hi im new here... i just wanna ask if samsung galaxy mini really needs a screen guard or the screen can survive without it??
Mine has no single scratch though my phone falled from me several times, but absolutely it is better to use one.
It's not that hard to scratch it with e.g. keys, so it's better to get some screen guard IMO
thanks a lot
ill browse around the forums for a while..
thanks.
It can live without it but I also recommend to use one I'm currently using that no-fingerprint, anti-glare ones and they're pretty cool. I'm too lazy to put the phone to the leather bag case so I decided to combine the screen protector and the silicone case. Now the phone and screen are protected and it's easier to pick up a call when I have only one free hand at the moment..

yes bro get Protector as soon as possible, Its screen is not scratchless. I did a some mistake and now my mini got scratches
I gone to a mobile shop, there I asked for screen protector.
He applied and I was back home playing with mini as usual. But I noticed some peeling on the top left corner.
My friend tried to remove the protector and he removed completely without any pressure.
Then analysing the shape of the protector I find that it had cutted through scissors which was not original(it was made by some other company)
So I ask that should I opt for silicon protector or which some other one.

Suggest private screen guard
Mine just fine maybe u got no luck hehe. Why dont u claim for the new one from the shop? I suggest to use private screen guard and i love it because only you can see your screen, if there is someone looking your phone from beside they wont see any.
hi
with screen guard it better
you should ask first, what kind of protector they gonna give you and what it looks like.
for me, I'm using capdase anti-glare. not really great performances, but it's better than nothing.
better to use one

What do you mean by "anti-fingerprint"?! It is inevitable to get fingerprints on a touch (the name says it all) device. You leave fingerprints on almost everything you grab during the day! Except for sand and cloth maybe .
anti-fingerprint means a screenprotector that can hide fingerprint. my head have one for his i-phone.. but who made that screenprotector doesn't have it for hd2...
so matte screenprotector can hide the fingerprints?
any link?

I'm using a matt screen protector as well. The only thing I'm finding is that the screen isn't as sensitive with it on, but for driving with the phone in its cradle its fantastic.

Yeah where did you find that... all the website says is "coming soon" I can't view anything except that. All ebay has is for other phones.
I bought this case near home,in a little store.

Cases have one, big disadvantage... It wipes a "chrome" frame from our Ace.
That's because the frame isn't actually chrome, but it's made of plastic.
Sad but true.
But it's better to have a case and protect our Ace.

It won't leave any marks, but it will wipe silver frame, because it's made of plastic.
Sooner or later it will happen without using any case.
By the way:
Case has special buttons inside it, so it's not a problem to push Ace's buttons.
I have the TPU rubber case from amazon, it fits perfect & looks pretty good, was 1$ with free shipping.
Ive got the same

i think capdase case is much better the original one
I saw one here locally but unfortunately they are knockoffs. I want to buy the real deal but I spent a whole afternoon scouring the local mall but to no avail. lol.
TPU case seems to be the way to go then?

my friend buy that one, but it can make ace paint damaged on edge.
I managed to make it 2 weeks unscathed with great care but I finally fell victim to a few scratches in the corners on the front and back and a chip in the middle (Just my luck, the case arrives today as well '-.-). Sure I heard the warnings of it being slippery but I guess I was surrounded by level surfaces all the time..Nonetheless while turning into a parking lot at a decent speed, my poor nexus leaped out of the cupholder like a bar of soap and onto the floor. Luckily, I managed to both grab it without holding up traffic or completely destroying the screen by stepping on it/dragging it too much across the floor trying to retrieve it. I guess this experience is motivation enough to keep my car cleaner >_>. My pure android experience isn't completely ruined but you can see the scratches if you look hard enough...Perfectionists be further warned.

Completely naked..
You think that's slippery, try using the bumper.

Get an hard case of eBay, it's matte finish, nice to touch and isn't slippery!

I decided to go with a diztronic tpu like I did on my galaxy s2 and it will be waiting for me when I get off work. It should serve me pretty well, I'm not very accident prone with my electronics...This however was a very unfortunate freak accident.
This has been mentioned a few times in the various review & first impression threads. No need to have another discussion about this.

Hello all,
Now this is a very simple question.
Since the Sony Xperia Z has a glass back would it be possible to engrave a picture onto the back part of the phone?.

There are some stickers available for the back of the XZ. That's about it right now.
There are also some sites that let create your own sticker, but I forgot them, so can't really see if the XZ is available on those.
Edit: I meant a site like this

There are etching solutions that you brush on and create a froted glass like effect which you can actually feel. This does damage the glass so it's not recommended. What might be an idea, is to buy a spigen tempered glass protector and use the solution on that.
no guarantee it will work, and im not responsible for any damage, but this is the idea

Of course it would be, but it will cost you a lot of money since it is very hard glass (hard to engrave), jeopardise the strength of the rear glass and void your warranty
Watch the video and understand the concept of tempered glass.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FJUD5WB_ko&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Basically when you engrave something in the glass it will lose most of it's (strength). So I don't advice you to do so. Aluminium and plastic are a totally different story and wouldn't be as affected as the tempered glass when doing things like engraving.
Stickers as someone above me mentioned seems like the best option.

Once glass is tempered it can't be drilled or cut so engraving is out of the question I'd say.
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
U can drill it with a very low drilling speed and feed, or it will break like normal glass.
But this will dramatically reduce back glass durability.
If I still have access to that cnc machine, I would be able to make my own back panel.

Sorry for the late response I've been busy. Thanks for the ideas I think I'm going to go with getting a clear plastic case and engrave that. I could probably do some sick effects going that route as well.
Which brands recommend me? Thx
¹ Only for protection purpose
² Transparent

I got a xtremeguard one. For the price I can't complain about the transparency and also add a lot of grip to the back if you are going to run case-less.
I can upload pictures if you want!
also currently the got a coupon code for 90% off too! 90off1
if you can post pictures, I would appreciate!
Thx

I haven't tried Xtremeguard but I installed slickwraps on my gf's phone and it's a really good quality. it's a dry install and you have to have a LOT of patience with it. I have a skinomi on mine under my case and I'd have to say the SW is on par with quality, maybe even better of a cut fit and it doesn't have the orange peel feeling like the skinomi does. It has full coverage and they provide both top and bottom front plate cover and a whole front cover whichever you prefer. It has top and bottom coverings as well. Her phone is prone to riding in my gf's purse and so far only a couple of unnoticeable nicks, no tears. She did drop it once and the skin didn't scratch. Though I now make her put it in a case, the skin remains on for front and button coverage. The only issue I had with the whole front cover was the side bezel covers tend to stretch when you're applying it so you have to trim a bit to get them to lay flat. Also slickwraps has a 35% off coupon + free shipping today only (or so says their ad) the code is luvsw if you're interested.
I ended up buying Xtremeguard, because of the price difference. However the Xtremeguard does not protect the top or bottom =/
Thank you both!
I have bestskinever. Pretty good for the price. They do protect the side,top and bottom of the device.

Sure. Here is some pic I taken with my tablet. Too bad I don't have any better camera. The top portion where the power button is located. That sp is not from bestskinever. Its from skinomi. I would suggest you to get skinomi if you were looking for more durability. As the film on the skinomi feels much thicker than the bestskinever. If budget is wat you are looking for. Bestskinever would be it.
