How to avoid scratches due to the S View flip cover - General Questions and Answers

I have the Samsjng Galaxy grand 2 and also have the S View flip cover on. It scratches my screen a lot. The plastic on on window of the flip cover makes those scratches. Is the plastic film removable? Can I try to exert pressure on the plastic and will it come out? Will it stop the working of the S View?

[Q] Camera lens

I've had this phone for about 3 weeks now, and i just noticed i have couple small thin scratches in the lens of my camera. Scratches doesnt affect picture quality yet, but if it keeps scratching at the same speed soon all pictures will be blurry.
I'm wondering is it possible to replace the protective glass in front of the actual lens. Anyone done it before? How much does it cost?
same problem here too
same problem here !
wonder if there is a protection case for the lense like a sliding mechanism to close the cam for protection like at the good old nokia 6680
There are few listings on eBay for Galaxy S camera modules, but looking at some of the pictures, they don't seem be sold with the front cover.
Anyways, why don't you put a piece of clear tape over it ? I did that few days after I received my phone. Didn't notice a difference in image quality.
I'm using Realook screen protector and it comes with camera lens protection film as well (x2). Works great.
I've had a silicon rubber bump case (covering sides and back) since end of July on my SGS and don't have any scratches at all on the lens.
I bought this after the plastic 'black-nickel effect' bezel marked in my pocket on day one of owning it.
It keeps the lens about 1.5mm away from pocket surface.
I work in the buidling trades and my pockets get full of abrasive dust.
I stopped using a screen protector after a couple of weeks when I found out screen was definitately gorilla glass. So far so good.

What I done when I had my Galaxy in its silicon case was I folded the screen wipe cloth up and placed this over the lens. The case held it in and this made sure that nothing scratched it while it was in my pocket. I quickly ditched the silicon case for a leather pouch which has a soft lining.
It's kinda pity that Samsung selected a regular glass for the rear camera lens, and not the same glass as they put on the display.
Even before I got my phone I purchased an SGP Ultra Oleophobic screen protector, It also came with a 100% clear film for the camera lense and its working great!
mine dirt is inside the glass a white tiny particle

Mime screen protector with S-View Cover?

I was wondering for those with the Mime glass screen protector and the S-view cover from Samsung if the cover still closes fully?
Does the cover still lay flat onto the screen? Like is it touching the screen? Or can it not close all the way. Thanks

GKK Ultrathin Matte Bumper Protection Case For Honor 8

Had the original transparent case from Honor from day one on my Honor 8 Sapphire Blue with a glass protection on screen.
I ordered the GKK Ultrathin Matte Bumper Protection Case in blue off ebay could it came within 3 weeks from China something like €2.30 free shipping.
It's a 3 part case where the top and bottom parts cover once on cover up to the screens board line and the mid section the main bulk of the phone. The top and bottom covers have two each locking tabs (push fit) into theid section of the case.
One on its a nice tight fit around the device and lays flat on the screen No Gaps.. All punched holes are spot on, camera's sensor, jack plug, speaker, mac's fingerprint sensor and charger port. Must say the light sensor cut-out is over sized for some reason not round but oblong with top and bottom being curved. The volume and power buttons all make a positive travel with a soft soft click sound when pressed.
The mid section of the case once on hugs the phone nicely and meets up with the top of the phones frame edge and not curved round over to met the screen.
Having said that the case feels good in the hand nonslip does not make the phone look bigger or feels heavier.
I left my armoured screen glasses protection on when fitting this case NOTE if you choose to leave an armoured screen protection due to the thickness of the armoured glass you will need to offer up basically take you time and make sure the top and bottom of the case when fitting is over the armoured protect and push down slowly to met up with the mid section.
Reason being if you just went and try and put the cover or or force the cover on you'll have a high rate of the armour cracking, breaking..
The other option would be to use a protection film on the screen and one could just push fit the cover section in place without worrying about any damage.
Like the phone itself the bumper case is a fingerprint magnet but it's an around good protection to the body of the phone and still use the phone as if there was no phone case on it..
Is it worth it? Yes
Can you fit case if device has a armoured glass protection? Yes but be very careful take you time very tight fit.
Would I recommend others to buy it? Yes
Doesn't seem to move or slip off a flat surface while it vibrates on calls..
looks nice, would have chose a different colour tho
It looks like a hassle....i just need a strong back case and a tempered glass that covers the whole screen.....i got the cover all right but finding the tempered glass is a bit of a hassle the Terapin ones i got did not covered the whole screen it has like 0.5 cm space from each side

It's not snap fit all in a few seconds without an armoured screen protection otherwise one needs to take care if fitting over an armoured screen protection.. All in all it's a well made and designed case..
There is a similar case where it protects the rear and sides leaving you to put a screen protection on at ease..

Sorry cause i don't understand...does this full armor case has a glass that protects the actually screen or does it just cover the whole phone except for the screen?
Also if you already have a tempered glass on your phone do you need to remove it? or you can apply the case without any issues?
It just covers the phone the screen is exposed no protection..
My phone already had a armoured screen protection on it and l carefully put the top and bottoms of this case over it..
How does the case feel in the hand? And do you have trouble whit the screen, knowing it covers the phone exept the screen

What cases have a lip around the sides to protect the sides of the curved screen?

Are there any cases out there with a lip to protect the sides of the curved screen? I've only owned phones with flat screens before and only used cases with a lip all around. Just worried about the sides of the curved screen getting damaged in an accidental drop if there isn't a lip to protect it.
Thanks

Quite a few do. The Otterbox does, but that's the only case I use so I can't name the others.
Most make with TOP and BOTTOM lips to lift the display but a couple have ALL AROUND lips. For a curved display, I prefer the TOP and BOTTOM only because it leaves the curved sides unobstructed.
even with lip protection, all it takes is a fall flat on the ground a nick to mess up the screen, i lost out on my s7 edge that way even though i had a unicorn beetle, my back glass also cracked even though had double protection in the case.
I have dropped my S9 and my previous Honor 8 more times than I can count on concrete and everything else in Otterbox Commuter cases and neither ever suffered a mark.
This was the first case I bought for my s8. It came up over the sides. I felt it blocked the overall look. I bought the phone for the curves. I hope this helps.
With it on the phone.
Tuff cases WITH the military grade shield on the products protect the sides of the glass as well. My s7 Edge has been dropped a lot and have suffered no damage. There are Tuff cases without the shield on the product but they are NOT as good for the sides of the phone.
Speck Presido Grip .
Yes I can confirm Speck Presido Grip has a slightly raised lip above the screen. It's only about as high as a piece of paper but still it's above the screen. Nice case.

For those who own the following cases:
Spigen Tough Armor
Tech21 Evo Check
Supcase UB Pro
Speck Presidio Pro
Rhinoshield Solidsuit Classic
Otterbox Symmetry/Commuter
Are the side lips higher than the screen or only top and bottom?
If you have wireless charger, does it work with the case and how about the reverse charge?
Thanks

Looks great but does it lay as flat as the Incipio Dual Pro on table top? Would be great if you can take a picture with similar angle. Thanks.

It doesn't sit totally flat because of the ridges on the back but it isn't terrible. I only get a slight rock when pressing on the very edges. The pics do make it look worse than it is.

I swear by the Speck Grip case. I am gentle on phones but it has never let me down with the occasional drop. It is thin but has great grip. Not an exciting case. A functional everyday case.
I HIGHLY recommend the Whitestone protectors. The adhesive makes them SUBSTANTIALLY more chip/crack resistant and the touch sensitivity is light years ahead of other protectors (like ZAGG). It was my go-to on Note and now S10+.
I am a minimalist and finally found a case that's thin but also adds SOME protection. TORRAS on Amazon. The hard plastic has a matte finish, amazing touch and feel but little protection. The silicone option is thin, has ridges to protect camera and screen but slides in pants and pockets easily. It DOES offer drop protection relatively.
The speck grip isn't available in Australia. I had the opportunity to use the Spigen Slim Armor (two piece case with kickstand) and incipio dualpro (two piece).
The Spigen does not have a lip that is raised up on the sides of the screen, but has lips on the top and bottom.
The incipio dualpro does have a very small lip on the sides that is raised above the screen. It's at most the thickness of a sheet of paper. I will take some pictures later.
The buttons on the incipio are much better and I have returned the Spigen case, although I will miss the kickstand.
Otterbox Pursuit lips is raised all around including the sides.

Screen Protector or Flip Case?

Hello Everyone! I have recently purchased a galaxy note 10 lite.. apart than the selfie camera I am liking it very much. But recently I found some micro scratch on my screen .. as in I am not using any protector but do use very carefully. Should I get a screen protector or flip case will be fine? And does flip cover gives scratches? Thanks
Hi, as a late reply: My personal view on these screen protectors: What do you all have in mind, that you think you need plastic foils, which should then be better than the Gorilla Glass our Notes have? I owned every Note, never had any protector and really love gorilla
That is also my answer to the flip cases: If you like flip, it is great. You will never have any scratches (gorilla!), and I myself like it very much to open and close my phone just by flip open/close.
The one from the 10LITE is also covering the edges, so a good covering against falling down. And that is what you should really fear: Dropping the phone on a hard surface! No screen protector helps here, just "bumpers", especially on the edges. Here I like flip cases, too: They add extra layer for protecting the screen - real layers, not 0,1mm.
