Hi all,
searching for an invisible, thin protection film for my Topaz I found this website
http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/htc-to...s-screen-protectors-covers-cases-shields.html
It is exactly the same shield you might know from other manufacturers, but look at the price: 6.99 and free shipping included!
To make it short: Delivery was fast, the product is excellent (I have one of those expensive ones on my iPod so I can compare), and the installation is very easy. They even have an explaining video on their website.
I can recommend this product to everyone.

Hehe.. the fact that they refund to whoever who posts reviews abt them online...
wondering if these reviews are genuine or not.
No offence ottoben.. I'm just thinking out loud. I got my Shieldz too.. Pics here:

It's ok to me to say what you think. But I really think their product is as good as the much more expensive ones and that's what I wanted to share. BTW I dit not apply for the refund...
I have these too, and have found them excellent, however, the screen protector part is a little too "rubbery" for my taste - I feel that my fingers don't slide about as easily on the screen, therefore, I use the gadget shieldz for back and sides of the device and the standard HTC screen protector on the front - gives me best of both worlds IMHO
Ordered now - lets see when it turns up and if it's any better than the InvisibleShield...(that was rubbish tbh)

Yup.. exactly. I tested my friend's Cruise too, with the screen covered with it too. Totally unacceptable for me on the screen. Using a stylus makes it much worse.. so I applied it on the back only.
My friend's Cruise apparently had Invisible Shield.. and I think the rubbery-ness is about the same. I do however feel that GadgetShieldz has less wavy effect, thus, it looks better
Price-wise.. forget IS. Ya don't need the fancy packaging, spray bottle or a card. GS is worthit.

After seeing Mask post from another thread on the matt cover, i had order and using gadget shieldz now...
I had Invisiable shield on my previous Diamond 1.
Overall, i feel gadget shield is thinner than Invisiable Shield.... better feel, less rubbery....
but on gadget shield seems easier to be srcatch or stretch...
i had some stretch mark when i try hard to push the air bubbles.
This stretch marks is ugly as it is on the front screen area....
Just have to be extra careful during application of the shield
I also got the gadget shield, but my main problem is that it is about 2mm off on all sides. So I have small gaps between the pieces. Does invisible shield have the same problem?

You mean 2mm smaller than the device? I though that's normal..
I only applied at the back, so it's not a problem for me..
so does anyone who has tried out invisibleshield have problems with it not fitting perfectly because if it doesn't have problems I might buy one.
Gadgetshieldz
Hi all,
Just got my Gadgetshieldz this morning. The instructions are pretty good, easy to follow. However, for the pieces that fold over the sides, they don't stick well. The plastic is too rigid and won't fold and stick. I ended up with only the front screen and the backing done. I couldn't be bothered with the sides as they were too fiddly and weren't a perfect fit anyway. The opening near the speaker on the right wouldn't stick properly and am currently sitting hte phone on its side hoping that portion would stick when its dry. Overall, Gadgetshieldz looks like a good cheaper alternative to Invisible shield, (I tried tearing apart the smaller strips and they were quite robust) but usage on the diamond is really average. From what the others have said, I will most likely be tearing off the screen protector and buying another replacement if there is too much traction. Will make another post when it dries.
Cheers.
Jeremy

I concur on this one. I just installed Gadgetshieldz on the weekend. The battery cover portion has unsightly gaps at the top. The strips that are meant for the sides are way short and I didn't even bother applying them. Am probably gonna strip off the protection sheet and stick to a soft plastic case. They are a bit chunkier but more rigid than the silicone versions.
To anyone who gets air bubbles under screen protectors; URDOINITRONG.
Ensure the surface of both the device and the protector are COMPLETELY dust free; The smallest particle of dust, fluff, or hair will make an air bubble a good 3 or 4mm in diameter.
Other than that, ensure the edges line up straight and roll down from one side to the other. Seempulz!
I'd recommend GadgetShieldz.com.
£3.00 delivered and does the job well.

I bought one as well and fits perfectly. But installation made me crazy some pieces are too small for my fingers
Gadgetshieldz is looking like a great option to me..Ordering one now..Will see how it goes.
Can't imagine a better combination if there is, what could it be? The feel and look is outstanding guys.

I'm currently running this combo and I honestly don't believe that I could be happier with anything other than my Black UAG case with the "Nillkin Amazing H+" Tempered Glass Protector. Everything looks GREAT, feels like it could be an oem "industrial" variant of the Note 3, and best of all, SUPERIOR protection all around the phone. I feel much, much more confident about the security and durability of my phone now that I've got it completely wrapped up all the way around. The Nillkin Amazing H+ TGP is a very solid, yet buttery smooth, screen protector that bonds to the screen sooooo well that no one else even knows that I've got a TGP on the front screen. The edges of this protector are sooo smoothly rounded over to where it meets the edges of my Note 3 that you don't really feel any gap in screen coverage at all. You can run your fingers up the side of the phone and they just glide right on up and over to the front of the phone ALMOST without even knowing that the TGP and the frame of the phone are totally separate pieces.
At first I was skeptical that this would work with my UAG case because before I had any kind of screen protector on the phone, it was already a very tight squeeze to fit it in the UAG case. I felt almost certain that any added thickness to the phone itself(the thickness of the TGP) would render my UAG case useless, but that was not the case. Yea, it took a tad bit more wiggling the phone around while trying to stuff it in the UAG case, but it popped right on in there just fine.
Everything fits together just wonderfully and I'm 100% satisfied that I went this route. I have no doubt in my mind that my VERY expensive Note 3 is protected from any drops, scratches, etc.(...not waterproof though =/ ) about as well as it's ever gonna be. Before I had my phone wrapped in this kinda of stellar protection, I would hardly let anyone use my phone for anything at all, let alone even touch it! But now, I feel comfortable enough that I don't hardly hesitate when 4-year old son asks me if I will let him hold my phone to flip through picture albums, watch his favorite movies and TV shows, play Angry Birds, or even draw me a silly picture with the S-Pen. If I ever, and that's big "IF", find myself in the market for a case/screen protector combo for this phone again in the future, I can just stop the search right there, dead in its tracks.....I'll be ordering the UAG case and Nillkin Amazing H+ Tempered Glass Screen Protector and calling it a day!!
....and one more thing....you better believe it...given the product availability and high rate of tech advancements we're currently experiencing, this combo WILL be part of my "arsenal" of accessories for my next phone, whatever that may be...Note 4?

So tempted to get one too after seeing so many positive reviews on UAG case. But there's one thing that bothers me according to some reviews on amazon, has UAG revised on the design and left a cutout for the thermal sensor below the bottom right of the bezel?

I have the same combo but my tempered glass is brando 00.2mm. No problems with fitting and doesnt bury the home button. You will not even notice that it is tempered glass since it is soooo thin. I suggest you consider it.

Where did you get your Nillkin TPG? I've looked on ebay but they all ship from China. I know they are Chinese but I fell more comfortable when they ship from the US. UAG cases are awesome btw. I have the white and black one.

I ordered mine with my Amazon Prime account in the weeeee hours of Thursday, January 16th around like 3:00am-4:00am and got a knock on my door from the UPS man the very next day, Friday, January 17th around 2:45pm....that right there is why I LOVE Amazon Prime!! =) Given that, you don't need to worry one bit about putting your money out there on Ebay to a sketchy/iffy merchant on the other side of the planet in China, while not really knowing if you'll receive your order in 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 1 month...or hell, quite possibly not even at all !! That's why I always try my darndest to stick with the "Fulfilled by Amazon" items on Amazon.com. Sooooo, anyway...lol...I got a little side-tracked there...my bad! :silly:
Anyway, what I was gettin at, was where I got my Nillkin TGP. I ordered it on Amazon and it was a "Fulfilled by Amazon" item, so I didn't have much of anything to worry about there. Just to make things a LOT quicker and a little bit more simplified for ya, I'll point ya in the right direction. Seriously though, click the link to Amazon at the bottom of this post, check out the Nillkin Amazing H+ TGP listing, gravitate the cursor on over towards the right side of the page and click "Add to Cart" and be done with it. A few days later when you receive it and carefully install it, you'll be looking this thread up to tell us just the same type of things that I also mentioned in my previous post..guaranteed.(Well, assuming that everything went well regarding your order, packaging quality, and item shipment, etc.)
Yea, it may only have a few customer reviews SO FAR, but take that with a grain of salt. As soon as I can get a spare chance, I'll also be adding my review for this Nillkin TGP. So don't hesitate to order one of these! Assuming that you know how to install it properly, or at least if you don't already know, do your homework and read all the advice here on these forums, read the instructions that come in the package (if you need to) and take your time putting it on your screen and you should be as happy of a customer as I am! Sooo, anyway, here's the link,,,,finalllllyyyy!!! lol :good:
Amazon: "Nillkin Amazing H+ Tempered Glass Protector"
So after experiencing first hand the poor figment of any tempered glass screen protectors I have deiced to create this OP. I have purchased 3 types of plastic screen protectors from amazon to see which if any will be a suitable replacement. I figured if I buy some and they are terrible I can always return them.
1. Mr Shield clear:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00OD...416363968&sr=8-1-spell&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
I had high hopes for these after buying them for my Nexus 9 and having s good experience. The ones for the Nexus 6 are a far different story. The fitting is so poor they cant cover my display. I believe that these were cut very poorly because you can't align them properly to fit even with their tiny size. They have a nice feel and are easy to swipe back and forth on while using the office but if they can't protect my screen then there's no point in having it. (Pictures coming soon)
2. iSmooth:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00O3OSBHI/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1416364063&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40
3. icarez: (coming Wednesday)
These looks just the the Mr Shield screen protectors above, except they are packaged better and come with better instructions. The downside is that they are again cut very small. I have learned that this is due to the curved nature that the ends of the display have, but its rather unfortunate that we are left with a screen that can't be fully protected. These also have a better feeling that the Mr. Shield protectors.
4. Spigen Crystal:
http://www.amazon.com/Protector-Spi...533171&sr=8-1&keywords=spigen+crystal+nexus+6
These are the best plastic screen protectors by a long shot. The fit and finish is far superior to any of the other brands that I have tried thus far. They are very thin compared to the other 3 I tried above. The costing allowing your fingers to slide across it with ease for people who prefer the gesture typing. The screen protector does cover the camera, and proximity sensor. Don't let this discourage you because they both work fine on my phone. The fit is much closer to the curves without causing issues. There is a fix for people with proximity sensor issues in the tempered glass OP. I would recommend these to anyone who wants a nice quality screen protector.
Update: from what I have seen, the Spigen is still your best bet. I have a couple as backups and I couldn't be happier. TG has been and still is very hit and miss but you can't go wrong with the Spigen Crystal screen protectors. I have no issues with my proximity sensor for FFC and its the only screen protector I've used since discovering it.
feel free to add your own choices and a brief description about the quality and whether or not you would recommend it.
I got the iSmooth protectors. A little difficult to install, but quite good once they're on. They feel almost like glass, they have a coating on them to prevent fingerprints too.

i ordered the invisible defenders. should be here tomorrow just ahead of the phone. never used them before as i've always gone with spigen, but since they're not shipping until next week i went with these. from a spec perspective, they sound every bit as good as the spigen crystals. i'll find out tomorrow/friday

Let us know how they are. The Spigen ones are good from past experience ( I won't buy their TG again) I hope they are offered with prime to make shipping faster.
I was planning on getting a glass protector, but after reading several posts here I see that is a bad idea.
I normally bought Zagg with my S4, but I'm not really sure what kind I want to get with my new Nexus 6. I absolutely HATE finger prints so anything that gets them easy is a no go for me.
for anyone that bought from SuperShieldz on amazon they just sent me this:
Dear Customer
We would like to inform you that the nexus 6 screen protector we sent to you is incorrect for the camera lens. The proper one will be send to you on Next Monday. Sorry and we apologize for any inconvenience.
Best Regards,
Ann
I would stay away from the iSmooth screen protectors. Received mine today and they are not properly aligned for the front camera as the protector covers it. Only reason I'm not returning is because I need something on the phone until the other screen protectors I ordered arrive.
My Xtreme Guards had the wrong camera cutout also. If all these companies have the wrong cutout, were they given the incorrect dimensions from Motorola when they all started cutting these out?

According to iSmooth, yes that's exactly what happened.
Thank you for purchasing our Nexus 6 screen protectors and writing a review on your experience with them. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced thus far with our product. Since we are extremely fanatical about our customers, I wanted to reply back to you so I could explain the errors behind the engineering of the Google Nexus 6 screen protectors.
I will point out that in order for us to get to market by the Nexus 6's launch date sometimes we have to make an educated guess with our screen protectors. This time, we failed with our cutout design.
Below are the key points that will point out where our screen protectors were either botched or made to fit this new device and the reasoning behind it:
1.) The cutout for the camera is a full camera width to the left of the actual camera -- this is obviously a mistake. However, the clarity of the screen protector will still insure that the camera is NOT affected by the screen protector. It is just customary that the cutouts exist. However, there will still be a little notch for no reason on your screen protector. We sincerely apologize for this error.
2.) The screen protector will NOT go "edge-to-edge" but that was done on purpose as there is a curved edge on the Nexus 6.
3.) If it did go "edge-to-edge", then the screen protector will lift up on the edges as it would not properly adhere to the curved edges.
4.) We decided that 95% coverage on the phone was better than having faulty screen protectors.
5.) Our screen protectors were also meant to work with cases which means if we DID cover the edges of the screen, then the case would force the screen protector to lift and cause a lot of bubbling and ruin the screen protector.
Please know that getting a revised cut of our Nexus 6 screen protectors is top priority at iSmooth - our customers are our #1.
If you would like to receive these updated screen protector cuts when we receive them, please email [email protected] with your name, mailing address and Order Number. When we receive them we will promptly email you and mail those corrected screen protector replacements out post haste with absolutely NO charge to you.
Or, should you need anything else or have any other concerns at all, kindly contact me at that same email address - I sincerely want to help and make this situation right by you.
Have a nice Wednesday and I hope to talk to you soon,
Channele

I'm updating the OP it appears like there will be no good screen protectors that are edge to edge with the exception of wet install ones which are a nightmare. I wouldn't risk a wet install with FF speakers but that's just me. I may just get a dbrand front skin to cover the gaps.

Thats what I am worried about the most. The speakers are rather large and I've had bad experiences with wet install screen protectors. They killed my LG G Pad 8.3 (even when I barely put any solution on it, some managed to get into a small gap). Anyway I guess I'll see what else is available.
i just need any of the three screen protectors i ordered to show up. This POS one they put on the phone out of the box is killing me. I swear, would it kill moto (or any other manufacturer) to at least put a half way decent one on the device out of the box?

I'm pretty sure it's not an actual screen protector, just something to cover it until it gets to your door.

Hi all,
Back again with another video- there will be a few coming over the weekend as I've had some accessories delivered! Thought I'd start big with a bunch of Orzly accessories.
So I've got the clear and coloured flexicases as well as two different colours of the Wallet case.
FlexiCase
Looks like Orzly have changed up their design this year for the FlexiCase. Traditionally, they've really only done the clear one. That's still here and from what I've seen across the boards, allot of people have ordered it, almost because it was the only option up until a few days ago. This is a decent case, it's clear so you can show your phone off, adds a decent level of grip with little bulk!
What they've added this year are a bunch of coloured FlexiCase which seem to be from an entirely different mould. They come in a multitude of different colours, and have both a gloss and matte finished. I'm pretty impressed with these, to the point that my phone is currently sporting the red FlexiCase as I type this! Again they add a good amount of grip, a small amount of impact protection with as minimal bulk as they can!
Wallet Case
If you've watched any of my Wallet videos before you'll know that I stand firm against their use. They're far too bulky and obtrusive for me to use in my day-to-day life. However I know there are a TON of people who do actually use them as I witness it daily. The Orzly offering seems to have gotten a lot better this year in comparison to their previous entries. They seem to have combined this new FlexiCase mould into the Wallet Case. Whereas last years OP3 had a hard grip on the inside, which could snap, this year they've gone with fully body flexible protection. This is the right decision in my eyes, it makes the case MUCH more viable as something that will protect your phone.
and heck, if you don't like the Screen Protector options that are out their currently. This could be the case for you, as it protects the screen as well!

Been using the clear flexi case for a while now and it's a solid case. can't really go wrong with it! Waiting for my wallet case from them now but if it's anything like their other cases for the OP5 it should be a solid product!
Thanks for the video! Currently using the clear flexicase with my wallet case arriving tomorrow, and those coloured ones look really nice! Case addiction!

Hi all,
Back again with another video- there will be a few coming over the weekend as I've had some accessories delivered! Thought I'd start big with a bunch of Orzly accessories.
So I've got the clear and coloured flexicases as well as two different colours of the Wallet case.
FlexiCase
Looks like Orzly have changed up their design this year for the FlexiCase. Traditionally, they've really only done the clear one. That's still here and from what I've seen across the boards, allot of people have ordered it, almost because it was the only option up until a few days ago. This is a decent case, it's clear so you can show your phone off, adds a decent level of grip with little bulk!

Thanks for pointing out how this woks with the matt and the gloss finish of the colored FlexiCases. Matt is better fro grip I think, but the gloss around the rim makes it look really nice, so it's a good combination. (previously I had assumed that the whole thing was matt and that maybe there was an all gloss version, as I think amazon describes these all as matt, so had previously (falsely) assumed that it was either/or with matt or gloss dependent on which style you bought. I cannot express enough how useful your videos have been for giving me a better understanding how these are really like in reality, so thankyou for showing these to us up close. After seeing this, I think I actually prefer the colored ones now to the transparent one, as the colored ones look like they don't suffer from picking up fingerprints the way any transparent one inevitably would, so would stay looking nicer alot easier, I reckon.
I do like the Wallet Case you showed in that video also. Are the inners just a similar material to the FexiCase, or are they actually the same mold aswell? (the flexicase seems to do a good job of protecting the camera at the back, so if it's the same, then that would answer my question about how the camera hole on the wallet case is. But if not an identical mold, how did you find the camera hole protection on the wallet case version?
thanks.
if anybody is interested in a second opinion on the matte cases, i just received mine, and decided to review it! https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...oneplus-5-arrived-t3633349/page4#post73031002

Thanks for this! Looks quite nice. Have you done the screen protector test with this one to see which ones fit in conjunction with it? (I remember you saying that the sleo screen protectors were not very good and that you preferred the orzly tempered glass as the best you have used so far for op5, but do you happen to know if the two are incompatible? (I remember from your other videos that the orzly screens are compatible with all their own cases, and with some of the otterbox ones, but would be useful to know which of the other branded cases that you thought were decent were also compatible with the better orzly screens, so that we know what all the viable choices are versus which ones definitely would not work together).
(I know you said you were going to a do a big vid that compares all the many combinations once you've received them all) but just checking in case there are any that you have tested out early. For example, which screen protector was on the phone when you tested the sleo case in this video? (or was the phone screenless in this one?)
thanks.

SLEO definitely look interesting, I would also love to see their compatibility, especially as it seems to be a new company that has popped out of nowhere!

Yeah, not screen protector on in this video. The SLEO/Nillkin definetley work as they don't go to the edge of the screen. I'm 95% the Orzly/CaseBase will work but I've not confirmed that!

Okay thanks. I already don't like the design of the Sleo screen. (all those weirdly shaped square chunks missing looks horrible in my opinion). Have not seen what the Nilkin one is like, but I don't like the idea of it not fully covering it (unless the case edge lip is enough to cover what is missing), but I guess I'll just have to wait and see what they're all like when you do the final video. So far for me though, I have a feeling it's going to be a tossup between either the orzly or the casebase. Those last two look very similar judging by your videos, but are there any noticeable differences in quality between those two?

Agree with this, SLEO and Nilikin just aren't doing it for me atm. Orzly is the best of a bad bunch sadly. Or you know, you could use a wallet case and not need a screen protector! Wallet case is pretty nice

Yeah, I've thought about doing that! That's the way I used to do it years ago on my old iPhone 5. Works completely well that way whilst the case is closed, however I discovered the hard way that if your phone happens to fall face down while the case is open, obviously there is nothing there to protect the screen from smashing, so I've always used glass screen protectors ever since. However the new design for the orzly wallet cases seem to have a bit of a protective lip around the front, so these ones actually might be okay without the glass on. How is it on yours? do you reckon the lip around the front is enough to stop the screen hitting the floor if it fell face down like that?
(I guess alot probably depends on how high it fell from, or what part it landed on, etc, so I still reckon a combination of the two would ultimately still be the most guaranteed way). But being as you actually own one for this model, it would be interesting to get your opinions on it all the same

Yeah unforunatly that seems like the only "case" where that a wallet case wouldn't protect the screen. I've been using the Orzly wallet case the past few days and it extreamly grippy so if i did drop it then it would probably be folded up

Yeah definitely the only chance, a lot of the time i'd say thwe case would be closed though, or it would close at landing or something. Think its just takes a while to get used to!

Very true, Yeah, I've never had such problems when holding it in my hand to use it. (the time it happened to me I was actually watching videos in stand mode. Embarrassingly, I was in the toilet at the time, so reaching over for the paper I accidentally knocked it off the small cabinet it was resting on, and it fell down screen first. (No idea why I just shared that story in public, but completely true!)
Admittedly this is a very rare scenario, so is unlikely to ever happen to most people, but just explaining how it is possible, and why I have never dared to go without a glass screen protector ever since, even though there are other almost 99% foolproof ways to shield it. The wallet case is probably still by far the best type of case as a good backup way if you had to go without a glass screen, as so far it's the only style of case that covers the screen at all, but they're generally very good. in that respect, and I definitely feel alot safer when that type of case is on compared to any of the others.
I do like to have the choice though, so I often still buy other types of cases just for flavor and variety, but I tend to be more cautious these days whenever careful to only use them in situations that I feel would be less risky ever since that incident.

Embarassing stories are the best lol, always.. the best
I always use tempered glass when I can too, and I agree that variety is great, but you always need to be cautious!
Heres a look at some of the cases that will be coming out for this phone. Allegedly there will be a case included when you buy the phone as well. I wonder if they will even bother with screen protectors for the inside display.
Not sure that I like those. It looks like they have a bit to cover the hinge so when its open there's a bulge on the back so it won't lay flat.
I think the included kevlar case will do the job to be honest.
Although I did notice slickwraps.com have skins for the Fold. I've had a few for other phones and they're pretty good quality. Pretty much the same as other skins I've tried.

Yeah was just thinking about that. You know, you won't really even need a screen protector for the inside screen. It's already protected when not in-use since it'll be folded up.
This new form factor is really gonna shake up things for the accessories market.
uk phone case
I wanna ask that galaxy fold cases are good to use? or not
because I am thinking to buy really need your review. would be very appreciated
