first issue on build quality(?) i've seen. the ridges are there to protect the phone's glass (front and back) when it's lying on a flat surface.

I just did the whole proccess.
The whole thing doesn't cover the active screen fully. There is a thin uncovered part on the edges.
All around the protector I have a "lifted" frame that doesn't even touch the screen. Dirt and fiber will probably get stuck in there over time...
Also the camera glass protector is made out of a pretty non-smooth glass.. I can't even clean it with a cloth without leaving residue behind.
IS IT JUST ME?
Why is it so low quality??
I have one and the actual screen part is fully covered. Also, My protector is ever so slight;y lifted but not much. My camera protector is good as well.
I bought mine on ebay for under $10. Maybe they have quality control issues?
I have bought also Nillkin 9H protector and it fits as it should because it is made so it covers only the flat part of the screen.
Edges of the screen are rounded as you have noticed and protector can not fit on top of them , I know this because I had protector that was covering whole screen and it was not good believe me.
Full coverage screen protectors are not good for two reasons:
1. beneath the protector where are the edges dust collects and because there is very small gap you can not clean it. (looks horrible)
2. because protector is not in contact with rounded edges of the screen it will crack in 99% when it falls. (This is based on my personal experience)
So do not worry you'll get used to it and appreciate the benefits.
Can somebody please take a picture of how much gap there is to the edge of the screen for Nillkin? I have a noname screen 9H protector and considering switching to Nillkin if it has less edge gap.
Guys, does the z3 compact has any anti shatter film or the film thingy after the front glass? Becuase i noticed my front glass has a small stragiht line about half an inch from the side of the screen. Its just like a crack and when i use my nails it feels its somehow cracked. So im wondering if its a film cover that has been scratched on top of the glass or is it already the glass.
as far as I know it doesn't have a film no... So it's probably a scratch on the glass itself :-/
Hate to resurrect an old thread, but Xperia Z3s do have a plastic anti-shutter film. I bought a device with a cracked screen. The crack was so small that I thought it was on the film. So, I removed it, but the crack was underneath,. By the way, unlike on Z1 and Z2, Z3 screen film leaves a horrible glue residue that CANNOT be removed by alcohol or any other glue thinner: tried them all. Since I didn't need the original screen, I tried to scrub some spots with a scalpel. It worked without damaging the original glass, but to clean the entire screen would take the whole day. So, thank you, Sony, again... for making a glass screen covered with cheap plastic.
I bought an after-market display: I didn't use generic sticky, but instead applied B7000 adhesive glue. I bought a bottle with a fine metal tip; put a thin layer of glue on the frame; let it sit for 2 minutes, and then set the screen applying little pressure. After that, I put the phone under about 20 pounds of book weight and let it sit overnight. I am not sure about waterproofing, but it looks and feels like the screen has become a part of the frame: no movement, no squeaking at all...
NOTE: I received this at a discount in exchange for reviewing it.
Also NOTE: This is an outstanding case and the first fully protective case where I have given it five out of five stars on Amazon as well as here.
Please see the photos. Wireless charging works well with this case on. The phone is fully protected, front back and the sides - with this case. The only con I can find about this case is - which is not even a con - is that the two piece fit together so well that when it arrived with no instructions on how to pull it apart to insert the phone, that it is puzzling at first how to do so! DO NOT do like I did which it to try to pry the pieces apart with a knife on the front to try to open it - fortunately I did not scrape the case but soon discovered that the rubber lip on the front around the edges can be pulled back, and that is how to get the front of the case away from the back.
The pieces fit together with very tight tolerances. You first put the phone into the front of the case (and use no screen protector because one is included as part of the front of the case) - and it snaps on nice and tightly. Then you push the flexible heavy rubber-life back onto the front. When you are holding the phone case with the front facing you, and feel along the back edges on the sides of the phone, when you run your fingers up and down those edges they may feel lumpy. If you just push those lumps in then you will feel them snap into place and flatten out - this case fits the phone very well.
One thing I like in particular about this case is the raised lip around the front edge of the phone is raised higher than you will find on most other protective cases, without seeming like it is too fat around the edges of the phone. Additionally, the lip is raised less down near the home button on the phone so that there is no issue with people with large fingers trying to get the fingerprint reader to work well - another good design consideration included with this unit.
The back of the phone's hard plastic surfaces are matte so it is not at all a 'fingerprint magnet'. The indentation for the camera lens has walls that are reflective and slanted so the lens would never be obstructed by the case and there would never be any kind of shadowing affect. On the back of the phone case there are also small fake 'screw heads' that stick up and are in fact made of the heavy rubber material - and they do a good job of actually acting like nice rubber 'feet' on the back of the phone so that it will not slip when put onto a slanted surface. Although the corners and edges of the phone are made of this material, the case is still not too bulky - and not too slip resistant - to stop you from being able to slip it easily into your pocket.
The bottom edge has plugs which only cover the ports which the case designer feels would be used less often - the headphone jack and the charging port. The speaker grille is of course left uncovered and the S-Pen is actually easily accessible - the case is designed so that corner of the phone is still protected from falls, while the S-Pen is still easily reachable, which shows how well the phone case is designed. The only other case I have reviewed which had better plugs is one with plugs slightly larger than the hole with extra ridges on the side of the plug, so that it would still stay in the hole even after being pulled out hundreds of times - that is not the case here, but these plugs still fit pretty tightly and the only way to test if these would stand up to long term daily abuse is to test that for many months of wear and tear. However, I do not think that would be a problem with this phone.
To help with the grip a little better, which may be unnecessary due to the material used in this case anyway, the sides have raised ridges sticking out all the way up and down both sides of the phone. The buttons work very will and do not work so well that they would be pushed in by mistake. Additionally the buttons are easy to find by feel without looking - but in fact they still do not stick out so they would never catch on anything either!
As far as a protective rubber case for the Note 5, this one would be my top choice! Outstanding job Artech 21!
Looks like a great case, similar to the otterbox defender. Two questions? Does Tech 21 have a lifetime warranty for this case (like otterbox) and does the slot where the home button is allow too much dust in?
I am not sure about the warranty. With regards to the slot where the home button was, I only took that photo to show it was ever so slightly misaligned but forgot to mention it. I don't think any dust would get in there...
There seems to be no shortage of front protectors that are curved, but are there any front and back/full-body glass covers? Preferably having the camera bump receded.
I wanna hold my galaxy device without a case, but I also have a heart attack everytime it slipps from my hand onto a surface harder than a pillow. There are no cracks yet, but there are certianly marks that wont rub away. And the case I have isn't to my tastes.
Any glass-solutions for protection that cover the phone without removing it's front and back aesthetics?
What tempered glass is everyone using for the V60? I don't use the Dual Screen, so I just need it to cover the phone screen.
Dmax glass was the thinnest glass screen protector I have ever seen for any phone I've put glass on ever.
Came in a pack of two. I chipped and cracked the edge of one with my fingernail simply taking the film off to install it. The second cracked in a couple days later from setting the phone down too hard I guess.
LK glass had poor adhesion. Large air bubbles on the edges of the screen. Bad enough I took it off after a month to try a diffrent brand. Noticed the sticky part of the glass felt subpar after uninstall.
Now using Zagg glass and its okay. Doable for now. However a thin ring shaped air bubble is present on the Zagg around the edges of the screen. It's thin and even, and can't be seen when the screen is on. When off it looks like its gonna start peeling up at the edges.
The issue I had with glass is that its too thick to close the cover if you have one on the phone and one on the sexind screen
AmFilm is what I put on the phone today. Came in a pack of three. Probably the best protector I've tried yet.
Thicker glass, might be a true 0.3mm. No bubbles or rings near the edges. Sticks very well, good adhesive.
Touch is good and looks are good with the screen off or on.
However, AmFilm is slightly (1mm?) shorter and narrower than the Zagg glass.
The Zagg glass was 0.26-0.23mm thick and covered more screen surface. The Zagg covers more screen surface than LK, DMax, or AmFilm.
However, the Zagg never adhered to the screen edges completely resulting in a white ring air pocket along the outer edges of the protector.
The Zagg glass was stuck to the screen very well when I removed it. The outer air pocket never did grow in size, was very narrow, just annoyed me to look at when the screen was off.
Overall the Zagg was a good option, but maybe not for those like me that value good looks as highly as I do.
The DMax Armor glass I tried was so thin, it might be an option for the dual screen case. DMax could have been 0.15mm thick possibly. Really similar to the Baseus ultra thin glass.
It's very fragile stuff as noted above, but again DMax might be as thick as double overlapped film protectors.
For those looking at a good protector here is the link for what I am using. Installs with ease, no bubbles and halos.
