Problem with a seller with that many feedback is, you can go months with purely negative feedback before it affects the % significantly.
The guy's a drop shipper. I actuallly bought a couple of Galaxy Portal cases and some SGS screen protectors from him last week. Had no problems with delivery on the stuff I ordered from him. I asked about the silicone SGS cases at the time and he told me he was currently out of stock - that's why I ended up buying the Zenus case.
ok, well ill order one up at £3.50 you cant really go wrong
If anyone prefers amazon,
heres a link to the item I bought mine from (it was despatched on Monday)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003U6VTOC/ref=oss_product
I ordered one of those yesterday and received an email through to say it had been despatched, hopefully it'll arrive soon.
Just a quick follow up to this, it arrived after a couple of days and for the money the case is great. It fits well and isn't too thick and does it's job of making the phone a lot less slippy.
The screen protector shipped with it was a Terrapin one which is not bad although the edges didn't stick brilliantly.
One thing of note for a few phone calls people were complaining that I sounded muffled and finally I checked the mic and the hole for it in the case was cut but it hadn't gone all of the way through, no wonder people had trouble hearing me.
lol, yea my gfs turned up, i ordered mine the day after here and 3 extra days later it isnt here lol.
hers like you said was a really good fit, surprising for the money, all slots lined up and for £3 even the camera cutout has a small bevel
really good value for money, but if you want a decent screen protector dont buy this one because its included, imho its crap, well compared to my martin fields
The wife got one of these for her galaxy..she thinks its ok, however she is going to buy a jelly one as well as this one gets dusty and covered in little hairs (so she tells me!)
Also the screen protectors edges don't stick very very well.
She'll keep you posted on the jelly one (but its coming from hong kong..so it may be a while!)
as far as im aware its pretty much jelly anyway, i would think the real 'wobbly' ones lol would attract more lint etc

no i don't like those that are really jelly.
those attracts way too much dust.
you can always wash it off, but it's very annoying to do it on a daily basis

yea it looks great, and even better when you put them on the phone.
However, do you know if these i9000 case going to be compatible with samsung Vibrant
it's of the same phone design, no difference in the buttons cut outs
the only difference is in the front facing camera which some of the USA carriers are missing
those cases doesn't cover the front anyways, so it's not an issue

Worth every penny. No joke, if you like these get one from the AT&T store.
Sent from my Atrix 2.
Agreed. I have tried almost all of them and Moshi is the best IMO. No soapy water, no wait to cure and no bubbles. Just wipe off your screen and apply. And if you don't place it perfectly, just pick up and reapply. I have taken them off, rinsed them in the sink, let them air dry and reapplied, no problem. Some claim it desensitizes the screen, but not my experience. Can be a little pricey ($20 to $25) and hard to find at a discount, but well worth the ease of use for me.
Somehow I failed to notice that it completely covers the notification light. Fail.
Sent from my Atrix 2.
does it degrade the screen quality? i ask because i have friends with iphones who bought anti-glare screen protectors and their screen looks horrible and they have the retina display.

I was also bummed when I noticed this (I thought the led was broken at first). I emailed Moshi and they said it was something Moto change last minute and to ask for a refund from AT&T. I bought a $2 xtreme guard from Amazon that came today. I'll try it out tomorrow and give ATT a visit.

I have the Moshi and while it is easy to use, covering the LED notification light is a deal breaker.
While it's a great idea, the Moshi isn't worth it. I bought it from the local AT&T store for about $30 and applied it in a couple seconds. I got home and realized that I put it on *slightly* off, so I took it off and washed it, then left it to air-dry. I let it dry for a bit more than 48 hours, and then I picked it up to apply it to my A2. There was STILL bits of residue from the water that was easily visible. I washed it again and dried it 3 more times, getting as much water off the screen as I could, but 2 days later there was still signs of water.
So, unless you can find a place to put a piece of plastic for a week without any dust getting on it, don't even think about washing it. As for the notification LED, I didn't notice it because it was only applied for a few hours, but it's certainly a deal-breaker for me. However, I'm a bit skeptical about Moshi's excuse. How could they NOT know that there was a notification LED for such a device? It sounds to me like the just didn't see it 0_O
Sigh... off to the AT&T store for me to see if I can get a refund, although I threw away that cheap (but expensive!) piece of plastic a couple days ago :\. It's too bad about the notification LED, because otherwise I would be willing to buy that again and just not wash it .
I bought one of these and it had the notification light issue, I emailed support and they sent me out a brand new one that corrects the issue for free. My wife has the same phone so I just put it on hers. I really dont need the notification light.
Don't like these or the extreme guards. I buy mine off ebay for a fraction of the cost and they work fine. Have always protected my screen and never damage anything.
The Moshi makes my screen look grainy.
The Xtreme is too hard to apply. One mess up and you might as well throw it away.

That's great! I might try doing that because it's a great screen protector besides the washing/reapplying thing.
EDIT!
I emailed them yesterday and they replied, saying:
Hello,
Thank you for your email.
We’ve heard from a few customers that the iVisor for the Motorola Atrix 2 doesn’t match the phone in the way it was intended to. Unfortunately, the phone’s design was changed at the last minute by the phone manufacturer and both AT&T and Moshi were unaware of this.
Please send it back to our Sunnyvale office and we'll send you an updated version of the iVisor for the Motorola Atrix 2 under warranty coverage.
Attn: Service Center
491 East Evelyn Ave.
Sunnyvale, CA 94086
Please make sure to include your return address and proof of purchase along with the following RMA number: ###########. We will send out the replacement within 7 days of receiving your RMA.
Best regards,
Technical Support

Since I don't have the protector with me I emailed them back asking if what I had was enough to exchange: The cardboard slip with instructions/warranty info, the cleaning cloth, and (possibly) the receipt from the AT&T store. I am waiting for a reply.
So, even if they did mess up and forget about the notification LED, they have great support and stay on top of all their products.
I love how the moshi screen protector looks on the phone. I'm not big on branding so the black under coating is perfect for hiding the AT&T and Motorola logos. After using an antiglare protector I can't be happy without it. However the dealbreaker for me was how little tackiness it had. Without a case holding the screen protector in place it would shift around in my pocket. Eventually it would slide off completely. I bought two, the first applied by the store associate, the second I applied myself. Same problem both times.
After a while of using the protector I think I would prefer a different one. It is very convenient but it is very soft and scratches/marks easily. Their technical support is amazing but the product is just OK... and also pretty expensive.
The feeling of the the screen protector is kind of weird... it's tacky but not tacky at the same time. It is very, very smooth... almost like a really clean chalk board, and you finger can very easily glide across it... but as soon as you apply too much pressure it gets fairly tacky.
It also makes the screen look grainy, although it's bearable.
Hi there.
I've got the problem that I have to decide between two devices. P9 or H8.
The H8 looks, imo, better and feels better. A bit thicker and heavier. That's what I like, until now I use the one M8, there I know what I've got in my hands
The biggest deal breaker so far is the back side. Made of Glas. I hate this kind of coolness, that seems to be more important than durability.
Additional there is in Germany no warranty for the first months to get front or back replaced if broken.
So what's your experience with the phone? Already dropped it out of hand or pocket? Perhaps landing on back or front? Did it survive everything so far, or was a side broken?
Next point is the price, honor 8 399€, P9 519€....
If it would have a metal back.....
I'm looking forward for your answers!
Greetings
Patrick
You can read something from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/screen-strong-t3456686 it gets scratched easilly with micro scratches (As EVERY device with back glass. I know this because i had the xperia Z1 and my friend has S6 edge which got scratched too) and I guess as long as you get a case and dont drop it you should be fine.

Thanks for the link.
Well that means that I will call my market and NOT take it. They shall sell it someone else.
A case and a tempered glass is not the problem.
But a crack from a minor drop, and easy scratches and so on, not thank you. That's not worth a saving of 120 euro....
Damned.
..
Well if you dont have both hands left you wont drop it. That's up to you but i also prefer to buy phones in classic shops instead of dealing with sending my phone for repair through mail (in case of RMA). This is why i bought Honor 8 instead of OP3.
It's not just because of my left hands
I also got a child with 1,5 years. And believe me, somehow she always gets her hand on my phone. And yes, I am sometimes a little bit left handed. My M8 fell down several times, always in a case, but never something (noticeable) happened. But it's getting sooooo slow, I need to make factory reset at least once a month to get a smooth phone back. That's annoying. And that's the point why I need a new one. Or want a new one. Depends on the point of view
And after I know that I definitely WILL let it fall down sometimes.... I go for some phone without a glass back. Seems to me a bit better for my money
And yes, I ordered the last phones on Amazon. But we hate each other now, so I will buy it at a store, or a bit cheaper at O2. But never ever again Amazon for electric stuff.
But I leave the point of this thread.
The glass seems to be ok, as long as you use a foil on the front and a case and never let it fall down.
Point one and two ist fine. Point three impossible. So I have to choose something else... Really a bit bad, cause I like the optic....
Point to add to this...
I've had my Honor 8 for a few weeks. I've never dropped it or set it face down. I don't put it in a pocket with anything else.
I've got a LOT of scratches on the face already. It's really disappointing. I looked online and to get a tempered screen protector (which looks like garbage because they don't cover the whole screen) I'd have to wait until mid October. I'm sure the screen will be in horrible shape by then.
I love the phone but they cheaped out on an important part.

Did you check out Amazon for screen protectors? I found a few on there BUT the best one in my opinion is the Skinomi FULL BODY wrap. I'm getting that one plus a clear case and that should protect it to a certain degree. I've used the Skinomi full body wraps on my HTC's and they work great at protecting from minor drops and scratches....
Good luck!!

Yeah the ones on amazon ship to me in October, no earlier. I'm pretty disappointed because I don't use cases or screen protectors on my phones, but my Nexus 5X was fine for 8 months so far with no scratches. I've had this one less than a month and it's starting to get bad.
Hello,
I bought the S6 some times ago now, and I bought first a standard cover with magnet from Samsung. After a month I get a crack on the top and lower side of the cover, where the phone is. Recently I decided to buy another one, a SView cover. After 3 days It starts to crack already...
I'm thinking about returning it, but I'm afraid they will say it felt on the floor or something while I never ever let my phone falling or anything...
Do you know if there's defective models or something like that ? They aren't cheap at all I was expecting something way way better in term of quality, especially from Samsung official products.
Thanks in advance
Had the same problem, return it

But they refuse to refund of change it blaming ME for letting drop my phone which is false (they did the same with my aunt to be honest).
Same problem for me. One corner is cracked after only one week. I've seen many post about that on the web, and it looks like Samsung doesn't do anything..
The s veiw covers are on sale at frys electronics 78 cents to 8 dollars
So.. I noticed I happened to scratch mine on the screen. I have no clue how and when it happened. Just noticed it. I did not have any protection for the screen. Never had them in the past. I did have a case though that lifts the screen up when placed facing down. I also never place my phone with the screen facing down. So I am assuming it happened somewhere else.
Since I bought it from Samsung directly, we have 30 days of free premium care support. Turns out that is through Assurant and they pretty much denied coverage on my device first saying it was not covered. When pressed they said they would cover it but I'd have to pay $99 for a replacement device AND that replacement device COULD be a factory refurbished device.
All bad news.. So I am deciding to return the phone back to Samsung since I am within my 14 days. The scratch is small enough and won't jump out on you... and you can't even see it if the screen is on.
Anyone with a similar experience?
:silly:
I doubt you'll find anyone willing to openly admit to also being as petty as what you've described above. How long do you think you'll keep up this game of exploiting (purchase, damage, return & repeat) before considering adequate protection to combat the OCD?!

This is whats wrong with America these days folks.. smh.
My firend out right cracked his S8+, filed a claim, paid $99 and got brand new device
This early in the game, they won't have refurbished units - in a month or so probably yeah
Side note, my wife dropped hers from about 3 ft and it has a scuff on the screen - noticeable but nothing horrible. Slapped a screen protector on it and all is good again. Gorilla Glass 5 is definitely a joke cause they claim should be good from higher distance
The feeling of entitlement these days is down right ridiculous.

What about the restocking fee are you not worried they might take more than 15% because of the damage?
Wow. The replies reflect how immature many of you are. You really think Samsung will take a scratched screen back without slapping a fee for it? When I called them to return it, I TOLD THEM IT WAS SCRATCHED. Since I'm within the 14 days and the scratch is small, they said they'll take it but may charge me a little.
I just didn't think it was fair for assurant to charge me $99 for what could possibly be a refurbished device when I'm supposedly enrolled in an insurance program.
Smh
Anyway. The post is more about how easily the screen scratches. I'd rather pay more and get a perfect phone than live with a scratched screen. I remember my first iPhone 6. that I had bought and my kid scratched it. Apple replaced it for a brand new one since it was only 3 days old.

I think you pay for return shipping also. Then you get to wait for them to process the refund. That tiny scratch costs you almost $150 if you consider time and shipping/insurance.
But have you guys scratched your phone too? I don't mind a case. Just don't like them screen protectors that much. It beats the purpose imo

I am waiting on screen protectors for back and front
So I returned my S8 to the store and it happened to have a very very faint small scratch on the screen even though I was careful with it and never rubbed it against anything. I don't know how it got there or if it was on it when I opened the box. BB didn't care though, and I returned it cause I was having other issues with the device. My new one came with a screen protector on it (t-mobile version) that didn't have any print on the protector so I've just left it there and you can't even tell lol. But I did find one screen protector I bought that had good reviews. Link here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XV9X72L/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

So let me get this...according to your logic it is ok for samsung to sell phones with the worst glass quality ever? There are complaints all over the place regarding the fact that S8 scratches very easy comparing to any other previous version. I also experience issues with this poor gorilla glass 5...having scratched the display after only 2 weeks although I was being extremely careful with the device. We are all having just bad luck? I doubt it.
I'm sure that the only solution is to have a class action lawsuit against Samsung...otherwise their answer will always be that it's the consumer's fault. Unfortunately it doesn't explode like the Note 7 in order to draw so much attention and force Samsung to admit the problem.
I just noticed a giant scratch on front screen. Phone owned less than 1 month never dropped and never mingled together with hard items like keys. This seems almost impossible. I've owned a smartphone since iPhone 4 and I've never seen a phone scratch this fast for no reason.
Corning has some explaining to do as I believe they are fully responsible. They have taken an easy piggyback ride on the smartphone industry and have advanced beyond their wildest dreams because of it. Now it's 2017 and they are releasing products which do not meet standards.
I totally agree. Corning and Samsung must give an explanation about the scratch resistance of the glass they have put on the S8. I never had problems with scratches on my Samsung devices since gorilla glass 3. What happened this year? Is it a mistake of Corning or Samsung? Do other devices with gorilla glass 5 scratch so easily? I personally bought an ultra thin case (it's the first time i put a case) just to prevent any more scratches.
They made gorilla glass 5 softer to make it more shatter resistant which in fault causes it to scratch easier.
Harder glass= more shatter/less scratches
Softer glass = reduction in shatter/ more scratches.
