Full Body Skins for i9000[Best Skins Ever]

finally! a cheap(er) full body skin NOT from zagg.
i bought a few of these for my iphone 3g and htc hero and they're great quality.
i9000 full body skin for $6.99
buy 3 or more skins for free shipping...
you can buy 3 of these and it'll still be cheaper than buying 1 zagg skin... lol
wahooooooooooooooooo!

Hmm interesting, I was going to order a Zagg shield for my new toy on payday but have been put off slightly by the (frankly ridiculous) cost of it. Are these ones any good? Do they cover the entire body of the phone and do they come with any fitting help such as applicators or anything special?

from the diagram of the skin on the site, it looks like it actually has more coverage than the zagg shields, due to the additional extra side pieces (covers the chrome coloured edges). i haven't actually received mine yet, so i can't confirm this.
but from the htc hero/iphone 3g ones i've ordered before, it's the water+detergent method instead of the 'special' spray(that seems to cost as much as gold) you get with zagg.
BSE is very popular on red flag deals (THE canadian bargain hunter site), and you can read about other people's experiences.
something krappy that does happen is that it will yellow a bit (oxidation? sun exposure?), but i only noticed on my iphone 3g because of the white back (can't tell on my black hero). i think the yellowing is just what happens to plastic over time (think of
it however doesn't come in the fancy package that zagg does, but it comes in an envelope, and is advised that you to tell ppl(aka wife/gf/etc) that the envelope with best skins ever is not PORN
hopefully my BSE skin will arrive soon, I kind of regret buying my zagg skin now...
ps. you can prolly find coupon codes for BSE for like %15 off, just look online.
pss. haha, i don't work for BSE, i just hate watching ppl waste money on over priced items.
oooh, gadget shield has it too... $7 free shipping...

Thanks for the info, I ordered 2 to try one out and see what its like. Will report back when it arrives.
Thanks again

I got a skin from http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/samsun...protectors-cases-skins-invisible-shields.html and I like it way better than the Zagg thing as it's less rubbery feeling.

Try this.

While not *entirely* full body, gelaskins are still the coolest around. The material used is of superb quality, I got one for my iPod a few years ago, and both the iPod and the skin still look brand new.

ohh sexy skins ^^

bought 1 of these for my iphone 3g, and storm1. it looks and feels nice when you hold the phone, giving kind of grip to my palm. but it didn't last long before it starts becoming orange/brownish color and peeling off (last only max 2-3 months after first installed). so i decided not to waste more for my sgs. am looking for something like incipio feather lite.

Ghost Armor, Bodyguardz or Skinomi

Did anyone try these wet screen protectors on Sensation? I'm thinking about putting either Ghost armor, Bodyguardz or Skinomi screen protector. None of the the dry protectors stick to the corners. I would like to know which one is the best and which one has less orange peel.
Edit: and no, I don't think this belongs in the found best screen protector thread.

I use PhantomSkinz. Pretty good. Check the phantomskinz thread.

Just had a look at the thread. I'm liking it..........

Phantom Skinz.....I'm using it now and its the best one I've tried. And I tried Skinomi...don't even bother with that one!

They are all pretty much the same so I would go with the lowest price. If your getting the screen only then that is Phantom skinz, if you want full body that is Skinomi. Make sure you search for the coupon codes for a discount because they all have one. I got the full body from Skinomi for $15 and it is great.

Bodyguardz sucks, im gonna give phamtom a try

For screen protectors, go phantomskins. I have skinomi on my viewsonic gtablet because I it was practically free. It's ok for free almost free lol. No experience with bodyguardz so I cannot say.
On my N1 I have the bestskinsever one. Great sp IMO. Currently on my Sensation, I have the OEM HTC brand ones and work and look fine. I had issues aligning it, but that's because the OEM one has really no margin for error!
Good luck and post pics of what you get.

Ghost armor was 20 bucks installed and if something happens they replace it for free. Crystal clear I must say. Bring Ur own micro fiber cloth to wrap Ur phone for a few days while it dries. They will try to sell u a pouch for $10. If u want to do it itself and put it on u could save another $5 but Prefer to spend the money and if it doesn't look right the guy has to redo it for free.

I just got the Skinomi and so far I am impressed. There were 3 bubbles on it the morning after I applied it, but just like they said on their website, two have already disappeared and the third one is barely visible. I tried the non-liquid as well and they don't work.
If I get discoloration or any other problems I will try the Phantom Skinz next. I only did screen, not full body, if that matters.

GadgetShieldz
I've tried several. Skinomi, Zagg, and a few others. With most of the others, zagg especially, there was an orange peel texture to the screen/body cover. It wasn't too bad, and it protected the screen and body of the device very well. iv'e used these types of skins on several different devices (phones, tablets, netbook screen). All of them cost about the same, roughly $15 ish, for the screen alone and the protection is really very good. For about $25 - $30 you can buy full body protection. Now here's the kicker....
I saw a post on here a while back about one called Gadget Shieldz, so I checked into it. I found that it only cost like $6.95 for FULL BODY coverage. So I decided to give it a shot. I placed my order.
They come from India so shipping takes like 2 weeks. When it finally arrived, I was waiting for a back cover replacement from HTC so I chose to apply to the screen only at first.
Application was the type that is fairly common. You get a small pan of water, with some soap added (baby shampoo is best about 3-4 drops) and run it a bit sudsy. Dip your fingers in the solution to ensure they're pretty wet, and peel the protector off its sheet. your fingers need to stay wet to avoid prints. Dip the protector in the solution and then apply to the phone. this allows you to slide it around easily to get it where you want it, then simply squeegee the excess solution to an edge where you have a paper towel waiting to absorb the excess. With the curve of the glass on the sensation, the plastic card feeling protectors would never lay just right, but this shield did.
The screen protector went on extremely well, has no orange peel texture. it's perfectly smooth, and looks great on there. When I got my other battery cover, I chose the one I wanted to use and applied the rest of the gadget shieldz to it. Let me say this... The precision of the cutting that they did for the skin was remarkable. They are perfect. The installation of the body shieldz is not for the squeamish. It requires crazy amounts of patience because of the curves and you have to hold the skin in place for a while. If you take your time to be extra careful, you will love the results.
The only thing I don't see is a warranty. Zagg is a lifetime warranty even if you screw up the installation where you only have to pay for shipping. With this one I can't find any information on warranty, but for $7 it's really worth it.

Zagg invisibleshield now available!

It's I found it on their website
It's only the regular, non-hd protector.
NOTE: The N4 is the E960 right?
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/lg-nexus-4-e960-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php

Zagg sucks major ballsack and is nowhere near invisible. And the "free" life time warranty will cost you $6 each time. So I'm going with BSE for sure.

Just informing everyone!

Honestly idk why they bother with the regular invisible shields. They should just stick with HD ones!

While I agree I don't like Zagg, some people do so thanks for letting us know!

Zagg sucks! "True Story."

Tempered Glass protectors?

Any recommendations?
Looking to grab a glass protector from aliexpress but since the phone is relatively new, not sure of anyone's experience there. Previously got one for my S4 there and it was perfect.
Please report/merge if a similar thread already exists! TIA!

I first tried ZAGG glass but then I ended up using Galaxy S5 Screen Protector GLAS.tR SLIM Privacy. Both were pretty impressive to me. ZAGG has lifetime warranty for spigen I think you only get 90 days both cost the same $39.99 and ZAGG Glass is $34.99 on the website

Yep, aware of the bigger and more common brands. They are also usually more than 5 times the price of an equivalent one from China though!
Wondering if anyone had experience with the glass protectors from the Asian market?
I have used iLoome and Spigen products before and they do not impress me for the price I pay relative to alternatives at that point in time.

Well there's a saying you get what you pay for...pay for something cheap its obviously going to be cheap...if you pay for something that's pricey then most of the time the quality is great but here's some links hopefully it helps!

i have different view on this matter. i'd recommend you to use asian brands because they are economical, yet good quality.
i'm using niilkin tempered glass, it's korean brand, it cost me just 14$ but i'm so satisfied with it, it fits perfectly with s5, finger-print resistance, real glass and super responsive. it's what you see is what you get.
hope it helps you

I ordered this one from DX :

When it arrives I can answer the question.
But it will take at least one more week I guess.

Great glass
I am using the Lunnitt 9H (purchased from Amazon), love it and can't say a thing bad about the protector.

Thanks for the suggestion all!
And if you really think that protector you get for paying the overpriced $30+ is any better than the $5 one... The marketing got you good...

I use baseus, got it for about 15$.
I have it for about a month and a half now and it's still fingerprint resistant, very easy to clean, no scratches, and it's glass so it feels good to touch, i can't stand the plastic films.
I don't intend on finding out about shatter resistance though :laugh:

Got the tech armor one, pretty good and very easy to put on, it was for $15 at amazon

got the glass m

0.2MM thick and feels like the original glass

I got the Hero Glass from Amazon. $15 Awesome! Sorry, can't post a link yet.

Anybody pop off Otterbox defender screen protector and use a glass one? Ive been thinking of trying it but not sure if it will fit. I hate the defender case protector and love the clarity of the glass ones.

Using m-glass. On all devices. Very nice and shipping to Russia cheap. Feel like no protector.

16 dollar tempered glass! Major win guys

I am loving this tempered glass. Couldnt see paying 35+ for the spigen ones, so i went with this one for 16 bucks, free shipping with prime. Check out my review http://goo.gl/PgNdcZ
Get one for yourselves! Definitely an amazing, quality product.
Alright just thought id share this with you guys. Take it easy!

Have to agree. $15.99 on Amazon and a great product. Looks like its a $40 one with the packaging and quality.

Bought mine for 6$ on ebay. I was warned not to buy those because there may be quality, clearness, responsiveness issues. I can tell you that those people couldn't be more wrong. My 6$ glass screen protector cannot be more identical to a spigen glass tr, which i decided to boycott that company after their horrible customer service last year with the note 3. My 6$ screen protector is as clear, as fingerprint repellant, as easy to clean and has no scratches after 3 months. This opened my eyes on how we quickly throw our money at big companies because "we think" their products are of higher caliber. Couldn't be more wrong. BTW, here is the link to the item for anybody interested http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Samsung-Gala...ll_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item58af32c337&_uhb=1
It came in a box similar to the one shown in the video, it came with an alcohol pad and microfiber for cleaning. the only thing it didnt come with is the premium price tag. It's free shipping no matter if you have prime or not

Got mine for about $7 off eBay 6 weeks ago and so far matches up to any expensive branded protector, and that's why I don't automatically assume more expensive protectors are better just because I hear good reviews from people who have never tried the cheap stuff.

I always get a Nillkin when possible. Best tempered glass I've ever used and they are priced very reasonable.
