hey waarom gebruik je het hoesje niet?? zo'n dure telefoon zet je niet gewoon los in je zak.. als je het kwijt bent zoek dan naar een vervanger..

hey why don't you use the pouch? you don't put such an expensive device in your pocket like that.. if you lost it just search for a replacement..
I still dont have any scratches on my HD2 bought it back in December..

Just as much as you don't put a device you use so much in a pouch... I'd get mad if I had to take it out of and put it back in a pouch every 2 minutes, not mentioning the extra thickness...
It's meant to be used, I like to keep my device neat but still favor useability. No pouch, no screen protector, I'm jsut careful when I use it, then it's just normal wear to me. I wouldn't want to be annoyed EVERY time I use it just to avoid a little scratch or 2. The back cover is the least of my worries, screen is the important bit.
Or you can leave your HD2 in its original box and at home, so that it never gets flawed
And yes, the back cover getting ugly is common.
Get yourself a case
I got myself a rubber case of ebay, very cheap - 3£ -from Hong Kong this should sort everything out. Even when you drop it there is more chances your HD2 will survive. I wouldn't worry bout the screen it quite scratch resistant
I use my pouch all the time, never put it straight into my pocket, yet I have small blotches on it, on one the protective coating has even come off. Can't think of anything I have done to cause it...

Why don't you give it a wipe with what we here in Scotland call a magic sponge.
a Mr Muscle product I think. I usally buy them unbranded at a local discount store.
I have exactly the same problem, I hate fumbling around with a case every time I want to skip a track and because of this my battery cover has the paint chipped off. I recently bought a rubber case in a kit from mobilefun.
I have the cover issues and this is what i am going to do:
polish the cover as done in one of the threads here and get another cover off eBay and switch between the two.
buy a silicon rubber back cover and you will have pleasure using and protecting your HD2
Sorry people nothings going to cure the damage on my cover. Anybody see what HTC charge for a new battery cover. Like reaching for the soap in prison!

Ive had mine since november and ive never used a case, my battery cover is almost flawless there are a few tiny scratches that are barely noticeable.....
compared to my old N95 this thing is invincible.....
I've had mine since march (US Tmobile release), and I've used no cover or screen protector and there's not a scratch anywhere on the phone, including screen and battery plate cover.
I have bought a transparent cover for all the parts of the phone..called if i remember well "Clear Armor" and ever since i have no problem/fear of scratches. There are no issues regarding the touchscreen sensitivity or so, besides on the box is NOT written made in China!!

I still want to get that "Clear Armor".
Tho for now I dont have any damages on my phone. I just use the poutch which was included.
Skipping numbers from music player? The shipped earphones had a remote control part which works very well, tho I bought a plugin earphone remote so I can use my Synhaiser earphone and skip numbers while its in the poutch.. expensive but the sound quality is so good.
Photo?!
Hey addie, show us a photo of your ugly battery cover
Here's the picture http://twitpic.com/2so8jd
Cheeeeze OP the cover looks like you busted a nut over it, then dropped it in the toilet at the end
So I ordered some screen protectors that claim they fit the transformer screen however they are slightly bigger leaving one side unable to stick properly because it protrudes slightly off the screen. I have read several other people say they have had the same problem. Cutting it with an exacto knife doesn't quite leave the edge smooth. Has anybody found one that actually fits the screen properly?
yep, fits perfectly
http://cgi.ebay.com/3PCS-Screen-Pro...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item45fb4bc3c2
i brought these and they are great. Went on super easy, no air bubbles. They are the kind that have the two tabs on them. you pull the back off then place on the screen, smooth out the air bubbles etc, then pull the top layer off with the other tab. They are great quality. I am happy with them

And does it fit perfect bezel to bezel? I purchased this one http://cgi.ebay.com/Lots-5-Clear-Sc...&otn=5&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=1556935545867845673 and extremely disappointed. Has the same 2 tabs, dimensions specified say same as yours however one edge is slightly too long. I have several devices that I have applied protectors to problem free so i know its not me. Just want to make sure it fits perfectly. Any chance you can upload pics? was looking at the clarivue. Thanks.

The Clarivue leaves a gap around all sides.
I appreciate the feedback. Anybody else with screen protector input or info?
I bought from a different auction the buy it now for 7.29....but it was sent from wowpartspro.... 3pcs also.... sure its the same screen protectors

Yes, seems they come from this wowparts. Does yours fit or is it slightly too large?
i did get your message. yes mine had the iPad pictured on the front of the package too, but the screen protectors honestly fit perfectly. Went on first try with no issues. Maybe you got a bad batch? I would definitely buy from them again

It's very odd. I purchased the 5 pack and tried 4 because I'm OCD and everyone too large. Cut outs for the camera line up perfectly but one side and one edge on the bottom are too long. I wonder if maybe the screen has changed slightly on the tablet... I read early versions had issues and maybe they changed something. I just purchased mine and has a serial number that begins with b6 which I read was from the later batches. Looks like I may have to spend extra on that clarivue that is cut slightly short. Too chicken to let the screen ride naked.

How about the one from bestskinsever?
I'm looking for a screen protector for my TF and checked at bestskinsever.com. I bought iPhone 3GS screen protector when it was on sale. As a satisfied customer I went back to the site and was glad that they are making protectors for TF.
Has anyone tried it so far? What is your feedback? Was it a perfect fit? Did it serve the purpose?
iPhone protector I bought had a few bubbles on Day 1 but disappeared the next day.
I'm unable to post the link...look under tablet section on their website.

So I've been doing my research on what case to get my Amaze which arrives Tuesday. I went ahead and decided to purchase the Trident Aegis Blue. From what I've read it a strong and reliable case. The only complaint I've read that is important to me is the lack of three noise cancellation holes on back.
So like one member (don't remember his s/n) did I want to drill three nice little holes in the hard and rubber case yet I want it to still look nice and professional. I emailed Trident three times but they continue to ignore me.... Can anyone help me or give me advice on going about this procedure? I would really appreciate it. Thanks
well the easiest way would be to map the hole's location onto the case by measuring the distance from the camera or lay the back cover of the phone in the case and use a needle to mark the hole's spot. (shouldnt be too hard)
then to drill through the plastic, just use a small drill bit for that. and go slow so the friction doesnt melt the plastic or mess up the drilling....
then for the silicone skin... just put the skin onto the plastic case and with hot needle (heat with lighter or something) just poke through the silicone
that should give the desired effect that your looking for
please explain to me how you can even get this case on the phone. bought it, case refuses to go on. worst experience with a case ever
Slide the phone in from the bottom.
Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?

Update!
So I finally received a reply back from Trident Cases in regards to the lack of three holes on the back case that we need. This is her reply:
Good afternoon,
We have fixed this issue, I apologize the pictures on our website do not reflect the change.

email them to me.
Called Trident, spoke with Kelly, and told me that if we wanted 2 more holes, we will have to email them & it will be forwarded to their design team.
The manager told Kelly to tell me that adding 2 more holes are not necessary when I first called.
Do you think they will offer an exchange from the old design to the new one? I hope so. This case was expensive.

Yes, they do. Did you bought the case from Tridenteer? Kelly herself told me that if they updated the case, it can be exchanged within the one year warranty from the date of your purchase.

That would be perfect for me, I bought this case too 2 month ago and I really didn't like the fact that it didn't have the holes, so I ended up buying the ballistic case which in my opinion is way better that the trident, I mean don't get me wrong both are really good, but the ballistic feels way better, I still have the trident case for backup.

put the phone in the silicone first, then put the hardshell over that, I don't remember it being difficult at all... ? I don't use my aegis though, just my kraken...
First silicone case goes on phone then top hard plastic , now this is tricky part the back part . Put right side on first then clip on left side

I cracked my screen while in my pocket. I actually dis assembled my phone today and was surprised by the build. The phones frame is actually poly carbonite plastic with aluminum trim added to the sides. The top and bottom trim is also poly carbonite I'm guessing for the anttenna signal. I'm gonna make a post of my phone disassembly. But the main reason for screen cracking is cause the phone is so big and so thin. The screen glass looks to only be 1- 1.5mm thick so when it flex the glass cracks. I feel they should have made the phone thicker simular to the z1 with the 20.7mp camera with a thicker battery. I would have replaced this phone with the lumia phablet if it didn't have windows on it. Windows phone is a definite no go. Anyway I strongly recommend a case that adds rigidity to the phone like the aluminum bumper case. Anyway photos attached.

Back cover is the easy part. Just use a heat gun and a plastic trim tool or plastic razor. The hard part is figuring the order of disassembly. I would have sent it back to Sony but they couldn't give me a price on how much it would cost. I also felt that added to the total cost of the phone I paid especially since I paid full pop.. And I also thought about how mad I would be if it cracked again after sending it in for repair. So im going to order a new screen assembly and see if I can fix it myself. I do work on cars for a living so a phone "should" be easy...lol. If I cant then I'll either buy another z ultra or similar phone. Not the note 3 though cause I hate touch wiz and its not big enough. I have my eye on the HP 7" tablet that suppose to have calling features as well. I may end up getting the new asus padphone.
I note that it is only a 3000mAh battery not 3050?
Here is a video from YouTube and explains how to disassemble a Sony Xperia Z...
What the hell, aren't we supposed to have a 3050 mah battery ??

Did you try ask Dbrand? They don't have Xperia 5 in the lineup, up to zx3, but I'm almost sure, they'll do you one if you ask.
And I guess even if they won't, you got nothing to loose by trying mailing them. :good:
Unfortunately I don't think this phone has anywhere near the user base for dbrand to produce for it. They're a Canadian company and Sony doesn't offer any phones there currently, and they barely sell any phones in the US.

Thought it was worth a try. ?
Maybe ES then? EasySkinz? You cant know, unless you ask?
Dbrand is to me known, for making skins to whatever, if they get the job. I could be misunderstanding though.
Otherwise. You could just buy some quality m3, and do one your self? With a scalpel and heat? You'll have some try and error in a single sheet. Can't see it should be that hard really. (Just a brainstorm idea, I wouldn't be scared to try, and in what ever color or pattern you wish?) Win win imo. You just need to do the measurements and cutting your self. See it as a fun challenge! And make some custom sh!t! I'd love to try actually, but I'm using a case, and I don't have any m3 laying around. And nothing to use the rest of a sheet for so seems brainless for me to go out buy. When never gonna be visible. But I'd encourage you to try, why not?
:good:
Lastly. If not in mood to try your self. Go down to a car wrapper, with a box of beer 30min before closing. They'll wrapp this no time. I suppose.
:laugh: :victory:
That's a wrap. Lol
Guess I got nothing but bad ideas. Sorry. :laugh:

Does anyone know a good silicone protector/case for the xperia 5?
https://www.mobilefun.de/roxfit-sony-xperia-5-protective-soft-shell-case-clear-76819
I have used these protectors on other devices for years
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/303361246627
They wasn't available so I requested them and the following day they we're released. Not tried it yet on the Xperia 5 but will do when these cheap ones are removed.
Previous experience is the ease of application and can even use water to help fit them properly.
