[Q] Focus Screen Protector Recommendations

Would like to go with the Lexerd but only the Anti-glare version is available on Amazon... any idea when the Crystal Clear version is available?
There is the one made by Amzer; yet reviews are not great. Any other options?

ATT is selling full body (front and back only) screen protectors from InvisibleShield.

But Zagg doesn't list them as available on their web site yet. I'm not as interested in a screen protector as I am having Zagg cover the back of my phone. Their product is great. I like the gripping feel of it. The screen of the focus is Gorilla Glass so that why I'm not going to cover it.

Do you have a reference link to the Focus being built with Gorilla Glass?

Att has a zagg shield thats a dry install and is pretty nice. Its not as grippy as the wet but feel similar.

I installed the InvisibleShield on my Focus. I really like the matte finish on the back. I took it to the booth in the mall and had the invisibleshield guy install it for me for free (usually like $7, i think.) Just FYI, it may be a dry protector, but you can still install it as if it were wet.

No one would be happier than I if that is true.
However, I am suspicious that the tweet is the only reference to it.

This came straight from the Corning webpage:
"Corning’s Gorilla glass has been designed into more than 240 models by 24 major brands. Due to customer agreements the following list is only a sampling."
They could just be slow at updating their site... at least lets hope so lol.

That would be a great surprise. I've hated screen protectors since the first Palm.

I like it, I'm just not sure that I *trust* it . I've got several buddies with iPhone 4, at least 3 of whom have scratches on their screens

Scratch
Well then I have a defective screen because I have a scratch

I'd feel better with a protector on it myself.
I was looking at the Skinomi. Has anyone used them before? Most of the reviews on other phones seem mostly positive. They have both a screen protector and a full body protector.

Mine should be here any day now. I got the full phone covering. I'll report back...

Zagg is now supporting the Focus...
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
I've used Zagg on my last 2 phones and highly recommend it. It is really great stuff. You can argue that you don't need this with the Focus screen, but if you still want one, I would go with Zagg. The most important thing is to follow the installation instructions exactly.
My recommendation is NOT buy the Full Body coverage... just get the Screen Coverage. Get a nice case instead. Zagg can (not always) start peeling very slightly on the edges from repeated rubbing with your hand. I've seen this happen on 2 of my friends phones who had full body coverage. The good thing is, Zagg will send you out a new one free, no questions asked (you do have to pay shipping though). They are pretty good about it. Also, if you don't like it, it is removable.

I went ahead and ordered the Zagg. 14.99 isn't bad even with the 2.99 shipping. I don't feel comfortable until I get something to protect this screen.

I got the Skinomi. I followed the instructions and still ended up with a lot of bubbles\wrinkles. Also I'm not sure that the "full body" skin is even needed. I certainly can't see how the side pieces are supposed to fit around the buttons and headphone jack anyway.
I give this product a huge thumbs down. A waste of $20.

Thank you for the heads up. I ordered the Invisibleshield instead. Hopefully, this will fit the bill.

Note II Full Cover Screen Guards

For all those who are looking for a full cover screen guard for your new beast try the ones below.I prefer them because they provide protection without spoiling the sexiness of the device.. Especially dedicated for those who don't like to use covers:fingers-crossed:

this is priced modest 3.99$, best bang for the buck.
can also be bought from www.xtremeguard.com
And for those want premium protection
ZAGG invisibleSHIELD™
No images are there in the site but they costs 24.99$ for all round protection.
Skinomi TechSkin™
these costs 19.95$
and offers good protection.
BodyGuardz UltraTough® Clear Skins
they costs $24.95 though provides precision cutting and quality and also two full sets are given.
PhantomSkinz
They also costs the same 24.95$ reviews yet to be seen...
i am also waiting for other manufacturers such as bestskinsever to roll out. Note 2 lovers please post your suggestions and user reviews of full cover screen guardsalso from other manufacturers so that i can add it to OP:good::victory:

Halleluja! ZAGG has done it again Last week i was looking at there Site withour success but at least they finally brought out there Shield for my loved Note2! It's as good as ordered Thanks for the hint!

Just on the screen protection part. In my experience the Xtremeguard quality was less than stellar. I've tried a few wet application urethane manufacturers and found the Xoskins were excellent with good customer support, but they are more expensive.

Skinomi body protection looks decent, I havent tried any of those on any devices, but which one u guys recommend?

I did acknowledge that, but my point stands, I've had full body from Xtremeguards (various products) and I wouldn't buy from them again. Too many faults, poor fit, indents/marks/creases on protector, black dot contamination, guards fused together, leaking bottles in shipping and trimming slivers on edges. To name what I can remember off hand.

Bodyguardz have also released a duo pack. €25 for 2 complete body shields. They are very mich like zagg. I used their skin for my ipad 3. No complains!!

Thanks for the info, i am out of thanks today...

I'm thinking, why cover the back? If I scratch it 'that' badly, I'll buy a new back. Maybe even a new color for fun!
I'll probably get a screen protector. I had a Steinheil Crystal Clear on my OG EVO for over a year. When I removed the protector, it was still clear. I can't say that about the previous screen protector, which was yellowed after 1+ years of use.

Maybe you could buy a new back cover, but original ones with nfc should be expensive....
And always the chances are that you aint gonna it that bad are slim and when you admire the beast that small scratch would really be hurting...

I'm not a big fan of these on the Note or Note 2. The pen isn't as precise...
I used to use these skins though on my non touchscreen phones in the past.

Review of Military Shockproof Case for HTC M8

I got it with a code with amazon prime , so it came pretty quite as we always can have from amazon .
This is a decent alternative to some of the Otterbox cases. It reminds me a lot of the Defender series but cost only 9 dollars , even it is not exactly works as better as otter box
The outer shell is a nice shock resistant material. You shouldn't have to worry if you drop your phone if it's wrapped in this.The inner silicone is a little bit soft , which will absorb the impact , but it might be not as snag as you want ,all in all it is acceptable totally .
The buttons work really well when you have it in this case. They line up nicely and work with little effort.
The port cover is okay. It's nothing great. It's not a tight fit like the otter box it. Overall, it's better than nothing.
I'd be happier using a case with a screen protector
For the money. This is a great little cast that will protect your phone.
A good solid phone case, a few minor issues keep it from being a great phone case. Case did require a minor modification to allow the gesture and double tap wake up/screen unlock to work properly on the m8. There was a little piece of the cases screen protector that covered the light sensor, once cut off from the inside of the case with an exacto knife the gesture function worked flawlessly.
Pros
Much easier to hold onto than the slick finish of the m8
Makes it easier to press the side and top buttons
Case has a rugged feel to it
Looks awesome on the phone
Belt Clip is so handy
Cons
Does add a little bulk to the phone, mostly to the thickness
Very slightly alters the sound of the phones speakers,not very noticeable, but I am an audiophile
.
Overall I would recommend this case to a friend.
I am not associated with any company , my reviews are based on my personal experiences
For this case , i got it from amazon ,at http://www.amazon.com/Ashiled-All-N...TF8&qid=1420378820&sr=1-1&keywords=ashield+M8
Please give me thanks , if you like me ,thank you for your reviews

can you add a few photos?? it will be nice to see how it looks actually. brand photos are always hard to dislike

Is there a built in screen protector? If not, how does it affect the speakers? EDIT: Never mind. But does it look like it'd be easy to remove the screen protector?

Cases that are supposed to protect the camera

This is important because the camera is raised and might be easily scratched.
Please add links in replies (and if you have received the case, a review)
Cimo heavy duty, Amazon ("Raised bezels protect screen and camera from surface contact")
Nillken TPU case, ebay looks like raised circle around camera

amazon.co.uk/dp/B01LEQTIOM/ref=pe_1909131_77697121_tnp_email_TE_AMZLdp_2 I received this case a few days ago, it has the all important raised ring around the camera, feels pretty durable without adding much bulk, certainly better than the 99p eBay cases I've bought for phone's in the past. It fits very tightly too which I'm happy with but could prove a bit annoying if you're planning to be removing it a lot to use Moto mods. It also has a cutout where the pins are for the Moto mods although I'm not sure what the point in this is seeing as they don't fit on top of it, all in all though I'm very happy with it, I got it in gold to match the metal sides and I don't think it looks too tacky either.

The bump was little big than the normal. Does the case helps to protect the bump??

Nillikin case has a hump to cover the camera completely

I got this a few days ago. Fits well, and has a little bump for the camera to keep it elevated slightly. Working great so far.

Hi there, I'm currently using one on my Moto Z. Check out the link below for the review.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/accessories/review-nillkin-frosted-shield-t3488773

To add to this, I've got a IVSO slim hard shell case (which I think is the same as the Nillken) that fits very well, is nice and grippy and has a raised lip to protect the camera
Button cutouts are fine too

Looks nice but unless I'm wrong that doesn't protect the camera at all.

I'm extremely surprised and pleased with the quality and presentation of this case. Plus it comes with 2. Highly recommended!

Tech21 Cases

Tech21 doesn't seem to get a lot of attention in this group. I'm just wondering what everyone thinks. I have an Evo Check for my phone and it is a great case. Fits well and seems like it would protect the phone. Still, I also want a folio type case, to protect the screen. Tech21 has this case: https://www.tech21.com/en_us/evo-wallet-galaxy-note8-black
Does anyone have any experience with it that would tell me whether it would be a good or bad purchase?

Their cases are too slippery and they make so few cases for the Note 8 I over look them. Quality is crap for how much they cost

Yes, they are quite expensive.

I hope this information helps. I also wanted a folio type case to protect the cover as all the screen protectors seem to be pretty lacking. I went with my wife to the T-Mobile store where she wanted to get an S8 Plus and this case that you picked out was close to what she got. Was given a drop test by the cashier using his own phone. The packaging was pretty plain and I wasn't that impressed but wanted to get in and out and we got it. After checking it out after she had it a few weeks I went ahead and ordered the one that you pasted a link for above. Honestly I recommend it. Pretty sturdy and thin but protects the phone quite nicely. has a clip clasp and obviously covers the front. Not bulky but not skimpy either... My fourth case for the note lol and this one is a keeper.. Go for it.

I use the Tech21 EVO as it fits with the Dome Glass protector I have. This is my first Tech21 case but the version I got is not slippery at all due to the back.

Looked into that. Its a nice case, but that clasp needs to be magnetic or something, I found the plastic push-in clasp to be cumbersome to open and close quickly.

My s5 it has a tech 21 case has 3 years old and it fel so many times. It is an impressive piece of engenering, just the sound it makes when it its the floor...it sounds muted like it is made from ruber.
Off course i would get a tech 21 for my note 8, choose the evo wallet because ...such a big screen ...
It is very expensive.
they are not slepery unless one has spider hands!
I wish they made a case that completly isolates the phone, and another one so that i can put the phone on my bikes like rokform does.
I am very happy with my evo!
