A3/A5 background protector - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Accessories

Hi everybody, I have a recommendation for you. I hate cases because I love my phone due to his design and this is 50% why I bought it. So I have bought 3D full body temperature glass for display as usual, but I didn't find any glass for background glass which is easy to scratch. So I decided to buy only film from this site XTREME SKINS. On the site is a lot of variants of skins. I chose black leather because my A3 is black. And this is it. Yesterday, the package arrived and the skin is ****ing awesome. The phone looks very good. I have uploaded photos with it. (sorry for bad quality of photo)

My order arrived today. The backcover had an round imprint, the camera lens protector is rubbish in my opinion. My mistake was that I mistakenly thought a display protection is included in the package.
Overall I'm not very satisfied with the 15 Pounds I invested.
Maybe others are luckier or more satisfied than I am. Guess you got to try it out. Everything shown on the website looks very convincing though.

This would be nice since the phone without a case is very slippery. One question I have is, is the skin thin enough that you'd be able to put a case on for the times where more protection is needed? Thank You

Yes, it is, I use case sometimes when I take the phone to dirty places (outdoor activities, camping).

No option for a7?

screen protector

Ordered this screen protector( http://tinyurl.com/24pks3g) on Mon. Hope it comes today since that is when I will be getting this phone. Anybody ever use clearfreak screen protectors before? Any good? I hope it doesn't look orange peely like the zagg on my g1.
just got my clearfreak yesterday but won't have the phone until 7/23
it feels thinner & more flexible than the zagg , and the cutouts are correct for the vibrant where the zagg has the cutouts for the i9000

Thanks for sharing the coupon! I just ordered one. It will probably get here before the phone does
Thanks, I'll be ordering one as well .
I'm thinking of picking one of these up.
I've used a Zagg on my G1 which was nice at first, but became real ugly after a while. I eventually removed it because it looked really gross on the edges.
How does this compare? I plan on only getting the screen cover, don't need the back covered.
Why is it cheaper on ebay? It appears to be the official clearfreak ebay account, but their prices are much better (even with coupon) than their website offers. What gives?
Any reason not to put this on my phone? What I liked about the Zagg was that I could just wipe it down once with my shirt and all the smudges were gone instantly. I also liked the smoother surface for gliding my finger. It seems without the Zagg my G1 screen had too much friction.
I've used lots of different brands of screen protectors and found the Invisible Shield to be my least favorite. They are a good product, I just don't like the texture of them - it's a personal preference.
I'm considering not using a protector on this phone, though. I always used a screen protector in the past, even on my clamshell phones, but the durability videos floating around are pretty impressive. Not sure if it's technically Gorilla Glass, but whatever they use, it seems pretty damned tough.
For those of you with a unit in-hand, how durable does that glass seem?

I got mine yesterday but I am not quite ready to test the durability. Maybe a braver soul can help though.
BTW I am in for one from Clearfreak from eBay.
Also I don't recommend buying the T-Mobile screen protector, it doesn't cover the whole front, which on this phone is just weird.
I'm not sure about durability as I'm not willing to do any crazy test, but it's going to be hard going with a screen protector b/c the screen is just so nice to use.
That glass really does a nice job with fingerprints. Obviously they're still there, but the glass seems to reduce the effect and they aren't noticeable at all when you're using the phone.
I hear that most screen protectors make fingerprints more noticeable and aren't nearly as smooth.
yet but no matter how hard the glass, it will show degradation from windborne sand, grit etc, or grit/sand in your pocket, salt on your fingers etc
i've got watches with hardened sapphire crystals that i have to polish occasionlly with diamond grinding compound (same stuff used on optical lenses) cause the surface shows microscopic pitting, scratches etc
I've only every used clarivue protectors in the past. I liked them and I will probably post from them when available. Not sure how it will work with swype though.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
hey when you get your clearfreaks on your vibrants, can you post how you feel about them. Im lookin for a protector for the captivate and am nitpicky about image quality and touch sensitivity.
I bought the T-Mobile screen protector and I'm not happy at all. It gives the screen a grainy look. I just ordered the Clearfreak one. Its $5.99 on Ebay sold by them.

I second this. I removed mine immediately! It turns an amazing display into an average one. Looking forward to the clearfreak reports.
From looking at the eBay pic the ClearFreak doesn't have cutouts for the front facing camera. I checked the Zagg site and their's does.

There isn't a Front Facing camera for the Vibrant. The one on Zagg is a cutout for the i9000.
Ok I just installed the clearfreak screen protector, followed the directions on their video and and it came out alright I guess, not perfect though. I'm sure it will take some time too set in , but I can see some fingerprints even though I had them wet the whole time. hopefully it improves. When the phone is lit up you can't see any of the flaws and swiping through screens is flawless and very responsive.
I have include two pics, mind you these were take within 30 min. of installing it.

Update: After a few hours it has settled in quite nicely. The finger prints that I thought were there initially are now gone and is super smooth almost too where I forget its even there. Good buy!
the martin fields video had a nice tip for handling the screen protector without getting fignerprints on the sticky side
check the video on their website, but it was a simple idea - using two pcs of scotch tape on either side with half of of the tape not on the protector - gives the user a small "handle" area to use to hold the screen while trying to position it correctly on the phone
just a suggestion

How clear and how is the feel of their protectors
I have never used a screen protector, so I am not sure of that but I have used their back protector and it is top notch. I have a brushed aluminum on my phone. I am considering getting a brushed steel for the note to give the back a little firmness and protection.:good:
Their screen protectors feel like the Zagg invisibleSHIELDS and are installed the same way. I'm not really a fan of their screen protectors as I prefer the smooth feel. I do love their back protectors though.
I wish these companies that sold full body protection would sell the backs separately.
Skinomi is awesome, customer service is great. I had a classy wood grain for my TFT201. Can't wait to get one for the Note. To be honest though, I never was a huge fan of the screen protector. It is definitely serviceable. But I love the skin to avoid scratches to the casing. And to class it up via dark wood grain.
my skinomi just arrived today. Im just waiting for it to dry up a lil and ill post some pics if anyone wants

Ill post pics once i get one my pc. It was an easy install but if you use your note to draw i suggest you keep the screen bare. I notice the screen protector increases drag on the spen and makes photoshop incredibly aggrivating

Agreed. I don't like screen protectors. The always diminish the look of the screen, regardless of how crystal clear they supposedly are.
I also wish Ghost Armor was faster at new products. I prefer the Matte finish.
I am more interested in the back skin. How did that work.

Screen Protectors?

So since this phone is so inexpensive, are we going to get screen protectors for it? Or just let it go? I'm probably going to get something simple, like this one, just for some basic protection. Is anyone else planning on getting any sort of protection?
Thanks in advance!
I bougth one and after 2 weeks is scratched and has a crack so you should no spend your money on this
Yeah, the tempered glass screen protector is pretty good.
i usually just let it go, feel better than cover any protectors
Hi:
I depends on how do you use you screen.
I have own a Galaxy S, SIII and now this Moto E 2015 , and never ever used a screen protector. No scratches on screen. Nevertheless I know some people using the phone as a kitchen cutting table and have the same results (as the kitchen table).
Gorilla glass is pretty hard though.
I actually have screen protectors on my devices just so because it feels good to know there's an added protection. You may want to check this one.
The Tempered film is a better choice.
Where i live in Canada i could not find one in store.
I was able to see a couple cases but they were super cheaply made and super expensive (in my Mall)
So i didn't buy a case.. i also didn't want a bulky case because i lucked out and found a sweet belt clip case at Wallmart.
The case from Wallmart fits my dimensions perfectly for the phone and has my phone attached to my belt now
I like using my phone to listen to music while i ride my mountain bike.
So what i ended up doing is getting an iPhone 6 protective film for $2 and i just trimmed the top off and laid it on top my phone.
i have 95% of it covered and it looks ok.. i had done a better job but i tried to make it perfect and screwed it up.
Pro Tip: Don't be a perfectionist when making your own cut and paste protective film LOL
Also..
I could have gotten a protective film from a kiosk in my local Mall that is suppose to be strong etc.
The kiosk custom cuts the protective material for any device from watches to phones, so i *could have done that.
But, they wanted about $35 can. after taxes for my cheap phone so i said no thanks.
I do want to ask any of you out there a question (i am fairly new to android phones only had a S3 for a few months before)
What i want to know is are the Gorilla glass screen good enough that i can just ditch the plastic film stuff ?
Like i have seen some guys say online that they don't bother putting a protective skin on the phone.
So what do you guys think ? Maybe i should ditch the protective plastic stuff on my phone ?

gorilla glass is preatty hard, it can survive some hard things like keys or somethig made of metal but there are things that can easy scrach it - for example sand (because it's harder than glass). I can't recommend plastic screen protectors, they do the job but they are real fingerprints magnets. It's impossible to keep it clean. I think you should buy glass protector, you can find cheap ones on some chineese sites with free shipping (it takes like month but I think it's worth)
Today I got my 3$ tempered screen protector form Chinese auction site. The shipping was free, it should take more than 30 days according to info on the site but I've waited only 12 days. IMO the glass quality is very good but it's my first tempered glass protector. Instalation process was easy (even without instruction on the box but there is a lot of videos on YouTube about instalation) though I have small air bubble around proximity sensor. It's my first glass so maybe I've done something wrong. Anyway I'm very happy, I had plastic foil before and it's like day and night. The fell of the glass under the finger is great. IMO this 3$ glass is a great deal.
I bought my one here http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2-5D..._77_91_80,searchweb201644_5,searchweb201560_9
Edit
Today that bubble dissapered for itself, now it sticks perfectly. For 3$ I'm more than happy.
Just go get one from XtremeGuard and use a coupon to bring the price down to like $2.
tyvm got all the info i need here

I had something like that on my last phone and it got really scratched after 1 week, mostly from this metal things around pocket in jeans pants. It made screen look grainy too but it was pretty comfortable to use in sunlight.

Ahhh I see, well you could get a case that covers the screen, that way it doesn't get grainy or scratched. Regardless of the screen or screen protector, I think it's not recommended to place your phone on the same pocket you have your keys in, or other metal things.

I think about those two metal spots around pocket in most of jeans' pockets. I just want to say that it won't suit for every people, I used something like that and I was really mad about how it made my screen grainy and how soft it was although it performed preatty good in sunlight and fingerprints wasn't so visible. Then I had non matte one, screen looked better but it was real fingerprints magnet. It was harder but still It got scratched after some time. Now I have glass and for me it's the best choice. It's very transparent, very hard and it's not so bad with fingerprints but it's thick so it can colide with some cases (not an issue for me). That's just my opinion about thoose protectors.

Well I bought mine for 2$ on chinese site (aliexpress). It's cheap, preatty easy to install, very scratch resistant and very clear, screen looks bright and it feels great under the finger. The downsides are that it's thick so it won't work well with every case, I use it with orginal grip shell and it's good combo because of the case design: http://forum.android.com.pl/uploads/monthly_12_2015/post-142525-0-25574200-1451048167.jpg The second problem is that the oleophobic coating wears off but after 2-3 months it's still not so bad (but it was better when it was new).

[REVIEW] Phantomskinz Ultra Clear Full Body

I can not believe how great this turned out for me! Pictures attached...I have always been a fan of the clear skin screen protectors and I have tried them all! (Skinomi, Zagg, etc) The one company I always come back to is the Phantomskinz brand. They seem to just have the smoothest, glass like feel of them all. The presentation of the protector is awesome and installation was just like any other clear skin, but I thought I botched the install a little bit. Just like most clear skin protectors, the next morning came around and the flaws were gone.
I am could not be happier with this screen protector and my wife could not even tell I had a full body screen protector on it! Highly recommend!
Can I still toss a case on it if I wanted to? That looks great might look into that once my phone shows up. Does the finger print reader still work well?
Thanks so much! I do love how this turned out! This phone is so cool! I believe you could toss a case on this but i would not be taking the case on and off multiple times. If you want to use a case, phantomskinz offers a case friendly version. I went with the non case friendly full body.
The fingerprint scanner works perfectly. Just like a screen protector is not even there

So I'm guessing if you drop this, it'll still shatter right?
I'm not really sure and I hope that I don't find out if it will shatter. I have only shattered phones when I didn't have a screen protector on it. I think this skin will protect it well though.
Had this installed 1 week and is still flawless. It even survived a decent fall. Still so happy with this!
What is the back made of? Plastic?
The phantomskinz film on the back is made of the same type film on the front. Gives it a really nice feel and it give the phone a much nicer grip
It's a nicer grip even though it feels like glass? I just got my phone and it seems so dang slippery, wish I could get a Spigen Incredible Shield like my last phone.
Can you take some pictures of the sides? I checked out the website and shows the back protector covers the sides as well and even the top of the pop up camera.
it covers camera ?
The camera works perfectly with this front and back screen protector. I am sure every screen protector works perfectly with the camera because if it didn't that would be one horrible design flaw, lol
I must be abi-normal, lol, I like the provided screen protector and case!
Liking the original screen protector is similar to liking the speakers that came with a TV rather than a sound bar
I just ordered this wrap for my 7 pro. I have the blue one, and it's just too pretty to put a case on. Does it make it less slippery?
Definitely improves the grip a ton! Love the feel of it.

Thank you for the review, I've been looking at this product for sometime but didn't pull the trigger . I always used dbrand , is it hard to install it ? How long it took to deliver? Also really curious about how matte looks...
Dbrand is good and I have used them but I don't believe they make one that covers the edges like this one. Install is the same as dbrand if you get the skin and pretty easy. If you get the ultra clear it is like any other screen protector install. Can be a little tough but in a day always comes out so nice for me.
Mine is the ultra clear full body and it has help up perfectly. Even gives it a nice grip and a great feel. Took about 3 to 4 days after I ordered to get to me in the USA.

Accessories For anyone struggling to get a good screen protector for their Poco F3

I prefer tempered glass protectors. The factory fitted one is fine but had started to lift very slightly at one corner and just doesn’t quite feel as nice as glass. I think glass gives more protection too.
I luckily found a glass protector that fits well (link below). Unlike the other 4 others I tried first, it seems to have been designed and actually tested on an F3. It comes with a handy fitting frame which is crucial given the slightly inclined screen edges. It also has a nice rear camera protector made from the same glass and not film like some others. It’s not perfect because of the gutter dust trap, but the heavily rounded edges give a real quality feel. It goes well with a nillkin frosted shield case that sits just slightly higer than the glass for extra protection, see attached images.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08XQB39M2
The next 3 were terrible. All oversized with no hope of bonding at the edges. The hole for the selfie cam is also way too big. It seems others had similar issues but it's buried with X3 and M3 reviews.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002097368957.html
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002351810503.html
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0912JWNCR
This next one appeared to be made from plastic and also the wrong size. No scratch resistance and the edges felt terrible. It was blank packaging though so might have been a stock error.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09124QQ8K
I just looked and it's slim pickers.
My favorite IQ Sheild has zip for this model.
I like it because it's a wet apply one that lasts and is easy to install.
Too many no name brand, bad quality screen protectors out there.
Just order the Nillkin screen protector alongside a Nillkin case and call it a day.

You say this like it’s a given that they are good. I had one on a Redmi Note 5 a while back and it cracked if you looked at it the wrong way The only Nillkin screen protector I could find at the time had a black frame and reviews said it cut into the screen and the camera protector had no hole for the mic.
I think a lot of these protectors were designed without seeing the phone in the flesh and going on dimensions only. All the early phone reviews and info I saw said the F3 has a flat screen, but there is a slight bevel at the edge.

Can't recommend it. I received the Nillkin tempered glass about a month ago and a large chunk at the top was chipped off last week. Never dropped the phone and had a case with a cover on it from the start, while not putting it anywhere near keys or something. It's quite an expensive protector and not worth it at all if it does indeed break by just looking at it, like the poster above said.
It's a shame because I had good experiences with Nillkin about 6 years ago, but this is just embarrassing for the price and service (no reply from Nillkin of course).

I'm not saying Nillkin protectors are guaranteed to be good, in fact this is going to be my first time ordering one.
All I'm saying is, you'll probably waste a lot more time and money trying to find a good screen protector in a sea of bad to just average quality ones when you're probably better off buying a brand that has a bit more reputation.
When you go to buy a TV, why do you choose bigger brands over smaller brands?
For the very same reason, brand recognition and what the brand stands for most likely quality, features, value or all of the above.
Chances are you're not going to buy an off brand TV simply because you do not know how reliable the brand is and do to deal with the problems that might come along with it despite how much value that off brand offers.
Now comparing a big purchase like a TV to a screen protector that costs almost nothing in comparison is a bit unfair, but the point is the average consumer does not want to deal with problems after they've purchased a product and that's exactly what brand recognition is for.
It takes lots of marketing, advertising and consumer support for companies to build a trust relationship with their consumers, but after they've achieved that goal, their brand is usually associated with the reliable services and products they provide to their consumers.

It takes lots of marketing, advertising and consumer support for companies to build a trust relationship with their consumers, but after they've achieved that goal, their brand is usually associated with the reliable services and products they provide to their consumers.

I was going by my previous experience of their quality and by current reviews. Cost is almost meaningless at that price and it’s why I ordered lots of makes. I like most of their cases, but don’t rate their screen protectors. Cheap phone accessories like these are normally batches made under contract and quality varies dramatically for any brand... unless it’s from an OEM.
I hope your first one works out though
Or if you're in asia I recommend IBYWIND

I actually tried to get one of them but they were sold out on amazon and I couldn’t find them on ebay or aliexpress. Would love feedback from somebody using one. Great reviews and the description is good “The screen protector is smaller than the device's screen due to POCO F3 5G/Redmi K40/Redmi K40 Pro curved edges design”:

The fitting video looks good too:
After trying a few now I think I might prefer the full cover with no notch or hole though.

I actually have it on my devices including the F3. been buying IBYWIND since I had a Oneplus 6T.
It's the best for it's price. the installation is quite the same as the one you posted at the OP which is quite similar too so I guess their quality is similar?. What I like about this is it has a free carbon film for the back the camera protectos looks really nice as I have the white phone.
I bought mine on Lazada and is available at Shopee too. sadly these stores ship to Specific Asian countries.
I tried searching for it at Amazon, eBay or AliExpress but to no avail.
Yeah I prefer the one with a hole on my end tho as it kinda degrades my front cam quality at times imo lol
I just ended trying all the screen protector named in this thread: no one fits my poco f3 without leaving a small border where it doesn't stick to display..

Stock one is a foil, not a glass. It have bad protection.
If you guys like the stock protector like I do then these fit well on the F3. They are made of PET like the stock protector is. I've been using them for a while.

If you like Tempered glass ones these are good and cheap if you buy them on AliExpress. They have full adhesive and stick very well:

I have a Nillkin at the moment and I find it's grand.
Does anyone know if you can get a tempered glass protection for the back of the phone?
Nillkin is always my first choice for case and screen protector since my first HTC
Nillkin protector doesn't have front camera cut out. Can anyone comment if it affects the picture/video quality of the front cam?

Camera quality feels like shet anyways ...
I'd gladly trade already shet experience for a better touch experience not having my fingers stuck on the hole... Plus it's harder to get in there and clean it , gets dirtier faster.
Overall I think no cutout might even have better real life picture quality with just how much easier it would be to get dirt out of there
Still waiting for my screen protectors... Been waiting for months

Then try Gadgetshieldz screen guard which I've been using for a month and it is quite good compared to others because the Nillkin protector was not giving enough protection for my screen and I had a big crack on my display. So I changed to this gadgetshieldz which is almost scratch-resistant and gives good protection.
