I'm after an adhesive skin/decal protector for the back of my Huawei Ascend Mate 7. I have a slim case for it already, but the phone is big already and the case makes it even bigger. I don't want to go without any protection because the back is slippery and it feels like it's going to slip out of my hand whenever I hold it. Skins seem to be available for the more common phones, iPhones etc, but not for the HAM7.
Does anyone have a skin for their HAM7? Would you recommend them? Are there any sellers in UK or Europe?
Anyone?
I use "Nillkin Frosted Matte Hard Case" - very comfortable and not made phone large.

Hello fellow nexus 6 enthusiasts. I would like your opinion on cases and screen protectors to find the ones that best fit my needs if you could take the time to read below:
I have already experienced the horror of breaking my baby (ie nexus 6). A couple weeks ago it slipped out of my hand onto the unforgiving pavement and the screen made a horrific snapping sound. I knew before even looking at it that it was game over for my screen.
After sending it in to motorola and receiving a replacement phone a few days later (at the cost of $175, I highly recommend this for anyone in a similar dilemma of fixing a broken nexus 6), I have finally gotten this awesome phone back up and running and I want to make sure it never gets hurt again!
I currently have: a Ringke slim nexus 6 sf black case with a standard PoS screen protector that came with the case for free.
I am looking to get a very sturdy case. Not that I am planning on launching my phone at hard surfaces anytime soon, but I am definitely looking for some of the most sturdy cases to prevent such a horrific event from ever happening again.
I loved having a battery case on my galaxy s4 from mophie and generally would only compromise the slimness and height / width of the phone for extra battery power. While I do love to keep everything slim, if a case has far superior safety results to its competitors at the cost of adding on a little bulk, I'm willing to make the compromise.
Ideally I would love to invest in a screen protector that also gives me the most protection for the least amount of bulk added on. I've been reading about curved glass plates that can be applied to iphones that are having great results but haven't found anything about there being a version for the n6 yet.
Any advice from experience or general ratings / research would be much appreciated. I have been doing my own research and reading up on my options, but with so much out there on the market I could use the help narrowing down my options.
Thanks!
As far as screen protectors go TG is very hit and miss and I wouldn't recommend messing with them in their current state. I recommend the Spigen Crystal film plastic screen protector. It provides he most coverage (for plastic) and feels the best. I've tried 10+ different screen protectors including glass and this was by far the best option.
For a case there are many OP's in this section but I know you are looking for a heavy duty case. The Trident case seems to be excellent and youcan buy it on amazon here below. I don't like bulky cases so I use TPU cases. I like my SupCase Beetle with the frosted back and the Spigen Ultra hybrid (the buttons suck in the Spigen but it looks nice). I haven't dropped my Nexus yet. (I dropped one of my ones that I had to RMA and it was fine) but I'm sure the case would protect the phone quite well.

thanks for the input, I'll check those out. Why are tempered glass protectors hit or miss? I never used screen protectors / cases (besides battery cases) with the purpose of keeping my phone from exploding lol so I'm only recently reading up on them.
After experiencing the horror of dropping my nexus I never want that to happen again, but it's hard to figure out which cases actually make any difference in a fall. I'm betting my current case would do little to nothing since it's a flimsy piece of plastic, but all the other cases look pretty much the same lol.
screen protectors, they help protect the screen from shattering / cracking, correct? or are they just another piece of plastic that I shouldn't count on to save my phone in a potential tumble?

They prevent scratches on the screen. If the phone falls, the screen protector is generally not going to protect the screen due to the lack of coverage to the very edges.
As for TGSP, I think the only two worth considering are the Orzly or the Jellycomb. All the others are cut too large and will not fully adhere to the screen, leaving a "halo" effect around the edges. Both of the above can be found on Amazon.
For cases you have a wide range of choices, my personal favorite after trying several is the Ringke Max. It's a solid case, IMO better than any Spigen available and will definitely protect your phone. At the same time, it's not overly bulky or large.
Another nice case that not many people talk about, maybe they don't even know it exists, is the PureGear Slim shell. Not as protective as the MAX but nicer looking IMO.
I'm not usually one to use a cases on my electronic devices. I like my phones like I like my women, naked with a nice screen protector.
But since the G3 seems to be made of some of the most slippery plastic I've ever held, I dropped it a few feet the other day and slightly nicked the corner of it. So I'm looking for a very simple case, but as I said in the title, I'm picky.
It doesn't need to protect it all that much, but one thing I can't stand is when the case comes up over the edge of the screen. I'll use an example of a case that someone posted on the "Show us your case" thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3337032&d=1432863723
See that slight "rim" around the edge of the bezel? It bothers me, which is why the two cases I've already bought are sitting at home unused. I need it to be flush, or even recessed from the front of the phone.
Does anyone know of a fairly basic case that won't have anything protruding up around the edges of the screen? I'd love one of those official replacement back cases from LG, but they're apparently extremely rare. So other options would be great.
Thanks!
If you dislike cases why not just get a full body clear skin from Skinomi or Bodyguardz? I'd recommend the LG Slim Guard Case. It has a raised lip but is super minimal, almost flush with the screen. This case unlike other thin G3 cases offers full body coverage/protection. LG also has the Slim Hard Case however this case does not offer fully cover the phone. The Ringke Slim is another good case option. It does have a small lip. Check ebay for the OEM cases if you can't find them on Expansys
I want to buy the white S7. For some reason it was never released in my country (Spain) not sure if it wasn't released in Europe as a whole. I don't know who takes these stupid ass decissions but whatever. The S7 white here is rare, it's more expensive, and I think they will not repair it if it breaks... idiots.
Anyway, so I want to be safe and protect against any scratches etc. How do I protect the phone without making it looking ugly with a goofy ass bulky case?
Gadgetshieldz full body protector. It's a wet installation and makes your phone have a naked look yet gives superb grip and scratch protection. Very satisfied with it. Using for past 3 months. Wish I had bought it sooner.
As replied above GS is the only alternative as of now. Just two things- their support sucks and keep your installed protector clean otherwise it will come off.
Well I realized GS will not help if my phone falls.
I think I may buy this one for the S7:

You don't even need a screen protector unless you are walking in a rocky surface or something which I will not be doing. I have NEVER droped my formed phones and if I ever drop it it will be the casual slip from the hand of a 5'9'' guy so not that much of a fall, looks like Rhinoshield is the best and they got a white one so it will look nice on my white S7.
The only critiques i've read is that the volume and home buttons become a bit stiff... not a problem, I don't need to constantly press the side buttons. I unlock the phone with the fingerprint so who cares about side home button. The volume buttons are also always set to the same and I barely touch that.
i can highly recommend ringke slim s7 (frost grey). Solid protection, very slim and it looks very elegant

Just bought the ringke slim aswell, and it sits nice in your hand and doesn't add too much to the overall size of the phone. Its a real pain to install a screen protector film on this phone because of the arched corners though! :cyclops:
I love my p20 pro, but i dont like the case options. The clear case that comes with it is too slippery. Im looking for something with a clear back or open back and grippy silicone, rubbery sides. So the phone wont slide out of my pocket
Option B, might be something similar to sandstone. Im almost tempted to spray some clear sandstone like material on the clear free case. Just on the sides
Ideas of a case i could use?

I'm using this case.
I just got a case by Nillkin. I can't post the link because of the new post rule, but search for "Nillkin Nature Series for P20 Pro". It's pretty thin and the sides have a grippy texture on the sides. I got it on eBay for about $8 so it's fairly expendable.
The official Huawei p20 pro silicone case has a lot of grip but its ugly
The official Huawei car case is beautiful and has a proper grip.

Hey folks,
what's the most sturdiest transparent case on the currently market?
I basically want to have the protection level of a Pelican Shield or Zizo Bolt (those are iPhone cases, but basically that's the "protection category" I am looking for), while still being able to enjoy the sweet twilight color on the back of my phone.
Does this exist? Any suggestions?
Also looking for the best glass screen protector to go with the case in order to eliminate the possibility of damage to the screen or phone when dropping it.
Check out the cases that UAG sell, I bought a Plyo from Amazon. I don't use a screen protector with mine. https://www.urbanarmorgear.com/collections/p20-pro
Hello.
I went for these pair from Amazon.
Huawei P20 PRO Case, Spigen [Ultra Hybrid] Flexible TPU Hard PC Back All Round Protection Phone Case Cover
gp/product/B07BS765MR/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Spigen Huawei P20 Pro Screen Protector, HD Full Coverage, Edge to Edge Protection
/gp/product/B07CGD26Q7/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The case has some nice notches on the rear to keep the cameras from touching the surface, although the protector is a few mm short and there's a collection of dust between that and the case but very easy to apply.
I'd paste the full link but I can't I'm sure you know what parts missing mind....
Got the UAG Pylo. Expensive as ****, but here's hoping that it will actually provide protection if the worst should happen and the phone drops. Thanks
after much research, I got the Ringke Fusion, eBay item number 323312202335 - has camera protection on the back as the surround sits higher than the lens instead of being flush like most of the others
doesn't cling to the back of the phone too, leaving the twilight colour looking just as it should, unlike the cheap case supplied with the phone
