Is there any case for the Epic that protects the screen? I used to have a HTC TyTN (slider qwerty) and there was a silicone case with a plastic piece that you had to flip up in order to use the touchscreen. Is there anything similar for the Epic? I find that most protectors do not shield the screen, which makes them pointless.
Btw, I am not referring to those super-thin screen protector. I'm thinking of a piece of physical object that you use to cover the screen when the phone is not in use.

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.

I just got these for my phone and wanted to share some pics.
For the tempered glass, I just bought one of the cheap ones. I was taking a change on haloing, and it has a halo. But, it is barely noticeable if the screen is on. The only other issue is that it barely covers the screen width-wise. I get what I paid for. Other than that, the visibility is awesome like any other glass screen protector. S-pen and finger touch have no issues.
After looking at many different cases, I again got one of the cheaper options. This case adds little bulk, but nothing like other similar cases. Plastic part has matte finish, so no finger prints. It is a little slippery, but rubber part does not catch dirt/lint and grip is good enough. The lip on the screen side is barely enough to clear the glass protector. I would have like a bigger lip, but as long as the screen is not touched when the phone is face-down, I can live with it. The only annoying issue is that feel for the side buttons are muted due to the rubber.
Overall, the case provides adequate protection and the fit is great. For the price, I may say that it is a better value than Spigen Slimarmor or other similar cases.
Looks very nice.
Looks like the case is two pieces that snap together? If so, does it easily split apart? I ordered the Unicorn Beetle SUPCASE because it seems to do just that, but (like most cases) there are a lot of mixed reviews so more options the better o-O;; Looks nice :good:
Had the original transparent case from Honor from day one on my Honor 8 Sapphire Blue with a glass protection on screen.
I ordered the GKK Ultrathin Matte Bumper Protection Case in blue off ebay could it came within 3 weeks from China something like €2.30 free shipping.
It's a 3 part case where the top and bottom parts cover once on cover up to the screens board line and the mid section the main bulk of the phone. The top and bottom covers have two each locking tabs (push fit) into theid section of the case.
One on its a nice tight fit around the device and lays flat on the screen No Gaps.. All punched holes are spot on, camera's sensor, jack plug, speaker, mac's fingerprint sensor and charger port. Must say the light sensor cut-out is over sized for some reason not round but oblong with top and bottom being curved. The volume and power buttons all make a positive travel with a soft soft click sound when pressed.
The mid section of the case once on hugs the phone nicely and meets up with the top of the phones frame edge and not curved round over to met the screen.
Having said that the case feels good in the hand nonslip does not make the phone look bigger or feels heavier.
I left my armoured screen glasses protection on when fitting this case NOTE if you choose to leave an armoured screen protection due to the thickness of the armoured glass you will need to offer up basically take you time and make sure the top and bottom of the case when fitting is over the armoured protect and push down slowly to met up with the mid section.
Reason being if you just went and try and put the cover or or force the cover on you'll have a high rate of the armour cracking, breaking..
The other option would be to use a protection film on the screen and one could just push fit the cover section in place without worrying about any damage.
Like the phone itself the bumper case is a fingerprint magnet but it's an around good protection to the body of the phone and still use the phone as if there was no phone case on it..
Is it worth it? Yes
Can you fit case if device has a armoured glass protection? Yes but be very careful take you time very tight fit.
Would I recommend others to buy it? Yes
Doesn't seem to move or slip off a flat surface while it vibrates on calls..
looks nice, would have chose a different colour tho
It looks like a hassle....i just need a strong back case and a tempered glass that covers the whole screen.....i got the cover all right but finding the tempered glass is a bit of a hassle the Terapin ones i got did not covered the whole screen it has like 0.5 cm space from each side

It's not snap fit all in a few seconds without an armoured screen protection otherwise one needs to take care if fitting over an armoured screen protection.. All in all it's a well made and designed case..
There is a similar case where it protects the rear and sides leaving you to put a screen protection on at ease..

Sorry cause i don't understand...does this full armor case has a glass that protects the actually screen or does it just cover the whole phone except for the screen?
Also if you already have a tempered glass on your phone do you need to remove it? or you can apply the case without any issues?
It just covers the phone the screen is exposed no protection..
My phone already had a armoured screen protection on it and l carefully put the top and bottoms of this case over it..
How does the case feel in the hand? And do you have trouble whit the screen, knowing it covers the phone exept the screen
What's the point of buying a tempered glass screen protector for the G5 when it already comes with Gorilla Glass? That wouldn't be considered overkill?
I figured the a simple plastic one would do the trick, just for fingerprints, smudging, etc.
Anyone have any recommendations on a screen protector brand? I've been reading some reviews about how some.of the protectors do t account for the G5's curved screen.
Thanks.
It does seem redundant, but Gorilla Glass is not 100% scratch and crack proof. A glass screen protector is a small price to pay (literally) for added protection versus replacing the screen itself. I prefer the smoother feel of glass over plastic, so I go with glass.
The G5's curved screen at the top isn't the issue. The screen is not truly flat in all areas. On my G5 there is a gap between the screen and glass protector on the following areas: center-top (near ear piece), both bottom corners. This is well documented in the G5 screen protector thread. A plastic screen protector flexes enough to hide these gaps.

Is "G5 screen protector" the name of the thread?
Are those gaps annoying? So the plastic ones hide the gaps, eh? Is that the one you're using, but even though it's hidden you're still aware of it's presence? Do you have a recommendation on a good one that isn't too expensive?
The case I bought kinda sucks. The volume down button is incorrectly placed and seems like it just missed the down press.. it basically just increases the volume. Any suggestion on a slim profile case that lines up with all the buttons correctly? I think I might just go with one of the LG ones; I assume their own cases would line up perfectly.
This suggestion might not be a solution for everyone but life is a series of compromises I guess. I've bought half a dozen glass screen protectors(all the ones available on amazon) and several phone cases as I was unwilling to go without a full glass protector on my phone so this is the solution i came up with. Confirmed repeatable, I'm preforming this on my 3rd PH-1(pictures) while i write this. (don't worry, its not because they broke!)
So basically:

The glass protector itself is the best of all the glass protectors i've tried so far but it still has its shortcomings. The glue is applied to the black thin line around the border which is ok on the bottom but the top is too thin. Once installed it "floats" around up top near the camera. NOTE: Eventually the glass gets the spotted rainbow effect in the glass center. Not noticeable once the screens on but some i know would like to know this before hand. Slick glass feel tho, no more finger printy then the factory glass. With a hard press you can move it around and recenter it but im sure eventually it will fall off left alone.
That is where the case comes in. The case is two piece, the bumper that is raised around the screen(inner case), overlaps and has a plastic cheapy protector glued in place.
Clean and apply the glass protector. Clean the edges of the glass protector and ensure its centered. Take the inner case and remove the cheap plastic protector that it comes with. LEAVE THE GLUE on the inner case. Install the inner case over the phone ensuring the protector is centered once again before pressing down around the edges firmly. Install remaining outer case rubber.
You now have an Essential phone WITH A GLASS SCREEN PROTECTOR!! The case is IMO not the prettiest but feels great, easy to grab and grip, cutouts and port covers all work properly, buttons are still clicky. My wife even likes it more then her retired iPhone, and that's saying something
Remember to press against the glass protector at the bottom mainly, if you need to remove the inner case so it does not lift.
Hope this helps those PH-1 owners who wish to enjoy the security of a glass screen protectors. :highfive:
Poetic's glass screen protector also works with the Tudia Glost case. I think that was posted in the cases thread some time ago. That's the combination I'm using now. So far the Poetic screen protector has stayed on very well. It has the same rainbow issue when the screen is off, but like you said, you can't see it when the screen is on.
Ya, i avoided that case since lots of reviews about the back cracking upon dropping it. Haven't seen the peotic brand glass protectors either but im sure this works with any protector and case with similar designs
