Maybe he wants to use the screen protector during the normal use and when he wants to do some outdoor stuff like hiking or something like that, he wants to use the case? :)

At least that's what I'm going to do. And everytime I use the case, I wouldn't want to peel off the screen protector.

Agreed. It turns out I don't really like this type of case (have the Orzly on order) and 2 others already that are Orzly-type cases. And to add my own little review, I really don't like it. Because it's all see through, it's very shiny and makes the watch look terrible. So at my job or at home, I probably won't wear it, but while in transit I'll probably slip it on (or while working out).

Thank you for alerting me to this @Neo1975 and @Biggs91276! I just bought one on eBay, much cheaper than Orzly's website. I just ordered another clear snap-on case and ArmorSuit screen protector from Amazon, but immediately canceled it, as this is cheaper than both, and removable on the spot.

I'm thinking about having my armorsuit and orzly on at the same time as well. How do you think touch responsiveness will be with both on?

Instead of ordering this case I decided to go with smoke gray ultra thin snap on case from monoy. Since they are on Amazon and I have Amazon prime, I wanted something right away instead of waiting for it to ship from overseas to US.

So far love the case, looks great on space gray, force touch works great and snap on nicely. It's great for $7.99 and you can hardly even tell its on there, which is exactly what I wanted. That's why I went with smoke gray color.

I had armor suit shield, took it off and using this now since that shield was getting bubbles.

Highly recommend anyone who is looking at orzly, to look at this as well since its prime and ships right away from Amazon. Just look up monoy ultra thin snap on case.

Wow looks really nice! I actually did order the orzly case but don't know when its coming. I might just order this one as I have prime as well and itll be here a lot sooner. I was considering installing the armorsuit full body on just the back not sides do you think the case will still fit?

I ordered the Orzly also, but the Monoy looks good. I have the Stainless steel. For that would you order the grey or the clear. I assume the grey works great with space grey and clear works better with Stainless Steel?

Ugh, had I known about the Monoy on Amazon with Prime shipping, I wouldn't have ordered from a UK seller on eBay. Ordered it anyway, at least I'll have a spare when it the Orzly one eventually arrives up to 3 weeks later.

Mine arrived today and I really quite like it, so thanks OP.

However, I did notice that after a heavy session mowing the lawn in the afternoon sun, it steamed up around the edges:

Does this mean that the case is actually just a case with a separate screen protector that comes with it, or is this actually an all-in-one case which covers the sides and screen in one piece?
It does not come with a screen protector, it's a very thin case that covers the screen and sides.
Thanks Neo, that actually sounds like a much better way of doing it. A couple more questions if I may...

How hard/soft is the protective screen part of this one? (i.e: If the bit that covers the screen is as hard as the case, what's the Touch-Sensitivity like when using ForceTouch in your experience? / or alternatively, if it's soft, what level of protection will it give me in the sense of if it will just protect me against fingerprints but I should still be careful not to crack my AppleWatch's screen, or do you reckon it will withstand both types?)

I hope all that made sense, and you get what I am asking here. But it sounds like a good product so far, so I'm just curious to see what I can expect from it if I were to go for one myself. Obviously, there is only so much I can tell from the website, so there is no substitute for advice from people who have actually used it. Your help would indeed be greatly appreciated.

Oh yeah, you are right!
I would also be interested if this also happens when you workout? I assume it's because of the sweat?

Just ordered the smoke gray, definitely looks better on the space gray sport than the clear.

I have one of these cases.

Used it for a few days then took it off. Under certain light I could see a rainbow effect on the plastic used over the screen. Also it felt a tad loose and clicky when I pressed down on the screen sometimes.

Personally I don't want to compromise clarity so have been using watch naked instead.

Last night I installed the Monoy PC Hard Grey case and I couldn't be happier with it. I had the ArmorSuit MilitaryShield screen protector on before but I must have banged it on something and it had a small, white gash on it. I guess it did it's job but I wanted something different since it also developed a bubble on one of the corners. Next, I tried the Spigen Thin Fit, but I lost it.

To install the Monoy, I cleaned the watch face and the inside of the Monoy real well before I put it on and now you can't tell that it's on. The clarity of the face is great as well as the touch sensitivity. The only difference is that the sides of the watch are a tad more shiny than it was before.

The Monoy looks really good, I hope someone gets the clear version soon so we can see a comparison between that one and the smoke gray one.

originally i installed it on top of my armor suit, just to see if i liked it enough to keep it without taking off my suit. It fits just fine.

The whole case is the same material. A thin clear family rigid plastic.

Touch sensitivity is fine and Force Touch works fine.

I would say it will offer a good amount of screen protection against smashing, and very good against scratching.
