I also got the free screen protector I believe that special expired yesterday 4/22. Not sure how slim it is but It looks like it could take a beating that's for sure.

Whilst Spigen are not now promoting a free screen protector, if you look at the included items with the case, it now states "Front Cover Screen Protector 1PC", so I guess the free screen protector is still included! You have to love marketing departments.....

Before you would have 2 screen protectors in the end. The included one and the extra one (I hope).
You could order screen protectors even and choose a free screen protector too.

Up to the 22nd April, the website did not specify that a screen protector was included other than the promotional tick box. The site has now changed with a screen protector listed as included.

I ordered the Neo Hybrid yesterday and it definitely said "Front Cover Screen Protector - 1 PC" as it does now.
I also see they now have 50% off a screen protector when you buy a case.
In addition it seems the price on the Neo Hybrid was raised by $1.

That 50% discount has only recently been added!
Also, a cached copy from Google is attached showing no screen protector listed other than the free one. Hope you do receive the two

It's the same on the Neo Hybrid. I ordered before the 22nd, so I better get two screen protectors or I'm going to be pissed.

Just make sure its not fake. A lot of them on ebay are fake.

I hope not.
One reassuring piece of info that may be relative is that they wont ship until may 1st. Possibly waiting for inventory?
I will have the phone before the case comes

Cant wait for mine to come. Looks great buy I must say the otterbox commuter looks pretty good too. I also got the glas.tr so it will be my first glass screen protector.

Otter box did an awesome job on the GS4 cases thats for sure. Design wise atleast

Same problem here. Get the s4 sat and slim armor may 10. Talked to my Sprint retail store guy and he said to come see him friday before all hell breaks lose on sat and he'll make sure I get an sview case. Retail expects to sell out of the first shipment quickly. Sview cases and phones.

There are some cheap TPUs on eBay that you can order for the meantime. I boughten one for $4 earlier today and it's supposed to arrive on Saturday which is perfect.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

just got a response earlier about a question i asked a few days ago... WEIGHT AND DIMENSIONS!
this is what they had to say!
"Thank you for contacting Spigen.com Customer Service Department.
Hi, my name is Hanna from Spigen.com.
Thank you for your recent order with us!
The slim armor will add on about 2mm on each side for the length and about 1.5mm on each side for the width. The case itself will add about 3-4 ounces of weight to your phone.
These are all approximations since we do not have the actual case available as of yet. "
so 3mm added to the thickness approximately, and 85-113 grams on top of the gs4's 7.9mm thickness and 130 grams.
not bad, for a slim case with the best protection! hope i like it, who knows lol

i think the best looking case yet is the iSkin EXO
beats otterbox thats for sure

i ordered mine to get the extra additional screen protector. spigen also sent me out an LCD cleaning kit for free. on top of that, the fake ones are probably jacked up in price just because those are just coming out too. the phone isnt even released yet.
also if you go to spigens ebay store,
http://stores.ebay.com/SPIGEN-SGP/S...5621014&_sid=1118303154&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322
you'd see that the prices arent different.
also note that spigen has a 90-day manufacturer warranty and a 30 day return policy. under these policies, cases purchased on spigens website are the ONLY spigen cases covered.
"Only items purchased from Spigen.com will be eligible for this warranty." quoted from their website http://www.spigen.com/faq/ #6

Nexus 4 Cases - UK

Theres nothing around!! They're just sleeves lol! :crying: Anybody know off any good cases that are out in the UK to use meanwhile. So far the options are bad, and I don't want to use a naked phone lol.
Hardly anything in the UK.
I'm waiting for the S gel cases to appear, it's bound to happen before one from China would arrive for me.
In the mean time I guess I'll just keep it in a sock/pouch type thing I have lying around.
Mobilefun are showing 3 dedicated cases , but these are NOT released yet , probably be soon though.
They have the genuine Nexus 4 bumper and 2 FlexiShield Skin cases here:-
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/cat/Nexus-4-Cases.htm
Luckily it's almost the exact same size as the GNex so slides nicely into my old PDair case, might get a bumper but I'd like to see one first
Better off going online to find a case. High st retailers have a bad selection of cases.
There is a an s case available from in the UK now http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TPU-Case-Cover-Nexus-4-LG-E960-/121022906472?var= they also have some 3 ply screen protectors. I had ordered an s vase from China but have got one of these coming now

lol! I posted about this case myself a few days ago. Thanks anyway
Flexishield
I need something until the official bumper turns up (damn! this phone is slippery) so I've ordered the black Flexishield from Mobilefun and will report back with my opinion.
S-Line case is very nice for the N4. Very grippy and looks good too. However, if you're buying this expecting it to prevent scratches on the back, don't. I have 3 or 4 fine scratches at the top of the rear glass after taking the phone out of the case. I'm sure it would help with shattering if it fell, but it seems to have caused a few scratches on the back :/ They're only visible at a certain angle but there are quite a few of them.
Nevertheless, they're just fine scratches and definitely nothing to cry about. I'm going to continue using the case!
I got my S line case a couple of days ago, for 99p including delivery to (and from) the UK - it was 2 days, it's rather great! Grippy, comfortable, not bulky and not scratching the phone either.

I have the Bumper on order but am getting by with an S- line case and a pouch. I'm preferring the pouch though as the S- line, although grippy, feels woefully cheap.

Ionic Guardian + Spigen screen prot.
Well we (in the UK) can pre-order the ionic guardian ... which I think I'm going to do so my phone can hopefully take a few knocks (shame about no otterbox) ... and combine it with the spigen screen protector, just can't choose between oleophobic and ultra crystal ....
Edit: I can't post links but if you chcek amazon (uk) they are on there...
Anyone got a better/more protective set up that we can get here? .... I'm guessing there'll be a new wave of people in the UK looking into cases now that we were able to order again today (I luckily managed to get in on the 1-2 weeks but aren't counting my chickens till I get a shipping email)

I know this MSRP's for more than $20, but i have seen them on Ebay got for $20-25. It is a glass screen protector.
I have one and think they are amazing. I have dropped my phone onto it's face in gravel from ear height and this protected my factory glass. In my opinion, id rather break one of these then the factory glass because it is a paint in the butt to replace the factory glass.

I agree - I have the iLoome and after I put one on mine, my daughter insisted on one. It also went on easier and more bubble-free than any film protector I've ever dealt with.

I got a skinomi from amazon. I think it was like 7 bucks. Lifetime warranty supposedly. I like it, it doesn't have the drag my old zagg's used to have when I move my finger around. It is a wet application, but it works, so I don't really have any complaints.

I made a mistake of purchasing skinomi for my late iphone 4s. The supposed lifetime warranty is a load of baloney. Such a hassle to convince them that I needed replacement as the corners started to peel. And after days of dispute, I got my replacement but they wanted me to pay for shipping. $3 shipping on a $10 product. Never again. But your experience may differ.

Good to know about the warranty. That's partially why I said supposedly. I guess I haven't had it long enough to know the long term quality. For a short term cheap screen saver it seems to be pretty good.

Awesome, good luck. My first one did not apply well, it had some weird line-defect in it. Got a new one, and i love it. I've been using it about 5 weeks now, and I don't have any scratches or marks on it. A plastic screen protector would be scratched up in a few days.
I keep my phone in my jacket pocket, or back pants pocket.
I've been really happy with it.
Got a zagg only because its the only one Best Buy offered when i got my phone. Will definitely be getting the spigen tempered glass one next payday. I hate the feeling of screen protectors (especially zagg, feels like an orange peel). Glass is the only way to go. IMO its an expensive phone, no need to be a cheap charlie when it comes to protecting the screen. Just my .02 cents. 30 bucks for a tempered glass one that will fit properly isnt much.

sorry for the late response. install was a breeze. I did however manage to get some dirt on the adhesive side of the glass right before I was about to place it on and freaked out for a bit after realizing the back side is pretty sticky and you cant simply wipe dirt off of it. Thankfully I had some sticky notes nearby and used the sticky side of the note and padded the adhesive side of the glass and it grabbed all the dirt right off

I didn't have this one but It went great.
What I did was do it after a hot shower (steamy), cleaned the screen with the included cloth and used the included stick repeatly to remove all dust.
when I see no dust on there, I quickly pealed off the red tab and aligned it before applying pressure and sticking it in place.
you can get a tempered glass S4 screen protector for $7 on ebay.. select US ONLY

Cheapest case with built in screen protector...

Since Otterbox seems to release their Defenders two months after the phone release, I need case with screen protections built in... No way I am letting this phone go commando for two months... What is the cheapest one you have found?

The Ringke Slim is an excellent thin case that ships with a nice free screen protector. I normally don't use their included screen protector because I prefer glass, but I'm using it now until the glass protector issues are sorted out.
I got it shipped for less than $10 through Amazon Prime.

How's the included screen protector that came with your Ringke Slim? I put mines aside cuz I'm also waiting for a good glass, but debating if I should just slap the free one on.. Do you notice any glare when using your phone outdoor? And how does the edges look with your screen protector on?
It's a perfect cut. To tell you the truth, I'm a little shocked how good it is considering that it was free with the case. The cuts get as close as possible without going into the bended glass portion so no lift issue. This also means you have to get alignment right during install.
As far as glare, didn't notice any. I put it on because I didn't want to rush into buying an unproven glass protector.

Screen Protectors - recommendations

Bit the bullet and purchased here in blighty.
Managed to get it on an o2 upgrade through CPW for 230. Would have like the 32GB version but 16GB should do (coming from a G2 with on 16GB and no SD).
So first concern will be screen protector.
Have you any recommendations of brands you have used or what you have currently for the phone?

I'm hoping there will be some more cases available for this phone soon, amazon currently have a couple but i really want a black one. Been considering the unicorn beetle case but there's no image of the black/black model on amazon, only the frosted/black one.
I'd be interested to hear how the tempered glass screen protector works out though
Never used one so not sure how easy they are to apply, also never bought anything from Aliexpress, is there service pretty good?

Hi,
I had a XtremeGard installed on my nexus 4 and really liked it. Yesterday I ordered 4 of them for my Moto X Play. They have at this moment an 80% discount on all order with coupon code "Summer80"!
So for 4 of them it's $6.39US with coupon (shipping is free in US and low elsewhere).

The problem you may be posting about when you get that is that the screen on our phone has a beveled edge, either the screen protector won't make contact on the edges, or it won't cover the full screen.
It's very likely we won't see a proper full-coverage protector for the life of the device.
I just went with a custom cut one from Geek Squad, $20 well spent. (but still not edge-to-edge)

Hi,
I had a XtremeGard installed on my nexus 4 and really liked it. Yesterday I ordered 4 of them for my Moto X Play. They have at this moment an 80% discount on all order with coupon code "Summer80"!
So for 4 of them it's $6.39US with coupon (shipping is free in US and low elsewhere).

Just ordered an Xtremeguard as well with that coupon, I got the "Hi-Def Dry-Install" version. First of all, thank you for sharing it! And second, please let us know how it is when it arrives. I'm currently in Germany so my shipping will take respectively longer (18-31 Days was the suggestion with the $5.87 USPS International Shipping option, ouchhh).. But on a positive note, after the 80% off coupon the whole deal, including shipping to Europe, was only about $7-$8ish!
Anyway, thanks again
Nico
No problème and I will let you know as soon as I have them.

Got them this friday and installed it Saturday night (wet install). It fit perfectly, not as slippery as I tough it would be (I guess I got use to the naked glass) but overall I like it.
still have 1 or 2 bubbles under but I know by experience that tomorrow it will be gone.
Cheers!

91% off with this code, at the moment: BF91OFF
I have some random screen protector, jeez I forgot the brand....Qmust maybe?
They're all mostly fine anyway
EDIT: Woops I mean it's a tempered glass screen protector.
No proper Screen Protector yet available for MXP. I bought back covers and screen protectors, all ruined in few days.
My brotec (?) screen protector os doing just fine 3 months in.
Seems most aren't the best fits due to curve of screen but covers 98% of the screen when a case is on as well so I'm happy enough.
I recently bought a back cover for my Moto X Play. It is from "Frosted Series" of Nillkin brand. The device is much more comfortable now, thanks to the TPU material used.
Here is the link : http://www.amazon.in/dp/B0173QXAD2
Another case which I considered was : http://www.amazon.in/dp/B015XII0W8
This case is also made of Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU).
I don't think I'll bother with a screen protector this time around, it's got Gorilla Glass 3 already and have never had problems with screen scratches previously, with inferior screen solutions.
I shall wing it, apart from my TPU case to protect the corners of the device which is my main damage culprit.
those with xtreme guard applied, could you guys share some pics of your phone? did the film cover the whole screen?
Few weeks ago i installed a 5 euro/dollar anti glare screenprotector and it fits perfect.The edges are rounded so you will never find a screen protector that covers the whole screen.I use the original moto x play flip shell for protection and a screen protector for the anti glare look.

Xtremeguard screen protectors

They haven't been the best lately but something is something when protecting the screen while waiting for something better.
I just put in my order for 3 wet install fronts. I don't see a need or how the backs would stick or work on the v10 textured back.
I used the code giant90 it gives 90% off sitewide and free shipping. Imho for $2.40 shipped why not..
Edit. Oh that car mount is decent enough, if you have a bouncy car though it shakes the phone a lot.
Edit: Previous code expired Nov 8. New code found via google search FALL91 gives 91% off sitewide on x2+ items. SUMMER80 gives 80% sitewide on x1+ items.
EDIT: I got the wet install, the edges are cut out really badly, ended up lifting and gathering lint.
EDIT: I just got the glass screen protectors, off the bat 1 had the smaller potion near the cams broken, a second was snaped in half. The third went on nicely, fits great, looks great and feels great. Except it was leaning against the squeegee in the kit and left and impression on the adhesive side, I didn't notice until I had already put it on. It's really a shame it would have looked nice.
Thanks the site has good stuff.
I've asked them for a tempered glass for our phones because they're so ridiculously cheap with their constant coupons, but they are still hesitant. dbrand isn't doing skins, they don't think the demand is there.

I saw they didn't have that as an option the other day, but it looks like they've reconsidered. They have the tempered glass for our phones now and I just ordered one

nice lol I guess Im gonna make another order... haha
EDIT: 3 spartan class protectors for $8.10, I also like to add the $0.99 rush since it's already so cheap, they usually process it right away.
Just ordered a Spartan tempered shield for $6. Fall91 didn't work but Summer80 did which is 80% off.

I ordered the Spartan Tempered Protector with the Fall91 coupon too, but it made me order two for the coupon to work instead of just one. But even after buying two, after the coupon plus rush Shipping, the grand total was less than the average price for one Tempered Glass Protector on Amazon. Great coupon, and now I have a spare one to boot!
Man I got my wet install screen protectors already. Sent Allan a complaint email. They are just really shotty, the cut is just bad. I used one anyways to protect the screen while I wait for shipment of the Glass protector.
EDIT: Sorry about the detail, I bought 3-5 items, didn't realize it requires 2+ items for FALL91 to work. SUMMER80 works for 1 or more items.
