Hello,
Before buying my Samsung Galaxy S Plus I read on several sites that the hull will be metal (unlike the Galaxy S that has the plastic).
Out on my Galaxy S Plus hull is exactly the same as on a Galaxy S.
Note that I live in France.
Is what it is like for you?
thank you
(Sorry for my bad English)

This is minimoding, please stop doing this, use report button instead.
Thx
Btw. mine is plastic
Mine's plastic too (im in Holland, with Polish device) and I use a silver casemate. Works like a charm!
I thought I saw other types of battery covers online...so maybe you can buy a metallic cover on the web.

Collecting a list for Sony Z1 Compact screen protector & tempered glass list
So far got:
Moshi
Iloome
Mpero
thanks for the list, may i have the link pls as i can't find it anywhere online.
With a quick search I can see:
Case-Mate 2 Pack Screen Protector for Sony Xperia Z1 Compact for 9.99€
FoneM8® - Sony Xperia Z1 Compact Screen Protector (5 Pack) for £1.49
Expert Shield - THE Screen Protector for: Sony Xperia Z1 Compact *Lifetime Guarantee* for £6.95
And a couple of others, so manufacturers are getting there.
I personally would wait until major screen protector companies come into play.
Could anyone find one that includes the protector for the back of the phone?

Sure, here's this one, for instance:
Muvit Matte & Glossy Screen Protector for Sony Xperia Z1 Compact
But there's more on this site if you click on Return to Category "Sony Xperia Z1 Compact".
Thanks but that one and all the others I have come across are only pre-orders. Guess I'll just have to wait. Thanks anyway.

If I am correct that the Z1f (Japan Version) and the Z1 Compact is indeed the same screen size/ sensors/ camera & flash location. After few days of researching there are already few Tempered Glass out for Z1f in Japan.
I am liking the Crystal Armor and will soon place an order, will update once received.

You're right, sorry I missed that. Only one of the ones you can find on mobilefun.co.uk is available in 2-5 days, but that's not too good either.

Matte film, Roxfit - Qenuine for Z1C
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trk...int+Matt+Screen+Protectors&_sacat=0&_from=R40
Found this set by mumbi (3x front, 3x back) on Amazon (DE) - don't know if they ship worldwide though.
I have had my Z1 Compact for less than a week, been ultra careful and already it has a minor scratch on the back panel. This is ridiculous!
I wonder, do you lose the warranty for the front screen if you only remove the back ASF sheet?
But for now, I guess I'll have to fast-track buying some front+back protectors before this gets too bad!
Why is it so hard to find a clear back panel protector for this phone...?

I know,,
I am currently using some of those cheap 'pack of five' screen protectors and just cutting a front side protector down a bit for the back until I can get hold of one.. (ideally I am waiting for a tempered glass front which include a back side protector like they do for the Z1 (and which is easily for sale in eurpore - not japan)
to further protect it I use it in a Roxfit book case - which aint bad.. but to use the magnetic cradle i need to take it out of the case (not a lot of hassle)
I emailed Sony complaining about the back and how it's poorly designed but the response I got was totally non committal and saying they didn't sell back protectors.

Sony Z1 Compact case + screenprotector
Hi guys,
Been looking at the Z1 Compact for a week now as I'm pretty sure that's going to be my new phone as my contract expires in April, and I doubt the S5,Htc M8 or Sony Z2 will be very pocket friendly. If my HTC ONE X would be a fraction smaller, 4,5 or 4,6" it would be great for one handed use.
So I've been having a look around for tempered glass/sapphire screen protectors and cases for the Z1 Compact , and apart from the ones posted on this forum didn't find anything interesting so i've decided to actually reach out to companies(through mail, fb or twitter) and ask if they were going to make any for the Z1 compact.
Spigen: no reply
brandoworkshop: no reply
xgear : no reply
Otterbox: no plans for a Defender series at the moment (if people request it enough on their fb page they might speed it up).
iloome: nothing planned for the moment
Zagg: really funny situation with these guys. Bought a Zagg Invisible shield for my current HTC One X, and was so happy with it and the lifetime warranty that i recommended it to my ex and everybody I knew. Sent them a question on fb, waited for a day....no reply.
Then I receive a notification that a polish bloke from a company called 3MK Screen protectors replied on my post on Zagg's page, recommending their products (which btw look pretty nice).
Lo and behold, 2 hours later zagg reply as well saying they have a screen protector in the works and that they're going to pass my inquiry about an Arsenal Case for the Compact to their design team. I think if people show an interest on their fb page, we might get something out of it.
At this point I think that if enough interest is shown to Zagg and Otterbox they might come up with great solutions for cases.
I've put a request to "Rhino Shield" and they will look into it (If the demand is high they likely come out quicker). They are not bad according to review and price are reasonable compare to other product which has the similar specification. Pls put a request to their email/ FB/ Twitter if you like this on your Z1 Compact.

I've ordered this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IA1AVZA/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 if anyone else is looking for clear protectors for the back.

Had a look at their product, and looks promising, even though I was thinking about getting Tempered Glass (don't know why I have the feeling I'd manage to shatter it within the first month as I drop my phone face down from time to time, from about 60-70 cm height).
Asked on FB if they plan on making any for the Z1 compact and said it depends on demand, so if anybody is interested, let them know.
I tweeted Rhino Shield and got this response from them:
"we think we would, it might be ready in few weeks time"

Good news then!

PhantomSkinz has tested and released their full line of products for the new Samsung Galaxy S10 and Samsung Galaxy S10+ including their popular Ultra Clear self-healing screen and full body protection film. PhantomSkinz has been making screen protectors for mobile devices since 2008 and is one of the favorites mentioned by many users across our forums. As many of you may know, the new in-display Ultrasonic fingerprint sensor used by Samsung does not work with most tempered glass screen protectors so PhantomSkinz is a great solution in general, but especially so with these new devices. We recommend PhantomSkinz for the reasons listed below:
• In-stock and shipping now
• Orders ship out same business day if placed by 2pm MST
• Designed and Made in the USA
• Backed by customer friendly Lifetime Warranty which provides replacements for as low as $5 without having to ship back the used product.
• Extremely responsive US based customer support
• 2 screen protectors for $14.95 plus free US shipping on orders $24.95+ and free worldwide shipping on orders $69.95+
• 32 options for full body coverage including wood, carbon fiber, metallic colors, and snake skin in addition to their self-healing films.
• “XDAdevelopers” discount code will get you 15% off through March 8th
S10 Test video
Benefits of PhantomSkinz over tempered glass:
• Works perfectly with the in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor on the S10 and S10+. See the video of the testing they performed below.
• Edge to Edge coverage with no air gap, or the option for a “case-friendly“ version
• Protector won’t crack/shatter unlike tempered glass which can be damaged from the slightest impact to the edge.
• Self-healing polymer is virtually scratchproof which means no micro-scratches.
• Very easy to clean and no oleophobic coating which are known to wear off relatively quickly with normal use.
• Adds grip when holding the phone, but is still very smooth when swiping or using gestures.
PhantomSkinz also claims that their products are superior to other film type screen protectors for a variety of reasons including:
• Proprietary topcoat offers superior resistance to scuffs, yellowing, and discoloration that many other film protectors suffer from
• Their unique topcoat also provides incredibly effective self-healing properties which virtually eliminate annoying micro-scratches
• Advanced adhesive formulation provides a strong bond to your device while resisting permanent impressions from fingernails, styluses, and everyday objects such as keys in your pocket. The products can also be removed without leaving adhesive residue behind.
• Ultimate in smoothness and clarity for this product category
• Product design is the best in the industry combining ease of installation with complete protection.
PhantomSkinz can be purchased for your Samsung Galaxy S10 or S10+ directly through their website:
For S10 For S10+
:highfive:
Thank you PhantomSkinz for sponsoring this thread.
Does this have the Orange peel effect?
So I ordered the Galaxy S10 Plus Case Ultra Hybrid from Spigen. Any idea if this will work with that case?

There is some very slight orange peel texture with our Ultra Clear film which you can really only notice if the screen is off and if you are looking for it. I would say much less texture than some other brands and nothing like the texture these types of screen protectors had 5+ years ago. If you watch the test video linked in the original post, you can see us do some closeups on the screen and the texture doesn't even show up on camera.

We have a case-friendly version available on our website as well. Basically, if the case covers over the edge of the glass, or flexes over the edge with normal use (such as pressing the side buttons or near the charge port), you should go for the case-friendly version of our screen protector.
If you don't have the case or phone yet, I would choose case-friendly by default just to be safe. Even the case-friendly version covers the vast majority of the glass including the curved edges. I took a look at your specific case and I would definitely get the case-friendly version.

Excellent! I've gone ahead and ordered 2 sets. Looking forward to putting those on, and maybe throwing up a review of my own on application, fit and feel. Thank you.

Great. We would definitely appreciate a review. If you have any questions about the products, let us know. And if you need a quick answer, we suggest the live chat on our website which is available from 8am-4pm weekdays
post approved by svetius
Since you're offering a coupon and a few things that I've been looking for (FULL edge to edge protection for us non-case people and no camera cut out), I think I'll give it a try! Thanks!
I'll post back with some thoughts after I've gotten it and used it.
Will you have any distributors in the UK? The shipping is more expensive than the screen protector itself
I'd like a case-friendly version

Unfortunately we do not have any retail locations in the UK at this time. Yes international shipping is quite expensive (we actually charge less than we pay) but we do offer free international shipping on orders $69.95 or more. It's a relatively high threshold but if you have multiple devices you want to protector or a couple friends/family members who are interested it certainly helps to reduce the cost per skin.
Thanks for replying Definitely don't want to spend that kind of money unfortunately as all the devices are covered anyway.
Working for a technology company myself - I would suggest shipping a batch of these into "Fulfilled by Amazon" in some of the other popular regions around the globe then Amazon can handle the shipping and logistics for you and it works out cheaper for customers. Spigen do the same - my case from them came today from Amazon and I only ordered it yesterday

Yes it is definitely something we have considered and we did sell some skinz on Amazon back in the days of the Palm Pre (hopefully we aren't dating ourselves too much there). However our product isn't quite as simple as a case since we currently offer 34 back options and 2 screen options for a total of 68 skus per device, per fulfillment center if we were to offer our full product line. So we appreciate the feedback and it is something we are still considering in order to provide the best experience for our customers.

Yes unfortunately international shipping is quite expensive and there's not much we can do about that. We actually charge less for shipping than we pay since we add insurance to international shipments as well. The only suggestion we can provide would be to order a couple skins together (maybe with friends and family) in order to reach the free worldwide shipping threshold of $69.95.

I just applied both the screen protector (case friendly) and full body skin yesterday (Cherry wood.) I am loving both. I have a Spigen Liquid Air case (opaque, so I may have to fix that.) I have admittedly put my case on and off several times in the last 2 days, just because. No peeling from the rear skin. The protector has a faintly rubbery feel, but is clear, slick and smooth. It also attracts fingerprints, but then again, no afraid to wipe it down because protected. Works well with the case and I don't feel the edge of the protector. This was something i was worried about. The front facing camera works clearly and normally through the film. Fingerprint sensor works perfectly. I don't regret getting this at all, and this is from someone who avoided screen protectors for years.
I did install it myself, and thought I did a 98% good job. I was happy with it, but the manufacturer is conveniently a few miles down the road. I had them reapply it, again just because and I am a stickler for detail. They did a fantastic job, and it is now 100%. I would advise to do that if you happen to live in Phoenix.
As a Z Flip owner i try to be carefull with my screen but it already have micro scatches.
Now i saw a video with some one in the US having an official applied screen protector from samsung.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRuB55Oo4ic&t
I contacted customer service here in the netherlands and they gave me some stupid answer..."There are no screen protectors for the Z flip, because the Z flip have already an protection layer"
So i wonder how is the rest of Europe deal with this and why don't we have it here yet and is it even planned to release here?
hello,
I have a screen protector but I bought it on Taobao for 8 EURO. Looks same as the one i saw in the video. I am in China and my Z Flip is from Korea.
regards
Samsung Hong Kong offers free first time screen protector for Z Flip, after that will be around 15Euros to replace
i used to put a screen protector on my flip...
the quality of zflip screen protectors on the market is bad since only some small manufacturers will make it(because installing a screen protector isn't "allowed" by Samsung")... So I recommend not using one, and if you installed a screen protector there is a chance to damage the screen layer when peeling it off.
I'm in the UK and just made use of the free official Samsung screen protector service. I just went to a Samsung Service Centre in London and left the phone with them for an hour. They applied the proper Samsung one for me, at no cost. Apparently they use some UV technique to apply it but whatever they did it was excellent. You can barely tell there is even one on there, the only clue is the cut out around the camera.
You can only get it done for free once but if you need it re-done it's only like £20.
