Generic Chinese Screen Protector comparison

Reading the terrible Zagg reviews I thought I'd look at the generic screen protectors that come at 1/20th the cost.
I didn't buy an HTC one but had a couple of iPod ones that came with a case years ago. I cut it into a square and fitted it to half the screen.
It was very easy to fit, clean the screen with your glasses cloth or any such thing, use something solid and dust free to fan away any dust that lands, E.g. a credit card, peel off the bottom tab and place on. It was simple enough pushing the bubles to the edge with the card or fingernails.
I saw people were worried about the guard changing the colour slightly or making it fuzzy and even making it more greasy than normal so I took some photos to show you. They feel like plastic, not like the screen but they're not sticky and they come clean off. Obviously the guard is on the top of the screen and the edges are rough because it's hard to cut.
Let me know what you think, I rekon I'll get a couple and see how it goes as they're only 50p and work great.

Nice, never liked the back cover though

Back cover ( NOT cases )

Are there any metal like ones around? Something a little bit on the gentle side for signal. I would assume such things would be all over the place since so many want to tout / whine about the plastic back. However, I can't really find one that doesn't claim to be aluminum.

i think hes talking about a metal battery cover...
and i doubt that this will become a thing, btw. the reason it's removable is because it's plastic.

I linked metal battery door cover. From eBay description:
Package Included:1* Aluminium Metal Brushed Battery Door Back Cover Case Samsung Galaxy S4 IV I9500

I'm a fan of using skins instead of cases. I usually order from SkinIt.com
However, they don't seem to have anything for the S4... YET.

bodyguardz, skinomi, and armor shield have some up on amazon if you wanna get skins.

I live by skinomi. I've bought at least 7 skins from them. Here's my Relay, but I have the same on my 3ds, nexus 7 and S4

XGear EXOSkin vinyl skin

How would I go about putting a screen protector on with this?

Though I don't know how well it would work, but I would think would need to put the SP first and then the front skin. But I see a problem, if its a dry SP, then it won't go all over the edge. That might cause problems with the fit of the skin itself. Are you dead set on using the front skin?
Oh and don't buy it from there. XGEAR has a 60% off deal on the EXOSkin on their website right now
EDIT: correction, they had the promo for the weekend only. You could still try and see if it works. The code is EXOIPNEX4IPD2
EDIT 2: looks like it expired

I just installed mine tonight. Back of it is flawless and so easy to put on. Feels like real wood. The only beef I have is the front side. It does not protect the actual screen of the phone.....so I tried to install it over my BSE clear skin protector. Wasn't the best move (if perfection was what I was going for) because I ended up ripping the thin sides off to make installation over a barely dried wet applied clear skin. Still looks awesome though and I really really like it overall.
If I had to do it over again....I would have installed the front EXOskin over a tempered glass protector for the complete look. The reason the EXOskin didn't play well with the clear skin already on the phone is that the EXOskin is very adhesive. I think it would have been better over something like tempered glass. That would have given it protection over the actual screen and a wood look elsewhere.
Like I stated though....love mine.

Quoting myself.....the answer is VERY CAREFULLY. honestly best idea is tempered glass protector for front. Its difficult otherwise and probably not going to come out looking "perfect"

Best Cheap case![Air Mesh]Caseology Dual Layer Armor Case

Best Case I've used so far. The caseology dual layer.
It gives great protection, just adds a little bulk, case with a good grip.
There's a lot of cool color combination and best of all its just 7.99$.
the Quality is amazing, you can compare it with those 30-40$ case, I highly recommend this case!
Here's the Link:

Cool! It's close to my Spigen Neo Hybrid but it costs a third of. Now I'm looking for an economic thinner case. I've seen a lot of tpu cases but the only thing I really want is an edge that protect camera glass.:good::good:

Wife has the purple one on her S5. She loves it and the price was spot on :good: I'm a case whore so I think I'm going to try the gold mesh one for mine, currently using a Spigen.

just bought one of these myself. got the android green one with the iCarez 9H Tempered Glass screen protector. Hope it fits with the case, guess we'll find out!
thanks for the find!

- Off Topic- i just realise
Just bought this real leather flip cove caser on Amazon.de (Germany) for 6,99 euro`s. Link http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00IXEKEW4/ref=pe_386171_38075861_TE_item_image.

Tablets have been utilizing the tech for awhile now, I think it'll be okay unless you have a floppy disk reader or platter-based hard disk in there!

just got the case today. fits really well. the only thing i dont like is the sides seem a little sharp. im sure that will wear down in time. also i recommend the iCarez 9H Tempered Glass screen protector for this phone.

just ordered this. same color as OP. yay for free shipping

I have the case, its nice and good protection also very well priced. But for me this case adds way too much bulk onto the phone, I've made the brave choice to be caseless

VRS DUO GUARD CASE. Very nice.

Wassup guys just a little review. Got my 1st case in today. Wish i had the phone to go inside it. 2 part case.
1st impressions....very nice case. Great feel to it. Light and comfortable. May be a little slippery but not too bad. Sides do offer some grip tho with rubberish material. Great finish on it with the coral blue. Kick stand feels decent stays in place when open and snaps back closed when needed. Button press seems like it will be fine but cant tell until phine arrives. Over all protection id rate 6 out of 10.
1 of the things i noticed first was how thin the case was. This is not a bad thing. Im comming from a note 4 with a verus thor case and can fit the new case almost inside the verus thor note 4 case. This is good relating to actual phone size. My note 4 was slightly too large to properly hold it in my hand. This seems like it will be nearly perfect for me.
2 things im worried about.....when the phone is in the case and face down im hoping it leaves a gap between the surface and screen. I believe it does but again i need my phone to tell.
2 inner part of kickstand. Im worried about it somehow scratching the back glass of the phone. Anyone know where to get a rear body plastic protector?
Check out some pics. Hope this helps.

Nice. I was checking those out. I bought 5 Thors for my N4 at $3 each. Waiting for that sale again from Verus. Bring on the N7!

Buy a premium metal glass phone and put it into a plastic rubber case breaks my heart. Waiting for the drop tests if it's durable I will add skin on the back to only remove those finger prints and make the phone less slippery. Maybe some mental frame would be cool too, but then phone becomes more bullky.

I got the VRS TPU case. Looks pretty awesome so far!
