Just received my case included is a screen protector and some goodies you can check the pictures. All for the price of 14 RMB. I bought it from JD.com in China. It took 11 days until I received my order because they were waiting for orders to start manufacturing the case since it's still a new phone.

Regarding a back skin I am not aware of any sold in China probably outside of it maybe yeah. The only cases that were available for the 1st generation ROG were only these type of TPU cases. I hope it's not the same case for the ROG 2. So far the only cases you can find for the ROG 2 are the TPU and book cover types.
Can you still use the air triggers with this case?

Yes there is a cut out for air triggers and side USB. I can use the air triggers but not comfortably, if you use them too much I would suggest using the plastic case included with phone instead.You can check the cut outs from the pictures attached.
I bought a TPU Case and Tempered Glass screen protector off eBay (both came from the same seller) for my ROG Phone 2 (Tencent 8GB/128GB model), so I thought I'd share my thoughts on them.
Case ($10.89): Ultra Thin Soft Silicone Case For ASUS Rog Phone 2 ZS660KL Shockproof Back Cover
Screen Protector ($14.89): Nillkin CP+Pro Tempered Glass Full Screen Protector For ASUS ROG Phone 2 ZS660KL
I love both items!
The case is probably one of the best TPU cases available for the ROG Phone 2 at the moment. All ports are accessible, everything lines up properly, Air Triggers still work great, it has a nice 0.3mm raised lip around the screen to help protect it. Overall, nothing really bad to say about the case, other than maybe the "Soft Silicone" part of the name is a bit misleading as its not like super soft rubber or anything like that. Its flexible before inserting the phone, but I wouldn't really call it soft silicone. Still though, its a great case and I feel the phone is protected from small accidental drops now (definitely more-so than the stock clear hard plastic case that comes with it)!
The Tempered Glass screen protector is also great. The fingerprint sensor still works just fine, Its easy to apply, it can be lifted and re-positioned if you don't get it on perfect the first time. I was worried about the black borders around this particular screen protector when I first bought it, but everything lines up perfectly and doesn't appear to be covering or blocking anything when positioned correctly on the screen!
Edit: ok so even when installed perfectly, the black borders on the sides of the screen protector do block a tiny bit of the screen when viewed straight on... But it is tiny, like maybe 5 or 10 pixels on each side of the screen. You really gotta be looking for it to notice it though.
Edit2: so it also seems there is a very slight decrease in touch screen sensitivity with the tempered glass screen protector installed. After using it for awhile I noticed very occasionally it wouldn't register my input and I'd have to tap again. HOWEVER, this phone is so awesome, it has a built in way to solve this issue. Just go into the settings, then Advanced, scroll to the bottom and enable Glove Mode! It's meant to increases the touch screen sensitivity while wearing gloves, obviously, but works well to fix this minor issue as well.

I've also ordered the nillkin CP+Pro tempered glass.
Have been using their tempered glasses for years. They are the best.
Can you also share images from bottom and top of the cover with phone?? And how much thickness does this cover add to the phone?
Also does it create issues in heat dissipation?
Thanks

Including the 0.3mm raised lip around the phones screen, this case adds a total of 2.5mm of thickness and 3mm of width to the phone.
Measuring with my digital calipers, the phone without a case is 9.5mm thick and 78mm wide (not including the slight camera bump or the phones buttons). With the case on it measured 12mm thick and 81mm wide.
Heat dissipation is still excellent. I haven't noticed any change at all in temperatures.
I've looked everywhere but its nowhere to be found, can anyone guides me as to where I can get a good tpu case?
International vendors ship to india but delivery dates are no less than 30 days after I order.
Hi,
No TPU case present in India as of yet.
I have bought the one described in this thread - link
The units sold is very less in comparison to other brands like oneplus that is why you don't see recognised brands like spigen, otterbox or ringke creating a case for this phone.
Your best bet is to place an order on Aliexpress or Amazon.com.
Though sellers will be shipping cases from china only.
Please share if you find out some other good case?
Also look at these cases available as of now - Link

Bought the fusion crystal case from Ringke:
GOOD:
- Completely transparent to show off Z5P's sexy back
- Grip is pretty solid
- Caps for both the headphone jack and the USB port provides additional protection for when you have that occasional dip in the pool.
- Looks premium; doesn't look cheap
- Has these four little bumpers at the back to prevent the case from being scratched when put on a flat surface
- Volume rocker and power rubbers can be easily pressed
- Scratch-resistant (so far)
- Comes with free screen protectors for both front and back
BAD:
- Fingerprint magnet (so you need to wash it after a hard day's use)
How is that and where did you get it from?
I have this one as well. Ordered from Amazon. Took forever to arrive, I think it is just becoming available. Very happy with it. Really zero complaints. Came with front and rear PET screen cover that work nicely to protect the back (didn't use it on the front, already had another screen protector). The insert said this was to prevent visual artifacts. It's a nice bonus.

didn't use the screen protectors as i also already have my front screen protector and i don't want to cover the glass effect at the back. the back protector was matte so it covers the mirror back and i've always used the back as a mirror.
when i put on the back protector is clear as i can still see the mirror, after removing the top layer sticker which is part (2) my back protector goes matte. i suddenly feel so disappointed. the matte back looks nice but i still prefer the mirror back. im struggling should i remove the back protector as it is a very good quality and when i stick it on theres very little bubble and easy to take out those bubble.

Really? The back tempered glass of Rignke removes the glass effect in the back side?
U should test with another screen protector like Nillkin or Rhidon

Hi everyone, I am using Ringke Fusion Smoke Black for my Sony Xperia Z5 Premium. I have selected smoke black after reading some online reviews & some fitting issue, as after some time clear one gets yellowing. I am happy with smoke black.

No it doesn't. I am using a Ringke case with the back screen protector now and it's a perfect mirror.
It's not actually a tempered glass screen protector it's a very thin layer that (supposedly) prevents a rainbow effect occurring if you use the Ringke case - but of course it also provides some protection as well.
No idea what this person did ... maybe they somehow forgot to remove the protective packaging?

Got mine yesterday, smoke black, and my pone looks great. You have to use the back cover and everything will work and look as intended. Good qualiy case but a bit pricy
This is the best case for z5p. Its not over protected, but just enough. Also fits perfect.
Huge fan of Ringke Fusion cases in general, as I used them on few of my past phones. I will go as far as saying this is probably the best case of this clear/hybrid type in general, beating even the Spigen Ultra Hybrid which is quite hyped case. I find Ringe Fusion extremely precisely built, with perfect cutouts, and also the button cover sections are very easy to press, and you perfectly feel the "click" underneath. One more thing I like, is that the surface is so gentle to wipe, and not sticky at all, like some kind of oleophobic coating for plastic is there. I'm using the smoke black version on my Z5P, and I love it, along with matt protector for back side which takes away some of the mirror effect, but also reduces smudges and dust visibility.

I am using this too, protection is superb, design details are satisfying, well considerate,
Hi Guys,
Since there is no good tempered glass or screen protector available for the S7(not edge), Spigen has one but that's way too expensive and I wasn't able to find an authentic one in the market. Has anyone tried protectors and skins by GadgetShieldz? Here's the link-
http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-screen-protectors-covers-cases.html
The plus is that if the product is as good as they are describing then it covers the sides too. The con is that there is no actual proof or hands on video regarding the same+it is still expensive atleast for me but there's no other alternative.
Thanks
I just ordered the matte and the ultra clear screen protectors. I didn't buy the body because I have a Rhinoshield bumper and back protector. I'll post a review once they arrive.
Good product the body shield is
Have been using the Gadgetshielz full body protector for 6 months now. It is quite good and the cuts are precise. Quite a lot of work, applying them is. Be patient after applying, in a week or so, the bubbles and wobbles will sort themselves out. Was hard to believe when I completed installation and saw what a mess it was.
That doesn't look like tempered glass. I will NEVER go back to the flimsy protectors. Too many issues with bubbles, etc. But, I have yet to find a tempered glass that full covers the edges. It's more of an issue when things are right at the edges (such as text) that makes it difficult to read, but I'll take that as it's rare knowing that I have a tempered glass protector on that does a better job of absorbing the shock of a drop.
Using their screen protector, with my rhinoshield bumper case and no bubble. Wanted glass first but all those that I bought, the case lifted them or they had the big halo, lifting all around cause the curve screen.

Thanks mate. I bought two and will report when it arrives
So, here's why review-
Finally ordered them. It was my first time that I was installing any sort of protector and I was super nervous. The protector kept coming off. I had to wet it with the solutions many times. I drove out the bubbles as many as I could but the end result was way too foggy and messy. But after 48 hours everything was gone, except few dust and fingerprints particles which are my fault BTW there's a huge particle of dust on the back button. Can I lift it up just a tad to remove it? I still have the solution, I am planning to wet it to reapply. Will it work?
Also can anyone suggest a good cover for S7? My current one is a chinese one, but I think it will remove the side protectors if I take the phone out few times because with the side protectors the sides bulge out a bit. @r3xx3r @ere1nion
Any way to get the same cover in India?

I searched for a month, ordered like 10 different tempered glasses from various websites but they all sucked. GS's protector is not a glass but it is the best alternative to a glass.

Correct it is not. I use the Otterbox Commuter and Otterbox Defender so this is not an issue for me particularly. I had a partial screen protector on already so no shift in change for me there either. I just received mine in the mail today. The back application was by far harder than the front. I didn't get it perfect. It's the material used on the back. I will not be testing this screen protector but I feel confident with it on. Hopefully it will never need to prove itself.
So, my protector is screwed thanks to Gear VR, it kept on removing the upper part of the protector every time I put the phone in the Gear VR or took it out. Has anyone tried the so called buff guard(a type of tempered glass) which covers the whole screen even the edges? Is there any alternative for the GadgetShieldz protector?
My wife just upgraded to an S7 (tried the Moto Z and it was too big, bulky and heavy for her). She wanted a tempered glass screen protector, but not like the one I have (which doesn't cover the entire screen due to the curved edges of the S7).
After much research, I found the amFilm glass protector was one that was listed in many top-10 lists as being excellent. This covers the entire glass but gives room on the edges for cases. My wife has a Speck Candyshell case for her phone and the screen protector works fine with it. My only issue with it is that on the top and bottom (which is fully protected), it's colored. So you have to choose the correct color based on your phone (black or gold). I don't understand why it has to be colored. Why not make it all clear so you can see the actual color of the phone? But it DOES cover the entire screen unlike the earlier brands that came out. And it was very easy to apply and there are no bubbles at all. Touch response is excellent from what I could tell. I tested it and couldn't find any "soft" or "blind" spots that didn't react and I just lightly touched, so it was pretty good. I'll wait and see how it goes with my wife after she's had it for awhile. It also comes with a lifetime warranty for the purchased product. That means, and they state this in the documentation that comes with the protector, that the warranty does NOT apply to a warranty replacement item. So that means, if you've swapped out your initial purchase with a warranty item, you'll have to purchase a brand new screen protector to get a lifetime warranty again. That is pretty standard across most things like this, so I have no complaints.
Here is the gold colored one that I ordered and installed since she has a gold S7:

Thanks for such a detailed review. There are many protector glasses of that sort available in India, all of them are manufactured in china, but not the brand which you have mentioned. The reviews of the chinese one's is pathetic. So, I didn't go for them. Can you please check and confirm whether the phone fits fine in Gear Vr with the protector that you have installed or not?
This one, though its for the Edge model, looks tempting but I will wait for an early bird's review before ordering the one for the non-Edge version which should be available by tomorrow-
http://www.amazon.in/CEDO-Samsung-G...ems&ie=UTF8&qid=1489471980&sr=1-4&keywords=s7
So I'm getting my S8 today but I still don't have anythong for its protection.
1.) What is the best CLEAR case for this device that gives it basic (slim but not too slim)? I also want to have that raised lip for the fingerprint sensor in the back.
2.) For screen protectors, is Temperd Glass recommended for curved devices? If so, which one is best?
I want to have the total cost for these at a minimal as I don't feel like spnding a lot just for the these basic accessories.
Thanks for the help!
Well I wasted almost 30 bucks on screen protectors and the only thing I can say is DO NOT buy any 3D tempered glass that is supposed to cover whole front. The main problem here is the adhesive which is located only on edges of the protector. There is air between screen and protector, which sometimes decreases touch responsivity, forcing you to apply some pressure in certain areas so that the input is registered. Also, most of these 3D glass protectors collide with many cases, so they simply don't work. Personally, just go for some decent case that will secure your device from drop, like RhinoShield or Spigen Neo Hybrid. If you care about design and don't want to lose it, go for something clear and thin/ultra thin
I bought a Baseus case from eBay and lobe it so much. So thin and light and matches perfectly. They are in Amazon too.
Also works with my Darth Vader skin that I have on the back so it still shows that off.

So are you saying not to go with any screen protector at all? Does this apply to the usual "flimsy" screen protectors as well?
Definitely do not buy any harted glass. I have ordered 3D TPU film that has adhesive on whole surface it will ship on thursday so I will tell ya if it works or not

I strongly thinking of going back to no protector. I tried glass and the White Stone dome one was great except the glue on the side kept chipping out and looked terrible. I've got a film protector on now from Best Buy Canada and again it feels so crappy compared to the naked screen. If I remove it I'll still be careful but I do have insurance just in case. I already don't use a case (only a skin) for the very same reason...that I want to enjoy the feel and look of this beauty, not cover to up to protect it for someone else in the future.

I did that with my HTC 10 for a year for the same reason and it has no scratches or micro-abrasions at all. I think it's pretty safe to assume the S8 will be no different. As for going caseless... I wouldn't recommend that for a device mainly made of glass lol. Check out the Supcase review I just posted and try it out if you like. If not, return it or at least you'd have something to put on your phone when you're going somewhere or doing something that may cause you to drop it.
Buy yourself genuine samsung screen protector tpu version and genuine samsung light case.....or silicon case genuine.... all goes 100% together.
@Hunteres
But then you oay more than what you should be paying? And that there are others that are even of higher quality than Samsung? Pass.

11euro for 2 screen protectors official package with all in....15euro for clear case official packaging and 20 euro for official silicone case. All of them on ebay from europe.
I am not fun of expensive accessories but this time samsung have it all.

Well I wasted almost 30 bucks on screen protectors and the only thing I can say is DO NOT buy any 3D tempered glass that is supposed to cover whole front. The main problem here is the adhesive which is located only on edges of the protector. There is air between screen and protector, which sometimes decreases touch responsivity, forcing you to apply some pressure in certain areas so that the input is registered. Also, most of these 3D glass protectors collide with many cases, so they simply don't work. Personally, just go for some decent case that will secure your device from drop, like RhinoShield or Spigen Neo Hybrid. If you care about design and don't want to lose it, go for something clear and thin/ultra thin

Right, I don't have a doubt regarding their genuineness. It's just that there are other screen protectors like the Spigen Neo Flex that costs $8.99 for a 2-pack as well. Same goes for the clear cases, there are others that are significantly cheaper than the Samsung. So I'm just wondering how do these fare with the official Samsung ones. Any thoughts?

I agree. My only concern though is that I kinda want the "raised lip for the fingerprint sensor" feature that the Ringke cases offer and I don't think the Spigen cases have that.

Well, yeah, but I want to know how the Spigen compares to the Ringke. Maybe it is better in terms of other departments and the like.
im using the Ringke fusin clear case.
i absoultly love it, its offer all the feature's im looking at case (thin, clear and lift on top and bottom of the screen)
im gonna order the Spigen liquid Crystal as well. as the reviews says its very good case. (remindes the Ringke features)
I'm using the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. I think it a great case. I had the same one on my S7 Edge for a year.

I just finished installing the Whitestone Dome tempered glass screen protector. Initial thoughts so far is it's the best on the market hands down. Make sure you check for case compatibility before you purchase it though. The price is a little steep at $45 but well worth it IMO. The adhesive is under the entire glass and uses a UV to cure. Clarity and touch performance seem to be spot on. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06Z...+galaxy+s8&dpPl=1&dpID=51W7ozwV4HL&ref=plSrch

Me too, in Midnight Black color! Very elegant and nice.
Haven't understand yet if the clear back will become yellow or not in time...
About the screen protection, I'm a tempered glass lover. Since I've been using them I've saved all my old phones.
I've tried some curved glasses on my S8, but finally the Zagg Sapphire Curve is available in Europe and I've ordered one!
I know, it's not glass, but it's supposed to be harder then glass, and got now it's the cheapest solution for having a protection this good that adheres to all the device's screen.
And I've seen that it's case friendly and that not that bad in touchscreen sensitivity!
Will let you know

The Spigen ultra hybrid on my S7 Edge stayed pretty much clear the year I had it. I'm using a Armorsuit Military screen protector. It's not glass but it will do for now. It's really difficult to find a tempered glass protector for a curved screen. It seems like all if them are junk. I wait and let others experiment until there is one that really works without issues.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XXTRWBL/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
For clear case, my recommendation would be the Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear or the Otterbox Symmetry Clear. The otterbox is slightly chunkier but not much.
As for a screen protector I've tried the Samsung official one and the Spigen Neo Flex.
The Samsung one is a dry application and therefore is extremely difficult to get on right without dust spots. I tried it on 3 different phones and didn't get either of them right, even with the dust removal sticker.
The Spigen Neo Flex is a wet application which is far better cause when it dries out it leaves no dust spots or air bubbles. But imo the corners aren't a perfect fit for most cases. Again I tried a few and even with Spigen cases the corners lifted on all of them. A little trimming of the corners with a scalpel solved this. This protector isn't as clear looking as the Samsung dry film but is of the "military material type" and so self heals with any minor dings and scratches. I'd trim the corners a little (follow the contour of the corner and trim off a mm or two) before applying this for best adhesion on all corners for a case. It def has a slightly different feel to screen but at rhe moment I think this is the best solution of at the moment to protect out precious S8 screens.
Hope this helps.

I cant find a good case for ROG 3 on flipkart of Amazon. Which case are you guys using? where did you buy it from??
I am using Lighting Armor case as I need to use the air trigger. If you do not care for the function of air triggers (dual & slide), can get IMAK case from aliexpress.
I'm also using the lighting armour , I like it ok it drains power but I still like it
I am using the average tpu case that is available for rog 3, i had to make cut out for the side mounted type c ports though
I'm using this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001345047036.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.5d6e4c4d4DwYCq
It's not perfect, but provides enough all around protection, the cutouts are in place.
The included tempered glass screen protector is of good quality, but the black border covers a few pixels on the sides.
It's pretty cheap, I can recommend buying it to protect your ROG Phone 3 - as I said, it's not perfect, but good enough.
Using this one with a tempered glass in the front and a silicon film in the back
I have ordered this IMAK transparent black TPU case with extra corner shock-proofing along with these IMAK clear soft hydrogel films for front & back protection.
Hopefully shipment arriving to me by early next month.
Used to use the lighting armor case until the slippery uncovered aluminium side caused me to drop the phone yesterday, now the phone has a dent on the top right corner of the frame. Lighting armor has the best look of all the cases out there. Now using Zshow case which should prevent it from hitting the screen flat down if I ever drop it again. I'm lucky the phone didn't fall face down with the lighting armor case which would have guaranteed a cracked screen.
I have the imak tpu case too but it cause the tempered glass to lift.
Besides the tempered glass being lifted issue, what's your experience/ feedback regarding your IMAK TPU case (is it with extra corner protection)?
Imak case is quite loose around the air triggers, power button, volume button and side port. Top 4 corner airbags are the problems as they can be depressed quite easily and this cause the screen protector to lift up. You will know when you hold the phone on your right hand with your palm resting with the bottom right corner for support, and this can cause the screen protector to lift.
I'm getting the hydrogel film screen protectors - Hoping that screen lift is not an issue.....
What's your experience or opinion regarding the general damage/ drop protection with this case?
Quality, overall fitting & feel?
It will protect if dropping on the corners as well as face down. However dropping on the back might be a problem because the camera lens are protuting out (although the case cover the camera lens). Placing the phone on the table will also result in wobbly phone when using.

Quality, would say it is better than those generic cheap tpu case (which has worse fit than imak), feel wise, it is slippery on the back.
I just received this: Foluu ROG Phone 3 Case through Amazon. £6.71. To hold it without the phone it doesn't feel great and whilst over the standard case it comes with its bulkier I feel so much safer knowing my camera wont get scratched when I put the phone down. It also raises of the front screen by a minuet amount so there is a bump as you move your finger about. I'd rather that than a nasty scratch though so happy with it.
Air trigger holes and extra power connector cut out too as well as on the back a nice design

It covers the side? The picture on amazon looks like it is an open side design. I don't see slapping that case will provide a good grip.

I am using Asus Original Screen Protector without antibacterial coating. The antibacterial protector is not available in my country. Great protector, no blocking of edge unlike the cheap china protector which has thick black borders and block the edges of the display.

Thanks for this, I did think about getting this over.
I'm using the magnetic flip case which is great, but no front lip so don't drop the thing like I did, broke my display as the screen protector didn't quite cover all of it and a tiny stone hit the outer edge.
Not the end though as I've bought another, and will get it repaired under insurance consider it a lesson learned.

FEEDBACK
Took about 5 weeks to arrive (from China).
This IMAK case is good build quality and fit over all, could have been a bit more snug - the extra corner padding does not make it look slick, and I am not sure if it is worth it on balance.
There is a 2 mm lip all around the front panel to help with screen protection.
Cut-outs are spot on - including for air-triggers/ 3 mics/ heat vent/ side USB ports. No cut-out for SIM-tray though but it's better this way.
Camera module is fairly well protected.
No issues with air-trigger related squeeze gestures.
The Hydrogel clear gel screen protector had a ?extra notch cut-out just left of the front camera (?? why) but otherwise the rest of the dimensions were spot on. It came as a set of x2 in one pack, which was a nice surprise. Included a helpful set of instructions/ link to video.
I preferred it to be short by about 1 mm all around the edges to minimise the risk of "lift" when the case is compressed in pockets/ when using the squeeze gestures etc.
The touch feel is smooth and has a good response. Visibility through this screen film is fine; no glare issues. I prefer these type of gel screen protectors to glass.
Has anyone come across a case that doesn't need to be removed when connecting to the accessories (eg Twinview, Mobile Desktop Dock)?
Ok guys I got the Xperia 1 iii after much thought and since I got it after getting the official Sony case and a screen protector I have been through 3 glass screen protectors in like the first couple of weeks and hadn't even droped my phone outside . I put this down to the poor protection from the official Sony case offers. So I purchased the Spigen case that offers the full bumper cover and replaced another Spigen glass screen protector for little under £15 and after putting it on my bed side cabinet last night and getting in the car this morning I noticed the screen protector is broken again .and I haven't even dropped it inside . So I'm down over £100 in the last month or so and geting fed up with trying to find a decent case and screen protector for the Xperia 1 iii
I also look for a good screen protector. Which one can I get on Amazon Italy?
I have read that it is best to avoid the spigen align master.
As a cover I feel great with the Spigen
Spigen case is great. You will not find a suitable screen protector because the edges of the screen are still "curved" thereby not allowing the protector to cover the entire screen edge-to-edge. I gave up on a screen protector for most phones lately due to this fact.

I think it depends on what you mean by edge to edge protection. If you mean it covers the entire front, bezels included all the way to phone edges than no there isn't one, though those screen protectors with black borders all around get pretty close. The draw back is that depending on the manufacturer, some of them have black borders covering the edges of the screen more than others, which can be noticeable and annoying.
There are also screen protectors that go slightly beyond the edge of the screen. As in you can see the border between the screen and the bezels right beneath the glass, but that's about it. I consider that screen edge to edge and I have been using that. As you mentioned, since the screen curves ever so slightly at edges, the edge of that screen protector doesn't sit 100% flush on the screen.
Some manufacturers give a kind of transparent filler glue that you can brush in the gap along the edge to fill it up and make it looks seamless instead of a visible air gap. However because it isn't a solid surface, the glass along the edges can crack if you press your screen edge hard enough multiple times, maybe from an intense gaming session. But under normal use, so far it held up.
I don't have recommendations, as I bought them from my local e-commerce site, although they are direct from China, so I'm sure they are there somewhere on Taobao or Aliexpress. I am not sure of which ones are these if I were to search on those platforms, or on your platforms like Amazon.
I use spigen glass and except the first one that broken easily i have no issue.
I bought spigen case but trashed it after a single day..too bulky...i bought a 10 Eur in soft clear silicon off amazon.it (Elyco Cover) Not the best against yellow tint but i smoke then no case will ever be safe from yellow tint.
But this cover is really really thin and don't ruin phone appearance
The spigen cover for iphone 12 pro was good, pretty thin but protective. The one for Xperia 1 III from spigen is really really bad, it protect well but increase the size of the phone in a nasty way

Not sure which Spigen case you are talking about but the one I have does not add hardly anything to the feel of the phone. Oh well, to each his own!

The Spigen ultra hybrid (in 2021 It was the only cover for Xperia 1III fine by Spigen)
And compared to the One i use now is sensibly bigger and bulkier, also i found the hard plastic parts in the rear of the cover pretty nasty.
For example on my old Xperia 1 i have the Spigen Crystal liquid cover and if you compare that Spigen cover with the One for X1 III Is pretty clear how the new cover made the phone bulkier.
It's not much, around 1-1.5 mm thicker, but the feeling Is worst, at least for me.

It is made of materials that helps heat dissipation and also anti-bacterial.
Maybe it's only a cover and expensive one but I can say it is really a good quality. So I can recommend it.
Spigen cases all the way. Had them since my Nexus 6P.
If you can get up to north Wales tech base they have what they call clear shield it's like that dbrand skin I have it on my Xperia 5 ii only prob is getting there and paying 20 pound of you want I can show pictures of the front and back o also have the like crabon type back cover and also have Duc ducis flip case I alternate between the 2 and go naked sometimes
