Hello!
After droping my awesome phone on concrete and getting a cracked screen (ordered replacement+tools+custom sticker with double sided adhesive tape) i thought it would be good to get serious protection so I found this on aliexpress: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Dual..._9&btsid=eb99811d-23ea-49e1-b393-8c7a499fd83f
I am not sure if it's compatible with x800 - judging by the pictures it's not - but the seller assured me it is compatible. Maybe seller posted wrong photos - I hope!
Anyway I will get back on this to tell you all if it's OK.
In the mean time I found another one which seems to offer a decent level of protection (ordered it too): http://www.aliexpress.com/item/HC02..._9&btsid=18405c4f-0d4e-4585-b965-d67ca7d557e3
So fellow owners of x800.. take good care of your phones - they are very fragile.. the screen at least.
Later edit.. thanks to user nitalium for posting links with screen replacement. Those were very useful as I learned what to order and how to repair my phone.

No problem.,..i'm using transformers silicon rubber case now
https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/7803311499.html?orderId=76172324771634
..more protection even it is not suits well on screen after tempered glass applied but for the edge it does....
cheers...
Thanks guys, I myself was trying to find a more robust case than the available silicone ones... and haha, they still hasn't taken off "Le One Pro X800" from the first case suggestion
I am going for the transformer type, too, although the first one would have been more to my taste.
In China I have been using this metal frame. It is of very good quality, protects the phone properly, but the downside is that the GPS signal doesn't get through as well as without. Highly suggested, except for the GPS problem.
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.0.0.LFZ2iS&id=531410223896&_u=11seifcq44a8
Maybe you can find it on Aliexpress...
Surprisingly that oneplus one rugged armor tire pattern case suits very well for our Le 1 Pro..just the cons is
1)cannot use earphone if apply this case ( hole position is the same but not so deep)
2) have to press at the case a bit hard for volume & power button (just ignore it because we still can use vol up&down at settings & also double tap to wake up the screen)
3) rear camera hidden a bit but still can use
4) cannot use torch light & flash
Pros
1) can using IR blaster very well
2) shockproof case , protect your phone even u are not apply tempered glass (mine using it)
3) Speaker holes & charging port at a good position with this case (love it very much)
Now, i'm not so worried if my phone drop at the floor...cheers..
Where did u applied the double sided tape when you fixed your phone, on sides or wher?

What do you guys use / recommend for screen protectors and cleaners?
I use the protectors from ShieldZone. Nothing comes close.
I bought mine through a deal I found on Slickdeals (it's about to expire!)

i too would be interested in what you use, i.e. just the screen protector or the front and side protectors.
If you have used the front and side protectors could you describe what the coverage is like?
and i have heard that that brand makes it hard to use the stylis, have you had that experience as well?
hmm might have to post pictures of this one...
ordered today 2/2/08 with 50% off via slickdeals. I got them for my mogul and my Panasonic Toughbook cf-19. [bad ass they had one for it.] Cant wait to see if this product stands up to it's advertised quality.

so did you get just the screen protectors or the front and side covers as well? I would love to see close ups of the front and side protector. cant seem to find any info or pics of them anywhere.
i got just the screen protector... it is nice, but tricky to get on at first. i don't really notice it when using the stylus. in some light i see a orange peal like affect. since it took me about three tries to get it in position and all the air bubles out there it isn't perfectly clean on the unexposed side. but it works.
Just order it at brando. To my opinion the best there are. Ultra clear is the one I like the most.

Search for exim spuc or exim spoc on ebay. They're hard screen protectors that are residue free, and almost scratch-proof, stylus and pocket-wise thinking. (I don't think its as scratch proof as the invisible shield protectors, but isn't soft like a cushioning effect as with invisible shield) They also block out UV rays, making it easier on the eyes in direct sunlight. I've been using it ever since the first of my phone days (Sony Ericsson S700i, Nokia E60i, Nokia E61i, AT&T Tilt, HTC Tytn II, 2x Moguls)
One tip is to put it on in a dust free room...if dust gets on the application side of the protector, use some scotch tape to remove it. Works wonders.

How is the anti-glare in the sun? I am curious as I am looking for a new one.
Debating the clear vs anti-glare as I use my phone a good bit outside...
Any updates on any other screen protectors?
JavoScreen claims to be quite effective.
Here's a recent video shootout of leading screen protectors.
I don't recall which brand of antiglare screen I use; it was one of the most expensive ones, and comes with a camel's hair brush. In any event, it does the job EXCEPT in bright sunlight, when it's helpless. I'm thinking that a slip-on polarizer would be welcomed for bright sun.
best ive used
i think this is the same one i last bought, and its the best yet.
http://cgi.ebay.com/H009-3-Screen-P...ryZ20336QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
i have tried many, and this one is the best.
no bubbles, perfect fit, and dosnt screw up the screen when removed. i attached a scan of the packaging mine came in below
tought id chime in..
i have had the oem crappy flimsy one for a while now..
was going to buy 3 from ebay for $7 free shipping..
kept on forgetting to go and buy them.. so I walked into verizon... no sprint stores on my walk through philly.... and bought the blackberry universal kit... $10.66 with tax... tell you what.. they are nice and thick....
you can hold it at the corner and it will not bend!!!!
also has a grid for you to cut...
went on super easy.. 0 bubbles... none... and im loving it...

Has anyone used a tempered glass screen protector for this phone, I know it doesn't cover the whole screen, just wanted to know what people think about it. I've already ordered 3 pieces from different suppliers to see the differences, and whether it goes well on the phone.
id be interested to know if you get a good 1 cause ive bought the mobilefun version and it failed bad i got a full refund within 10mins of applying it. so cross that off your list lol

I have a few coming in during the next few day, I will try them out and give you some feedback, it's hard to use PET after many years of using a glass protector, so I have to try it out.
do you still have the protector, can you post a photo of it.
thanks
thanks, a good idea will be to provide some info on were u got em and i will have a look into getting some different ones and trying them out. right now ive bought "3x Vikuiti™ MySafeDisplay Screen Protector DQCT130 from 3M for Nokia Lumia 930" from "protectionfilms24" these work well enough but would love to have glass as ive got it on my other devices! thnx

once i'll posted the results, and if it's positive, i'll see if I can ask the supplier or shop to put some online.
Update
Apprently I received the 3 glass protectors today, and i'm completely disappointed with them, it seems like glass protectors are out, i'm using my old pet A.R.M station one now which seems to fit the best so far, apart from the sides about 3 mm, the whole of the surface is covered, may be i'll try something like invisible shield next.
There isn't point in posting photo's, it's a waste of time.:fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the experience anyways.
I'd also say get one with wet apply, if you live in europe Invisishields are by far the best I think, at least in Germany others like Skinomis are really expensive to ship. I got myself an Invisishield, and it's really good so far. It covers up the whole area, except for an extremely tiny part which is good since it doesn't get loose on the edges. The only thing I don't really like about it is the feel, it's a bit rubbery, but I guess that's due to the type and in normal use it doesn't really bother me.

I've actually used invisibleshield before, the rubbery surface will wear out, and it will discolour overtime, but it's our only option for better protection.
Off topic Q: have you used the official flip case CP-637, i'm interested in the green one to compliment my green phone, but thinking the green will get very dirty quickly, so do you think the black is a better option.
checking out a few screen protectors from ebay
invisble phone guard
front and back and sides USD 19
extreme guard
front and back USD 10
screenknight
front and back USD 14.50
not available from invisible shield.
they are all very cheap, do you know if they are all the same.
update:
I got the xtreme guard from their site, it was more expensive at USD 10.99, then shipping on top which was about USD 6, from ebay it's USD 10 with shipping, but found on the internet a 85% off discount, so I purchased 2 sets which adds upto USD 9.17.
good saving
I just cracked the screen on my note 4 [emoji47]. It is an extremely thin hairline crack that can't be felt by rubbing on the screen but can be felt by passing your nail over it. It's not really noticiable unless the screen is off. Since this is the first time this has ever happend to me im not quite sure what to do. I do have the JUMP! service which includes insurance but how much would i have to pay to get this cracked screen replaced through jump?
What should i do? [emoji22]
Dang, I'm hurting with you!
I think the Co pay is $150 they wouldn't repair it I think they will exchange it.
How did it happen?
It's 175 deductible unless it went up lately

According to Samsung advertising, you should be able to drop the Note 4 on a concrete slab from waist high a thousand times without a problem. You only dropped yours once - has to be defective! Check the video below.

I do have a case on it which i specifically bought with the fastest shipping option on amazon to never have my phone without a case. But it still cracked.. Must have been a tiny rock thats taller than the 7mm lip this case has. I had been looking for a glass screen protector since i purchased the case 2 weeks ago and couldn't find any with good reviews Unlucky me.
What do you guys think i should do? Should i file a claim and pay the $175 or should i wait it out until there are screen repair kits and fix it myself? Or do i have any other options?

If it doesn't bother you that bad, you could just wait until it spreads or gets to where it does bother you... Personally, I am obsessive about such things, so I would replace it using JUMP!... I have this as a screen protector - http://www.bodyguardz.com/screengua...-skins-films.html?dir=asc&order=sort_priority -, and different cases for different "outings" a thin Sammie-case, and an Otterbox Defender... Otterbox Defender only comes in black right now, but I HAD to get max protection RIGHT away... Instances like your's happen to us all after all... Anyway, the PURE Glass Protector is great feeling and very protective... I have used them on 3 devices thus far, and stick with them... They have a replacement program that gives you super discounts if you need to replace it also, instead of having to buy another (Advantage Program)... Anyway, hope these options will help... I know how much this new device being damaged must bother you, but the replacement you get will be well protected I am sure (plus, the protection is available now, where it wasn't, when we first received our devices)... You can have these items waiting on your next device, if you choose to!! Let me know if you find other alternatives worth exploring, these are just my favorite options as of now...

If it bugs you a lot, i'll file a claim. It's not easy to fix it yourself since most samsung phones the digitizer and LCD is glued together. Very hard to remove it separately if you're not experienced. If you prefer to do it yourself, it is best to order it as one piece but be prepared to pay a pretty penny which would guaranteed to exceed $175.
I feel for the OP. I just got my Note4 and the thought of cracking it's gorgeous screen scares me. Unfortunately I have to wait until I get paid to order a case for it. Until then I have a nice padded case for my Kindle Paper white that I can use.

Heres another option
ill buy the broken note 4 from you intstead. Haha
if you are serious about that you can pm me
I'd be heart broken if I already broke my screen!
Note 4 T-Mobile
i think i cracked mine too in the middle,right. Its small. And i have no idea how it happend. The phone never fell of my hands or hit it with something. Its a T mob N4, maybe the T Mob version its not the same quality as the N4 for europe?
Your phone it cracked because you or someone else has knowingly /unknowingly mishandled your phone.
If you say one doesn't notice it unless the screen is off, then it may not be that bad... BUT if it bother's much, the $175 deductable is the cheapest route in getting it fixed. Technically it'll be a replacement, so better than getting it fixed. They'll say its a refurb, but its new.

Consider yourself lucky man, with the s**t digitisers we had on the nexus 4 any crack in the glass above the screen would result in an unusable touch panel. I understand that cracked glass is never a good thing but at least you can still use the device!
I don't want to sound like a d**k but the purpose of Gorilla Glass 3 is scratch protection, not drop protection. Moto just released a shatterproof phone for that if I'm not wrong.
Hard glass on unprotected edges is always gonna break.

I don't like the black at all but that's what I have right now so I need to get used to it.
I hope I will be able to get along with the phone for one more year and then probably I'll replace it.
Right now he works really good.
It took the engineer to replace the broken screen with a new one about one hour and he always mumbled bad things about Motorola and how they build their phones.
He tried to put the back bamboo case to it's place and failed many times because the glue just won't work..
He told me to wait some time so the glue would get sticky to the phone itself.
Next time, I will buy a phone that have wider support in my country, make sure I have a flip case from the very beginning and make sure that you can unplug the battery from the phone.
That phone is awesome but has a quite long list of disadvantages...

Awesome that you could already have it serviced!
I see your point though, and I understand that in this thriving "free" market we can only choose the best compromise for our needs. I wouldn't buy a LG just for the removable battery and the repair support, but I can totally see why it looks like a viable choice for you right now.
As much as I like this phone, glue never looks like a good solution for pieces that are gonna be serviced sooner or later... As for the screen assembly, well, I guess every manufacturer now makes the digitiser and glass into one single part.
That being said, enjoy your moto and keep it for a while
Here's a very nice metal bumpercase I've bought at AliExpress. It looks outstanding, offers a decent protection level and the manucaturing quality is on a very high level. Signal quality is perfect like the manufacturer promises. The case is available in serveral color, black, gold, blue, etc. It is offered for a very reasonable price around 15€.

Especially for you. Added two pictures showing my device with one of your custom AOD backgrounds.

Do you have pics of your phone in the case rather than marketing images?
just wanna make sure your not advertising for them
The last time i used a Luphie case (similar to this) was on my Note 4 and it was terrible.
Looked great on my note 4!
but
1. effected signal badly
2. poor build quality (the lock mechanism was loose and only got looser as time went on)
3. the back glass cracked extremely easily, i didnt even drop it one day i took it out my pocket and it was cracked.
once it cracked it destroyed the only thing it had going for it (the looks) was dissapointed!
if they have fixed all these issues then it looks pretty nice

Looked great on my note 4!
but
1. effected signal badly
2. poor build quality (the lock mechanism was loose and only got looser as time went on)
3. the back glass cracked extremely easily, i didnt even drop it one day i took it out my pocket and it was cracked.
once it cracked it destroyed the only thing it had going for it (the looks) was dissapointed!
if they have fixed all these issues then it looks pretty nice

Sure i could take a picture of my phone within it. If you check my profile in the meantime you'll see that i'm not known for advertising here on XDA
And well, i've not posted a link to any special seller.

Added two pictures
And reception is great, no remarkable signal loss.
The case needed two weeks from china to germany. There are several sellers @ AliExpress selling it.

I like the way it looks but does it have the text (top and bottom) on the back like the pictures?
"Wireless Signal..."
"0.8MM Tempered..."

Yes, just have a look to the last two pictures, that is my Note 8.

I had started my reply before you had posted the pictures. When the phone is face down, does it sit on the phones screen or does the bumper case have a lip?
Thanks for adding those pics.

It has a lip, something like 0.5 mm. Maybe a little less.

On AliExpress
The Ebay seller ships from china too, i think.
How tight fit is this bumper and back glass? I had on the patchworks level ITG case on mine, dropped from a 3ft bathroom sink, landed in the corner and cracked the screen even with the tempered glass on! I could not use the phone for a week until I realized the display was separated from the gorilla glass panel so I pried it up so it can "glue" back. Thank god I got Square trade warranty.
I have yet to find a good case to protect it since. My guess was the more tight fit the case, there is less room for shock absorption so it goes straight to the phone itself.

Well the phone is not moving around within the case. But the inside of the aluminium frame and the metal frame of the tempered glass back are covered with a foam material. That's necessary to not scratch our Note 8 for sure and it should prevent the phone from being broken if it drops. Anyway this is not a hardcore drop survivor case like the UAG cases are, i think. I've already searched for a drop test, but wirhout success. There are some aluframe test, but not for one of these.
If the community donates me another Note 8 i'll try that for you guys for sure
The Mi Mix i have owned was covered by a Luphie metal bumper having the same material inside. It dropped once out of the carmount between seat and middle console onto the metal mount of the Recaros. Just a tiny mark on the metal frame, but nothing happened to the phone! The corner it dropped onto, perfect condition. Remember, the Mix is ceramic! These frames definitly offer a decent protection. It's for sure a high quality aluminium.

As you can see on the pictures of my phone (last two attached pictures), yes. The rebranded one Zizo offers has a Zizo Text and the bottom text. The top one is missing if i remember right. Well, if you don't like the writing, don't buy this case.
My mother droptested it for me in the meantime. From the wireless charger, around 75cm height, onto a wood floor. Well, everything fine, no scratches, simply zero damage.

Here's a very nice metal bumpercase I've bought at AliExpress. It looks outstanding, offers a decent protection level and the manucaturing quality is on a very high level. Signal quality is perfect like the manufacturer promises. The case is available in serveral color, black, gold, blue, etc. It is offered for a very reasonable price around 15€.
@Mr.Ash.Man
Especially for you. Added two pictures showing my device with one of your custom AOD backgrounds.

Nice case! Just cancelled mine after heaeing feedbacks on the GPS glitch when used with this case on. I wonder if you've experienced that? Especially, when inside the car?
