Hi, I was wondering if there was a battery cover for the Tilt 2 that had an open hole for the camera (I don't want to void any warranties by smashing my own open), and one that had a more plastic matte finish like the one on the Kaiser/Tilt. I like how the ATT Tilt 2 battery cover doesn't attract finger prints much at all, but it's really slippery. The fact that it slides in the opposite side of my thumb also makes it prone to fall out of my hand, so I think a more rubbery texture would be better. I don't want a protective casing because that would add width. I don't use the PTT button, but if I ever decide to reconfigure it, I'd like to have that option. Is there any battery cover like the one I described? I did a search, and most of them didn't have a PTT opening and also had the same material as the ATT Tilt 2 does.
Try to use a skin/shield for the back. All of these would make the case back sticky. You'll get a screen protector also.
GadgetShieldz is relatively cheap and it fits quite well.

That's actually a great idea. But I really want an open hole for my camera. I don't take a lot of pictures, but when I do, I always take off the back cover. Is there a back cover out there with a PTT port and open camera hole that is also compatible with those skin shields?
I ordered one of these for my Tilt2 - it has an open hole for the camera. No PTT button, though. I agree with the skin/shield idea. I use BodyGuardz, and it gives a much better grip on the phone.

Yeah, that's the one I was looking at. No PTT button isn't a huge downside, but I'll end up dropping ~$30 in total. Seems a little much for something I have to assemble. Is there absolutely nothing like I described? Is it that undesirable?
Hey guys, just a little tip I had thought up, last time I had looked into protecting my phone and screen.
I recommend OtterBox Defender Series for overall maximum phone protection.
Problem: Plastic screen gets scratched, damaged, etc. and then you have to fork out another $30-$50 for a new case.
Solution: I recommend an Invisishield be installed to the exterior of the OtterBox, thus enabling it to protect that plastic screen protector. When the Invisishield becomes too dirty, scratched up, or damaged, just go to a kiosk in a mall and have them replace it (I believe it's only a $5 fee, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).
TIP: If you lose the receipt for ANY Invisishield screen protector, just show the kiosk employee the screen protector, and point out their patented technology. They shouldn't have an argument there, and should be able to replace it for you at the normal cost.
Anyone come up with a better phone/screen protection strategy?
Best is the "rubber only" Otter Box case. Comes with the rubber cover screen is open then add a stick on protecter. I have abandoned the battery door altogether.

Seems like a good idea I just ordered a 3800mAh extended battery. Perhaps your idea will work for that case mode. Will let ya know
Its great. I took a small pair of scissors and cut out finger space around all the buttons. I cut the button overlays right out. Its the one that is the rubber case only.

you do know that when you buy an otterbox you get a lifetime warranty right?(part of the reason for higher cost)
not many people realize that all you need to do is call them, and tell them something on the case broke and they send you a new one, (I don't know if scratches on screen is covered, but you could always tell them the plastic is coming loose, or one of the clips on the hard case snapped) not sure how many replacements they allow, have to look up full details on the warranty
but I have also thought about putting a screen protector on the outside, just never have (mainly for anti glare)
something else I SHOULD have done was cut a little piece of screen protector and place it over the camera lenses cover, it kinda frustrates me that not more phone producers don't drop that back a little so that it isn't flush with the back case, cuz as soon as you place it on a table and it gets slid around a bit, boom, scratches all over the glass in front of the camera lenses(otter box protects this from happening due to its design tho)
I used nushield and it works really good.

Do you have to verify a proof of purchase. I don't know if I have my box anymore, let alone the receipt? I'm sure if I look hard, it's somewhere around my house. I still haven't called since some guy stole my phone. I'm going with "the two clasps that held it together broke off and the rubbery outerskin is falling off". I wonder if that'll fly.
yes, all you ahve to do is call them and let them know you are missing a peace and they will send you the piece.

I honestly don't know the RMA guidelines for Otterbox. I have since upgraded to a Trident Electra Case, since it comes with an extended battery. I emailed the company, explained my situation, and because I purchased directly they were able to look-up my info (Lost receipt) and have sent out a free replacement.
Trident Electra Extended Battery Case for DX & DX2
As I mentioned above, I now use the Trident Electra case. Here are some pros/cons...
Pros:
1) Extended Battery - 'Nough Said
2) HIGHLY Durable (Dropped from 3 levels of scaffolding in construction area - No Damage)
3) No Overheating - Issues that have been somewhat documented with some Otterbox models
4) Well Made - The materials and design are great!
Cons:
1) Belt Clip - WILL break in no time, with very little pressure
2) Camera Lens Protector (Separate self-adhering plastic film) - Is tinted blue and will turn your photos blue if flash is used.
3) Kickstand - VERY hard to open and is easy to break off from trying to open/close it forcefully.
4) Case is hard to open and could've been designed better in this aspect.
I HIGHLY recommend this case as it gives you the protection you'd expect from a sturdy case from Otterbox or Trident AND it comes with an extended battery which practically doubles battery life! Just make sure you spend the extra cash and buy direct from their website. It has a lifetime warranty and if you lose the receipt, they can lookup your info.
This phone doesn't need any of that crap.
Seriously. I tried to destroy mine one day and all i could do was crack the digitizer. I wanted it to die (well, at least the individual I was talking to at the time, but by proxy)
Mine flew off of a ride at the fair and noting happened at all. And i didnt have a case on. True story
I have a screen protector, and a hard back only case by, Qmadix It works really well and only adds a little bit to the phone its self.
Ok here is the deal.
I normally use a gel case on my phones. There fit the phones well and cover everything that needs to be.
But they make the phone a lil bit thicker and hide the phone. Normally I get a phone and want to see it for itself.
Well I brought a metal bumper and it looks nice.
But I see that the camera sticks out and touchs when sitting it down.
My girl says that the camera screen is glass and won't break or scratch, but I still like for the phone to not sit on it.
So I am wondering if there is anything I can put around the camera to protected.
I was thinking of something like a form pad so the camera wouldn't touch but idk.
I know some will say get one of the charger back but then it makes the phone thick and defeats the point.
Whole new lens cover assembly cost about $6 on e-bay and shouldn't be difficult to DIY, but you could get some small piece of thick one sided foam tape, cut it to shape and stick around the cam, why not. If it gets dirty or comes off, make new one. Personally I have not seen anything like that commercially, wait, actually there is lens mount you can glue around cam, it comes with small tele lens that you can attach on top.

Yea I saw the replacements on eBay for like $10ship and I'm a tech person so I can replace it no problem.
And I didn't thing about the lens. I know they have a metal ring.
I'll check into everything.
Thanx.
I have a metal bumper also. I had an extra home button sticker that I sticked near the camera lens. Now when I lay flat down it doesn't lay on the camera lens.

I use skinomi clear skin. They include a skin for the bottom half of the camera. When my phone is laying flat the lens doesn't touch. As a bonus since you're using a metal bumper, the side skins can act as an all around protection between the bumper and the chrome trim. Much better than what the bumper comes with. But you will probably need to remove the ones on the bumper first as it will become too thick and the bumper won't fit properly.

I am updated to Kitkat,unrooted. so s-view no work for me. Thats why I took the front flap of my white spigen slim armor view out, and let the back side on on white note3 ... gives it some kind of a z10-ish look.
coming back to the point, my case does the job well, apart from protecting the sides from scratches, by keeping the camera lens from having contact when lying flat. well, quite a hefty investment if you want to protect your lens only. but since I already purchased it, it does the job decently, and I dont find it that much of bulky. anyhow, bulky or not, to me - this is a question of habit. i mean, now that I look and take a grasp of my old i9100, it seems very small now, which wasnt the case some months back my two cents

Yea i got a normal gel case for the phone. I have always use those without problems but i got a bumper for the note 3. It just feels better, so trying to keep the phone slim.
I thought about putting a dot of hot glue somewhere around it to lift it up. But i just didnt wanna do that to a new phone.
I want a square that would fit right around the camera and stick to the back plate.
Ill keep looking
the replacement lens piece is like $10, just something to think about
I am planning to buy a GadgetShieldz complete body protection. The question is does Z U need it? And if I put a screen protector will the pencil write properly on the screen?
Thanks!
Old topic here on the forum. Yes you probably should think about buying a screenprotector if you going to use a pen. Its an ordinary plastic sheet on the screen molded on and it will get scratched VERY easy. Also the oleofobic coating will wear off with time. In about three months you are going to notice the sheet getting more of a rough texture where you push and swipe your fingers often.
I would say that the stock screen protector has very a low quality in terms of its lifetime and ability to resist scratches.
Examples of quality screen protector:
http://glass4m.com/collections/sony/products/mocolo-for-sony-xperia
and
http://glass4m.com/collections/sony/products/glass-m-sony-xperia
About the GadgetShieldz. I have never heard of this company before. But its the same bull**** crap salesman promises that its "precision manufactured" and "scratch proof" that you see all around Ebay and small websites out there on the interweb.
Its a plastic sheet okay. Enough of the bragging about the so said quality. Plastic is plastic. Or vinyl or whatever it is.
If you want a screen protector. Try out a solid sheet of glass. Like the ones I linked above or if you find something promising out there.
Edit: Oh yeah I forgot. No a screen protector will for the most not disturb the ability to discover pen input. And If you do notice that input skips now and then you can always modify the sensitivity of the touch panel by editing a text file

Thanks a ton friend. Firstly, I have been using GadgetShieldz for about 5 years now. On different phones, it has performed beyond my expectations. However, my question was simply this, that will I need a screen protector, to which I've got my reply, Yes.
And secondly, will using a protector hinder in use of a pen. To which you said, No. But would like if someone using GadgetShieldz replies with their feedback.
But thanks a lot..
I have no experience with the gadgetsheildz so can not comment but i have the Mocolo glass protector (from Superusers link above) on both the front and back of my ZU. My ZU already had a few tiny scratches on the original ASF which have now all but vanished with the mocolo glass in place.
However after testing with both pen and pencil and a coin to test the screenwrite input ability (All worked well and recognition was pretty smooth) the mocolo appears to have picked up a few micro scratches around the area i tested. I Cant be sure what caused it to scratch but i decided to not to use anything other than my finger for input and the write/text input isnt a feature i use much.
Other things i noticed are that although the ZU is huge and can be rather awkward to hold on occasion, i found with the front and back glass applied it has become "more" awkward as it now feels so slippy when holding and it definately moves around the table top a bit too freely for my liking...
Also consider the weight. With both sheets of glass in place there is a definite increase in the overall weight of the device. Many will say the increase is negligible but i find coupled with slippy hand feel, the slightly heavier package just adds to the overall awkwardness of the device.
However there is peace of mind knowing the original glass underneath is well protected :fingers-crossed:
I'm sure these issues could be rectified with the use of a gel case on back which i am considering as my ZU looks amazing and the above glass protector fits like a glove but the phone feels more fragile/vulnerable than before.
My backside has cracked. And I like it. Because it shows that my mocolo did the job it was designed to. :good: I might buy a new set later on. It has not affect my user experience because there are no sharp ends or pieces of glass that can hurt me.
What I like about it is that it makes the z ultra rigid and more durable. Without the sheets I can easily bend my device so I just find it positive to have the sheets. And I just love the extra weight and feeling of glass

When you say the back has cracked do you mean the glass underneath the protector has cracked, or has the mocolo glass cracked?
The worry is the front underside glass cracking which from all accounts renders the device non functional to any touch.

a question about screen
Hello everyone,
This is my first post here. I have ordered Z Ultra which will be delivered most probably tomorrow. After ordering i read so many complaints about the screen self breaking problem in Xperia Z series and Sony is not covering it in warranty. I am confuse whether to keep the phone or should i return it. Or is there any way to save or protect the screen. Will applying tempered glass protector solve the problem. People has complained screen cracks even after few days of purchase. I am worried about it, dont want to waste my hard earned money
Please suggest guys about the protector.
Thanks in advance.

If you keep it out of your trousers pockets and not placing it where it can be bent (Yes the Z ultra can be bent very easy) .i.e. for example between your doorkeys and heavy books in your bag or tight pockets in your skinny jeans. Or subjecting your device to fast temperature changes for example from direct sunlight indoors to minus degrees winter outdoors and vice versa. Keep it in your pocket to ease the temperature change etc.
Think about the phone like its a glass oven baking dish because it has two safety glass sheets and addition to that it has air trapped inside it because the Z ultra is waterproof or at some level at least (1meter/30min?)
If you are careful where you put it then you don't have to worry that the screen might self crack. I hope I did not scare you now.. :silly:
I have not had an issue with my screen yet at least so you can relax
I put an illumishield screen protector over the stock screen, because of what I read about scratches. So screen protectors are from and back.
Getting the DSC-QX10 lens, so I got the adapter SPA-ACX3 for XZ. Lens locks onto the back of mobile ? Phone .
Plus, I wrap my XZ in a microfiber cloth , and carry in my messenger bag, with NFC Bluetooth headphones .

I wish I didn't listen to the people that told me I didn't need on for the i9100. I had to live with that scratch for nearly 15 months.
Got one from day one with this, and will do for all future phones until I can trust there won't be a single scratch over the life of the phone.

Got onE!!
Anyone use these? I bought it and am giving it a try. It was real easy to apply.
Spigen Camera Protector
Word, refraction.
No need for this. The outside lens are the built in lense guards!* By adding an additional layer of glass (a optical element) you introduce a potential litany of optical issues that to a greater or lesser degree will certainly degrade the image and potentially the AF performance. Samsung went to a lot of trouble to reduce lense flaring too, don't undo that!
A good case with raised cam guards is far superior protection.
*these are relatively cheap and easy to replace. They are glass and wouldn't scratch unless you rub the grit into them. Simply dry wipe with a microfiber cloth to clean.

No anti-reflective coatings. Tempered glass isn't known for its flatness.
It's like putting a $16 UV filter on a Heliopan UV filter, pointless.
&
The protector cost about the same as the factory lense protector.
Well ok , but again pics and videos look fine enough for me. I'm not comparing whatever it is your pointing out..lol I'm just sharing my thoughts with what I have

Fair enough.
Because it's not back coated with an anti-reflective coating(s) the first most obvious problem could back reflections from the sensor or other optical elements causing ghosting. The factory protector and lens elements do have this.
If not perfectly flat it introduces distortion to the images. Some light is also lost due to refraction by the untreated glass as well just by adding another optical element.
Well it's only been one day and haven't taken many pics but so far I'm happy with it. The main reason I wanted it is the fact that the camera lenses are always exposed and when the phone is in and out of pockets, slid around on tables, always getting touched,if it does get scratched it's easy to change and inexpensive. All the arguments against a protector are just like a UV filter on DSLR lenses. And that's still not a closed case with a definative answer.

My Note 10+ is 2.5 yo and used in a dusty environment plus I live in the desert. It's in a Bolt case and it's factory protector is actually polycarbonate I think. I try not to grab it there when in my pocket as it makes a convenient gripping point and only use a clean dry microfiber cloth to clean it*. No scratches, it's holding up well.
With DSLR's there is no protective element on most lens to begin with, there are a few exceptions**. The front element is somewhat protected by the hood and most even on L glass aren't terribly expensive.
A good filter like the brass ring Heliopan UV filter: -Makes cleaning easing
-With front vented lens it's the final dust seal and helps reduce the amount of dust the lense sucks up... which is important.
-It will sacrifice itself and help absorb impact G's when $hit goes south.
The biggest hassle with the factory phone lens protector is replacing it. The rear cover likely must be removed. That's probably a none issue as it will need a battery in a year or two if heavily used and it can easily be replaced at that time if needed.
*avoid touching any optic elements with fingers, this will scratch them eventually as fingers easily pickup fine grit.
Do Not use anything other than a thick clean microfiber cloth to clean. Dry is ok, but shake it out first, wet if needed... use your best judgment.
Wash the microfiber clothes with ammonia water, and use RO water to rinse.
**in some extremely high dollar Canon telephoto lens the front element is a protective flat lense. The lense behind it costs hundreds of dollars to replace, it's not a $70 lense! A good Heliopan UV filter is actually about the same cost as the front element it's protecting in most applications
That said Heliopan's were always on the end of my cams.

It is too much price for camera protection! I applied a phone cover on my S22+ which also covers the camera and gives good protection.
