Yeah one of the best things added to a cell phone. Found some of my older cells and can hardly see the screen lol my girl has the moto defy (first phone "I" had messed with that has the gorilla glass) and she is hard on phones and hers still looks new..
Yup, it's on their website. It doesn't specifically list the G2x, but it does list the Optimus 2x, which is the same thing.
http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/lg
It used to be listed on the T-Mobile website under the phone's specs. Looks like they removed that part of the description.

that wouldn't mean they started using a different type of glass would it?

I guess samsung vibrant is compatible with galaxy s?
thanks op. I ordered one for the vibrant, but the picture shown is not a SGS Vibrant.
Ordered 2 sets for my SGS. Had to order for Vibrant because there were no shields for SGS. I guess I have to cut the hole for home button myself.

i9000m Vibrant has front facing camera for video conferencing
but the USA version of Vibrant SGH-T959 does not have video conferencing feature
by the way, the link is no longer working
Website is down. Somebody lock this thread or something since a website like that is rather dodgy (offer free, grab your details, then switch off?).
btw, is it anti-fingerprint or clear SP?

OK you need to full link as above.
Did some more researching. Doesn't seem like a scam.. but obviously at such a cheap price, they don't appear to be great quality either.
Have a read through the Singaporean reviews on the iPhone covers they received by the same deal.

I ordered "free" a full body skin week before last for my Milestone, figured I'd throw it in when I sold it. Came in Friday, the deal is legit, the quality is ok, cost me $2.50 to ship to Canada, worth that much at least.
They're just trying to get their name out there, rise above all the noise Zagg makes.
so weird, they have for Captive size, and Vibrant size, but they don't have i9000 size
Isnt the Vibrant the same size as the i9000 though? It just has an extra button?
Link it not down
It's www.stealguards.com - the s' was missing.
And you missed the 'th' in 'stealth'... lol
Well I ordered one and emailed about i9000 issue. But I do not get any answer. This can be slow customer service or...
I don't want to say more...

It's been 4 months that i have my HTC and all 3 letters on back cover have fallen off...
First fell the T, then H and today i saw C fell off and i didn't even know so all letters are lost...
It's a European model and not in warranty .... I have no plans to buy another mobile for next year.
what a shame HTC, i bought this phone for better build and this is what i get....?
Here is how it looks
its been 4 months here mines all good
Happened to mine as well, and a lot of other people. I contacted HTC by email through their site and told them the letters and the ring around the camera fell off and was very displeased in their build quality. They gave me a new one.

Damn, that sucks man.
I feel for ya, I would be annoyed as well.
I stick to Samsung simply because I have never had any kind of real problems from them. And they are awesome.. But that's beside the point. lol
I can't believe they would make it so that the branding could come off soo easily. :/
Sorry bro.
what do you mean by 3 letters fell off? how is that possible?

They are a sticker material on the aluminum which gives them a different color than the rest of the metal.
Just warning you guys... Put a transparent rounded small tape on the letters... You could be next victims...
My set is not in warranty... It was imported from Europe... i am in Asia... Do you think Asian guys will exchange it for me for free?
...or put a light coat of clear varnish (or even clear nail polish) over them.
Asian guys might do it for free, Just ask.
Good luck.

US Models don't have that.
*insert debranding joke here*
Looks like it's time to buy a case. :x
Not a issue for the Sensation XE, There left dull to go with the rest off the phone =)
the picture is not so clear but, I actually think it looks pretty cool like that.
from the pic it makes it look like there is strips of carbon fiber pieces underneath...
anyway, you said no warranty but have you tried contacting HTC anyway?
maybe they'll hook you up regardless since the product is less then a year old.
if not, look at it this way... you now have a one of a kind, limited edition back cover.

Yeah the cover helps. I font have one on my mine and its in and out of my pocket at work.
it's not the letters that's my problem, it's the display-glas. scratchy as hell allready. but my htc legend is scratch free
Mine started doing this back in September

In need of a replacement front cover, which includes the capacitive button area and LG area up at the top, along with the brushed metal color bezel. I was able to find this, http://www.parts4repair.com/lg-optimus-2x-full-housing-cover-brown/ but for the O2X, everything looks similar and I know the phones are practically identical, but are they EXACTLY the same?
don't quote me on this but i'm pretty sure the G2x is just a t-mobile branded O2x, so i would assume the hardware is the same

I thought so also, some pretty good prices on that site, but it's china. Who knows if I'm actually getting what's in the picture, everything there is LG and Google branded, I hope the same stuff comes in the mail!
I see tutorials about taking this thing apart, and they're all like 5-7 minutes long, so it shouldn't be that much of a chore.

Looking at eBay, there are US shippers that have bezels and front capacitive covers for like $30-$40 for both the g2x and HD7 that I need.
Now I have to get a Y cable with SD card reader to root my hd7, such a hassle.

What devices? certainly not a nexus. Have you seen a replacement back for the Nexus 4? Nope, and thats been out longer there's too much integrated into the backs of these phones for some third party to come up with a replacement and the manufactures certainly wont make a replacement. The best you can do is a Skin.

Well that proves my point.. That phone and any phone with a removable back is easy to make a replacement for because its just a piece of plastic. The N4 and N5 and any phone with a non user removable back has more integrated into the backing so making one isnt as easy on top of the fact that its not supposed to be "user removable" so if you think about it, why in the world would a 3rd party manufacture make a different style back for a phone that's back isnt supposed to be removed? The market would be minuscule for obvious reasons and warranty voidance and its harder to make cause the integrated parts..

Can't compare something that has a back that is meant to be removed with one that isn't. Especially with the kind of components, antennas (Wifi, GPS, MIMO, NFC, wireless charging coil, and now even the vibrator), and magnets that's incorporated into the backplate of the Nexus 5, I don't see a good option coming.
Looks like a skin or case, man...are you hell bent for faux leather?
To give some update:
This is what im about to buy:
http://www.etradesupply.com/lg-nexus-5-d820-battery-door-black.html ($30 for a new stock backplate)
I showed it to a local metal engineer, he guessed that he can chrome-plate it for me for ~50$, also removing the battery warning stuff
Next step is to find a cheat repair store that is able to replace the stock part with the new one(+ insert all of the sensors etc onto the new plate).
I WILL get my metal backplate ^_^

So i picked up a OnePlus 7 Pro from T-Mobile today and i know on the OP site is says it comes with a Preinstalled Screen Protector but the T-Mobile version doesn't mention it on the box and i don't see one on the phone? Why is it that they didn't get included on T-Mobile models? Or am i missing something?
The tmobile version so some reason didn't come with one.. I haven't heard of anyone who reported a screen protector installed..

I don't know how because I just talked to OnePlus and it's not included on the T-Mobile version.
Mine didn't come with one on it.
It came with a clear case like normal and I bought one of the easy apply tempered glass screen covers.
I was about to post this same thread as I just unpacked mine, and I definitely do not have one, kinda sucks as I was planning to run that one until I find a decent enough one to get.
According to TMobile Tforce via Twitter it's supposed to come with one pre-installed
