I contacted Mime USA the other day regarding their Feather+ screen protector and if they would be making one for the S5 and I received the following response.
"Hi,
Thanks for reaching out to us! We are currently gauging demand for a Feather+ for the Galaxy S5. If we receive enough requests, we will definitely make it happen

So if everyone interested in seeing this product come to life would head over to mimeusa.com and send them a email asking for the protector we might just see it happen.
Thanks guys!!!

Honest question: What's the difference between Feather and Feather+? Just the rounded edges?
I'm not one for glass screen protectors, but I'll send them an email to help you out.

Yeah, thats basically the only difference. But it makes a big difference in how long it will last. The regular Feather has a tendency to chip on the edges easily if your not overprotective with it and the Feather+ basically just eliminates that from happening. Thanks for the help man.:good:
I just installed the Ghost Glass on my S5 yesterday and I am really impressed by the quality.
I have the feather glass and I am very happy with it. I had it on my S4 and never had a problem with the edges. I also had it in a case all the time. This glass on the S5 sits flush with the home button as well as the bezel around the phone. I don't think you would have a problem with the edges without a case. It's so thin! Thinner than the feather on the S4.

I made a album of what the feather glass looks like on the S5 after proper installation. Because of the raised edge on the S5 you have to be pretty exact but don't freak out if you mess up, you can lift it off VERY CAREFULLY with plain floss and try again.

Lol, sorry I jumped on the defense there.
Yea it worked well for me, I had to redo mine 5 times because I didn't clear the dust off well enough which was causing bubbles and because of the raised lip you have to align the glass perfectly. I used floss to peel it off and just went very carefully only lifting with the floss and was able to redo it several times. I did this before on my old phone and broke the glass because I tried lifting with my finger.
I have the feather glass on my S5, everything works and looks great and it even fits with the otterbox cases.

The feather glass sits flush with the home button so the scanner works just fine. The ghost glass is thicker so it might not work as well. I don't know what will happen with water. I would definitely wait a couple days to make sure it's totally adhered. It may loosen it up or it may not. I would assume it would be fine but I don't know for sure. Even though the phone is water resistant I don't plane on getting it wet on purpose.

Like the last guy said, the ghost glass is significantly thicker when thinking in terms of nm & mm. I have the feather glass on mine and couldn't imagine having anything thicker as it sits flush with the home button as it is now. I've put mine completely underwater, no issues with the glass. As long as you dont have any bubbles around the edges it's air tight, waters not getting in. Take your time putting it on and make sure you clean every single tiny spec of dust. Glass protectors are pretty unforgiving if you mess up. I was able to redo mine several times lifting very delicately with floss however. The lips on the phone make it so if your off by even a nanometer you'll have a bubble.

Just wanted to share this story .. 100% true . Was out drinking last night... Was leaving a spot in my buddys jeep and forgot my phone was on the hood still .. We run over it, then the honda behind us runs over it. I get out prepared for heart break ...... The phone is absolutely perfect still. I know what you're thinking , how is that possible... I dunno, devine intervention maybe haha . All I know is that this case plus zag shield = indestructible.
I'm not one to embellish stories... Just thought I would let you know the otter box thing isn't all hype.

whats the difference between the commuter and the defender ..I have the commuter and I had the impact and hated it
i am going to get a new case now and what should i get the commuter or defender everyone seems to hate the impact
I recently got the defender..... way to big and the sylicon shell always pops off on the sides. I got it for 30 on Amazon so I couldn't resist, but Im sending it back Monday and having it replaced with the impact case

I need a new case with a kickstand (i watch a lot of movies on planes) and a belt fastener. Anyone have a good one that works? Sorry if this is the wrong place.
The otterbox defender comes with a holster that u can lock the belt clip open and use it as a kickstand. Its really big though.

Sorry is this for the samsung fascinate?
in samsung fascinate section, in fascinate accessorries...yes..its for the samsung fascinate..
EDIT: Im an ass
I ordered the commuter case from amazon ($23) and realtek screen protectors day after getting my phone and they've been great the couple months I've had it. I was going to get the impact but after reading all reviews about it being a lint magnet I changed my mind. I'm glad I did, just the little bit of silicon exposed on the commuter attracks lint enough that every few days it needs a good wipe down.

I purchased one and periodically I'd take off the case to showcase the phone's build quality because my friends were curious and today I noticed after owning and using the case for about 2 weeks that it leaves scratches all around the metal band. So now the entire front metal band on my phone is completely scratched up because of this case. So please stay away from this case and save your money for something better.
Well since you started. Ill continue.
The fusion one i got is warped at the bottom where charge port goes.
It fits well everywhere else except there. Im not gona damage my charge port because i have to force a charger in there due to the case firment issues.
Its very slippery and either i have oily fingers or the back of the case has an oil leak like my car.
The one i wanted to check out was the fusion max protect? Something like that.
But the tech21 looks like will get my monies once its available to other vendors

I've been doing some more research and apparently it's not the case but more of small particles of debris rubbing on the soft aluminum finish. So it's not really more of the cases fault and more it happening eventually from any case. either way still disappointing because my entire front looks beat. Oh well i'll learn to live with it.
people dont know how to take the case off so they mess up the phone and blame the case...pretty sure u are takin the case off wrong...if you buy a rinke...and rake it off like a tpu case...its gonna scratch!!!! ...its hard plastic ..raking it off will make it hold even tighter!

Educate the public on how to remove a case then...
I also purchased this case and in 2 days it has scuffed up the sides as well.
As others have said, how do you take off a RingKe case without messing up your phone?
I personally went with Seidio and glad I did. Almost brought a ringke but I'm glad I didn't. Wouldn't have known how to properly remove it. I recommend the OP leave the tittle the way it is. Even if it is the OP using it wrong, word needs to get out that these type of cases need a special touch on them or they ruin the look of your device.
its going to happen with other cases as well

Glad I got my body glove satin case, I often take it out to show friends and not one scratch on white note 4
this is true mine has scraches whenever i remove the case and i dont remove it ofter
TPU is fine, stay away from the polycarbonate cases
Yikes, I'm sorry your phone got scratched up. I have the same case in SF Black and I remove it to switch batteries every night. So far, not a single scratch from it, maybe I'm lucky. I know it's weird, , but maybe it's the way you remove it? I usually turn my phone upside down and use my nail to expand the corner outward, before moving to the top (now bottom) part of the case to do the same.
As others have mentioned, be wary of dust and other particles that may get between the case and the bezels. I always give a quick blow into the case and a wipe with microfiber before placing my (also wiped down) phone back into it.
It sucks that it scratched your phone, but I can't say I've had the same experience, this is my favorite and go-to case for my Note 4.

Also, after examining the edge of the ringke and the iBlason, the edge seems very sharp and I think this is what is causing the scratches. I am going to try and chamfer the sharp edge and see what happens. I think some emery cloth and a little patience will go a long way.
Hi
Is someone so kind to explain the differences between case materials? Tpu, silicon, policarbon,gel, ...?
Is tpu the same as silicon?
Buying from the Internet is a mess, without touching and trying it before.

I don't think it's the cases, I think its the environment. Dusty or sandy environments I believe contribute to the scratching. Particles get between the case and the phone etc. Thats why people have such different experiences with the same cases. Ultimately I hope Samsung comes up with a better exterior design that avoids the soft exposed metal trim. I personally would have preferred the black paint all the way around as it has been far more durable for me. My wife will be going with the S6 when it comes out but only if they do away with the current metal trim thats on the Note 4.
I posted in the two case threads that I found on here, but I will post here anyway because I am pretty excited. I have used UAG cases for many of my phones and their build quality is fantastic. Unfortunately they did not have a model made for the LG G3, but it looks like they decided to produce one for the LG V10. That is great news to me! I was under the impression that they would not be making one according to a previous thread.
LINK: http://urbanarmorgear.com/collections/lg-v10-cases
I had the cases for Note 3 and G4 and they're nice.
But $40 is...?
Finally! Knew this was in development and been running my phone naked for a while so I could get this. Thanks OP!
finger print
it says on their website they it is compatible with finger print reader, i wonder if they mean the issue with the case and finger print scanner or simply that it does not block the finger print reader .
I was waiting for this too! I have one for my note 2 and I really like it.
I hope they do some sort of sale though cause I'm feeling pretty cheap right now.
So are they both "clear"? I have to decide which color to get now...
There were no translucent cases when I was buying stuff for my note 2. I really like the idea though!

The scratches can only really be seen if you angle it in the right lighting. It's not that bad in my opinion.
And yeah at least mine is. Kept the phone in the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case and babied it. Saw one day that I had the cluster of scratches you see in the picture. Decided to see if I could make any more scratches in that specific area with a knife or a razor blade, but it didn't scratch it so I'm not exactly sure what caused them.

Nice, so the case does not touch the tempered glass protector on the sides at all?
Is the rubber at the bottom/port area thin or thick? The UAG for my Note 5 is real thin at the bottom and I'm hoping it's a little thicker on the V10 case.

My UAG went to New York on it's way to Florida and I won't see it until next week.
You're welcome! If you'd be willing, could you update the thread with your findings regarding the scratches near the screws? Maybe mine is an isolated incident.
That's funny, mine has scratches in pretty much the same spot. I'm rarely staring at the back of my phone though so it really doesn't bother me. I'm really not feeling the fit of the case though. The UAG cases for my note 3 and 4 were much more squared off on the sides making them much nicer to hold. The v10 case is rounded on the sides so it's definitely much more slippery than what i'm used to from them. This case feels a lot like the Spigen slim armor case for my g3, which I wasn't a huge fan of.
I'll probably keep it on for a while to see if I can get used to it, but it's definitely disappointing as I was really looking forward to getting this one on and not worrying about a case again.

Will do, I have noticed those same lines/scratches near the fake bolts on other UAG cases for the Note 5 and S6 that I purchased in the past. It seems to be a problem on the transparent cases and not the solid colors.
Hopefully mine will show up Monday.

It's such a hard choice to make, even I want to take off the case, it feels so good!
I left my case on for now especially since it's my first all glass phone I don't really want to damage it
I dont like extra thickness and weight it adds when you put tempered glass protectors on front and back..
I've dropped the phone a bunch of times without a bcase, granted not onto asphalt. While aluminum is very pretty it dents quite easily, but the screen has held up well.

I have ordered a dbrand skin for my S6. Was tired of using a case on this beautiful device.
I was being sarcastic man. Do u really need a post to let people know u removed the case of your phone?
I'm using a ~4.50 $ clear case that I bought on eBay. It's all silicone, super thin and looks really good because I still see all my phone. I get to enjoy the S6's design and yet have an excellent grip. No more worries of it slipping or worries when putting it down on a desk.
Yes, Ofcourse its good decision to take off the case. And today smartphone cases is one type of trendsetter of the tech industry. It is also important to protect your precious devices by using glass screen protector and cases.
Decided to put my case back again! After some weeks naked and one big drop, I've got a big dent on the speakers and 2 corners. The aluminum is the worst part of the phone since it's polished. If it had some kind of pattern to hide the dents, that'd be cool, but it's all plain polished! A bumper case would be ideal..

I do. Naked for the last month (on Sapphire Blue that I am selling now because I got Solar Red). No scratches at all.. But it is always in pocket alone (no coins/keys) and pretty careful about where I place it.
Gorilla Glass 5 is pretty scratch resistant, but I'd suggest to prepare your heart for some unexpected scratches even if you take good care of your device if you plan to use it naked. Micro scratches are somewhat inevitable from day to day usage.. its not the big item (keys, coins) that cause scratches, its the tiny ones (sand) and hard particles. IMO, the best bet for a naked phone to remain scratch free is to use it with a dedicated pouch.
I will be going naked soon once my skinomi full skin arrives
I received a review unit last month, and it's definitely can be scratched. By judging the scratches, I can tell it's because of the camera bump, so that on the back, there's a tiny area touches the surface (on a desk or some furnitures). Make sure the surface is clean, otherwise some dust/sand will scratch it pretty hard.
My own unit I always put a case on.

Oh. I'm sure can be scratched. It's been naked for the last 3 days since every case seems to take the red shine away and make it appear pinkish. I've been investigating clear skins but I'm not sure it won't have the same effect AND be stuck to it and hard to remove. We'll see how it goes.
Thanks! :good:

Agreed, any case will make it looks much less impressive.
Good luck for hunting the protection! If you find a good one let us know!

Got the Seidio Optik today in the mail and it screws with the colors/coating and again makes it look like its painted with Pepto Bismol. I was thinking about trying the Ultra Clear Phantom skin but I'm seriously apprehensive about it doing the same thing and it would be stuck to the phone. It would be a one shot maybe. I guess I'll just keep looking. :/

Did you take a look at the ultra clear case from Spigen?
You must like it, I don't have it but there are hydrofilms for the back.

Yes. It was the first case I bought. It's not bad but dulls the color effect in the same way.

This looks promising. Thanks!
Received my Skinomi skin yesterday. It takes time to apply and need patience. Bubbles disappeared overnight (i installed late evening). It doesn't hide the shine of Solar red at all plus the skin on sides make the phone non-slippery. But with greasy fingers, you will be constantly wiping the skin with a cloth or your shirt I will give it 4 out of 5.

Excellent. The folks at Phantom Skins said the same thing about their Ultra Clear skin. So now we have 2 choices.
I just want something to prevent scratching. I'm not in the habit of dropping my phones so the uber protection from a case isn't foremost on my mind. I just don't want to scratch the shiny surface.
Thanks!
Can a sleeve like this one https://smile.amazon.com/fitBAG-tai...qid=1500675015&sr=8-10&keywords=HTC+U11+pouch be enough to prevent scratches? What do you guys think? Should I use a full body coverage instead? And what's this hydrogel films, is it some kind of poly-carbonate? I'm saving right now to get the U11, and this is one of my main concerns after using metal phones for years

I think the sleeve would work fine. I'm probably going with the ultra clear skin as I'm really only worried about scratches. I've had a lot of phones and not one have I caused the screen to crack on. This could be a first but I'm going to try to keep up my streak.
I got the Lightning Knight clear case today in the mail. It's the best of the 4. It doesn't totally make the red into pink and there is still some red to gold in sunlight. It's a TPU case so the same drill.
I'm satisfied with this for now. I'll probably end up with a skin sooner than later but this will do for now .. for $7. Why not.
