dbrand skins are out for Xperia Z3 Compact ( and Z3 ) - Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories

Since this beautiful handset tends to be prone to scratches (there are a lot of reports on small scratches which are a rare thing if the glass is Gorilla Glass) because Sony wanted to cut corners for the price and therefore not using a scratch resistance glass for the back nor the front, I recommend every z3c user to use a skin for both sides to apply a better protect for their expensive purchase which also helps with the self cracking issue and also the very sensitive touch response.

The best of the skins makers I think is dbrand and they just released their awesome product for z3c and z3 as well. They are very customizable to differentiate your device, with great quality and a very easy and precise method to apply and are well priced IMO.
I recommend every Z3C user to apply skins on both glass sides to decrease the worries about cracks and scratches.

No brown leather

Do you think using a tempered glass protector on the back then a skin is a better way to go?
Also the image you posted isn't showing.

Can you point me to a bac tempered k glass protector, I found the Ultimate Shield Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Sony Xperia Z3 Compact for £9.99
So I'm not sure whether to go for a glass on the back too? probably do need a vinyl protector which should make it less slippery.
How thick is your phone now with all the protectors on?

My phone fits in the Ringke Fusion case without to many probrems.

Sweet! just ordered the matte back. I had one of these for my nexus 4 and loved it. made a big difference for me.

How do you guys like the dbrand skins?

Hi, i'm interested to black "carbon fiber": using sometime a Puro Ultraslim 0.3 and a Nillkin super frosted shield i need to know the thikness of dbrand skin. With a standard back protector i have no problem, but with a Rhinoshield (about 0.27mm of thickness) i don't have perfect fit. I would like also to buy a Rigke Fusion (for outdoor use): anyone has dbrand carbon under a Fusion protection?

Damn it ... just ordered a Puro 0,3 some minutes ago -.-
Have a dbrand on my Nexus 4 and I love it!!

I have a black leather one on the way. When I get it and put it on, I'll post a photo.

Has anyone got their skins in the mail yet? I ordered two on Nov 18th and they emailed me on Nov 20th saying they were released from the warehouse, but I haven't received them yet. I ordered something from Hong Kong the same day I ordered the skins and I got the Hong Kong item a couple days ago.

Nope, haven't gotten mine either. I'll probably send dbrand an email about it soon.

Same problem
I have the same problem here... although I'm living in germany. My order was supposedly released on the 18th of November, and the ETA to Germany is 1-2 weeks, so its 1 week over its time...

Same situation with my skin. I'm afraid it will be exactly the same situation I had last year: ordered at the end of November, delivered to Poland around January the 10th ;(

I have always waited a pretty long time(I'm in the US) to get my order from them even after it says it's been released, considering they add $3 for shipping and it comes in an envelope with a stamp it should be faster. Now saying that their skins are very high quality. I think the company is probably 1-3 people and this is a side business so that could be the reason.

I haven't gotten mine either. I ordered on the first day it came out and my order was released from warehouse on the 18th but nothing yet. I'm on ConUS west coast. I've sent them an e-mail as a reply to the warehouse e-mail and through their website form but no response. I tweeted them yesterday and they said to e-mail but that they were migrating services or something and that their support was backlogged by 3,500 emails.
Seeing all the e-mails above aren't really reassuring though. Wonder what's up.

same issue: ordered Nov 15, past due, no skins
First post--have lurked here and learned so much great info.
It was this forum that clued me in to DBrand skins. I ordered two, but like many here--no shipment, no reply to polite email inquiry either. They must be busy but it seems that there are at least 5 of us here who all ordered approximately the same time--and none have yet received product, all are past longest estimated ship time and all have been charged. Really wish DBrand shipped with tracking info. Without that, I have no way of knowing if they were really shipped, lost in the mail, etc.
Am still hoping the skins show up, but am shocked it takes a month to get a letter from Canada to Ohio. Not a great 1st impression.

They had and probably still have problems with sending mails. Check their FB page for more info.
Regarding shipment time, according to my local post office (a piece of information from an owner of the place) shipment from Canada to Europe within 7-14 days is super optimistic, if not impossible. That's of course if dbrand is using the cheapest mail delivery option, their mail should come via ship, we shall expect more like 30-40 shipment time in Europe.

Nillkin LG Nexus 5 Anti-Explosion Tempered Glass Screen Protector

Anti-Explosion!!!!
i've used one of their thin cases before and liked the quality, especially given the cheap price. haven't had any experience with any of their screen protectors, but i'm hoping their quality extends to these new glass screen protectors.
just placed an order. will update once i've installed it.
$14.89 + FS from DX-BOX
Selected and used Japan imported AGC glass material and HARVES nanotechnology with excellent defensive performance. It owns super high transmittance and high restoring the original color of screen. It supports anti-glare coating to prevent glare derivative. Used tempered glass, its hardness up to 9H; scratch-resistant flowers and blowout. Its surface used Nanometer thin oil coating which is anti-fingerprint, oil rub resistance and effectively preventing and filtering ultraviolet ray. It also fused the global advanced screen protector process technology. Its thickness is only 0.3mm with precise CNC cutting technology. 2.5D edging craft make the film fit the screen easily, combine the film and phone body better. At the same time, there will no risk to hurt our hands in the process. It creates perfect edges; make the film thinner, clearer and safer.
Environmental and silicon coating; quicker adsorption and can be reused after cleaning.

Sounds interesting... a similar product can be the Orzly tempered glass,same thickness (0.3 mm).
The problem is that sellers are from China, and that means looong delivery time (for Europe, al least 1 month or two)

As far as experience tells, no orders I've done from China (and I purchased a lot) have been shipped in less than a month... At least, here in Italy. (I live in Milan).
I just bought the Orzly alternative... my guess is these glass screen protectors are more or less equivalent.
I'm scared however as I think the problems we all read about the Spigen product could also be noticeable on these glass protections.
Let me explain that: it's for sure a Spigen's fault, as probably these protectors have been cut on the basis of a CAD/CAM project, before getting in touch with the phone itself. No one could imagine that Nexus 5 front glass could present a slight irregularity before getting the phone in hand.
I wonder then if:
- Nillkin
- Orzly
- (who's next?)
products will overcome the problem.
It's all in the adhesive component, but I doubt they'll use a better silicon than Spigen.
However, for a bit more that 10 EUR including shipping in 3/4 businness days... it's quite worth it

here's a full product page, translated into english: http://nillkin.com/english/proshow.asp?mid=2&sid=0&tid=0&cid=1&scid=13&id=3702&page=1
they sure did put together quite a few promotional images, hah. it's too bad most of the text on the images isn't translated to english as well.
anyway, thanks for the heads up on the protector, OP. gonna subscribe to this thread and wait to hear how it performs.

Just ordered with the ePacket option. Looking forward to seeing how it holds up. N5 gets delivered in 9 hours or less . A case I picked up a day or two later, then this maybe next week. I'll leave a review when I get it and I'll get back to you on whether or not it fits with the case I got... Forget which one, I'll check Amazon later.
Just bit the bullet on one from ali, 14 bucks for a 9h tempered and beveled screen protector is a steal!
Netimes have them also. :good:
Any feedback?
Bought 1 from Aliexpress.com too.
And now they're on Amazon but still ship from China. It normally takes about 21 days to receive so for those people who want feedback you can check back here around December 5th.

Just got mine in, as well as the Nillkin frosted case. Both are AWESOME!
It does show fingerprints, but the glass feels great, fits perfectly, and it was only $14 compared to other more expensive, mostly defective options.

expensive, but i've heard good things about them.
I just finished fiiting mine up, I'm extremely happy with it. Looks great and feels even better. The only thing I didn't like is that the small film for the camera lens is plastic and not glass like the front, but you do get 4 of them in case you screw up.

New XtremeGuard HD Screen Protector

Today XtremeGuard released a new "HD" screen protector model, now with dry application instead the old wet application
It's a clear model (invisible), ultra anti-scratch, etc. The FAQ says it's not a tempered glass protector, but a "ultra hard PET very similar to glass".
https://www.xtremeguard.com/Articles.asp?ID=261
Someone already tried it? It's a good protector?
It's already avaible to nexus 5 here, just U$6,00 + 90% off if buy 2 or more items using coupon "90off" (+ free shipping to USA)

Awesome, thanks for the heads up! :good:
Just placed my order.. $1.20 shipped for 2 great protectors?? It's crazy not to get.
I have the 'old style' of XtremeGuard on my phone right now, and even though its protecting my device REALLY well, I'm starting not to like the thick 'rubbery feel.' I also have a small scratch on the protector that I accidentally made when rubbing out bubbles when I first got it, and my OCD hates it! lmao.. So i didnt want to buy another one, and i didnt wanna spend $15-$40 on a freakin' protector, so im stoked about this!
Thanks again
Order a HD and a Original ^.^

I have had nothing but a great experience with the regular xtremeguard shield, had it on my Nexus 4 too. One thing I did was to use some car wax on it, make it considerably smoother and easier to clean. Just placed an order on the new HD one.
Ordered a red 16gb N5 yesterday, and just saw this thread. Thanks OP. I got a back protector, new HD front protector and install kit for $1.70 shipped. Nice!
Did anyone get their's? Wonder how thick it is, how it feels vs bare glass, and the clarity.
Boo for $6 shipping to get them to Canada.
I got mine already :3

My guess is that these are just the normal plastic screen protectors that were popular before the wet application ones came out. No different than the ones you can buy at T-Mobile or Verizon stores. I use the regular XtremeGuard screen protectors for every device of mine and I love them. They're cheap and I'm good at installing them. No need to spend $30+ at a Ghost Armor or Invisible Shield kiosk in the mall.

Same thing here... Not very happy with the product. I knew it was bad before i even installed it as the side edges weren't even cut straight.
I received mine too and the top/edge is peeling off and there were dust particles. i contacted them and asked for a replacement.
Thought I'd order one of the dry application ones, it's gonna take a MONTH to arrive!!! now, I know I'm in the UK but come on, in this day and age it shouldn't take a month to send something from the US to the UK...
It feels really nice and smooth. But the top cut outs are terrible. Contacted customer service they said they will replace. We'll see if they fixed their first run issues.

Same thing happened with me. I thought I was just incompetent.
Still don't know why people continue to go with XtremeGuard. The only thing that gets them sales is their big discounts of their "original" price. The quality is pretty horrible. The wet apply ones are very grippy and make your device feel crap.

maybe its a carrier fault, we cant blame the seller. Here on brazil the national carrier is a huge sh*t. The progress between any country to brazil only took 3~5 days. Then the package goes to the national carrier on the "international scan" and stay there for 40 days until anyone found your package lost in a pile of other millions package and send it to your city carrier

I dont bought this HD screen protector, but looking these pictures it feels really crap
I'm using the "standard" (wet) protector and althrough the wet installation and "grip-feeling", I'm already using for 3 months and it stay 100% perfect as the first day I apply it. No dust, no damage, no scratches, no edges taking off. It's not the 'best' protector in the world, but much more resistant than others brands
I'm glad to see I'm not the only person having bad luck with the HD ones. they already shipped me out 2 replacements.

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.

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.

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!

If I or anyone else can find more accessories, please add them to this thread.
Thanks,
The gel case and screen protector look great! If I decide to use my invite to buy the phone today or tomorrow I'll likely pick both of those up as well.
Has anyone bought this yet? My primary conscern is that I'm stuck here in the US....

Excellent. Looking forward to hear back from your experience. I redeemed my invite and ordered the phone this morning as well with the OnePlus screen protector and no case. If this case works out for you I might pick one up as well.
Is there anyway to purchase these in US??

I too was looking but didn't see a way that made me happy. I found that the Nillkin versions are for sale in the US on Amazon and Ebay, albeit with shipping from China.

I am in the US and i ordered it just fine. It did have an estimated shipping of between 1 and 2 weeks and it didn't come with a tracking number, but it was still free shipping. Didn't seem to be a problem for me as long as you can plan ahead a bit.

Except now that one plus has encountered MORE delays (truly unbelievable with how few devices they are shipping out right now) it looks like I'll have my screen cover from the UK before I have the phone lol
So got this screen protector in the mail.... took about 5 business days to get to utah, WHICH as it turns out is faster than One plus was able to get me my phone... ya i have a phone protector from the uk shipping standard a day before i get my phone shipped from california, both ordered on the same day.
Screen protector feels great, i'll be able to actually install it and see how it fits today. BUT after seeing the packaging i realized i've ordered from these guys before. I bought a tempered glass screen protector for my wifes nexus 5, it is WONDERFUL. aside from having the same smooth feel the glass underneath has (compared to the sticky plastic polymer that i'm used to with zagg and those guys).
My absolute favorite feature of the tempered screen protectors is the slight radius/round they put on all the edges. Simply WONDERFUL, because android makes use of a lot of its edges and it just pains me to get caught up on a sharp edge.

Hi,
Received mine today also. Install went great and so far so good. For the price I think
this is a steal. I paid $35 for a Spigen for my S4 last year.

Just ordered both after receiving my oneplus invite today. Thanks for the heads up :thumbup:

Orzly make a great glass screen protector for the Moto G. I smashed one (saved the screen, but its almost invisible and has lovely rounded edges
Anyone have pics of their One+ One with a tempered glass screen protector. I'm trying to have all of my accessories ready so that I can start using the phone right away -- once I receive it.
Where did you order it?
Just ordered the glass and the softcase for the OPO. Any one got any reviews on these?

How easy is the glass to install? I have had some nightmares with the plastic screen protectors

Hi,
The glass install went smooth and easy. I use the scotch tape method.
Line up the protector on the screen first, then use 2 pieces of tape on the right side
of phone to hold in place. Then lift the left side and remove the bottom cover and then just flip back slowly
over the screen. I think I had 2 bubbles near the edge which came out easily.

Great idea with the tape
How do you rate the protector, do you think it would withstand the keys and scissors that you see in the videos?
Are you using a case at all?
Could do with something for the rear camera lens as these always seem to get scratched.

Skins for S10+, What's your choice?

I've applied a concrete skin from Gadgetshieldz. The skin feels so hard in hand and obviously feels super grippy. the texture of the skin is hard as the concrete. Take a look at my Galaxy S10+.

Yes it does feel like concrete in hand and smooth at the same time.
Thanks a lot! How are the edges and buttons made? Would you mind sharing pictures of that as well?

The headphone jack and speaker and the side button have cutouts, No issues with cutouts. You need some patience in order to apply the skin. If you done this you're good to go.

Thanks for the Info, Will try the skin for my S10+.
I got a red carbon fiber skin from Phantomskinz that I really like. It's got a nice texture of carbon fiber. It came with a skin to go over the glass around the camera, but there was an issue with the wide angle hole not being wide enough, so you could get glare from the skin in pictures. I emailed them about it with pictures showing it was correctly installed and showing the glare, and now waiting on a replacement skin to arrive later this week. Besides the wide angle camera though, it's been really good and even fits inside my UAG Monarch case I use at work.

How is the Quality of the skin ??

Quality wise, it feels really good to me. I've never had a skin on a phone before, so I don't have much to compare it to. The material its made of feels sufficiently thick enough to protect against any scratches to the back or sides of your device (the skin wraps around all 4 edges, and even has a little piece to go over your SIM card tray so you can still remove the tray). My replacement one with the modified wide angle cutout should arrive tomorrow (4/11/19) according to USPS's tracking, so I'll post back tomorrow on how well their new camera hole size works. Customer Service wise, I'd definitely give them 5 stars, seeing as I emailed them a complaint about their design and within 24 hours they had fixed it and shipped out the redesigned version and even replaced the screen protector since I had ordered "case-friendly" and then found out my case doesn't require "case-friendly" screen protectors. In my experience these days, that quick of customer service and turnaround time is damn near unheard of.
Also of note, their film screen protectors do not have cutouts for the front cameras, and from my testing between my phone and my wife's S10+ with the stock screen protector still on, I see no difference in the quality of pictures. They say on their site though that if you wish to have a cutout for the front cameras, add a comment to your order and they will ship you a screen protector that has a cutout in it.
EDIT: I'll take a picture of the skin tomorrow with my wife's phone. At work for the night and can't take a picture of my phone from my own phone, lol. xD
While I know this won't be everyone's cup of tea but here's a skin I ordered from SopiGuard. Best part is I ordered on Monday and it was delivered today/Thursday, 3 days!

Apparently USPS just really hates me this week. I have 3 packages from 3 different parts of the country that shipped on 3 different days, all of which seem to have disappeared after they left the city they shipped from. Oldest one was shipped on March 21st and should have arrived 3 days later according to initial USPS tracking, and yet it still hasn't arrived. Says "in transit, arriving late" :crying:
Hopefully the skin will arrive next week. Not the seller's fault, something horrible going on with USPS I guess.
