So I've been looking for a nice desktop dock for the Aria so I can use it on my nightstand at night while charging. I don't like laying it flat on my nightstand cause having the speaker against the surface muffles the speaker, and I use it as an alarm clock most nights. I scoured about, but there aren't a lot of Aria specific accessories. Finally while searching google for "htc hd mini cradle" or something of the like I ran across this:
(i can't post links cause I'm new to xda, so you'll have to copy and paste it to your browser)
shop.htcpedia.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=996&compability_product=447
Looks nice, and it even SAYS it works with the Aria. That makes me wonder why it never showed up on my searches looking for Aria specific stuff... the picture has an Aria sitting in it lol. I ordered it up, and it wasn't as cheap as I would have liked. Came out to about $38 after shipping. I'll let you all know how I like it once it arrives early this week.
I got EXACTLY the same item on Ebay for $9 (plus $4 for shipping). It took about a week for it to arrive from Hong Kong.
There is a bright blue LED that light up when you place the phone in the craddle. When plugged, Aria sits snug and secure. There is an additional USB cable that can be plugged into PC for syncing.
Aha, $9. Nice find. I don't think the blue LED is that bright at all.
when i was looking for a dock i saw the one that you all are talking about and found this one and i think it looks better and it only 16.99 so i bought it, it was a while ago about a month
I saw a few that charge an extra battery. That wasn't what I was looking for though. Just wanted something small, weighted, and functional.

Hi mate,
I have a Zagg invisishield (front and back) on the way for my Aria, I'd like to get a dock, but from your observations would you say its too tight already. Have I got no chance getting it into the dock with the shield on?
Sorry it took me awhile to get back to this thread!
I inspected the gaps between my Aria and the dock's cradle.
Obviosly, ZAGG film on the front is not creating any issues -- I have one myself! The film on the back could be more nuanced. The sides and the back have enough gap, however the bottom of the phone (where the micro USB port is) could be an issue. I tried wrapping two strips of brown-bag paper around the bottom of my phone, and it still goes into craddle securely and the USB port makes a solid connection.
However, we know that ZAGG film becomes a little bit "sticky" under warm conditions. I am not certain if the warmness of the battery and tight contact between the film on the phone and the dock may cause the film to stick just a little bit, which would make it be pulled away from the phone every time you're undocking it. Hopefully, this will not be an issue, so I would encourage you to try.
Wow I thank you for informative reply. I didn't expect you to go to so much effort.
It is a great help, I think I might get one and try. Thanks mate.

Hi Gorilla800lbs, I found your information to be very useful. I have a different kind of back case and its really think... probably 1mm or slightly more..... do you think the phone will dock with this case attached?
Thanks for the ebay link, I ordered one too
This is cool, I going to get it. Thanks for the find. Looks really big, but it's all good.
damn ive been looking for one of these now time to search e bay lol
thanks to all who posted
Is the build quality of the ebay one nice?

This is EXACTLY my concern. I know China manufacturers like to skimp on quality and workmanship sometimes. Often they will have counterfeit components and can cause serious issues with electronics. (I've replaced many a Taiwanese counterfeit capacitor)
Nothing against the nationality, just against build quality.
Can anyone vouch for it?
yeah i hope anyone can verify this, so that i can buy this right away!
how difference with micro usb cable? i think it's work the same thing, charge+sync.
Hi guys,
Got my hands on the SGP Glas and wanted to throw up a quick video to show you all what it's like. Super easy to install, fits great on the phone and shows off the Super Amoled Plus display perfectly. Does show fingerprints but much less than the naked screen since it has a coating on it. Overall, I love it.
Check out the video:
Thanks a lot for the review! You really made it easier for me to justify the amount you have to spend for such a screen protector. Now I can order this without worries besides trying to choose a case to match it still xD.
Thank you for the review as well, I will think about it, since it is readily available here in Hong Kong.
Just wanted to thank you for the review and to say they you're a great on-screen speaker. Well Done!

we all know you've already bought the wedding ring.
One thing, is the oleo glass less prone to finger prints than most screen protectors? I currently have the steinheil crystal (something) protector, and oils/fingerprints are in full bloom.
Def buying, thanks!
Great review!
PS. The button is slanted.

It's better at repelling that the Crystal Clear and the naked screen. It is not as good as the Ultra optics BUT it is much easier to clean, the Ultra Optics clings onto the grease really well once it builds up.
Thanks Ploone, by the way, I'm from Frisco, though currently in Hong Kong.
Sorry, I meant that I currently have the Ultra Optics protector. Does the Glas resist oil/prints better than the Optics? Because the Optics is CRAP in that regard, it is pretty nasty, and very hard to clean off the oils without a microfiber cloth.
Once again, thank you for your video, you have sold me on the product. I just gotta wait for HK to stock up.
Plug the phone to charger and test can you use the phone like normally would?

Yeah, been experiencing those issues. Impossible to do anything on the phone, can't scroll, tap - seems like the phone is laggy but the moment you disconnect it, works just fine.
@chiefroastbeef Coolio, I forgot to change my location though - I used to live in Rowlett, now I'm in Las Vegas lol. Glad to help
Did they give you any coupon discounts that we can use?
After all this screen shield is quite expensive

That's interesting. I've seen the same symptom when charging from a/c using a cheap usb cable.... I wonder why that is (and if, hopefully, that's the reason your seeing this with the glass shield).

I hear it has something to do with the electrical discharge being so low that the touchscreen is not powered correctly, however I don't see why the Screenshield would affect it.

Just basic info: I am using Samsung's original wall charger. When charging is on, you can't use drop down menu and screen is 99% unresponsive. When phone is fully charged, all is working. You can keep charger plugged in and touch screen works again. SGP screwed this one.
Hi guys, I just bought the Glas, it is indeed nice, and adds a slight but noticeable weight to the phone (after all it is glass).
I do not have any problems with the touchscreen sensitivity with the Glas on, I am using a Amazon Kindle usb charger, with a normal usb->micro usb cable with it. I've also plugged it into my Mac Pro, and I do notice a decrease in sensitivity, normal scrolling around isn't a problem, but typing on the keyboard becomes a problem, because some key inputs would not register. So all i gotta do is man-up and press the keys like Chuck Norris would. Not a big problem, since all other touch screen input still works.
The Glas looks very very nice on the phone, I think the colors are even better than the SGP Optic protector, or any other screen protector I've had on. It repels oil very well, I am very happy overall, other than the price.
i have a nexus s running ics, however, with 2.3 and 4.0, the nexus s has always had a problem when plugged in via usb, the display would become unresponsive.
does the gnex have this issue at all?
i ordered the incipio ngp case and an xoskin, however, i really don't think i will be happy with the case. i don't like buttons to be covered, but, i need something that will provide a decent amount of protection. i scoured the accessory FAQ and watched all the videos, but, didn't see anything i liked. the reason i bought the gnex was because my focus s shattered when i dropped it. need to protect this one as much as possible or else my wife will shatter me, since i spent our vacation money on a new phone (shh, don't tell her that, lol).
i go to the gym about 3-4 times per week, so i need some sort of holder for it there, not really a fan of the armband thing i see people wearing, but if anyone knows of something decent, i'd appreciate it.
oh, and insurance, what's a cheap way to insure this thing?
Hi Guys,
I recently purchased a Galaxy Nexus after spending months in front of the screen just stalking the beautiful device and wishing it lands in my hands. I finally ordered it a few weeks back. Now the next step to feed the OCD ridden alter ego was to protect the spectacular HD screen from scratches and dust. I researched a bit more, putting the quality of the film as priority, going through options to come across international brands like Zagg's Invisible Shield and Armorsuit which got great reviews from everyone in terms of clarity and protection. Naturally, they are not available in India (somehow whatever I want is not) and I was about to order it through ebay's global buy for almost double the price of what our western cousins pay when I came across the name Gadgetshieldz. I traipsed on to their site with absolutely no hope that I will be interested in any Indian brand and it'd be just another substandard product. The site had a nice look and feel and I liked the price they were offering (through ebay it is around INR 350 for the Nexus).
I felt the hole in my pocket left after buying a new phone and settled for the cheaper alternative after reading positive reviews on similar forums.

Main store -
GadgetShieldz Clear Cell Phone Covers and Skins | Full-Body Invisible Shields,Screen Protectors
I also Youtube-d for wet screen protection and its application to familiarize myself with the whole process. It involves the use of an already included solution (Zagg) and a Squeegee + lint free cloth (just another name for the cloth you use for cleaning your specs) to take the excess solution out.

3) Review by Mobile guide.
How to install a screen protector perfectly without bubbles or dust! - YouTube
The shipping was fast and through our Indian Postal Service and it reached my hands in the next 2 days. The packaging was nice and secure and I had already learnt that they do not provide any squeegee or solution and you have to arrange that yourself. Now all of this looks like a lot of homework and hassle and most of you would feel to give it a miss. Maybe I am overdoing it a bit here but I think all the effort that goes into this actually adds to the fun and satisfied feeling one gets towards the end.
After going through the instructions for the umpteenth time and reading another review - 1 and 2 I settled for the following.
Final Ingredients :
I was a bit worried about the solution regarding the water and soap ratio to be used. I must inform that all this hardly matters and you can mix 3-4 drop of mild liquid soap (I used Lifebuoy RED) and 600ml of water. Mix it thoroughly till you get a soapy feel when you dip your finger so that the shield can get a little slippery for readjustment.
The squeegee alternative is a simple card and a credit card will also do.Just make sure it is smooth. The lint free cloth is the microfiber cloth used for cleaning spectacles.
The application instructions :
The instructions are crystal clear and I personally feel they make the reader feel a little over cautious. The installation is actually simpler and faster. Well most of the settling down depends on the amount of soap used. In the instructions they ask you to soak the film in the soap solution. I found dipping the entire sheet into the solution better.
NOTE : Keep a track of where the sticky side is There were moments when I forgot where the sticky side lies.
When dipping the film in soap solution, if you allow -
more soap to stay on the film = better repositioning options and realignment. Its like setting the mouse sensitivity. This is high sensitivity and DPI. Also this means extra time for settling down.
less soap to stay on the film = faster sticking and drying up. This is like low sensitivity and DPI. The sheet will be harder to move and realign but would settle very fast and dry up faster. I chose this for the screen side as I didn't like the idea of too much soap and water loitering around my earpiece and front camera.
They are the same instructions and installation tips that are found on the main site.
The package includes a film for every possible exposed part of the device which is great but I only used the films for the screen, battery cover and the exposed part beneath the battery cover around the micro-USB port. I must mention at this point that the cuts of the films are precise and beautiful. The whole film feels sturdy and would give you the confidence that your device is going to stay safe and scratch free.
Cutting the chase here, I could not take the pictures of the phone when it was drying and what I have are the final pictures after 2 days of installation. During the installation and settling down period I was worried seeing a haze on the whole device and some marks that were left behind (I thought them to be fingerprint marks) but the results improved remarkably as time went by and after 4-5 hours the screen looked absolutely clear (and protected of course).
Final Results - Front
I faltered a bit around this area and the finish isn't exactly perfect but I marked it within the "Acceptable Marginal Error" range and proceeded.
The cut is precise and one hardly notices the film.
The screen looks quite clear and the only thing I noticed is the little dust settlement around the edges.
Taken with Brightness set to full.
The slight error in alignment is visible here but that is not to be blamed on the cuts. Just use more solutions and align to your heart's content.
Now there is a certain orange peel effect that is much talked about in case of such shields. I have taken this picture to leave it to the reader if that's the case because I am not well versed in that topic. As far as I can say, the shield is quite smooth.
Final Results - Back
The back cover of the Galaxy Nexus is a bit rough and applying the film there is both easy and a little troublesome. Easy because t doesn't involve working around any sensitive device part and I would advice that you can remove the cover entirely and apply the film. Troublesome because the squeegee doesn't move that freely around that area.
Make sure the film settles down entirely on the back case.
The package also includes film for the area around the camera as is visible.
The shields for every part is absolutely perfect and for this area its almost invisible.
Final words :
Go through the instructions thoroughly especially if its your first time.Keep all the things ready and within reach before starting. The installation is quite easy and intuitive (the links that I have provided are more than enough for getting it right). Also, some would want to settle for the easier alternative and that is a matter of choice. The shield is priced at INR 350 from ebay and one of my friend (who provided the phone to take the pictures - Galaxy S advance) also got a screen guard applied from the seller itself who charged the same amount. Below are the results and I found the Gadgetshieldz finish to be much better.
Galaxy S Advance - Samsung showroom screen guard
Galaxy Nexus - Gadgetshieldz
Another point to mention is that post application I observed a faint chemical odour emanating from the shield itself. I googled it a bit and found out that these shields are chemically treated and this is not something to lose your sleep about. As of on the third day, this odour has subsided and I am guessing it will remain the same I hope the review helps in clearing certain doubts and help my fellow forum members.
Feel free to ask any questions. Requesting more pictures is ok but it depends when I get my hands on another device for taking picture (this one is out of the whole equation now especially after I ended up comparing the finish of its screenguard to mine).
Enjoy!
Appreciate the very detailed review and write up. I wish all reviews were done like this

I had ordered one too and have it lying at my place for a few days now. Still wondering if I should go ahead with it or not. I do have a cheap screen protector I got off ebay applied to the screen.

It was my first time but I took it as a challenge and results were good.
Great review OP. It's nice to know that they have a new packaging as well. I used to buy their products before and they came in a regular envelop. That's the reason for the low cost. The only reason I have something else now is because I'm testing another product but I still have my set sitting in my drawer. Thanks again.

Much appreciated.Yeah in the video reviews the packaging is different indeed. The shield came enclosed in another envelope, yet the whole package was very slim and sturdy. And yes, the low cost is mostly because they do not include a squeegee and a slolution which I found acceptable as it still manages to do the job quite well.
Good review. Thank the guy, this took some time

The pictures took more time. I was worried I would mess up the details. I think the camera made my job easy. Writing is fun so not much effort there.
Planning to get one of these. But it looks like the screen protector covers up the proximity sensor. So, does the proximity sensor work properly? Have you checked it by installing a sensor app like android sensor box.

Why didn't I read this topic before? I was not able to find this brand while searching for a screen guard so went ahead and ordered Zagg one from ebay global buy - 1000 INR

That is alright. How come you got it for just 1000? Last I checked it was for around 1200+change. The good thing about your purchase would be that you will be getting a solution, squeegee and cloth already included in the package. So I guess you can be happy with that This review can be helpful in the application part. Let me know how it goes (if pictures are possible then that is great!)

I don't know. I woke up one and saw zagg invisibleshield floating around for 1000 bucks on ebay global buy. You're right, it used to show for 1300+ before.
So I applied it and it looks perfect!! I kind of messed up in between but thanks to the solution, took it off and re-applied. It looks just great and as tit says, almost invisible. I'll see if I can arrange pics.
Yeah pictures would be great!
I'm bumping this just because I got an email from them on a 40% discount on all skins. Not bad at all

Hey guys!
I'm going to buy Sony Xperia Z1 Compact soon. I felt in love with this phone as I don't like having a brick in my pocket.
I want to buy some accesories in the same time as the phone so I'm thinking about them right now and have some questions.
I would like to buy some case for it and also a tempered glass screen protector. (maybe it's too much but even if it's quite cheap for me - special mobile op offert - I still want to not damage it very fast.) My current phone is Xperia Arc (have it for 2+ years now ) it is awesome but now too laggy and have cracks everywhere..
So can someone give me a hand with choosing accesories? Will they work fine etc.
What I would like to buy and what I found.
- magnetic charger (http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/3x-xperia-z3-z3-compact-z2-magnetic-charging-cables-black-p49789.htm - it says its for z2/z3 but was under z1c section.. )
- case (http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/flexiframe-hybrid-sony-xperia-z1-compact-fusion-case-black-p46817.htm - think it is alright)
- tempered glass screen protector ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Sony-Xp...Tempered-Glass-Screen-Protector-/151238961204 )
So I'll be greatfull is someone will give an opinion on these products or suggest better one.
--------------------------------------------------
My other question is - Are there any must have mods, things I'll want to install ( or apps) ?
I'm sure I'll get rid of these on screen buttons and replace them with gestures.
Should I install a rom or stick with fabric android ? If yes which one ?
Thanks you very much for reading and for any tips!
And please bare with my english its late and I'm not a native
For the products:
- Magnetic charger: A good way of charging the Z1c. But you should really invest some money in this one. I bought 2 cheap ones and it took like 8 hours to charge my phone. I don't have a link to my current one now. It still charges slower than micro USB though. The link you posted seems to be a quality product. At least its expensive But be aware that it might still charge your phone slower than your average micro USB.
Also: magnetic chargers are not made for charging the phone while using it. If you get a call and your phone is on the magnetic charger it will definitely disconnect. So its more a product for charging the Z1c over night.
- Case: Not a fan of cases AT ALL for this phone. Like you said - The main focus of the Z1c is that it is compact. A case ruins that for me. As to your choice: Be careful. The plastic back of such cases scratches REALLY easy. So like after 2 weeks of use you will have a milky back on your phone due to scratches.
Source: had the same one once - threw it away after 2 weeks
- Tampered glass: You cannot really do anything wrong here. For me this is the best way of protecting this phone. Consider using tampered glass for front AND back. Then you can forget about the case.
For the "must-have" mods:
The great thing about Android is that you can modify it like you want. Therefore there are no "must-have" mods. Some people like hiding the onscreen keys, some don't.
So its really up to you. Just spend some time in the mods section here in the forum or search some Xposed modules and you will find your perfect setup.
Same goes for ROMs.
PS: Good choice on the Z1c though - it's a great phone
Oh thank didn't know that it charges that way. Also product in the link it's 3 charging cables so even if one will broke I still have 2 ^^
The main reason that I'd like to buy a magnetic charger is to try not to open plugs to dont have any problems with waterproofness.
I think it's not a problem with z1c awesome battery life :3 Gonna just charge it everynight.
Ikr but I'm also a bit scared of damaging it or scratching.. But the glass will do its work on back of the phone?
I think the set from my link is also for the back. ( as seen on the pic)
Okay so I'm just gonna look at mod sections
I think I'm gonna stay with fabric android for now and just install some lil mods like this 4k one
Also can't wait to play with themes, app icons and different widgets :3
Thank you very much !
Yeah I'm soooo hyped about it ^^ As a lil audiophile I'd finally have all music in one place for all ocsasions.. (64 GB <3)
This is how mine is set up:
I have several cases, but usually keep mine in a Bando power case. Battery life is already good on the phone, but I'm prepared to last for a couple of days if it's ever necessary. On the back of the case is a Minisuit Tactic (search Amazon) which is a pocket and elastic handstrap. This allows me to use the phone one-handed securely, even holding it upside down. The phone can be attached to my rear view mirror via the strap when using GPS. I have tempered glass on the front of the phone. Obviously, my phone is no longer very compact, so I keep it in a holster which I got from the flea market, rather than carry it in my pocket. Running stock rom, modified with Xposed, with black wallpaper. I have lots of music and music apps on mine and use bluetooth receivers at home, work and music studio.

If you get the chance, look at the skinomi skins. I have one for the back of my phone. It stops the back from being scratched easily and looks really good too.
Thanks guys!
Skinomi skins looks realy nice :> This carbon one is cool ^^ not sure if really though..
But i think I'm gonna stay with a case on the back (maybe later will change it to glass or smth) and of course glass on the front
Cant wait for my phone to arrive !!
For me:
1. I use dock magnetic charger. But I used to use microusb to magnetic charger from ebay.
2. I don't use case, but I use phone strap. It save my phone from dropped to the floor when it slipped from my hand several time.
3. USe screen protector for front. You can use a skin or screen protector for the back. From what I heard, the back scratched easily. I applied screen protector and skin to my phone fram day 1
Yeah I got the skinomi skin just because my back got scratched easily. I still have a terrapin case for it, but at least the back won't get inadvertently scratched anymore.
1. Put tempered glass on front.
2. Replace back plastic with Glass.
3. Get any magnetic charger of your choice.
Don't get case as most of them downgrade the amazing look of Z1C.
This is a bit of a necropost, but do you lose waterproofing by replacing the back with the glass one?

You might want to ask this question in the thread which originally handled this topic. I think you can find it in the Accessories section of the forum.
I don't know if it affects the water resistance of the phone but one thing is for sure: if you DO change the back yourself and you get a water damage, it will be hard to make any sort of warranty claim.
