Invisible Shield - Streak 5 Accessories

Not sure if everyone is aware of this yet so I thought I'd share it with you all.
Invisible Shield from Zaggs is available for our Streaks. I've already placed my order and should be in sometime this week. I'll let you all know how it looks and maybe some pics.

I have one of these already. I like the fact it makes the Streak more grippy but was a but disappointed that there isn't protection for any of the corners or edges. I keep meaning to take pics... The pieces are a pretty good fit; much better than the first screen protector bought off ebay
I wasn't sure how it would make the screen feel but actually it's ok and is as responsive as ever.

Which kind of protection did you get? I'm concerned now cause corner protection is important.

Pics of Full Body Easy Install (Zagg Invisible Shield)
Hi all
Have managed (just about)to take some pics of the Invisible Shield. As mentioned above, this is the Full Body Easy Install shield from Zagg. I bought it from the US, although it shipped in the UK from Manchester.
Hopefully you can see where it's a little short in places (less than 1mm but still noticeable to me), especially on the back plate and the front end with the buttons.
It comes in 6 pieces- 3 front, 3 back; none of which cover the corners or edges of the Streak.
It was easy enough to install (though a bit messy. In my defence, it was first time ) and the major benefit, other than protecting the bits it covers is that it makes the whole device less slippery. Works fine on the screen and I haven't noticed any difference in sensitivity because of it.

Do you know if ship in italy?

Thanks for the pics and the write up

Looks like you need the Full Body MAXIMUM protection to get the corners.

Keep in mind these screen protectors make the screens very 'sticky'. aka hard to use.

I ordered the Maximum protection and just waiting on its arrival sometime tomorrow or early next week. I'll post pics if it helps. Should be a total body protection.
I agree with Samstables, it will make it sticky which should be an added bonus.
Although, I just received my FormFit case which will be going over the invisible shield.

I just installed the maximum protection kit and it went on very easy. does make the phone feel a little sticky ( but thats better then slipery).

for these invisible shield things, i usually get the full kit for the body for grip and protection and use one of those cheap ebay screen protectors for the screen. downside is, it costs slightly more. i wish they would sell just the body and not the screen.

i've applied invisibleSHIELD protectors to almost all my previous devices but i dont think i'm going to with this one, atleast not for the screen. I've grown sick of the stickyness aka "orange peel effect". Your fingers don't slide well on the device. It helps for the back of the device cuz you can put it on your dashboard and it won't slide off that easily.
I'm currently thinking of going with di noc carbon fiber or do what untrueparadox did. Only apply the back and another screen protector.

Has it covered your corners and edges? Is it a good fit? pics please

Question for you guys who have installed this (or plan to); if there is ever a need to remove the shield, are you guys worried that it may take some of the lettering off with it? I guess for the Streak, the only lettering would be the "5.0 megapixel autofocus" near the rear camera.

Part of the instructions provided is how to properly remove the skin should you need to. I've had to remove a skin only once and it came off without any cause for concern.

I ordered a Zagg shield (screen only) before I even got my Streak- at first it did feel a bit sticky to the touch, but now after it has been worn in a bit I've no issues. I do have minor imperfections in the screen protector, they can be a real pain to apply perfectly, but they are hardly noticeable and an acceptable price for the added peace of mind.

I went with bestskinsever too but not fitted it yet, will do today or the weekend, can post pics if need be....
Just bought the body one as the screen protector it comes with is great and a better job than me doing it.....
I have been fitting thease things for years and can do a very profesional job of it you cannot tell there is a skin on it when i finish with it i think mine will be finished today i hope but its looking good.
I strongly dislike the Zagg protective shields. The touch feel is horrible with them on. I rather get some scratches than use them. I had one a little while on another phone but ripped it of after a few hours.
Besides. There's already protection on it? I would like to get another one of those original ones instead. You can hardly see nor feel it.
Well i guess that's your opinion.

i got mine for resale purposes, not that im planning on selling it any time soon, but a mint condition, sim free, white xperia play r800i should go for more then a scratched black one
Hi vdciii.
I've had the invisishield installed on my phone. Since you're also from the Philippines, there is an official store that installs them with lifetime warranty (if it gets torn or damaged, 400 for "shipping"). So if the protector gets loose, they can also fix it for free, just do this before dirt gets in. I got it for only P1500.
The only thing I dislike about it is that there's a certain friction with your finger sometimes that annoys me, but it works. It also gets a bit finger print dirty but nothing a good wipe can't fix.

hello!
yeah, i find it a little bit annoying too. but for an exchange of full body protection, i think it's okay for me.
But what annoys me more is the thought that not all parts are protected. the white metal on the screen part is not protected which is different from what i have seen in the sites here. i thought of double checking the other ishield for xperia play when i have time.
How's your xplay now anyway? does it still have the ishield up to now?

My xp is still protected by invishield up to now. Other than the dirty screen, I think it's good enough naked. It's just hard to find silicone/crystal cases for this phone in this country.
I have used my Invisible Shield since i bought my Play in august. Still no scratches Just bought the Play Dock too

I'm very disappointed in Invisible Phone Guard. It appeared to include more coverage bits than any others on eBay and was described as being thinner than the others and compatible with "any" case. It seems as thick as any Zagg shield and includes NO corner protection/coverage. The right-side piece only surrounds the volume buttons and does not run the length on the side like that carbon fiber style one someone else has here. Though there are pieces to cover the trim above the screen and below the buttons, it has none to cover teh silver bits on the left and right of the screen. It also includes no protection for the L & R buttons. I think the Zagg Invisible Shield option with all the extra bits would have more coverage but they don't show it on the site.
Oh, did I mention that the microfiber cloth was full of lint? Also, even though I tried to align the screen protector with the top of the screen it is touching the bottom and seems to be causing my home button to stick down. It should have been a little shorter! Before reinstalling my Otterbox Commuter I noticed that the clips that go over the top and bottom were fractured and, sure enough, they cracked through and flaked off when probed with my fingers. When I snapped in on the phone, I saw new stress fractures appear.
I'm not happy with the Otterbox Commuter either, but that's for another thread.
I dont understadn, what's the difference between this and another normal screen protector?

First of all, what do you consider "normal?" Traditional Zagg Invisible Shield screen protectors have an adhesive and require wet application, while they now have a new line of "dry" protectors that are likely more like the alternative stiff film variety (dunno. haven't seen one). The original Invisible Shield is a very tough elastic designed for things like the edges of helicopter blades and it adds what has been described as an "rubbery orange peel" texture as opposed to the smooth texture of many others. It feels a bit sticky when perfectly clean. There are many others that use the exact same material, like the Invisible Phone Guard that I mentioned earlier. Zagg charges more than most alternatives and has different options, including screen, full-body, and another that has little bits to cover every part if you are dedicated enough to bother installing it.
Its great, I have had one on every smart phone that I have had, I have never gotten scratches on it either.

I have it on mine, I think it was a bit much i payed 38$ for mine just because i got the phone for free with upgread. Its the full shield and its not so bad. Makes ur phone super glossy. For the protection its worth it. And yrs the finger doesnot glide like it did but really not that bad this phone aint cheap rimember that. Zagg works
Sent from my R800x using Tapatalk
I have had the shield before and it covers well due to it being thicker then most covers, however the feel of it is very resistive. Which I do not like.
Also, I have had 2 friends who after many months of using the shield on their phones had issues with their touchscreens going out. If I recall over time the zaggshirld will damage your touchscreen digitzer. When I finally removed my zaggshield it was all yellow.
My opnion do not touch a zaggshield yeah they really protect your phone until the touchscreen takes a crap on you.

Nexus 7 with Skinomi

Dear All,
Did anyone purchase and install a Skinomi screen protector on their Nexus 7 yet? What is the general opinion on the Skinomi Techskin screen protector? Your comments are highly regarded as I'm thinking which wet screen protector to purchase for my Nexus 7.
Thanks.
I personally do not like Skinomi. they damage and bruise easily in my opinion. For the price you pay the quality degrades quick. Bruising occurs more frequently in wet screen protectors I buy.
My skinomi just arrived today and best buy installed it perfectly for free. I'm letting it sit for a day until I use it. I'll keep you updated.

Got pictures?
I installed the carbon-fiber one on my N7; first time installing a skin type cover and wet screen protector.
Getting everything lined up was a pain for the skin itself. Had to pull it up and recenter several times, and still didn't get it perfect as I had hoped.
You use a heat gun/hairdryer to "seal" it to the device, so it doesn't peel off after you've installed it.
I don't worry about sitting my N7 down on tables/chairs now, as there's no chance to accidentally scratch the back.
The screen protector went on without an issue, just take your time and keep your fingertips wet with solution. Watch their instructional youtube videos before trying.
The resilience/self healing of the screen protector seems poor. Scrape your fingernail into it, and the mark is there forever, but it's only noticeable when the screen is off.
The protector finger/slide feel is better than dry protectors I've used, but it's not like naked glass.
The viewing quality of the screen doesn't seem impaired at all by the protector. No weird off-angle reflection or rainbow effects, or texture while the screen is on.
IMO it works, but is overpriced for what you get.
Still waiting on my Skinomi Carbon with Protector...how long did it take for you? How is the 'gripiness' of the carbon? I like the stock rubbery feel and don't want to drop it.
Thanks
RF
my skinomi should arrive any day now. will post review n pic sometime this weekend i suppose.
and remember, code get25 will get u 25% off. $20 for both nexus and RAZR protector including shipping n tax? i dig it.
I let mine sit for about 30 hours and then took a look at it. The bottom right corner is BARELY too long and hangs over the edge a little bit. Everywhere else fits perfectly, so I know it's a problem with the protector. It goes to the edge everywhere else. I'll power it on in the morning. $12 with one day shipping with Amazon Prime and I think it's worth it. I put my TPU case on it and don't notice the corner. I'll let you know if it peels back.

Gripness is poor compared to the glorious naked back of the N7, which is the best I've felt on a tablet. Slippery even though it's textured. Disappointing, but seems protective against surface scratches.
Took probably 45 mins to install skin and screen protector.

The edges haven't peeled up anymore. Screen is clear and looks good. However, after using the Zagg on my Galaxy Nexus, the Skinomi on my nexus 7 is like using flypaper. I HATE the feel of it. I'm sure it'll improve over time, but it's not even close to the quality of my Zagg. If I had to choose again, I'd choose Zagg.

Installed Skimoni on my Nexus 7 2 weeks ago, love it, easy to install, screen was not responsive for a few hours after installation but now everything is ok.
I've been using a Skinomi for a couple weeks and I think it's good. I decided to go with just a screen protector rather than a case. Most of the cases I've seen make the N7 too thick in my opinion.
The screen protector went on easily enough. I did get a bit of dust under the screen protector near the right edge that I notice every time I look at my N7. I agree that the screen protector takes away from the great feel of the naked screen but since the screen isn't gorilla glass, I think it needs something to protect it.

Dear All,
I knew there would be N7 owners that installed Skinomi screen protectors I just had to ask...Now, we need pics to see your results. I ordered mine on July 28 and still haven't got it yet. I'm getting it shipped to Canada but it should of arrived by now. Keep the comments rolling in... :good:

just installed it last night. this morning it looks glorious.
First thoughts:
- less than 15 minutes to install. just make sure u follow the video instructions EXACTLY. when it asks u to put water on ur hand, u ask, how much? when it want u to pick up the protector, u ask, how slow should i move? For a first time user with wet installation, that was a walk in a park. clean device. spray fingers. spray protector. peel. spray protector again. stick. slide. remove bubble. pat to dry.
- there are smudges and micro bubbles, but by morning they're all gone. don't worry.
- the smoothness feeling is different, the skinomi feels a little more "sticky", especially if u put pressure. but if ur a light-touch user, it's just as smooth.
- under reflection, i can almost see why it's called "orange peel texture", but i could not feel it in my hand. a bit "sticky" but nowhere near "rough".
- it's somewhat fingerprint resistant, but not 100% smudge-resistant.
- the skin feels a bit "soft", so scratching it with ur nail or keys will leave a mark, but u can't feel that mark at all and it seems to disappear after awhile.
- clarity is top-notch. i could not find any difference in color or brightness when i test it with a couple 1080p movies (Lorax for color, Wall-E for darker environment)
- size/cut quality, however, is the only "not perfect" score. it's a tiny bit smaller than my nexus (about 1, maybe 1.5mm at most) so the edges where the screen protector ends, and fairly *thick*, so it is a bit "sharp" (u can feel this when u slide down the notification from outside the protector into the screen) and it does attract dust in the corners.
overall, very happy. not incredibly happy or anything (abit thick and soft and sticky from what i expected), but it's clear, protects, and barely noticeable.
will take pic later...
I give it a 7/10. I got the Black Carbon kit. Skinomi is the only mfg that I can find, that also covers the bottom part of the silver bezel. I wish they included 4 more strips for the top half of the bezel. The Carbon back could probably be about 1mm longer in length. If you line up the speaker cut out perfectly (equal distance all around the perimeter of the speaker), the bottom microphone hole gets covered. I had to "cheat" the skin down so the edge of the speaker cut out on top, was right at the edge of the speaker. That left about 1mm of space at the bottom of the speaker where you can see the dimpled rubber stock back. This also leaves about 1mm of space on the top, near the Micro USB, where you can see the stock back. But this does line all the mic holes up and it is flush at the bottom. You *really* have to look hard to see this, so 9/10. The side pieces look fine, although around the POGO Plug takes some fiddling.
The screen protector it a "soft type" (I call the rubbery/vinyl type soft, and the plastic type hard). I have a Seidio "hard" type on my Nexus S, and love it. It doesn't have a mark on it after 2 years and looks like glass with the screen off and light reflected off it. This screen protector has very slight "orange Peel" and also what look like "crease marks" all over it. You can only see these with the screen off and looking at reflected light, with the screen on, it is perfect. It does scuff. I like that it had actual cut outs for both the camera and flash. Install was fine (steamy bathroom and latex gloves), no bubbles and imperfections do disappear after 24 hours and fit is perfect. 8/10.
These are all niggles, I'll be leaving it on.
After having mine on to about a week, my screen has started losing responsiveness until I reboot. Probably a rogue app, but it makes me wonder.

I've had one on for a few weeks now. I have to say I'm not a huge fan. I would describe the texture as gummy and it has made my tablet less pleasant to use. I'm probably going to switch it out for the default screen protector that comes with otterbox I intend to purchase. I've had a much better experience with those on a couple of other devices.

i agree. gummy is a better word to describe it. i was going with "soft and sticky" :silly:
but for me it's not overly gummy, and the "gummy-ness" does protect from finger prints and scratches. it does leave a mark but it "heals" up pretty well.
also, just realized that i kind of missed the center abit, so the space on the left is a bit larger than the right, and the bottom right corner kinda lift up abit. completely fine, but being a perfectionist with screen protectors, i feel like i have to redo it.....
anybody can comment on redo-ing a Skinomi?

Flash??? i didnt kno Nexus7 has flash!
Cant you just contact them for a free replacement if you messed up? I think I read somewhere that they do that.
I know most screen protector manufacturers allow that.
I just ordered a screen protector (no back protection, not a fan of the fake carbon/aluminum stuff) for $12 after shipping. Found a 25% off coupon online, it was "get25" I think.
I've used both dry and wet application type protectors in the past. And yea, the dry ones always feel better, but I still prefer the wet ones because its easier to get a perfect fit.
If you're good any fitting screen protectors perfectly or just dont care that it might be slighhttly off, then go for a dry application one.
I personally cant stand if the edge of the protector isnt parallel to the edge of the screen, or if the spacing on the edges are uneven lol. So I go for wet ones.
yup. just saw FAQ that it's easy to remove, wash, and re-apply. guess that's what i'll be doing when i get home
(maybe this time i'll take pictures... lol)

Got this one also from MobileFun.
I'm hoping a better quality TPU case will come along.
The one I mentioned above from Amazon does the job but its not a good fit. There is a clear gap near the headphone socket viewed from the front, and it doesn't sit flush along the front bottom.
Will keep it safe for now though

Just reposting something I posted in another thread.
I bought a Terrapin Solid Black Hybrid Rubberised Back Cover / Case / Shell / Shield + 6-in-1 Screen Protector Pack for Xperia T from Amazon and it arrived almost a week earlier than estimated (2 days delivery!)
Best bit is it was only £4 so it's amazing value for money. It doesn't feel cheap at all and the material feels very smooth with a matte finish. Almost the same texture as the T's back case. The fit is perfect too - it snaps on to either sides of the phone with only openings at the top and bottom and the device feels very secure in the case.
The aforementioned sides of the case also raise slightly higher (about a mm or so) than the screen so if you were to rest the phone on a flat surface face down the screen never touches. In regards to accessing the side buttons (Power, Volume controls and Camera button) they're all very easy to press - unless you have fat fingers or overgrown nails.
I highly recommend getting one from Amazon since the delivery came earlier than expected and even if you want something more protective (leather flip case, bumper etc) this is only £4 and makes a great temporary case.
Link to the case can be found herehttp://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B009HRVW7W/ref=mp_s_a_4?pi=SL75&qid=1350000465&sr=8-4

My apologies if the photos aren't very clear. They were taken with my girlfriend's iPhone 4 - at night - in the kitchen. If you want I can take a few outside tomorrow morning in the sunlight at whatever angles you want. As you can see the case hardly adds any bulk to the phone - about 1.5 mm either side and 1.5 mm on the back.
The Rock naked case is really nice, have no issues with it so far and looks great.
Just bought the Krussel one, very handsome, well fiting and comfortable touch...I really like it and don't regret my money...
Next week i gonna get my Xperia T and i gonna order this case
http://www.ebay.nl/itm/Protect-Sili..._PDA_Taschen_Schutzhüllen&hash=item3f1caf26d3
love the design :good:
Quick question: What kind of case is best for impact protection, a hard case or a TPU case? Also, how badly will each type affect the phone's ability to cool itself? I've never used a case for my phones before, and I'm kind of worried about exposing the softer TPU case to the hot afternoon sun when I use my phone as a GPS, so I would like some advice if possible.

Glad you like it. I haven't found anything better yet, which could be a good thing - it really is a nice case.
That said, I sent a message to Incipio on their facebook site and I got a response to keep an eye out on their company website in the next 2 weeks or so... I like their other Sony smartphone cases. Another great company is Krusell, they already have cases for Xperia T but they don't seem to deliver to the UK.

I got my Rock case last week, and I have to say I love it. It feels tough, while not being obtuse or overbearing size wise. The edges on the screen side are tall enough to prevent the phone from resting on the screen itself when turned over, but don't stick up too much to be in the way.
Yeah I have the white Rock case and it's easily one of the nicest cases I've seen

Review of Panzer Glass (Tempered Glass screen protector) for LG G2

LOOK A FEW POSTS BELOW FOR A PICTURE
I purchased the Panzer Glass for LG G2, so I am going to give a quick review of it. Please hit the thanks button if this helped you out.
Panzer Glass can be purchased in Denmark in various stores and online at smartfast.dk. You will be able to find Panzer Glass on eBay and I've also seen some German sites selling it. I don't know if you can purchase this and have it shipped internationally,
although I am willing to e-mail them in order to ask. I am not a reseller nor a worker, and I do not benefit from doing this review.
EDIT: Panzer glass can now be bought from Smartfast.dk internationally for a flat shipping fee of 4.95 EUR. Please check the end of this page for details on how to purchase.
The glass is 0.4 mm thick and has a really nice feeling. It's oleophobic coating prevents almost all fingerprints (although you will occasionally find the need to wipe your screen) and it feels like real glass. It is labelled as shock resistant and anti-scratch (9H hardness). The display is not distorted at all, in fact it is crystal clear and renders every detail perfectly. The glass is case friendly, although I find it TOO case friendly; the width of the glass is the exact same width as the lit pixels (basically screen without bezel), and if you don't align the screen protector properly it will be a bit annoying to look at. I recommend using the hinge method for installing it, but more on that later.
As previously mentioned, the screen protector feels really good. The sensitivity of the screen does not suffer at all from the screen protector.
I haven't done any drop tests, scratch tests or anything like that, but it seems to hold up really well. This is truly a premium quality screen protector. You can see videos on youtube how the glass holds up to scratches, hammer tests and drop tests. I've yet to seen it crack or shatter.
Tips for installing the screen protector.
Don't put your nail under it if you want to realign it, as it damages the sticky side of the glass. Also, DO NOT BEND.
Use the "hinge-method".
Without taking the plastic off the screen protector, put the screen protector on the G2 when it's still turned on. Align the screen protector with the screen. Grab some tape and tape it from one side only, thus making hinges so the screen protector can flip on and off the screen like a flipcover. Turn the G2 off.
Now carefully clean the screen from dust using the alcohol swab that is included in the package and dry the screen with the included microfiber cloth. Remove the plastic from the back of the screen protector and flip it over, allowing it to adhere to the screen. It should now adhere all by itself. Use the microfiber cloth to push out any bubbles.
If everything is OK, remove the tape and the plastic covering the face of the screen protector. That's it.
This screen protector is expensive compared to other screen protectors on the market, but I consider it a one-time investment. If it can prevent my screen from shattering and save my digitizer in case of a drop, I think it's well worth it.
PROS AND CONS
Pros:
Crystal clear screen
Olephobic coating that works as intended
Touch response is great
Easy to install
9H hardness
Supposedly shock resistant
Cons:
It only protects the lit part of the screen, but goes well with a case. It could probably be 1.5-2 mm wider and longer. EDIT: Just realised this is not possible since the glass curves. The lenght fits perfectly when the glass is properly aligned.
Feel a bit thick (but very sturdy)
If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
P.S. Pictures coming soon, I just need to find a way to take them!
Pictures?

I couldn't get my hands on a good camera so I just used my tablet's 5mpx shooter. Oh and it's a Chinese tablet by the way. The quality resembles a VGA camera from pre 00s.
I couldn't take pictures from different angle simply because it shows all black.
I've had the panzer glass on for a few days now. I have absolutely no issues with it, and it's really wonderful. It does sometimes pick up some fingerprints, depending on how "dirty" your fingers are, but wipe it off and you're good to go!
I haven't been as satisfied with any screen protector as I am with this.

No, you are right I'm have no problem to read in German.
Thank you very much for the link
ONE week with the Panzer Glass
It's still as good as when I applied it. Some of the micro bubbles it had when I applied seems to have disappeared, more or less. The screen protector is not chipping nor peeling off, and I only feel the need to wipe it once every about 2 days.
Panzer glass can now be purchased internationally from smartfast.dk for a flat shipping fee of EUR4.95!

Screen protector Condition is the very same as the moment I applied it. It has no scratches yet, despite the fact that I've not been very careful with my placement of the phone and I often put it on the table face down. I have no major issues with dust accumulating around the corners of the screen, but I do occasionally wipe the phone. The oleophobic coating does its job quite well but it doesn't mean you get rid of fingerprints completely. If you have very greasy fingers, it will not work as good.
I have only tried a few screen protectors but all I can say is that this one is most definitely the best I've tried. And it hasn't peeled off at the corners

Do you think you can take a picture of it with the screen on? I want to see how much past the actual lit screen it covers.

I really don't have access to any another camera other than the one I have on my G2 :/
However, I can tell that It doesn't cover much past the actual lit screen, probably 1 mm more.
Thanks for this, just need to see what price I can get it for! Do you mind stating how much you paid? Thanks also for the "hinge method" such a simple idea, why didn't I think of that!

I got it for what translates to 37 dollars which is a pretty high price, but it's also a premium quality that comes with the price! And in the end, if it really turns out to save the screen from cracks, It could save you the price of a new digitizer.
P.S. Hitting the thanks button is appreciated

No worries, I just paid £23 (GBP) for one, so that seems to be pretty much the standard price. There was only one left on stock and I was pretty keen to get it ordered so I just went for it as I could not find any other UK stock.
Cheers

That is about the same as I paid. I'm sure you will enjoy it, but be very careful when putting it on, bro. It's best if you can find a place free of dust and lint and try to fit it perfectly the first time so you don't have to realign it, because putting your nail under it in order to realign it may damage the sticky side so much that it won't adhere where you nail has been. I've tried it.
Make sure you have plenty of time

I have got the Spigen Glas.t on my HTC One and I managed to apply it without bubbles and dust using a kind of "drop it on and pray" method and that worked out ok. With the hinge method now being revealed I should be fine. I'll just have to make sure I don't put it on with a hangover!
Lol drop it on and pray I like that method ... I have iloomie and I guess I didn't pray hard enough had 1 spec of dust in the middle of the screen lol ?

Just turn on the shower to hot and wait a few minutes for it to steam up. Then do it in the bathroom with the door closed.

LUVVITT Clear Grip (Case Review)

I don't know if this case has been reviewed yet or not but I just got it today. I had to find a case quick and it needed to be cheap since I don't know if I'll be getting the HTC 10 or LG G5. It also needed to be available for same day Amazon shipping since I couldn't go another day without a case. Don't get me wrong, I would have loved to use this phone without a case but it's design makes it a little difficult for me. My palm is always touching the screen which causes some minor issues but my biggest complaint is while playing a game such as Trials Frontier. When playing a game like this, it starts to become uncomfortable after just 5 minutes of play. It's most likely due to the phones thin edges which are rounded but still sharp when holding it horizontally.
Anyway, this case fixed all of my issues. It still keeps the phone very thing but it provides just enough thickness to the edges to make the phone feel more comfortable when using. The case itself feels well made but I suppose there isn't much to screw up with a TPU case. All of the cutouts match up and the buttons stay very crisp. The case provides a nice grip without providing to much grip to where it becomes an issue sliding your phone in and out of your pockets. The actual fit of the case is very snug but it's still easy to remove. I suppose if you keep on removing it and installing it, there is a possibility it could become loose.
In regards to protection it's not going to work any miracles but I'm sure it would provide some kind of protection during drops. It's a super thin case that has the corners slightly raised. They are raised just enough to keep the display off of a hard surface if the phone falls face down or if you like keeping your phone face down on the table. These raised corners however only slightly sit above the front glass so dropping it on an uneven surface such as asphalt could have dire consequences. The back is no problem at all as the raised corners give the back glass more clearance.
If you're looking for a crystal clear super thin case that offers nice grip, decent protection and allows you to showcase this nice looking phone then you might be interested in it. If you care more about protection than the way your phone looks and feels then this probably isn't the case for you.
You can pick it up on Amazon for $12.99 (PRIME Eligible.)
Side Note: The Edge display keeps full functionality if that's important to you.

I did this late last night. I'll take some pictures today and add them.
i bought 4 luvvitt cases when they were like $4-5 on slickdeals including this one. haven't opened this one yet, but will. thanks for the review.
Does the back have texture? Does part of the phones glass back stick to it at all?
Also btw the sale on these cases (including the normal clear one) are still going on with the code SLICK007

Yes. The back sides are textured. I also just removed it to see if it stuck and no it doesn't.
I don't know what kind of deal that coupon code gets you but it its $10 or less then I'd definitely get one. I needed the case same day shipped through Amazon Prime so I just paid full price.

I also got one as well during the SD promo as well, Posted some pictures of it bellow and sorry if the quality is not up to par.
Just wanted to help out on the real pictures. It's fine I've been using the Spigen Tough Armor for now. Just wanted a clear one for home or if show of how nice the phone looks while still on case.
Thanks from the real pictures. I knew I was forgetting something today. My wife had me running around like a chicken with my head cut off today since we are having family over our house for Easter tomorrow.

can you detail your opinions about the build and pros cons of the Luvvitt cases.
Bought sleek armor and aside from the lack of lip it seems like a nice low profile case with some protection. Just dont like the fact that the phone when face down with the case does not have enough lip to protect the screen.
The home button rest directly on the surface.Testing this out I caused micro scratches on the home button which is naturally a bit raised.
Would love pics and opinions on what yours are like...
