Hi guys,i bought s6 yesterday,and i really like how amazing is the design.......one question.....are you using it with a case and with a protection for the front screen,or without nothing?I would like to know if it is to much dangerous use it naked....Tnx a lot
I have decided to use a slim case because of the glass back and the protruding camera housing, I do not want to worry what surface I place it on. My Z3 compact with a glass back cracked after placing it very gently on a rough cement surface. I am also using a glass screen protector just in case, although I think that it is less important.
Hey,
Im looking for a tempered glass for the z5. Any good manufacturers to look out for?
Thanks
I bought this one. Fits well, has proper cut outs.

It's fine and fits well. Not sure how a 0.9mm thick piece of transparent glass can look cheap or premium for that matter
I ordered CaseBase premium tempered glass from Amazon. However I haven't received it yet and can't use it until November.
I ordered a german brand (or at least its sold under the name "wunderglass" meaning wonder glass; made in china ofc).
The fit is ... not that great tbh. The cut outs are fine and in place, but it has too much space to the bezel of the z5. Is there a brand which produces such glass protectors with a minimal gap to the bezel?
I've tried a lot of different brands and I found none that can compete with StilGut in terms of cut, quality and durability. It's made by a German company as well [in China]. A little pricey, but well worth their cost.

Excellent! I was just earlier looking for a front + back solution. And 20 bucks for both with 2 year warranty? Pfft, that's cheap.
Spigen's glas.tr slim costs 25$ and it's just a front protector. And it's 0.4mm compared to this StilGut at 0.33mm.
I take it you've got some personal experience of these StilGut protectors?
Q: How's the, uhm, quality I guess, of the oleophobic coating on them? Longevity wise?
I've previously used UltimateShield on my One M7 and on my partner's LG G3. Our gripe with them is how shortlived the coating was.
Didn't take all that long (a little over two months I guess) for the coating to wear off inb4 smudges galore and made the glass NOT easy to clean. Of course any coating will not last indefinitely but still..
P.S. That typo in the thread title made me chuckle, guess it's time for bed...
I got the StilGut front/back kit same day as my phone (Saturday). The cut is perfect as usual. I completely forgot that the Z5 had frosted back glass and wasn't sure if the tempered glass would work but it did. Unfortunately you lose out on the grip of the new glass but until someone puts the phone through some use and report back on whether the frosted glass scratches easily or not, I am not taking chances.
anoke is the best one I have seen/used, fits perfect and has front and back. $8.88 prime

Well you could go and sand the back protector.
Sandpaper (the wet kind and with it use water to contain the glass dust, you don't wanna breath that)
A flat surface to put the sandpaper on (a mirror for example)
Tape to hold the sandpaper in place
Elbow grease
Have fun!
Start at a low grit 120 or 240 and work your way up to 600 or 1000 or even 2000 depending on the look you want.
You can get wet sandpaper in kits, that have a variety of different grit, online or from your local hardware store and so on.
I recommend Nillkin 9h+ pro.
Nillkin Amazing H+ always the best glass for all Zs!
Now available also for back, used it for previous Zs and no any single scratch, durable 9h !!!
Can I just buy a front screenprotector and leave the back?
It has a frosted glass back but wouldn't the camera would be damaged without a screen protector.
Also i can't find a brand that has front and back screen guards only front.
Sorry i am new to using smartphones.

Sorry, could not stop laughing imaging you in the train with this, so noone could read over your shoulder.
I saw some sold online, but can not post links here(sure you can find them easily) and I can not say anything about privacy screens because I do not like any screens to be applied to original one. So instead of tampered glass I also have chosen original flip case.

I bought this one and I can vouch for the quality. It has the proper cut-outs for the front camera, sensors, and speakers. I've got it wet a few times and it's definitely not going to peel off due to moisture. One of my gripes with the Z5 was that the edges make the edges a little sharp to grip, but now with this tempered glass on it feels like the glass is flush with the edges like the iPhone.

And how easy was it to fit?
Hi,
Just got a 8.4 Tab S and Samsung keyboard.
Please suggest a good screen protector (either plastic or tempered glass) that I can easily in Canada (either online or store).
I will also need a case that can fit the tablet/keyboard with a stylus holder.
Thanks in advance.
I have this glass screen protector. No complaints.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010BUKH1K
I am not sure about the case, I use the Samsung snap on flip cover and love it but it wouldn't accommodate your keyboard. As far as screen protectors go I have a Zagg and I love it, they have always been my favorite and if the protector ever gets damaged they replace it for you.
I'm using a tempered glass from Japan + flip plastic casing.
Dropped my tablet from knee height few weeks back and my screen didn't crack.
Previously I had other tablets without a tempered glass and the screen broke easily.
So a tempered glass is def a must-have for glass protection.
Happy with my Beetle case and Tempered glass protector on my Tab S 10.5..All from Amazon...and less than 30 bucks combined....
With the beetle case I removed the built in screen proctector due to the ugly rainbow effect...
Can't say enough good things about both of these items for the 8.4" Tab S
intelliARMOR tempered glass
Although you asked about one that also holds a keyboard, if you opt for one that is for the tablet only this is a great one. MoKo Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 Case
I'd post links and did actually, but my post count is less than 10 so you'll have to do the leg work yourself on Amazon.
I went with the book cover hence no screen protector required
I bought the Beetle case myself yesterday, it has to ship all the way from the US to the UK, so it was not as cheap as yours, what tempered screen protector did you buy, though i am not the best as installing them.

I purchased the Anoke brand from amazon..cost me 11 bucks..
No problem installing a tempered glass, it's real easy compared to a regular wet install non tempered one..
You just peel away the adhesive side and line it up carefully and lay it on the tablet, then just touch the center of the screen, it will do the rest, you then remove any excess aIr bubbles with the included cloth, no mess , no fuss...
Can the built in screen protector be removed without damage so it can be used with the case in the future?
I have an tempered screen protector, but it came with some of the adhesive around the edge damaged and i got a refund, but it looks like this case the bezel is covered so it might not be seen, so i might be able to use it.
Thanks
John.

Yes, Just use a razor blade to loosen one end.
Its basically glued with a very light film, so it will peel off quite easily.....
But honestly when you see the ugly oily rainbow effect it has you will probably never want to put it back on...
I will see what it look like, and if it`s bad i will get an tempered glass screen protector, do you know what the weight of the beetle case, I cannot seem to find it, even on the supcase website or amazon, does it add a lot of weight? EDIT: Is is it 7oz approx 200g ???
Thanks
John.

It does add noticeable weight to the tabet but nothing that would cause any issues, for me I like the added weight, The Tablet s was so light I felt I was holding nothing and was afraid of dropping it everytime I picked it up.
Now I have something I feel comfortable caring around ..
I got my case yesterday, I cannot see any rainbow effect, did you remover the protective plastic from the inside of the screen before installing it.
Though the built in screen protector is an fingerprint magnet.

Yes,
Glad yours is working out..
Only issue I have thus far with further use is there is no kickstand on the case, but I have a portable tablet stand arriving tomorrow which should fix that problem...
Will let you know how it works out...
Ok got my Tablet portable stand from Amazon today, very sturdy and works great, has lots of different angle settings to fit your needs.. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CKVOOY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
It also will hold the tablet regardless of what case you use to house it..
As you can see I have the heavy duty Beetle case and it fits perfectly....
Stand opened and ready for use.
Tablet resting on the stand with front and back views.
On stand along with the Samsung Bluetooth keyboard...
If you want a stand that will fit in your bag or pocket for quick use this is the one you want.
i had problem with my glass screen protector for sony z5, after a week the glass has moved a little bit and now it doesn't sit well, anyone had this problem?
any recommenced screen protector
Some people... It is not a problem with your Phone if your screen protector moved itself or because you didn't put it on properly. I am using a Mumbi 9H Real Glass Screen protector, I can only recommend it.
The proximity sensor still works ?
That's the only thing to take into consideration,
if all else still works - no problemo

I am using a generic Z5 front glass protector , from the looks of it , it has 2.5d curves, 9H hardness and proximity , front camera holes are there. The shop guy installed it kinda tilted so when i came home , i removed it with bare hands, wipe the screen with wipes several times to my liking and then remove 2 small fibers from the adhesive side of the glass protector with a hard piece of polymer very carefully and then re installed it correctly. Now its perfect.
Some days later I bought another glass protector (generic) of Xperia Z4 front and installed it at the back side of the Z5 completely covering the camera lens cover (which is made of plastic and prone to scratches ). As the front glass protector of the Z4/Z3+ has only the proximity hole cut out at the right of the glass protector , it almost covers the whole back side of my Xperia Z5. The only problem is that the area of the camera and flash are in kind of a low plane than that of the rest of the back glass. So there is always a gap of air bubble in the camera lens area. It doesnt cause any distortion or problem with taking pictures so far. As long as the sides are closed tightly i think the camera lens is safe. but if they fall loose and dusts get inside then i am screwed.
So far this is my story with my Xperia Z5 Dual E6683.
i use the glass protector from Premyo, the fitting is really good and nothing moved so far.
So this is cool, at least I think it is cool. Annoyed with all the film and tempored glass screen protectors out there with either terrible coverage or close but noticeably not full coverage I undertook to make my own solution. As a secondary goal, I wanted the front of my white Mate 9 to be black like the old Nexus phones as it looks far better. I tried several black tempored glass protectors but as mentioned before none fit edge to edge or even without missing the edge of the screen and covering the inside by a little bit. Also, all had an ugly rectangular cutout for the Huawei lettering which looked terrible in black on white phone but even white on white was tacky looking.
So I went looking around and came across a replacement glass piece for the Mate 9 and ordered a few. I was going to take to a local repair place and just have them swap out but none would do it since the glass and digitizer glue together. So I started thinking, why not just glue the replacement glass right on top of the existing glass? I opened one of the ones I received and put it in place and it looked and felt good so that was my new plan. I looked around and found this film/sticker OCA LCD adhesive and got a pack (didn't want to use real glue as my hope was I could remove without damage).
After I got the adhesive I tested it on a couple of the tempored glass protectors I had to get a feel for how it holds and works and to see if removable and all checked out. I decided to just use the film under top and bottom bezel portion of the screen since I couldn't find the OCA LCD adhesive that was cut for the Mate 9 and long story short (yes, too late) all good, looks and feels and works great! See pictures attached (note, I much prefer the feel of the matte protectors so pics show the new glass and a matte Skinomi screen protector - I will probably take it off but for now just tossed it on as that is what I am used to).

And for the record, do not try this at home. It will probably kill you and certainly break your phone. This story is for entertainment purposes only.
wouldnt that mean the edge of the replacement galss still have a bubble at the edge ? wouldnt that still cause a halo ? if i my understanding is correct you are placing a replcaement LCD Glass on the existing screen like a screen protector ,?
Actually, no - no halo and no edge problems like with many temp glass protectors. The only flaw is since I only used the adhesive tape at bezels on top and bottom there is a little side gap (imperceptible in use and look but dust could get in) so I have to get the adhesive along the thin sides but with care that can be done.
Sent from my Huawei Mate 9 using XDA Labs
I like it. Looks good as oem. But wont do it on mine lol. Thanks for sharing!
Which OCA LCD Adhesive did you get? (which size/phone kind/type you pick)
About to put a dent in my bank account for either the MHA-L29 4GB or MHA-AL00 6GB...
Every phone I've had - every screen scratches, so I just put a glass screen protector on it - annoying that they (OEMs) make the screens not flat so they aren't edge to edge, like wtf???

I'm planning to do this also, it seems safe because you can remove the sticker, isn't it? How can doing this break the phone???
