So i ordered a grey bumper and have had it now for a few days and decided to tell you all my experience. The bumper has a very nice in hand feel, smooth and contoured nicely to the phones original shape. The case is also extremely light and adds minimal bulk about 1mm. The cutouts are all perfectly cut as this case is made for the Nexus and the application and removal of the case are easy and fluid. The only slight issue at first is the button feel which is a bit stiff but after using it for days it loosens up some and becomes second nature. I here alot of people *****ing about the price but afterr spending less on some cases that were tripe in the build quality and returning them all this case is quality. It also allows for the Qi charger to work through it. Last but not least i like the Nexusy design and the fact that it has Nexus etched on the back. I do not want to conceal the fact that i have a Nexus. here are some pictures if you have any questions just ask?
had to post on a different reply wouldnt allow me to add to thread for some reason

I too have this Case but I find that the longer i have it the more the sides of the case get washed out. THe colour is fading away. Do you have that 2?
First off, thanks for taking the time for the review.. How much of a lip does the case have.. Do you think one would be able to use the "Spigen Google Nexus 5 Screen Protector Glass Slim [Crystal] (0.23mm) GLAS.tR NANO SLIM (SGP10667)" tempered glass screen protector with the case..?

Yeah the color on the gray one starts to get weird pretty quickly. I noticed the corners getting smudged and also picking up the color from my pants. I would hate to think how it would look after a few months.

Right, Same here. It also pickes up the colour of my pants. Not a lot. But every day a little bit. Hope to getting a black one.
I will def keep an eye on it but so far nothing , maybe its because I do not put it in my pants
How is the feeling when you hold it?
It's the same "rubber plastic" of the original phone or not?

To those who are receiving discoloration. Get a refund or exchange. I'm sure there is a warranty
Also, in regards to the discoloration, what happens if you wipe it? I know, basic question, but you never know.

i didn't bother to try using some cleaning fluid or soap on it, but it was more than something you could just wipe away with your hand. i don't know whether the color was like impregnated into the plastic or if it was just on the top. basically get the black one to avoid discoloration
I just orderd my black one.. About time..!
I might order a red one as well black is just to blah

As the title suggests. I know it has reinforced gorilla glass but I will still be wary of picking up scratches even though I'm sure the phone can handle most things thrown at it. I am just not comfortable with spending so much cash without putting a screen cover on for that extra peace of mind.
I was not aware of how strong gorilla glass is until I saw someone jabbing their galaxy s2 screen with stanley knife on youtube recently.
I also have a gel case for my SG2 and I have never dropped it in the year that I've had it but I just feel that when buying something at first, you need to take that bit of 'extra' care of it - does anyone else feel this way?
case definitely, screen protector never
I always order an cheap ass TPU case from ebay. That works good.
Looking at some clips on Youtube, then no, i don't think i'll bother with a screen protector, but yes for me for a case, not dropped my Desire in the 20+ months i've had it, but you never know.

Do you remember any clips in particular? I'm still not convinced about the gorilla glass - although I want to be, simply because I HATE applying screen protectors -_-
This one makes me think i won't bother with protector........turn the volume down though.
Just a leather pouch, no screen protector. Don't really like cases, they make the phone HUGE (and it's already big.. ).
Definitely, I like to keep my phones as clean/new looking as possible.
I'll get a leather slip pouch as I have with my desire s and iPhone 3g before it. The HTC ones are really nice quality.
I'm unsure about screen protector, I have one on my desire s but never drop it and gorilla glass looks very resistant

Yes to both! I've had my SGS2 for nearly a year in May, I've not dropped it heavily but last week I was caseless and big drop from my hands and got two nasty dents on the bezel and scratches on the back plastic! Will learn my lesson and never take it out caseless again! I was horrified when I saw them
The white version will only show dents more than the grey/black version!
I'm incredibly obsessive about protecting anything I spend more than £100 on.
So, yeah.. Soft case and screen protector for me.
I'm going for a nice pouch, I don't like the added weight and seize of a case.

I don't think I'll bother with either initially, the phone's large enough without adding more to it. Might invest in a rubber cover when I get bored of the stock white colour later on.

I hate cases. I don't think I've ever had one on any phone I've owned. Screen protectors however, for me, are a must.
After watching that video I had to support the company that made it cause it's a pretty clever system they've come up with. I don't even care for dry install protectors but I had to try it. The fact that not only do you get 2 screen protectors with each order, you get the mold or jig specific to your device which ensures a properly installed protector every time.
I ordered mine off eBay from a seller named icapsale-istt. The product ships from S.Korea...I bought mine on the 9th, late in the evening, it arrived today. Pretty damn fast shipping if you ask me, especially since they estimated it wouldn't get to me until between 6.26.12 - 7.10.12. Obviously I can't do a product review since I don't have my device yet but rest assured I will once I get it installed.
**Update 6.30.12**
Alright fellas, got it on...installation was as straight forward as the video shows except you do have to get some bubbles out. So before you take off the top layer make sure you use the squeegee to get them all out. Unfortunately I got a spec of dust right smack dab in the middle of my screen but it's not noticeable unless the screen is off so for now it stays. First thing I noticed was the rainbow effect on the protector when the screen is off...when it's on I don't see any abnormalities. The screen feels the same as if it were naked. It doesn't cover the whole screen for obvious reasons (beveled edge around the screen) but during normal useage you don't even realize it. No banding, no rainbow effect, very clear, doesn't seem to effect the display negatively at all. Touch sensitivity is no different than without the protector on. The only thing about this is the price, it's pricey. That being said, it's not head and shoulders better than any other dry install protector i've ever used so hard to justify the price unless you're a noob and that concerned with installing one that the included jig will make you rest that much better...or if you're like me and just wanted to support the company who came out with such a setup for their ingenuity.
Overall, it's a nice protector that will ensure proper placement everytime...if only it could prevent dust as well But the price will turn most off, especially for this type of protector considering most of this type are about a quarter of the price or less. There is no rubbery feel on the display and it looks just as beautiful as it did when it was naked. I give this product an 8/10 only because of the price, would have been a 9 otherwise.
If I was not getting a otterbox defender I would get this. I hate putting screen protectors on wrong and this makes it so you can't.
yeah let us know how well they work. I am interested in seeing some close up shots of it installed as well.
I just purchased one as well!
I'm currently in S.korea and the SS3 isn't even out here yet, I wonder if I can get these here.
It's probably a lot cheaper here (just look at the prices of SGP in Korea compared to the rest of the world).
And does the screen protector cover the whole glass area?

How did it go?
Just got this in yesterday. Took off my XtremeGuard, and these screen protectors are pretty crystal clear and nice.
One problem is their cut. Unless if you have a case, they do not cover the whole phone but for good reason. The phone is a bit curved near the ends so if the hard plastic stretched all the way out it would float and not stick at all.
These are also reusable. To reinstall or reapply I suggest getting a lint remover, peeling off one of the tapes and just sticking your screen protector on it. This way it will remove any dust and you can reapply it.
It also feels great, if you have sweaty or oily hands, this screen protector will accommodate you. Application was easy, I just had a difficult time due to my dogs shedding in the summer heat... they are leaving a lot of hair around.
Summary: I would recommend it. Shipping takes forever though, like 2 to 3 weeks.

Thanks given :good: Nah man, it feels good. When I first installed an XtremeGuard, as much as I like that protector, it was noticeably tackier than the naked screen. This protectors feels as if it is the naked screen. As for the rainbow thing, yep, exactly as you just said. but turn the phone on and look for the rainbows or any other display defect and you're gonna be hard pressed.

Seems interesting. Is this whole body protection or just the screen? 30 bucks for just the screen seems a bit much. For that price I'd be more likely to get a glass screen protector.

I ordered one yesterday, so should get here on Monday. Ill post some picks. No videos though, I could never even think about doing that to my phone!
Well, finally got er on.
Pros
-protects the screen very well
-covers most of the screen, leaving only the speak and above, and the camera hole not covered. (and the button I suppose).
-feels smooth
Cons
-gets marked up very easily (just using the applicator left marks on it.....the plastic thingy)
-feels kind of rubbery to the touch (although it is smooth).
-still has a bit of a rainbow effect......a bunch of little rainbow pixels that I have been trying to get rid of.
I don't know what I want to do....there are marks on the screen already, but this thing really protects and covers the whole screen.
Just looking at it again, and it seems to be peeling up the sides like all the other ones.
Im going to leave it until morning and see what I wake up to.....
Hmm... are you using a case as well? Maybe I should have waited before I ordered mine

Sorry, to update....
It is a very sweet protector!
The sides settled down after a day or two and no problems at all.
Screen is clear and finger prints are not a problem.
Recommended for anyone that wants some extra protection.
One small problem....if you have a case that comes up and over the edges of the screen, you may have some problems. My gel case would cause the sides to peel up, do I'm using a slim case now

Got a different case because my diztronic was not having this protector at all.. works great.
Problem with mine is, I didn't align perfectly, so sides are a little off. But I spent too damn long applying it and had many dust problems, so I said screw it.(Also botched my first one -_-)
How is the screen clarity compared to not having the screen protector? I've tried the Zagg stuff and although nice protection, orange peel look and feel of plastic really got to me after a while.

I find it's somewhat similar to a ZAGG, not as orangy, but definitely not as smooth as naked either. You notice it the first time, but I just glide now that I got used to it. This obviously isn't the answer you were looking for, but it's the best I could do @[email protected]

Actually it does help, looking closely at your pictures, I can see where the buff protector starts comparing it to the white of the phone, there is a slight tint, so your right it is not as orange but still there. But I might sacrifice the smoothness since the buff protection from shocks is amazing, and from the number of cracked screens I have been hearing about with this phone, I think I may need it.

Glad I could help bro, I didn't apply the screen protector too well also. It seems to be more on the right side of the phone, but yeah.. I just got too tired man. I iced my first one, and the second one took equally as long and painful due to dust cleaning. Sometimes I just can't win! I'm happy with it though. Now I know my phone can take a brick at it, kinda.
Hi,
is there a film for the slippery back?
Something that sticks good to your hand even when the hand is very dry.
I don't want to use a case. For the iPhone, i had a couple of years ago, there was a film that had a texture a little bit like an orange
and had to be applied with a little bit of water.
Any one knows something like that for the z3c?

Same. I've had my phone for 9 days now and noticed multiple very fine scratches on the back but the front looks fine, I've never had any scratches on my phones before. Plus the back is too slick and needs some extra grip.

Look up "flexible innovations." They make something call egrips. There is an iPhone 5 kit. The back piece of that kit fits ok on the Z3C. A little ugly, perhaps, but extremely grippy.

Their quality is hit and miss. I had one for my G-pad 8.3 and it was awful. Its not bad for temporary use but dbrand is by far the best that I have used so far.
Received the Skinomi today. The carbon fibre back isn't heavily textured, but it's not as slick as the glass back. As for the screen protector, I've never been particularly skilled applying them so I have a couple air bubbles and possibly a speck of dirt underneath it. I'll wait a couple days to see if they work themselves out.

Its a lot better than without but if xtremeguard get a back protector I will order one.
The verizon branded S8+ screen protector is great quality, cheap and easy to install. (I purchased it for $26 on the VZW website)
All you have to do is clean up your phone real nice
Then set it inside of the guide piece that comes in the box.
Take off the plastic from the sticky side and set the screen protector on the guide.
Push down on the protector and take off the plastic from the upper side of the protector and BOOM you're done.
It fits in cases without lifting and doesn't cover any of the sensors.
The only complaint I would have is that you can see some dots in direct sunlight but that's a non-issue if you turn the brightness up or just don't be in direct sunlight
Let me know what you guys think. I recommend you try one for yourself. Looks better in person. sorry for the giant pics
If you have any questions about it let me know. Oh and there are no dead spots for touch and it responds no loss in sensitivity.
More pics by request
I really like that application method! I may need to stop by a Verizon store. I wonder if an easy, exact application like that may alleviate some of the issues with the curved glass protectors...

The verizon branded S8+ screen protector is great quality, cheap and easy to install. (I purchased it for $26 on the VZW website)
All you have to do is clean up your phone real nice
Then set it inside of the guide piece that comes in the box.
Take off the plastic from the sticky side and set the screen protector on the guide.

Does that have cutouts or it's a whole screen?

I feel like it did, for me at least. Took the guess work out of it.

Do you mean for the sensors? It has a big cutout that keeps the glass from going near any of them.

True, it doesn't help that the camera on my moto Z isn't the best either.
Can you take some more pictures? Where is the adhesive located? Only on the edges like other models or is the entire surface covered? Black border or no border?

It is along the edges as far as I can tell, similar to the others and there is a black border on the protector itself like them too, but I have yet to experience the clickyness that most curved glasses have in the center and it is the perfect size for multiple cases. Ill upload a couple more pics here in a few.

Doesn't interfere with that case I see. What is the name of that case

My experience with it has been exactly the opposite. It does not stick in place and can be moved around quite easily and its clicking non stop. The sensitivity is bad. The rep at Verizon put it on for me. Is it possible she did something wrong?

Dang, sorry to hear that. It's totally possible the she put it on wrong. If she didn't apply pressure around the edges enough before removing the guide. It could've moved to one side. Idk.
Great, now I am frantically calling all the Verizon stores in the area.

Lol should be free two day shipping on the website
Had to placed an order online since stupid Verizon wouldn't let me talk to a store salesperson and wanted me to be routed around. The only free shipping was 3-5 days ground.

Not to worry. I found one! Good guy Gurule92 sharing this find. Thanks! Super easy to apply. Clean, smooth, looks like it wont hold finger prints. Hope my Speigen wont make it pop off.
So I took the ops advice and bought one of the screen protectors. Cane out to like 28$ so a little pricey but not bad. My thoughts, the screen protector as of right now works perfect I have 0 problems with lifting, touch sensitivity etc. Install was very easy, and the protector feels like it's sticking well. Seems like it's case friendly but I do have 2 very minimalistic cases. The dot matrix is pretty easily noticeable at certain angles but mostly only on dark screens. Over all so far I'm very happy with it though. I can deal with the dot matrix to help protect this screen. When I installed I laid the screen protector on and pushed out from the center. My thought on this is its removing gap between the protector and screen and then sticking versus just sitting on top of the screen and pushing the sides down. Is it guaranteed to work like that? Probably not, but it did work for me
