So, are there any good cases for the N7 that can be bought in the UK? I want something that doesn't add too much bulk; I prefer TPU/silicone cases that cover the back (Like the Switcheasy Colors series for iDevices). Also, does the screen even need a protector? I'm very nitpicky about scratches so if someone could help me out that'd be great.

The screen is scratch resistant, although it still can get scratched - so I would say get a decent quality screen protector for it. You can get a silicone case off eBay that's shipped from the UK that is similar to the Switcheasy stuff.
Only thing is I'm not sure which screen protectors are decent to be honest. I don't want another ZAGG one.
I'm keeping an eye out too.
I hate all the thick, fake leather, chinese ones that cover round the bezel.
Anyone know of any good screen protectors that can be bought in the UK? I like the wet apply ones but the ZAGG on my iPod had a little too much 'drag' for my liking.
Best skins ever you can't go wrong quick shipping as well us though.
Those XOSkins look really nice but I believe they're US only as well
I've got the terrapin dry application screen protector and the S line gel case (in clear). Both are widelty available on eBay UK for next to no money. All good

Hi!
I'm looking for a protective skin for my Xperia. I bought SGP Shield but i don't like the body protection because there are a lot of spaces between the panels, and the phone may scratch easily in some places (specialy the chromed parts).
Did anyone installed the Skinomi TechSkin? In their pic it seems that it will cover better the phone without any space left uncovered.
Skinomi: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B002L9FDPK/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=301185&s=wireless
SGP: http://mojel98.cafe24.com/eb-allcra...son_xperia_x1_incredible_shield2_contents.gif
The screen protector from SGP is impressive. I like it.
Thanks in advance!
I don't have it, but please post if you get it. I would like something that covers just the chrome, as that seems to be the most delicate part of the phone, and covering it won't affect the aluminum feel of the phone.
Let us know how the TechSkin fares!
If it's the same one that I have, then it is the best screen protector out there. Reason I'm not sure if it's the same as mine is because it was advertized differently when i got it. On ebay it was called the clear protector for xperia without the brand name you mentioned. The only similarity between the two is the fact that the skin cuts are exactly the same. because my phone is covered in all the areas and the one you posted matches that. if they mention that the protector material is the same stuff they use to line helicopter propellers, then it's the same stuff and i would highly recommend them.
Thank you! I have ordered this product. I'll post when it arrives over 3-4 weeks, and tell you what I think about it.
Cheers!

Yup, same one: Skinomi
I'm interested in the full skinned body to protect my X1, but I'm not too sure because I'm afraid of how it will end up looking. I saw a Fuze with it and if you looked closely, you could see clearly the skin lines on the sides. Is there any possibility that you could post some close up pics as to know how it looks like?
Thanks in advance!
Oh! And hows is the feel to it with the skin? Is it too glossy that the original fuze?
Thanks!!
Sorry I'm replying so late.
Well, I removed the skin from my X1 (I'm planning on buying the black housing since I have silver), so all that's on it is the screen and the battery cover. I can say confidently that it feels great. If your hands are moist, you can slide your fingers across it. Same goes for if your hands are dry. It doesn't feel cheap. And it won't stick to the sides in your pocket, you can pull it out smoothly with no trouble. If I ever get around to posting a pic, I'll do so. Cosmetically, you can't really tell it's there from a glance. Up close you can see it, but it's not all too different from an X1 without it.

Thank you!
I have ordered it some 3 weeks ago. It should arrive any day now. I've also ordered the leather pouch from noreve. I hope that I'll install the Skinomi only in extreme cases .
Cheers!
Skinomi installed and not worth of it
Its true that its improve the protection but lacks of stay on phone, its separates more day after day from the surface of the x1 if you puts the x1 inside a cover or in a pouch without mention the risk that you have to "WET" the skinomi to apply in on the phone! i had to get a hairdrier with me LOL. I not recommend this.

Thanks. I've bought my Skinomi TechSkin, and also a Noreve leather pouch. I don't need the Skinomi TechSkin anymore, so I can't communicate you the results.

Are these scratch-proof made of military helicopter blade material like the protech & Zagg shields?
i spent over 50 dollars on cases and they all either broke or made the phone look fat ...
i decided an invisible sheild type sheild may be the best compromise. MY only trouble with itin the past was the sticky feeling surfaces, but maybe that changed.
any suggestions for a low cost total protector ? thanks !
I've been through all the cases too and even the full body sheilds. For the HD2, the best solution for me is a good gel case, (about £3. on ebay) the kind that has seperate openings for the camera, flash and speaker. Also vital is a good quality screen protector. My Vikuiti has been working perfectly for about 4 months now. With thise in place, the device is protected from bumps and scratches, has good grip, gains very little bulk and the screen still feels like glass.
i think that is what i will do then. thanks.
can you recommend a few gel casss from ebay ? perhaps capdase xpose jacket ?
Gel Case
I bought my Gel Case at Spider-Foot.com for 3.99 delivered to Sweden.
I think it's rather good.
Makes the HD2 about 3mm bigger all around (2x1.5mm)
At the same time I bought a 2-piece hard rubber case, same price but not as good.
Too stiff and sides are protruding making it bigger than necessary.
Previously I bought a Flexicase Silver, but that case is not good for radio/GPS reception. It almost blocks out GPS signals totally
Probably the metallic coating that acts as a Faraday Screen?
A Krusell leather case is also at home with me, good but rather clumpsy butit has it advantages when you don't want the HD2 in your pocket or on a bicycle.

This is the one I bought in Feb, still works great http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-BLACK-GEL-C..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item27adb5e82e
Just want to chime in. I'd stayed out from all body shield. I've used ZAGG invisible shield but removed it less than 3 months. Despite perfect installation, dirts accumulate on the edges and maaan I tell you its ugly! Also, it makes my screen less sensitive to touch.
Now I'm using soft gel case like ribcage and klp use, love it!
Have you tried an Otterbox Commuter? It doesn't add that much bulk to it.

I checked the listing. They ship to the US for 90p. Just make sure your phone is the same size. The US models are slightly different. If not, search ebay.com for gel cases and look for a similar one for US models. I'm sure there's plenty.
The Nexus S is very slippery, and gets a lot of fingerprints and scratches, at least on the battery cover. This is the reason that I want to buy a case, or a full body protector.
A case has as an advantage that it will protect your device from falling damage, but that isn't the reason I want one, so maybe it would be better to buy a full body protector! Since every full body protector protects against scratches and fingerprints, the only important thing is the grip.
I have a couple of questions about those full body protectors:
- Can you buy a full body protector without a screen protector? 'Cause I don't need one.
- Like I said, I want to have more grip. Does this mean it has to be an orange peel one? The orange peel only affects the looks and the feel, and since I'm not going to use a screen protector, it doesn't matter that much. But if there is a full body protector with a lot of grip AND without orange peel, it would be nice.
- In my case, what would you recommend? A full body protector, or a case? If I'm going to buy a case, it will definitely be the "S" curved gel case, because IMO it's the only case that doesn't mess with the looks of the Nexus S.
Thanks in advance!
there are several topics in this accessories section already commenting on many models, just read through them
I have the S shaped TPU case on my phone right now. I was a bit absent minded and bought the clear one by mistake. It doesn't look nearly as nice as the black.
I have had it on for a week now, and I can say that it makes the phone feel cheap (i don't think it feels cheap naked) The buttons are also harder to press and it is very hard to find them by touch. To remedy this I bought the Tech21 d3o pouch from someone here. Will see how it is when it arrives.

I don't think there is a topic about wheter you can buy a body protector without a screen protector or not... I'm not asking for a good full body protector, I am asking questions about full body protectors...
I got stealth shieldz from ebay just for the back protector. It protects most of the back if you can put it on correctly. The corners are a bit difficult and you might need to use a hair dryer and stretch it a little bit to get most of the back. There is no protection for the front bezel or anything.
I got 2 full body protectors for about $5. It was one of those "make an offer" listing. It's a wet application protector. I mainly bought it for back protection, I don't like the screen protector because waiting for the micro bubbles to disappear bothers me.
To answer your question, yes you can buy the full body without the front. But you'll probably need the front as well to avoid any micro scratches from occurring on the screen. Visit ghost armor or zagg or bestskinsever for the protection. The pricing of the individual pieces usually entice you to purchase the full kit.
Zagg tends to have a lot of orange Peel. No experience with BSE. I personally have ghost armor. There is a thread with pics if you search.

Thanks, but like I said, I don't need a screen protector. It is glass after all, and I don't want to mess with the touch responsiveness and colours of my display. Besides, it would be a shame that I won't be able to use the coating anymore...
I think I am just going to buy Ghost Armor or Best Skin Ever, and just throw the screen protector away or something...
G2 Brothers,
I recently bought a brand new G2, I have no accessories for G2 and I have not tried any yet. I like the G2 Flip Cover a little from watching it on YouTube, but I havent tried it. So maybe someone can help me decide from a few questions:
1) Does the Flip Cover add a lot of weight on the phone and is the phone still comfortable to use with that cover?
2) Would it be more appropriate to just buy a regular screen protector instead? Adds no weight, but does it mess up the screen quality a lot?
3) Any other cover or specific screen protector (there are many models) I should consider for my new G2?
Hope I can get some useful input from those who are experienced G2 users
Thanks in advance.
Regards

btw i don't use a screen protector (at least not yet)
but i can reccomend a Nekeda case (slim, gives better grip, doesn't ruin the sleek G2 design and it costs around 10$ on ebay)

Look Ma! Its @60nine
Appreciate your reply. I'm thinking a flip cover is "better" since it covers both the back and the screen?
Will keep looking, that Nekeda case looks really cool, but how about the flip cover?
Edit: I will drop the flip cover. Too many people say it scratches your display because of the metal. I will buy a screen protector and maybe also a Nekeda case.
Again, any specific screen protector I should go for?

There will be people who tell you to get a glass screen protector and other who won't. I have been told not to get one but that is just from my source. I have a screen protector from xtremeguard. They usually have pretty decent coupons. This screen protector covers everything except a little section by the camera, sensor and ear phone at the top of the phone. I am not sure how the Nekeda case fits. but I have the Spigen Slim Armour and the tech21 impact case, and both of them tend to push the screen protector up and cause some bubbles at the edge, which can be annoying but I just end up trying to push it back down. Hope that helps with your choice. There is a thread on glass screen protectors if you are interested in those.
Hey i'm using original window case with screen protector ..and until the moment 3 months no any scratches only camera glass has one light scratch but it comes from my zip pocket. If you are sick like me and dont wont any scratches i recomend this configuration.

Ive moved from a z3 compact and I had the same leather case for 2 years. Great quality and decent leather. Afte comparing lots of phone sizes I took a slight risk getting this iPhone6 plus sized one
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00NKFZYW6/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Only point is I slide my Z play in downwards so it's easier to grasp when pulling it out.
I like that pouch man. Super classy. How's the fit? Is it too tight or loose?
I was expecting it to be slightly too long as the iPhone6 plus is bigger but it's perfect. After having one for my old phone the pouch never gets loose enough for it to fall out. Prefer these cases to open ones so the screen is protected as well.
Looks good man. I may pick one up! It's perfect for the off hours... I also need something for work tho.. I work in an industrial setting and while I'd love to have the phone naked I need something hardcore in case I drop it. I've seen the Incipio ones, I may get one of those I guess... You'd think with the battery life this phone has it would have been a more popular model. But it seems like not too many people are picking it up
Had to order a Nillkin case of Aliexpress, as decent cases arent available yet on local sites.
Recently ordered mine shock proof case in Ali Express
-----------------------
-UPDATE-
This is the case: https://m.pt.aliexpress.com/item/32745245264.html
It hasn't arrived yet, but I think it's pretty neat, the phone seems to fit right into the case, so it doesn't make it that extra bulky, but it doesn't also fit a Mod back there.
I don't use a case. I use protector from the Gadgetshieldz. They act as my primary protection.
http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/moto-z-play-screen-protectors-covers-cases.html
didn't use case only screen protector
Ended up picking this one up for now. Protects the camera well has a decent lip over the screen for a slim case and it's a sticky kinda rubbery plastic so it won't fly out of my hands at work. It was also nice and cheap with prime shipping.

Are the leds in your flash of the same color/tone?
No they aren't. One is orange the other pale yellow...
Looks the same in the pics
You can see a slight difference in the first one. Color reproduction accuracy wasn't really a concern there haha
