QUOTE(Volfeed @ Oct 14 2014, 04:50 PM) Agreed, too fitting until I cannot put in back case because I installed the front SP a bit offset from the screen. Installing the back case would cause the front SP to peel off. Aiyoh..  i had to reapply a few times to get it just right but even then its still not perfect.

In my experience tempered glass are more forgiving to re-application compare to plastic screen protectors. plastic screen protectors you need to be very very gentle not to make it even a little bit out of shape. Once out of it flat shape the plastic screen protector will have bubble already. Even when done with a tape will still have 50% chance of that happening. Tempered glass problem is that you cant use tape to redo it because it attach really really well to the glass. So i uses something with a very sharp point and gently lift it up. Just need to make sure you dont chip. Then gently lift it up to avoid cracks because tempered glass can also be quite fragile if you apply bending forces to it. They are only strong against compression force. This post has been edited by WhitE LighteR: Oct 15 2014, 10:46 AM

Btw guys, I plug my newly acquired audio technica m50x headphones in the z3 and it seems that i would need to get a portable amp. Although the m50x is suppose to be easy to drive, i feel the z3 like doesnt have enough power to drive this headphone to the level i wanted. When i plug it into my PC the volume is louder but of course more terrible quality sound due to crappy on board audio.

They are only strong against compression force. I have some small bubbles on my Glass Sp on my S4. It wasn't there when installed. Could be due the the phone getting hot and cold and thus the small bubles starting to appear. What do you think could be the solution to this?

QUOTE(tany @ Oct 15 2014, 12:27 PM) Waterproof so cannot compare Im comparing the headphone output, that's the discussion earlier right? Correct me if I'm wrong. On a side note, z3 external speaker is amazing. Comparing to the m8 it lacks the bass and fullness but i thought I liked the clarity and highs a lil bit more than the m8. N ITS WATERPROOF!!!!

I believe the reason is the thickness. no speakers can perform given a 6.9mm chasis. Give and take lor.
