Hi everyone!
I'm still waiting on AT&T to reveal something about the Z10 and hopefully this will happen soon. In the meantime, the delay has given me a bit of time to contemplate the type of case and/or protection for my future Z10.
I don't want to take any chances with my (future) Z10. I've found both the Transform Shell and Flip Shell very attractive but I'm a bit skeptical about the different kinds of protection they offer. What I really like about the Flip Shell is that it covers the screen while the device isn't in in use and dims the screen to save battery life. The only drawback, though, is that the device's screen is left uncovered while in use and while charging. I have a Convertible Case for my Playbook and so far leaving the screen uncovered while in use hasn't been a problem, but the Z10 would get much more use in various situations than my PB.
As for the Transform Shell, I like the overall look of the case. I believe the case itself comes with screen protectors, which is somewhat of a bonus (depending on the quality of the covers). So I have a few questions for current Z10 owners and would really appreciate the feedback!
How durable is the Z10's screen? Is it pretty scratch resistant? And what about the bezels? Are they also pretty scratch resistant (like paint chipping? My Torch had this problem)?
For those who have the Transform Shell, how do you like it? Do you use the provided screen protectors? Do they hinder the touch functionality or experience?
For those that have the Flip Shell, how do you like it? Do you find it a bit cumbersome to use the device with the case open? Do you have any kind of protection over the screen to prevent damage while in use?
Thank you so much for your help! I figured I may as well ask while I have the time! I truly appreciate your feedback!
