[Q] Screen protector and case recommendations?

[magus57]

I just purchased the LTE version off eBay and I'll be needing a case and screen protector for it.

For the screen protector, I just want the plain 99-cents-for-3-pack type ones - no fancy wet application ones, or ones that give it a rubbery feeling, or that will peel and wear due to how thick they are, etc. And for some reason, I'm having trouble finding them - which is funny because its usually the oppsoite.

For the case, I'd like something that's still compatible with the official charge dock. From what I understand there's an adapter included to make it work with cases, but I still don't want anything bulky - I don't drop my phones, I just need protection from everyday wear. A plain slim snap on case would do - big plus if its legit bamboo/wood on the back (not cheap plastic or skin); nothing that covers the buttons, though, as I like their tactile feel.

Suggestions?

Ehm... pretentious much?
JK man, I guess you'll have to wait a bit more for more options to come when the handset is available worldwide.
In the meantime, you could check cases from PDAir, they seem like real premium ones, leather too.
Anyway, you can find simple screen protectors off eBay for 2/3 bucks for 3, but I went premium even there and bought the Gearmaxxx one off eBay, like 20 bucks for front+back.

To be fair, I think the guy I bought it from is a fraud and doesn't actually have them. Haven't received any communication from him since the 5th, even though I left a note upon purchase. Thank goodness I used Bill Me Later, I'm not actually out of that huge amount of money until I can cancel the transaction (if it comes to that).

And yeah I went ahead and got these two sets of screen protectors, plus this clear case for now:

Figure I'll give it a shot using the matte screen protector and see how I like it, and go clear if I can't take the loss in quality. And I'm considering the Incipio Watson since I do like their folio cases, but I'm not sure how I feel about having it on a phone (only had it on a tablet) and with no kickstand support.

Can I get some feedback please?

It stands between these two screen protectors

*Benks Magic HR
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SONY-XPER...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item3a83b0fa09

or

Nillkin Crystal Screen Protector

I'm looking for that glass feeling on the film when I'm using the phone. I had a screen protector like this on my SGS2 but I can't remember the name of the product. I don't want this rubbery feeling or the feeling that there actually is a screen protector there.

Edit: I ordered the *Benks Magic HR
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SONY-XPER...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item3a83b0fa09
Edit again: I missread the title as I was looking for the Magic HSR not the HR

hoping to get a refund and cancel my order
