[?] Dot View Friendly Screen Shield

VirusZer0 · Jun 10, 2014

Hey All!

Quick question. Got a new Dot View case for my M8. Also got cheap screen shields from VZW. When the screen protector was on, the case would not close fully, took it off and now the case closes perfect. I have a Poetic clear case coming in, with no flap that covers screen, and I would like to switch back and forth. Does anyone know of any screen protectors that work 100% with the Dot View, allowing it to close FULLY?

Thanks!

I've been asking the same question. Hate how HTC left zero wiggle room on their dot case closure myself as well. Someone mentioned the Mime Feather tempered glass protector. Just got mine in the mail yesterday and going to install it later today. Hopefully this works. I too would like to switch between cases as dot view isn't oratical for me everyday use but cool for certain occassions. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the input!!! Let me know how the Mime Feather works, I heard it should work because its only .15mm! Let me know please!

Well that was a waste of $30. It closes maybe .5mm more than the $8 Chinese generic tempered glass .3mm thick protector I originally had on it. Yes this protector is crazy thin but obviously not thin enough. Guess HTC really did make it impossible to have a protector on with this dot view case cus no protector is going to be thinner than this one! Looks like we're SOL! Weak

These pictures below are of my original Chinese generic tempered glass protector found on eBay for $8. Not a $30 difference imo of thinnest quality difference.

Thanks for sharing. This blows. Lol

Anything thicker than a simple thin layer anti-glare screen will probably cause issue.

Example: Tempered Glass adds so much thickness the screen no longer fits correctly.

Your first dot view case? U where able to switch it out cus it didn't close all the way with protector on screen? Can u explain please? I know Zach is thick like the generic tempered glass, .3mm when my Mime Feather is like .1mm

I'm waiting for some generic knockoff ones to come out. Shouldn't be difficult for companies to reproduce right? It just uses a magnet or something to allow the phone to know to activate the dotview app.

Yeah zagg looks thicker than my Mime Feather for sure. Your cover looks like there is some lift to it?

yea i have not really noticed till now lol i guess the bottom right is slightly lifted

wow this is so hard to do with ipad on one had and phone on the other lol :laugh:

But you don't notice when u double tap to wake the cover bounces? If it bounces then should be noticeable it's lifted. If no bounce, that's what I'm looking for. I'll go by the Verizon store and see if I can exchange.
