https://www.amazon.com/Spigen%C2%AE-Magnetic-Holder-Neodymium-Galaxy/dp/B0109JIQ0W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1465996095&sr=8-1

This is what I use. It has a magnet that clips onto an air vent and a steel plate that attaches to your phone to stick to the magnet. The plate is probably intended to go under a case but will fit under the normal backplate of the ZF2 if you don't use one. This might break NFC functionality if you care about that, haven't tried it. Has worked pretty well for me. There's a bigger version with a stronger magnet but it doesn't really seem necessary even for a big phone like this.

It resolved when I changed it to 2g/3g cellular network. But, I really didn't like the non-removable battery. Yes, the Zenfone 2 Laser (ZE551KL) has been amazing so far, and it includeds a 3000 mah removable battery and great battery life. I feel like the Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) was kind of a mistake for ASUS.

This is what I have now, same price and better hardware IMO (compared to Zenfone 2 2gb, ZE551ML).

I use the Slim Armor/Moko case. It protects the phone well and looks very stylish.

Got it in the Navy Blue color (or as Amazon likes to call it, "indigo"). It looks way better in real life than it does in photos.

The Lightning Knight (LK) Tempered Glass protector was previously on my ZE551ML. It covers from the top Edge (and side edges) down to right below the hardware capacitive buttons.

I'm going to explicitly recommend this as the display of my phone survived an impact without so much as a small fracture while using this screen protector.

Here's what the screen protector looked like post impact: https://i.imgur.com/Kv3tEzc.jpg

The only thing I would note is that this screen protector was a finger-print magnet, and I had to wipe it down quite regularly.

u/himynameisjay · -1 pointsr/zenfone2

Just curious, what about that particular design do you like?

Remember that with a 5.5" phone a case like that adds a good deal of bulk.

I had/have this case from Amazon which I think offers plenty of protection (including a raised bezel for screen protection) with a little less bulk. Of course you lose the kickstand and the back is a little less "grippy" but I actually prefer that as it's easier to slide it into my pockets.

I may actually be giving that case away soon as I no longer have the Laser. It was only used for 2 days. If I do I'll make a thread about it later.

I can wholeheartedly agree with you on your comparison of ASUS product ranges. I own an ASUS monitor (VE247H, or some variant letter, it's weird) and I've never had any problems with it, and am still using it right now. Fantastic monitor delivering awesome performance for the price I got it at, with amazing colours, brightness and overall production (especially compared to using a CRT for 10+ years).

As I did mention before, personally I don't mind not having updates, albeit perhaps I'm missing out on something, but I 100% agree with you in that what ASUS is doing (ignoring customers and not providing dates/more info) is totally wrong, rude and definitely inexcusable. I don't see why they can't just provide a simple update notice, as you mentioned.

Dunno what my next phone will be, but something with physical hardware buttons... or at least pseudo. Most likely not another ASUS. Can't even think about getting another new phone since I'm sure this one will last me a while.

I've had good experience using a set of Bluetooth headphones - this pair, in fact - and they're good for casual listening.

I occasionally need to tie my phone into our theatre sound system, via a DI from my headphone jack. I'd heard stories about the fragility of the one in the ze551ml, so i limit it's use by going Bluetooth when I can.

u/Herculefreezystar · 1 pointr/zenfone2

I have one of these. It has held up well and is nice for a light rubber case. I must admit though that the back is dark grey not light grey like the picture shows. That is the only difference though.

u/wolfofthenightt · 2 pointsr/zenfone2

I've got the same case, I like it because I'm able to show off the cool looking deluxe cover. [Link] (https://smile.amazon.com/ASUS-ZenFone-5-5-Inch-Case/dp/B00XNSIYTU?sa-no-redirect=1)

u/Hastadin · 1 pointr/zenfone2

define "the best".

i wanted a case with a good grip, so i got this one:

u/kirkum2020 · 2 pointsr/zenfone2

This one clips into the air vent and is wide enough for a ZF2 with the chunkiest case possible.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00R0JJ708/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_ppeyxb4Z3RSBH

I'm sure you'll find similar wherever you are.

u/bigtony2tone · 1 pointr/zenfone2

I use this case, which is clear and quite thin. Some protection without losing the phone's look and feel. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XNSIYTU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00

I've had more than a few drops, both onto the screen-side, back, and corners. No issue whatsoever. Though I do rock tempered glass.

u/Sapharodon · 2 pointsr/zenfone2

First one that comes to mind (that IIRC just got released) is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3. Though I'm not a fan of MIUI (rather, it's slow and dubious update history), it'll be similarly sized and well priced in typical Xiaomi fashion.


Though it's not a "future" release, Blu just released their Life One X (2016) for a staggering $150. Despite the price, it has a 1080p 5.2" screen, 13mp camera, is on 5.1.1 and is confirmed to get Marshmallow in early 2016. It'll probably have significantly better band support in the US than Xiaomi's offerings - hell, it even has Band 12 support. That said, I don't know if it has NFC support or not.

Edit: Apparently Alcatel was planning a One Touch Idol 3X (with an AMOLED display and a more "premium" feel than the Idol 3), but it was cancelled. What a shame, I bet it would have been a marvelous phone for the price.

You problably just need to replace this piece:
https://www.amazon.com/Zenfone-Socket-Reader-Cable-Ribbon/dp/B01GDK8K8E

It contains the SIM reader, and the flat, that connects the bottom board, to the main one.

u/techbeast34 · 1 pointr/zenfone2

You might need more power to drive the USB DAC. Try using one of these USB OTG Cables: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00JCZ2FQQ/

Might be a little late, but this is indeed a thing.

u/catnipnipple · 1 pointr/zenfone2

So I needed a phone immediately. After reviewing every phone in the $200 price range, the zenfone 2 and zenfone 2 laser are the only devices that have such high specifications for the price. Then I had to decide between the zenfone 2 deluxe and the laser. There are quite a few differences, but the one that stuck out to me was the dimness of the new display in the laser. If you look at some youtube videos, it is incredibly dim. Price was the other issue, as the normal zenfone is $40 less, about 16% cheaper.

The price, screen, and processor change were enough for me. If you can't wait until August or September and need a phone now, I would pass on the laser. Here is the one I just bought yesterday:

This is the one I use:

I have dropped my phone from chest height multiple times, many times into puddles of water. One time I thought for sure it was going to be the end of my miserable experience with this phone. Nope. Don't know if it is the phone or the case, but it can take a beating as a pair.
