Hey everyone, I got my Z1 today
I love it and i want to protect it yet still behold it's beauty, that's why I need your help.
I didn't find one eligible case yet, I want a brand transparent case that is countable, I liked the Spigen crystal clear for nexus 5, yet they don't make cases for Z1 .
Can anyone recommend me of a good case they know of?
Thanks!!
Go look in Z1 Cases and Covers thread
I've also been looking for one. I found it, but charging pins are covered so it's not going to work for me...
Anybody knows about a transparent case with an access to the charging pins?
Good luck with going through 37 pages to find this one particular case. I'm not trying to find ANY good looking case that protects the device. If I would then I'd surely go through at least 10 pages. I went through three and nothing.

I would go to different thread...
But if you insist on staying here I might as well recommend you fox fit gel shell. It is transparent on the back but cornea are very well protected. Charging is left uncovered. The very best case I have ever had on any phone. The only downside, it starches easily...

Here you are.. I bought it from different site though..

Thank you.
Any chance that you could make some pictures of it on your phone from back, both sides and front? Preferably with your phone in it. Also please tell me how hard is it to press the buttons because my friend got a case for his XS and the power button is very hard to press.

This case scratches as hell. You scratch the hell out of it just by touching the back transparent part of the case. Huge disappointment.

Why don't you look at cheap transparent silicone gel cases.
Sony Xperia Z1 Wave Plastic Back Case
This is an example though i found similar for cheaper. They cover the phone completely and are easy to remove. Some expose the magnetic docking port others do not. Best to find one that does if you have a magnetic charger.
What i've noticed is the hard shell cases leave the top & bottom exposed whereas the gel cases cover it completely. The lip isn't as prominent compared with other bumpers but its there so the screen won't get scraped unless you press on it.
Whether all round covering causes a problem with faster heating is something i'm unsure of. In which case then a bumper with exposed back is better. You'd have to get a protector for the back.
Sure, here are the pictures.
I need to say that I have tried about covers for Z1 and this is the only one that covers everything that needs to be covered and leaves important ports accessible. It is the best case I have ever had.
Only downside are those scratches..
Cheers

Yes, I am charging that way right now. It works great, charger holds better with the case on. (It is falling off when there is no case on the phone)
And buttons are easy to press.
Second best case I won is nillkin case. It is not transparent but still very good looking and you can charge without taking it off. But magnetic charger fits better to the roxfit case (transparent one)

Thank you very very much for taking those photos for me. I think that it truly is the best case that will not make my phone harder to use nor ruin it's looks. I really appreciate this. Going to use up at least 10 thanks for you today

a few days with case until I receive my skin from DBrand or slickwarp
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Always a case; I'm just not that coordinated to ensure I won't drop it. I try to keep a clear TPU on mine so I can appreciate the metal finish. (And I just cannot possibly comprehend the attraction of someone "skinning" a unibody metal object to "look" like it's wood.)
I have had the Iceview case on my test unit (because that's how they wanted us to test it), but I put a Fosmon clear TPU on my own device. I might every once in a while slip it into an Iceview: (1) when the price comes down and; (2) if they ever come up with a clear-backed Iceview like the Dotview Ice case for the M9.
Naked. The 10 is too nice to wrap in plastic.
Naked. I will point out though, be very careful of having the phone up against your shoulder as the finish will not give you any grip. I've already nearly dropped it twice and it's a problem I didn't have on my m8.
naked... I never use a case or screen protector. Only once out of 10 or so smart phones has this decision bit me.

My spigen neo hybrid will be here tomorrow along with screen protectors. I hate covering it with a case but I'm way too anal about my devices being in mint condition. I don't drop my phones and can count on one hand how many times I've dropped any of them in the last 10 years but these metal finishes are too slick to risk it.

I have being using HTC phones for the last 6 years changing it every year. When I got the HTC One M7, I asked my self "what is the point to have such a beautiful phone to hide it inside of an ugly case?.
I did not wanted it to be damaged (Flagship phones are not cheap), therefore I started looking for some alternatives, I tried different products, some of them make the phone opaque make the phone to look completely different, some did not last and peel off easily, others, did not work with globes, and so on. Finally I found the " Invisible Shield" from Zaggs and so far I am really satisfied with the product.
It is film that self stick to the phone and it is completely transparent, it is like a gel with memory so it will absorb the impact in case of a phone drop and it covers the full body, therefore you can still enjoy the beauty of the phone with some sort of protection. On top of that it gives the phone an extra grip since the metal bodies are kind of slippery. The only bad thing is that you will probably have to change it twice a year since it peels off a little on the corners of the phone, probably because of the round corners of all the HTC devices.
Last year when i got my HTC One M9, I only installed the Invisible shield on the back of the phone and I had nothing to protect the screen. As of today my screen is still scratch free. Probably because of the Gorilla Glass.
I got my new HTC 10 today, unfortunately Zagg does not have the invisible shield for it yet, so I guess i will take my chances and use it naked until the invisible shield for it becomes available.
dbrand skinned him... waiting for the shipment so far....

I wouldn't mind going naked on this phone. I just hate the fact that when you set it down it lays directly on the camera lens glass.

Outside of pretty, i believe HTC Ones are struddy enough to be able to handle a few drops, or in-pocket stratches. as long as you can live with lil marks here and there, "go naked"!
I got the Spigen thin case to start with. It has a grippy feel to it, so that helps. I tried going naked w/ my current chrome Xperia Z5 premium for a few days (w/ the glass protectors on both side), but it was too slippery and I was afraid I'd drop it. Plus someone mentioned how the 10's camera lens sticks out - I wouldn't want to lay it face down on it either. I've had phone camera lenses scratched before.
I am looking for some good screen protectors who will fit the screen perfectly.

I ordered the exact same one, mainly because of the full coverage & rounded edges.
I'm interested if anyone finds one that fits. I've tried some Amazon ones. Either you get a halo, too short et .. Fortunately I could return all those.
I have on order two more hopefully to find one that'll fit...
I also ordered one that is probably the same thing but from a different seller.

I was looking for one from nillkin, but currently there is nothing for Xperia XZ.
Not this one
Stay away from this sh**t
https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B01M15HYVG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I rated it 1/5
Not flat, no touch screen around the borders, feels and sounds plastic, very reflective
I wanted to keep it until I find a new one (for protection) but couldn't stand it more than 2 hours
I've ordered this one

Unfortunately that is glue only around the edges.
Same as the one I bought from Amazon.
It's not worth it, you'll notice the corners are less responsive. And given time the protector will literally fall off the phone as and when you drop the phone.
I found orzly and nillkin. What do you think about.

the nillkins are made smaller so they're not an edge to edge, but unless someone makes a 100% functioning edge to edge protector it may end up teh way to go.

Thank you, ordered H+ Pro from Nillkin. (Used them previously, awesome quality).
I ordered Mikvon screen protectors from Amazon they don't' go edge to edge and they are not glass (it's silicone) but they also offer a back protector that cover the metal portion of the rear. For those that want to go case-less it's a cheap alternative. The material is pretty smooth and feels close to vinyl. I tried to intentionally scratch it and it does scratch up but at least it'll protect the phone itself. Still waiting for my other stuff to arrive.

I've received it.
The size is perfect and it covers the screen and sides fully.
But, the edges only are glued so it may pop up easily.
Also the protector is too much reflective, my phone looks like a cheap toy and it's hard to read text.

$45 for a case and screen protector? WTF!!!
Had my Rhinoshield case & screen proctector for about a week the case feels like quality.
The screen protectors are great it's my 3rd. I've never had broken screen not once on my Z3C. I unfortunately dropped that heaps of times no damage.
I can tell you it doesn't cover the curves of the screen just the flat but then I don't know if their is a SP made by anyone the also curves around screen sides.
I bought a PlayProof case and really really fine...
i also bought the bundle from rhinoshield and it looks great and feels like high quality. SP doesn't cover the round edges, but I'm ok with that
RhinoShield sent me a Playproof case which hasn't got a hole top of phone. But they accepted their mistake and will send a new one...
I have this one friday:

Received forest blue. Took a while.
The feel of the case is sublime.
Ever so slightly bulkier then the skinny orzly.
However this playproof proves for far better protection for sure.
And seriously feels complete and bonafide.
Also the tactile 3D buttons for the camera and volume rocker are defined and effective, possibly even easier to use than the naked device tbh.
Ergonomics adhere to the design and doesn't take to much away from the phones appealing asthetics.
Cutouts and finishing of the overall product is high grade.
Really like this case.
Worth the wait!

I bought the same one the day I got my XZ.
Sadly I had to remove this (rather expensive glass) after a week, because after cleaning my XZ with water I ended up having water underneath the tempered glass.
My brother placed it for me because I kinda have shaky hands lol so I don't dare to do it myself.
Not sure if he did something wrong in the applying process of this glass, but it fit perfectly and looked fine, too bad about the water underneath after a week.
I'm looking for something different and less expensive now lol. Going to visit some phone shops here in the city this afternoon.
The RhinoShield case + SP combo is something I might try out later too
Sent from my Sony Xperia XZ using XDA Labs
I've ordered the Rhinoshield Playproof case and tempered glass combi aswell.
I will probably get it next week.
Hope this glass protector will suit me.
I've tried Panzer Glass and Roxfit screen protectors but both didn't work well for me.
I hope the screenprotector from RhinoShield will be better.
Otherwise ill probably be forced to go back to Panzer Glass, since thats the only one i've tried that covered the whole screen.
Edit: Just came across this video from Orzly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzbMi2fhdes
This one seems very nice to me aswell and seems to fully cover the screen... so if the RhinoShield turns out to be dissapointing, Orzly will be next on my list to try
It looks like a nice product.
The fingerprint scanner and the notch opened for the power button have been very clever.
Has anyone had problems with the Playproof case, it looks like mine is separating at the corners. I've sent pictures off to Rhinoshield and am hoping they warranty it. I'll post up some pictures shortly.
Overall though it's been a good slim case, and has done its job.

My case is doing the same thing at all four corners, but I haven't contacted them about it.
---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------
I can also attest to the case being able to survive a 3+m drop, I managed to accidentally drop it from 4+m and not a thing wrong with the phone.
It also has the Rhinoshield screen protector as well but I've already had it replaced once it lifts to easily at the edges and corners.
I never did post pictures, but did contact Rhinoshield, I have a new case coming, I had to pay for shipping. The customer service is great!
I am really worried about this to the point where I am considering keeping the phone in the box until my ordered case come...
So does it come with a case?
Please state your country...
No, never heard of any new Samsungs coming with a case

Mine came with one clear case. Dubai. Great to protect right off the box.

It's a very nice case, but doesn't offer the protection I am looking for, I had the Spigen Rugged Armour for my S7 too, very nice case
It must be a country thing. All that comes with the US version is a set of ear buds.
Free cases are region dependent for the S9. To my knowledge, both the North American and European markets do not come with any case. The rest of the world however, get the free clear case in the box.

But this Rugged Armour does not protect the front glass that in my opinion it is the most important.

You mean with a screen protector?
I would prefer a lip above the screen face to protect from falls and drops onto the screen, than a piece of glass/plastic over the screen and the screen itself still above the edge of the case
Plus I keep touching the screen when taking photos and changing the mode by mistake, I need a bezel to stop that happening

if you drop your phone against a stone for example, it will not protect your screen. I will try my case because it was the only one that protect the front face. It will be a try.
I guess sharing different opinions will be very useful for everybody to find the best case to protect our phones.

So, when I was looking for cases for my OnePlus 7 Pro, I wanted a case that would show off the back of this gorgeous nebula blue phone without anything covering it up. I found the Rhinoshield CrashGuard, however, I was looking around for reviews, pictures, anything detailed about it from users who've purchased it and couldnt find anything decent, very little criticism or anything. So, here ya go.
This case is not great at all. To start, its not rubber, or grippy in any way. Its a kind of plastic, and the interior of the case is the same kind of plastic, no cushioning aside from a kind of honeycomb pattern (which probably doesnt help on protection at all). Honestly still slippery, maybe not as bad as the phone by itself but you could still easily drop it.
Next are the buttons. To put it bluntly, they're horrible. The volume buttons don't seem to line up quite properly, and often they'll be super spongy as they aren't making proper contact with the buttons. The absolute worst is the cover for the slider. It simply doesnt work properly, it doesnt always move the slider, so you'll have to push hard for it to kind of slot in to move from ring to vibrate to silent. Its bad.
Next is the camera cutout. This seems like something that could have so easily been avoided had RhinoShield actually tested the case first before producing it. To put it short, it covers up the camera because it's 1) too thick, and 2) the curves of it just dont work with the camera. Rather than having a smile-shaped curve like it does, if it had been a U or box shaped sort of cutout, the whole problem could have been avoided. As it stands, for it to not cover up the camera, I had to take a knife and some sandpaper to grind it down, and its still not perfect.
Now protection: it provides next to none. The top and bottom of the case are thick and keep the back/front of the phone off it's glass when laid on a flat surface, but the sides are very thin, so the back and front of your phone are vulnerable in every scenario except a perfectly flat surface. A corner of a table, for example, will touch the back of the phone.
All in all, the case is an utter failure in every aspect. Rather than providing some form a protection, it instead makes using the phone significantly more difficult due to its poor button placement and other glaring design issues, and the effort it goes to to protect the glass with lips is next to zero, as it fails to keep the phone off it's glass sides in all cases except a perfectly flat surface.
Don't buy this case.
Who this case is for: people who dont like using their phone.
Who this case isn't for: Everyone else.
Yes but do you like it?

No not at all lol. I promptly removed it. I might query Rhinoshield for a return, but after my uh, physical modifications to the case, I doubt theyd take it. I tried to make it work but OCD and frustration together with the case's poor design and lack of function made me decide it wasn't worth the hassle.
I could not disagree anymore with you.
Every single wrong thing you're stating I can't relate to except the buttons may be a little to spongy.
The grip is nowhere near slippery and nowhere near grippy. Its comfortable and feels great in the hand .
The camera cutout doesn't cover up the front camera for me at least.
The slider issue only occurs if you apply the cover wrong I had the same issue with my 6t but if you align the slider with the cover from day one it will tear down eventually.

I can assure you that I was putting the case on correctly. Even going as far as ensuring the slider and buttons lined up perfectly. I took the case off and put it back on many, many times. Never fixing the glaring issues.
would you like to sell your case?

Hmmm I like how that looks in the picture, but I dont have much trust in AliExpress due to past experiences. Do let me know how that one turns out, how it fits and such.

If you are buying always cheapest things and without reviews on Aliexpress there could be a crap. But i like Aliexpress uv glass - 1.5$ and IT is great.

Honestly I really like my rhinoshield case. I've used them on my past Samsung devices and had no issues. The have protected my phone from anywhere to 3ft to 5ft onto concrete surfaces. I'm sure for the price you could probably get a better case but this is the only one I have found that lets me show off the back while still offering an ok level of protection.
I've bought Rhinoshield cases in the past and can't stand them for Android phones. I had one for my Nexus 6P and Pixel, returned both of them. The only one I liked was the one for the iPhone that covered the back too (a different model)

Looks like this. Fits very well. But I don't like how phone holds in hand.

Have the same case and disagree. Buttons work fine, feels good in the hand, looks great and I've dropped my phone about 3x and not a scratch on it. The cutouts all seem fine as well.
Either I'm not as picky or you got a lemon (in which case I'd contact them if I were you).
The absolute worst is the cover for the slider.

Try and set the alert slider and the slider on the case to the top most position and then put the phone in. This makes it work perfectly for me.
