I recently purchased an Alcatel One Touch Idol 3, but returned it quickly due to a better deal on different phone. Unfortunately I purchased an ALCATEL ONETOUCH IDOL 3 Screen protector, KuGi ® Ultra-thin 9H Hardness High Quality HD clear Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector for ALCATEL ONETOUCH IDOL 3 5.5 inch smartphone and an Alcatel OneTouch IDOL 3 (5.5") Case, Kaleidio [Astro Armor] Hybrid Impact Protection Rugged Case [Package Includes a Overbrawn Prying Tool] [Silver/Black] from amazon and they are charging too much to return. I want to sell both for $11.00 shipped. PM if interested I take PayPal. Sorry if this is wrong thread. Just figured placing it here would get potential buyers
Thanks for looking.
Which phone did you get?
I noticed that some cases appear to cover the speaker grill. Are they really covering it? If so, does it affect audio volume etc?
Would like to get a case that doesn't cover the awesome front speakers, like the official shell, which is unfortunately unavailable as of now on amazon, so any recommendation is welcome! Thanks!

Hey all.
Does anyone know if the PanzerGlass for Note 3 will have any problems with bulk protective cases like the Otterbox Defender or Commuter?
I'm considering buying a tempered screen protector, as i'm all fed up by normal screen protectors that gives bubbles, when applying them on the Note 3's screen.:silly:
Right now I have a cheap screen protector, that came with a case I bought off Ebay.
Kind regards
Any glass recommendations for the BLU R1 HD device?
I am looking for the same. I found some on AMZN but dont know if to bite the bullet on them.
Amazon Screen Protectors
Honestly I wasn't going to put one on, because for me it's just a cheap backup, But after one day of use I already have a few very small scratches on the top right hand corner, Gorilla Glass 3 isn't doing great and my OCD is already bothering me.
If I get scratches on the actual screen area I'll lose it lol
On Amazon their are three choices and honestly they very well may all be manufactured by the same company based on the listings
BLU R1 HD Screen Protector [Tempered Glass], Popsky 0.26MM Ultra Thin 9H Hardness High Definition HD Scratch Proof Premium Screen Protector Glass Protective Film $8.50 w/ Shipping
[2 Pack] BLU R1 HD Screen Protector, Nearpow® [Tempered Glass] Screen Protector with [9H Hardness] [Crystal Clear] [Easy Bubble-Free Installation] [Scratch Resist] $9.99 - Free Prime Shipping
BLU R1 HD Tempered Glass Screen Protetor, Vikoo Scratch Proof 0.26MM Ultra-thin 9H Hardness Shatterproof High Definition HD Ultra Clear Screen Protector Glass for BLU R1 HD Phone - $8.30 with shipping
They are all 0.26MM
They all have 2.5D edges (which should match better with the 2.5d screen
They all have oleophobic coating
They all list Anti scratch/shatter/explosion.
My advice would be that if you want a backup protector and have prime go for the second one, otherwise the last one is 20 cents cheaper and most likely they are all the same screen protector just repacked by different companies which is extremely common. For a buck and some change more I'll probably go with the second one and let you know how it goes.
I ordered the one from Nearpow. I will update this when it comes in and I install on my BLU R1 HD.

Looking forward to your review as I'm looking at that one myself.
I got this one early on.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I61Y33Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
When I received the product, it didn't look like the one in the picture. Honestly, the shape and the cut outs looked like the other ones you listed. Fit was horrible. The Blu has a lot of curve and the edges weren't able to seal. Lots of lift around all the borders. Hopefully, these other ones are better.
Any updates on best screen protectors, no scratches yet, but i have saw a post or two about how easy this screen scratches.
The one I purchased arrived last night and I took off 6 for a .99$ plastic protector that I bought. That protector never say well so I gave the glass a try. Unfortunately the glass one sat just as poorly. Where the cut outs were for the camera and the LED the glass did not fit flush against the phone and showed as it was lifted.
I have taken both off and am just using the phone naked.
IMO
In my personal experience *most* screen protectors are created equal. My sister bought one off Amazon for 10$ and I bought one for 1.50$ on Ebay, When they arrived her's was in a fancier box but inside the boxes they had almost exactly the same contents. I tried scratching mine with a knife, and it didn't scratch (so it was glass). I'd say it is worth the risk (only 1.50 shipped in the same time as amazon one)

I bought the nearpow one and the fit was awful, because of the 2.5D glass it just didn't adhere on the sides at all and it wasn't even close to full coverage. I've chosen not to worry too much about the screen, it's a $60 phone.
I just bought a cheap case that has a bit of a lip to stop the screen from touching stuff. If I place it face down for example.

Same, because the phone screen is not square in the sides the protector don't adhere like it's supposed too
Does anyone like the nearpow ones from amazon? I bought the box with two of them but haven't put one on yet. I'm wondering if it's even worth trying since reports so far don't seem to good. I can see where it might be more challenging to make them for a screen with rounded edges. I have two of the phones now and like them very much so am interested in protecting them.
I purchased this one:
"BLU R1 HD Tempered Glass Screen Protector, Vikoo Scratch Proof 0.26MM Ultra-thin 9H Hardness High Definition HD Ultra Clear Screen Protector Glass for BLU R1 HD Phone"
from amazon.
Does not fit cleanly.
Given all these reports I am beginning to wonder if these are even tested or manufacturers just assume it will work once cut out to size.
Sadly, i'm just joining in the bad news. I purchased the Qosea Ultra-thin 2.5D 9H Hardness Crystal Clear Scratch Resistant Tempered Glass Screen Protector for BLU R1 HD and so far it-s the same result, it doesn-t stick on the edges because of the curvature of the screen. I'm still using it because i don't want to ruin the screen so i'll be waiting for the confirmation of a tempered glass that actually fits the screen properly.
I'm a bit baffled reading all the comments here and on amazon. It truly seems like nobody tested these things. I-m starting to think there are fake commenters because each glass protector have at least one 5 star review telling about how amazingly fits. Followed by nothing but unsatisfied people.
I have had mine since release and it's still in good shape. Don't see a point in getting any protector for such a cheap phone.
Well it's not exactly tempered glass but the reviews are better as to fit. Apparently it's a hard plastic. I'm getting this phone for my kid so something needs to go on there becasue he's not exactly not clumsy.

Hi people,
I've Just bought a Redmi note 4 32Gb Version.
I've been searching a lot for a perfect Tempered Glass Protector for Redmi Note 4 but I am confused with all the reviews where users have mentioned the small size glass due to 2.5arc display.
Can anyone here recommend A glass protector that properly fits on note 4 Screen like edge-to-edge , covering all the screen area.?
Regards
Honestly speaking, I never found a good tempered glass. After I tried a few, I came to the conclusion that they are all too thick, have edges where I cut my finger or feel uncomfortable to hold the phone.
That's why I decided that I only use thin plastic film for my phone's and I never had to regret.
From my point of view, the idea of tempered glass on a phone is wrong and does not provide any benefits.
Hi, I initially received 2 different brand standard tempered glass type that hardly came to the edges.
So I ended up buying this full face one from AliExpress.
Redmi Note 4 3D Curved soft Edge Carbon Fiber Full Coverage Sceen Tempered Glass Screen Protector PE Film For xiaomi Redmi Note4
I can't post a link in Q&A so I'll PM you the link.
I tried taking some photos for you but because it covers the whole screen including the 2.5d edge it's not even visible. I'm pretty happy with this one.
Thanx Wilderone
Will post feedback when I get the product

Hello guys, just got a moto Z and I'm really loving it, but wanted to know how tough is it. I never really liked to use cases or screen protectors and never broke any screen like that, but the moto Z looks so thin and fragile that I'm kinda afraid to use it without a case and in a single drop crack the screen.
I came from a zenfone 3 max and Xperia t2 ultra, can I expect the same durability with the Z?
Thanks a lot
A plastic phone would be able to handle impact. A tight metal unibody phone will have a cracked screen when it falls. And if you buy a flagship phone(not a mid-range one), you should buy a tempered glass screen protector and a basic silicone case(look on Aliexpress, the Carbon fiber one is good and not too big/thick).
I, for example, bought 2 tempered glass protectors for 4$, the rugged case for 6$, 2 Dbrand skins( Dragon and Carbon fiber) for the back for 20$, Nillkin Ultra Thin for 5$ and Nillkin Frosted Shield for 5$ as well.
When I'm home, the phone is butt-naked(the skin on the back adds a lot of grip thanks to the texture). When I go out, I choose a case I feel like putting on that day.
You can do whatever you like but if you want a phone that will survive drops without a case, get a CAT smartphone, a cheap-feeling plastic smartphome phone or a NOKIA "dumbphone".
But to precisely answer: my Z fell from chest height and hit the metal chair leg(which is parallel to the floor). Not a single mark was left.
Check this out for durability:

I don't how you use it, but plain Moto Z (no mods, skins, bumper ,etc..) is a bit challenging to get a good grip on, so you might be looking at more drops ...
Thanks guys, I guess i'll just get a skin for a better grip. Again, thanks a lot
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
