Just a heads up to everyone here.
http://www.htcimagioaccessories.com
Ordered a case and a screen protector from there a few days ago, and had my products within a few days. Quick shipping, but then again, they were shipping from about 30 miles from me.
Quality is what you would expect from a site like this, the products are cheap and come out of China, so about what you would expect buying a case from a Mall kiosk.
I purchased this case : http://www.htcimagioaccessories.com/htc-imagio-cases-7704.html and fit and finish are actually quite nice. Biggest complaint, they try and add a "swivel belt clip", AKA, cheesy, waste of time clip. But that is not the issue I have with the case. In order to facilitate this clip (which never made it out of the packaging before it hit the trash can) they put a nub on the back of the case, so the case does not sit flat when laid on a flat surface.
But that is about my only complaint
I also purchase a screen protector http://www.htcimagioaccessories.com/scprandsk.html from them. This lasted through about 5 minutes of trying to put it on the phone correctly, before throwing it in the trash. It doesnt go on like the Invisible Shield protectors.
So, all in all, quick shipping, good communication, but you get what you pay for.
Happy Shopping
i just recently got the phone and for screen protector i have been looking a the clarivue anti-glare matte screen protector. have any of you guys used that screen protector? how is it? does it affect the touch capabilities in anyway?
also what are some good soft and firm gel cases. i don't really like plastic cases.
thanks
I don't have any screen protector since 4 moths, and the screen is like the day I have bought it.
dude i got the genuine htc screen protector and it works great, u can barely notice it's there and the touchscreen works just as before. u can get it for about 3 quid on ebay. as for the case... htc puts so much effort into making ur phone so slim and you shove a thick plastic case on it. if you wanna keep ur phone scratch free... be careful with it
To kill two birds with one stone. Get this kiddie.....

Comes with a screen protector, and is a well made rubber case, with hard plastic clip-on outer shell. Very very pleased with mine! Don't mind the bulky look it gives it. Its well made too so doesn't cheapen the look of the phone like the hong kong ebay tat does.
If you want next day delivery, mobilefun also sell this case, but its £10 more with them for some reason.

A mobile insurance is the most useless insurance you can get. It's useless on thefts because the phone gets stolen in most cases when it's unattended so the insurance does not jump in. If you have lost your phone, you anyway won't get any money back. Also it does not help you with physical damage due to "normal usage", including scratches. And in the case you are covered, you may pay a few $$ anyway (deductible).
At least that's the case for every mobile insurance here in my country. But I doubt it's much different in others.

mine too
i was looking for a screen protector but searching infos on internet i find this site: http://www.scratchdesire.de/
That's bull. I dropped my desire and cracked the screen. Without insurance I would of had to pay £400 for a new phone.
Mine covers loss as long as I was not negligent. Which I'm not.
i have this one:

I know this MSRP's for more than $20, but i have seen them on Ebay got for $20-25. It is a glass screen protector.
I have one and think they are amazing. I have dropped my phone onto it's face in gravel from ear height and this protected my factory glass. In my opinion, id rather break one of these then the factory glass because it is a paint in the butt to replace the factory glass.

iloome flex for s4. About $16 - a little over your budget but worth it.

I agree - I have the iLoome and after I put one on mine, my daughter insisted on one. It also went on easier and more bubble-free than any film protector I've ever dealt with.

How is it? I am thinking of picking up one of these?
How is the install? I always mess up my screen guards..
I got this one on my screen http://www.eforchina.com/v/159029
For the price, I wasn't expecting much but it works flawless Got it on my screen 2 months now and it doesn't distort the screen and looks cool on it
I got this for 99 cents shipped on ebay. Wasn't expecting much but I was surprisingly happy with the fitment and quality.

go for a tempered glass on ebay for $10
I got a skinomi from amazon. I think it was like 7 bucks. Lifetime warranty supposedly. I like it, it doesn't have the drag my old zagg's used to have when I move my finger around. It is a wet application, but it works, so I don't really have any complaints.

I made a mistake of purchasing skinomi for my late iphone 4s. The supposed lifetime warranty is a load of baloney. Such a hassle to convince them that I needed replacement as the corners started to peel. And after days of dispute, I got my replacement but they wanted me to pay for shipping. $3 shipping on a $10 product. Never again. But your experience may differ.

Good to know about the warranty. That's partially why I said supposedly. I guess I haven't had it long enough to know the long term quality. For a short term cheap screen saver it seems to be pretty good.

Awesome, good luck. My first one did not apply well, it had some weird line-defect in it. Got a new one, and i love it. I've been using it about 5 weeks now, and I don't have any scratches or marks on it. A plastic screen protector would be scratched up in a few days.
I keep my phone in my jacket pocket, or back pants pocket.
I've been really happy with it.
Got a zagg only because its the only one Best Buy offered when i got my phone. Will definitely be getting the spigen tempered glass one next payday. I hate the feeling of screen protectors (especially zagg, feels like an orange peel). Glass is the only way to go. IMO its an expensive phone, no need to be a cheap charlie when it comes to protecting the screen. Just my .02 cents. 30 bucks for a tempered glass one that will fit properly isnt much.

Agreed. I have plastic on my tablet. just flipping and closing the smart cover is enough to cause huge scratches on it.
I love the iSmooth ones, i bought them from amazon

sorry for the late response. install was a breeze. I did however manage to get some dirt on the adhesive side of the glass right before I was about to place it on and freaked out for a bit after realizing the back side is pretty sticky and you cant simply wipe dirt off of it. Thankfully I had some sticky notes nearby and used the sticky side of the note and padded the adhesive side of the glass and it grabbed all the dirt right off

I didn't have this one but It went great.
What I did was do it after a hot shower (steamy), cleaned the screen with the included cloth and used the included stick repeatly to remove all dust.
when I see no dust on there, I quickly pealed off the red tab and aligned it before applying pressure and sticking it in place.
you can get a tempered glass S4 screen protector for $7 on ebay.. select US ONLY
Last year, I pre-odered the Spigen Glass screen protector about a month before the Note 3 came out. Thanks to Spigen's AWEFUL customer service and absolutely no support what soever, i got my glass tr about a month and a half after I got the note3. Spigen have great products but there is no way i'm dealing with them again because of their lack of respect for paying customers.
About 2 months ago i had to replace my Note 3 and thus lost my glass protector and i bought a protector from a seller on ebay that offered me a very high quality product, which was to my knowledge as good as spigens products and 5 times less expensive. Now, that seller has ready for shipping the protector for the S5, so if like me, you've already pre-ordered it and want to have the protector ready for application on april 11th, then you can go buy it now for a ridiculous $7.60 with free shipping.
Great deal for a glass protector

I have had better luck with SPIGEN - in fact I ordered the New Nano Glass Screen Protector in anticipation of getting the S5 (I Preordered on teh 24th) and the Spigen glass screen protector has already shipped (according to UPS) what is amazing to me is that they have the Screen protectors ready to ship even before the phones have hit the streets.
I admit - it seems too good to be true - so I will be very interested to check the box when it arrives to make sure it is the right screen protector - it seems like Spigen has it figured out pretty well this time....I will report back when I get the shipment later this week.

Keep us up to date on how it performs with the S5: smoothness of touch, premium feeling, ease of installation and last but not least does fingerprint scanner still work.

Ya, mine was also "shipped" but in fact only the tracking number was generated, it was never actually shipped. Until you actually see the first checkpoint that say it has been accepted at the shipping facility, i wouldnt cont on it. Maybe they learned from their mistake, but ignoring all my emails and support tickets will make me not be their client, ever again, at least not with them directly, possibly with a reseller like amazon.
In any case, i got my screen protector, and it's legit, it nice, smooth and look almost identical to spigen's. Also, this guy didnt make me pay an extra 5$ for rounded corners. I'm happy with my purchase, and it just proves that paying 40$ for a piece of glass isnt worth it when a chinese version makes me as happy

well - here is what I see when I click on the tracking number they sent me:
Package Status:In Transit
Fontana, CA, United States 04/01/2014 3:50 A.M. Package transferred to destination UPS Mail Innovations facility
So - It is definately in transit - I sure wish the S5 was - lol
(I have purchsed the chinese versions that are cheaper and I can say first hand that you get what you pay for) but at the end of the day, if the inexpensive screen protector works for you - that's great - I have had good luck with Spigen and that works for me -better than the others do - and it is in shipment - should be here in a few days
I had spigen glass tr on all my previous phones, and i can tell you you picked the wrong chinese seller. I dont see any difference except the price

I am loving this tempered glass. Couldnt see paying 35+ for the spigen ones, so i went with this one for 16 bucks, free shipping with prime. Check out my review http://goo.gl/PgNdcZ
Get one for yourselves! Definitely an amazing, quality product.
Alright just thought id share this with you guys. Take it easy!

Have to agree. $15.99 on Amazon and a great product. Looks like its a $40 one with the packaging and quality.
Bought mine for 6$ on ebay. I was warned not to buy those because there may be quality, clearness, responsiveness issues. I can tell you that those people couldn't be more wrong. My 6$ glass screen protector cannot be more identical to a spigen glass tr, which i decided to boycott that company after their horrible customer service last year with the note 3. My 6$ screen protector is as clear, as fingerprint repellant, as easy to clean and has no scratches after 3 months. This opened my eyes on how we quickly throw our money at big companies because "we think" their products are of higher caliber. Couldn't be more wrong. BTW, here is the link to the item for anybody interested http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Samsung-Gala...ll_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item58af32c337&_uhb=1
It came in a box similar to the one shown in the video, it came with an alcohol pad and microfiber for cleaning. the only thing it didnt come with is the premium price tag. It's free shipping no matter if you have prime or not
Got mine for about $7 off eBay 6 weeks ago and so far matches up to any expensive branded protector, and that's why I don't automatically assume more expensive protectors are better just because I hear good reviews from people who have never tried the cheap stuff.
I always get a Nillkin when possible. Best tempered glass I've ever used and they are priced very reasonable.
