Guide & know-how
Full-glue tempered glass for the Galaxy XCover 5 at RPD: the XCover 5 (2021) is Samsung's compact rugged smartphone with Exynos 850, 5.3" compact LCD, IP68 and a user-replaceable battery — popular in trades, field service and everywhere one-handed use matters more than a big display. The full-surface-bonded 9H tempered glass (oleophobic coating) protects the display against tool scratches and drop splinters. Same-day dispatch from Basel for orders by 4 pm, free above CHF 15, payment on invoice (credit check by Powerpay), 14-day returns, 2-year Swiss warranty. A display repair on the XCover 5 typically runs CHF 130–250 — a full-glue glass from CHF 15 pays for itself on the first drop.
Full-glue tempered glass for Samsung's compact rugged smartphone (2021). The XCover 5 targets trades, logistics, security and field service — with a programmable PTT key (push-to-talk), IP68 and MIL-STD-810H tests, user-replaceable battery, a compact 5.3" form factor for one-handed glove use, and dual SIM. Shipped from Basel with 2-year Swiss warranty.
The 5.3" LCD ships with hardened glass, but in workshop and construction settings with metal swarf, mortar and sharp tools, extra protection pays off. Our full-glue tempered glass (9H hardness, full-surface bonding, oleophobic coating) prevents scratches, reduces splinter risk and isn't a dirt trap at the edges thanks to full-glue bonding. The IP68 certification is preserved — the tempered glass doesn't alter any chassis seal.
For trades and construction: full-glue tempered glass against mortar splatter and sharp tools. Logistics and warehouse: extra drop protection via third-party reinforced-corner cases — programmable PTT key assigned to walkie-talkie. Security and field service: compact form factor allows one-handed holster solutions plus rugged shoulder-strap case for site and workshop. Hospitality and service: easy-wipe surface thanks to oleophobic coating. Sustainable options: a long device life thanks to the user-replaceable battery is the most sustainable choice — tempered glass and repair instead of buying new.
An in-store display repair on the XCover 5 typically runs CHF 130–250, significantly cheaper than a refurbished replacement device (typically 30–50 %). Self-repair is possible with iFixit guides and matching tools.
The XCover 5 uses USB-C up to 15 W fast charging (battery health prioritised over speed). Qi wireless charging is NOT available on the XCover 5. MagSafe is Apple-only and not supported. Matching USB-C cables and power banks for field service are also available from us.
Tested 9H tempered glass with full-glue bonding — precise cut-outs for selfie camera, sensors and the narrow frame area. Functional rather than decorative.
