Anyone noticed that the metal frame is easy to scratch. I have golden note 8 and I found many scratches on the frame although I always put it in the case
A case really does not offer 100% protection, When I had a S3, in the very first day I put a case, and did not remove the case for 2 or 3 months, when I removed the case to install a bigger sd card, found some dust and sand particles inside the case, that caused a lot of scratches, so, I learned to regularly clean the inside of the case to avoid the scratches, anyway, scratches will always appear, one way or another, with my note 7 and now with the 8, I put skinomi full body wet install protectors, the best scratch protection you can attain

Saw another post with link to it, but here's a review of the case. It's not super bulky. But add enough protection for most
Leave questions and comments
Just got one of these. My question is to pop the included screen protector off and just go with the one that came with the Nexus or peel that one off and go with the Supcase protector. I've read reviews of people suggesting both.
This is a durable feeling and looking case. I've always had UAG cases in the past but this one seemed to offer a little more protection.

I find a tempered glass screen protector under the plastic built-in one to be the best. It sits really flush this way and you can't see the halo in the glass screen protector because of the case.

If you do this, make sure you after you pop the built in screen protector off you scrape off the black adhesive that held it on or it will fuse to your screen protector and rip it off if you take off your case. Any small metal tool can be used but be careful not to scratch the case. After its removed you can use some qtips and a little bit of rubbing alcohol to clean any residual adhesive.
I didn't do this originally and my case was stuck to my screen protector for 2 months till I finally decided to try and force it off and it ruined my screen protector.
I'm going to keep my supplied screen protector on along with the case screen protector.

Good luck, sensitivity sucks!
No problems with sensitivity so far. I like the case. Little bulky but the phone feels safe.

The edges of the screen sometimes take a few tries to respond!
I have this case. Its fantastic for work. Its awfully bulky though! But, with that bulk you get great protection.
Its great if you need the protection. I typically remove the phone from the case when I'm home.

This is what I described doing in a different topic - used an X-Acto knife and it took about 10 minutes to get all the plastic protector's adhesive off, which I felt might stick or lift up the lip of their case on the actual screen protector I'm using.
However, I also found that the Supcase didn't sit perfectly flush on the Nexus 6 with my own screen protector after removing their plastic one - one longer side has a gap between the frame and my protected phone surface.
So, I am keeping this case as a backup, only.

Just got this case from EBay .I must say Dam good quality cases an holster love it..actually kind of like its design an fit better then Otterbox...feels more solid..
Had the case for a while its pretty good. Not a daily case for me as I switch when doing different jobs. It's actually kind of hard to get off that's a good thing for some people.
I've just had to return mine after using it for a few days. When taking pictures with the rear camera flash on, the flash and case don't work well together and the pictures are spoilt (first pic is with case, second without. You can see the tint that having the white case on causes). Disappointing as I have already had the screen break on me (first time ever!) and was happy of the extra protection that this case affords
For the most part I go naked with my N6. I am ordering one of these cases for when I go golfing and maybe some other activities where I want to have the best protection. I am keeping the supplied protector cause it will keep dust and water from getting on my phone. Which is, by the way, the reason I am going with this brand because most of the other "tough" cases don't have that.
How does this case fit around the speakers? Is it open letting dust in under the screen protector or are the speakers sealed?
They are open, dust can accumulate
I've been using mine for months now with no problems. only complaint is the camera port is long. Dust an small debris gets under screen protector, its slightly bulky but worth the protection. Both factory screen protector an case built-in on an notice a little touch sensitivity loss, but worth the protection! Add the fact that the N6 is water resistant an its damn near perfect!
My job entails me crawling around under houses in the dirt, so I'm looking for a case that will help protect the N6 from dirt and cover the screen so it hopefully doesn't get cracked. Does the Unicorn Beetle Pro sound like the case for me?
Yeah, the built-in protector will help a bit when it comes to dirt getting to the phone, and the shell protection is good for being single-layer. Plus, it has built-in covers for the ports.
I did find that dirt can still get in in the seam between its built-in cover and the shell frame, but it didn't reach the phone easily due to the inner glue line.
I'd offer my barely used Beetle Pro case, but I removed the built-in protector when deciding to use a different screen cover - then, I went with dual-layer cases for even more shock safety.

I purchased the Beetle Pro along with a intelliARMOR PRO edge to edge glass screen protector. Is the Beetle Pro the only case with a holster or something that actually covers the screen? Used to like the OtterBox, but they don't hold up well and don't think they ever made a N6 case.

I work in maintenance and am always dirty, greasy, crawling around and under equiptment. I use my phone a lot for manuals, pics, emails and such. I had the above case for about a week. I scratched the screen protector pretty quickly and noticed grit getting under the case pretty easy. I know it's not the greatest build quality, but quickly decided that 2 piece cases blow. I've bought a used tablet that had an otter box case and the back of the tablet has scratches all other the back from being on it.
Anyway I've learned that in my line of work, that a simple jelly type case and no screen protector seem to do best. The case is good for the occasional drop and no grit to get trapped between the screen and protector. I'm just very aware to keep it in my front pocket and nothing else goes in that pocket. I do remove the case occasionally to clean the phone and case if any grit gets build up, but it is usually little too none. If i do get grit in my pockect from dirt, welding, dust, etc. I just clean out my pocket best i can and the phone goes back in. No issues or scratches so far after a couple of months.
Not sure about tempered screen protectors, but IMHO anything that I can't remove easily to clean under is just asking for trouble with scratches. My two cents anyway.

Hey all, I know this is probably the same order that everyone else is looking for, but I also know that new product is released probably every week. I'm looking for a dry film that I can buy for relatively cheap (>$15 at the absolute maximum but usually not willing to spend more than $9) for the regular S7. I use a Spigen Neo Hybrid with the lip around the front so it has to be case friendly or at least work with that case. Also, I would prefer it especially for film if I at least got multiples in a pack, if I wanted to spend $10 on one protector I'd just try fiddling with glass again.
I'm currently using the Spigen Curved Crystal which is almost disgustingly brittle and scratches too easily. If this was just more durable it would be perfect. It always seems like there's one major drawback for every product so far.
Also, please don't suggest wet-apply ones like ArmorSuit, IQ, etc. I've tried them, and even in a steamed room I always end up with dust underneath, and at least with the dry ones I can get it with tape. With the wet ones no matter what I use - tape, even my own fingers with solution on it, I can't get it out and just cause more to go in. No more wet protectors, I can't do them. The reason I had to pass on the Edge which I otherwise liked more was because the only protectors that work for it are wet apply and I know I can't put them on.

Sadly Only Wet Install Films are of decent quality on the S7 Flat. For wet install, just take a bath with the shower, there should be steam in the bathroom after that. You can then proceed to install it on the restroom, don't worry about moisture as the S7 is IP68 Certified
i use them soft TPU screen protectors that you need to apply without water just like them old screen protectors. i buy them of aliexpress for like 75 cents a piece. I can give you a few tips for when your installing it like make your hands a bit wet so no dust comes off and only pull down a little bit of the plastic so you can line it up and then pull of the rest.
I tried so many screen protectors but most of them glass one's are fingerprint magnetes so thats why i use them soft one.s

I love it! Think they are way better then those old plastic screen protectors. They feel better when you swipe over the screen and when i first put it on my screen i had lots of small bubbles that where impossible to remove but after a day or 2 they where gone by them selfs and love the abti fingerprint coating. So overal im very happy with this one and not bad for a buck 50 and it came with a screen protector for the back side also.
Anything on Amazon. I went through 5 different protectors before I found one that was actually edge to edge.

Do you think it's safe to be without screen protector on OP5?
Sure it's safe as long as you don't mind the eventual tiny scratches or never drop the phone where the display hits a surface hard enough to crack. I use a screen protector mainly to avoid the inevitable tiny scratches (never completely rely on Gorilla glass) and on the off chance it helps in a direct display hit.
Its all up to you but I never fully trust a bare display as I've gotten burned by the tiny scratches on previous devices. Plus a non-scratched display helps with resale value.
Depends on the case you use, if you use no case then no, if you use a case with a decent lip protection then yeah.
I wouldn't recommend it. I removed the SP on mine because i felt like it was getting too many scratches and losing sensibility and Gorilla Glass 5 was fine for normal usage. I totally regret it because now i have a lot of small scratches and one very noticeable on the bottom, and I take good care of my phone, the worst thing now is to find a good and cheap screen protector, not even the plastic one come close to the one installed.
Yeah remove it.... The quality of the screen protector is crap. Here using a OnePlus 5 without case and without screen protector. Not a single scratch. Day one user.
Remember to put the phone alone in your pocket. And select the type of pocket you put it in.
I had a similar question and people had some insightful answers here:

Apparently the GG5 is not as strong in scratch resistance as GG2. The op5 will scratch easier if you were coming from a oneplus one.
Every phone I've had got scratches eventually except for the Nexus one lol. I haven't gotten any on my oneplus 5 yet. I had three screen protector on all but maybe a few days total. Because I'm always shoving my phone into the dirty chest pocket of my florescent work vest, there is going to be sand and dirt occasionally getting on the screen and that will likely scratch it eventually.
using a Spigen case along with the preapplied screen protector that came with the phone itself
Hello im Veronica and this is my first post owing this phone and im loving it! i bought a glass protection that come is curve design but it didnt fit well bubbles of air started to appear and i took it off
Have you tried the liquid protection ? i dont know the name of the product but is a liquid you put in the screen and it makes it hard
Please help me what do you use to protect it?
I use the uv Loca glue and glue on the curved tempered glass protectors on mine
Hi veronica. I own now an s8, but my previous phone was a galaxy s7 (the flat one), in which I had a tempered glass protector. But now, with the curved display of miss s8, the tempered glass I've found are not so great. I really don't recommend the liquid protection , that supposed nano tech solution. I've seen it, and its effects are practically none. U can't tell when u you've applied or not.
As the previous post says, the better solution is to take a tempered glass and UV glue between that and the gorilla glass, and dry it in the UV lamp. That way, u get a better protection, but need to try take out the air bubbles that may get in the process before dry.
I'm sorry if my English can't be excellent, because it's not my original language.
Greetings to u.
I also would be interested in mounting a tempered glass screen protector with a liquid adhesive and then drying it with a UV lamp. The end result looks very good, but I wonder if it does affect the screen of the phone. In case that I would like to remove the foil or replace it ... I do not know if the adhesive is "peaceful", if it leaves residual traces or I risk of having to change the touchscreen at the same time with the glass: D
I'd like to buy this: https://bit.ly/2SSQMZT (Aliexpress).
To be honest, the Spigen NeoFlex is the absolute best option in my opinion. I normally do not like these "Self-Healing" type but, it has been amazing, stays on all corners and I can continue to use my very light but very protective Spigen case as well. I normally do not like cases but the one I use is okay, especially since I have already shattered the front and rear of the phone once. Don't want to do it again.
I second this...

I've tried about 6 different tempered glass protectors, and all have either made it very difficult to pull down the top menu, or have gotten dust/lint behind the screen. Went to the Spigen NeoFlex 'film' and never looked back. In fact, I just ordered another set of them because I got polyurethane fingerprints on the screen while doing a wood railing. I had zero problems, it doesn't affect touch sensitivity. I will say that getting the sides to stay took a few minutes of work, but once stuck, it has stayed that way for 8 months so far. I paired it with a Spigen LiquidArmor case. I've dropped the phone onto my ceramic floors several times already and had no damage to the phone. I use wireless charging with no problems.
