[Q] Otterbox owners do you have this like I do?

Hi everyone. Today I got my otterbox defender case. Everything good except for the screen protector. It has an area in the middle, which when touches to the screen makes it appear to have something like an Oil stain on the asphalt:

But very light version of it. It can be very annoying in the bright light.
Does anyone else experiencing it?

Nope. That's not normal!
I removed the screen protector from mine anyway.

Ow I didnt know that it is removable. I did it and put custom screen protector. Works super

Yes I do too.
I have had a my defender for about a week and I have had that same problem since about the third day.

yeah, it looks like an oil stain but i think it's actually electricity or something. the way to fix it is to either add a screen protector or to very lightly dust the area with baby powder.

If you pull the screen protector out of the Defender case, then if you drop the phone on it's face you may break the screen instead of the Defender protector. The Amazon review has a complaint from someone who had this very thing happen - he was complaining that one could not order a replacement screen protector (and this after it saved his phone)...

If i got you right then that is moisture that builds up and you just open it a bit against a clean breeze i.e partly open the case to allow wind to flow through and hold it out of your car window while you drive around. The wind will pick up all the moisture

Logically, if you're dropping your phone in a fashion where some corner is impacting the screen, then it'd go right through that plastic either way.
The plastic is basically a scratch prevention device. Any serious impact would pass through it like a second board under a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick.

I'm just quoting the experience of a reviewer I read. His otterbox screen protector broke, but the screen on his HD2 did not. The fact that the otterbox screen protector broke indicates it is not merely plastic.
I don't know if I agree with your statement. If you look closely, the otterbox plastic protector has what appears to be reinforcements running through it; it is not just plain plastic. It only shows up in certain lights and at certain angles.

I have two of those now and I can say that the plastic film is bending easy, which means it will bend under the hit. I actually use a screen protector film and OtterBox's protector at the same time.

I also use a screen protector, because it cuts down on the problem of having the plastic touch the glass screen.

I own also an Otterbox Defender Case und use it with HD2, without problem as described above. I use the original screen protector slide on HD2 (between original screen and Otterbox screen protectr)

Xtreme Guard any good? 85% off code inside!

Is there stuff any good? I just ordered a full body protector + install kit for $1.65 shipped. For the price you cant go wrong I guess.

Garbage compared to a tempered glass protector. Trust me get the glass and u'll be happy

That's a poor reflection on XtremeGuard. Most plastic protectors are not as good as tempered glass ones.
I can vouch for XtremeGuard's full body protection. I had the rear protector which is a wet install product. It was top notch to be fair, easily as good as bigger more expensive brands like Zagg. I only removed it as I got a good deal on a SlickWraps matte feel rear protector.
For the money, XtremeGuard always offering high discount, you can't go wrong.

Agreed, but some people don't want a tempered glass protector.
I for one LOVED the feel of my xtremeguard. I actually dropped something right on the screen of my phone (a large lithium ion battery) and it make a giant nick on surface.
I was filling out the forms for getting my phone replaced via HTC Advantage, and at the last moment before submitting I decided to just peel off the protector and see how badly the glass was damaged, since I was returning it anyway.
Turns out the ding looked like it went through on the glass, but it was entirely on the screen protector!
Saved my phone! I had the full body, and I loved the feel of the gloss back. It made it just sticky enough to be easier to grip and didn't spoil the look of the phone at all. Fantastic, and for the price? it's a complete no brainer. Last time they had this sale I bought five, and I don't regret buying that many at all. It's amazing.

Wow thanks for the post. Been looking for a screen protector. I ordered their tempered glass and the full body wrap (Just in case I dont like one or the other) for a total of $7.65 shipped! Glad I didn't spend 2-3x that last week Cheers

I have used xtremeguard now for the second time (first time was on a phone I had to get replaced due to a defect)...I personally use it for the protection between the phone and any case I install...I work in a dusty environment and it really helps protect from stuff rubbing into the aluminum body and scratching it...awesome product.

Great idea, thanks. Going to use the back from the full body protector (under my case), and the tempered on the front!

Have the glass protector on my phone right now. Feels just like the GLAS.t on my Note 3. Tried taking a key and knife to it, and it left no scratches. Granted I did not press down super hard, but enough to simulate something more than normal. Would recommend especially with their massive discounts.

I have their wet install screen protector on now and have had it since I got the phone. Works good, just like any other wet install screen protector. I have tried alot of different ones, and they are all about the same to me.

Here's a video of it on the device

Got it on mine. Doesn't smear, applies easy and looks invisible. Top notch especially for the price. (I got them on the 90% offer)

Poetic Revolution case for Note 5

This is my very first Poetic case so if I miss out anything, please feel free to add to this review
Two piece, I had quite a hard time taking the case apart,

but installing was much easier.
What gave me all that trouble was actually the protective port seal
Looks very protective alright, stylus hole is huge
Actual shot in hand
Definitely a very manly phone, small hands beware.
Weight
heavy
Button shots
Not a big fan of the buttons, you can barely feel their existance
Top shot
Kickstand
My favorite feature of the entire case
Conclusion:
Rugged case, feels safe to drop from hip high (not gonna go higher, sorry).
Look-wise can't complain.
Installing and removing the case is a pain, so I probably would not change case as often.
Can't fit into pockets but it is impossible to drop this phone with its grippiness.
I like the hole; I can hang phone around my neck and also hang it with my key.
Not water-proof but gives a decent dust-proof.
Kickstand is great for video but not for standing straight up (no big deal)
Well, that is all folks, hope this helped making up someone's mind.

I reviewed it too... my only gripe with it was the kickstand which is metal and I think the only cause - of making it not work with wireless charging.

I've got one of these coming in next week and was aggravated about not being able to use the wireless charger, even though I only use wireless at night. But in the end, a friend of mine has this case for his 6s plus, and I really like it, so if it means I go without wireless so be it.

That plastic screen protector though. Fingerprint heaven and grease! Why doesn't anyone make a case that is tight fitting with a 9h protector so that it doesn't do the grease under screen issue?! Ugh.
How easy is the protector popped out?

Agreed with the fingerprint heaven. They don't make a case with 9h because they can make more money with them sold separately? Protector is actually pretty difficult to pop out.

I was able to pop the screen protector off pretty easily. I had a hardertime getting my screen protetor off my otterbox. The S pen is very difficult to pop out of this case. at least getting it out quickly is not happening. definitely like the case though.

I found leaving my stylus clicked out allowed the case to still close completely and makes it a lot easier to remove the stylus when needed.
Also cut the loop off mine. ?

Has anyone found a good one?
Thanks!

I always use "Nillkin" glass.

Their customer service was unwilling to help with a replacement or refund, and I thought that was kind of crappy.

Mate 8 is a huge guy, how can you mishandle such a huge guy lol. If at all it jumps out, need a cover strong enough to absorb the shock. Tempered glass is just a waste unless you.work at a mechanic shop

One grain of sand and the display is doomed.
Will never use a mobile device without a tempered glass protector. This will also scratch of course, but it's easily replaceable :good:

according to user votes most of people says that after phone drops screen was ok but glass damaged.
Last - a small damaged cover glass but display is ok on my wife phone
PS May be more honest - they are all made dont glass but plastic cover All - noname, brand - sound is equal

Fragile hands will surely need tempered glass to.protect their.phones.
Never used any since SGS times

Full glass screen cover

i've installed glass screen protector bought here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/RDC...-For-Xiaomi-Mi8-Mi-8-SE-Full/32881714447.html
It covers entire front panel but black frames around the screen protector are too wide - they covers screen about 1mm from each side.
All holes for camera, led etc are properly cut.
I'm waiting for other glasses to get off the right one.

interesting tread, i will survey.
I have buy one and will report to you

I bought one full display, too, will report. But to be safe I ordered a classic display foil.

I also buy this glass and I confirm your remarks : it covers fine the front panel and the black frames seems slightly too wide.
But it is not annoying at all. I think that I'm satisfied of the result.

(sorry, can't post links until I post more messages).
It fits perfectly. Great feeling. Glue everywhere in the screen. So no bubbles or this iridiscent thing that sometimes apperars. It covers the whole screen, even the edges and it doesn't look like the black edged are taking any space from the display. But there is a major downside. The edges are cut straight. Not rounded. Making them sharp-ish on touch and creating a place where dust and "others entities" can settle their new home. If you don't have a case, go for a rounded edge. But if you have a rather big case, you don't feel the edge.
I'd look for a cover with rounded edges, full coverage and full glue. Then, check reviews to see if there is any display covered by the black parts.
