Anybody installed some sort of proctector in the back?? Share experience.

[mikeyjrd]

Even though the back is glass and there is protection from external case, anyone installed a protector in the back (film, glass, or anything material)


Any brands or suggestions?

thanks a million.

I use this, but I also have a skin, and a case haha so probably a little overkill but I don't want to damage this thing. If I could wrap a pillow around it I would. https://m.aliexpress.com/s/item/32832315490.html?spm=a2g0n.search-cache.0.0.30c0f4f1MpT7WO#autostay

Yeah, me really thinking about getting one for the back as well, prefer glass type.

For the back, i know that there is lots of film ones. Some sites in other languages sell glass ones but it doesn't look trustworthy and there maybe shipping problems ..

Just trust the robots at dbrand. Best back skins around, look cool also!

Sent from my Galaxy Note8 using XDA Labs

Well you asked and that's where I got mine, and had no issues, just like buying from eBay. I also have a skinomi full skin on it.

I installed a full body skinomi, good for protecting back from dust and sand particles that inevitably will get between the case and the back of the phone, these particles trapped this way cause a lot of damage

Agreed. Hated the way my note 3 looked after a case. Resale should be much easier with a near perfect phone.

Did u get a glass protector in front and fits in your case too?

 

[winol]

No, because I have bad experiences in the past with cristal protectors that never fit really well with curved screens

2nd for the dbrand dragon skin. Also adds some friction for holding the phone without adding any thickness

I ordered 2 slickwraps Note 8 naked series for the back. One glossy and one Matte. They are regularly 15.95 each but they have a 50% off sale going now with the code Apocalypse so I bought both for 15 bucks to try them out.

Is the Glossy one completely transparent? The pics on website show a black tint which covers mirror shine. What about the sides and top & bottom?

Don't like the skinomi cuz u have to spray & spray.

The glossy is completely transparent. It's a thick plastic, though, and you need a ton of solution to get it on, etc. It only comes with the back pieces, they don't seem to have a kit for the Naked series.

"need solution" means you have to add the glue yourself? does it cover all the way to the edges?

I know Rhinoshield makes one, not glass, and it doesn't go all the way to the edges.

It goes all the way to the edges but it's not glue, its just a soap and water mix they give you in a spray bottle.

Thats the same way you apply the skinomi stuff, but their clear wraps are not transparent. I want the peel & stick type. I'll check in other places to see.

Thanks anyways

I got a wet applied screen protector for the back. I want to maintain the look of the back without covering it with a skin. This is the one I have and works perfectly with my Lumion case. (I imagine it would work with any case) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07516Y9B5/ref=crt_ewc_title_gw_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AZPYIARPTPBOT

For those without back protectors but use a case, the back will still get scratched easily. On my Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, the glass back had tiny scratches even if I kept the phone in a case all the time. Tiny dust particles still managed to get trapped between the glass back and the case. A back protector is a must if you want to maintain the pristine condition of the back glass.

Slickwraps plus spigen

Bought a slikwraps skin and a spigen clear case.
Slickwraps as usual is a pain in the butt to install and they always take 2+ days to ship the item from the moment you buy them but is till prefer their designs.
Spigen iv'e use them since my s6 and i always liked them, past spigen clear cases turn yellow after some time, i'm hoping this ones won't since it says they have improved the yellowish thing happening.
