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...
Hi.
I was wondering if anyone have tried the official HTC double dip case(hard shell) with a full body protector for the m7 like this one
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BI3NL0E?pc_redir=1406928374&robot_redir=1
Since the double dip case scratches the phone. I was wondering if the full body protector prevent scratches and does the protector fit in the case or does it pill off.
Thanks

I put an xtremeguard on the back of my one in April of 2013 and it's still on their. I use an otterbox commuter over it and the phone still looks new. I prefer the HI-DEF Screen Protector they sell on the front.

I am using the official double dip case. It scratched my phone very lightly near the top speaker, probably some dirt inside when removing/installing the case. Phone still looks like new, but the case itself looks really bad now:laugh:. a matte finish isnt ideal for a case.... especially if your job require you to use greases and oil lol

Glass protectors on S6E is not fit very well and reduce responsiveness. I recommend to find a plastic protector with oleophobic coating.
Yeah thanks but what do you think about this on the link?? Can i put 2 plastic screen protectors will the digitizer work, touch responsivness? And if you know some screen protetor brands i dont want the flat only part i want to cover the edges
One more question
How does the plastic one protect phone? Just from scratches or and cracks?

Plastic films protect the screen from minor scratches. You should aware genuine Samsung clear view covers scratching the phone which they are supposed to protect. I don't think tempered glass can protect dropped phone. To me, the advantage of tempered glass is its feeling being the same with phone screen because they are all glass, so easy to swipe. I bought this link and happy with it (located in Australia). I purchased several temper glasses and plastic films but each has its limit. The one I recommend to you is perfectly fit, responsive and fluid. However, its oleophobic layer doesn't work very well.

I'm not sure about that, it may not be fluid/smooth when you swipe.
Hi All,
My preferred phone protection is to have a tempered glass screen protector and silicone case. Saved my old phone from bad damage a couple times while bouncing on the street.
Now... the challenge I have with the P9000 is that the silicone case that came with the phone doesn't go 'over' the edges of the tempered glass protector and pushes it off.
rather annoying!
Ordered some other silicone cases on Aliexpress but the same problem.
Anybody found a nice case that does the trick? Tried 'heat stretching' the case a bit for a better fit but no luck so far.
thanks!

yup same problem. i cut the case a bit and now it dont look nice . but it works.
Hi.
My problem was that one corner of the glass doesn't stick to the LCD. After I applied the silikoncase it fits.
I have the case that come with the phone.
I stretched it a little bit over the corners of the phones without heat.
Greetings

Had the same issue what you need to do is force phone by slotting it into case then pull the lip over the screen protector. Do this to all corners and you'll have no issues.

Congrats on having it fixed without any drastic measures! I went the 'cutting route' for now since I had to replace the screen protector and didn't want to risk another one.
But I've got another set of silicone cases coming from aliexpress to check if they are a bit better!
I've got 2 P9000's (one for me one for my girlfriend) so actually I already wrecked 2 screen protectors.
Same problem here. Original case and aliexpress case. No luck.
i bought the official flip case and tempered glass.
tried the case first which fit but found the buttons a bit hard to press.
if you fold the case front behind the phone the camera is blocked also.
could view the on screen clock and notifications through the case screen window.
once applied the tempered glass the phone wouldn't recognize the flip case, so when i closed it over the screen remained on and the case window became useless.
this company do nothing right do they.
Had to struggle the same problem, but now i could fix it.
Just make sure the glass is positioned in centre on the screen. When putting on the case, make sure the case slips properly over the first 3 corners. For the last one, you can use any tool (i a used knife, but be careful ) to overlap the edge of the silicon case with the tempered glass.
No matter what I did, it wouldn't do it without lifting the glass

I have the same issue (sometimes) with matte film protectors and the standard case.
Always on the top right corner for me - where I've got fractionally less unprotected screen , so maybe very precise alignment of the screen protector would help you?
Pulling the case over the edge of the screen with my fingernails was enough for me
Cut the flip in the flip-case.

Cut the flip in the flip-case. Just kepping the hard back. This way you can use the glass and have back protection. I did this and works fine.
I use this glass protector - http://www.ebay.com/itm/282044598237?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
there is a space between the silicon case and the glass so they don't touch each other

The hard back in the flip case is useless. Too fragile, corners and button covers break easily, my P9000 fell just once not too hard and the screen left upper corner broke. Silicone cover is better protection
u can use scotch tape on the bottom corners of the glass to stop it from lifting, funny idea but works, if u want to save a new case cost.
Any that are good from Amazon?
Yea I need to know too cause OnePlus keep going in and out of stock to fast ?
Me 3. I'm looking for one that has adhesive on the whole screen, not just the bezels; and also doesn't cover any of the screen like oneplus tgsp does.
