Screen knight screen protector...

Hi all,
Has anyone used these...
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=151018270594
Just ordered one and will try and post a review.

No one used these protectors on their phone?

No sir. I suggest the Halo brand ones from amazon. They're awesome.

Are they selling them in UK? As the last time I contacted them they advised to wait until someone starts reselling them but not sure if anyone has. But yes I've read that they are pretty good screen protectors.
As to knight screen protectors - its the first time I've heard of them from this thread but would be interested to see how they perform and if they are actually any good.

Yeah the guy sells them in the UK and posts worldwide. Will need to do an in depth review since no one seems to have heard of them. I should receive them either today or tomorrow.

I've got one on my n4. Good full screen coverage, really easy to apply. Quite gummy in use, but not too bad. I've got it on front and back. Only problem is that my poetic bumper case makes the corners and edges detach so I can't use it anymore. I do prefer the size without the bumper, but its a shame I can't protect the sides.

EDIT - I refitted the protector as I had an annoying small hair stuck under it. I got it more central this time and the poetic bumper fits fine with no edge raising or affecting the adhesion. I've tried a couple of different wet types on other devices - this one is by far the best.

I've just fitted one tonight on my LG G2. Will post in a couple of days what I think of it. At the moment it looks a little pants but that may just be down to the way I fitted it. :laugh: Lots of bubbles that I'm hoping will disappear in time. Back looks great though.

I'm generally pleased with my screen knight however I wonder if anybody has tried to take one off ater it's dried out. I'm a little concerned it may not lift well?

Thanks for the tip, I'm also going to try out this one.

Question to otter box defender people

I just picked up this case and really like it. And I had a screen protector on already so I popped out the otter box one. Seeing how it distorts the screen. Does everyone do this? Does it not protect it as much from drops? What's the downside?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app

I did the same thing. And I asked the same question before I did it. It hurts nothing the one thing is dust may get in easier but hey you cares lol. Ive dropped mine twice since popping it out and so far so good. 1 drop from waist height, not secured in the holster :banghead: second drop from like 4 inches. All in all I love the defender plus they dont add a lot to the phone like the old defenders did.

Yeah man I really like how slim this defender is. I'd love to see some drop tests done with it haha.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app

Just picked one up myself tonight. It's much thinner than previous defenders I've had and I really like it so far. I was planning on popping out the screen as well but it sits so tightly on the screen I can't even tell it's there.

I popped mine out cuz I already have a screen protector of better quality. The otter box ones usually distort the screen. Specially.the nice 1080p display.

I just took mine off and i think its better cause i constantly change cases. The only reason im not using the defender too much is because the proximity sensor doesnt function that well. Do you guys experience taking a call and when you are about to end it and take it off your ear the screen does not come back on? I had to press the home button just to make sure the call has ended. Kinda sucks cause i love the case.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium

Picked it up heavily discounted with my gift card I never used. All black was the first one they brought out from the back and its the one I wanted anyways. I have a cheap clear screen protector on (since I got the phone day 1) and the original defender case. Being a mechanic, I'd rather have protects from stains, grease, or any spills etc. than have a little noticeably clearer screen. Its also good cause If I decide to use a different case then I have a protector on it still. Love it so far.
I haven't experienced the "bubbles" people say I would get cause they never appeared. Probably cause this one is a very thin protector unlike some of the more expensive ones. Would recommend over Commuter series anyday, but if you just pop the defender screen off why wouldn't you guys just go with the commuter? Its cheaper and you are butchering a product meant for heavy abuse.

Because It still has more protection without screen protector from drops. Its a layered case with shock absorber.

Spigen Neo Hybrid Case cracks at the usb

I have the say it is the best looking case out for the GS4 but the main issue is the case will crack at the usb area. Top first then bottom. The area is thin. If they reinforce it some how this would last longer then 2 months. I have never dropped my phone and once on my phone it never came off until it now. Am I the only one?

Nope. You're not the only one with quality issues on your NeoHybrid.
Mine had paint chips which appeared from nowhere.
Seems like there are some serious durability issues with the NeoHybrid case.

My GSII NeoHybrid bumper case took a beating and kept going with so much abuse. I have to say design is 10 durability is a 2!

Running commando now that mine cracked at both sides of the headphone jack.

Yeah, my neo hybrid for the SGS2 last a long long time too. Not sure why for the SGS4 it crapped out on my so fast.

I hope people know about the short comings of the case even if it looks like one of the best cases. I wish they reinforced the area or used the same materials like the GSII case!

I had the same issue. I contacted them thru email and they were pretty fast to respond. They ask me to send a pic of the damage then they sent me a new one and it only took 3 days to get here. Looks like they're aware of the issues because the new one i received is a bit different, the usb insert part is actually a bit thicker and less likely to bend and breaks.

I got mine as a gift so I doubt they will send me a replacement. It is a official sgp item. What about the top headphone jack, is the area thicker?

Same here. Paint chips from light use. My case has never been mishandled and the paint chips. I have a red one.
I got so pissed off that I sprayed a clear coat on it lol. That did the trick. But for a $30 case it's very poor quality.

Can you post pictures of the new case and the areas the we are talking about?

Anyone have images of the new bumper if the top and bottom is reinforced?

just ordered a satin silver band from amazon, hopefully it's the updated band but if not I ain't too worried about it

Mine also broke at usb and I've never dropped or remove case, its just to thin there. They need to make it aluminum!

Heres the pic of the new one they sent me.. Notice tge difference?
I made a mistake saying is a bit thicker.. It looks the same but the new one with a lip seems sturdy when i try bending it.
As for the one asking for the headset, its the same.
I know the quality of the frame sucks but I do love this case...I always get a compliment how nice my phone is.

Galaxy s 4 lifeproof nuud

Just snaged one up from best buy and have to say its thin and light an awesome did the water test with the enclosed s4 test unit... its light and not as buoky as a defender but feeks like the same drop protection is offered. . The speaker is not real noticeably muffled depends on the music and volume level phone calls are good just gotta cut volume up a little but thats it no problems talking at all.. the only thin I have noticed is the light sensor is right next to the plastic housing for the ear piece and does make it slower to transition from bright to dark areas. .. thats the only negative thing I have found so far and its not that big of a deal and maybe the home button enclosure top is right under the space makes hiting the space bar a little awkward but can get use to it... if yall have any questions just ask if wanted I can make a test video of the case and stuff just let me know and I'll do what i can to answer or help. .. here's a picture of the box and the test unit will post more shortly. .. those were taken with the case on with glash so you can see how the pictures are a little
Update : I called lifeproof and have to say customer service was just awesome told them my issies and they were gonna send me a new caae and didn't even ask for said that thats not a known issue and they would give me another case becuase it shouldn't interfere with the light sensor so I said ill just exchange it best buy which I did and the 2nd one is just awesome no more issues with the auto brightness. ... and sound is better with this one I had to set my volume to half way for talk and speaker is no different than another case

No problem i have the otter deffender the s view aromr and out of those this is my favorite its alot lighter then the defender and not as bulky the clear back is awesome and doesn't seem to mess with signal that I can tell like the deffender... do what I did lol go to best buy and try them both there are subtle differences between the fre and nuud besides the screen protector like plastics around the ear piece and home butto have different contours...
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

Figured id update I exchanged for the fre the light sensor/proximity sensor thing was getting on my nerves and the only differences between the 2 are the fre has a more angled edge where as the nuud has more square edges around the screen which hides the sensors a little and of course the screen protector built in ither than that there the same loving the fre the inly pad thins is the screen protector seems pixilated a little I still love it tho

I am curious if this will work with the wireless charging back since it is slightly thicker.
On a side note, I went to a Verizon Corp Store and asked about this case (Huge Lifeproof fan) and the store manager told me "Lifeproof does not make these for anything but iPhones." So I pulled out my phone, went to the site and said "I can buy it now on the site, I was hoping you had them here." and he proceeded to call me a liar and says it was a fake site.....

i have actually been looking into this. Instead of a case though, i was thinking on one of those water coating opinions, some companies offer. It's quite expensive though....

You can really bust his chops when I called life proof about the auto brightness issue they offered me a replacement and I said no I'll switch out at best buy and asked them if I could get the 10 water protection plan they offer and she informed me that you can only get it from Verizon and the lifeproof website that's it lol... NFC works great and the abeam thing not sure about the wireless charging the back is not thick at all its about the same as a tpu case in my opinion

Just an FYI, I just bought the Qi Wireless charging back & charging pad, and the Lifeproof Nuud for my Sprint Galaxy S4 L-720, and it does maintain the waterproof seal with the wireless charging back on the device inside the lifeproof.

So you can't use any screen protector with this?
Sent from my Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk

Do they offer all the other accessories as well, like they do for the iPhone version? Armband, bike mount, go pro mount? I didn't see any of them listed for the S4 on their website. I'm debating between this and Seidio's OBEX case.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Nope. No accessories. Also, they're now on Amazon and by what I can tell they're the official cases. $57 for the Nuud and $51 for the Fre.

Lifeprrof nuud
I grabbed one from bestbuy as well for 95 its worth it except for the fact that the person on the other line can not hear me as well about half the time. Its frustrating to yell, I have contacting the lifeproof and they create a case file and say that they will get back to me asap its been a day now. When i emailed my complaint to otterbox they got on it right away. The otterbox defender doesn't work with the GS4 at all due to the hole for us to be able to use the button, eventually particles get underneath their screen protector and after use you move the particles scratching your surface or denting it. The defender also dented and scratched the bezel on the phone

When swapping to the fre did you return your nuud to the bestbuy or file a complaint for it? And if you did return to bestbuy did you return the scratch protector that they have in the box? Thanks in advance!

As for the screen protector you can use one. I put full Ghost armour Carbon Fiber (Blue) on with my Life proof and it looks bad ass with the Matte screen too. Well worth the LifeProof.
I've had my LifeProof since almost the day it was released at Best Buy with no issues. I had an issue at first with the sound coming through my ear piece but by simply turning the volume down it fixes it.

Obex is the only one I haven't tried. I've been through two otterbox preservers. They have a winner there if they can fix the mesh covers on the speakers.

I Hate This Stupid Phone

It just has so many flaws, I don't even know where to begin. I'm sure many others will agree with me.
The build quality is just too good. It is so fast, I can't even see any animations. I need lag in my browser, or it just feels fake. The battery life lasts way too long for me to be able to break in the charger that came with it. The back is so smooth, I think I'm going to drop it. People are always wanting to see my phone, because it "looks so cool", that I can never play with it myself.

Actually the phone being smooth is a flaw for me. I always feel like I'm going to drop It but I'd rather keep metal, so I'll live with it. maybe HTC could have put some sort of coating over the metal to make it less smooth.

You could try putting an XtremeGuard on the back. Maintains the metallic look but adds some grip. But of course if you like the feel of the metal then... yeah probably not =\

I have dropped mine 2 times, both from about 3-4 feet onto the pavement couple of small nicks on the metal casing but I am amazed at how well this phone holds up.

Yeah I dropped mine too. Fell out of my shirt pocket flat on its back onto concrete day after I got it. Scared me to death. Got a tpu case on eBay until spigen ships my slim armor later this month.

I agree. I have mine in a Otterbox case, if I remove the case I have trouble holding the phone. I think any coating would hurt the appearance of the phone but there are clear plastic slip-on cases that might not look too bad?
The Otterbox is just plain FUGLY but I need the protection and the grip!

I have a clear gel case on mine and imo it completes the phone. The metal finish is to slick...i'd drop it for sure. With the gel case its 100% easier to grip, its not slippery and doesnt add bulk to the phone. Also with it being clear you can still see the beautiful design of this beast. I cant say a darn thing bad about this phone

There's a few test videos on YouTube, drop tests from 4ft/7ft/10ft, one of the tests was between the M7 and M8 and the other was between the M8, the G S5 and the iPhone 5S, the M8 got the best results in both test, only finally cracking at the 10ft mark in the latter video, not cracking at all in the M7/M8 video. Also another video shows scratch tests with a key, butchers knife, pocket knife and a hammer. Though it was hard to see in the video, the guy recording said there was next-to-no, if not NO scratches on the device, even after hitting it pretty hard with a hammer, though he used the back of the hammer and finally cracked it.
I think it's safe to say this phone is near indestructible, not saying you shouldn't still baby it but you can feel better about an accident that may happen if you drop it or what not, not to mention the 6 month screen crack insurance from HTC Advantage

I can't seem to find a good case that'll protect and look cool, any advice?

I ordered one of these cases even though I like to run my phones naked. I figured I'd order a nice looking case just in case I'm going to be doing something that requires the protection. I thought it looked pretty nice, but that's just my opinion.

I also like how this one lets the phone's natural beauty show through.

I had the clear case with the black perimeter which I purchased with the phone at Big Red's store. I'm not sure, but I think the way the case's rubber sides was such that while taking off the case to access the microsd card I may have bent the metal near the volume buttons. That troubled me and forced me to put that case away. Big Red, thankfully, replaced my handset about a week later (I bought mine at 1:15 p.m. on 3/25/14), and I put a crystal clear TPU case on it which lets the Arctic Silver finish shine through.

I'm actually going to get my second replacement today... First had a small nick in the upper left corner, now this one has a strange bump in the center below the bottom speaker, resulting in warped metal. It wasn't there when I got it, but after some use it showed up. I guess be careful about applying pressure to the bottom corners of the device?
I feel like I'm being nitpicky, but idk... These are pretty glaring IMO.
Hopefully thirds a charm.

I ordered one of these cases even though I like to run my phones naked. I figured I'd order a nice looking case just in case I'm going to be doing something that requires the protection. I thought it looked pretty nice, but that's just my opinion.

I also like how this one lets the phone's natural beauty show through.

Beware of clear TPU: it will turn yellow over time... At least matte finish ones will.
I think diztronic makes the best slim and protective TPU cases. I recently got a translucent gray for my gray metal M8 and it's been great so far. Can't see all of the device's beauty, but it is see through.

I had a clear TPU but while minimal, it provided very little protection. I went back to the UAG. Great protection without a major additional bulk of the Otterbox defender.

Haha. When I saw the title I was like either this person is crazy or its defective. Only flaw on this phone is the camera in my opinion.

Why do people keep saying camera is bad?!! I took 2 photos, one with note3, and one with m8. U tell me which one looks better.....

And from the note 3.....
Hmmm...they both look fuzzy to me? Didn't look like that before I uploaded Them here.
Anyways, the point is, it's a good camera. It's one of my favorite features of this phone! I compared to note 3, and honestly unless your cropping them, they look about the same.
