What about this case?

This one looks interesting. It looks like it wraps all the way around the side of the phone, and slides apart on the back to open. This might keep from having the issue of jamming the screen cover in between the slider mechanism.
Has anyone ever used this brand? I'm curious if it is worth it.

Looks interesting. I'm curious, and half tempted to pull the trigger on this just to see the design..

I am definitely interested in this too, I used to have a slider case for my touch pro that worked very well, but it was a side slider. I'm curious how that wrap around would mess with how you hold your phone though

What do they mean by the "sliding mechanism is on the back of the handset rather than the front or sides"?

Well I haven't actually seen the case in person, but I'm guessing its similar to my old case for my tp in that I didn't clip to the phone. You would put the bottom on, then the top by sliding the pieces together into their slides. This held it on the phone and made for no pulling apart the phone by the clips being in between the two halves. I've really been surprised that design didn't catch on a lot better then it did. I loved it!

sounds intriguing id like to hear if someone gets this and what they think

I just ordered it. I'll report back with what I find.

woo, sweet! Now we will finally know something.

Here is a thread from Android Central with a couple pics of this case. Just scroll down a little.
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-shift-4g/52820-evo-shift-case.html

I just got it. It feels really good. It feels as though it should cost more money. It makes the phone fit better in my hands. Feels a lot sturdier as well. Once I get a hold of another camera I can take some pictures.

Just ordered mine too. Will post pictures when I get it.

I am highly debating getting this, I already have the max coverage invisible shield on my phone, but I would feel better if it had some rubber surrounding it. But I want to hear real world reviews before I jump.

This case isn't rubber. It feels like a hard plastic that is slightly rubbery. Feels VERY similar to the back of the evo shift 4g(without the case of course)

I got mine today. But its loose at the top right of my phone. Its like it doesn't fit all the way. So I'm going to return it and patienly wait for another one.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App

How does it attach to the phone? Does it actually clip to it, or do the two pieces of case hold to each other? I have a few extra batteries and I want to be able to pop off the back easily, and that usually breaks the tabbed ones. So if this holds on like I think it does, it's perfect for me. How does it feel protective wise? Like are you pretty confident it will protect the phone? or does it still leave a wavering feeling like I better never drop this thing or it's shot? lol

Mine is starting to get like that too. It doesn't bother me too much though.
@unityjasont: The two sides are independent from each other. The backpiece clips onto the rear part of your phone and the top piece onto the screen/slider portion. Then you match them up so that they are on the track. It feels very solid to me. I've actually dropped my phone twice since I got this case. Just scuffed up the case a little bit and I rubbed off the scratch easily each time. It's pretty easy to pop off the backpiece. It doesn't feel as though it's going to break. I also forgot to mention that the camera, flash, and volume rocker are now recessed. So there's no worrying about scratching the camera lens, and there's a lot less accidental volume key pressing.
I took some pictures as well as a video with my macbook's crappy camera.

glad your happy
Sorry, I just don't get the piece that slides up with the screen. Seems kind of strange and in the way.
Is there a point to this thing?

Screen Cover micro Review

I recently purchased a packet of mybat-branded fitted screen covers for the Cricket Zio, part CRKM6000LCDSCPRTW. It appears to be a decent fit. Light sensor, LED and earpiece cutouts are within 0.5mm tolerance. Soft buttons are covered, does not overlap the hard buttons or trackball recess.
Now to see how it holds up. Or not. It may well be good, but my caffeine-addled hands cannot get it to go on straight, before the sticky gets covered in lint.

Ive got ghost armor on my screen. Gonna have the rest done later this week. Free replacement armor since it is covered in the price.
my soft keys are covered same as yours.

first time I had tried to use that type of screen protector on a different phone I didnt have as much luck.... same type of protector but when I squeegeed it down I think I pressed to hard and caused it to orange peel on the surface... it worked great to protect but just didnt look that good.....
this time though on the Zio it went down smooth as can be and more or less looks like its not even there.... only place you can really tell is where its cut to go around the trackball and hard keys... and for the price I am SUPER happy with it..... no scratches (even with a diamond earing that is KNOWN to destroy phone screens) and I personaly feel it adds a bit of smoothness to the screen when your touching/sliding things around on it.... for 4 bucks I aint complaining!

They do the sides and back aswell ad top and bottom. At that point the only thing hurting your phone is being run over, dropped from a decent 10+ feet, water, and yourself.

I got tired of the hard case, and decided to carry my phone naked. Heck, first day having nothing on it, I got scuffs! I realized I should have applied some NuFinish car wax on my handheld prior to going naked, but I didn't.

I would have agreed with you three days ago, but I've carried my ZIO naked for a year and a half, and it's fared pretty well for being in a desert. Anyway, I hit up T-Mobile (I own a cricKet ZIO) for a screen protector only they give out, and for fifteen dollars, I'd give my full seal of approval. Straight up. It improves screen smoothness by 60%, and protects 90% as well as Zagg Invisible Shields for 25% less.

**Nexus S- Carbon Vinyl**

For those complaining about the cheap plastic back cover of their Nexus S.
Here`s a solution.
I`ve recently got a piece of carbon vinyl from a car store around. You can easily get one of these on ebay for about 1-2 bucks. Get yourself a hairdryer(for the edges obviously)
Remove the back cover and apply the vinyl on it, remove air bubbles and with the use of a sharp cutter do your own cut outs.
Minute bubbles will even disappear overnight! Press the corners around the device with your thumb and I recommend that you use a hair dryer to ensure that all tabs and corners are firmly fixed.
Here is the first pic I`ve taken. I am going to post in a few days the layout to make it easier for you guys.
Nexus S MIUI using franco Kernel
P.S: This skin is actually on sale for $30 on phantom skins
The phone looks gorgeous coupled with the Rearth Ringke case. Take a look at the pics. I alternate with the case depending on my usual usage

Wow ... it looks awesome .... I'll definitely try this. Thanks for the tip.

That's wicked, nice DIY project. My favorite so far, the faux metal brushed back cover come close second. I'll really like to buy several back cover when I'll get my job back (low season at the company I work for) to try all of them.

Looks great, dude, but how are the edges on the sides? Maybe it's my lack of knowledge about these sheets of carbon fiber, but is it not rough and ugly around the edge (if you're looking at the phone from the front)?
Maybe I need to wait for more pictures

Looks awesome, good job!

You are actually right Ryjabo. The front edges are ugly in the pic, but it was taken just after application. Am gonna use the hairdryer to make it much better, and post some pics when am back home

Dude that's sick. I'll be picking up a 3rd battery door cover via local (spcs store) just for this.
But how did you cut the camera, flash and speaker slots so clean and neat?

Well, to achieve this just remove the back cover of the phone and apply the vinyl.
Once you are satisfied with the overall result (air bubbles etc..), just turn over the back over, and use a sharp cutter for the camera and flash.
Then, use the hairdyer and press the borders firmly for it to hold in place.
But for the speaker, you`ll need to be more skilful. First, enter the tip of your cutter in both holes. Turn over the back cover( to the vinyl side ), and complete the cutting. That`s it.

done this mod to my nexus last night. The template that was given in the first post wasn't that good tbh so I just cut a large enough piece and then heat it up to curve the edges enough and then cut the excess off. Still a bit rough round the edges where its creased but overall I'm happy. Have plenty more to redo it if needed tho!

I am sorry about the template. It`s actually for the i9023 variant. My friend got better result with his Galaxy S by heating the vinyl before applying it on the edges. I think you`ve got a pretty nice result

In fact you are right. They are both similar.
Dimensions (HxWxD) 124 x 63 x 11mm I9020
123.9 x 63 x 10.9 mm I9023
Well, these are minor differences but enough to alter positioning of the camera and flash cutouts.
After using my Nexus S for a few weeks now, I think the vinyl wrap is just getting better and better
I`m planning to make some reflective Nexus logo decal on the back, will be much easier to get grab of the phone at night - even if at times, the BLN is of a great help

I was inspired by this thread and so i decided to use the leftover vinyl from my galaxy tab 10 and here are the results
before anyone asks, the white cover is from ebay for the european i9023!

Does anybody has the layout for the cover?

iSmooth protectors buy 1 set, get 1 set free

I just received my iSmooth protectors today, the packaging is really nice and I love the cloth. I am going to install them in a bit and report back. I noticed in the package a little info card and if you post a review of the protector on Amazon and provide all the proof of review and your Amazon order number they send you another set for free with free shipping. I don't recall anyone mentioning this previously so I thought I would share the information. If you e mail them the Amazon order number, Details of the offer can be found here www.iSmooth.com/freepromo you will receive the same item you purchased or you can choose another similar product in their range. Pretty sweet deal, imo, that's 6 protectors and 2 cloths for just under $11

I think I mentioned it before in another post, they include Thank You card with this info. Indeed a very sweet deal, and they just want your honest opinion/review to receive a second set. But as you know, if you don't like the product you will not request for a second set anyway. Btw, did you receive original screen protectors with green cover film or the new ones with a clear cover film?

Thanks, I already got a reply from Paul and he's sending out a new set. I love the feel and clarity of the protector, I don't like the cut on this one, too much screen exposed. I finally got the tackiness rubbed off and it feels really nice. I pulled off the jlg protector off my mom's phone, the rainbow was really annoying her. Slapped an iSmooth on it, she's happy now.

You gonna love new version. It's on par with Spigen stuff! The width will be similar to green tint ones, but the cutouts around home button and top of the phone are better. It sticks perfectly, crystal clear, no marks from s-pen, no rainbow effects, and very easy to wipe. Not sure if it was just my sample, I did notice some accumulation of fingerprints, but it's so easy to wipe. No different than Spigen oleophobic. The most important, it feels very smooth, not plasticky at all. This clear version is going to be their new screen protector moving forward in a week or so, as told by Paul.

I was using whatever support email is at http://ismooth.com/support/
I just know the guy's name is Paul since he replied back to me. Sorry guys, I probably confused a crap out of everybody with my references to "old" versus "new". I just go by how I understood it originally and what others posted in the forum (I think some of those screen protector posts were removed in favor of a new sticky thread?). Just never mind that whole new vs old stuff. I would say order it, and if everything works great and you are happy - then you are done! They give you lifetime guarantee and you will get 2nd set for free with instructions they provide inside of the shipping package. Also keep in mind, everybody has their own opinion and preference. Some like wet install, others dry. Some want tempered glass, others something else. The tricky part with screen protectors, those are not like cases where its easy to try one versus the other, and then you return whatever you like, or keep a few to change it for different occasions, etc. So, if you find one screen protector you like and happy with it - stop driving yourself crazy (i'm speaking from a personal experience) lol!!! Again, just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt lol!!!

You mean coming off the left side of the phone? In general, not just iSmooth, if glass is not clean and/or oily from fingerprints on one side then it might have issues with sticking. Have you tried another screen protector from the pack and do you see the same problem? Make sure you wipe your screen really good. I actually buy one of those eye glass little spray bottles - its amazing how it cleans the screen and even screen protector (it works on both glass and plastic).
From the picture you posted, it looks like the original cut. Paul mentioned only something like 5% of original screens were affected by an issue of not sticking edge. If you remember, Note 2 has a glass that slopes down toward the Home button. That is where the troublesome edge could happen. If you see the second protector doing the same thing, even after you clean the screen, contract them and ask for a replacement new batch.
.... note to myself: check with iSmooth if they are hiring tech support lol!!!

HTC One M8 Dot View Case

I really want the Dot View case for this phone. Did anyone mange to get their hands on one and dicovered that they don't like it? Why don't youlike it and would you sell it?

I just got it today and I absolutely love it! The only thing I don't like is, when you flip it back then its a little slippery! But thats all! It fits great and just looks great on the phone!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have mixed feelings about it. When I bought my HTC One from Verizon, I was told that they weren't going to have the Dot View cases in stock for at least a month or two due to the high demand of them. Because of this, I picked up the Incipio Black Feather Case. Funny enough, the next day after buying I get a phone call from Verizon saying they got a single dot view case in being held for me. The case itself feels incredibly cheap. While it definitely feels like it can protect my screen, the backing of the case feels just like a cheap plastic. For the cost of the case, I was expecting something a little bit better in the build quality.
As for the case itself, its too gimmicky for me for the time being. It only works with default HTC apps. I use a different SMS app (Sliding Messenger Pro) and the Gmail app for my email. Neither of these are supported by the dot view case. I've tried googling around to see if there's a work around for these or a separate dot view app that allows these but have yet to find anything. The only thing I could use the case for was the time, answering phone calls, voice dialing, and changing my volume. I really wanted to be able to see my sms / email notifications on screen.
Im also not a fan of the folding case in general yet. I'm not used to the folding and I often text with one hand so it makes it rather awkward to try and hold the case open in order to text.
I don't know though.. if I could use my own SMS / Gmail apps with it instead of the default HTC ones, I might want to use it again. Until then, its going to sit on my desk unused.

I have been using the HTC Dot View case for about 2 weeks now. Here are some simple pros and cons
Pros:
Look...Seamless and perfect compliment to the M8
Feel...plastic and rubber that seems like a good build
Protection...Fully covers screen with rubber "dot" flap and plastic back wraps the back and corners of the metal body of the phone
Alerts...Easy to read 8 bit type text and icons (looks great in the dark)
Cons:
Price...I got mine for $50 at an AT&T retail store
Dust/lint...gets trapped in the "dots" find myself using a can of BlowOff keeping it clean
Alert Limitations...can only use the HTC apps with this case
I would recommend if you have $50 to blow. I personally don't like 3rd party accessories so willing to pay for the HTC branded products. I love my DotView case but trying to provide a unbiased opinion.

I just got mine in the mail a week ago. So far, I love it. I just hope that HTC releases updates to allow third party notifications like Gmail, Facebook, etc. I would also really like if they could integrate a music player controls as well. But all in all, it's a great accessory to such an amazing device.

Anyone with a warm black dot view? Is it black or grey? Also if you can post the part number (you can find it on box backcover)

Anyone notice a couple of holes are kind of shiny inside? Like something is on the plastic film that's in the holes. Anyone cleaned theirs yet? Would water and soap be ok?

don't poke or remove the peices in the holes it keeps the stuff off it screen and I just wiped it down with some water it cleans up quite nicely I wouldn't use soap some soaps kill pixels so yah... No glass cleaner either my friend sprayed his with some trying to make it shinier it killed the Nfc tag in it

I think the idea behind the case is solid but its execution is flawed. Mine seems to loose its grip on the top corners as the plastic is too hard and needs a more grippy material. I've swapped 3 cases now. Its been mentioned before about the short hinge not letting the front sit flat on the back. I do love and find the display very useful. Hopefully a third party will be able to remedy the faults.

I got one but I'm not a fan of holding it in one hand while it's open. I'll probably sell or trade it.

Overall disappointed. Sure it's a nice case and, feels good in the hand but the hinge on it makes it almost unusable for daily use. If you only open your phone a few times a day it's probably perfect but if you actually need to use the device totally annoying. Will return it.

Anyone notice a couple of holes are kind of shiny inside? Like something is on the plastic film that's in the holes. Anyone cleaned theirs yet? Would water and soap be ok?

I noticed the same shiny spots on mine. I'm not to worried about it but curious none the less... I clean mine with only water. and compressed air.

Yeah! I've tried compressed air and water but the 2 shiny holes remain. They always catch my eye when I glance down and I think I have a notification or something.

Anyone have the "Orange" dot view case? If so, is it really orange, because the images online look more like it's red?

ATM no but it looks like they are working on it. You will also lose Motion Launch and use of the secondary depth camera with CM

Be careful not to drop the phone in this case. Dropped it less than a foot onto the top left edge, left a dent in the black plastic bar on top of the phone.

Next gen Dot View should have a flush foldover. Biggest detractor for me. Love it otherwise...only a matter of time before features are ported to aosp and more functions are added (gapps etc)

May or May not help, I noticed the phone has an Dot View app installed. That may all that is needed to get it working on another ROM. Seems to use a NPC chip. That is what I'm guess is detecting when the case is opened or closed. The HTC on the front lines up with the Small box on the inside.
I willing to sell mine too as holding it with one hand it not an option with this case.
