So When i had a thread in the skyrocket forum for ghost armor it picked up pretty well. Ghost armor is a wet application protector like zagg and bodyguardz. They offer screen and full body protection. their protectors are, IMO, much less rubbery and tacky feeling than zagg and they show a lot less orange peel.
Aside from the clear finish though, they have different flavors such as carbon fiber wraps and my personal favorite, matte finish. Instead of using a case on my phones I always use these guys and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend having their kiosk employee do the installation too.
Here is my One X with the matte finish ghost armor applied, along with the screen. The original kit did not come with the sides and i had to add them in extra, but it's well worth it because the glossy sides are the most easily scratched part.
Looks very nice. I might just get it done as well!
Thank you! I had no clue there was a separate color option for the camera circle. Definitely getting now. How does it feel by the way?

Is the matte slippery at all?
I hate the orange peel effect it gives to the screen.
How much extra were the sides?
I was shocked when I picked mine up and didn't have any protection for the sides.

I actually got too anxious and couldn't wait for my full ghost armor so I bought the Zagg HD screen protector today. Damn is this thing smooth. Really feels just like the glass of the phone. I'm just going to use the back and sides from Ghost Armor, as I really can't stand any case that's out for this phone.
The matte actually improves the grip of the phone by quite a but but still feels awesome to hold. Side pieces cost me an extra $5 he used the pieces from an iPhone 3g kit

How did you get the green circle? I'm on their website and not sure how to configure the order to get a sticker for the ring colored differently than the rest of the body...

If you go to one of their kiosks you'll have much more flexibility with color options. I was annoying and got mine mix-n-matched lol

Here we go. Not a lot to see on the front it's just a better than most screen protector.
I didn't bother with the sides.
I thought the carbon fiber would provide a nice grippy surface and I was right. I'm quite pleased
So is there any orange peal affect like Zagg on the screen protector?
I have no idea what that is. Never used any screen protector before today.
Ooh Gunny, that looks awesome! Have it professionally installed?

Yeah. I drink way too much coffee and could never have gotten it to look that good so I paid them. 37 bucks with tax for the skin and install.

I just googled. There may be a MINIMAL effect but I only see it when the phone is off and it's more like seeing vertical lines than bumps and swirls like in the pictures I saw.

Here are some pictures of the gel skin sold at Tmobile.
PRO'S: Case serves great protection and style as well.
The black color is really nice, compliments the color of the phone.
Its a silicone case, very flexible, that is textured. It is also really easy to install.
The bulk that it adds is very minimal.
CONS: One in particular is that if you like the ease of just pulling it out of your,
the whole case grabs onto the inside of your pocket, pulling the pocket inside-out.
OVERALL:: Overall, I recommend this case to anyone that is looking for some
great protection, with very little bulk adding to the phone.

that looks very nice, fit & finish is excellent!

I also got the screen protectors. Clear type like I like and if put on correctly they adhere 100% no bubbles or air gaps.
The gel skin is a good case until otterbox decides to make a case for it. The screen protector is garbage. I had finger scratching on the screen protector before I left the store. But it will have to do until the zagg screens are out.

Really nice find man. Ordering one right now, thanks!
I just got the T-mobile screen protectors. Not bad.
I had the rep at T-mobile put it on, figure if she screwed up she'd give me a free one or something. She had already done a few Sensations and I must say she did a good job. Better I know then if I tried it. There are just a few tiny bubbles that I think I can work out, not really noticeable. She did throw in an extra free one because she bad that she slightly scratched the protector trying to get one of the bubbles out. I can't even really see it. So overall a happy experience.
My Body Glove case is being sent to my home now - so that should be an all together different but interesting experience!
Here's a quick video I put up of the official T-Mobile gel case:

I ordered the PhantomSkinz Matt full body skin.

Comes with 2 sets and the screen part also comes with 2 sets of Matt finish and Clear Gloss finish.

those of you looking for some decent protection for your touchpad should check out the ghost armor full body MATTE PROTECTION.
I have what they call a "matte" back on my iphone 3gs and iphone 4 and not only does it cover up all the scratches and give it a nice "frosty" look, it does not get any fingerprints on it whatsoever! The screen protector itself is crystal clear and quite a bit like zagg's invisibleshield, but it is less rubbery feeling, alas more natural.
I went to the kiosk in my mall and special ordered it for my touchpad, it should be installed on monday. I'll post some pictures once I get it on but i'm sure it will look great since the touchpad's back looks just like an iphone 3gs.
And for those of you worried about it peeling off like the zaggs sometimes do on cell phones, this is a tablet that you probably won't be putting in your pocket so there isn't too much risk of it peeling
This is what I use...

Fits the touchpad perfectly. Looks like nothing is there. I have used zagg, BSE, and everything else out there, and I have to say, this is probably my favorite so far.
Personally I went for the Bodyguardz carbon fiber skin. 29 bucks and fits great. No glare screen protector as well.

I have the ghost armor on my ipad 2. It is great if installed right. I had them do it at the mall but the total price is insane.
I use bodyguardz for all my stuff. Excellent product with excellent customer service. I always get my replacements with no hassle. I put on my carbon fiber skin yesterday and I fits perfectly. Wished it had a hole for the HP symbol though. I'll try take some pics tonight. The screen protector is smooth as well. No stickiness like the zagg. Also the carbon fiber products are dry install.
any pics of the completed install?
I'm deciding between Ghost Armor and Zagg
I have zagg on my phone and I do NOT like the feel of it. It also has some imperfections (dents?). It does clean well though.
On my TP (now getting serviced for the crack by the speaker), has the Armor Suit Military Shield. I don't like the carbon backing - the corners are horrid. I do like the screen protector. Smooth and anti-glare.
I am going to try BobyGaurdz next. I hear the carbon back sits better on the TP than the Armor Suit.
Guys dont spend 30 bucks on that carbon fiber skin. Just type 3m carbon on ebay and look for the right size it cant be mnre than 5 bucks. I had some leftovers from my motorcycle and did both my phone and touchpad. Both perfect and it takes less than 5 mins.
For some reason it wount let me upload pics but if someone could shoot me a pm with their mail they could post them.

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

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 think all matte protectors do that to the One S, I've tried a few different types and they've all been the same.
Just in case anybody wanted to know SGP now has a front and back protector and they are dry installs for those who prefer it that way. They're 13.99 which is the same price that you got for the single front protector that they initially started selling. They come in both ultra crystal and and ultra oleophobic.
Here are the links.

They are a dry install which means that once you start putting it down there isn't much room for error. They don't cover 100% of the screen either. They kind of miss out on the curved edges. They are much harder than the BSE and have little to no orange peel effect. They are defiantly flatter and thinner.
I'm sure there won't be any problems with any case because it doesn't go to the edge of the screen.

should work fine. I would say it's probably better than the wet installs. Only thing is some people might not like the front since it doesn't cover the entire glass due to the curves on the sides.

Anyone have this that can comment on if this will prevent the back of my phone from sliding off of everything? I want to go without a case, but need something to prevent the back of my phone from sliding everywhere.
Also, anyone use it extensively with wireless charger notice it if messes up the screen protector at all?
Thanks!
I searched and didn't see a review for this case. I picked it up yesterday at T-Mobile I had a Ringke Slim prior to this case, I liked the Ringke Slim but I am so paranoid about dropping my phone and not having enough protection, primarily the top and bottom and the corners of the phone.
The Body Glove offers full protection for the Nexus 4. The case is a hybrid hard/soft case. The inside of the case is a "durable gel material" which extends out to the outer edges of the case so that if the phone drops face down it won't land on the glass. There is also gel material on the outside of the case covering the power and volume buttons as well as the back of the case for some slightly added grip and so when the case is placed down the hard plastic won't be touching whatever its laying on.
The case feels rather good in the hand as it does not add any significant weight or thickness to the phone which is awesome. Body Glove did a great job on keeping the ergonomics of the phone while the case is on. My only real complaint is Body Glove could have added more grip to the case. The little groves they added to the back of the case helps some but I think it would help with grip more if the groves were vertical and not horizontal.
Will add more pics of the case on the phone as well as comparison pics of the Ringke Slim.

My review is that it looks hideous.
Great review!!! It really don't look bad in person but I dont think any case really looks great anyway, to each their own I guess.
I also own this case and I have to say it's amazing, I feel like my phone is very protected and looks great. I was looking on amazon for weeks for a good case but I felt everything else was really cheep, the nova is a great looking high quality case and I wouldn't get anything else!
it looks stromtrooper-ish
they have an all black version if this particular one doesn't suit your taste. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BODY-GL...969187?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item23284cada3
Sad tht in India, we have less choice to get accessories , as I have got the phone through relative living in India.
I picked up the same case and I love it. Buttons feel good. Full all around protection. Color choice was pink or white and that's the only draw back imo

I just ordered the black one from daydeal. Com 22.99 free shipping. I'll post pics once I get it.

I just picked this up today. So far it fits great and the buttons feel good I just wish the edges weren't as boxy.
Anyways I took some pictures for you. The one with the screen turned on shows what looks like white splotches around the edge, but that's a reflection of something because the case shows some chrome on top and bottom. I couldn't get good lighting and the tablets camera sucks with no flash.

This case is just like the seidio active just with better fit due to more structure from the shell. The seidio is nice but doesn't have enough points of grip making the silicone underneath move a lot and letting in dust and particles.

Where did you get the white from. On ebay and Amazon the only ones available are the black ones.

Can anyone compare it to the Ballistic case?
Does it give more protection?is the quality better?thanks
Thanks to all providing pictures.
How do the buttons feel ?
The inner silicone gel case looks thinner than similar dual layer cases (and i presume it cannot be separated from the outer shell as well) . Does it feel like it will give enough protection for a 4/5 ft concrete fall ?
Ooooh! This case is nice! I wish I would've bought this before I bought my Ringke Fusion.

I think the white one can only be bought directly at a tmobile store.
The black one is really nice, had a plain black body glove for my HTC one s the same kind and it had great protection I really recommend the body glove ones
