[VIDEO REVIEW] Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit for XPERIA Z3 - Xperia Z3 Accessories

Nice basic case, all ports are cut out and my Magnector adapter works just fine!

Are you using a screen protector? I like these things, but unless they modify it so my Skinomi doesn't bubble, or someone finds a TPU screen protector that plays nice with the Bugdroid, I can't use it.

I use a glass screen protector from XtremeGuard, they have a sale now. It's $6 shipped
check the link in the description & use code BF90OFF

I prefer TPU screen protectors generally. I'll think about it though.

Most of the wet applied ones, like Skinomi.

The cruzer TPU case won't really fit in the Z3 if you use any tempered glass that's around 0.3mm thick. (actual experience)(had to flip around the edges to get the flaps cover over the glass)
I'm using the nilkin H+ tempered glass

I have this case and I love it. Only 2 problems I have and 1 is likely down to my skills at fitting a screen protector (very poor).
1. Screen protector from Sony that was included in with the phone bubbles around the edges with the case on. Mostly at the corners it is lifted slightly. Sits OK without case.
2. Magnetic Dock DK48 - does not fit with the standard adapters, needs modification of dock adapter or case.
I have ordered a Magnector to get around the dock issue for now. I may try the XTREMEGUARD but I'm struggling to find one in the UK.

iloom flexible glass screen protector vs spinge neo hybrid case

I recently got my note 3 and need to protect it properly. I got the iloom flexible glass screen protector and have been looking at a few options for a case:
- samsung original flip wallet (expensive!)
- spinge neo hybrid case - which i think i prefer for being sober, slim and seems sturdy
- Feel free to suggest a nice quality case - slim, non obtrusive.
But i have a doubt if the spinge case wont damage the screen protector on the edges. Saw a review of the neo hybrid (i think its the one on the spinge website) and the reviewer's note3 had that screen protector problem, a little damage on the edges because of the case - it lifts the screen protector a bit.
Do any of you have any problems like these with the neo hybrid? I assume it all depends on the screen cover, on how much surface it covers and if it gets tucked below the cover.
Anyway, please feel free to give me your feedback and opinions. They are very welcome.
Thanks
I have the Spigen bounce. Love it. The neo hybrid is nice but the outer plastic can crack if it hits the corner when it falls.

Seems very nice also. I somehow missed it when i was browsing the cases. And do you have a screen protector? Does the case mess with the screen protector?
I do. I have a tempered glass protector with the spigen bounce. No problems with it. It won't mess with film protectors either. This is the case with my protector. Page 64 closer towards the bottom of page.

Great feedback. Thank you guys. I just ordered my spigen bounce case from amazon and cant wait for it to get here.
Again, thanks for everything.

[Q] s-pen/stylus with screen protector

how well does stylus work with screen protectors, anyone had good/bad experience?
I am looking at buying anti glare one
i understand that there is 'increase touch sensitivity' mode in settings that can also help?
Well all are bad after time, I mean the pen doesn't slide good and that's why I use tempered glass.

I have a mime feather tempered glass and the s pen works just like nothing is there. I'd assume any of the tempered glass covers get the same results.

i have seen these tempered glass on sale but they all look chunky, are they really much noticeable in terms of weight and thickness?
looks like i might have to get one since i do want to use stylus with no issues
I've got the iloome Flex and love it. Only about .12 mm thick compared to most tempered glass protectors that are around .40-.60mm thick. Zero effect on stylus

Considering that witht the seperate s pen digitizer you can use your pen juat aboce without touching screen protector should have zero effect on it.

I'm using an Anker Xtreme Scratch Defender screen protector and am having no problems with the s pen.
No Worries...
I use amzer shatterproof screen protector on my N3 and am also using the stylus from a quite long time and I have not faced any problem in using it...its working smooth and fine...yes tempered glass screen protector works well but I would say my screen protector is also working really well...
Don't worry about what screen protector you get (except the real rubbery ones/wet apps) whether it be tempered glass or pet when it comes to the s-pen. Get the one you want, try the s-pen out and if it's too sticky replace the tip with the plastic tips included with your phone. The one that's installed out of the box is the rubber tip so it'll stick to pet more and function better with tg. The plastic tip slid easily on both. Personally I liked the rubber on tg because the resistance reminds me of actually writing with a pencil.
You have to look very carefully at the tip of the replacements and you should see a difference between some of them. I believe 3 rubber ones and 2 plastic ones are included in the replacement tips.
My personal recommendation (I've tried the spigen tr, spigen ultraclear pet, 8 dollar ebay TG, and Nillkin H+) is the Nillkin H+ which is about $16 if I remember correctly. Perfect tempered glass screen protector and the price is significantly lower than spigen and iloome(except flex).
Edit: and you shouldn't worry about using increased sensitivity or anything, I personally haven't heard of a case where the screen protector has caused issues.

Ya a normal PET one will usually do the trick, but on such a beautiful screen the smudge marks which gather more on PET just ruined it for me, not to mention the tackyness. If you ever want to treat yourself pick up this guy (included UK link for you),

I'm using the mime feather light and it's amazing .smoother then stock imo.
The S-Pen does not use the capacitive digitizer and "Increase Touch Sensitivity" will do nothing. If you read up on the way the Wacom digitizer for the S-Pen works, you will see that the digitizer tracks the S-Pen's location above it and S-Pen itself is what signals when contact was made and how much pressure was applied, so the thickness of the glass doesn't matter as long as it is in range of the Wacom digitizer (where the pointer is visible).
I use the crystal clear from spigen and changed the tip of s-pen to plastic one and it works flawlessly.

Xperia Z2 Screen Protector and Tempered Glass list

Please list out all the company making tempered glass and screen protectors here
Spigen
Suncreast

I have only seen muvit tempered glass for Z2 on mobilefun.
Anyone have any experience with that brand on any other phone. I use the Nilkin tempered glass on my Z1 and I am really happy with that so hoping Nilkin will release for Z2 as well.

Are you keeping your Z Ultra once the Z2 is released? I'm debating if I should keep it or not.
I've always used Zagg HD version and never had issues. Does anyone know if any of the listed screen protectors as well as the tempered glass are waterproof? This device is water resistant so say i spend some time with under water pictures. Will i have to worry that my screen protector will fall off?
What's the benefit of putting a tempered glass screen protector on top of a glass phone? Glass on glass?

I would bet they are water resistant, at least to a strong degree. The benefit is the same when using a screen protector: that you don't damage the original glass. Also its real glass, so it retains the feel of glass.
Nilkin had me at "Curved edge". Gonna be ordering one
Just ordered one to Germany. But i have chosen registered mail for 2$.
Just found the SPIGEN Oleophobic Coated Glas.tR Nano SLIM for Sony Xperia Z2, pre-order on Ebay :good:
That's Spigen UK, no doubt available other regions too.

Umm, I have two questions.
1. Since its glass and not plastic sheet, doesn't it add extra weight to the device?
2. Is it crystal clear? I usually order these.
http://www.clarivue.com/sony-d6502-xperia-z2-ultra-clear-screen-protector
They have glass ones tho, although a bit more expensive, but I don't really care about the price.
http://www.clarivue.com/sony-d6502-xperia-z2-xt-tempered-glass-screen-protector-cover
Edit : Make that 3 questions, 3rd would be, is the protector for both back and front or front only?
My Nillkin came in yesterday, bit disappointed in the rear protector. I thought it would be the same as the front, I guess I'll have to order something better for the rear like a wet mount one.

I haven't seen it off of the backing paper yet being that I don't have the phone yet. It has the typical green/blue hue on the edges that you normally see on clear glass(which really isn't clear), so it's technically not crystal clear. Being that it's so thing I'm sure it's effectively clear.
Which one shall I get?

Hmm, just wanted to know if it'll affect the screen clarity in anyway. I like screen protectors which act like they're not even there when it comes to viewing the screen.
Guys i bought Nilkin from dx-box they sent me for Z1C then they told me they were gonna send again for Z2.I bought magnetic charging cable as well from same place and they sent me again wrong one for Z1.Be aware about this website.
I looked at that nilkin glass screen protector and I looked at the pictures and it looks like there are no cutouts for the front facing speakers. Isn't that going to muffle the sound or damage the speakers?

Isn't the magnetic cable the same for the Z1 and Z2?
Also, is there anyone selling just a non-glass rear protector for the Z2? I like those because it makes the back more grippy and makes me less concerned about setting it down anywhere. I don't like front protectors.
I was wondering if someone found a front AND back set with tempered glass? Couldn't find any. I currently have this on my Z1:
http://theglass-m.com/products/glass-m-premium-tempered-glass-screen-protector-for-sony-xperia-z1
Have anyone who installed tempered glass and put it into water, will it peel off and unable to stick to the screen??
I gonna buy Z2 so i need dual layer of tempered glass for front and back. I do search online but unluckily there is nothing show for dual layer(front and back).

Tempered screen protector and case

I picked these up on Ebay for my Zuk. Tempered glass fits well to edge of screen, and the back cover fits perfect as well, and recesses the buttons slightly to prevent accidental presses.

Don't buy it as it reduces the touch screen quality dramatically. It got into the bin after few hours.

Screen protector? My phone didn't come with one.
I hope you aren't trying to peel off the white coating or something.
I just got my Nillkin case. Here's a few pics: http://imgur.com/a/OWkaX
The case fits the phone quite nicely and barely adds any bulk. The back has a nice texture on it which makes the phone slightly less slippery. There was a also a plastic screen protector included in the package.
I also got this case: http://www.zukmobile.cc/lenovo-zuk-z1-smart-phone-case-black-green.html
It feels slightly flimsier than the Nillkin case and the material isn't as hard. The surface has a soft feel to it.
It also came with a screen protector.
You can get one by gearbest for 6$

I've tried this, not very good or I was just unlucky, the glue stayed under the making it impossible to stick to the screen.
Any good and cheap recommendation?

Has anyone found a Matte screen protector that works with a full case for the S7 yet?

Has anyone had better luck than I at finding a case and screen protector, preferably one with a matte finish, that work well together on the S7 (non-edge)? I generally use Spigen cases as they are slim and slightly wrap around the front of the phone. However, this caused my first two screen protectors (both plastic) to bubble up around the edges and eventually peel off. The best was the Skinomi but it only lasted a few weeks longer than the first one I tried.
From reviewing most threads it looks like most people have either went the route of either a) skin + screen protectors or b) case + no screen protectors on their S7 due to slightly curved nature of the screen. But being as it's now September, I was hoping there would have been some better options to fully protect the phone. I'm hoping to hear if anyone has found a good combo.
Thanks in advance.
-J
Has anyone found any matte screen protector that works with ANY s7 case?
No luck? I just put a Spigen Neo-Hybrid and immediately the BSE cover bubbled up.
The Tech21 matte screen protector works with my Tech21 cases, which have quite a lip, so I assume it'll fit other rugged cases too.

I paid £16 for mine here in the UK off ebay. They are very pricey but I am very happy with it. The anti glare makes such a huge difference. Equally it does feel like it will last.
The tactical case I got seems very rare to source here in the UK as well from anywhere other than tech 21. Ended up paying £30 for that!
