I just received this case and I love it. Best case I've ever owned for any phone. Slim, not bulky, but great protection for screen, camera, and corners. Silicone material is very smooth. Buttons click easily. Much better than the original case included with my RmX2P.
Fast shipping, delivered from China in 23 days. Includes a free tempered glass screen protector which I haven't tried yet.

Got mine today based on the recommendation in this post, very impressed with it so far. Looks like it'll do a good job of protecting the phone and the clear back shows off the blue colour of the phone really well.
I've coupled it with this glass screen protector and it doesn't interfere with the edges of the case.

I am mainly concerned about fingerprints and smoothness of the operation. Clarity is an important factor also so appears matte finish isn't what I'm looking for since you have that moire over text and such. What would be the optimal screen protector?
Skinomi. Awesome and very easy to apply. They also have the best customer service support!
I actually messed up while applying my screen protector and they sent me a new kit within 2 business days.
Where to get it: Amazon, nuff said.
Thanks for the tip. I think I'm going to try something cheapo like this just so my mother can see if she can live with a matte finish for about a week.

If she finds she can I will find a good high product one.. if not I will go straight with Skinomi most likely than. But I think buying a cheap matte one so she can experience and anti-glare, anti-fingerprint (most critical is fingerprint reduction) than she can make an intelligent decision without blowing $15 just to find she does not like it.
I tried the Zagg and it was a disaster. Application was messy and I personally didn't like the grippy feel. I just got my BodyGuardz put on a couple days ago though and I love it. I bought the combo carbon fiber skin/HD anti-glare screen protector and it's fantastic. Nice feel and definitely cuts down on glare and fingerprints.
Also, if you find them on facebook and post "BodyGuardz Me!" on their wall, they'll send you a 30% off coupon code.
Skinomi
Skinomi wet-apply screen protectors are pretty easy to apply, however they are grippy (like the Zagg's) and 'soft' as in an your fingernail can easily and accidentally leave an indent on the screen protector. It feels almost too soft, where things that leave an indent on the screen protector would never even damage the Gorilla Glass underneath.
Good thing is because it is soft like rubber, most indents un-indent themselves after a while.
Screen Protector
got my screen protector for my Asus Eee Pad made by http://secondshells.com/screen-prot...n-protector-anti-glare-anti-finger-print.html I ordered the anti-glare screen protectors through SecondShells. I have used simply because the touch screen did not lose any sensitivity after I applied it.
The protector had a nice rectangular notch cutout for the camera and for the light sensor(I think that's what it is), I had purchased other protectors and they had these small circular holes, you had to be perfect to install it right, this larger opening made my life a lot easier. Overall very easy to apply, a peel and stick type of protector, with protective covers.. I am very happy. I also recommend getting a stylus like the nano fiber stylus I also ordered from SecondShells responds great with my tablet. http://secondshells.com/touch-stylu...n-with-nano-fabric-retractable-tip-black.html
The Skinomi is nice. Just installed it today. It doesn't reduce glare but the touch is nice. I only wish it were oleophobic...

I installed the Ghost Armor clear front an back on mine and love it. It is a little bit grippy, but no where near as bad as Zagg, which I can't stand!! Ordered mine direct from them for less than $35 shipped. Install is your standard wet install which is super easy in my opinion. Clarity is great and does NOT have the orange peel look like Zagg does. The full body kit comes with front, back, and even pieces to cover the sides. True full body protection!!! They offer many different colors for the back including carbon fiber. http://www.ghost-armor.com/Asus/743.html
I've never been able to get the wet app to work successfully. That's why I chose the dry application secondshells offers.
I have used the Stenheil Ultra Crystal or Ultra Oleophobic from spigen / SGP on like my last 10 devices, because, they are by far and above the best I've ever used, hands down, in every way.
But for some reason, they decided not to make one for the DNA. My guess is the curved edge of the glass, they had issues with the curved glass on the Galaxy Nexus too since these protectors are "rigid". I don't care if it can't cover the entire glass as it's still better than nothing...
Anyone come across a screen protector that is like the Ultra Crystal for the DNA? IE - no orange peel, no gummy feel, no change in the picture quality, etc. IE - NOT a Zagg style protector, lol. Thanks in advance.
Have you ever tried 'best skins ever'? I use them on all my device. If you are generous with the solution the orange peel is so minor it's hard to see. I've actually used them so much I can get them on with no orange peel. They feel almost like the glass when placed correctly.

Yeah, that's a zagg invisible shield style. It's a protective material, not a good screen protector material. I'm looking for a rigid, dry install type protector. That type has NO orange peel and feels just like glass.
I used to use boxwave back in the day, they were nearly as good as Steinheil's. But it seems they stopped making protectors for all but the absolute most popular devices.
I'm probably going to order one (Steinheil Ultra Crystal) for the HTC One and just it it, it won't cover all the glass but it will the visible area at least. I confirmed this on my friends One.
Have you considered tempered glass screen protectors? There appears to be one offered by iMUSE. It should offer the best clarity, but it cost $30. I haven't purchased one myself because there aren't any reviews to be found for this screen protector.
This TechMatte screen protector is available at: Amazon
+++ The Pros +++
+ Easy Installation
+ Good Instructions included
+ Once applied, it has excellent transparency, no distortion, no bubbles
+ Glare is on-par with the naked screen
+ Excellent edge-to-edge coverage and fit
+ Includes spare screen protector(s)
--- The Cons ---
- S-Pen gliding not as smooth as on naked screen
*** The Details ***
I recently purchased the Trident Cyclops case for my Note3 and while I love the case itself, I absolutely abhorred the integrated screen protector. It didn't fit well, color distortion and bad S-Pen drag.
Unfortunately the screen protector on the case is actually sealed to the bracket that locks the front of the phone down. If I mess with that then at the least I was messing with the cases' rated rain protection and at the worst could be breaking the bracket itself. I finally decided to go ahead and chance-it. I'm going to remove the stock screen protector and use some other 3rd party one instead.
I'm already using the Wireless Charging Receiver from TechMatte (which works perfectly fine with the Trident case) and gave my opinion on it in another thread and so they offered to send me their screen protector to try and review. This coincides well with my disliking the provided protector on the case, so I accepted.
TechMatte Screen Protector received, I took the Trident case apart and set about removing the one attached to the case bracket. I'm happy to say, once I started prying the protector off, it came away from the seal/tape quite readily. So not only was I able to remove the stock screen protector, but the seal was still intact as well. I then install the new screen protector to the phone, reattached the bracket, being careful to press down where the seal points are on the edges and voila!
Currently this screen protector is selling for $5 on Amazon, for a 3-pack! Highly recommended.
So cheap!
Yup, I bought nothing but Ghost Armor for the last few years. After installing the Techmatte though, they are my new favorite! Absolutely the BEST screen protector I've ever used or seen! I reviewed it here about 1.5 month ago. It still looks and feels great to this day!! So much cheaper AND so much better than all other screen protectors!

ollogy many
nice detailed report!
Got sick of trying tempered glass that just wouldn't fit. Thus far I've tried two with two more on the way.
In the mean time, went to try the armor suit full screen. I don't particularly like this type of skin protector but for the time being it'll do.
Pretty much the same thing as Zagg, Skinomi, etc
Made a video of the install HERE
Super easy install and edge to edge protection
Had the same idea as you. Also using the armorsuit while waiting for my tempered glass order to arrive.
Pros:
- full screen edge to edge coverage
- accurate cutouts for camera, home button and sensors
Cons:
- wet application (takes a few hours to fully dry)
- has a soft and rubbery feel with noticeable orange peel
- slight reduction in screen sensitivity
Got an armorsuit actually fits really well
Does not fit all the screen. To short from side left to right. About 2.5 millimetres missing on each side.
Ive got the full body one installed and love it for the most part. The rubbery feel gets a lot better after some use. Love how the device is pretty well protected, but still naked. I use to love cases, but with how nice the new S6 and S7 is I decided nakeds the way to go.
I found the ArmorSuit Military Shield great, provided I didn't want to use a case. Because, for me, a case is more important than a screen protector, the ArmorSuit doesn't suit me. It lifted up when used with my Otterbox Symmetry.
Hi Everyone, I recently received some products that are all amazing. I decided to make a post about them instead of posting in the accessories post about them because they might be lost and I will make it easier to get lost if someone was looking for the ultimate (Slim without scratches protection).
First, I started with a case called Anccer. They have gravel material which feels very close to the Oneplus 5T Sandstone texture. It is sold via Amazon. It is a very nice slim case that is SCREEN PROTECTOR COMPATIBLE. This case does not push the screen protector anywhere like most other great brand cases I have tried. If you are looking for a case, I highly recommend one of those. I paired this case with a pet screen protector Sold by LK on Amazon. I found a slickdeals discount code and decided to give it a try. I am impressed. It is PET and not liquid based. will post pictures below.
Now the skin talk. I have always been a D-brand fan buying skins. I found out phantomskinz and I tried their skin. I am very impressed by this brand that I haven't heard of before. Here are my thoughts as a long-time dbrand user.
The packaging is great. These guys really have an amazing packaging for their skin. You get a skin, the solution, two liquid based screen protectors, cloth, and a squeegee card. Even, they have a small texture sample on the outside of the box so you can feel it before you open the package. I am posting some photos below.
I went ahead and applied the black carbon skin since I have owned previous dbrand skins, but I can say, the phantomskinz black carbon feels better in the hand. It is a little thicker than the dbrand one and it actually have a good texture for the extra grip, which is helpful with the super slippery Galaxy S9
The application process is not hard and it is actually all in one piece so you have to align everything properly before finishing the installation. I personally like the all-in-one cut VS the separate parts on the 3m paper that dbrand provides. The only separate parts are a small piece for the sim-card and the camera, which I have installed. Overall, the skin feels like a very slim case and not just a skin. Of course, cases won't work after that because that skin is a little thick.
The screen protector is a wet application screen protector just like the IQ shield. It was straight forward, easy to align and squeeze the solution out, then let it dry. (I'd recommend watching a couple of tutorials about that if it is your first time installing a wet screen protector). The protector is edge to edge, so it is meant to be used without most cases, and it is meant to be used by their skins or other skins. The protector feels like the IQ shield where it sports the self-healing for minor scratches.The one thing I would change about the screen protector is the outer layer when pulled after the setup, pulls the screen protector, so I had to remove the protector after removing the outer screen protection plastic, applied more solution then put it back again. So far no edge lift. From the packaging, skin, screen protector, it is a really nice premium feeling product that is bundled nicely. I would give my thumbs up if someone is looking for that smooth all-in-one experience with phantomskinz.
Overall, that is the setup and these are my thoughts. Ask me anything in and I will do my best to answer you if you are thinking about buying the products that I had mentioned. phantomskinz has their own website and the other products are up on amazon.

Great choice. It also has a great texture for an extra grip.
