first: the material and the fit are super. The feel is suffering.
The design foils are made of fine vinyl film that and it is very elastic and tear-resistant "relatively thick".
The material is similar on account of its structure tarpaulin. In the structure of the smallest holes are allegedly admitted to express air bubbles when Aufbrigen can.
1. Delivery:
The film was delivered in a very nice package as compact letter. Your Design GmbH sent in its own corporate design envelope in a beautiful blue / turquoise / aqua. The film itself is based on a carrier board. This carrier board is again packed in a beautiful cardboard cover for sales displays with hanging loop. Here we find the concise instructions: pulling, snapping, pressing.
2. The film
As already written above is the material to vinyl film with air-permeable structure. The adhesive side is white. The Design / Motif is smooth (film). But you can very well see the structure behind it. The film has the necessary cutouts for the rear camera lens and light. On the front of the display is recessed. The production was carried out well with laser. One can imagine it probably the most. Printing of vinyl with the motive, then "lamination" with the smooth slide. And finally, laser cutting for cut-outs and Dimensions.
3. Installation
The application of the film is easier than, for example display foil. On one hand, the material of the design is thicker skins, on the other hand helps the resilient vinyl edges and recesses to make better. In a pinch, you can see the film also briefly again deduct for reorienting. The Z1 Compact help here at the back, at least thanks to the ring around the lens.
I have not taken it to 100%, but test photos were flawless: No shadow and light camera also has free rein.
4. The optics
I had chosen the black film, because I only wanted to have a discreet protection -especially for scratch-prone plastic back of the Z1 Compact.
Since the foil on the adhesive side is white, the design skin alone is thus not "invisible". You can see the contrast between black design / motif and the adhesive side. In addition, I have the Z1 Compact in black. That is, if you choose a bright subject, then this problem should not be visible.
5. Function / haptics
Z1 Compact remains fully functional, the film does not affect the sensors, the camera and the photo light remain free, the listener, the front camera and the message lamp remain free. Since the vinyl film is slightly thicker (0.1mm estimated VLT), you can feel the edges of the film clearly in hand.
On the back of the film is perfect. Bothers you not here.
On the front I look at this now for a few days and decide whether I it let the skin or pick up again: I have the impression that here on the inside edges (ie at the edge of the visible screen area) collects and hanging dust remains , And here I have again the contrast between white adhesive side and Design / Motif page,
A note here: On the front side is stamped only with the Laser Design foil. This style sheet will not protect the screen from scratches or fingerprints.
The front and rear sheet is thin genig that the Z1 Compact still fits in the standard shell of the charging station DK32.
6. What I have not tried it yet
I do not know how this film design behaves on screen protector. But should really stick well Drava.
