Skinomi Screen Protector

Just got mine in the mail and applied it. Followed the instructions to the letter, and so far I still see streaks/residue behind the cover. The instructions say this will clear up within a few days so I won't pass judgement just yet. If the residue and streaks clear up like they say I would definitely recommend this. I will post back and update!
***Edit**
Forgot to add that as far as I can tell this cover has no effect at all on touch sensitivity.

You get the full skin or just the screen?

I just ordered mine using the get25 promo code to get 25% off. If it's anything like the Zagg skins the streaks will disappear.

Just got the screen. I didn't feel the rest was really necessary.

I ordered the full skin not in yet but planning on using that till a case I like hits the market I don't like any cases at the moment. .. but I was just wondering if the installation was tough with the full skin.. hope not...

The screen was somewhat straight forward and easy, the only complication I would see with installing it on the body is the corners not wanting to apply without some air bubbles.

Wish me luck. ... LOL hope it fits perfect with no bubbles imperfections piss me off

Mine should be here by Friday. Great job how long did it take?

Probably about 30 minutes. I did the screen in the bathroom with high steam from the shower to keep the dust down, and then did the rest in my kitchen. I did use my wifes hairdryer to aid in drying the smaller pieces on the top, bottom and sides. you have to be careful when doing the H shaped part across the back and sides. You adjust the right and completely move the left by accident. I will let everyone know if the micro-bubbles dissipate as advertised and will take additional photos in a couple days.

My screen has cleared up a little bit in the past few hours. Hoping it clears all the way up.

Nicely done slimm13. The micro bubbles will go away if they are anything like Zagg's IS.

It looks did a really great job putting it on. Curious though that the edges aren't fully covered...it leaves those little 't' shaped spaces. The Zagg seems too fully covers the rounded edges...

Thank you guys for the kind words, I think it is far from perfect but serviceable. I was surprised about the corners as well, thought it was odd. I had hoped that there would have been some extra material and I would have cut pieces to fit in said holes.

Those that cover the corners "well" are very easy to rub/peel off that corner as you just take it in and out of pocket. (I'd like to take a picture of my current phone to show you what I'm talking about.... it's ugly... but that gotta wait till my Nexus One arrives... ) Next time I'm getting these skins I'd look for the T-shaped ones with a hole at that pesky corner.

Screen protector - bargin!!! - Large pictures inside!!!

I bought this the other day:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/FoneM8-Desi...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1273093982&sr=1-14
Got it today and I can report it is a bargin! only slightly reduces the sensitivity of the screen, which I actually like! Fit is good and you get 5 of them for <£2. The seller is doing themselves an injustice.
Oh and put it on with the peel off tab at the top. It fits the other way around (as I found out) but its meant to be at the top.
JAmes.

Re: Screen protector - bargin!!!
do they completely cover the screen?

Ordered last night. will give em a try when they come. the ones i ordered before are rubbish.

Ordered a pack @ £2 one cant complain Will add to this thread when they arrive

Yup total coverage.
I'm gonna buy another pack before the seller bumps up the price.
Can get pictures if wanted?
JAmes.

I recently ordered this screen protector from eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/x2-LCD-Screen...ries_MobilePhoneBatteries?hash=item2559ea1f8e
It literally took only two days to arrive from US and its one of the best full screen coverage protectors I have every used, well impressed. Only £2.00 (including postage) and you receive two screen protectors.
After applying, I have not noticed any adverse affects on the touch screen; if anything, it actually feels better/smoother, with no trapped air bubbles or dust underneath the screen.
Note: lucky i was sent two protectors, I messed up applying the first one because it caught some dust particles in the air if you order this, make sure you apply in a dust free room!

why do you need one when it has a glass screen?

Try and scratch your screen and when you don't manage to and provide evidence I'll remove my protector

Please do - pictures would be great. Can you take one of an unused screen protector too?
How is it applied? With a liquid solution or strips on top/bottom that has to be pulled?

Yo! Pictures aren't perfect I'm afraid and I had to use the flash and I forgot to clean my grubby paw prints off
You get 5 in the pack + a big general one you can use for something else.... dunno what
I've not applied this one perfectly, its slightly mis-alligned at the bottom left which has a knock on effect at the top, but its only off by about 0.5mm so I'm gonna wait until it annoys me too much before I use up another. I've tried to show it in the pics. If it were perfectly alligned it would take a really trained eye to spot it.

It looks nice.
Is it clear or matte?
It looks a lot like one I had from DC Mugen for my Samsung i780 and uses the same method of applying it.
I put an InvisibleShield on my Desire a few days ago. Very nice protector, but I hate applying the InvisibleShield because it always seem to get screwed up.
The "peel" method is much easyer as the whole protector isn't exposed while applying.

Its clear. The picture was taken on top of my mousemat which is frosted glass so might be making it look a little matted. Its also still got the protector covers on which makes it not as clear. Oh and my paw prints are all over the phone when I took the pics.
They are a little tricky to fit, but you get 5 of them for £2 and you can take them off and put them back on, although its difficult not to get it dirty when doing so. Actually I've just read the instructions on how to fit it.... opps I pulled the whole protector off and then fitted it. Oh well I've got 3 left to try
JAmes.
PS. If I remember I'll get some pics in sunlight tomorrow.

Some indoor pictures (like previously posted) but the the screen turned on would also be appreciated if that is not too much to ask.

it looks like the PDAir protector but you only get one of them and I already made it dirty.
Plus could not get the air bubbles out.

lol... never thought of scotch tape! maybe you could try it in your bathroom after you have a bath as the steam will remove the dust particles from the air.

I bought some of these from eBay last week and have to say its a brilliant buy. under £2 for 5 is a bargain. I have passed one of my spares to a mate. Perfect fit on screen and no noticeable reduction in sensitivity. Just make sure you give the screen a good wipe with the cloth provided beforehand and you should be fine. No air bubbles and after over a week of use I have nothing bad to say about it.

Most protectors you can wash under the tap and 'apply wet' to the screen. I've done this a few times with various devices if you dont get it right the time/ get a spec of dust underneath etc. You simply squeegee out the water with a credit card (or similar) with a thin material wrapped around it to avoid scratches. Very much like window tints.

Chips and Scratches :(

Hi All,
I thought the One S was meant to be impossible to mark and the screen is gorilla glass that is impossible to scratch.
Well after two weeks use I have lots of small chips along the sharp edge at the top, presumably from keys and coins in my pocket, and some hairline scratches on the screen.
Very disappointed about this, clearly the marketing is a lie. Does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks

It's not impossible to scratch, It is just hard to scratch it.
Try not to put your phone in the same pocket you put your keys and coins in.

Yeah !! All my phones have cases and screen protectors, No matter how tough these phones are, Its NOT impossible to scratch or chip, Its just very difficult.
They are scratch resistant, not scratch proof.

I have the same problem. In a place where the most touching, there was a spot similar to the attrition. I believe in One S which has no gorilla glass 2. Glass can be scratched by the finger.
My HD2 2 years of use, still in perfect condition.

The chipping issue has been resolved now though they changed the process of mapping them I bought my one s two weeks after it came out and also bought a pouch and taken good caste of it

Belief can be a powerful thing. Perhaps you could tell HTC that they have it wrong?

I think expecting a phone not to scratch is like expecting your brand new car no to get scratches. Not possible. We've given up that idea with cars and should really understand that it's the same way with phones. If you plan on using it and care about scratches put a screen protector and cover on it.

OP's mistake was somehow assuming that his phone is invincible. HTC surely never said anything about it being impervious to any damage. That kind of thinking is just silly.
They fortify the phones the best they can, and in this case, the metal housing IS pretty sturdy. That being said, this thing can bust through silicone cases. I've dropped mine twice, and both times, the top left and bottom of the phone literally punctured through the silicone case and got scratched/scuffed. No biggie, though.

Really?...you're storing your $600 computer in your pocket with coins and keys and then complaining it scratches? I've never used any sort of case or protector..just keep it alone in my pocket and have no scratches on any of my last 3 phones. Do you keep your laptop rattling around in your trunk with a loose lugwrench and case of soda cans?

jajaja yes! To prevent something from hitting the screen!

I definitely advise against keeping any phone in the same pocket as your keys! I use my front pockets exclusively, a thin wallet and my keys (and make sure I get rid of keys I don't need instead of carrying around a keychain that looks like it belongs to a janitor) and the phone by itself on the other front pocket.
No cell phone is indestructible! Take care of it well, it's a technological marvel, don't take it for granted!

Preach it! Exactly how I have my setup. And the cellphone upside down! (I guess it's just easier to pull it out of the pocket that way).

I quit the coinage habit.... leave your pennies in the tip jar. One dedicated pocket for the device and nothing else.
I hate cases and protectors like a disease they are just dumb but this thing is so damn slippery I'm thinking about putting some sort of rubber film on the back. Yet to drop this thing but I don't drop my children either
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

I assume everyone would have the same problem as OP if their phone was in the pocket alongside keys and coins without a protective case and.
As some have said here already, keeping all the stuff in one pocket and your phone in another should do wonders.

Mines only a week old and already you can see the silver showing through around the usb port.

Carbon fibre vinyl wrap. (self mod)

The chrome paint had started to chip off on my mates old phone that he was selling so I decided to wrap it with my left over vinyl wrap. All I did is place a big piece of vinyl wrap over the screen, then used a hairdryer to mould it around the corners. I used a blade to cut around the screen and the back of the frame and finally peeled the excess wrap off.
Here are some pics.

Thanks man. I used a non branded vinyl wrap from Ebay (If you want the best quality vinyl wrap, I'd go for the 3M branded ones). This is basically what I used. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CARBON-FI...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5ae7791258
Be sure the to check the size of the wrap before you buy. :good:

does the carbon vinyl slip when you try to slide it with your thumb?...how the hell did it fit the round edges?...teach me please...thanks

Basically what I did was heat the vinyl with a hairdryer, this allows you to stretch the vinyl however you want so you get a wrinkle free finish. Here's a video to show you how it's done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMhvU8Dk3CE&feature=youtube_gdata_player
No it doesn't slip off, it's relatively sticky.
I did the same thing on my Xperia Play a couple of days ago.

Yes it will still be sticky. Even I managed to touch the sticky part of the wrap, which didn't harm it at all. Heat actually makes it even stickier.

Just make sure that your phone is clean from fingerprints or grease before applying the vinyl wrap. Good luck. I'm looking forward to seeing your result.

Gap between glass and frame

Does anyone have a slight gap between the glass the the frame of the phone?
Slight gap at the back (volume button side) where i can fit a piece of paper while the other side is sealed tight.

Holy crap! I have it too!
Just fit a sheet of paper in it. The other side is sealed though.
It might be normal then. I just want to be sure thats not gonna affect the water resistance, but i took this in the shower on day 1 already with no issues.

Wow! you guys are lucky man. You guys can get a replacement (for silly issue) until you get a perfect piece. In my place the dealer will be like 'Is this guy crazy?' and finally will give you a replacement after lots of arguments with a frustrated face. How do you deal with circumstances like when going with a 'Display color uniformity' issue?

can anyone send pic pls......

not sure.. I just need confirmation that this gap doesnt cause any issues with water contact..... that's all haha. If it does, then there's no reason for them to reject my request for an exchange. But in my country I think they exchange with refurbished units. so. I might not do it if there isn't any issues with water resistance.
my device is unlocked and bought without carrier. in singapore all devices are unlocked

After watching the teardown video, it looks like the source of the sealing is the glue that affixes the glass. I don't think the bezel contributes much to the waterproofing. I could be wrong, though.

omg I noticed that too!
Also, i can feel the metal bit sticking out a bit more on the volume side

Pics? I use a silicon cover so I can't see it.

Looks like the difference between the left side and the right side of the phone. Notice the left side doesn't have the gap

He claims that the white version has a back glass askewed and this is a top and bottom part of one side.
vhc: Nope, that was a problem of the black one.
