I see no difference in photo quality and no flairing effect so far. The protectors do fit nice and almost flush to the case.

Nice. I'll buy one if I saw it in my local shop

I'm interested, thank you...can you take some photo outside in the sun, direct and indirect, when you'll have the chance?

Try taking night pictures beside light source or illuminated signs and you will see light reflections on the lens

Ok. I will give it a shot later and post back.

Here are some night shots of a street lamp. I also took some shots with my wife's S20fe for comparison:

To me it seems the protectors don't really affect the image that much. I couldn't get any shots in the sun as it was pretty much cloudy and rainy all day. I do think these are worth it.

No information about the case, but seller refused me refund after USPS lost package in CA. Thankfully Amazon provided the refund. Looks like a great case but seller's business practices are deplorable.
Anyone have an actual pictures of this case?

I love the fit and feel of the case, just feels quality. The buttons look great, easy to find but not in your face. The logo appears through the cut-out and everything lines up spot on.
Got mine from Mobile Fun, which thankfully were in stock.
Hope this helps.
Looks great. I just ordered the one from Amazon.

HTC U Ultra aluminium frame / bumper - Devilcase

Hey guys,
Got this from Devilcase - a taiwanese case manufacturer.
Just fitted it, seems nice and high quality. Aluminium, with rubber pads in strategic places where it makes contact with phone itself

8bit, apologies for the late response.
I got it directly from devilcase at their website. http://www.twdevilcase.com/en/
Yes, I also got their full coverage screen protector (its in the photo if you look closely).
Overall, the alum frame is really nice, top quality, and perfect fit, but it does make the already large phone a little larger. Small hands need not apply at all.

You sold me on it :victory:
I'd like to ask if the bumper affected your reception? And does the tempered glass have some halo effect around the boarders? Got my Nillkin tempered glass and was so disappointed. After installing it, I just removed it. So much halo effect haha

Protector rear camera?

Hi everyone, I have a doubt, I would like to know if the rear camera has any kind of factory protector or you have to buy one because I just saw the camera and it already has scratches :crying:
I put some no name camera protector glass on it with a circle hole for the flash to avoid the flash from seeping into my pictures.
Plot twist: a circle hole for the flash still creates blue tinted images in the dark when you turn on flash.
But I do feel safer with a protector for the camera, although it became a fingerprint magnet.

Do the aluminum cover mess with the ultra wide lens? I had a similar cover for XIaomi Mi 9 and it would mess with the wide angle lens
In my experience they are total disaster. I brought 3 of them. When I found one which had broad enough holes to not obstruct the camera, I found out that it had no holes for laser adjuster. I drilled both holes myself but then Google pay stopped to work. The metal ring messes with nfc and block its functionality. I removed it and never want to see it again. I mount a protective folie wit holes for everything. I'm thinking about additional layer of the folie to double the thickness. So far I don't have any scratches but I always watch where to put the phone.

Camera protector

I have ordered a hydrogel camera protector from Aliexpress, however it makes the camera images fuzzy, lighter and less contrasty. Removed it of course, so I was wondering whether any of you tried some camera protector that does not change the quality of the camera?
Maybe this can be usefull

This one I actually tried in a shop-this sliding part is a bit flimsy, easy to pop of the sliding rails...maybe on ali they sell better ones...

I own this case and the sliding mechanism is pretty robust. To me it's actually difficult to slide the cover, it feels too stiff

He claims that every photos he see here taken with S23 Ultra has green filter. But nobody else does not see this green in photos.
I think that he has faulty display in he's device, he just doesn't understand that.

Hmmm, I'm on a calibrated screen and I really don't see the green tints. However, I feel that pictures (and also the phone screen) has a little white-yellow tint that make pictures a little yellowish, but I don't see greens,...
