Using a case or going naked?
So I was wondering if anyone else prefers to use their Honor 8 without a case. I usually have at least a case if not a screen protector as well, on my primary device. I really like the feel of the Honor 8 without a case so I've been using it like that. What about you: case, screen protector, both or none?
I just got my Honor 8 on Monday evening, so I haven't received the case and screen protector that I ordered yesterday. However, I found an Honor 8 TPU case at Best Buy that I picked up until the better one arrives.
I would prefer not to have to use a case, but with a glass phone I'm always leery about dropping and cracking it. With a lot of my older phones, I wasn't nearly as concerned. If you drop a plastic or metal phone, you probably won't shatter the entire thing.
I wish LifeProof would make a case for the Honor 8. Then I could at least have a fairly heavy duty case but still be able to see (most) of the beauty of the phone.
use a clear case for protection, its slippery and you dont want to drop it and smash the glass
If you can afford buying another one don't use anything.....what i did when i got mine was applying the tempered glass and case before even opening the phone
Actually, I'm using both. Found a chinese TGSP in amazon and a orzly clear case. If it weren't for those my phone probably would be shattered after the last fews falls it has had :S
I go naked indoors and cover up outdoors. I do the same with the phone.
I put mine into a leather wallet type case.
I love the phone and how it looks but I thought I was gonna break it, it looks so breakable so for me and my life I had to give it full protection.
It might not look nice during daytime hours but at least i know it's still like new inside !

I don't like cases, makes the phone too thick. But I put on a skin, so now it is not slippery anymore.

Hahahaha :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Im using mine honor 8 in daily use with tempered glass on the front and in the back from Nillkin.
And, if i need use the phone in work I'm using armored case
Normally I do both but this AWESOME phone is only $300, so I don't really care to get a screen protector.
Buying a ferrari and covering it with ugly cloth.
I'm using it with full body clear film.
Guys this thing is beautiful.
Let it shine.
I have tempered glass on front and back.
Always a case.

I got a nillkin front too. If I am working at the office I left my case in the car. If I go outside often I use honor flip case, spigen or one from ipaky.
Btw how does the the tempered glass nillkin on the back look?

Ther's no different between when the back its covered by the glass but it's more safety from the scratches because back cover is full covered by the glass
Using the official flip case here. Works great.
Matte screen protectors on both sides = much less slippery.
Transparant silicon case to make it less slippery
I use the View Cover, but just until I get curved tempered glass for front and back in the mail - I hate using a case, but with that slippery back I can't trust it not to slip of sandpaper on a level table.
I don`t use screen protector but I use the blue pc case on blue honor 8 it is very thin (It almost protects nothing but at least it covers the glass back) phone still looks shinny.
Hey guys, can anyone recommend a tempered glass screen protector for Huawei p20 pro? Normally look to eBay but been abit hit and miss. Any recommendations on a good case would be great too! Thanks!

Spigen tempered glass is the best I've found so far
Yes I agree spigen glass is top!
I'm so disappointed by hardness of screen P20 pro. I'm sure is not an a gorilla glass.... In one month I had many claw on it.... Without glass.

Did you have any issues with the spigen? For me the sides aren't adhering properly.
With your scratches on the glass, the p20 pro does have gorilla glass and all gorilla glass phones out there can get scratches especially with bits of sand and random stuff in your pocket.

I have any problem with spigen glass all seem very good. But for your search on you I have already see the solution.
And for the scratch on screen I use them like my old S8 and my S8 had no scratch or small not the same as my P20 pro. i really like my P20 pro except for this point!

This is by far the best glass for p20 pro.
Perfect fit, great quality and rounded edges.
Just search 5d p20 pro on AliExpress, and look for this type, you won't find this good stuff in Europe or US
Spigen rugged armor + spigen glass AND YOU ARE SAFE. :laugh:
Zagg InvisibleShield by far.

I've been using the Nilliken glass screen protector. Tried the other crap that doesn't adhere to the edges. The Nilliken is only 0.2 mm thick which probably helps adhering near the edges.
Used it on my P10+ and my wife's iPhone SE and great oleophobic feature which is part of the Japanese glass and not just a coating.
Installed it on my P20 off centre and it still adheres to the edges. Worth the $25.
Nillkin is smaller than the screen. Actualy a lot smaller than the actual screen. Aestheticaly is crap. Functionaly is just like all other protectors.

I bought one from Spigen, dont know that firm but im very happy. they also have a great concept on how to get the glass on the phone much easier by having sort of "handles" on the protective plastic on the glass. Plus i bought the case too, perfect fit, very robust, and works like a charm with the tempered glass

I disagree.... Not a lot smaller than the screen... Goes right up to curved edge. Wife has one on her iPhone for 2 yrs and oleophobic feature is still great.
Aestheticaly is better than most crap. Doubt if you have really tried one.
I have tried two on my p20 pro and one on my oneplus 3. Both with the same problem. They were marginally fitting on the actual screen. (i don't mean the black border of the screen. Not even close. I mean the actual screen) in general I'm a very protective user for all of my phones and even when I change for a new model, the last one is in perfect factory condition. After several amoled models that I've owned, (Samsung, huawei and oneplus) due to the curved edges of those screens, I have come to a conclusion.... I never use a tempered glass anymore. In worst case I've used iq shield wet membrane and never had any problems. In fact let's remember what everyone was doing when tempered glass wasn't around and we only had gorilla glass. I believe it's an artificialy created need, and after all these years I even dought even the idea behind the application of tempered glass. When a phone drops, if the forces are applied in that way and strength that a screen would crack it would crack. No extra glass will save you. Actually the way these glasses are applied on the screen can't prevent that. As far as scratches concerned, if gorrila glass can save you, then it's the same for every temp glass. If the one can't, so it's the other. (the only benefit it's that the temp glass you can easily change it). gorilla glass is a well documented patent with thousands of applications in daily life. I dought the same for all those generic glasses out in the market. (as for the well established companies like nilkin or spiegen etc etc, as I told above I highly dought its effectiveness for the reason I explained above.)
Its only my personal opinion from personal experience with various models from Samsung, oneplus and huawei. And for the last 10 years it served me very well.

First... I installed the Nillkin on my P20, not the Pro. It fits perfect and covers the black edges like it did on my P10+ and the SE. Can't speak for the Pro, but I doubt that Nillkin would design that one smaller!!
Second... US Corning makes Gorilla glass and Japan AGC makes Dragontrail, both great screen glasses. On both the oleophobic feature is part of the vapour deposition hardening process. Don't know what Huawei uses on the P20 series. I do know that my P20 screen is more scratch resistance and has a better oleophobic feature than my previous P10+.
Third... Nillkin uses AGC glass for their screen protectors. And I believe, the only one that is 0.2 thin. And I can speak for the oleophobic feature that doesn't wear off in a couple of months like the cheaper crap that uses a coating.
You obviously don't like or believe in glass screen protectors, that's OK, but please don't lump them all together. Most glass screen protectors are installed for scratch protection and some are way better than others.
Anybody know of one for the pro that goes all the way to the edges and uses the strip of adhesive to stay on? I had one on my V30 and used the loca glue for a perfect application from curved edge to curved edge

When I was surfing through You TUBE for P20 glass screen protectors, I did see one for the Pro that covered the curved edges, but instead of a thin strip of edge adhesive, it had the silicone covering the whole glass. I watched the typical spread when centre pressed.
I would've got that one for the P20, but couldn't find it again. Maybe someone knows where to find it.
Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone has tried the rhinoshield cases + screen / back protectors for the Note 9.
I have seen plenty of reviews praising both the solidsuit and crash guard, but not much about the frontal screen protector (the one they claim to be full adhesive). Any impressions on this one?

I have ordered a back protector. will give u more info once I get it
I also want to know about the lenses that can be attached to the solidsuit if anyone knows
I am using the Solid suit currently and its been almost 2 weeks and so far so good.
I had the Spigen tough armour earlier which was little bulky so thought of using this one
My colleague has been using the solid suit for his galaxy s9+ and he has dropped it preety much everywhere and he is preety happy with the performance
I have ordered the Rhinoshield Wide+Macro lens + adapter so still waiting for the delivery
Once they arrive will share the experience
For the tempered glass with adhesive i have been using the Spigen one and i am preety much satisfied with it. Moreover it costs little less than the rhinoshield
I totally disliked the front screen protector. It doesn't have black edges but dot matrix ans the common horrible rainbow effects in the middle of the screen.
I would love to try some screen protectors, but my only concern is that I won't able to wash my phone. Ever since I had galaxy S8 plus, I have been washing the phone regularly (3 times a week) with lukewarm water and once twice a month with hand soap. Owned Note 8 and S9 plus, continued the same tradition and the phones were in better condition when I sold them used.
Using a nice glass shield might make me happy, but I am not sure having additional layer of glass would make me any happier. As we know smartphone manufacturers try every year to reduce the thickness of glass as much possible because it makes the phone more beautiful.
I used liquid nano crystal on S8 plus and that was the stupidest mistake. Even though the protection worked, that killed Samsung's dust resistance coating making it a fingerprint magnet. Just few minutes after a clean wash phone would look very oily, dusty and old. In the end phone fell out of my pocket and accidentally closed the car door, smashing the phone. Phone was bent in the center, Samsung said they won't repair due to possible motherboard damage. Lesson learnt - If the phone is destined to shatter, you won't be able to protect it
I have been looking for this info but I get so many different answers that I still can't know for shour,. Does the p40 pro comes with gorilla glass 6 or not? Does anyone have a answer with a good source? If not I can't understand this move from huawei, is not like the p40 pro or pro plus are cheape so not even bother getting a top glass for the phone?
No Gorilla Glass - I believe they're using their own "AirGlass" or something like that.
Later iterations of Gorilla Glass have been too soft for my liking... I'm a scratcher and not a smasher, my P30 Pro looks pretty beat up despite Gorilla Glass being present. P40 Pro has held up well so far, few scratches, but nothing out of the ordinary. My Mate 10 Pro was my most scratch resistant screen to date (older GG)

If I not mistaken, the P30 Pro also don't have gorilla glass, that's why I'm asking about the P40 Pro. On their site, corning have a list of devices, the last huawei is the mate 20 pro. Not sure of what kind of tempered glass Huawei uses but is not near as strong as gorilla glass 6

Hmmm, I've dropped my P30 Pro LITERALLY hundreds of times and yes its scratched up, but no cracks over a year on. No case either. My friends S10e cracked around the hole punch first drop... So can't say I agree but that's fair if that's your opinion.
Hello guys,
I'm looking for the best case and screen protector for my Realme X50 pro.
I have not found good cases. I've tried several screen protectors but always the same problems : size, bubbles...)
Thanks.
Hey.
I'm in the UK and because this isn't a very popular phone (most people haven't heard of it!) it's been very difficult getting a good case and screen protector. Here's what I have though.
Migimi Screen Protector for Realme X50 pro, [3-Pack] Tempered Glass Protective Film [Anti-Scratch] [Bubble Free] [Case Friendly] 9H HD Clear Glass Screen Protector for Realme X50 pro
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B087J9394D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The first one went on with no bubbles. It could maybe be a little longer, or maybe I could've put it on a bit lower, but size wise it's OK. Don't have the money right now but think I may end up getting the OnePlus Nord official screen protector and trying that as they both have a 6.44 inch screen.
I ordered about 5 different cases and this is the one that I stuck with and have been using for 2 months now
Slim Matte Leather Case for OPPO Reno 2 Z 2Z 4 Pro ACE 10X Case Realme X50 5 Pro X2 XT Q R9s R11 R11s Plus Car Holder Cover Case

The case is NOT leather, you can tell that from the pictures. The green stripe on the back is just a sticker which comes off easily and the case looks better without it. It doesn't overlap the screen so you cannot lay the phone face down. It does have a large metal plate in the back for using with magnetic car phone holders, which I do like.
Overall, it's a great phone but due to the issues with accessories outside of China/India I'll probably stick with a more well known brand in future.
