I am thinking of getting a Black Mini Pro and went over to the local store to look at one. They only had white and the back cover was just plain glossy plastic. Is the back cover of the black mini pro rubberized?
Thank you
The black cover has a matte finish which feels rubberized, but doesn't appear to peel off if you try to scratch it with your fingernail.

Thank you, I was hoping that it was.
How do you like the phone?
I love it. This phone was an upgrade from my x10 mini pro. In fact, I liked it so much, I bought another one for my girlfriend, and fitted both with 32g sd cards. I'm excited about getting ICS on it soon.

Anybody know if we can get these? Asin the screen protector that comes with the phone from the factory?
Or what make they are?
Took mine off as it was heavily scratched, and i need another! Have been using a 6 in 1 pack from amazon for a few quid. Good quality just sometime hard to apply!
Screen Protector
I have had issues with screen protectors. I have gone through 12-5 of them. The ones from asia are not cut right. I gave online one more shot before doings something else and found one that works well. The ones from China (amazon) were a bit larger than the screen and would pull off when I put it in the case or would collect dust. I recently got one from ebay that is great. It is a tiny bit smaller than the screen vertically (to the right and left of the buttons), but fits perfectly!
Ebay
Item number: 110653213307
Cheap, right cut, and is holding up great!
i got a perfect one from amazon.com, they were super cheap too. it came cut perfectly, just the right size for my x10, it has stuck well, no signs of peeling off, no bubbles, and hasn't been scratched yet lol
jz one question, did u peel off the factory SP? and when u applied new one and put a rubber protector, did u get any peeling off at each of the side angle?
I peeled off the factory protector (actually the best buy guy did) I wish I hadn't. I have not had peeling issues with the one I noted above
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
i tried using the factory's but its jz have too much fingerprint... and its not as smooth as the matte protector.. im in dilemma, whether to peel off the ori and apply matte only.
try invisible shield it`s the best
A while back i saw a thread that show a 2 pack of clear skin protector for the x10 for $10. Does anybody know the site where i can buy it from?
Its similar to but not the zagg's invisible shield.
Thank you

I bought myself a bodyglove for mine.
Fits nice and snug.
But i'm not sure where online.
Try www.dealextreme.com
Free delivery
When I got hard silicon cover from deal, it was really HARD
I didnt like it but still covered my phone.
Was it www.clear-coat.com?
Stealth Guard does 2 full body for $9.99 here.
Just received my new one today as my old one had dirt suck to the edge. Been using it for a long time and for me it improved the touch screen as I often have sweaty hands.
I didn't have to replace mine as it was still sticky after I took it off and washed it with soap and was fine till I put my new one on. I replaced it as it was darker around the edge, probably from the dirt.
The pictures below shows the difference to white.

Not for me, thanks!
I'm getting closer to biting the bullet on getting a Z5C, but wanted some opinions from owners:
- What color? I'm considering black/gray or yellow/"coral". How does the yellow look in real life?
- Recommendations on either a case or decent glass protection for front and back? Is it even necessary?
Thanks!
I went with black (had a white Z3c, wanted a change) a generic tempered glass screen protector, and Orzly FlexiSlim case. Very pleased with this case, barely noticeable and decent protection.
I had a red Z3C which I thought was pretty good looking.
Tried the coral and yellow one, but both of them look very cheap in my opinion. The coral is, to be honest, just pink so you gotta see if thats your style.
I'll highly recommend using any generic screen protector (or skin) on both sides since it will, as far as I have witnessed, reduce the possibility of a cracked screen significantly.
I bought a black one and will put a nice looking red dbrand skin on the back.
Thanks for the feedback. I was considering yellow just because it's so different and would stand out. If it looks cheap though, I think I'll pass. Once I figure out my tax refund amount, I'll pull the trigger on a new phone I think
Black one, so classic and so "James Bond"
No protectors, naked for its full beauty !

Black is always my choice. Unfortunately this phone is gray on the back so I got a matte black Dbrand skin for the back.

I have a black Z5C with no case and bought a Dbrand carbon fiber skin, but I never put it on. The phone gets so hot that I thought putting something else on it wouldn't help at all. I'm afraid it'll run even hotter.
I've got a black with a case-mate tough (the one with two layers) and Nillikin tempered glass screen protector.
I had the same combination on my Z3c and never suffered a broken screen or back so hopefully it'll be a good combo this time around too!

Can we have photo of your z5 with Dbrand skin ? Pleease
For the protection I recommend you "IMAK series 2" crystal clear hard case.
-cheap.
-really slim from the sides.
-Not slippery (like phone's sides and back)
- crystal clear (its beautiful whatever is your phone color)
- adds good distance to the back camera.
I think it's better than a tempered glass because the phone is really slippery.

Here you go. It's the matte black skin.
I am going to buy official SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 Clear View Case Cover, but I am struggling whether to get a silver or a black case for my black S7. It's really hard to determine from the pictures what is the difference, because they always present silver version of S7 with with silver case and black version of S7 with black case. Which one would look better on the black version?
I got the silver one on a silver S7. Looks and snaps on superb and it's not obstructive on the keyboard.
On a black S7, personally I would go for the case with a black rim. If you like the bling, go for the silver one.
In my opinion, don't ever buy this case. It did micro scratchs on the top of the screen and a few on the right edge after less than one week. The reason is that if tiny particles got trapped between the cover and the screen, then they will damage your screen. You are warned now.

I got the Rugged Armor from Spigen, really good material and fits really well. Also ordered a Yootech screen protector. It's not tempered glass cause it seems because of the 2.5D screen it's almost impossible to fit a tempered glass effectively on it. Gorilla Glass 4 should be resistant enough anyway...

I confirm that. I bought this case for my wife in 1 week appeared several scratches at the top of the screen. I was VERY BRAVE. As Samsung makes a cover that scratches the screen of your cell phone. RIDICULOUS.
I like white black
On Jul 3rd I pre-ordered two dBrand skins for my OP5 and they arrived on Jul 6th. The two skins were the Mahogany wood (back and camera lens cover) and the Hyperblack Titanium (back with red camera lens cover and red 1+ logo). Even though I wanted to add the front Mahogany skins the fact that I've also ordered the Ozly tpsp screen protector made me realized I'd have issues whenever I needed to replace the screen cover.
Attached are pictures of both skins with accessories un-applied and the Mahogany skins applied including the camera lens cover. Notice that the two Mahogany skins have different wood patterns. Running your finger over each skin I realized that the Mahogany adds almost no additional grip to the slippery naked OP5 while the Hyperblack Titanium skin has more texture which I believed would add more grip. This is not to say that once applied the Mahogany skin did not reduce the overall slipper feel of a naked OP5, as it did. In the future I'll likely try the Hyperblack Titanium but right now I really like the Mahogany's overall look the best.
I still bought a cheap clear plastic case which is currently on a slow boat from China. I'll use it when I'm going someplace where accidents are more likely such as camping or a party. These skins are so thin that I don't anticipate putting the case on to be an issue.
This is the first time I've every bought or applied a skin as I've previously only gone with bumper cases. Over all I think the application went well but I certainly don't have the corner flaps applied as well as seen on dBrand's OP5 application video. Most definitely you need a hairdryer during application as I had a bubble under the skin and heating that section and the bubble's path to the outside saved having to peal the skin off to start again. It works much like you push bubbles out from a clear plastic screen protector. Getting the initial bottom alignment applied properly is the key to the rest of the application. Mess that up and you alignment issues multiply. Heating and stretching the skin is dangerous and only helps with the tiniest of misalignment.
The dBrands fit overall and specifically around the buttons is as perfect as a mass produced item can be. In conclusion, if you choose to use a skin you'd be hard pressed to find a brand with a more accurate fit.
P.S. For grip the Carbon Fiber would likely be your best bet but I thought it was butt ugly so went another way.
Edit: Added top, bottom, right and left side pictures.
Hyperblack comes along with the white 1+ logo? Or is it just the packaging design?
I am thinking of buying Black Dragon.
Usually, when is the Dbrand Sale? Any idea?
Thanks

No, what appears on the Hyperblack picture as a white 1+ logo is just the skin's backing tape. The Hyperblack I picked has a cut out of the 1+ logo then I ordered the red colored logo cut out to fill in the skin's logo cut out. On the Mahogany skin I chose not to have any 1+ logo so the skin was solid (no logo cut out at all). The Black Dragon skin was already available when I purchased my skins. I was tempted to get that instead of the Hyperblack.
I have no idea when there will be a sale. I didn't feel the price was too excessive. In fact I would have only bought the Mahogany at this time but the added $5 for shipping meant that a second skin only cost me an extra $6 and the shipping on both skins became free. That's much like how Amazon prices small items to be just under the free shipping costs to get you to buy one more item. In this case I went for it as a Hyperblack skin also tempted me.
I just got the black dragon skin with orange logo and camera cutout. I previously used the titanium and the hyperblack on my Nexus 6p and I can say that the dragon skin has a very similar texture than the hyperblack. IN terms of looks, I have to say that it looks similar to the hyperblack except for the cracked look/texture and the slight silver highlights in certain areas. All in all, I think it looks amazing on this device.
Im looking to grab one of the Mah Wood one and having it under my Orzly flexi case. It looks pretty amazing with the wood skin. Would you be able to show off the sides of the phone? I would love to see the fit on the sides
dBrand sure do make some precision skins! Let us know once you installed them!
Here is mine! Just finished. Marble with cement logo

Looking good!! I've ordered mine but with red logo cutout. Is there good grip with the black dragon skin? My only quirk with this device so far is how slippy the back is and was hoping the black dragon skin would sort that out for me..

From what dBrand have been saying, the dragon skins look to be quite grippy. I'd love to use skins over cases but don't trust myself enough

I don't trust myself either!! Thinking of getting one of the rhinoshield bumpers so I can keep it looking nice, on the back at least :victory: Hopefully that along with the tempered glass SP I have one will protect it.. and so long as the skin is grippy I hopefully shouldn't drop it.

Just be careful with that combo on a Rhino Shield. they can rip off Tempered glass and the cases lately have been so tight getting them on with even a skin on is really hard and taking it off is even worse. I damaged my OP3 trying to get the Rhino Shield off when using a skin. best results is to cut the skin so it doesn't go up and down the sides or corners of the phone.
I still remember ordering that case there was no warning on the prouduct page about it not working with tempered glass and when I complianed and got nowhere a sudden disclaimer went up :/

It definitely has some texture that helps the phone be less slippery but not as much as I expected. But it certainly help add a decent amount of grip, especially on the sides of the phone which are very thin and rounded.

Ye my mate was saying the RhinoShield on his OP3t is way too tight and difficult to get off. I saw one on a S8 and looks a fair bit looser, hoping it's a bit looser on the OP5 and fits.
Thanks for the heads up though:good:
