It looks like Asus Zenfone 3 ZE552KL is 5 .5 inch (not 5.2). Also, the ZC551KL with the slower chip has Gorilla Glass 3 as opposed to 4 for the 552KL (which is glass and aluminium as opposed to only aluminium for the former). Too many combinations as you say. Asus ZenFone 3 Laser ZC551KL vs...

This seems to be a nice case, as some people say they like the Terrapins. It does not seem to be available in the US. Possible Amazon Canada, but not sure they ship to US (where I would use a reshipper to send to Japan). Oh wait, I think one of the reshipper gives you a Canadian address...

I am new to the Zenfone, but one thing I have noticed is there have been what look to be identical cases (flip cases) for past models. I am considering the Zenfone 3, but am wondering if official flip cases are made by other companies who market under their own name, such as seen in this...

I posted a different thread asking in general about cases and screen protectors, but so far no responses. Well, I asked Speck Customer Service if I can use the case with the RhinoShield or other screen protectors, they did not give a clear answer. "Thanks for contacting Speck! We design our...

I have just ordered a 6P and have never had a smartphone before. Only an old Japanese 2G/3G phone with badly scratched screen (may not be glass, but it was in my pocket all the time and I hear keys and coins are not an issue but dust is for glass). The phone will arrive here in Japan from the...
