Hi Guys,
SGP sent me out a package with a couple of their Nexus S products which I'll be reviewing in the coming days (with the mugen power batteries to follow!). Today I've got the Ultra optics, which is a 2-set of anti-fingerprint screen protectors. These are SUPER easy to apply (I've demonstrated this in the video) and the finish on them is fantastic. They are smooth to the touch and protect from both scratches and fingerprints. I cannot stress how much I love this product.
Check out the video review for more:
Thanks,
Gianpy
loved to get my hands on them thanks for the vid!
I ordered one today after looking at your review! Just one question though.
When you took the protector off from the sheet, if you hold it like it, would your fingerprint get on the sticky side?
Thanks!

Yeah your fingerprint would most likely get onto it, I'm not 100% sure but I wouldn't try it
Like you saw in the video it's super easy to install so you shouldn't have a problem
Nice video as always!
This is amazing. I applied one today. Easiest screen protector ever to install.
It looks pretty bright even on lowest brightness.
Coming from Zagg, I would say this has 100x (exaggerating, yes!) better touch response but there is certainly big jump. This works great.
Thanks!
I noticed that International shipping specially to Asia is much cheaper on their ebay page vis a vis the SGP site.
Great review. Do you have any review for skins?
Just got my new tab, and thought i'd stick on a screen protector, and having had some crummy screen protector experiances in the past ordered the official ones from amazon.
It went on very easily, and was simple to smooth out the bubbles, looks very clear, and has a nice square cut out for the camera and light sensor.
Was also a tiny bit smaller than the glass so was easy to centre.
Looking at the amazon reviews i'd say some of the marketplace people are selling repackaged cheap ones, but this one is very good.
Hey Z3TC owners! I recently picked up the Official Sony case for my Z3TC on amazon so I thought I'd do a detailed review due to the lack of them on the web. This is more of a first impressions. Type review.
Originally I purchased I purchased the IVSO case (click for link) from amazon but the Black color was not eligible for Amazon prime and Its been like 2 weeks and I still have not received the case! Hopefully it will arrive over the next couple days. I will post a review for that case when it does come. Of course 3 days later that case was eligible from Prime and they had stock in US warehouses
Yesterday while updating my amazon wish list for the holidays i noticed the SCR28 was available on prime from This vendor with free overnight shipping!! I snagged it quickly as there were only 6 available. *edit* this item is no longer available on prime
Here are my initial thoughts on this case:
1. The case has a Very slim profile. It is a Leathery yet soft-to-touch material. It is a much higher quality than the universal 8" flip cases available at best buy and local stores. The tablet is held in place by a plastic frame which fits the tablet very snug and has cut outs for all ports and buttons. In fact, the Frame was so snug it was kinda hard to snap the tablet back out. I also use a tempered glass (0.3mm) screen protector and it works fine with it.
2. The Inside of the flap is made out of a Textured Rubberized material(images D1). There is a small grove in the front flap that is the size of the tablet. When you put the tablet into the Standing position into that groove the tablet stands at 120. (See image B1 & B2) This case is also compatible with Sony magnetic chargers/docks (image C1)
There are 2 reasons why this textured material is nice
-It makes it so that you can position your tablet at other angles and it still maintains a good enough grip for your tablet not to slide around.
-When you fold the flap back it offers extra grip on your tablet so that your not holding on to the smooth leather part or slippery metal part of your tablet.]
This is one of my favorite features.
Unfortunately when folded all the way back it does cover the camera cutout. However the case folds all the way around where you don't necessarily have to leave the flap hanging down. (See image A1 & A2)
3. Theres no strap or magnet to keep the cover down but when i set it on a table it pretty much stays closed all the way and doesn't open on its on. Also the smart open/close feature is a welcomed addition to the case.
Summary
Overall The build quality is very nice and compliments the design language of this device very well. (some people may argue that at $40 USD it should be much nicer, but from whats available I think its very well built) We will see how this holds up to the generic one I Will be recieving. It is a very functional case that adds little bulk to it. However, if you are looking for something more "protective" this is probably not the case for you.

I got mine on Amazon, white case to match my tablet. I love this case...it feels really nice to the touch. The quality is worth the $40 price. I Highly recommend. :good:
How sturdy is the tablet when propped up with this case?

When its propped up @ 120 degree angle, where the cutout for it is. Its sturdy enough to not have to much movement when used on a flat surface. Much better than the cases where the front flap folds into 3 to prop it up.
I really like the case as well. I am a little worried about the white case... Seems like it will get dirty real quickly but that's the case for all white cases.
You can also charge on the dock with this case on.

Its a leathery material (not 100% sure if its genuine leathee or pleather) it feels *kinda* similar to the back of the z2 tab but this blackone doesnt seem to attract finger prints. Ive never been a fan of white cases cuz they age faster and turn gray! If u end up going with it please share pics!
Got mine today great case super quality and don't add no bulk to tablet thanks.

Where did you find the white case for sale? Since I have the white Z3TC i was looking for the white one as well. Sony US doesn't have any accessories for the Z3TC yet.
You even quoted where he purchased it Amazon.com

I got it on Amazon, a third-party seller. Here is the link to the seller's page. It ships from Hong Kong, but it was a relatively fast ship.
Sony Scr-28 Cover and Stand for XperiaTM Z3 Tablet Compact Scr-28 White
Edit: Now it is fulfilled by Amazon...bonus!
Looks like it's prime eligible too!
As far as I see from your photos, SCR28 doesn't have cut outs for magnetic charger.
So magnetic chargher can be used only with the cover open ?
I wonder if anybody had the chance to compare Sony SCR28 with MoKo Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Case - Ultra Slim Lightweight Smart (also find on Amazon)
I think these two cases are the best option for our tablet but I'm not sure if the build quality of the MoKo cover is the same as the Sony SCR28.
Tempered Glass for Z3TC
mrgizmoe, thanks for putting this information up, truly appreciate it. I would like to know if you could share where you got the tempered glass for the Z3TC and how well it works with the tablet. Once again, really appreciate the information you put out here for us. My Z3TC should arrive this week, and I'm super excited.
Thanks!!
Mike
Thanks for the photos! Can you post a photo also of the tablet with the flap folded all the way back? Am seriously considering getting this too.

Correct, I dont have the dock myself but the back cover needs to be folder back or put over the dock. However I've seen the MoKo case for an iPad and the build quality to me is not as "premium" feeling. But in terms of durability I'd say on par with eachother.

I got these 2 on amazon
VSTN
IVSO
One is for back up. Im currently using the VSTN one. Its very thin and comparable to the Nillkin tempered glass I have on my z2 Phone. Basically edge to edge. However there is one review that says its not made out of glass and its plastic. The one i received wasn't as bendy as this persons review shows & it feels like glass to me!

Are you using the controller mount with the case?
I got this case for free when I bought my XZ3TC and I'm very happy with it. Soft touch, nice grip. Premium feeling.
The only disavantage I found it's that you have to open it in order to use the magnetic charger as I never open the flaps.
I got the 32 GB black model and decided to try the white case. After three weeks the case is as clean as the first day.

Talking about screen protectores, cases, cables, adapters, anything .
I'm kinda waiting for Zagg or any other high quality company to start selling stuff for the Nexus 5X.
Ordered a Cruzerlite case and spigen tempered glass screen protector
I just ordered the spigen tempered glass protector, but I am getting one of the adopted cases from the Google store.
I ordered the case from the play store. The black one. Not sure the name but it looks like its fuzzy on the back. Also a usb-c to usb-a wire from play store for $12.99. Still thinking about screen protector. What's the consensus? Is it gonna lay flat or what? Lol. I haaate the nexus 6 situation with the halo effect.
I didn't hear any mention of a curved screen so it should be fine
Are the tempered glass protectors that much better? I've never used one, always just gone with the sticky film type screen protectors, but wouldn't mind trying something new.

Would also love to hear an answer for this, I always go bare-glass, but I'm ready to be told that my ways are wrong.
I'll never go without tempered glass.. My phone has fallen face first a few times and it broke the tempered glass screen protector and the screen underneath was perfect still
Anybody hear of any good body wraps that are clear. I just need protection without hiding the phone. I kind of don't want to cover this phone up with a case

Ordered a case and USB C to A cable set, combined price of $28.98 for four cables and a .5mm TPU case. check Amazon for these:
- Orzly® Multi-Colour Value Pack of USB 2.0 Type C (USB-C) to Type A (USB-A) Cables
- Nexus 5X Case, Nexus 5 2nd Gen Case, REDShield® [Clear] Slim & Flexible Anti-shock Crystal Silicone TPU Skin Protective Cover for Google Nexus 5X /Nexus 5 2nd Gen 2015
Not sure about the case though... anyone used REDShield ones before?

If you're not careful with your phone (or just have bad luck) then glass is the way to go. The glass protectors are 9H, so really scratch resistant. I'll be going bare since there will be no ridges when gliding my finger across the edges of the screen

Same here. Plus, they feel silky smooth compared to a film.
I've never used tempered glass, do they cause problems with any cases, like the thin TPU variety?

I've used tempered glass on my G3 and M9 both with TPU cases. No issues here.
I will be getting one for my 5X when it arrives.
Some USB-C to USB-A cables and a screen protector.
No case, I prefer "nearly naked" - so I'm going to wait for somebody to put out a good quality skin. I have a black leather skin from Slickwraps on my Nexus 5, I think I'll go the same way with the N5x.
I tried a tempered glass screen protector on the N5 earlier this year, and it cracked after about a month. Same thing happened to a tempered glass protector I had on my Nikon camera. No tempered glass for me.

The Qualcomm Quick charge spec is only for Micro USB connector based chargers.
The USB 3.1 Type-C spec includes it's own charging standards, to get the fastest charging we are going to need native Type-C charger. The ones on the Play Store, obviously should be fine. Otherwise I would be very wary of anything that doesn't have a Type-C port on the charger. Even with that most of the third party chargers probably don't conform to the entire Type-C spec yet.
I have not seen a car charger yet that I have any sort of confidence in providing fast charge capability.
