Thanks for the photos! :)

Am in a dilemma of whether to go with Diztronic Matte Black TPU or SPIGEN Smooth White Ultra-Fit hard case. :confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] docnok63:
Two suggestions:

1) Don't ever put the phone in a pocket with metal. This includes key, coins, and earbuds. If it's absolutely necessary, face the back to the metal.

2) Don't drop your phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] brucewee:
both? :)

And be careful if you go to the beach. I ended up with a bit of sand in my pocket just from the wind blowing it around and it scratched he heck out of my screen protector on my S4. It can also work its way underneath a case and scratch up the back of your phone.

But yeah I saw a few scratches on my S4's screen when I recently went to put a new protector on and I'm always very careful with it.

Note 3 has an Extreme Guardz protector on it.

Hi guys, im almost decided to order this cover. Could you please tell me if its too much slippery for you? I read somewhere that the matte case are slippery....

Any feedback?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
I highly recommend Ghost Armor!! Ghost Armor is the only SP that I will buy, assuming they make one got my phone at the time. I currently have a Ghost Armor full body on my Asus Infinity and Note 2, with a gun metal gray carbon fiber back on my Infinity and a white carbon fiber back on my Note 2. I just bought their SP for my '13 Nexus 7 FHD, as I tried another brand that was being discussed in that subforum for the back skin. Ghost Armor is a wet install like Zagg InvisiShield, but Zagg adds a LOT of friction when sliding your finger across it and also looks terrible in my opinion! With a Ghost Armor applied your screen feels like it's still bare, and also still looks like it's bare! By far the best looking and best feeling SP I have ever used, and I've used a LOT since using touch screen phones back in the WinMo days! Also, Ghost Armor has a lifetime warranty and they will replace the front, back, or both free of charge for ANY reason! On my Note 2 I peeled the back skin from the plastic or shipped on and stuck it to the reverse side of that same paper before installing it. The reverse side was more paper than plastic, and the back skin wouldn't come off! I called G.A. and told them what I did an they sent me a new front and back free of charge! All they ask is that you send the old ones back within 60 days, if not you get charged full price.

EDIT : Oh, Ghost Armor has stands/stores in the middle isle of some malls. If you have one near you then you could go back and check out their products before ordering. You could even buy from their local store, and/or have their local store install it for you if you didn't want to. I'm too picky with my stuff, so I always do mine myself. That said, I've went by my local store and looked at people's devices that have had them installed there. Everytime I've seen people's devices there they have always looked perfect!

Just got my Diztronic Note 3 cas, it feels sturdy and barely adds any bulk, i personally like the shiney part around the screen instead of the matte. I like how the case goes all the way around unlike the spigen case, i feel like if the spigen case was dropped it would just pop off...This is a good slim case. I may pick up a spigen slim armor ina month or so.

I got a Seidio Surface holster for my Note 3 yesterday, and thankfully the Note 3 with Diztronic case fits this holster perfectly.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Whoflungdu:
My case just arrived today. Best ever so glad I found this thread thank you guys !
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ChappellHeel:
Are u saying that the seidio surface holster for note 2 will work with note 3 diztronic? Or is there a holster for N3 already?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] billf2b:
There is a Surface for the Note 3 now, which is what I have. It may be my imagination, but the clip seems stronger than the ones on my GNex Surface holsters.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kobe_No_Means_No:
I received my matte black Diztronic case and it's the best case I have so far. It's actually pretty much perfect as it's a perfect fit, looks great, all the ports are accessible, nice texture, and it's easily removable for swapping batteries.

I also have a Spigen Neo Hybrid Slate case that I will return. It is a perfect fit and looks great, but the ports are too deep. I could not charge mine using my Amazon micro usb cables with the case on. It is also more bulky than the Diztronic case.

The third case I have is a $3 bumper case that I got from Ebay. It only protects the rim of the phone. The fit is perfect but on the front it doesn't cover the entire bezel, so you kind of see a little bit of the silver bezel, which I don't like. It's also a little weird in the back, because it doesn't have a back cover so it kind of forms a big hole going from the bumper case to the back of the note 3. But it was only $3 so it was worth a try.

I also ordered a Caseology Matte White case from Amazon, but its' not here yet.

So so far the best case by far that I can highly recommend is the Diztronic matte black case, which you can get on Amazon for $10. My Note 3 is black and it looks great with the case.

hows this compared to spigem bounce thickness wise?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Miracle1980:

Totally loving the case ..I would say I don't think you will find a slimmer fit or feel from any other case ..

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Hound88:
Just ordered the matte black one for my black N3 today. I've used Diztronic cases in the past and really liked them. Disappointed that shipping is almost $7 to Canada but was only $2-3 dollars when I ordered one for my N2. Also no screen protector included now but not a big deal as I always use the Ghost Armor.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
I've got a clear Diztronic on my white GN3 and really like it. Fits great and retains the slim design and look of the bare phone. I also have a gray Spigen Bounce TPU case. I have been using the Bounce case a lot more, and received both cases on the same day. The Diztronic is slightly slimmer, and both have precise cutouts for the ports. The Spigen Bounce has a better feel to the Volume and Power buttons. I also think that the Bounce would protect the phone better in the event the phone was dropped. Can't confirm this though. I'm definitely not going to intentionally drop my phone, it just looks and feels like it would offer better protection

I've used nothing but Ghost Armor for years, on my phones and tablets. Another member actually joked about me working for Ghost Armor because I always recommend them and hady nothing but good things to say. For the Note 3 though, I don't like that they have a U shaped cutout at the bottom for the Home button instead of having a specific hole for it. The Note 2 Ghost Armor had a hole for it instead of the U shaped cutout, so I'm not sure why they cheaped out this time.

That said, for the first time in years I didn't get a Ghost Armor. I tried a TechMatte screen protector instead. I'm surprised to admit it, but TechMatte has knocked Ghost Armor out of the #1 position in my opinion! Ghost Armor doesn't feel rubbery like Zagg, but TechMatte feels like the bare screen! It also fits perfectly, thus giving you true edge to edge coverage! Not to mention they're currently on sale at Amazon. You get a 3 pack for only $4.95, instead of $15-20 for 1 from Ghost Armor. TechMatte also gives you a lifetime warranty as well! I did a write-up on it with pics, here in this subforum. You should check it out. I guarantee you will love it, and won't buy a Ghost Armor again!

To anyone who has both a gloss and matte finish cases, which one seems less likely to feel slippery in the hand, pocket, pant leg, or counter top? I'd guess the gloss case but I'm still wondering.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] @rbiter:
The clear gloss is definitely less slippery.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MF88:
i have several issues that i want anyone to clarify please:

1- my phone is HTC ONE M7u with MID PN701000, But the CID is HTC_BS001 wich i've known that this CID is for the developer edition version

and my phone is NOT a developer edition, and i don't know what is the proper stock rom for my phone since i've installed custom recovery and custom rom and i want to get back to 100% stock

tip: the phone downloaded this OTA once i opened the phone for the first time

(( OTA_M7_UL_JB_50_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.29.1540.17-1.29.1540.16_R_release_322965_signedanlz8jm3dy4gzqgi ))

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2- about the S-off and S-on, if i have S-off and i reverted to 100% stock rom and recovery will this prevent the phone from updating to 4.3 via OTA ?

------------------------------------

3- can i execute S-off while using custom Rom ? or i have to be stock ???

-----------------------------------------

4- i tried to download some stock Ruu.exe from (Bugsylawson "which is unavailable now,htc1guru and androidruu.com) but i've never been able to complete the download or even pass 30% and i don't know why..is there any website other than those that supports resuming !!

-----------------------------

thank you guys :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guich:
Wait, if your phone is an M7u, there is a prob, because the MID and the CID of this version aren't right.

So, are you S-OFFed or you're S-ON?

If you're s-off you can revert back to 100% stock and get the ota update by HTC :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MF88:
yes it's M7UL and i didn't S-off the phone yet
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MF88:

Has anyone managed to disable the voicedial button on their M500. Every now and then I hear this woman in my pocket saying "do you want to dial........" I keep getting the mick taken as I'm shouting at my phone "goodbye goodbye quit goodbye" before it closes.

I tried going into Start > Settings > Personal > Buttons and changing Button 4 to <none> and have also tried setting to Tasks or MortSaver without success.

Any help would be much appreciated.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] d-snp:
I feel for ya bro! I have the exact same problem, hope someone will come save us, cause my throat is getting hoarse of shouting at my phone to friggin' quit!

Can't reload old button, I try regedit, but nothin... :(
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] uzi_999:
u can have the program completely uninstalled.. but it will cost u a hard reset!!!

there was a hack to not install the orange software on the device- u just soft reset b4 the orange software installs, after u have tapped the screen 4 times!!

and then from the extended rom u can just choose whether 2 install the voicedial..
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] MMaster23:
What i did on my M500, hacked the registry and changed the path to the voicedail.exe. Try searching for "voicedail.exe" in the reg. with some reg. tools. You'll find one string in an OEM subdir with the path to voicedail.exe. Empty this value. Save and exit.

Prob softreset

Press the button and hey, it doesn't do **** :D. I know this isn't the cleanest way but it sure does beat an hard reset! I've set button 4 to the program Deltralock so I can lock the device with one press of an hardware button without WMP/Betaplayer crapping out. Cheers!

Yessssssss!!!!!! :D

[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Bigmille:
I brought the early SPG slim glass protector without the hole for the proximity sensor and it didn't affect the sensor from working. The Nillkin glass seems to be thinner than the SPG, 3mm vs 4mm, I'm hoping the sensor will be fine.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] bodson66:
Am i blind, because it seems there is a sensor cutout in th epic I'm looking at. I ordered one as well will report back. Really waiting for Glass-m to release one for the back as well. Also is the sony baked on the protect just as the Z was?

I have today ordered Nillkin protector - will review it :)
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] bodson66:
You can put them over top the ASF without problem, if you want to take the ASF no problems as well. As for the Sony logo it something you have to choose. I looked for one that had the Sony logo on it for the Xperia Z but not luck. I think your only solution would be to find a sony logo decal and use that.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Bigmille:
I brought one from DX-BOX last Monday, still waiting for the item to be shipped to the UK. It's at the processing stage even though the item is in stock.

If you remove anti shatter film you loose warranty.

We are complaining about this since XZ release but they don't give a damn, even repair center don't know what to do with that matter, it's been 6 months now.

Edit : wonder why Spigen has nothing regarding Z1, no Glas.t, no case, nothing!
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] dazza7111:
Will my phone be under warranty if I bought it from some one and have no recite? Also thinking of removing screen protector if not.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] OfficerTux:
I emailed the German Sony Support regarding the Shatterproof Protector and the warranty. According to them, if you remove it you will loose the warranty for mechanical and cosmetic defects of the screen, not for the entire phone.

I also asked whether one could buy a genuine replacement of the protector, but that is not possible at the moment.

[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Hupsaflups:

[Xperia Z1 Accessories] JuicyBrah:
Just ordered the Brando one.

Seems ridiculous that the screen protector that comes with the phone is tied to warranty, what do they expect people to do if they get a scratch?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Hupsaflups:
I can't believe that removing the original screen protector, leaves you with no warranty. At least not in the Netherlands.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] crusnikmachine:
yea i find this surprising, but i wonder if it would actually make an impact on display.

I think ill get the glass-m front+back set, seem to have all the features as the brando and less cost for both.

It's the right one if you have the Xperia Z Ultra.

No its the right one for. Z1 :)

Mine had the same sticker it is for the Z1, plus its thinner than the nikklin and brando and still works in my dock. by far the best I've had yet

Did you remove the Sony shatter proof screen protector?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] noryn:
as already announced my review of nilkiin Glass Protector.

first at all - I like it!

I´m an Idiot, i have applied wrong side up! Then i fliped and at all the glass takes place with solid adhesive. My first impression was the cut hole is for frontcamera - but no!

Thumps Down!

They advertise CNC cuting glass, but the can´t handle this machine. Why is there so much border of screen left around the protector??? If there is other glassprotector does screen covering better, i will buy.

before than - i love it!
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] bodson66:
That was my main complaint with the nikklin. It doesn't cover enough of the phone its cut to small. But it does have a nice feel and good anti fingerprint coating on it. The glass-m has a better fit

Think they improvise it already, my nilkin glass protector perfectly fit the screen, nice oleophobic coating too

Here is my Nillkin Amazing H+ review complete with scratch test:

[YOUTUBE]cGitbfqOc8k[/YOUTUBE]
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] sephstyler:
Hi guys, just wanted to share my thoughts around the tempered glass screen protectors. I just received my Brando ones in the mail

Previously on my Z, I had a SGP slim one, and most of my comments will be drawn in comparison to that one.

Out of the box, the brando ones didnt seem quite as premium compared to the SGP, but still, you knew you were getting a quality product.

Came with a small microfibre, and two small dust removal stickers.

Application: Application of the Brando product was EASIER than the SGP, The SGP had very strong adhesive, as such if applied poorly, you would need to damage the adhesive layer when trying to pull it back and re apply - 2 of my SGP ones had slightly lifted edged due to this. The brando adhesive wasnt as aggressive, but did alow me to lift it off quite easily. This meant, however, the brando was susceptible to some tiny air bubbles as the adhesive was trying to cure. This was easily taken care of with some firm thumb presses.

Glass itself - seemed just as oleophobic as the SGP - excellent. The brando seems about the same thickness as the thin version of the SGP - dont have a micrometer to check.

The corners are rounded, and the graduation of the rounding seems less pronounces when compared with the SGP. either way, both are high quality and lovely to touch and look at.

very happy with it thus far. just hope the oleophobic coating lasts longer than my SGP one on the Z (about 3~4 months).
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] One Twelve:
How well does it work with the case you have had. Are there any pointers to note when using a case with this protector.

I've read how if the protector is too close then it tends to come off with a case, there needs to be some clearance from the edge.

The other thing is that oleophobic coating, how long will it last, And when it does wear out you end up with gaps in the screen, does not affect visibilty but the touch sensation will change. So the protector is fine, no scratches but that oleophobic thing becomes a hassle now. makes me think its better not to have it but everybody does it with tempered glass protectors.

Anyone with 6+ months experience with oleophobic protectors want to comment here ?
