If you want the best protection for your device, get online and pre order the Rhinoshield Bumper for the z3 compact. They need 1500 orders to go into production!
Www.evolutivelabs.com
Here's a direct link to the pre-order page http://www.evolutivelabs.com/pages/crashguard-sony-z3-compact
Though I wouldn't call it the "best" protection as it's still inherently just a bumper that leaves the front and back exposed. But as far as non-intrusive options go, this one has my vote by far. Paired with front and back tempered glass protectors this will offer a lot of protection (dat drop test) without sacrificing the phone's sex appeal.
Here's the kickstarter for the iphone version that garnered a lot of attention: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1081571316/rhinosheild-crash-guard-slim-impact-bumper-for-iph
I really hope this gets made, but the pre-order numbers at this point are discouraging.
If you want to see this made, other than pre-ordering yourself, we need to spread the word to some mainstream channels.

To be fair, that one was started before pre-orders were possible and doesn't really have much content or discussion in the first 5 pages other than "I'd like this" or "yes please".
To be fair this is still a duplicate post of the same thing.
preorders should pick up this week as the phones finally get shipped in the US. But we're still looking at 70+ days before getting the bumper even if preorder-target is met (45-day manufacturing period after preorder period) so I imagine a lot of people might want to buy another, readily-available, case.

Has anyone here noticed a slight hump on the rear case it location is central on the spine about 2 thirds of the way down. It is a above a recess on the inside of the case which accommodates the plastic retaining lug for the SIM card. Its very minor, I only noticed it when I was rubbing my finger over the case, I just wanted to check with other people to eliminate the possibility its a defect on mine.
Other than this its the best smart-phone I have ever used, well worth the wait as I am a Handtec customer.
Thanks for checking
Have it too, but it is really difficult to spot.
I cannot see it with my eyes, basically only feel and you have to be very careful to notice it even then.
I can't feel or see this if it is there.
only found it because you made me search for it
wish i didnt read this thread. now im going to look for it, find it, and be displeased by it.
Not on mine...
i noticed it the other day as well
it is there but I don`t care.

neither do I, as other people have said it very very minor.
It's a great handset I'm very happy with it and will be more happy when the official screen protectors are available.
if it wasn't there the cover would have to be a couple of mm thicker to accommodate the recess on the inside to clear the plastic lug. I think, on reflection, that this was a good idea on HTCs part.

nothing whatsoever here.
Maybe you have particularly fat SIM cards?
Ok, So a few months ago I bought zagg invisible shield for my MyTouch 4g. I followed the installation instructions and it looked pretty good. The next day the screen protector had developed very noticeable black 'streaks'.

This was obviously quite upsetting as they were quite distracting and I cant get them to rub off. I dont think they are on the outside though. I was able to replace it with the warranty, but shipping was pretty harsh and I had to ship it to an friend in the US and have them mail it to me so I could avoid some of the shipping cost. Anyway, I got it, watched the installation video again, cleaned the screen thoroughly and applied it. I then waited about 16 hours before using the device as per the instructions. THE SAME THING HAPPENED!!! The streaks developed after about 3 hours of use! Does this happen a lot with Zagg protectors? I would not recommend Zagg to anyone at this point. Sure they replace it for free but the product is not good based on what I've seen. I am not going to do the warranty again unless I know what I'm doing wrong because it is going to cost me more in shipping. Perhaps someone can recommend a product that doesn't do this or tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
zaggs are IMO overrated and a pain to install. I buy the inexpensive ones off ebay (5 for $1.70) and they haven't let me down

Zaggs are more difficult to apply correctly than mustard to a hot dog.

I'm not sure I follow. Isn't mustard quite easy to apply to a hotdog?
I ordered one from bestskinsever. Lets see how that goes...
Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this in, mods please move/delete if inappropriate.
I have access to a window sticker manufacturer who can do me some Waving Android window stickers like these:

I'm not after making a fortune off these, just a small handling and postage charge per sticker.
Would anyone be interested in them before I get him to make me a load?
Cheers,

How much for one
Sent from my LTEVO
I'm waiting to find out. If there's a demand for them I'll get a bunch printed up. May look at passing any profit onto an appropriate charity too. Suggestions would be welcomed.
Cheers,
BS...
Can get them made and posted for £3, so I'd probably go for £4 with the profit (after handling charge) going to charity. I'd say 60p going to charity from the sale of each one.
Cheers,
BS...
Renegotiated with the manufacturer and can now get them made and posted for £1.50, so I would sell them for £2.50 with 60p from each sale going to an appropriate charity.
The initial batch I've had made are 10cm wide, but I've asked for them to be increased in width to 15cm.
Is this the correct forum to sell these, or is there an actual place for selling on here?
Cheers,
BS...
Is your posted price only for shipping within the UK, or also for international orders?
That would be UK only, international postage rates would apply.
BS...
Quite disappointed with the response to be honest. I thought we might have a few more after them.
Oh well, it was worth a punt I suppose.
Cheers,

Ok, so I picked up the iPulse case on Amazon. Most of the time my phone is bare or with a non-flip case but when I travel or have a business meeting, I dress it up a bit and I can leave my wallet at home. I really hate PU Leather and wanted something that acted like a stand too. Am I asking too much? Yes... but I did find ALMOST everything I wanted in this case.
The case holds up to 3 cards (or 3 cards and a license like I did). The feel is totally premium.
The case that holds the phone is surprisingly soft and the cut outs are perfect. Buttons on the left are easy to get to. There is enough room in the middle to get to them.
I have 2 gripes. One, the pocket is supposed to hold paper cash BUT its just barely small. As a result, its kinda useless. The other is that I wish the corners were rounded more because it feels a little bulky and that would help tons. It is totally worth the price though. Link to it is here.

Hi,
I'm about to get a new S9 Eu version, it's in process by my carrier, but now I decided to look around @samsung US support and saw the gass around camera can break/shatter out of nowhere..
Anyone who reported it said he/she took care of it and it still happened.
Did anyone have this here or is this just a bad batch, from what I saw mostly US models..
Anyone?

I think you're worried about nothing. That thread is a mixture of the back glass is broken, the screen is broken, there's a hole over the 2nd camera lens, etc. Those posts are a tiny percent of the phones sold and I have no doubt that some of those phones were dropped or sat on.
I see, but no one said they sat on, apparently it just happened.
So its not so spread then?
Is this thread, question the only one like that on this forum?
Thanks
I just don't think the glass shattering for no reason is a problem to worry about. I would imagine that it's a tiny fraction of phones that may have gotten damaged during shipment but an even smaller percent that just breaks for no reason.
Ok thanks again, I also asked more around and yeah it looks like user error, they blamed samsung for their clumsiness. In a thought they would warrant it.
I asked one owner of S9 and also linked him that said thread and he said it's not like that, it is durable. Those who had such issue either sat on it and what not.
He also said he didn't use case at first and also bumped the phone in the gym to some weights, accidentally and it's still all ok.
So anyway, admin can close this thread.
I'm relieved now
FWIW, I've got an Otterbox Commuter case on mine and I've dropped it several times, mostly on hard floors and it's held up well. I carry mine in a front pocket and without a screen protector there are no scratches either.
