Video Review: SGP Ultra Crystal Dual Screenshield

Hey fellas,
Got my hands on the new SGP Ultra Crystal dual series (and the regular steinheil models). With a device like the Nexus 4, which features front and rear glass - you'll really want to invest in front/rear screen shields to keep your device scratch-free. I noticed a few hairlines on my Nexus 4 shortly after purchase so I was very happy when I got the dual series in. Installation was super easy and they fit perfectly. The rear is covered 100% (except for the cutouts), while the front does have exposed areas, mainly on the sides. Being ultra crystal protectors, they offer great clarity and color visuals.
Check out the full review below for more info;

whoops! posted from my brother's account hehe. enjoy the video everyone!

I've been waiting for this! Thanks

A bit off topic but the Galaxy Nexus commercial came on before the vid... hahaha...
Good vid, liked how the protector would be great for cases but I wouldn't like if i wanted to keep the phone naked. I might actually get one to use w/ my Diztronic case. Thanks for sharing!

No worries, happy to help

I'm thinking of ordering these. Could you guys please tell me if this screen protector looks anything like in the pic below after installation? The one below is way too small.

They're like 95% the same. The spigen doesn't cover the two sensors on the left side.

Custom Nexus 9 Case

For those who are still waiting for a better case to come to the market like me, but cannot use it without a case, you can try cutting out the Nexus 9 Box for a temporary case.
Just did mine, and it looks great with the HUGE 9 in front plus bubble wrap protection in between, and a kickstand.

LOL. Ghettofabulous!

That's a sweet case you got there

Nice! LOL. I like the music too!

I'm using an old car handbook cover which fits perfectly. For once in my life I have successfully transitioned something I should have thrown away to something useful. My life is complete.

Nice use of rubber bands. Im using one on an ipad air case i found at sears on clearance.

Dbrand skins

Hello!
Anyone on here that's using dbrand skins on this amazing phone?
If so, what's your experience with dbrand skins, how does it look and feel on the phone?
I just ordered a full skin (front, camera and back).
Kind regards

Ordered one a few weeks ago, the dark brushed metal front and back and the orange camera piece. Will post up pics when it arrives. Bought a rinke fusion clear case to keep it protected.

I just got mine today, was rather annoying to install it on this phone due to that it hard aligning it properly:

Dark brushed metal back, also have the front done as well. I had the orange camera piece but it didn't look as nice. Wasn't as easy to install as I thought. Couldn't line it up easily and had to pull it off a few times. Which lead to creasing. Eventually got it on as straight as possible. Phone was turned off when I did it and noticed afterwards I didn't align the front exact and it left gaps in spaces. Overall it does make the phone look completely different, which is what I wanted.

Hey guys, I'm planning on buying one for my edge+. Do you happen to know any coupons for it? (if you applied any) Moreover, I don't see an option to apply one AFAIK. I tried checking out and went to the final page and I didn't see an option to apply a code at all. I hope you guys can help me on this. Thanks!

No I didn't see any coupons when buying mine.

Yeah, it is puzzling. I came across a coupon 'XDA' which is very old I know, but I wanted to see if it still worked, but I couldn't see a place to apply the coupon. Literally nowhere.

More photos please, especially front.

Close up Photos of the Honor 9

Just got my Honor 9 in the mail and it honestly looks really good. The body of the phone is a lot better than the Honor 8. I figured I'd share some close up photos of my phone for those of you that are curious.

Glad to know that some xda staff is getting this phone though,
Hopefully it can trigger the developent :fingers-crossed:

Screen Protector
Is there some kind of screen protector right from the package? I'm used to use tempered glass but there is none yet and the "model" for invisibleshield cut-off protector is not available as well.

I supose it was not in the package but separately right?
I'll wait till the model for invisibleshield is avaiable, but I'm always scared about my phones so a temporary protection would be nice and it's kinda shame they don't include on right on the screen from manufacture.
And how are you satisfied with your H9? Any bugs or anything?

Dude got a shelf filled with Honor phones.

Accessories Carbon case

Finally came the carbon (aramid) fiber case for the xiaomi 12. This looks to be made by the same manufacturer as the Oneplus one's.
Build quality and fit are top notch, same as my old OP 6 case.
Don't know if links are allowed, but bought it at aliexpress.

Nice case indeed. Looks like a little bit more special than my standard black cases. What did you pay for it?

I’m curious if it block the access of SIM card?

I paid 23€ for it delivered. Yeah they were normal black ones, but having had the same in the OP6 I wanted a little change hahahaha. Both look awesome imo.

Yeah, unfortunatelly. But being a dual sim, I don't find myself changing the sim cards regularly.
Thankfully it's pretty easy to remove and clip on. Also it protects the full body, unlike the OP ones, so that's a big plus for me. All the holes cut to perfection
Another big plus it's that it wont interfere with any screen protector, as it clips just to the frame. Now I'm looking for a good screen protector that covers all the glass. If anybody knows one, please let me know, I'll be very grateful.

I also ordered the cover, I'm still waiting. Please, is it magnetic? THX

Thanks for the hint.
Loved that case style also on my OP 6T.
Ordered one from aliexpress.

It's pure aramid fiber, so not likely.
