Accessories to get? - Thunderbolt Accessories

I'm going to be picking up a Thunderbolt tomorrow and would like to know what everyone thinks I should get in terms of accessories.
I was thinking about an extended battery, seeing as how it seems to make a difference, but aside from that I have no idea.
Suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

You might want a screen protector. I would get one online somewhere, not a cheap VZW one.
And, I assume you've done a bit of research on that battery so you know it's HUGE.

Yes, I realize it's XBAWKS HUEG. I'm also toying with the idea of a second battery, as I wouldn't mind swapping mid-day.
As for the screen protector, I was thinking about a SGP Ultra Crystal. Has one on my X and it was great.

I hear the Thunderbolt has Gorilla Glass on it. No need for a screen protector.

Tell that to several posters on here that have started threads on how cheap the glass is. And the couple others that have cracked the screen.

This is a list of accessories I purchased for my TB.
Amazon.com I found has the best deals (even beating out eBay)
Car Dock, $30.00
(well worth it - If you use your phone for traveling functions. GPS, Music or what ever)
Screen protector - $15.00
additional charger - $10.00
(stock charger is pretty shafty, does not work well at all)
Pouch - $13.00
(for when in your pocket, purse or "satchel")
VZ Car Charger - $5.00

I ordered a SGP oleophobic and hope it's nice. I like ZAGG but mine came off for no reason so...

I just ordered the oleophobic too.

Never tried oleophoboc, but had sgp ultra fine and liked that fingerprints would not show but it was just way too cloudy and diminished the screen resolution too much. Since then I have switched back to ultra crystal with no regrets. Here is a shot of ultra fine and ultra crystal to show the difference between the two.

I love the oleophobic, crystal clear and seems to resist prints a little bit better than the Ultra Crystal.

I hate my screen protectors from SGP. They're going back. I got them today and went to put them on but the very instant I pulled to protective back off dust started sticking to it. It was as if they were electrically charged. Dust I couldn't see in the air was all over the back of my screen protector. I tried both of them. I'm switching back to ZAGG. I like the install process of those better. And they will send you another if it get scratched or you get a replacement phone. Pretty sure SGP doesn't do that.
If anyone knows of a better screen protector (preferably wet installation) I'm open to suggestions.

I use ZAGG on all of my phones. I love that if it gets messed up I can go to my local mall and they'll replace and install it for me for $5.

Have you tried applying the SGP's in a bathroom with a hot shower running to control the dust?
Phantom Skinz are extremely good protectors that require a wet application. I use only them and SGP's. I would recommend them.

Best Screen Protector!

If you want an awesome screen protector that has the hardness feel of the bare screen then you want this one. It's 3 for 7 bucks and it feels so much better than all those expensive Invisible Sheilds and such. Those leave a crappy feel or funky haze after they dry. This thing is so bad ass I felt I needed to let everyone in on it. I've had for a couple of months now and no scratches. I also put one on my wifes evo. Enough here's the link.
http://www.amazon.com/GTMax-LCD-Scr...WI02/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1293259085&sr=8-2
Edit- Had to order more of these for a replacement phone and found out that the protectors advertised here and sold by Efforcity are the wrong ones. You have to click the part that shows ones that are sold by other companies and you have to get them from Bargain Cell. I just got mine in finally and Bargain Cell is the only company that sells them.
Thanks. I have a Zagg InvisableShield now and I do like it, but this is cheap enough to see if it is worth having. The great thing about Zagg's screen protectors is that they are lifetime warrantied so you only have to buy 1 per device. After that just pay shipping and you get a brand new one.
I've been using MobileXS Screen Guardian Mirrored HTC EVO screen protector for about 2 months now. Feels like glass, very slick and not stick at all.
When the screen is on its really clear and when the screen is off it's almost a perfect mirror. I bought two thinking it would scratch easily so far not a single scratch. Oh... and there washable and reusable. There a little more costly at 25$ a pop, but after two months and no scratches or wear I think its a good deal.

big fan of Boxwave protectors, antiglare for me.....Have used them for years, they are the best imho.

Martin Fields. They cost a fortune but is the absolute best.
I like the one that seidio sells had mines on for about 3 months still looks invisible.
Swyped from Eva my Mynion running Myn's RLS4.95!
I've used an Invisible Shield on the last three phones I've had.
As long as you get it put on properly, they last forever.
I usually shill out the few bucks to have the guy at best buy do it since if they screw it up, they have to put a new one on.
I got the one from the OP yesterday and put it on. I like the feel of it, but it is a fingerprint and finger oil magnet. It also doesn't cover the whole screen. There are small strips on each side longways that are not covered. I liked my Zagg InvisibleShield because it didn't attract this stuff and covered the whole screen. The only thing I didn't like about Invisible is the rubbery feel of it. Good thing they have a lifetime warranty. I got a new one on the way for only the cost of shipping.
There really aren't any instructions for this one, I just received mine today. Do you use any soapy water or anything? I;m going to install it in a steamy bathroom.
I am not familiar with that one. I had one of the SGP protectors and I liked it but it scratched too easily. I use the bodyguardz. It offers the same protection as the invisible shield but I like the feel of it better. They have a dry apply version available now. I have just ordered one of the wrap sol protectors. I will let you know how it compares.
Sent from this here Evo!
I use Reallook. I had one on my vibrant and now on my evo. They are pretty cheap on amazon. It covers the whole face and is unnoticeable. Also reusable, and easy to apply
I actually bought the screen protectors listed by OP.
It was nice because they actually sent me NINE screen protectors, hah. The texture and clarity is identical to the stock glass.
im about done with screen protectors in general. today at work i got a bit of paint over spray on my screen protector "phanton skinz" so i used a bit of alcohol & nail polish removed mixed with warm water to remove it and it totally jacked the protector up. i have this horrid film on it now and im pissed. these things are suppose to be indestructible. so like an ass i ordered one more just now and after that im done with them in general. next time ill but a dry application cheapy.
i wish they made the evo with gorilla glass and i wouldn't even bother.
I use Screenpatronus... good product, good price.

Verizon Screen Protector

So I went to a Verizon store to get the gel case since I don't like the portfolio case (just too bulky for me) and of course they didn't have it in black so I decided to just pick up the 3 pack screen protector. Got back to my desk and removed the original plastic that i had kept on since last Thursday and discovered that the screen protector doesn't actually cover the entire screen, looked like crap and so I decided to go back and return it. Has anyone ordered the Zagg one yet? I have a Zagg screen protector on my Ipad and love it but want to hear some opinions before rushing in case someone has any bad feedback.

Just noticed that Phantom Skinz has their screen protector out. They have been my favorite protector for years now. Mainly cause they do not have that orange peel effect.
Only reason why i havent pulled the trigger is that I can't find a coupon code. There's almost always one available.
Thanks I'll check it out.
Have not tried the ZAGG one, I like their protectors. I have installed the Skinomi one, they are my current fav when it comes to screen protectors. Covers the screen like it should be.. I have seen friends run into your situation before with cell phones, whatever protectors they buy at the verizon stores they just dont cover the whole screen and just dont fit or look good.
Side topic - I am not a case fan cause adding size, but i like full protection from basic things, so I get screen protector, and I usually design a nice back skin... Anyone seen any skin sites that support XOOM yet?... Skinit/DecalGirl do not yet.
I'm someone who has never, ever used a screen protector on my mp3 players/phones. Can you let me know if the Zagg/Skinomi protectors:
1. Are truly invisible? You don't notice that they're on at all?
2. Significantly reduce fringerprints?
3. Make the screen less glossy at all?
4. Are easy to take on and off?
5. Are the Zagg full body ones worth it? You really can't tell it's on?

This generally applies to all screen protectors -
1. never 100% invisible but you shouldn't be able to tell from a distance there's one on. The biggest problem is "orange peel." Some manufacturers do a better job of it than others.
2. Yes, almost all of them do wonders for finger prints as well as face smudges (for phones.)
3. Again, most do make it less glossy. Some are more reflective.
4. The Zagg and Phantomskinz types are not easy to remove. They dry on to your device but will not leave a residue. Technically they say you can reattach it but I doubt it.
5. The full body's are great for protecting your device from scratches. I have found that over time dust sticks to the edges and will make it more an more obvious.
Long story short, they're great and give very good piece of mind. On the other hand, full body skins will make your device too big for things like Moto's portfolio case (educated guess but it's been that way for everything else.)
Thanks for the answers! I'm strongly considering getting one now.
I got the vzw screen protector too. I was thinking the same thing, why doesn't it cover the whole screen? Than it dawned on me. How well would the front facing camera work if it was covered? I vid chat so that made up my mind.
All of the other screen protectors have a hole cut out for the camera. The one for the OG Droid even has one cut out for the stupid LED light. lol
I don't see that as an excuse for Verizon not to cover the whole screen with their screen protector. That's a deal breaker for me. I might go with the Skinomi since it's cheaper than the Invisible Shield (Never liked Invisible Shield, anyways.)
I can't stand the Verizon scren protectors. I have a Zagg on my Droid X but I ordered a Bodyguardz protector for the Xoom. Appears to be as good or maybe slightly better than the Invisibleshield. There is a video out there. Ultimate I pad scratch test iirc.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
Now that I think about it, the plastic that came with the Xoom covered the web cam and it wasn't bad. Oh well, I get a corporate discount with vzw. Posted up some so I can have extras.
I ordered this from amazon and i'm awaiting delivery of everything this week I hop this screen protector covers everything or it's going back $19.00

I got back in town to find I had a package from Bodyguardz. I got one for the Xoom and one for my Droid X, actually the Droid X was a pack of two. First time I used this brand and so far I like it better than the Zagg. Less orange peel, fit is a little better, and the price is good. I took the Invisibleshield off the X and installed the Bodyguardz on both pieces. I'll see how things go.

Where did you buy this case?
As i have now tried 3 different screen protectors i can say this:
ZAGG/KINGFISH: both sold by car phone warehouse are no good.
Zagg is a flimsy piece of skin which once fitted is not even smooth. Your finger will not slide on the screen and it makes the view on the screen quite poor as well.
Kingfish is a Matt type screen. Its smooth but also covers the front camera and goes beyond the beveled edge of the phone making it easy to collect dust. Viewing is not very good and i suspect covering the sensors won't do any good either
Positive: Protex
Sold by phones4u and online. Cheap when compared with the above and easy to fit. (I always use droplets of water to fit as it eliminates dirt and little dust fibres to the minimum)
Easy to slide the finger on, does not cover the sensors or cameras.
Rock screen protector: similar to protex, a bit wider and same quality. Highly recommended to the point that i have cancelled the original protectors that Samsung will bring out later in the month.
Overall if you want something that will be good and not disrupt the feel and view, the 2 above ones are ideal. I'm sure there will be other more or less expensive but i won't be testing any new ones.

Are Protex and Rock wet or dry protectors? Do they stretch to the edges of the phone? Or are the edges exposed?
The eyes are slightly exposed about 2mm.
They are not soft protectors and that makes them very good. No glare or other issues. Zagg is a soft one and the most problematic one.
When you say wet or dry i suspect you mean needing to use spray water to apply. Both rock and protex do not need water to apply but using it makes it much easier to apply

Wet application screen protectors
I originally got a dry application screen protector (the ones with the sticky stuff) as an interim measure. After a few days it did start peeling up slightly on the edges as the screen is curved on the edges. I then ordered an XtremeGuard protector (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/23080181...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_3744wt_1396) which is a wet application one. It has been sooooo good. Since it is wet application it is alot more flexible and can hence handle the curved edges. Also the XtremeGuard protectors don't suffer from the 'lemon-peel' effect of other wet application screen protectors.
Not saying anything bad against other screen protectors, more just sharing my experience with some screen protectors.

Your Gear4 case looks very nice and pricing is reasonable.
Do you have any experience with the Case-mate barely there cases and how it compares to your Gear4 case?

X-PROTECTIONS Nexus 5 Premium Tempered Glass - Lowest price - Review Updated

http://www.xprotections.com/products/Google_Nexus_5_Screen_Protector_Premium_Tempered_Glass.htm
$3.15 + $4 shipping = $7.15. Still the lowest price for tempered glass I've ever seen. They also have for another model like Samsung S5 or iPhone 5S.
No review yet. Pretty much new company. From China of course. (not surpised when it come to this price). Look around and OMG, price start at $2. I know this may be crap but seriously, this is so cheap, dirt cheap.
Some infos I found from this company:
http://www.gcoupon.com/view/companies/248074/Xprotections.html
From Mar 2014.
Short review:
The package was fine. The glass have oleophobic coating for sure. This glass fit very well in my screen without any bubble, not like a Nillkin. Just remove my Nillkin and apply without any issues. For someone who said the nexus 5 screen is a hole's problem, not the Nillkin glass, I am highly doubt it. In fact, I may got a lemon with this Nillkin. Anyway, the screen is perfect fit and so smooth. I am so satisfied.
The quality is solid. Below is a picture of this glass's thickness. I cannot say much about it's quality now as I just received it today, will update the review after few weeks using. But first impression was good and nothing to complain
It came with cleaning kit like other tempered glass.
The shipping speed was fast. It's China Post Air Mail but only 9 days (include weekend).
I can say with this price range this thing is amazing value. Highly recommend.
Here are some picture when I open the package. Sorry I don't have a camera to make a vid when apply it, but this thing is pretty similar like Nillkin glass. I will get more photo when I borrow one from my bro.

I got a Nillkin too, but after about 10 times applied and re-applied my screen still had a big hole in the bottom (not affect the screen view), which is so annoying for me so I got this to replace. If this sucks I lost 7 bucks and apply the Nillkin back. After all it's just 7 bucks. I suggest you guys get this as a backup. Well, Nillkin was originally China product but it's proved to be good brand until now. With this unbeatable price this one may worth a try.
And btw, Paypal accepted.
that website is super shady. no ssl at all, plain order forms, no email verification, domain registered to "mr protector screen".
no thanks, but good luck.

You do know that the bubble at the bottom of the screen is because the Nexus 5 screen is not 100% flat right? It is not because of the Nillkin screen protector. It happens with all of the tempered glass screen protectors. You just need to really rub it out hard or use a small clamp with soft cloth between the clamp and screen.
Just do a search here and you'll see pretty much everyone having this problem regardless of which screen protector they are using.
Anyone running this?

Seems they are out of stock, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ITC6DRK/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but that was 6.99 with prime shipping and is working wonders on my device .
Did anybody bite the bullet for the community and ordered one?

I do. Just got an e-mail from them say my glass had been shipped. Will do a review whenever I got it.
Usually these cheap screen protectors come without any oleophobic coating on it which makes the screen/glass very tough to glide your finger over.

Just received my glass today from them. A short review was updated.
There are plenty of sub-$5 glass screen protectors on eBay. Don't think you can go wrong with any. Although some have three cutouts instead of two...
Can I order it in India??? Have someone ordered this from India??

I actually have ordered screen protectors from this website for my cousins' iphone 5s and galaxy s5 and they say that the glass seems to be holding up pretty well. I actually plan on ordering one as well just to replace my nillikin just in case it breaks. How are the edges? Are the rounded just like the nillikin? Just wondering because that's the only way for me to get my case to fit properly.

You do know that the bubble at the bottom of the screen is because the Nexus 5 screen is not 100% flat right? It is not because of the Nillkin screen protector. It happens with all of the tempered glass screen protectors. You just need to really rub it out hard or use a small clamp with soft cloth between the clamp and screen.
Just do a search here and you'll see pretty much everyone having this problem regardless of which screen protector they are using.

Agree to this it is not an issue with the protector but rather the nexus screen itself as the tempered glass does not stick at the bottom we need to press to apply it properly whereas in some nexus it just fit smooth
How is X-PROTECTIONS holding up after 5 months?
Are you still using X-PROTECTIONS Google Nexus 5 Screen Protector Premium Tempered Glass? If yes, how is it holding up? Please kindly offer update after five months of usage, thank you!

Accessories Cases and Screen Protectors or Tempered Glass for A54

Hey XDA Fam! I just purchased the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G for my mom and I'm looking for some good looking, protective Cases and a nice quality Screen Protector / Tempered Glass. I have checked a few but I'm unsure if I should go with them. So, I though Ill drop in and ask my XDA Fam for some solid recommendations since you guys have helped me previously and the recommendations I went for have been pretty flawless!
Update Edit: I have purchased the Full-Body Screen Protectors from Gadgetshieldz as recommended and didnt go with the skins this time cause my mom wants to keep it low-key. Ill most get the skins for her later on!
Still in need of a good case recommendation, there are a few on amazon but havent chosen any yet. Any top case suggestions would be highly appreciated!

Hey! Please change the topic from Question to Accessories.
Also, Ive used both tempered and screen protectors from Gadgetshieldz and they both do a good job while also being affordable. I use the Full-Body Screen Protector for my current device cause it covers Screen, Back Panel, Sides, Top, Bottom and Camera Module. Im also concerned about permanent scratches and marks on the Back Panel due to dust secretion cause my previous devices had these permanent scuffs even after using cases from Spigen and UAG. I realised that no matter the case, dust accumulates and causes these permanent marks that reduce the resale value. So I just went ahead with the full body protector to avoid these. Skins are also a good alternative to avoid these marks.
Ill suggest going with this if you dont want to pay too much while also considering quality cause Amazon products are very unreliable and I dont really see the point in paying too much for these cause all other brands like Rhinoshield, dbrand, etc are a bit too expensive.

Ohh I didn't know there is a Full-Body Coverage option for Screen Protectors! I've got their Skins previously and its really good quality! I was also satisfied with their packaging and it shouted quality to me. I still have the Skins on my phone and there hasn't been any reason yet to replace them. I think I shall give the Full-Body Protector a try this time!
Also, any good Case recommendations if any?
Edit: Its been almost a year since I wrapped my Z Fold with Skins from Gadgetshieldz, Posting a Snap of the 1 Year condition of the Skins!
Im surprised its still in perfect condition and the black leather was a solid option for the fold! Im liking it more as I look at it even after a year

I use Matte Screen Protector from Gadgetshieldz and for full body protection, I went with their Skins. My A54 looks extra good with these Skins! Ive been using their screen protectors for ages now and its never failed to disappoint me. Ive always gone with their Full-Body protector for my phones to cover every part of my device but this time I went with their Skins for the body protection because I loved it on my Xiaomi Pad. They are still on and it looks like new! So I got them for the A54 too but this time a different design!
