Seidio Innocase II???, Any retail stores... - Nexus One Accessories

Is the seidio innocase II case still interfering with the screen protector?
Any retail stores carrying any brand name cases? (nyc)
Also anybody with actual pics of anti-glare SPs please share i currently have a mirror SP but im looking in to a anti-glare,
(anti-glare protectors make it so that people next to you arent able to see anything right?)
*If anybody wants to help me out i am undecided on a case between the innocase II or the tough case (case-mate) or the gelli case (case-mate) any actual pics of any of these cases would be greatly appreciated pros an cons also just any feedback from actual owners would be good...(i have done plenty research on these cases an im still undecided so any help would be appreciated well its not help more like suggestions thanks...)

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.

Is not about the bubbles its about the edges of the screen protector on the sides people are saying the sides of the case ride up on the SP an mess it up as pictured above

Tempered Glass for s4 pros and cons over Film protectors?

What the pros and cons of tempered glass screen protector vs a Film screen protector?
My concern about the Tempered glass is that :
--it's adhesive is only on the bezel area and since sgs4 have smaller bezel so it might get detached easily
--Tempered Glass might scratch the glass beneath it
--If adhesive of the Tempered glass became less sticky Dust might accumulate inside
So can you tell me your experience with tempered glass screen protector? I really want to hear from someone who used this screen protector for long time and not on these reviews on youtube since they only used it on the time they review it.
And also does anyone tried using combination of Film and T.glass protectors?
i never bothered because they're so expensive and i screw up the screen anyways so the film type are more easily replaceable
ill probably end up buying 2 or 3 cases and end up using only screen protectors in most situations lol.
to me i rarely drop my phone but i have trouble keeping it out of my pocket with my keys and change, other things. ive been pretty good about it but not perfect.
First off my only problem with tempered glass on my S3 was that it messed with screen responsiveness... Now the ones for the S4 are mostly half the thickness of last years so that should help that problem a lot. The iLoome protector fort the S4 is fully clear and I assume it has adhesive over the entire surface. The sense of mind you get with glass is great. Plus the feel of glass is much better than that of other screen protectors. If you can find one that doesn't take away from screen sensitivity than i'd say it's definitely worth it if you care about your phone.

I have a "Flexible Glass Screen Protector" on my S3 that has adhesive all across the back. I have only removed it once in the couple month's that I've had it. I have not encountered any dust getting between the two pieces of glass. The adhesion has not deteriorated any either. I am very happy with it and I really am hoping I will be able to locate one for my S4. The only draw back that I have found is that the thicker protector limits the cases you can use. My favorite cover before I got the protector was the Seidio Surface case and it no longer can be used. I also like my Otterbox Defender case and I was able to "squeeze" it on after I removed the plastic protector that came on the cover. It's a tight fit, but it does work.

It isn't 6mm thick, that would be +70% the thickness of the entire phone! lol
Maybe 0.6mm, that would still be very thick for a screen protector.
Spigen film is the way to go... $14 for two protectors and easy to install...
Just watched a review of the Spigen Glas.tR and it is also CLEAR!

I had a glass protector on my GS3 (XGear Spectre, I think) and it worked fine - no loss of sensitivity. It did allow some tiny dust in, but it was easy to lift and wipe it out the couple of times it happened over 8 months. And the week before my S4 came in, I managed to drop the S3 on its face...the screen protector cracked, and the phone is still perfect. Looking at the Spigen one next week just because of that.

Okay, I found the ad for the flexible glass protector. I ordered it on eBay, this one is very similar even though it is for the Note 2: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...193&pid=100040&prg=1011&rk=1&sd=230950051927&
I love this screen protector and am hoping that I will be able to get one for the new S4.
---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------
I also had the one everyone was talking about at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920757
But, like someone said previously, it had adhesive only on the outside edges and dust or dirt could get underneath the protector.
I ended up breaking it on the corner when I removed it to clean beneath it.
That does look like a nice one.
I bought the Spigen Slim Glass screen protector and I am 100% satisified. Zero less in screen sensitivity and it feels smooth as, well, glass

That's awesome. Which one did you get? .TR or .T? I didn't like the one for the s3 but apparently this one is better as the adhesive is all over.

Spigen GLAS.t SLIM = non-rounded borders - (0.23mm) - thinner
Spigen GLAS.tR SLIM = rounded borders (0.4mm)
You're correct the t is the thinner material. Either way it feels great and installs fairly easily.
I had the glas for the s2, I LOVED(easy to clean the screen of finger oils) it, however, it attracted dust underneath the screen protector due to adhesive being only at the edges, I took it off after a couple of months. With the full adhesive, i will definitely buy again for my soon to arrive S4. Especially since I just dropped my s2 face down on the ground and broke the screen a couple weeks back (without case), the glas would serve as a shield.

Tempered Glass on UAG Case!

Folks
Recently I bought the UAG Maverick Case for my Note 4, and it's stunning beauty made like to resist any space impact with a style.
The screen protector film came with it is indeed offers decent protection, but it's terribly one fingerprint/smudge magnet. My hands do sweat at times and indeed gets oily often. So y'all can imagine how awkward using a beast.
Also the touch feel has been horribly ruined with the protection film, The feel of Spigen premium series is entirely different from this.
Many of the Note 4 users has said, Tempered Glass offers tough protection without taking down much the actual glass feel of the touch screen. So pals, Please do suggest me the best tempered glass solutions which covers a bit out of the display area (black screen) with the UAG Case on.
No Halo effects, Fingerprints and smudge shouldn't be attracted and must be wiped like in actual screen.
Thanks

I have a UAG case with a Moshi iVisor edge-to-edge protector on. Application was easy and there is no halo. It fits fine with the UAG case. However, please note that I have not tried taking the case off, and I have only been using this setup for just over a week. Others have reported that the iVisor can get dust under it through time, as it only has adhesive round the edges and not under the glass. As yet, I have not experienced this. An alternative might be the Momax or the Tough Armour as I believe these do have adhesive under the glass as well as the edges. I purchased a Momax too, but have not tried it as the iVisor is perfect at the moment. (Note that the first Momax had the capacitive buttons wrong (menu instead of recent apps), but on the one I got that has been corrected). Have a good read through the many threads on Tempered Glass protectors, as others have experimented with different brands and also use UAG cases.
I bought an arcadia full screen protector. It did not work well with UAG. Popped the glass up. I loved the look of the glass that I got rid of my 2 uag cases.

Thanks Kinsman-UK giving your view on Moshi iVisor! :good: Just can't think of getting dust/debris getting through the edges as it may result more damage than actually keeping the screen bare. I've checked the Momax website and found Glass Pro XS Screen Protector but turned down no luck to order one
I ordered my Momax from shop.brando.com - they seem to still have black and white versions available, post internationally.
Is that all?
I've gone nuts selecting over tons of brands, seriously picking up the right phone was never been this hard.
My prime needs are,
1. Compatibility with UAG Case over the phone. It must not pop of even on the small impact with the case.
2. It must sit some area more than actual screen (black area).
3. Good bonding with screen and don't let any dust/debris let through the groves or edges of the protector.
Somewhere landed between some premium and well known brands, viz
iloome, Moshi, MOMAX, intelliARMOR
I don't know about other people's experience but I have dropped my Note 4 three times in the past week (I know! Unbelievable, never dropped my old phone once, and then I get a new one and...) - anyway, the Moshi was not affected by the drops and is still firmly attached. I've only been using it for a couple of weeks, and haven't had the UAG off an on yet, but it seems fine. I think the Momax will probably be even better as it has adhesive all over, but I haven't tried it on yet because the Moshi is fine for the moment. The only thing I would say is that when applying the Moshi I left the phone out of the case for two days, and applied pressure all around the edges to make sure it was well adhered before putting the UAG on. This is just my experience, so just FWIW and YMMV etc etc
EDIT: Note that the Moshi does have a 'dot matrix' pattern in the glass (something to do with the way it is strengthened I think), but it is only noticeable if you look closely in direct sunlight. I only mention it because some people may see this as a problem - doesn't bother me (in fact I struggle to see it at all in normal use).
I use the Spigen slim Armor Case with the "Ultimate xplosion proof" crystal clear screen protector and have not lost any noticeable sensitivity at all. Not trying to convince you... just what I use and 100% happy with it

Cases and Screen Protectors

I just ordered my new Moto X 2014, I'm actually getting it for free to replace my old Moto X.
What are some good case and screen protector combinations? I know in the past I've had some trouble with a case AND a screen protector, it's sometimes one or the other. I'd prefer a clear case, but I'll probably end up getting more than 1 anyways.

Just got mine as well here is what I have found so far:
All tempered glass is a waste of money for this model none if it fits right at all due to the rounded edges
I would ASSUME the older plastic style ones MIGHT work better but read they also dont work that well
Most cases that say they are clear are actually frosted and that for me defeats the purpose of customizing the back
So I am going naked screen and hula case and will carry the phone in a belt pouch. Not the perfect solution but for me its acceptable. I would have preferred a strong clear tpu case (most turn yellow), I dont want a hard case, and would have love tempered glass on this but they simply dont adhere correctly.
There you have it the sad but true facts about cases and screen protectors from the research I have done. Hopefully some others in here can give you better news

I don't mind a hard case and not a fan of the glass screen protectors. I like the film ones. My last film protector made it a matte screen and took the glare away. It was fantastic! And it worked with the case. But it's the only smartphone that I've had where screen protector AND case can be used.

I guess no one else has found better solutions. The naked case is a decent hard clear case though expensive and also prone to yellowing

It's either going to be the Gelli Black Frost case or the Hula Bumper case initially. I'm getting one of those for free if I buy a screen protector, which I was going to do anyways.
I just can't get anyone to tell me what one of those cases, if any, work with a screen protector. I've been trying to get someone to answer this question for 2-3 days now. Nobody on earth knows! lol

I have the hula bumper case and i can't see any reason it would interfere at all with a screen protector. When I tried my glass protector it was in combination with the hula. Honestly thought most screen protectors are so think that they can be used with almost any case.

I love the look, not sure it would truly give a huge amount of protection but should protect the edges of the glass on the screen which i read is the most vulnerable part of the phone. It does have a little but of movement when you hold the phone (aka wiggles slightly) but it also adds more grip, i have a plastic backed phone.. Those damn beveled edges, nice concept, nightmare in reality. They are why no glass or other screen protector will truly fit right.

When holding or using the phone its fine. I am also extremely OCD and when it moves/wiggles is like when you just tap the side with your finger you can feel it move very slightly, very slight;y but for me noticeable, but not enough to get rid of the case just makes the phone look awesome.

Also if you can order the hula from case mate rather then moto as moto charges an extra $5 shipping. They are also at times very hard to find in stock anywhere depending on the color you want.

I really like the way that looks. My phone is Royal Blue, White Front, and Red Trim. So it's between a white or red hula case, or the gelli case. I'm leaning towards the Hula for more everyday use I think, and buying another case from amazon for when i need more protection. Or buying the hula and getting a good protecting case from moto's website
I have a coupon code from Moto for $25 off, so Im buying the screen protector and I basically get any case for free.

I've been using the Hula bumper and Power Support Brilliant Film screen protector. The edge of the case doesn't contact the screen protector so it doesn't peel.

Weird question, but do you think there's enough give with the Hula case where it would fit around the Moto X in a thin TPU case? I like the TPU cases but worry about the protection or lack thereof. Just wondering if it'd be possible to use them and occasional put the Hula Case around them for extra protection. Of course the buttons probably wouldn't work then...

Just wondering if it'd be possible to use them and occasional put the Hula Case around them for extra protection. Of course the buttons probably wouldn't work then...

You wont be able to use the two together, to much of a lip on the back with the hula case. Even if you did somehow fit it on the tpu would never touch the back of the phone just the lip around the edge. TPU will likely give more protection then hula but hula will likely give more grip then a tpu case.
New to the X, is it worth while getting a screen protector? Case is on its way, but with Gorilla Glass 3, is it truly worth the extra to cover the screen? Probably will end up with one but wanted some other opinions!

That is completely up to you but I can tell you this based on my research and personal experience:
There is not a tempered glass screen protector on the market for the 2014 that adheres properly. Not one of them works well and thus dont bother with those. The 2014 tapered edges on the glass are the issue. I have HEARD of similar issues with PET style screen protectors but never messed with those as they never felt right to me.
Lastly everything I have read says those tapered edges o the glas DO make it more prone to crack or brake on a drop so you need SOMETHING to protect the glass edges. Full case, hula bumper, something....

Thanks! I heard one other person had a problem with cracking. Very good to know beforehand, I'll make sure to be a bit more careful.

A lot of the cracking that people report is from dropping their phones, not taking the Hula on and off. The Hula is designed to absorb the shock of a drop and it breaks so that the phone does not. Better that your $20 bumper break than your $600 phone.
I take my Hula off and on all of the time and it has never cracked. I think people are dropping their phones and the Hula is doing exactly what it is supposed to do - absorbing the shock, which can result in it cracking instead of your phone.

Finally found a full glass screen protector

Ordered this off eBay and its great. Covers the whole glass on the phone and does NOT have the halo effect around the glass but only near the home button which isn't much. The borders are black to possibly hide the halo, and or parts of the glass that isn't touching the screen itself. Pictures were taken on a Nexus 5 so you know where I'm getting at.

Here are the pictures. I'll post the eBay link in just a bit.
Is that the Araree brand one?
I guess its REMAX, but I don't know why OP didn't gave the link when he opened this thread.

Just added the link. This one doesn't seem to have a brand but they may all come from the same factory with different branding.
hii .. how does the phone fit in a case ? does the edges of the screen protector get pushed by the case ?
Is that really full cover? edge cover?
It does cover edges but i would like to see one on gold s6. Also to OP, how is around home button now?
The glass covers the entire front of the phone. The camera, proximity sensor and wraps around the home button. I haven't tested it with other cases besides the ringke slim case and it is just fine. I'm guessing it should be fine with others as well. There is no portion of the front glass exposed with this on except for this home button and the ear speaker.

Does the glass stick all the way to the edges? Or is it more like my Nillkin Glass protection is?
Along the entire phones edges the glass protection will not stick all the way. It makes it look like ****.
Maybe all glass protection is like this?

Yes, all the way to the edge. It has a black border around the edges so if there is any halo effect, you cannot see it. I've tested it with both the Ringke Fusion and Slim case and it's not pushing the screen protector up. I imagine some cases may lift the protector.
Thanks, just ordered one.
Nillkin has an even cooler tempered glass protector, look here:
Definitely going to check this out in black

I'm wondering if the Spigen Neo Hybrid and/or the Slim Armor/Tough Armor would push up this all-around protector.
How much of a lip does the Ringke Fusion/Slim have?
Great just what i was looking for!
Thanks for sharing OP

My guess is this will get pushed up just as much as the other full cover edge to edge screen protectors from Nikllin, UTLK, & Collreall, since it still goes to the edge of the phone. I cannot imagine this one is any thinner than the others to not cause problems.
For the Spigen Neo Hybrid, I think you are stuck with the screen protectors that only cover the screen and not to the edge, or the PET protectors.
Blooody marvellous!!

My guess as well. It does wrap all around the phone and the glass is edge to edge unlike others. It may lift with other protectors who have a lip around the screen. Its a great protector and wanted to share with everyone here since we are all looking for one that covers the whole front glass and this is it.

Recomendation Clear Screen Protector That Does Not Lift/Bunch on Seidio Surface

I purchased a Seidio Surface and Tech Armor clear screen protectors. The problem is that the screen protector fits nearly edge to edge. The pressure from the new double insulated surface cases causes the screen protector to bubble/lift/bunch on the edge in certain places.
I used some scissors to trim the screen protector with some success.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a screen protector that fits within the edges of Seidio Surface?
Thanks.
I purchased the intelliarmor case friendly tempered glass for mine. I have a surface case on the way so I will try these in a couple days and post back.

Are you speaking of film protectors right? By the way how do you like the case? Im trying to decide between the seidio surface and the speck. Are the volume buttomes or power buttons hard to press?
Must be. Unless he trimmed Tempered Glass with his scissors!

I have always used Seidio surfaces cases specifically because they looked good, slim, and they provided decent protection (offered a holster option).
The problem I have found after about 5 phones (Gnex (2), Moto X 2013 (2), S4 (2), and the N6) is that they actually hurt the phone. When I say hurt, they create these little scuffing marks where ever the case comes in contact with the phone. This comes from fine dust/sand and dirt that gets in between the case and phone. I had good results with my N6 as I would take the case off once a week and clean/blow the case/phone.
My Nexus 6 looks good, but not perfect after about 6 months.
I *think* Seidio is on to this effect as all the new phones have a dual TPU soft shell and hard shell. I am hopeful this fixes this issue.
Regarding the buttons, they are harder to press and not perfect. It is certainly functional and not a big issue to me. You do notice it. It doesn't bother me that much since the phone turns on by the finger sensor anyway. I really never use the power button anymore.

The Seidio case and IntelliArmor tempered glass screen protector are a near perfect match. There is just a tiny edge between the glass and the case so you don't have to worry about the case pushing on the glass protector. The glass itself is very nice, I purchased some cheaper tempered glass protectors from Ebay and you can really see the difference. They are very clear and even though they do show fingerprints and smudges, they are way less noticeable than the cheaper protectors I bought.
