Dear all, what case and/or screen protectors are people using please?
Thanks!
hey i just got mine in the post today from amazon, fitting it and it looks awesome, can't even tell its there, i messed up the first one though but i think you get a pack of 5, i dont know if this is cheap ,but i baught it anyway...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/FoneM8-Desi...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1285680341&sr=8-1
after my delight with the Brando screen protector on my HTC Touch HD, I've ordered one for my Desire.
Fitment was perfect, and in a year, i didn't get any scratches whatsoever, and the protector looked good as new too!
Use of the touchscreen wasn't impeded either.
I also ordered a Gel 'skin' type case from the Brando site too.
They should be arriving sometime this week.
Until then i was using the felt/velvet 'sock' slip on case that came with my Touch HD..... but at the weekend i found a leather belt-clip type case on a seat whiled getting off an Airplane, (which was a perfect fit) so i've been using that
after trying a number of screen protectors i finally paid the extra and opted for the brando ultra clear. best i have ever used on any phone i have had.

i have even removed it, washed it then replaced it, no bubbles look as it did when it was first applied.
Anyone tried Gelaskins? Ordering and I'll let you know...

I'm using a matte screen protector, and just ordered a PDair leather flip case.
Got a Capdase gel case when I got the phone, and its not bad at all. Applied an invisibleshield on the Desire too.
I just ordered a case-mate tough from Play. Seems to be getting some decent reviews. I'm currently using a cheapish case and screen pro from Fleabay.

I use Martin Fields screen protector and Otterbox Commuter case ..
Just received one I bought on eBay:
cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250684540907&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Or you can just search for "Desire case" or something like that. It fits well and feels good quality. Haven't used it for many days though.
Nope, no screen protector or casing whatsoever. With the exception of a scratch on the metal bit around the camera (hmm, how'd that get there.. ) my phone still looks brand new after 3 months. Of course, I have been keeping it away from the pocket with all my keys .
I'm using a Krusell case but no screen protector.

Otterbox commuter has arrived from mobilefun. Actually bigger than I thought so I'm not sure how big the defender was going to be. Quite pleased with it, bought Martin fields screen protector as well, making the whole thing virtually perfect.

I'm using a gel case that I got from a telus store.
I am using the Otterbox Defender case and love it. Well worth the dollar paid. But I do not have any screen protector. Was thinking of the invisibleshield prior to the otterbox purchase.

Zagg "Invisible" shield, works well, but comes in 7 pieces and the smaller side bits are fiddly to put on. Clear Gel case I got off e-bay for AU$3.00. Combo works well.
i am using a cheap silicon case from Etui, transparent black. I dropped my Desire for the first time 2 days ago, landed roughly on cement floor. Thanks God no scratch at all.
as screen protector i use the not-so-cheap one from Vikuiti (3M), but the quality is very good and none of my friends notice that I put a screen on my Desire. And you can wash it and it will keep it's adhesive to the display.
I've bee reading some of the other forums on here, and I am having a hard time choosing what screen protector and case to use (which is a good thing, I guess). I am trying to decide between Zagg, Ghost Armor, and the Spigen Glas.t (do I get the SLIM or tR). Which one of these is best? Do they all protect the phone from scratches and drops about the same?
As far as cases go, whats the best case? I've been looking at the Otterbox Commuter and was dead set on getting it until I saw the Spigen Neo Hybrid case. Will they both protect the phone from slight drops? If you have the Spigen, are the sides raised over the edges of the screen and the camera, as to protect it?
I tried Ghost Armor. was not happy with it. Sure it protected nicely and it is nearly indestructible but I found it tended to embed bits of dust that would not come out no matter what I did to clean it.
Today I have a cheap matte protector that cost me about $5 IS on Amazon. Also picked up a TPU case and a hard case.
I always preferred a generic TPU case for my devices... adds very little bulk, makes them easier to grip (less slippage), and better protection than naked...
I am not a fan of those huge, multi-layered monster cases.
Zagg + Otterbox (Commuter) for me. I picked the Zagg because that's the only screen protector Best Buy had and I had to get one right when I got my phone so I can always claim it's had one on for 100% of it's life. Maybe an OCD thing, I don't know.
And right now, Otterbox is the only brand I trust. My Galaxy Nexus was in a Diztronic and cracked from a ~2 foot drop onto concrete. That's probably reasonable, and definitely falls under the category of user error, but it would not have broken with an Otterbox. That's a fact.

Agreed. Same style.
Also, not only do questions belong in Q&A, but there's even an Accessories subforum for these exact types of questions.

Plus their screen protectors are amazing.
I have the dualtek extreme shock case with the spigen glas.t SLIM. its the best combo in my opinion. I used the same combo with my iPhone 4S and its been great protection. I've dropped them both a couoke of times on some hard surfaces with no scratches at all. I've dropped my iPhone face down (not on purpose of course). No scratches what so ever.

For $30 they should be pretty amazing... I can't see myself dropping more than $10 shipped on a case.
I've got a neo hybrid case and ghost armor screen protector. I had GA on my S3. I like the feel of the GA protector, the professional install, and the fact that it has the lifetime warranty. If it even LOOKS like its peeling, I run to the mall and get it replaced.
This is my first Spigen product and I have gotten more compliments on this one than I have on any other case.

I have the Neo Hybrid case too and get comments everywhere I go - I normally use ZAGG screen protectors but tried the Spigen GLass T protector and love it - it has the most natural feel - and looks awesome!
I bought a spigen for my Xperia z and it didn't let the proximity sensor work right. You'd get off a call and the screen wouldn't turn back on. Tried to take it off and it cracked. It was pretty thick, not sure if that was the reason but I'll steer clear of one till I know for sure. Especially with the hover features of this phone.

The dualtek or Neohybrid? Have you gotten the case yet? I'm probably gonna buy one of those cases.
Edit: I just saw that the case was shipping from Hong Kong. I'm worried it may be some knock off fake item. That's just me though.
For me sgp neo hybrid and screen protector I picked up at the ATT for 10 bucks. I always buy sgp screen protectors but I figured I would just use these till I need a change then I'll pickup dome sgp screen protectors down the road

Has anyone heard of the BodyGuradz Pure Screen Protector?
http://www.bodyguardz.com/screenguardz-pure-glass-screen-protector-for-samsung-galaxy-s-4-iv.html
It looks like this may top my list! I read a CNET review where the reviewers daughter dropped her iPhone from like 6 feet and only the screen protector had a tiny crack in the corner! But you get cheap replacements!
Has anyone sees any good belt holsters for the Note 7? Most of the options I've seen so far seem to block the edge displays with the case portion rather than trying to grab the phone from the corners. Also, I'm hoping for one that's compatible with tempered glass screen protectors.
Edit: Just spotted this on Amazon. Not too familiar with i-Blazon products. Anyone have any prior experience with their holsters?

I like Zizo but looks like it might obscure the curved display a bit but it comes with a glass screen protector so at least you know it would be compatible!

I typically swear by them, but this deduce feels so good in my hand, I'm having a hard time deciding whether or not to buy a case..
That as a screen protector. The glass is just silky..
On the other hand, a skin I am seriously considering..
Any and all discussions and inputs most welcome..
*also if your using a screen protector, which one and what type of material?
from note 7
https://www.tech21.com/en_us/evo-frame-case-for-samsung-galaxy-note7
have an otterbox defender on order so i got the t21 while i wait, i like it so far, slim and protective.
I have the tech21 one and will use it if I need better protection. I don't care for its ergonomics especially when it comes time to remove the S-Pen! It's too hard. The buttons require a lot of force to actuate too. And I question the deep wells around the microphone holes how they may affect sound quality when recording video...
I just got this today:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GHVLU90/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's super thin and shiny and all. For $5.99 it's a no brainer if you are a member of the "barely there" crowd.
I don't know what Diztronic has against edge phones as there was no case for the S7E and probably the Note 7 as well. They are my favorite case for thinness. But for now this six dollar shiny plastic will do.
EDIT: Now I see Diztronic does have a Note 7 case! Looks to be backordered a week or two but I will be getting it.

My wife has the Caseology Parallax series in the Mint color she loves it, a decently grippy case with the back being kinda soft with dimples. I've got the Spigen Neo Hybrid Gunmetal case, not as grippy as hers but still feels good. Pretty slim case though (doesn't add much bulk at all) and it fits like a glove. Got both off Amazon, for $14.99 and $15.99 I believe. Now I've just got to find us some screen protectors that won't peel on the edges. We got the Skinomi Techskin Full Coverage (case friendly) version 1 protectors and mine peeled like crazy and my wife's is on pretty good. Haven't heard much about the version 2 that just released, I'm hoping they fixed the issue. Anybody tried the version 2 Skinomi Techskin case friendly version with a case by chance?

It specifically says "version 2" in the description when ordering on Amazon. My description does not include "version 2", as well as clearing it up with Skinomi, when asking for a warranty replacement due to this thing peeling. But ordering it directly from Skinomi or elsewhere, I'm not sure, I don't know if on the box it says revised version 2 or anything like that, as I haven't received it yet. Do you have the Skinomi Techskin too?

Otterbox defender plus. I have been an avid Otterbox supporter since I got my first one, which I believe was for my Galaxy S6. I have owned multiple variants, but since I have been known to be a little rough with phones I need their top of the line model to feel safe.

Otterbox Symmetry eh? You must be fairly careful and gentle with your phone.
I have this case on my PIxel 3 that I'm trading in and love it. It's super slim and has a grainy texture similar to the black sandstone from the One Plus phones.

I'm gonna start off with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear case for everyday use. Ideally, I want a case that's gonna stop me from accidentally palming the Edge screen as that annoyed the hell out of me on the S7 Edge I had for a couple of months. So if anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to them!
