Hi
I scratched the shatter proof screen protector (badly, i hit the screen with the tip of a USB cable and it made a really deep scratch)
I'm kind of obsessive with the phone's screen so I'm planning to remove the shatter proof protector from my Xperia T and place a new one but I'm not sure about wich one is better
Clear protectors promise high transparency but matte ones promise anti dust + anti finger prints
It would be nice to get rid easier from dust and finger prints, but I'm not sure about how will the image be afected. Does anyone know if matte protectors mess with the image in any way? Wich one would you recommend?
Thanks for taking time to read my question, I hope you can help me
Also, I've read that the Xperia Z and some new models come with the Sony logo printed on the screen protector instead of the glass, are the new models of Xperia T like that, too?
Get the clear. Matte will not only noticeably reduce screen quality, but'll also mess with your eyes and mind >.<
I'd recommend a matte screenprotector. I had a clear one, but after a while there started to show some scratches. After bought a matte one, I noticed that the image on the screen wasn't affected that much. Also, your finger slides more easily over the screen when using a matte one, so I recommend a matte screen protector!
After I was getting more and more annoyed by constant screen polishing, and also the occasional rainbow spots left from skin lipid, this morning I removed the glossy screen protector to apply a matt type.
After I switched the phone back on I got a mild shock. The amount of degradation in sharpness and vividness was surprising. My mobile's screen pixel density is 342 ppi, so, quite good. With the matt plastic it's like putting the bottom of my water bottle as a lens protector for a Zeiss camera lens.
I feel what would really be needed is something in between, with a silky smooth, semi-gloss surface.
I've got this one : http://www.disagu.fr/golebo-semi-matt-protection-d-ecran-pour-sony-xperia-tx.html

i like the matte one.. its comfortable in my hand,. and my finger like dancing on the screen....
its not too affect color quality...

Yep I've tried both types on various devices and I wish there was something which had the best of both worlds...
But for now I guess it's:
Glossy - best image quality but get dirty
Matte - clean & smooth but degradation of image sharpness & colour
On my tablet I use glossy and my phone I use matte

matte is perfect on my TX but negligible image sharpness quality. But glassy is not preferable
ive tried both,but now.. not using it anymore, its more beautiful without those screen protectors.:victory:
Has anyone actually used both a "non-slip" back and a "smooth clean" back Moto X? Is there an actual difference in how slippery the phone is?
Trying to decide between a Dev Edition or Mint back for a replacement device.

do you mean smooth vs. woven? others have posted that the non-woven backs are actually more tacky than the woven ones.
Well right now I have royal blue, which is described on Moto Maker as "soft nonslip." Woven black has the same description.
Mint, however, says "clean and smooth."
maybe that's just a description. vzw has the backs displayed like a peacock. they all had the same rubberized coating. if you want/need additional tack, you could always get a case.
A case is not an option. Just looking for opinions on people who have held and used both.
The smooth backs are definitely more slippery. The are a harder plastic without any kind of soft touch/rubberized feel to them.
I have the Dev Edition with the woven back and I gotta say that it's pretty slippery. I can't compare to the solid colored backs because I've never held one in my hand. Just chiming in that the woven backs are pretty slippery. It really surprised me because in the pictures, the woven back looks like it would be more 3D; like they would have the actual feel of a back made of woven materials instead of just a paint job to look like it. I know that was the point, it just took me by surprise is all.
Interesting, and unfortunate. I wonder if the black woven back has a different texture than the white woven, because the black says soft non-slip.
Not that I want the black woven back. I guess I'll be avoiding the Dev edition *and* the Mint back. Too bad.
I have not felt the white woven back, but the black one is pretty grippy (much more so than the light colored smooth backs). They are not painted, but actually woven. The pattern comes from some translucency in the plastic that shows the underlying fibers.
If you go to a carrier store, they usually will have a black woven back and most of the colors that you can feel.

Yeah the black woven is pretty grippy. Almost rubbery.
My wife's blush (the light pink) back is smoother and less grippy.
Black and white woven feel completely different. I have both. White woven is smooth, hard, and slippery. Black woven feels like silky rubber if that makes sense. It's not super grippy, but definitely more grippy than the white woven.
Just read the descriptions for each color on Motomaker. It says which ones are soft touch and which are hard / smooth.

Went to an ATT store and felt the different backs. The darker colors seem to be more grippy. I made a note that: Olive, Navy, Royal Blue, Black, Cabernet and Crimson were the ones with grip. Not sure about the woven ones.

I was just at Best Buy and this is definitely the case. The non-slip colors have a rubbery texture that the smooth ones lack. White woven does not have it. That said, it seems to be just as tacky with a light touch.
Thanks.

Yeah, the hard, smooth colors can occasionally be tacky. If your hands are warm, a little clammy, have a bit of moisture on them, the hard, smooth backs stick pretty well. If your hands are cold or dry though, they can be very slippery.
Thanks, that's a good point. I'll probably go "reverse-dev-edition" with a woven black back and white front, with blue accents.
I have decided to buy this Sexy Phone
But confused to choose the variant white or black
Black version is prone to fingerprints and white one is prone to dust and grease :\
White version gives a premium feel though !!
So people please pour in your suggestions
Thanks in advance !!!
Cheers !!
I like the white one. As you said, it gives more of a premium feel. The metal frame also looks much better in the white version than in the black one.
On the other hand, the display looks better when turned off in the black one.
The front part of the phone is of glass so it will not catch much dust. One thing is that the back scratches easily if you drop your phone a lot and this shows a lot more in white than in black.
I have the black one and i like the color i use it with a matte screen protector so no fingerprint problem on the front side and the back cover is not like a glossy black so both sides no problem.
I also like the white one but the aluminium frame is grey (as you would expect but not the glossy aluminium grey) as in the black one the frame is painted black like the rest of the phone giving it a smoother look.
I like my choice and i would recommend the black one but watch out if the frame paint gets damaged by a fall it will look awful.
That's what i think thank you .
I am having a hard time choosing the looks. Although I prefer white phones, I think with an amoled screen black probably looks better, since it can make the screen look almost bezelless especially with darker background.
For the back I would like something durable and something which protects the phone in drops etc. I think leather or bamboo would be best suited but bamboo doesn't look good with a dark front and leather could scuff easily.
Anyway what are the ideas and experiences (with the original motor x) of you all?
i want to get the black front with black leather, but i read somewhere that the black leather is an in the store only option. i really hope not, i was thinking about some hints of blue.
Black with the cognac leather back. I'd prefer it in white but all the sensors being in black ruins the look for me.
I have a white face on the previous moto and this time I'll go black so it covers up all the sensors. As for the back, not sure. I have royal blue so I'll probably go a bit darker. I'm going to be a bit more bold on the accents instead of silver

is the white bad looking? this will be my first white face phone. it looked fine in pics, but that doesn't always translate in person. I am just wondering if those sensors will make the phone look aesthetically unpleasing
edit: I'm going for the black. like the user above me said, the sensors will be visible, so not that good. and black looks more classier
Hello,
I buy a 5X look around market and find SUPCASE. I use it now on my phone.
But this case makes my phone huge. I really don't like some much the phone like that.
I use tempered glass on the front. But I need something for the back the camera look's really fragile.
So I'm thinking about Dbrand Skins, I need to use something to protect the glass from camera against scratch´s. And put the phone with a different look.
My question is the skin will not peel off? Even if I buy the Bezel one?
What's your experience or did you have a better solution. I wnat use only tempered glass with something minimalist on the rest.
Thank you guys.
You can't have both a tempered glass and skin on the front... or rather it doesn't make sense to put the skin on top of the glass.
The skins are fairly durable, I've had mine on for half a year and has no signs of any peeling on the edges.
I had the skin on the side, but I didn't like the feel of the 'breaks' (space between where the skins meet) so took those off.
The skins will protect from scratches on the back (which isn't very helpful), but offer zero protection against dents from drops or scratches to the sides.
*shrugs* I like my bamboo skin, makes it distinct from all the other phones.
I've used skins since the Nexus 5, never liked cases. I use a belt pouch for protection.
I think a skin offers more options for personalizing the phone. I like black leather with a colored Nexus X and silver lettering.
With the N5x, I've tried several different skins from Slickwraps and Dbrand. I'm currently rocking a Dbrand, but am not all that happy with how the lettering and colored X fit into the cutouts. The last Slickwraps skin I used had better looking lettering, but I couldn't get them to cut me a set of silver letters. <heavy sigh>
The camera lens is not as fragile as you seem to think, but both vendors offer the little circle piece to protect it. I think they look dumb. So do the bezel pieces, IMO. I only use the back & side pieces, plus a TGSP.
I haven't had any problems with peeling with either vendor. If you use the side pieces, it will make it a little bit harder to feel/find the power button and volume rocker with your finger.

I am using both skin and a hard shell case. I have skin only on the back.
