Honor 9 Cases, Screen Protectors and other Accessories - Honor 9 Accessories

Since there is only a thread for the Nillkin cases and tempered glass I thought it would be nice to have some thread for the accessories in general.
Until this day I tried 3 cases, two screen protectors (films) and two tempered glass protectors.
Case No. 1 ) Slim, silicone case http://www.ebay.com/itm/Transparent-Clear-Silicone-Slim-Gel-Case-For-Huawei-Honor-9/112446352466?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 - Very slim and light case made from nice silicone BUT the protection when dropped would be none. It's not made 100% precisely and since it's silicone it doesn't look any good on the back where it creates bubbles. I've ordered this as the first case to have at least some protection. Nice thing is they include free screen protector but the quality isn't very good - doesn't cover the whole display (I'm not talking about edge-to-edge) and there are 2mm gaps on each side and when the display is on it looks terrible. 2/5
Case No. 2) Nillkin Super Frosted http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-HUAWEI-Honor-9-NILLKIN-Super-Frosted-Shield-Hard-Plastic-Back-Covers-Cases-/152596952252?var=&hash=item23877cb4bc:m:mtNLCAV-KRHaAK2TUOYLPTg - very nice case, really sturdy BUT I have few complaints - it's kinda slippery on the sides but this will go away after some use maybe and the bottom side around jack, charging port and speaker is a bit sharp and if you're holding the phone with the little finger on the bottom it't not really comfortable. Besides that it's really nice case for the price but I expected a bit more. But once again for the price it's more than OK. 4/5
Case No. 3) TPU Shockproof case with "carbon" http://www.ebay.com/itm/Luxury-Carbon-Fiber-Slim-Shockproof-Soft-TPU-Back-Case-For-Huawei-Honor-9-Magic/112325496837?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=412748326145&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 - as you can imagine, there is absolutely no carbon at all, just some kind of "sticker" or what it is. Nevermind, this case is the best of the three. Really nice case made from TPU, sturdy, should have the best drop protection and fits just perfectly. There is a small "rim" around the screen that should protect the screen from scratches when the phone is "face down". 5/5
Screen protector (film) No. 1) Nillkin Super Clear Protective Film - in terms of size the best screen protector I've had. Obviously it's not edge-to-edge but it does cover the whole display with gaps on the edges BUT the display is fully protected so thumbs up for me. In terms of "anti-fingerprint" it's nowhere close to the display or the back but is much better than some noname protector I've got with TPU case. Overall very nice screen protector for free but I'm still waiting for the Nillkin H+ tempered glass and some noname edge-to-edge tempered glass. 4/5
Tempered glass No. 1) Edge-to-edge blue 2.5D tempered glass http://www.ebay.com/itm/9H-2-5D-Full-Cover-Real-Tempered-Glass-Screen-Protective-Film-For-Huawei-honor-9/152593109357?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=452016649496&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 - really nice tempered glass (2 pcs) for the price. It has the adhesive only on the top, bottom and the sides but the application was very easy and the glass holds on even with any of tested cases. It has some "dots" in the screen area so I got no rainbow effect whatsoever. The blue color is a bit different from the original color od the phone but it's not a problem since you have your phone in a case. Overall for the price pretty good. 4/5
Tempered glass No. 2) Normal tempered glass Caliber (bought in CZE) - not edge-to-edge, doesn't cover the whole screen, gaps on the sides. Overall sh*t. 1/5
Still waiting for the Nillkin H+ tempered glass.

Nilkin Amazing H+ Pro is No Go
Got the 0.2mm H+ Pro. It's cover the display area for like 99%, with-out just about 0.5mm on each side, after all still the best.
BUT. The silicon layer doesn't hold the tempered glass on both sides, looks like the phone display curve started a bit earlier than its needed for the protector.
It doesn't stick to the display, making it looks like ****, with 3mm frame from each side. Top/bottom sides stick OK, all the way to edges.
So Nilkin Amazing H+ Pro is No Go for me.

Well, got it yesterday so I'm still waiting to try it but not sure if wan't to :laugh:

cases
sooooo, I bought these from tvc mall. They were so cheap that I bought three different ones with the intent of disposing of whichever were poor. Thing is, they are all good in their own way. The plain bumper is just very slimline. The rugged looking one is cool as it has a stand in landscape mode, and the wallet is exceptional quality, given the price. All three fit perfectly, but the plain bumper makes the power and volume buttons so much more tactile. The rugged one looks really cheap in silver, perhaps black would have been a good choice. As i wasn't expecting much from the wallet one, I also oredered the nilkin wallet but that hasn't arrived yet.

I have also ordered the ultimate sheild screen protector, which is edge to edge, in black as I think it will make an excellent contrast to the silver rear of the handset....which wont be visible when the (absolutely necessary) bumper is fitted!

Ultimate sheild screen protector
.... And the ultimate sheild protector turned up. It is excellent. A word of caution, unless this is fitted absolutely perfectly, it will render one or both of the capacitance keys inoperable. This happened to me as i fitted the sheild a fraction of a millimetre to the right. I carefully removed and replaced it with more accuracy.
Here is a pic of the black sheild fitted to my silver H9, and a photo of the plain bumper fitted from my previous post. Svelt but rugged!

After a couple of hours of use I can say that there has been no loss of sensitivity on the screen or capacitive buttons, but on darker details and the blacks, it does look like the screen is behind a sheet of glass. You will know what i mean if you have used a screen protector which bonds over its entirety, whereas this one has a mild adhesive at the top and bottom of the protector, where the bezels are. A small price to pay i think to protect my new device. It is mostly noticeable in bright light, not so much in low light. And I love the new black look of the bezels with the silver fingerprint sensor still visible.

Right, so, some more hours on....the ultimate sheild has begun to show its flaws. Towards the middle of the screen there is now what i can only describe as a "woodgrain" effect. This could be caused by tiny amounts of moisture getting between the screen and protector, which I guess there is nothing to stop that happening. They offered a refund for dissatisfaction so I guess I will be chasing that up. Pfffft. So disappointed.....

Is there a smart cover for it ?!

Just bought the TPU Shockproof case and it is amazing! It's a very good quality and it doesn't makes the phone feel like a toy.
I really like it and definitely recommend it!

Can you upload a photo of the phone with the case applied?! That would be awesome

The nilkin "sparkle series" wallet turned up. Its awful. Unlike the cheap wallet I purchased, which remains closed under magnetism, the nilkin just falls open and feels poorer quality.
The Ipaky bumper with the clear perspex back is, however, very nice. The only caveat, it sits flush with the screen so offers no protection if you decide to place your device screen down.

I'm waiting for the smart cover case, if it didn't come fast, I'll go with a skin.

I have bought an honor 9 few days ago. Somebody could suggest me a screen protector that cover whole display? With 3D display is so difficult find a good screen protector....

Thanks.
I don't like this type of tempered glass (i know that is the only solution for cover 3d display without space).
So, someone has tested "invisible film screen protector"?

If someone else has tried this protective film, please give us a feedback.

Did someone try the Mofi screen protector? According to a review on Aliexpress it has minimal space at both sides.

I've seen ones from ultimate shield, I'm considering getting one.

Good luck with that. Did you read my earlier post? As the protector does not actually sit on the screen, due to the adhesive around the edges, it is susceptible to the "rainbow effect" which i think is caused by humidity between screen and protector. It seemed to manifest itself after the phone had been in my pocket and warmed up. I don't have an overly sweaty crotch.....
Anyhow, they apologised and promptly sent a replacement and the same happened again.
By all means give it a go and they will refund you without issue.

100% full coverage screen protecto

is there such thing aside from the spigen curved one? i heard the spigen ones are garbage. i've used skinomi (they were all right, not as durable), they covered 95% of the screen. the zagg invisible shields were garbage, wasted 25$ and thought it covers the whole screen but it left a huge gap.
Try Tippin Screen protector.
tippin is where its at for full curved protectors.. just remember any case that wraps around the edge tightly is probably not compatible
Does this tippin cover as good if not better than SGP Curved Crystal? The reason I ask is the images on Amazon show that it does not cover the portion immediately above the ear speaker. I love the curved crystal except for the dents that won't disappear. Does the tippin have this problem? Thanks!
the tippin pretty much covers all. ear speaker, sensors+camera, and home button are cut out. if you press on it hard enough with your nail, itll leave a dent. will it go away eventually? dont know, probably not. i think the tippin scratches kind of easily. i noticed a small rainbow line. not sure if its a scratched screen protector or cracked glass. another thing about these screen protectors...you have a small margin for error for placement. i was ocd at first and wanted it on 100% perfect alignment. i tried the tape the side method. thought i had it on perfect, but nope. a small sliver didnt stick because it was on slightly to the left. took the whole thing off and could not put it on as good as before. i spent almost an hr, gave up and ended up with even worse alignment. so my advice is get it aligned the way you want it on the 1st try. since these were a ***** to apply, id like a screen protector thats between full and gapped coverage. but the clarity is good and i think it gets slightly less fingerprints than the naked screen.

The Spigen is good. I would say they are far superior to the Skinomi ones.
I went this route. This is now in my top spot for screen protectors.
http://chrismchoi.blogspot.com/2013/03/seidio-vitreo.html
This is what I use. It covers the entire screen and is smooth. It also seems to repel fingerprints and is somewhat scratch resistent. Most people looking at my phone can't even tell there is a screen protector on it.

Thanks for the recommendations guys. I really like the Sigen Curved Crystal but am annoyed with the dents. When new, it is barely noticeable at all. I really wish this were available in more durable finish. The Seidio glass screen protector looks really nice but will not work with my case (Element Eclipse)
I am assuming the Realook is almost the exact same as the SGP curved crystal. The cutouts look the same and the hardness rating is the same. Do you notice dents that don't go away? If I were to use my fingernail to type, the screen protector would become pitted all over.

I don't notice any dents, but I use swype as my keyboard of choice. Do you push hard when texting? I let my 4 and 6 year old use my phone often, and I still don't notice much wear. There are a couple of tiny scrathes on my screen protector, and they are only noticeable in direct light at certain angles. I have had the protector on for about 3 months. My old protector (Zagg HD) showed fingernail dents and nicks about a week after I put it on.

the realook 3d forming is essentially the same thin material as the SGP curved crystal. It does dent very easily, but I do find that the dents flatten out and get much better after a day or two. It's not self-healing by any means, but the depth of the dents actually decreases and becomes almost invisible to the eye if the original dent isn't very deep. But I would echo everyone's advice on this thread: these full screen protectors most certainly will not work with almost every tpu case. Any tight fitting case will push up the corners of the protector no matter what you do. I learned the hard way and had to throw out 3 of them. So the cheap ebay s-curve/s-line tpu cases, diztronic, and mercury cases will not work with these protectors unless you get very lucky with your placement. Though I have all these cases and none of them worked with the realook 3d forming screen protector

Thanks Jottle. I was thinking it is probably the same material as the curved crystal. I have found 3 cases that the full coverage works with: UAG, Eclipse Element and SGP Modello. I love the look of the full coverage with these cases but with the dents, I have to replace the protector about once every 2 months.

I am currently using the Seidio Surface case with my Realook screen protector. It works without any problems. I have also used the Rock Quicksand case and the Incipio Sylicriic without any issues.

Just wanted to add that I've now tried the Tippin full coverage screen protectors as well. They are incompatible with my case as well. There are some tpu cases that will work with full coverage protectors. But the extremely tight ones that barely cover the corners will not.

My Accessories for the V20: Skinomi, Incipio, Slickwraps

Skinomi TechSkin
I decided to get Skinomi's wet-application screen protector since the V20's slightly curved glass results in tempered glass screen protectors being cut too short. This is the full coverage version and not the case friendly one they sell. I attached some images, but more can be seen in the following imgur link:
LG V20 Skinomi TechSkin
I'd recommend it if you prefer having more of the glass covered. I usually opt for Skinomi or IQ Shield (both are pretty much the same company) products for devices that don't have totally flat displays. I took the pictures two days after I installed the screen protector.
Pros:
Full coverage
The surface is smooth and doesn't feel rubbery
Display clarity isn't affected
Cutouts are exact for the camera and sensors
Blends in well with the phone
Great warranty support
Cons:
Fingerprint magnet
Lint likes to collect along the sides
Orange peel effect at certain angles, but only noticeable with the screen off
It can be indented if you happen to catch it with your nail, but it tends to smooth out on its own
Incipio
Carnaby Esquire Series: Nicely designed case and fits perfectly. Don't really have anything negative to say about it, except for the price. Thankfully, I got it while it was on sale. Also, both this case and the NGP are compatible with the Skinomi screen protector.
Imgur link to more pictures
NGP Advanced: Between the two, this is my favorite. It provides great grip and is slightly thinner. I wish the power button cutout was slightly larger/more angled, but I can still use the fingerprint sensor fine.

Slickwraps
I got the matte black skin from Slickwraps. I was going to go with dbrand, but since they were having a sale at the time, I knew shipping for it would be delayed by at least a week. The SW skin fits perfectly and doesn't affect case compatibility. It also comes with sections for the top and bottom, but I've only installed it for the back plate.

I got it too, however if you use a case yiu will noticed peeling at the sides
I wish it could be 2mm shorter on each side.
I'm using it also. I've had it on for 3 weeks and my bumper case has not affected it.

Sorry for the late reply. Skinomi sells a case friendly version of their screen protector. I believe it's the same height, but they cut the sides shorter for case compatibility. That said, both of my Incipio cases work great with the Skinomi screen protector.
that SlickWrap black matte looks nice! does the camera section fit perfectly such that it would be hard to remove? I have a plastic film over mine now, but noticed a few times when I take the case off that it pulls that off too

tempered glass screen protectors

Okay. Here it is. We can start the debate soon about which screen protectors actually work on this phone without Halo and bubble issues. It is always an issue with these curved glass screens but there are always 1 or 2 screen protectors that people can get to actually work. Please post which ones you have purchased and how well they worked.
Posting without pictures is not helpful to anyone.
Ordered the ones through Amazon from Mr. Shields and the case/protector from HanhuaTech. The Mr. Shields order gave me 3 and all 3 were nothing but bubbles. Never used their stuff before and highly disappointed. The latter was a nice case, but the screen protector has a black ring around the edges and is impossible to line-up so it doesn't cover the edges of the display area. No bubbles though. Just cut off part of my screen. Still looking. The Otterbox Defender does not include a screen protector.
I tried those Mr shield protectors with my v30 and they were garbage.
The supershieldz worked well with my v30 but the v40 version has that stupid black border which means it only has adhesive at the edges and will have the rainbow effect
Guess we're all screwed for a bit. For what this thing costs, I refuse not to have the tempered glass protector, but they all have the black ring or bubbles. Early adopter blues I guess.
Curved screens, like the V40 (and pretty much every flagship phone) have tend to have poor tempered glass adhesion, in my experience. It seems they all utilize only adhesive along the outer edge, leading them to come unstuck extremely quickly and easily. All of the reviewed models on Amazon, likewise, have this problem. Hopefully a good one will come out for this phone at some point reasonably soon.
I know that T-Mobile tried to sell me an overpriced one when I purchased my phone, though I'm not certain they had any in stock yet. If no models come out that stay stuck pretty well, I will take purchase one of theirs, as they will replace it every time I come in the store.
Be patient and wait for IQ Shield LiQuidSkin, best on the market for curved screens. Available mid Nov.
I quite enjoy the bodyguardz one I got. It's aluminosilicate like gorilla glass and does have the black border, however I've seen 0 rainbowing. Also comes with lifetime replacements which I will probably thoroughly abuse.
I just ordered a set right from their website. It didn't list that it wasn't in stock and ready to ship, so we'll see!
Don't rush! The earlier you get it, the bigger the risk it's not properly tested yet (especially when it comes to curved screens). This early after release, you're the guinea pig...
While I'm waiting for "IQ Shield LiQuidSkin" I ordered "PULEN Screen Protector"... I'll keep you updated!
I ordered the Poetic tempered glass screen protector. Works like a charm. 3 Days and still sticking no problem. No halo, rainbow effect, etc. Absolutely loving it. Fit is amazing and the feel is as good as the original glass, if not slicker. I'm using it with a Ringke Fusion-X case and they work perfectly together. The screen protector is case friendly and the gap between the glass and case is very minimal.

I know PULEN hasn't got very good reviews, but for now, while waiting for LiQuidSkin, it's all good, fits almost perfect. Nothing I recommend though. The black frame covers a faction of the visibility of the screen (left and right side)
But totally OK. Let's see if it falls off before I get my LiQuidSkin?

I was just looking at the poetic glass on Amazon and can't seem to find a good enough review that specifies it the tempered glass fully seals to the device or only seals around the edges of the glass?
Just heard from Whitestone email support that they do not currently plan on producing Dome Glass for the V40... real shame. Maybe some other V40 owners can chime in to pique their interest?
I was also just looking at the Poetic before I came over here, and also wonder if it is in fact full-adhesive. Anyone?

I've been looking at that but but I'm in high doubts it's full adhesive
I just installed the Poetic tempered glass from Amazon and it has a massive rainbow effect. There clearly isn't any adhesive in the middle. Until someone makes a decent one it will have to do.

Dang, it seems so difficult to find good tempered glass screen protectors. Poetic seemed promising but glad you confirmed it is not full adhesive, since so many brands don't specify.

Update!
Amid medium level reviews on Amazon, I have to say I'm surprised this pulen sp is working so well. Some kind of drier than normal glue, covers the whole sp, and if you place it perfectly, it's actually a very nice sp. The black frame slightly covers (1/10 of a mm) of left and right sides, but it really doesn't take away anything, not even the screen off blue notification around the frame. I'm not sure about the physical strength though. I'm a very careful person, never really drop my phone. No rainbow! No dust stuck around the borders. Right now I'm not sure I will order the liQuidSkin? I'm happy with this one

I'm using Key liquid glass screen protector. I can't stand the film protectors so decided to use this. It's a wipe on application, scratch resistant, 9H superior hardness rating, water proof and anti bacterial. Just clean the screen with the included cleaning wipe than apply the liquid screen protector via the included wipe. Let sit for about 5 minutes and you're set.

So what's everyone planning on getting or using?
I'm not a fan of tempered glass, so I still tend to rock the film ones.
Have been using the Ringke Dual Easy Film on my S10e, and they're perfect, however they're not yet available for the Pixel 5 (They are coming though!)
Grabbed myself some of the Atfolix ones https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08KLV9P1W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, again, used these in the past on the Pixel 2 (I think it was) similar to the Ringke, just a different type of installation method.
Is it wet install film protector?
Had wet on my last phone and nothing beats it

No it's not the wet installs
I'm in the same boat. I've never had a tempered glass screen protector that I liked. I picked up this since it was the only non-glass one I could find. Hopefully it doesn't suck.

Let me know what they're like!
Ringke dual easy film are out on Amazon, however, it's the wings version, which wraps around the side of the phone. :/
I've just ordered a 'Brotect' screen protector having previously had a positive experience on Nokia 8, will report back.
Man i can't seem to find any good screen protectors on amazon, all those already there are either not available before November (though it already has comments...) Or doesn't fit... Didn't check on other websites though (Fr here).
I too ordered a brotect airglass screen protector, 3 pack for £8.19.
Previously I had purchased one off amazon that I returned as the punch hole cutout would not align - most of the ones on amazon have the same issue of alignment based on the odd reviews coming in. I hope brotect will be good as it's made in Germany.
Screen Protector
I just fitted my Supcase Unicorn Beetle case w/ built in screen protector - it is amazing, makes my P5 feel much better in my giant hands.
if I didnt get this i'd wait for the spigen Glas-T, they fit like a glove and work well on their own or with their cases (liquid air is on order as a backup)

Looks a little bulky
How is the screen protector?
Laughing at the speaker holes when it's under the screen
a naked Pixel is just too dainty for my hands, protector is nice and responsive.
I can recommend the Brotect air glass screen protector. Precise width (which has led to me having half a mm uncovered on the right as it's the same amount over on the left...) but very easy application and looks great. Fits fine with a Spigen case.

Does it come with a cutout for the camera as shown in the picture on amazon?

I ordered mine from here but it looks like the same one. Yes it has that style of cutout.
Avoid the AtFolix range. I've used them before and theyre usually fine, these are another level of poor!

Ordered a pack of the Media Devil Protectors - Hopefully these will be better!
I have applied the brotect screen protector. If you apply it properly (my second attempt) then you can cover the entire screen. First time using it but on appearance it does not seem like glass at all, looks more plastic so cannot comment on the durability. But it is very thin and looks great.
Only the top left camera portion is unprotected as there is no punch hole but rather a corner cut out in the protector
I have the LK tempered glass. It is not bad at all. A bit small for my liking. It covers all of the screen though. Has a cut out and sticks well. Tempered glass is going to
be interesting for this phone as I think they will all look very narrow and short. While the screen is flat the gloss border curves away and you have to choose where protection ends. My personal preference might be for film this time but will see. This is fine for now. I had a Zagg protector ordered from them but it got cancelled. Frustrating.
Puzzling why the Supcase has 2 extra holes on the top of the protector in the middle... very weird.

Question Screen protector question

Are there any issues with having a screen protector on this curved screen? Are they harder to put on? Do they tend to come off? I'm trying to decide between getting the Pro or the regular version. I know in the past there were issues with curved screens. In addition to what's mentioned above, the screen protectors for curved screens didn't provide complete coverage. TIA
If your happy with none tempered glass then curved isn't a problem. I've still got the one that came with my devices and have no issues with keeping it on for as long as possible
There some nice uv light glue +tempered glass on aliexp, i'm waiting for mine, i had curved displays before and it's the best you can get, the glue is really there to be on all the surface nad even on the curves, i'm tempted to install some s20+ protector on my 9pro because it's the same size nad curves, till the ones i'm waiting for arrives
It's ok, but my devices prefer naked...

I've ordered a couple too.
I bought the Spigen NeoFlex from Amazon, they are a TPU protector and they are useless, too flexible to apply easily and also the edges do not stay stuck down to the curve so would pick up dirt and come off easily. I sent back for a refund as not fit for purpose in my view.
I bought the Zagg InvisibleShield GlassFusion+ for my Pro and the normal tempered glass by Zagg for my 9. Both with the eye comfort, micropel bs. The GlassFusion+ is the old school "rubbery" type screen protectors. It definitely feels like glass, but isn't glass. It goes somewhat to the edges of the glass. Maybe stops ⅛" from the actual end of the curve. Bubbles like crazy by the curves. Keep having to smooth them out but they keep showing up. Not sure if it's cause of the screen protector or not. Went to register them with Zagg and had to talk to customer care and it escalated to a supervisor because apparently they're not even in their system yet. Go figure lol

Are you saying that the phone comes with a tempered glass screen protector and there are no issues with it?
It sounds like for the curved screen the tempered glass is better and for the flat screen you can use TPU. Is that the consensus?

i still cant recommand it yet because didn't receive it, but what i do recommand is a screen protector that come with the glue and uv light, because the glue will be at all the surface, hardens fast, no bubles, and it does not come loose easily

I've not recieved my glass ones, and I'd certainly go with a LOCA/UV glue version as those that are out on Amazon look to not be full glue coverage, some even just have the top,sides and finger print scanner and they look awful.
I can safely say though that I feel a TPU one would be false economy as not only do they offer very little in the way of drop protection, the one I tried didn't fit well at all.
On my 8 pro , I've used a few UV type glued protectors with no issues at all with Whitestone Dome being my favorite for a genuine feel and solid protection. I emailed them and they said later this month for the 9 pro. If you go this route justake sure to put the sticker over your ear piece when applying the glue.

Whitestone Dome was the best I had on previous phones. Thanks for the info on time frame. My factory-installed film protector just started to lift on one edge yesterday so I'm ready to buy a replacement, but I'll probably wait and get one of those.
