Hi, a while back, i found that stealth guards gave away free screen guards. I ordered one, and got it today. does anyone know what the 'solution' is that the website says to use?
I also saw somewhere that you don't need the solution, not sure on that though.
http://stealthguards.com/ there is there website, incase anyone was wondering.
anyone? please?
I bought similar protectors off of ebay. The solution I used was 1 drop regular dish soap, 1 tablespoon of 70% rubbing alcohol, mixed with 1/2 - 3/4 cup of tap water. Not sure if this is compatible with the ones you purchased, but it worked for me.
I just ordered one myself. Can't lose out for $2 shipping!
Skinomi uses water as there solution I believe. I have applied other products like this that require 1 drop dish soap in a quart of water then sprayed on the surface.
Thanks for the heads up on the deal!!!
I got mine an installed it, I installed the rear shield and the screen shield. The install was easy and looks great, almost like a regular screen feel. The back cover makes the battery cover glossy so its kind of neat, not really needed though.
I would urge people to be careful ordering from this company .... we ordered 2 units the beginning of the month (Sept) and have heard NOTHING from them about shipping or delays or anything ... you prolly want to avoid them .....
Cheers
ordered mine like 2 weeks ago, and mine arrive monday..havent installed it yet.. but for the price of shipping im not gonna complain..
I say just use water..

Seidio
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4025.htm
This is what I went with for mine:
Crystal Skin
Should be similar to the ones that were popular with the myTouch / Magic. The resin TPU ones.
And for screen protectors I will see if these are any good. Seems to be an invisible shield / BSE clone.
As long as they hold up until more accessories become available I'm fine.
I don't think the cases from fommy are good because some of the cases block the proximity sensor on the phone.
I've had the resin TPU one on my magic for quite some time, and its the best I have ever used. It doesnt add alot of weight to the phone, and lso one of the easiest to install.
I really hope somebody comes out with a carbon fiber case, that would be sweet.
I am getting the privacy screen protector from Fommy and I'll post back my findings on the sucker.
It'll be cool if moshi comes out w/ something. My friend has one for her iphone and it looks sweet! It is very stream-lined and doesn't make your phone any fatter. I typically hate cases. However, I think what moshi has looks pretty sweet.

That skin looks pretty cool. Care to share any pics of it installed onto your phone when you have a moment?
I know in the past people were saying that magnetic closures messed up the G1's compass over time. Is that turning out to be true? I would think the N1 and any other phone with a compass would suffer the same fate if that is the truth. I like having my compass..
I bought the Ferrari car charger from that site. I ain't get it yet but when I will, ill post a review.
never order from fommy! i had the worst experience with them. i ordered the screen protector and the clear case (both were pre-order).. and also another screen protector for my N97.. later realized they didnt have the cheapest deals.. wanted to cancel the order the same day i ordered them. called customer service, noone picked up. tried a hundred times.. emailed them as well to no avail. come monday, i get a confirmation email that one of the items was shipped. argh! finally after calling nonstop, a customer rep finally picked up. I can only be refunded for the two items that hasn't shipped yet.

Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with fommy. I on the other hand had no problem with the site. I had no problem calling them and asking them and speaking to a representative.
What about the battery they have...That doesnt look like the right battery! It says it fits 3-4 phones....Dosent look right...What do yall think?
Be very careful ordering from Fommy
Anyone with a few minutes should take a look at this forum thread. It is a long thread and I don't expect anyone to read it all. The bottom line is Fommy does not have much of a credibility when it comes to their salespeople.

I just put my order in!
Here
Are these the static cling type of screen protectors?
Nope, they are the peal and stick type. The plastic is a bit thicker so they are not as flimsy and are easy to apply. Best I have ever used. The one I put on my g1 is still on there.
their shipping charge is a JOKE!!

Wow... I bought my Phantom Skinz, which is a 2 pack for $5.97 shipped with their discount. In fairness though, I have used and really like the Seidio protector. You can wait, as they often have discount codes and free shipping... the product is worth the money though... it will last quite a while and has a great feel.
i got a quote of $9.23 USD i recall for shipping to canada so cost of the protector and shipping and US to CAD = close to $20.00
I can garantie if i ordered and recieved the item the postage paid on the package/envelope would be no more than $2.50

I ordered one over the weekend for 13.85 shipped. I'll be sure to review it once it comes in. Also, I can't stand wet-application screen protectors, so I'll see how this fares.
I can't take worrying about scratching my screen anymore so I finally took the plunge. I ordered the 2 pack for a whopping $20.67 shipped. I'll let everyone know how good they really are once I apply one to my screen.
umm, not to be mean. any reason why you need a screen protector when the screen itself on the nexus one is scratch resistance?
you just answered your question. It is scratch resistant not proof

Anyone know a code for seidio?
My order shipped today!
Your order has shipped. (Order#: XXXXXX placed on 1/16/2010)
i just got my 2 pack in the mail today and failed to apply both of them and got dust/lint stuck on the adhesive side. talked to seidos online customer service and they're sending me another 2 pack as a one time courtesy! hopefully i dont mess thsoe up.
The hardest part in installing the Seidio is getting every minute particle of dust off the screen first. I don't know about you guys, but this seems to me to be the biggest dust magnet of any phone I've ever had! I wipe it with microfiber, and within 2 seconds, there's more ultra fine dust on the screen.
Anyway, once you get it clean, hold the protector buy the little tab extension that they should have included on the backing strip... gently start peeling the backing paper off the opposing side and just expose one edge of the protector. Then start "rolling" it on as you slowly pull the backing paper off. Should come out perfect as long as it's cut properly.
By the way, how well IS this product cut? Is it short in width and/or height like the other screen protectors seem to be?
What you guys think??. The seller has great reviews, I thinking of buying need your thoughts before I do. I recently got swap my n1 so I was gonna buy 2 for 10.95 when I saw this:

I just purchase it too, couldn't resist when I saw the other price of 1.49 a few days ago..I hope it doesn't leave any marks on the screen when removed..
Why is there a notch in the upper left part of the screen protector?
that's where the light sensor is so I assume it's to avoid any interference with it.
Ahh, I wonder how it'll affect the look of it on your phone.
Yeah I purchased these from the seller when I got my Nexus One about a month or so ago. They fit perfectly and are pretty easy to apply. They're pretty clear and have held up great so far. I've only used one and it's still not showing many scratches or dings or anything in the protector itself , even under heavy use.
Honestly I feel it's the best $1.00 I've spent in a long time.

Thanks man now I feel confident with with my purchase.
Wow thanks for the link, and for 99c, id be willing to test it out as well.
LOL i just found $1 on my back pocket too!
I have some, they are perfect.
Just curious, are these 'reusable'. ie: peel it off, rinse it in the water, and put it back on? (kind of like the ones you get with invisible shield)
Just got the Zagg screen protector. It is cut around a 32nd of an inch too big for the screen and overlaps frame around the screen. Since the screen is recessed just a hair, a gap forms along the edges.
I installed one on my Vibrant (sold it for the G2) and it was perfect.
For those who say the protector wasn't centered correctly, it was and overlaps on both top and bottom and side to side.
Going to contact Zagg.
Anyone else with this problem?
Yep... just came upstairs from installing mine. A hair too big. It'll do until my PhantomSkinz protector arrives.
Zagg is sending me a replacement
Just got off the phone with Zagg. They're going to send me a replacement but the representative said this was the first time he's heard of this.

Just submitted my complaint via the online form, so I guess now they have at least two cases. Of course, I have a feeling you'll get another screen protector that's too big. Let us know if it fits better.
Mine did not fit either, I assumed that I did not properly apply it. SO I checked back and you are right, it is a bit too long. I will contact Zagg tonight to confirm that there is more than two users with this problem ;-)
Mines on the way hope it doesn't have that problem

Mine was just a fraction too big, but as it dried, it shrunk a little and now fits perfect.
And yes, I am talking about the Zagg screen protector despite how that sounds.
Edit: I guess there is the slightest bit in one corner that is not adhering because it is just a hair too big. It is perfectly positioned and no room to move it, so yeah, guess it does have a problem. As time goes by, it will be a bigger problem as dust and stuff gets in there.

Too big here too. I contacted them through the online form, so we'll see.

At least they follow through with warranties.
Same. I just got my Zagg today and just installed it. Too big!
I also just sent them an email to let them know about it. I told them to actually get a fix first before sending me a new Zagg shield.

I ordered the full cover as well today. I tracked the shipping with twitter and I believe they're back ordered.
Fix when I get replacement
As I mentioned in the first post, Zagg is sending me a replacement screen protector..the rep I talked to said it may be just a bad batch that is oversized.
They also originally charged me $3.99 for the replacement until I called back and complained that this wasn't a warranty replacement, it was a bad product replacement.
At any rate, if the new screen is too large, I'll probably just get a ruler and a box cutter and trim it myself. I'll compare the cutout to the screen and make the appropriate cuts. I did a test fit with the original cutout...it seemed too large but I thought the screen protector might be smaller to make it easier to peel off the backing.
All in all, Zagg products are still top notch!
When someone gets their full body coverage do you mind sharing how it feels in the hand over the soft-touch plastic?
Weird, I've never heard of Zagg. I live in Arizona, is it mainly an eastern thing or something? Since the G1 I've always used Ghost Armor, which is actually based in Az. I don't know how Zagg feels, but I highly recommend Ghost Armor. It actually feels pretty close to HTCs soft touch. Its almost like a soft clear rubber that's super thin yet very protective. I've heard the material was developed by the military and licensed by Ghost Armor.
Anyways I went and got a screen cover (they will install it all for you) the day my G2 came, but I'm waiting on them to get the kit for full armor which should be in Monday hopefully. The armor comes with a lifetime warrenty and they'll put a new cover on at anytime if you drop it a bunch and screw it up for free.

I ordered mine yesterday.... waiting on it.... hoping it fits...
I just filled out the online form and came here to see if anyone else was having the same problem. Too tall and a hair too wide that keeps it from laying flat in a couple of places. Good results previously from Zagg. Kind of like brando.hk protectors, but they didn't have anything yet for the G2.
I think it's too tall to ever shrink enough to fit.

The funny thing about what you described sounds just like invisible shield. The material is military grade and used by the military. Anyway, I lived in California for the past 7 years and used invisible shield on all my devices.

I guess you were lucky. When I contacted them they asked for photos and want me to measure screen and shield. I guess it depends on who reads your emails

Yea, let us know how it turns out when you get it. Hopefully they'll fix the size issue. I was thinking of purchasing one myself.
Yesterday I ordered a ZAGG skin, only to find out that they have been back-ordered. The CC said "quality issues", but I'm not sure what is really causing this (maybe the complaints about the screen cover size that we've seen here?)
Also, the BSE for G2 is now available! Requested them to make a skin last weekend, and got a reply that it is now official! As usual, they are offering a small discount.
http://www.bestskinsever.com/t-mobile-htc-g2-skin
Wow, for only $7 too. Way cheaper than Zagg's 25.
i ordered one last night around midnight and I got a delivery confirmation...so im guessing that means I'm gonna get one of the oversized ones? bummer
are the bse as good of quality as zagg?
i was going to order from zagg last night as well-- hopefully they back in stock soon so i can use my discount
in 4 1 thank you

i had BSE full-body on my G1 for a long time and it was awesome - kept the phone like brand new. eventually (like, after a year) it started getting a little grimy along the edges, but for like $7 i should have just bought another then. instead i took it off, the novelty of the G1 having faded.
anyway, i just placed my order for the full-body BSE. can't wait to have it so i can feel safer about throwing my G2 in my purse (along with scratchifying keys, pens, etc.). i refuse to pay the exorbitant zagg prices. i don't need a kit either. bse comes with clear instructions, so if you're careful and patient, it goes on perfectly.

Does the BSE full body catch a lot of lint? Lots of screenshots I've seen always show it with tons of lint and dust.

not really, no. just a little inevitably is going to stick along the edges where the skin is cut, but no lint or anything on the face of the phone with BSE. i think it's the same material as zagg, so presumably equivalent results. a little orange peel style dimpling as well, but also to be expected on these kinds of things.
that said, i've never actually used the zagg so i could be missing out!
