Tempered Glass Screen Protector + TPU Transparent Case - Xiaomi Mi A1 Accessories

Recently I bought a pack with a tempered glass screen protector and a TPU transparent case of the brand "FLOSS".
Here you have link of amazon: http://amzn.eu/1ht83FL
In addition to the screen protector and the case, it also includes a necklace to carry the phone, a memory or others.
· The TPU case fits perfectly to the phone, covering all corners, including the camera (also the space between cameras and flash) and screen, as it protrudes a few millimeters
It's very thin, so it just 'fattens' the phone.
Another point in favor is that it has protectors for the audio jack and the USB connector.
· The screen protector is tempered glass, with a very good touch and oleophobic treatment (anti-stain).
It has a black frame, which is the one that adheres to the screen.
The tactile part has a matrix of points that, in comparison with other protectors that I have tried, are hardly appreciated. This matrix avoids that visual 'stains' are created by the curvature of the crystal, since this remains 'floating' on the screen, without appreciably affecting the tactile response.
To put some snag, I think that size is not perfectly adjusted to the screen. The navigation icons do not match those of the phone and may be 1 millimeter in size around the perimeter to perfectly fit the screen size. On the other hand, it does not affect its use and, if a thicker case is used, it is better that way, since it prevents the case from lifting the protector.

Honestly, that looks really crappy

HandheldItems.com TPU Case and Matte Screen Protectors

Hey everyone, I wanted to provide some commentary briefly on the accessories I received for my One X yesterday from HandheldItems.com.
I ordered:
(1) black HTC One X TPU Case (Product Code EcHtcOneXTpuChkBlk) and
(3) HTC One X Matte Anti-glare Screen Protectors (Product Code HhiHtcOneXScnMat/HhiHtcOneXScnMatX3)
Comments:
First, the TPU case is good. It fits the ports wiht appropriate cutouts, it fits uniformly over the front of the device, and it looks nice. It is a glossy TPU case (I have seen some cases that are matte or are a mix of matte and glossy - this one is completely glossy). It provides several millimeters of depth to the front of the device to keep the screen from resting on whatever surface you might place the device down on. Also, the camera opening on the back of the device is such that it conforms to the camera lens surround and provide depth such that the lens doesn't touch whatever surface the phone is resting on. It does not however provide as much lens coverage as, for example, the Casemate Barely There cases. But it was also less than half the price of that case.
The screen protectors are unfortunately another story. The matte finish is nice and it reduces reflections considerably. Like any matte protector, it is evident that there is a screen protector on the device and the clarity of the screen is affected, but only minimally. If you're a purist though you may not like the look - I have always preferred matte screens. The fit is the problem with this product though. They are too long. To get the screen protector to adhere fully at the top of the screen, the bottom corners push off the screen onto the phone body and do not adhere. I tried two different screen protectors and had the same result (I ordered the three pack). Also, the screen protector only conforms to the curve on the top of the screen, not the bottom (I tried screen protectors in both orientations and it seems clear that the curve of the screen at the top of the phone is slightly more pronounced than the curve of the screen at the bottom of the phone). Also it would be nice if they were slightly wider because as is if you are slightly to the side then the full active portion of the screen will not be protected (there is only approximately 1mm of margin left/right).
Unfortunately I don't have any pictures to share as I didn't have an opportunity to take any but I think my commentary will give you the necessary info. I'll try to take some pictures this evening unless someone beats me to it.
Here are some pictures of the phone with the case and screen protector. Handhelditems.com is working with me to eliminate the concerns I have with the screen protectors.

So with the screen faced up, the lens cover doesn't touch the table, right? If so that would be fairly adequate protection (As it has been for my Optimus 2X). Does the screen protector fully adhere to the screen? I've had problems with phones that have curved edges on the sides of the glass. It makes it impossible to use static-based screen protectors and I'm no fan of the ones with water application.
some close up pictures for the camera lens area would be appreciated...good and short review...by the way,what's the price?

Spigen SGP Screen Protector and Skinomi DryTech HTC One X Skin Protector

So i just received my Spigen SGP Anti-fingerprint ultra fine screen protector and Skinomi DryTech HTC One X Skin protector today.
For those thinking of getting both or either one of these, here are my first impression...
I'm returning the Skinomi DryTech, doesn't fit right. The cutout for the rear 5-pin and speaker holes doesn't fit properly. It covers one of the gold pins and part of the speaker holes. The camera cutout a bit too big. Maybe i'm just too fussy, but i'm so used to BestSkinsEver type of fit, very minimal gaps and very close precise fit. Guess i'll have to wait for BSE to come out with HOX skins. I've given up on Invisibleshield ever since they added Zagg to their name, quality just wasn't the same.
Next, Spigen SGP Anti-Fingerprint Ultra fine Screen Protector Steinheil enhanced optical hard coated film. It doesn't cover the whole screen just the middle flat part. Although i'm not really happy with the fit, i'm keeping them until i find a better alternative.
I'll try post some pics, but the only camera i have now is the HOX camera..
update (12th May 2012):
Received the replacement full body skin from Skinomi, fits better but still not aligned 100% so they sending me another replacement.
Decide to try the Skinomi's DryTech Screen protector that came with the full body kit.. it fits to the edges of the curved surface, slightly rubbery feel, but not as bad as other skins i've tried. few micro bubbles right after installation, seems like the bubbles slowly disappearing. Will try it out a few weeks and update my views.
I don't think we'll ever find a traditional type of screen protector to cover the screen 100% because of the curvature of the edges. Best coverage would be from a flexible wet application screen protector ala BSE or IS. Downside would be the sticky orange peel texture.
I also received my SGP Ultra Fine Screen Protector today. I'm not opening it or keeping it. It has a matte appearance which isn't for me. I'll have to sell it on eBay or something. How much should I ask for?

According to the product description:
- Covers the front face of your device, including the screen and the proximity sensor with cut-outs for the home button, speaker and camera

Apparantly after emailing them, Azzatar has been sent a replacement that should fit better. I'd try that.

^^this
only a wet applicating one is gonna cover close to 100% of the screen
Just to add the SGP doesn't even cover 100% of the flat part. Top to bottom acceptable, though there is a slight gap of about 1mm. Side coverage it only covers the part of the screen where the LCD is, with about 8mm gap, 4mm on each side before the glass starts to curve.
Hard to prove my point when i can't take a pic...

I think it's less noticeable if the protector dimensions are perfectly aligned with the LCD, the edge disappears when the phone is on, but very obvious when the phone is off. My wife has a Optimus 2X, which has a even wider curved bezel, and the screen protector is sized exactly to the display also.
I agree with the others that hard screen protectors won't fit to the edge of glass, unless they come pre-molded to the screen curvature, and this might not be possible with this type of material.
Anyone tried these guys:

Spigen faq page for the screen protectors
Why is the HTC One X Steinheil Series cut smaller than the display size?
Due to the curved screen of the HTC One X, dry application films cannot adhere to curved edges. Over time, the edges will bubble and attract dust and lint which will ultimately make the screen protector unusable. Cutting the screen protector to fit the maximum display area that is not curved ensures that the screen protector will protect your device's display longer without bubbling.

yup, but never expected it to cover such a small surface area. Thought it would at least cover till the edge just before the curve surface starts.

This is exactly what I have found with screen protectors that I have bought from eBay. They are far too narrow and am quite sure that making them wider would not adversely effect it.
It seems that there is a 'single manufacturing standard size' template, which then the majority of companies have adopted to base their One X screen protectors on.
I had SGP screen protector, it only covered the visible part of the screen. I ordered Skinomi DryTech at the same time, but the full body skin did not fit well. I used the SGP got about 2 weeks, then just today decided to installs the Skinomi DryTech screen protector, it fits the screen right to the edges. It feels slightly rubbery, but not as bad some of the previous ones I had, the orange peel is not that obvious. Just fresh instal there are a few micro bubbles, I'll wait few days and see how it .
As for the Skinomi full body skin, I'm still waiting for a 2nd replacement, the first replacement did not fit that good as well.

Remember reading up on the original screen protector, it does not cover the whole screen and people were saying it was similar quality to the cheapo £3 ones from ebay.

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.
Imgur link to more pictures
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.

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

Honor 9 Cases, Screen Protectors and other 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....

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.

3 screen protectors review: Rhinoshield polymer film + glass and Sparin wet applied

I've tried the two screen protectors from RhinoShield. One is a polymer film and the other is tempered glass.
https://rhinoshield.io/pages/shop/Google?device=google-pixel-2-xl&category=screen-protector
The tempered glass (pic 1-4) was great even tho it uses dot matrix and is not full adhesive (only adhesive around the edges) because whatever they did with the dot matrix they did right. There was no loss in touch sensitivity (rare for a dot matrix protector), it felt great to touch, it's not edge to edge so it is compatible with cases and fingerprints were easy to wipe off. However, because of the edge only adhesive, when I dropped the phone and it bottom planted onto the floor, the screen protector literally just popped off. That was concerning because if it was say a 'tumble' drop versus a face plant or bottom plant, the screen protector could pop off at first impact which leaves the screen unprotected the rest of the tumble. I wish they come up with a stronger adhesive material for these types of screen protectors. Otherwise, as far as glass goes, UV tempered glass is the only way to go but there's the added risk of the adhesion liquid damaging your phone.
The polymer film is my favorite of the 3 I tried (pic 5-6). It is not a wet applied TPU protector and it is not your usual plastic film protector. You apply it like a regular plastic film protector, but it is much thicker and it actually provides impact protection like a tempered glass. If you see my other review on pixel 2 xl cases, you will see that my phone has endured many drops and I'd say this screen protector has done its job. This polymer material feels very smooth to touch, much better than the Sparin wet applied protector that I used. It is not edge to edge, in fact it leaves quite a bit of the curved edge exposed in comparison to the Rhinoshield tempered glass but that means it is case friendly. I am not as concerned about the edges and corners since I expect my case to provide impact protection those areas. This is the one that I kept on the phone and it has been for the past 10 months.
Lastly, the Sparin wet applied screen protector (pic 7-8). There's not much for me to add as it carries similar pros and cons as other wet applied protectors. It provides full coverage but left a little bit of space to be case friendly. How it handles impacts, I would never know but I don't expect much from these types of screen protectors. I was surprised as it actually felt pretty nice to touch and the orange peel affect wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. It came off after a week or two as I really only used it to tie me over until the Rhinoshield stuff arrived. It was easy to remove and left no residue.

What the Rhinoshield polymer looks like now 10 months later.
Hi. I've been looking for a good screen protector that feels as nice as tempered glass but doesn't need me to shell out 50 bucks. I was wondering how the polymer one feels compared to the tempered glass? Also, how is the clarity? I have the Am Film with the dotted matrix and the clarity is just awful.
