I had been searching the forums \ internet for two days, and I could not get any answer on how good the companies Claim is.
I even posted the same thing on nexus thread and it had fallen on deaf ears!
the question is does those products REALLY protect, how much protection? is it a Placebo etc etc?
so how about this:
1- I will buy Phone Screen digitzer only.
2- get multiple product and apply them on sections of the glass, with one part without any substance.
3- let them dry.
4- Test across and check which one does a better job, or if it does better job than bare screen.
only problem in the plan is that it requires money:
so I can setup donation account just up to the value of those materials.
or even get sample from people who have some (it does not need to cover whole screen, only partial).
alternatively if high feedback user wants to do this instead, I can start by donating to him.
this experiment need to be unbiased, controlled, and well thought of. i.e. no companies donating products, or people defending what they bought.
also this experiment will not be only helpfull to the current gen product, it would help in the future phones that you would buy
ideally an article written on the main site etc to cover all aspects.
if this is against the rules then I am happy to delete the post.

A while back I saw a vid on this new compound d30..lots of youtube vids on it, amazing stuff. Anyways, seeing how they designed a case for the iphone, thought I would shoot them an email...just got the response..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4uMTZWh0Rc&feature=fvw

I'm supprised to see more people aren't interested in this. The whole theory behind this design is to have something on your phone designed to absorb major impact, rather than transfer it. Anyone heard of carbon fiber? Now race car drivers can hit a wall at 200 mph and walk away. With the $500 investment and the high likleyhood of the phone hitting the concrete at one point, this stuff is pretty exciting.
This d30 stuff is starting to show up in a lot of different products. Many of which are personal protection. Theres a video out there of some guy wearing a beanie lined with this stuff, and another guy beating him over the head with a shovel. Not that I'm interested in trying that, but it seems like some pretty good stuff to make a phone case out of.
The material seems cool enough, I'd like to see the case in person to get a feel for what it's like.
I do like how the cases are slim and seem to offer decent protection, I'm kind of surprised that they would throw the phone onto rocks without any kind of screen protection, it seems an unlucky toss would result in a broken screen.
Hi, all.
Nice to meet you.
Recently, there are a lot of people asking me, what are the uses of a case. There are so many different types of cases in the market. How to classify the quality of cases...etc
For my answer is: It depends. It depends on the needs of users. Some may mainly focus on functions, some may focus on the color, some may consider more on the materials used.
For me, there are not a very harsh regulations or requirements. But, some basic principles must be reached.
1. Give a full protection to the mobile device.
Many viewers must have an unhappy experience about breaking down of mobile phone. In order to avoid the expensive repairing fee, I suggest my friends to buy a long-lasting case instead of a cheap case with no warranty on quality.
At least, the cases should hold the mobile devices tightly even falling from an acceptable height. I have seen some phones will slip out even falling off from half of the human height.
2. I believe that cases should match the role of the owners. In the same case, it is difficult to accept a student to use a briefcase as a schoolbag. So, the products' designers should consider different roles of users. So that their products can gain the largest market share, and become more popular around the world.
What is your view on the uses?

Both are as useless. Wipe water on your screen to obtain the same effect.

have you try it, I find it hard to bielive that such thing exist too.
however I know for sure that it does repel liquid, and prevent it sticking to the glass, which implies that it DOES create a layer on top of the glass.
and by the way I am not talking drop test here, its more of day to day usage in the pocket
You might also want to try and compare these products to Rain-X. it puts a thin layer of wax over glass....most likely a similar product.
Recently a new Facebook group appeared in my feed called "Otterbox is a joke". I suspect that it was created by one of my friends that had a bad experience and that he possibly can't afford a new phone or something. He/she is expecting a replacement phone.
The groups admin posted this:
Mine fell on the side of the case on concrete. The rubber side. it shouldn't have broken.

My opinion is that Otterbox and other companies have always and will always only support their product, not the smartphone/device inside their product. They can not predict real world physics for every situation, there are just too many factors to 100% protect a device. It's even in their warranty information when you buy it. These products exist because of consumer worry and they bank on that, it might save a few devices occasionally, but not always.
I have the Otterbox Commuter on my Note II, no issues. For this type of case I still expect the phone to break if dropped since the screen is so large it has a high probability of contacting something. Falling from any distance, onto concrete; the force alone would cause most phones to break, even if it hits the bumper. I would honestly rather have a reduced chance of breaking rather than carrying around a bulky full body case.
Anyways, I would like to know what you guys think about these liabilites. Vote in the poll if you'd like.
As long as there's nowhere written that the case will keep you phone safe no matter what, they shouldn't and they are not liable for how the user cares for his phone. Cases help protecting the phone, not make it fool proof.
And, sorry to tell you this, but IMHO if your friend dropped his phone, then he's not careful enough. If he expects that the company making the case to pay him the value of the phone, then he's a fool*.
Have a nice day!

You don't have to be sorry to tell me that, I completely agree with you.
Hello guys
I've made a few posts but never an introduction. Anyways I'm not the most familiar with a lot of android stuff like "rooting" and such but I do have a vast knowledge of different skill. I do professional detailing and use ALOT of products. Not all the products are relevant but some definitely are. I see a lot of BS claims on here about scratch resistance and hydrophobic coatings. I currently run a sony C6906 on AT&T, anyways I've been using some of my professional products on my phone. I use Car-pro Hydro2 which coats the entire phone as it is not like a conventional solution but actually spreads by using water to activate. The application takes about 5 seconds and lasts about 3-4 months easy. AS far as coatings go the liquid sapphire that I read about seems ok but dealing with products that provide professional results I can say there are only two products that can provide a decent level of protection Opti-coat 2.0 or CQuartz Finest. In the next few weeks I'll be playing with ways to remove scratches from the glass itself. I have some idea's, right now pure cerium oxide or Car-pro Ceri-glass are the most likely candidates. Hope this helps, I'll try to contribute what I can since I'm a little android illiterate.
Cheers
