Finally glass back protector

http://theglass-m.com/
Ordered from here and received yesterday. Shipping was very fast and has a cut out for proximity sensor and back camera. Apparently its gorilla glass and fits great. Has a nice anti finger print coating. I have been searching for a glass back protector and finally found one. I can post pics if people want but the price is great and fit is also good.

Is it just me or that website look dodgy to say the least...

How much it's thickness?
if you put the glass on both side, is it can fit the docking ?

Yep thought the same thing, but since it had paypal I said I'm covered so what the hell. To my surprise it was delivered in three days lol.
As for the docking station I have not has any issues with mine but it is the ten dollar one off ebay. It doesnt say the thickness but my uess would be 4mm

You could put it over the asf, I did it with another brand glass protector. Just makes sure it clean and dust free. These one came with a big sticker to remove any dust.

Can you please put a Picture of the Phone in a way we can see how much the glass is in thickness compared to the Phone looking Just at the sides?

How abt scratches and fingerprints ?
I found this http://www.evolutivelabs.com/
Seems a bit better, also funded from kickstarter so kinda trustable.

I have had rhino shield on my nexus 4 and nexus 7 also for my xperia z. The first generation where not very good. They scratched easily and also got dented easily. On my nexus they didn't cover much of the screen and on my xperia the one they sent had issue with the back protector. I have ordered the second generation since they were giving the people who backed them on kick starter free second gen ones. I have not received them yet so cannot comment on them as of now.
These have been very good so far they are apparently made of gorilla glass so they are scratch resistant and have anti finger print coating. The best I have used so far. These are 9H and rihino shields are I beleive 5H.

Thank you, they seem quite thin from the pictures. While we can notice it's there, it's actualy quite OK in therms of thickness.
It's a case that the pros outweight the cons by a large margin.

Ordered now.
Let see how it perform compared to my old SGP one.

Yes, both side.
I also have a charging dock so let see if it still fit or not with both side of glass protector.

Do you have the sony dock or the knock one. I had to take out the spring loaded tabs to get mine to work properly it would charge but a slight knock on my night stand would sometimes stop it from charging.

Remove colour film from back glass cover

Hey guys.
I stumbled upon this today and thought it look great
http://phandroid.com/2015/10/15/how-to-diy-custom-clear-back-cover-samsung-galaxy-s6-note-5/
Just wondered if anyone has done this with their S6?
and if so how did you go about re-attaching the glass after?

Does the color of the Honor 8 fades up?

Honor 8 Sapphire Blue is awesome to see. But since it is bright, I would like to know from then previous users of Honor 8 that will the color fade ?
Will the glassy look disappear after some months ?
How is the quality of materials used in it ?

Hi, I am using the Sapphire Blue version for more than a month without using any phone case and screen protector. I did not notice any color fading as the color is beneath the glass surface. The color at the side of the phone is nice to look and nice to hold too, and it did not seem to fade as well.

Thanks for the update. Hope so it will glow as it is for the upcoming months.

Since its a glass backed phone (like s6 and s7) I don't think color will fade,my friend have 1,5 year s6 in white and color didnt fade

White and Black is Ok. Even it fades, we can't find it easily.
This one is blue that's why I'm asking.

I don't think so, since the colour source is under the glass

From our experience, we haven't heard of any color fading on the device. We highly recommend purchasing one of our third-party cases to protect the device from accident damage or color fading. We appreciate the concerns and will forward your information to our product development team. (NS)

What about scrathes? Glass on both front and back mest mean more scrathes? Or?

If you get it all scratched up I suppose the color won't come through as well anymore?
For general use I don't think it will fade as others have said.

What's the point of getting a beatiful device and put a case on it just to prevent scratch? I wish back glass was more durable

Definitely mate, better glass, instead of better covers I hot a flipcase in leather for mine but I rarely use it cause it hides my beautiful phone:laugh:
My H7 that is:laugh:

Yeah I definitely agree.
I don't get why they market the beautiful design and then also suggest putting a case on it. I guess the clear case is a good middle ground.
It's probably all about the numbers. Will they make more money if the device was more scratch resistant? I suspect it takes more research and engineering and possibly materials to achieve that. Maybe the device would have to be more expensive to cover this extra cost and fewer people would buy it?
And if it scratches easily they can sell more cases too.
Looks like a typical business decision to me.

I do agree with you, using higher-end material would make the device cost more

The main reason for buying this phone is to show off the people around us the excellent colors in the mobile. If use the case then I could for other mobile with normal plastic and get a great case to show it off..

It's beautiful, however, if they added ff speakers like nexus 6p it would be perfect.
As far as design, nothing matches nextbit Robin

Self Healing Body Frame?

Well, I bought my U11 since almost 2-3 months. I like its feeling so I didn't use the provided back cover, neither bought any cover. This needed me to take extra care to not make it fall.
However, it fell eventually, but not from a high distance, though, the body frame got a noticeable scratch on the SIM card holder part, and due to the scratch, the affected part color became white (the phone is red). Today, I looked at the phone and it has no scratch! No white color, it is all red again!
So, actually, I'm not believing myself. Does this phone frame self heals itself? I'm sure I wasn't dreaming!

I think you were either dreaming or mistaken. The frame is not self healing technology.

Transparent/Cear back Mod. Has anyone tried it... wondering

This vid shows how easy and simple it seems to take apart and peel the back cover although it's on another language. Just wondering has anyone done it already. Looks kind of cool

watch the jerry rig everything teardown. he does the same to his device. you will probably lose any water resistance though since you are tearing up the adhesive strip that holds the back panel on.

Get a case with a clear back, and have a custom skin made with the insides.
Put the skin on the back of the phone and the case on top.

They'll sell it on witrigs soon enough for like $45US

That would kinda work although it's too easy and fake.

I probably will if I break my back plate, because at that point, why not? I did it to my Samsung S8+, and loved it.
I won't be removing the back of the phone just to do it though. I prefer water resistance.

I just ordered one of these for my 7 Pro and S10+.
I'll post pictures once I receive them (could take awhile based on Slick Wraps history)
