anyone have a screen protector from skinomi? what do you think of it? if not what do you reccomend?
I have one, and have since 2 phones ago, I think that they are GREAT! they stay "Cloudy" for a few days after install, but they clear up!
cool! just a few questions do you think it might be a bit thick? and how does it do with it comes to fingerprints?
hardly any fingerprints, and thick, yeah, but it doesn't effect the screen at all.
Haha okay cool thanks for replying

It may take a few days, if not, I took a hair dryer to the last one, and it cleared up quicker
I actually like the thickness of the protector. It makes me feel like it, in a sense, protects it from the more severe damage that any regular screen protector wouldnt.

zagg v skinomi?
Has anyone done a side-by-side comparison b/w zagg and skinomi? any preference based on experience?
I read a number of reviewers that preferred the zagg.
others:
phantom skinz
clarivue
bodyguardz
stealth shieldz
ghost armor
imho skinomi is better than zagg. ghost armour is good, but they didnt have one for the g2x.
skinomi is a good fit for the screen, the body isn't too good
@mikew29
I found a ghost armor LG G2X protector on their website for $15. Am I missing something?
well i just got mine in the mail and applied it about an hour ago.. even tho i epicaly failed at putting it on cuz theres like one of those fibres in it and a few nicks. the corners dont seem to stick very well, but imma hav another look after about a week. will report back in a week with results

Yup, I tried Zagg just because I got their headphones for $10 if I bought the shield. I took it off after a week, the orange peel affect is horrific. I also noticed it was a lot thinner than Ghost Armor, not sure if that's matters in normal situations though.. lol

I've just purchased the BestSkinEver screen-only protector.
had the full phone BSE skin on my N1, and couldn't fault the protection.
It did peel on the corner pieces, which is why I've gone for the screen-only one this time.

Hey y'all, noob here, just got my One S the other day, and just got my Diztronic case from Amazon today, love it! Those screen protectors that come with it are crap tho, and was looking into the Ghost Armor. I've had unpleasant results with the Zagg shields in the past, and the Ghost Armor seems to be pretty popular.
One other question, is anyone using the full-body GA skin in addition to a regular case, such as the Diztronic or Incipio? Just curious. Thanks!

I've never had the ghost armor full body, but I did had zagg full body and it didn't peel up. Once you let it dry it sticks pretty well, just don't put a case on it for at least 24 hours maybe more to let it dry.
I'd imagine Ghost Armor would be better, their screen protector is soooo much better than Zagg's.
I actually need to get a replacement from Ghost Armor, for some reason the bottom part keeps wanting to come up.
I´am using the antireflex protector from mumbi and i´am very happy with it. Feels good and looks really pretty.
how it looks GhostArmor Clear for the back ? any pic ?
i'm surprised no one mentioned htc's own screen protector for the one s. there are a few sellers on ebay from uk selling them. i picked up a couple awhile ago for about USD$9 shipped.
Got my Ghost Armor (screen only) today, and just applied it. Took 2 tries, but I nailed it on the second attempt, got it perfectly lined up. I've been going back with the little squeegee and squishing out some of the smaller little bubbles over the last hour or so, and as long as you get the squeegee wet, it works pretty well to smooth out the little guys. So far, I like it a lot, doesn't have that rubbery-drag feel of the Zagg I had on my G2, or the orange peel. I'll report back in a day or so to update.
krusell
I got a KRUSELL screen film for my one S a couple of days ago and I'm thrilled with it. It is completely transparent and does not affect in any way the brightness and colors, and it doesn't have that squeaky feel.
I had an invisible shield on my previous Desire for about 8 months, it's good if you are a frequent phone dropper but if not it makes your screen uglier, it's like heaving sweat on it all the time and also affects the touch sensitivity.
All in all, would definetly recommend the Krusell.
Alright, so I made it about 5 days, and I think I'm ditching the screen protector. Yes, the peace of mind of the added protection is nice, but to be honest, I'm not really worried about it enough to keep this. I had my HTC G2 for almost 2 years, which didn't even have Gorilla Glass, and by the time I sold it, it had ONE hardly noticeable scratch in the top-left corner of the screen.
The Ghost Armor goes on relatively simple enough, but in 3 applications, I've found it impossible to keep at minimum 2-3 specks of dust out from under it when I go to smooth it down, which create a bubble you CANNOT get rid of, and I can feel them under my fingertips when scrolling around on the screen. For someone as anal as myself when it comes to things like this, these make my head want to explode. I'm also noticing around the edge of the film (which doesn't extend all the way to the edges of the screen, and I find this to be really lame), it's gathering dust and finger... gunk. Finally, and I might be alone in this, but I think it takes the sharpness of the display away. Not to a hugely noticeable amount, but it's there, and it bugs the hell out of me.
Any nice cases that are comparable to outerbox but with a lens protector?

I tried the 'Greatshield AG' (product title on Amazon below, can't link since I'm newb.) - 3 pack for like $7.
Sucks. Feels and performs great, but causes a pixellated rainbow 'shimmer' on the screen, highly annoying. Might try some of the others in this thread to see.

I think all matte protectors do that to the One S, I've tried a few different types and they've all been the same.

It's how you apply it. It has to be a dust free place. Never experienced having a speck of dust on between with different brands of skins on a screen and I also make sure to squeegee out the liquid thoroughly
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Honestly I don't see much difference between these, BSE, Invisibleshield etc. But I usually go with Ghost Armor because they have a stand at mall near me that does the installation and replacement themselves.
They all work fine, but I hate when they are not applied correctly, it makes them pretty redundant.

I hate that "orange peel" feeling when touching (or looking at it). And most of all, the sticky surface. No no no..I won't buy an Skinomi never again.
I'll look into buying an SPG, very good experience with them. The bad? Their screen protectors are expensive, but they worth.

No problems with ghost armor, its amazing. There's no way it made your screen mess it, if anything It's a faulty install.
I know people who have Ghost armor, including myself. It's by far one of the best screen protectors, a lot better than zagg.

Can you make a few pictures so i could see how it looks?
Hard to decide which is best for a one S.
I presume matte and clear variants will scratch & wear and become ugly one day.
And the Crabon Fiber finish will just ruin the looks of a sweet One S i believe.

Watch some comparison videos on YouTube. You'll get more from a video.
Ghost Armor is nearly perfectly clear compared to Zagg, I noticed it was a little thicker.
Also, when you order Ghost Armor they send you 2 screens. Just in case you mess up on the first try.

Sent from my naked HTC One S.
Could you please explain, how this product works?
Is it simply like a screen protector, that covers the entire phone?
Can you attach it to the body only, but leave the screen unprotected?
Is the clear version more or less invisible?
Matte version is solid or transparent?
Does it add any grip and bulk?

It's a screen protector but over the entire phone. It's not going to protect your phone from huge drops, but for everyday use its perfect.
Ghost Armor has minimal orange peel "effect", a lot less than Zagg.
Adds no bulk.
Matte version is slightly transparent
You can leave it off the screen if you wish.

What i dont like about this brand is that you use liquid soap to apply them wth, you put liquid soap on your device´s screen? that can´t be right

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
You don't actually put soap on your phone, its in the water then rinsed out.
Even though you can't see the soup once rinsed out,
It makes the water have a slight oily substance which helps to cure the skin and helps to apply it.

Do these skins cover it all? With the glass I need it on both glass surfaces at minimum. I would also like the sides covered as well. Does this company or any other cover that? Soft touch is great but I baby my devices. Having that extra bit of protection and cushion could mean the difference between getting a crack or not in a small fall.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
What he means is that soap is not directly applied to the phone. It is diluted in water then the solution is sprayed to the skin. The amount of soap needed is very small. It is just enough to make the solution slippery so that when the skin is applied, you can slide it over the device for adjustment.

BSE is good quality, but it has orange peel effects like Zagg and others. I'd suggest something like XO Skins or Skinomi for the screen, as they don't have that problem.
Just ordered one. I use BSE on my HOX and it's fantastic, minimal orange peel effect and feels smooth to the touch. Much better than Zagg or Skinomi imo, I've not tried XO.
Xo is a good company... fast shipping etc but their skins are very rubbery. I'd rather have a little orange peel than have my finger stick. I had that on my nexus 7 and even after a couple months it didn't go away.
I ordered from bse but have never used them before. They claim to have changed their film for 2012 to make it feel better, apply easier, etc. How is their fit?
