Actually will boil down to whether u want TouchID or FaceID, as for me that is the major difference between those 2

Definitely iPhone x if budget is not an issue, somewhat it's Apple's flagship phone this year....between 8 and x is a no brainer..however if u r contemplating between an x or 8plus then yes u have a few things to compare...

Back protector is normal one. Rm10. This is prevent scratch from tiny little things that came such as dust. As when we use casing, there will be are dust trapped between casing and phone itself.

Lens glass protector, baseus. Rm29 (got 2 protector)

I just go round any shop at lowyat.

If clear coat, gonna be perfect however cant use hard shell case. More suitable like tpu or rubber material such as rugged armor. This one for me worth the money. But then it depends on the casing too.

Last time i use lifeproof ip6 and below for free of mind.

So for me 3 option:

1. Fully covered with front tempered glass + back protector + lens protector and hard shell case
2. Fully covered with front tempered glass + clear coat + lens and tpu material case
3. Protective case such as lifeproof (the last option however now iphone already had water resistant. Might not go to this l anymore)

You can get it from Lazada or Shopee. Baseus got sell in pair - both front and back. Just make sure u choose the clear/transparent type if u want to showoff the back.

Yes as i mentioned earlier, i just went for courtesy visit lowyat to those wholesale accessories shop. big big shop or standard shop hard to find.

it depends on which TG are you going to get, full coverage 3D or 2.5D slightly smaller coverage... most of the time it fits into normal TPU plastic case... best u bring it to the shop and let them have a look before proceeding..
good choice bro...  finally you've made up your mind.. hehe

Welcome to the x fam....nice wallpaper..what casing tho? Looks thin and neat
