"- Slim profile bumper is only 2.5mm thick
- Allows for the device to be seen and not wrapped up in a bulky case
- Super-lightweight (weighs 12 grams, less than half an OUNCE!)"
From the looks of it, the bumper comes onto the screen by a couple mm, which is why it may look thicker than it actually is.

There go those nasty laws of physics getting in the way again. Unfortunately, it takes more than a mm of TPU to absorb/disperse the energy from a 20 foot drop (at which point the phone is traveling about 24 MPH). Serious impact protection doesn't come without a little bit of bulk. Ultra-thin cases provide little more than scratch protection.

Thank you, I guess some people don't get the point yet. But when their phone breaks they will come complain on the forum that their phone broke without doing anything wrong.

Lol clearly you didnt read the thread.
This has NOTHING to do with Tempered Glass.
It is a bumper case for the Z3C.
I ordered one.
Are there any pictures of the z3c bumper yet?
Don't want to order anything I haven't seen.

You can only get a reference by looking at the iPhone bumper, since the bumper for the Z3C isn't developed yet.

While this concept sounds awesome, I'm a little concerned as to how seriously Evolutivelabs is taking this..
- I emailed them over a week ago with some basic questions.. no response
- Publication of rendering and design was supposed to come out 14 days after start of campaign. That was supposed to be last week..
- This concept isn't being marketed anywhere, not even on their own website. You'll only get to the pre-order page through a direct link.
- The funding goal is 1400 units ($35000). The kickstarter campaign for the iPhone was 6000 Pounds. Why would they want a much higher number of preorders for the Z3 Compact?
I'll be preorder a bunch of these for myself and colleagues if Evolutivelabs shows that they're going to take this seriously.. Right now it doesn't look that way to me at all.

Of course they aren't serious! Look at how much effort they did to let people know about the bumper for our phone.
0 effort at all!
I was thinking about opting out of my pre order, but I'll leave it anyways even tho I knew from the start that 1400 pre orders is utter bullcrap for an item that isn't being advertised at all.

Was this canceled, or?
It was canceled because they didn't get enough orders(they didn't advertise their product at all).

I don't think they sell Dev backplates =/
That goes over the battery cover? or "is" the battery cover?
either way ebay seems to be the place to go for that kind of think, if it exists its on ebay
its the complete Backplate on ebay Germany (Where i from) i cant get any backplate
They don't sell the backs, and those that have them aren't too eager to sell them.
However, a user on the forums made some really cool laser etched backs with this design.

While that may be true... 200 or 220 dollars for a bumper a case....... I mean really? That's around 2/3 of what the phone costs.

Well they all get absolutely blown to shreds but for some reason there was less of the HTC One than other phones such as the GS4 which is made out of plastic, not sure why?
Edit: nevermind.
Haha! The HTC One split into half... The bullet turned into powder!
Yeah I know Dream on
Now this should be a lesson for HTC. The next flagship should be bullet proof as opposed to sony's water proof.
Now let's make some titanium metal casing for our phones

Yeah, how dare they improve upon the S6 drop test. Bastards
What glass does the note5 use anyway? I wasn't able to find it. Gorilla Glass 4?

Yes, gorilla glass 4 front and back.
The "glass" back feels like plastic to me. I don't get the point of glass if it feels like plastic.
Definitely feels like glass to me....
Yeah it does not feel like plastic at all, i have an LG G2 sitting right here and it has a plastic back and feels like it, the note5 is a solid glass back and feels much better.

As expected also that glass back looks cheap and not premium. But hey the Samsung sheep's will for sure find a way to defend even that lol.
1 year and 2 former flagships turned into absolute crap great job Samsung
What person would want a phone made of glass seems really dumb considering the average person drop there phone alot. They should have fun at samsung replacing phones this year. Most people won't use a case . You would think they would make phones more durable. My phone stay in Mint condition but most people i see don't baby there phones like i do and they look bad scratch city with no case from falls
The average person drops their phone a lot. That's funny... And probably not true.
Almost everyone I know uses no case, and their phone is fine. Why? Because they don't drop it a lot.
Now I do know 3 people under the age of 25 that all have cracked screens... Maybe it is an age thing?

Note 5 is iphone clone monopoly for increasing Samsung revenue for this quarter. seeing how they have to build hardware around software, we all know that sure as hell cant update the software after a new android sdk comes out.

The design isn't that bad actually. It is different, but I like it. The screen is really spacious and its a fast device. The stock ROM isn't half had either, but I don't like the bkoat carriers ship it with
Personally though, I'd wait. Right now I'd say it is the best device you can buy, but others are planned ftom other OEMs
