Meh. Not particularly impressed with their cases. Looks to be generic chinese cases with their branding.

I love the casing of this brand! why not?
To give a fairer comment as a user, their ultra slim make of cases is really superb. I am using the Parfiti airshield clear transparent case myself, it looks almost naked, but with the vulnerable corners and edges well shielded. Those keen on thin and good looking cases would love it, won't they?
Thanks Amanda for the sharing btw.

$22 for those?

I'm thinking of "Ordures" right now. It's french.
But in all seriousness, there isn't a single unique thing about these cases.

Screen protector - oil resistant and no scratch due to stylus usage - which one?

I have read through tons of the threads regarding the screen protector for the Note 8.0, and I haven't found one yet that meets what I want:
1). Oil resistant: the naked screen is REALLY good is resisting oil from my hands.
2). Won't scratch due to stylus use: I bought the Note for the Stylus and I use it extensively. Some screen protector I read got scratched with the stylus.
So if you have a screen protector, can you tell me your experiences?
This is what I learnt so far:
No plan to make one for Note 8.0
SGP Steinhell
XGear
Have bad oil resistant capability
iSmooth: more oil accumulate on the screen?
No review found

I did and loved to get one, but I am somewhat wary on using AliExpress, after seeing tons of issues customer having with them (Google it). I may get lucky and had no problem, but I had similar experiences with online retailer and won't go through it again.
But thanks for the links. Now back to our regularly scheduled channel..

I just emailed the seller about Oleophobic coating. Waiting..

Fyi,I just bought the Green Onion knee, since it claim it had the olephobic coating.
It's only $8, so I have it a shot. Will report back soon.

Know what you mean. I shy away from buying directly from China whenever possible mainly due to the incredibly slow delivery times. I took a chance on this and while I've not gotten it yet the communication from the seller has been pretty good! I inquired why the tracking wasn't showing and he investigated and replied twice in 24 hours. (Granted I "did mention" I was awaiting the item for an XDA review....)
Using a credit card usually protects one but the long delivery wait can be extremely annoying.

I had never ordered from them before and as it says in my thread, I was slightly concerned, but it came quicker than stated and is a really good product, no problems with the seller or the protector at all.

I have the TechArmor anti-fingerprint anti glare protector and it's great! Doesn't pick up oils, stylus works (and I like that it has a very slight texture to it giving a little feedback) and the anti-glare world's great! I have never been unhappy with Tech Armor... used it on 5 or 6 devices now. ..

Not sure if you ever got your answer from them but it does list Oleo phobic coating in the item description
Tempered Glass provides your device with the best surface protection without sacrificing the responsiveness of touchscreen. Despite its slim 0.4 mm glass base thickness, this transparent tempered glass is nearly impossible to scratch or penetrate thanks to its rating of 8-9H hardness, while its oleophobic coating offers resistance against smudges and fingerprints.

I bought from Amazon just 2 days ago for $8. But now I went back and it's $19.99?!
When I bought it, it was sold by Amazon, not some 3rd party seller.

You must have got very lucky then. I checked the same day you made the post and it was listed at $18 and change. I'll be keeping an eye out for it though. The skinomi I have is pretty terrible and needs to be replaced.

I think it was a price mistake from Amazon. I also thought it was a fake one sold by a reseller, so I checked the "My Order" page in Amazon and it shows $8 and "Sold by Amazon".
I'll update when I received the item today.

I got the Green Onion Oleophobic screen today (the $8 one) and I can tell you it is a GREAT screen protector.
It's quite easy to install and it comes with a LARGE dust cleaner screen to help with the installation. Aligning this big screen protector is a b*tch though. I still got a small bubble on the right side, but it's not evident since my Note 8.0 is white.
The screen protector feel very solid and smooth. It has the coating, as you can feel it when you run your finger on it. I like it more because writing with my stylus feel better and not too smooth, just enough for me.
I highly recommend this, though you may want to wait for the price to come down to $8.
UPDATE: This thing is a dust magnet!

Just stumbled upon this on eBay from a US Seller. Quite probably would have sprung for this instead of playing the waiting game to receive virtually the same product from mainland China. It's also listed about 8 bucks cheaper.
A real viable alternative IMHO.

Anyone noticed that the Note 8 comes with a preinstalled screen protector?!
I just noticed when I was peeling off all the tiny protection plastics like on the home button and camera lens that there was also something on the screen just to find out it was a screen protector
Nice!

Previously in this thread...
So has anyone used on of these TechPro protectors yet? I'm about to pull the trigger, but I'd like to see if anyone has any experience with them first.

I just put one on mine today. I like the way it fits almost edge to edge also come with Home button extension in several colors. I still get finger prints but I don't think it was as bad as before. Got mine from Amazon. No problems with the S-Pen and it's clear as glass I see no reason at this point to tell you not to pull the trigger.

Battery covers

Hey guys, I just purchased my Style and love it. Since I'm from Spain, we don't have Moto Maker and I wanted the wood back instead of the rubber. I looked on Aliexpress and found the original wood back:

And here's a link to the rubber backs with all the colours:

It shouldn't be very difficult to replace it.

That is pretty neat. I was wondering if this was available. Would you know how to remove and replace it?

There's a teardown video somewhere on YouTube. Looks like some heat and a little prying.

There is a few tear down videos now. And yes it involves heat and prying off the back which is glued on. Your old back will be wrecked in the process so you better like your new one. I am keen if I can get the right kind of wood back for the right price.

Hey guys, I am quite new posting here, but I have been reading the forum for years. I have been looking for the bamboo cover online, for like a week now. So far, I did not have much luck. It's pretty easy to find walnut and ebony on aliexpress and the like, but after asking the sellers for the bamboo one, they say it is not available at all.
The only one I found is on taobao, which as far as I know, only ships to China, the whole website is in chinese... so I am not very sure of what I am buying and if they may ship to Spain. Also the description is not very accurate at all
The link where I found it is:

Just got mine. It is definitely a fake cover. If you have the official one from Google you will see the difference in the felt. It isn't even felt on this particular case. Not unattractive per se but not as good as the official.

Moto Z Best Screen Protector?

I am seeing a lot of screen protectors coming out on amazon, that are from small companies, was wondering if anybody has ever tried them and which one is the best one? Should I go try some of them out or wait for Zagg to come out of one of their own for the Moto Z/Z force?

Never felt like paying the premium for Zagg stuff; I've been using Skinomi protectors on my last three phones (it's the same material as Zagg/GadgetGuard etc). Have the TechSkin on my Z Force and it fits PERFECTLY, right up to the edge. Tried the MatteSkin once, but found it de-contrasted my screen way too much.

how is the fit?

I wish I would have come across this thread before I bought the IQ Shield Tempered Glass protector. Clarity and feel are amazing but the edges don't seal!! It really grinds my gears.

Just bought a generic tempered glass (I highly doubt it is real tempered glass, maybe just some plastic). It is really cheap, not prone to fingerprints, and it makes the screen look great. Adhesion is nice, no abnormal lifts from the sides. Here are some pictures and the price tag.

I'm jealous, that seal looks perfect! I paid twice as much and mine is lifted on the left, right, and bottom edges.

Installed today... The front screen protector is of good quality and attach perfectly on screen even if it is a bit small in size in all directions in my opinion. Great transparency and print resistance too...
The back one is like old screen protections and it's impossible to fit it without a lot of bubble...
Too much for me so I removed... It's a pity since it had a good print resistance too... that was really needed.

Anyone found a screen protector that covers the entire front?

I didn't get it on exactly perfect but if I did then I think it would have been pretty close to full coverage. I'm considering pull it off and replacing it. Also, I bought a full body protector so that I could put something on the back to protect from scratches and some finger prints. When I pulled it out and looked at it before applying it to the phone then I noticed there was no hole for the gold connection pins to pass through. I was very disappointed. Here is a link to the full body protector.
