ok thanks but actually i like this design more though.
Does look appealing in some sense especially certain colors which are not available for other "brands". But if you read abt the feedback given by some here, esp the part whereby the sliding frame will drop off upon impact, it says alot about the design of this bumper. Im sure most will prefer a bumper that looks good but most importantly function well.
wah piang..
so many diff kinda bumpers..
confusing sia.
which should i get? can recommend?
Ok i may be wrong but based on the current available bumpers for GN, actually only two broad differences if we dont compare price.
MIC, Sliding frame mount aka Bummers :
SZLF, LF G.Lider (korean branded), "Fake" Sweet Armor Note and LT
I only tried Glider once, i took it off immediately after mounting and taking pictures. I think that says something about the design factor. Basically when sliding the frame in, u get a sense that it will scratch the screen and even though it had cushion lining, i wasnt confident that it will not scratch the bezel, which did occur to some SZLF users. The audio jack cut out also had alotta issue, many earphone jack cant fit including stock. Some had to contemplate whether to file the hole bigger or buy extension cord etc. SZLF and Glider basically the same. Sweet Armor Note, well u can find the post of the horrid review of the flying frame. LT uses the SG2 bumper design which doesnt allow back cover access which may not be a problem for those who dont change batt OTG.
Korean branded (made(?)/ Screw mounted :
Don Star, Mobicrab and Sweet Armor G.Note
I can only say that the Sweet Armor G.Note is a well design bumper that may not appeal to some aesthetically, but most importantly function well. The main diff is that it has the protruding button caps for Power button, and Volume rocker. Some may prefer just a cut out for these button, but from using Glider, i find it a hassle as its harder to activate the buttons. In case anyone's wondering, the protruding button cap does not wake the phone accidentally when in pocket, how u wake the phone when u take out your phone is another story.
Interestingly, although Sweet Armor G.Note add some width to your device, it actually made it easier for single hand operation (somehow that doesnt sound right
) with the groove at the back of the phone. My initial impression of not seeing the need to use Bunker Ring stays. Just read the XDA review of this bumper, it helped me alot before i click the "pay" button.
As for Don Star and Mobicrab, they're relatively new and cant find any review thus far but "no button cap" does not work for me, advantage of these two vs Sweet Armor G.Note could be they use less screw, Alan key type for one of them iirc whereas Sweet Armor uses philip.
