will be crappy too and I'll just rip it out.
I can see why Otterbox ditched the built in protector for the curved phones.
They tried it with the S7 Edge. With the S7 edge it fit VERY snug to the phone so no dirt got under it BUT screen responsiveness was atrocious with it. Just terrible.
I might order the orange Armadillo because I like the color but for sure will rip the protector out on one of them and save the other for when I want a screen protector in certain situations.
I ripped the screen protector out as well. Very easy to take off and makes it perfect for me.
I ripped off the screen as well, worth it. I have the white glass dome on my phone, gives me protection already.
Thing I don't like about Armadillotek and "tough" cases like them is that too often their designs are so gaudy. That's why I like the Commuter (and even Defender). They're mature-looking. Pretty understated. Low-key, kinds of cases.
Thanks for the information...
I just simply rip off the plastic protector, and install tempered glass one.
Now I can it tough
I like the defender but I hate the holster. I've used the seidio surface holster for years now and it's far superior IMO. Wish I could find a holster like the surface one for the defender.
