What do you use to protect your X1

Has anyone got the full body shield for your X1? Just I think the X1 is quite a stretchable phone compares to many others I have used, so am thinking of buying a full body shield, good idea? What do you used to protect your X1?
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
Here is the link
PS I have of course got a screen protector already.

One of the things that distingiush the X1 from other smartphones is beautiful, original design combined with a solid, lasting structure - at least that's what I've experienced so far . So putting it in some kind of bodyshield would be kinda like hiding a piece of art in a safe just cause it's valuable - it misses the point completely.
That's just my opinion though.
EDIT: I just use a screen protection myself, but different from Invisible Shield - it's made of polycarbonate and honestly it workes great for me.

a sock
no screen protction

i use a sock too

i got a body protector from ebay that never scratches or peels it cost me $20 but it was worth it

I'm thinking of those plastic/rubbery shields with designs for additional protection. and it will hide those unslightly marks. Do you think its worth it? anyone tried it? Saw a store offering it for $35-40, they'll be the one to fit it in

I tried a variety of 2-piece protectors, hard plastic, silicone, thicker flexible plastic... I wouldn't bother. The silicone ones would come apart as the phone came out of the pocket, the hard plastic felt ugly (& didn't protect much - if the phone fell, the pieces would pop off with the impact)
So, don't go there... use a clear screen protector, NOT a Zagg-style one, though the Zagg body is a good idea. With hindsight, I would have used a body shield like that.
There are cheaper alternatives to Zagg, but check build quality first

$24.99 for a slip of thin 'plastic'?? (or whatever material its made out of)
...Wow. I think a more suitable and affordable price for a screen protector would be ~ $15.00. But quite interesting to see this
Unfortunately, I did not protect my X1 as I should have. Ordered a genuine leather pouch, but no screen protector. Ordered a black housing, but I really dont trust myself opening it. Opening a cell phone compared to a PSP to change the housing is quite different..

I got one of those cheap "netbook protectors" ($2) from a local store. Cut it out to shape for the battery cover which is pretty much what is scratch prone for my phone. By the way, my phone is originally black but it the paint is scratched I decided to remove all of them. I used a dish scouring pad (the plastic one NOT steel wool or something) to slowly scrape off the paint without removing the XPERIA print Now it's gunmetal colored + glossy because of the transparent "skin".

Xperia protection
I've tried em all. True. Those two piece units, whether silicon or plastic make the phone too bulky and don't stay on worth a damn. I switched to adhesive skins to protect the casing from scratches to increase resale value. It is pretty much always in a leather pouch or in a holder on my dashboard when using as GPS. (Also good protection: a large rottweiler.)

Where to buy an X1 Screen Protector? I don't see it in Phone Stores too bad.

you should be able to get one in any mobile accessory shop. however, if you are worried if the sensitivity of your touch screen will be affected, head down to a sony ericsson dealer and they should be able to hook you up with a decent one.
in fairness, 2 years with the phone, ive never used a screen protector, and used daily...and i dont hv a scratch on my screen, despite hundreds of drops on everything from tarred roads to timber floor. however a couple dollars wouldnt hurt ur pocket if u wanna get one.

i use the invisible shield the first post shows =) best i think

Review: Ebay Leather Case UPDATED

Attached Pics:

Attached Pics:
a. the flat bottom screen protector.
b. the view of the camera from the back. As can be seen it is very open and does not affect exposure.
c. the packaging (plastic)

Review:
Price: £1.89 + £ree p&p
(not the cheapest case i've ever bought: £0.10 for Crystal N95 Case + Screen Protector, but hey what can you do )
The case took about 10 days to be delivered.
The packaging was alright not a cardboard box but the contents were not affected in anyway and for free delivery what can you expect
I was happy that they sent 2 screen protectors, as can be seen in the pics they are not the same. One of which protects some protection to the bottom of the phone beside the keys. One of which does not. I have not yet attached the screen protectors as I do not see as being currently necessary and I'm rubbish at applying screen protectors ( Get bubbles everywhere )
The case itself has a nice orange stitching and a soft velvety interior finish. The velvet itself can be seen to be a dust magnet. I have tested out the compass and the magnetic clasp does not affect it.
Update 24/06/10:
As highlighted by JonPickles below the plastic case securing the phone to the case is tight. I am slightly worried whether repeated removal and installation of the phone will cause damage to the paint of the casing. Also if the phone is not taken out properly the tight fitting can cause the battery cover to come of. As of now I have not found a good way to remove the phone. I am wondering it repeated removal will losen the fitting making it easier to remove. If anyone else has this case or any other tight fitting cases please share any tips on how best to remove it.

i bought one too and didnt like how the phone was squeezed into the plastic holder and my battery cover came off when i took it out of holder plus didnt like the securing tab in my ear when makin/answerin a call so bought another that was completely leather and the tab was not in the way for £3.50 from hong kong which came in ten days also
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190399620812&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I didn't like the leather insert into which the phone goes. But everyone has their own tastes.

Great case for that price, it's really cheap and do the job perfectly, thanks for this share

Just got it
It barely fits the phone with INVISIBLE FULL BODY ZAGG SHILED ! My zagg shield got ripped of my phone and destroyed zagg shield. + it did not fit. My batteri cover came of and its really hard to take the phone out , dont like it at all

Thanks for the info m4sta2k, I'll stay clear of this one then.

The same story - slightly different characters:
Beware of snap-on hard cases! I mean you have to be very careful and do not go for the cheapest ones. My sad experience with one of them, very similar to this one brought me to this rather obvious conclusion. What happened is that in 3 weeks gray paint/covering of my HD2 was damaged wherever it touched the sturdily snapping hard case - on the corners battery cover (where the gray plastic body of HD2 slightly is raised comparing to lower battery cover) - I will post photos of it.
Then I ordered a leather pull-case, and i am happy with it. Here is my positive review for it

What screen protectors do you recommend?

Hi, I've bought recently this phone and wanted a sturdy screen, preferably a glass tempered one but I've got no idea what brands to go for or if those that you can buy cheap on ebay are enough. I'm a bit clumsy so the possiblity of it slipping out of my hand by accident and falling on its screen is there. If anyone can give some input based on experiences, that'd be great.

Cheap plastic ones from amazon always seem to work fine on all my devices.. When they get scratched I have no issues throwing on a new one.
They are cheap but keep the screen flawless

hi, i am using nillkin H+, i bought it from amazon
Things i liked in this Nillkin :
1) my friends tempered glasses catches scratches, fades after long time use (4 months) and makes screen unusable in rain, but as nillkin is having real nano coating it helps me to operate my phone even in rain with out much problem
2) i bought a tempered glass before worth 270inr from ebay it was good to look, but when i was about to remove it as its not having Nano coating on it, then i observed that it cracked and formed small powder fragments on edges when i tried to remove it with hard plastic :silly:
later i installed nillkin, had to remove this also as i didnt manage to fit it perfectly on my screen.. i used the same hard plastic, this time Nillkin tempered didnt break nor atleast formed any tiny fragments, i lifted it and set again with out any problem
these are my observing on my tempered glass

I bought a tempered glass one for around $3 on eBay, haven't gotten it yet. I don't know if the more expensive ones are better, but better can mean 2 things. Either that it's stronger, so won't break easily; or that it protects the phone better. I doubt one will protect the phone more than the other.

I do the same thing. No problems yet.

I bought a nillkin H+ but removed it after a while because the phone screen is much less oleophobic. With the screen protector on, the fingerprints were extremely annoying, at least on my sample.

So can anyone recommend a really good high quality glass screen protector without flaws? If there is none then i'll order motorola official flip shell...

The $3 ones on eBay don't have flaws. I have one and I know other people who have them, no one has any problems with them. Just first learn how to put it on so you don't break it.

Undersized
I bought a tempered glass one from an online (no brand). It's undersized, about 1.5mm all around. Probably useful to allow a case to grip the front edge, but the description didn't say so. I feel cheated, but for the price it'll do.
My previous tempered glass ones (branded) were excellent protection, and felt better on my finger than the plastic ones.
[edit] I forgot to say, the shape is one with cut-out north of the top speaker, rather than the others I've seen with speaker hole.

Moto G Premium Quality Screen Protector is Anti Glare Matte edition in my recommendation.
it Protects your device from scratches & dust. Easy to Apply , Fits perfectly and requires no cutting. Comes with a cleaning cloth and application card. Easily removable with no sticky residue or marks

Tempered glass screen protector from amazon
I've been using a SPARIN tempered glass screen protector since I got my moto g in August. (It's about $8 on amazon; unfortunately I can't post a link, but it should be easy to find)
I've managed to crack it in at least 8 places (my phone falls a lot), but it hasn't picked up any scratches yet, and it's protected the actual glass underneath. If you're even a little proficient at holding things, it should be fine.

Snakehive protector
I've only had it a few days, but I bought a Snakehive tempered glass protector for my new G3, from their Amazon store. Very pleased so far. It has cutouts for the mouthpiece at the bottom and for the earpiece, light sensor and camera at the top, although at the top it doesn't surround them for some reason, but that's only a couple of milimetres uncovered. It was a breeze to put on when compared to film protectors. I laid it over the mouthpiece and it simply eased itself into place over the rest of the screen. Seems a bargain at the current £3.95.
I'm wanting to get the flip down case from Snakehive too, assuming they get more stock in.

First day of smartphone, yes good idea to have a screen protection. But now with gorilla glass, useless.
It's my point of view.

I used and have a Mr shield or something like that from Amazon super easy too install i've had no bubbles when placing it on the phone also bought a case where there was enough space that should it fall on the screen side it's not touching the floor I've dropped my phone about 5 times over the course of a year. Took off the case and replaced the screen protector and it still looks like brand new minus where I've blindly inserted the USB cord.

10 days to 1 year since i purchased the device . never used any screen protector and been 8 month since i didnt use any case either.
no scratches

Yeah, just acquired this phone from roommate, and he hasn't used any screen protectors either. Otterbox commuter covering it but that's it. No scratches.

my phone has some minor scuffs and little bend on bottom right corner but thats coz the phone fell from above 5 feet . must say the build quality is very solid

Honestly, you just don't need them these days. Had my G3 6 months, not a single scratch and I am hardly careful with it, gets thrown in pocket with keys and lose change, and dropped often because I am clumsy. Plenty of dents along the bezel but screen as good as new.

What is the best tempered glass protector for the Mi 6?

Hello. I've ordered a Mi 6 from GearBest a couple of days ago. It will probably take at least a month to arrive, but I guess I should already order the extras so I'll have them at hand by then too.
I'm looking at different glass protectors and it seems there's nothing with no issues? Many complain the one they bought covers too little of the screen, or that it detached too easily. Perhaps even cracked spontaneously.
What will you recommend? Is there anything which gives complete coverage well? I'll buy a case as well, so I don't want something that might get pulled off when putting a case on.
Thanks in advance.

Stock are good that comes with, can sustain a drops easily. I already use it for over 6 months and been dropped from 1 meter at screen, few times before crack occurred.. Today I think i'll replace it with Nilkin that I got when I purchased it back in summer. Btw Nilkin IMHO is one of the best glasses if not best.

NILLKIN 9H/9H+/H+ Pro is the best i ve tried , no easy scratches, ΝΟ fingerprint at all, 2,5 D edges, its likge touching the phone screeen, its also thinest than the others i tried...

Well, I ended up buying "ASLING 2.5D Screen Protective Film" from GearBest, and it doesn't seem to stick entirely well. Like most available glass screen protectors, it doesn't go to the very edge of the glass front - so I didn't think the rounded edges of the Mi 6 should interfere (perhaps they're actually not the cause), but the edges of the Asling don't stay "glued" to the phone. They are a bit raised so there is a 5mm hazy white area along all edges. I guess dirt could also get under these parts as they're not flat. The more internal part did stick pretty easily with no bubbles.

This is great, covers the full phone and sticks https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Xia...aomi-mi6-tempered-glass-full/32813722170.html.

Nillkin Textured case

I got this case today & It's AMAZING! It's really high quality & feels good in the hand. It also makes back of the phone look good! That texture is amazing! With this case there is no camera bump anymore, it's perfectly aligned. Cuts are precise, it leaves a bit of space for holes, which is good. Phone is a bit thiccer, but it's not an issue for me. I didn't notice any weight increase subjectivily when holding it in the hand. I paid for it 17 euros which is quite expensive but it's worth it. You can get it a bit cheaper through AliExpress.
Highly recommend it!

Not to rain on your parade but that case is terrible, I bought it and got a refund on it not 2 days after.
It's textured sure but it's not rubber texture but plastic texture, meaning it'll slip from the table to the floor more times than you can count, I managed to break my tempered glass because the phone slid from the table to the floor because the case isn't grippy. You're better off with the case the phone came in, at least it isn't slippery. Or get a Spigen case like I did, they got released this week.
Also, I bought it for 7 euros on Aliexpress, how did you paid 17?

Well, there is no free shipping on Aliexpress for Serbia so there is that. Case is not slippy at all imo, it didn't move when placed on table. I looked for Spigen case as I heard they are good quality too but it's not avaliable here, so yeah. I think I read your post somewhere for Nillkin regular case, not this one containing the same issues you described. I could be wrong there.
I used Nillkin case back on Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo & it was also really good. They were very popular back than so that's why I decided to buy Nillkin case.

Seems the one you bought is cloth based, mine was hard plastic. Nillkin does produce good cases but the one I got was such a disappointment.

I have a Nillkin Frosted Glass plastic case on my Poco X3, it's my fifth phone so far with that case. It's pretty good, although the white ones tend to get... not white very soon.

Is it higher around the camera to protect it?

Yes

I bought this case at aliexpress. The quality looks good. All holes are cut-out perfect
However, I don't like this case. It feels hard. And I hate the texture on the back side. Due to the texture small dirt particles sit between the dots. They don't go away with a fast wipe. The cut-out for the camera is a circle. Spigen uses a rounded rectangle which I prefer.
Sorry to say, but I really don't like this case. It feels just not smooth. The backside feels like sandpaper. Unpleasant to touch or hold the phone.
A member above said the case slips easily around. Like a ice cube. I can't confirm that. Actually it has a good grip on different surfaces.
That's all personal preferences. What I hate, others may love. As I said, quality looks great.
I'll get my spigen case in a few days. I know them from my old phones. Can't wait.

Hi,
I ordered this case, I paid 11.45 USD only, it might be more expensive than other cases here, but after I bought a cheap case I decided that I won't waste money on cheap useless cases anymore, so I searched and found Nillkin is the most popular.
I have a question though, if you please...
Do I have to remove the case every week to clean the dust that go inside, like other cases?
Thanks in advance

I found a better one which protects the camera, I received it today, hard case feels smooth in my hand, everything is fine except that the edges need to be higher than the screen a lil bit more to protect it, unfortunately it is not; after I installed the case I noticed that my screen protector tempered glass is higher than the case edges.
