Hey,
I just got my Mate 9 and since I am like the master of scratching my phone (especially the camera lenses...) I was wondering if you guys had any good suggestions on a good flip cover/wallet case that offers strong protection against camera lense scratches? I'd be veeeeeeery thankful. :silly:

I suggest Huawei's official leather flip case (smartcase).
The original smart case protector from Huawei scratches my screen. Happened now on two different screen protectors: The one that came with it and on Brotect Airglass (tempered glass). I think the hard surface of the case is causing this if fine particles getting crushed between the front cover and screen. Maybe it's my own fault, not sure. I will test it a for a couple of hours with another glass protector and tell you.
I had it with the smart window cover of Huawei, one scratch on the glass of my Mate 7, a disadvantage I found that it does not close properly and opened in my pocket.
For my mate 9 "Mobilize Classic Gelly Wallet Book Case Black Huawei Mate 9"
The lenses are well protected and soft material protects your device. But if you need to flash it's bollocks, this bounce back part of the flash light in the lens, so this case is too thick.
I have original smart view cover too, and it really scratches the screen. Have my Mate 9 for only one week and already got plenty of serious scratches on screen. I'm verry dissapointed about it,because it's original accessory. I'm verry careful with my phones, never get any scratch with my previous phones. Do you have some suggestion what to do? Can I claim warranty on it?
Can confirm that the official flip case scratches the screen where the magnet is. Another problem is that you cannot customize cover wallpaper, so you need to modify theme files in order to change it. Otherwise leather feels nice and premium. I still have the original plastic screen protector applied so I don't care if case scratches it, glass on screen is still perfectly fine...
I removed original screen protector, because it was so badly sticked, that one side of screen protector lap over the actual screen. I love how thin is this original smart cover, but already had to throw it away, because of this scratching problem. Does someone found similar flip case but with non plastic front?
Ah thank God I thought I was crazy.
Scratches on my phone too, also from original Flipcover.
Huawei says it's not a warranty case here in the Netherlands ...
I love and recommend the cases by Stilgut. I have had them on several phones now and never got disappointed.
I can recommend a couple I've bought off AliExpress. One is Capas brand, the other is Capa Coque. Both seem good quality. The latter has a single slot for credit card.

Hi all
got the edge plus with the clear view case now i have exactly the same issue with the smaller edge with little dots and a scratch on the screen.
contacted Samsung and they say their is nothing official for the Edge Plus so the chances are they will not replace the screen free of charge.
is anyone out their in the same boat as me, is their any official notification from Samsung covering the Edge Plus
Thanks
Same sh*t for me, my brother has the S6 edge and had this problem, and I bought the clear view cover for my edge+ thinking it was fixed, after 3 days, noticed few scratches when I was on sunlight, 2 weeks with the phone and already pissed out 'cause of stupid things like these...
Sent from my SM-G928F using XDA Free mobile app
I got this case but after reading about the issues with the S6 I only used it after installing a screen protector. I then noticed small pinpricks in the protector after using the case and I could even see the indentation of a circle where the magnet touches the screen. Fortunately most of the marks disappeared from the protector after a few days but it appears that they have not resolved this in the design. I also found that the back of the case itself scratches too easily - it is already showing several scratches even though I have been very careful in handling it. I am surprised they sell it as an official case given the known problems.
The clear view case is definitely one to stay away from. Although it added to the beauty of the phone, it just was not practical, offered no screen interaction when closed and over time I would imagine it would wear out quite quickly. Returned mine after 2 days (before any scratches set in) and opted for the official SView cover which gave me back the functionality that I was used to. Having had the original SView cover on my Note3, after 2 years of hard use it really protected my phone well. The case is in gold and looks better than I expected. Fingers crossed this new SView cover for my edge+ will hold up the same.
i have the clear view case for almost 2 weeks now and not a single scratch or dent visible; maybe you guys had some dust or smth in your pockets that went inbetween the case and the screen?
I had for few days the phone didn't scratch but the cover is completely scratched and it's just awful now ?

I've had my gold clearview case for a week and it's looking a little bit scratchy but nothing too serious.
I just wonder where people's expectations lie in these cases. Of course we don't expect to see scratches on the screen when there's a protective case over it but the case couldn't have caused the scratches. Previous S-View and flap cases were quite soft and spongy, these ones are tough so grit could easily get pressed against the glass. If anything, Samsung should provide a screen cover with the case. I use a plastic screen cover anyway because I find the bare glass too slippery at times.
As for scratches on the case itself, well that's what it's for! It takes the hit so your phone doesn't, and with a mirror finish you'll see some wear and tear. If you wanted a case that maintains its original appearance then don't pick mirror finish, clear hard shell or light colours - grab a dark silicone thing to wrap around your phone and it will look the same in 2 years as it did the day you bought it. Next we'll be seeing case protector films to keep the case from degrading!

Mate,
I am a very careful user 1.5 years with M8 without any case and it still looks brand new. But a "Official Samsung case" I expect it to be a bit more durable and not prone to so much scratches and this case ain't cheap either. Now Clear case by Spigen no no scratches on the case or phone. I'm happy with the performance. I chose Clear view case from Samsung so I can take advantage of it's features.
I've bought the clear view case for my black S6E+ and I can confirm that it does indeed scratch the screen.
The first scratches appeared after something like 3 days of usage, so I've placed spigen ultra crystal to protect screen from further damage and to mask the spots.
I thought that maybe the reason was that I've carried the phone in the case in my pocket one day. But to my rage I've noticed that the case have damged the screen protector within 2-4 hours after applying it and this time there was no pocket to blame, I was home with my little girl sick so I've only moved the phone from one room to another always carrying it in the hand.
I've contaced Samsung Poland by their facebook account and they advised to report the problem to authorised service center in order to assess the damage, but I've let it go - I dont think they have much experience with replacing the screen in this particular device and I was afraid that the final effect may be in fact even worse.
So I replaced the Spigen with another one (~20$ went straight to the bin) and I stay away from the clear view case. At the beginning I was using S-View Cover (highly recommended) but I settled now with Rock TPU (way slimmer and better than Nillkin Nature or Spigen Liquid).
I've compared clear view cases for S6 and S6E+ and it is obviuos that they tried to improve the design by adding a kind of "lip" along the internal edge of the flap so I doesnt rest at the whole screen all the time. This means that the scratches will now be placed (as it was in my case) along the edges of the screen thus giving additional meaning to "S6 Edge"
It does have oleophobic coating and yes it seems to be able to heal minor scratches so thats a plus, but it really doesnt matter as long as the case meant to PROTECT the screen actually DAMAGES it.
Thanks for that. Im glad i went for the S-view instead, i had it on my Note 4 previously without a single scratch.
In UK Samsung acknowledged that clear view case causes scratches on s6 edge and they are replacing screens (only once) plus adding screen protector, wondering if its the same for s6edge+. Worth asking samsung helpline
Mine did it after just a few days. I hate flip covers anyway. But I can't un-scratch the screen.
Ugh...
Chiffon Method to avoid scratches
Chiffon method to avoid scratches
Here is something that came to my mind using Chiffon fabric to put inside the cover to protect the screen, if the screen is still prone to scratches after this, means that the screen is pure crap.
If you don't want to use the Chiffon one, pay attention not to use one made from plastic.
Material:
- A cut of Chiffon fabric, in Mexico costs 1 dolar per meter.
- Transaparent glue, the one used in school that is water washable, in case of error, it can be safely removed
PROCEDURE: (Very complex)
- Glue the fabric into the inside of the cover as you will see in the picture
That's it, is possible to use any mostly transparent fabric in cotton or polyester that is like Chiffon or better, I found this one here.
NOTE: The pictures are very bad quality, looking at the phone is mostly the same using the fabric compared to not using it.
NOTE 2: Inside the cover is mostly the same in black, the bad lighting where I shoot it creates that gray halos, is pure black and if you are a purist you can do it much better than me.
NOTE 3: "CON" mean WITH and "SIN" means Whithout
No offence but it looks really terrible...

Hi,
Just got a 8.4 Tab S and Samsung keyboard.
Please suggest a good screen protector (either plastic or tempered glass) that I can easily in Canada (either online or store).
I will also need a case that can fit the tablet/keyboard with a stylus holder.
Thanks in advance.
I have this glass screen protector. No complaints.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010BUKH1K
I am not sure about the case, I use the Samsung snap on flip cover and love it but it wouldn't accommodate your keyboard. As far as screen protectors go I have a Zagg and I love it, they have always been my favorite and if the protector ever gets damaged they replace it for you.
I'm using a tempered glass from Japan + flip plastic casing.
Dropped my tablet from knee height few weeks back and my screen didn't crack.
Previously I had other tablets without a tempered glass and the screen broke easily.
So a tempered glass is def a must-have for glass protection.
Happy with my Beetle case and Tempered glass protector on my Tab S 10.5..All from Amazon...and less than 30 bucks combined....
With the beetle case I removed the built in screen proctector due to the ugly rainbow effect...
Can't say enough good things about both of these items for the 8.4" Tab S
intelliARMOR tempered glass
Although you asked about one that also holds a keyboard, if you opt for one that is for the tablet only this is a great one. MoKo Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 Case
I'd post links and did actually, but my post count is less than 10 so you'll have to do the leg work yourself on Amazon.
I went with the book cover hence no screen protector required
I bought the Beetle case myself yesterday, it has to ship all the way from the US to the UK, so it was not as cheap as yours, what tempered screen protector did you buy, though i am not the best as installing them.

I purchased the Anoke brand from amazon..cost me 11 bucks..
No problem installing a tempered glass, it's real easy compared to a regular wet install non tempered one..
You just peel away the adhesive side and line it up carefully and lay it on the tablet, then just touch the center of the screen, it will do the rest, you then remove any excess aIr bubbles with the included cloth, no mess , no fuss...
Can the built in screen protector be removed without damage so it can be used with the case in the future?
I have an tempered screen protector, but it came with some of the adhesive around the edge damaged and i got a refund, but it looks like this case the bezel is covered so it might not be seen, so i might be able to use it.
Thanks
John.

Yes, Just use a razor blade to loosen one end.
Its basically glued with a very light film, so it will peel off quite easily.....
But honestly when you see the ugly oily rainbow effect it has you will probably never want to put it back on...
I will see what it look like, and if it`s bad i will get an tempered glass screen protector, do you know what the weight of the beetle case, I cannot seem to find it, even on the supcase website or amazon, does it add a lot of weight? EDIT: Is is it 7oz approx 200g ???
Thanks
John.

It does add noticeable weight to the tabet but nothing that would cause any issues, for me I like the added weight, The Tablet s was so light I felt I was holding nothing and was afraid of dropping it everytime I picked it up.
Now I have something I feel comfortable caring around ..
I got my case yesterday, I cannot see any rainbow effect, did you remover the protective plastic from the inside of the screen before installing it.
Though the built in screen protector is an fingerprint magnet.

Yes,
Glad yours is working out..
Only issue I have thus far with further use is there is no kickstand on the case, but I have a portable tablet stand arriving tomorrow which should fix that problem...
Will let you know how it works out...
Ok got my Tablet portable stand from Amazon today, very sturdy and works great, has lots of different angle settings to fit your needs.. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CKVOOY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
It also will hold the tablet regardless of what case you use to house it..
As you can see I have the heavy duty Beetle case and it fits perfectly....
Stand opened and ready for use.
Tablet resting on the stand with front and back views.
On stand along with the Samsung Bluetooth keyboard...
If you want a stand that will fit in your bag or pocket for quick use this is the one you want.
Using a case or going naked?
So I was wondering if anyone else prefers to use their Honor 8 without a case. I usually have at least a case if not a screen protector as well, on my primary device. I really like the feel of the Honor 8 without a case so I've been using it like that. What about you: case, screen protector, both or none?
I just got my Honor 8 on Monday evening, so I haven't received the case and screen protector that I ordered yesterday. However, I found an Honor 8 TPU case at Best Buy that I picked up until the better one arrives.
I would prefer not to have to use a case, but with a glass phone I'm always leery about dropping and cracking it. With a lot of my older phones, I wasn't nearly as concerned. If you drop a plastic or metal phone, you probably won't shatter the entire thing.
I wish LifeProof would make a case for the Honor 8. Then I could at least have a fairly heavy duty case but still be able to see (most) of the beauty of the phone.
use a clear case for protection, its slippery and you dont want to drop it and smash the glass
If you can afford buying another one don't use anything.....what i did when i got mine was applying the tempered glass and case before even opening the phone
Actually, I'm using both. Found a chinese TGSP in amazon and a orzly clear case. If it weren't for those my phone probably would be shattered after the last fews falls it has had :S
I go naked indoors and cover up outdoors. I do the same with the phone.
I put mine into a leather wallet type case.
I love the phone and how it looks but I thought I was gonna break it, it looks so breakable so for me and my life I had to give it full protection.
It might not look nice during daytime hours but at least i know it's still like new inside !

I don't like cases, makes the phone too thick. But I put on a skin, so now it is not slippery anymore.

Im using mine honor 8 in daily use with tempered glass on the front and in the back from Nillkin.
And, if i need use the phone in work I'm using armored case
Normally I do both but this AWESOME phone is only $300, so I don't really care to get a screen protector.
Buying a ferrari and covering it with ugly cloth.
I'm using it with full body clear film.
Guys this thing is beautiful.
Let it shine.
I have tempered glass on front and back.
Always a case.

I got a nillkin front too. If I am working at the office I left my case in the car. If I go outside often I use honor flip case, spigen or one from ipaky.
Btw how does the the tempered glass nillkin on the back look?

Ther's no different between when the back its covered by the glass but it's more safety from the scratches because back cover is full covered by the glass
Using the official flip case here. Works great.
Matte screen protectors on both sides = much less slippery.
Transparant silicon case to make it less slippery
I use the View Cover, but just until I get curved tempered glass for front and back in the mail - I hate using a case, but with that slippery back I can't trust it not to slip of sandpaper on a level table.
I don`t use screen protector but I use the blue pc case on blue honor 8 it is very thin (It almost protects nothing but at least it covers the glass back) phone still looks shinny.
Hi, I can only really find the book style leather cases for my p30 Pro, i really like the front flip ones, does anyone know of any good ones?
Thanks
James
Yet to see a front flip for the P30 Pro, have a look on Aliexpress. If you can't find it on there then it probably doesn't exist. Front flip cases have been in decline for a few years now.
Make sure to have a screen protector on when using a flip case. My friend bought one from china (cheap type), and now his phone has quite a few light scratches on the screen due to dust and dirt being stuck in the inner part of the flip cover rubbing against the phone screen. Recommendation level , 0/10
Hello Everyone! I have recently purchased a galaxy note 10 lite.. apart than the selfie camera I am liking it very much. But recently I found some micro scratch on my screen .. as in I am not using any protector but do use very carefully. Should I get a screen protector or flip case will be fine? And does flip cover gives scratches? Thanks
Hi, as a late reply: My personal view on these screen protectors: What do you all have in mind, that you think you need plastic foils, which should then be better than the Gorilla Glass our Notes have? I owned every Note, never had any protector and really love gorilla
That is also my answer to the flip cases: If you like flip, it is great. You will never have any scratches (gorilla!), and I myself like it very much to open and close my phone just by flip open/close.
The one from the 10LITE is also covering the edges, so a good covering against falling down. And that is what you should really fear: Dropping the phone on a hard surface! No screen protector helps here, just "bumpers", especially on the edges. Here I like flip cases, too: They add extra layer for protecting the screen - real layers, not 0,1mm.
