I've tweeted Best Skins Ever, they're making a N4 skin as soon as they can get their hands on one
I hate skinomi bought one for my one x and applied on to the screen, the water stayed inbetween the skin and screen, it also had dirt caught on to it, do any of you know how to get rid of dirt from a screen protector.

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

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.

Ahh I see. Thank you for confirming this.
I had a bad experience with Skinomi.
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.
i currently have a sgp ultra olephobic screen protector for nexus s and it was pricey but was worth it
I ordered one and still waiting on confirmation... no ordered processed or shipping... wanted this for as soon as the phone arrives.

Zagg HD was good for a few days and then started bubbling at the top and was easily nicked up.
Skinomi will always have microbubbles.(bad batch) Have tried 4 at 2 plus days each.
Please note what is actually working and where you purchased it.
please help before I go insane.
Leave the Skinomi alone for at least 3 days. I bet the speckles will disappear.
Had a dozen devices, never used a screen protector and never will.
Over the years had zero scratches
Had a Skinomi purchased from their website since I received the phone on May 4th. Have had no problems at all. Love it.
still rocking the skinomi on mine as well. no bubbles or anything here. it cleared up within 8hrs of putting it on.
Believe it or not but the best luck with screen protectors I've had, as far as durability and application, is with the AT&T branded ones (I think they're actually iFrog or something). The only problem is that they are "anti-glare" so I ended up going "bare" for a while but my nerves got the best of me and now I'm using a Zagg "Dry" Invisibleshield. The Zagg is starting to "peel" at the edges and it actually scratches pretty easily so I might just go back to the AT&T ones.
I agree the AT&T ones fit well but sucks cause its anti glare, at least it's not much fingerprints, and at least I know in my head there's a beautiful screen under all that graininess
I had the att anti glare and it would not sit right bc of the screen curve. Now have zagg and its nice but far too grippy. Suggestions ?

I've had one installed for 2 weeks. Have some micro bubbles.
I have had the Zagg HD on for as long as I've had the phone and it's still great. It's been over a week, maybe close to 2.
everyone in this thread should try liquid armor. It is a spray on screen protector, no bubbles, no dust, no lowered image quality. I have it on my one x and has been great so far. Best part is its only 20 bucks and you can use the spray over 50 times.
I honestly don't know why this isn't a very popular its incredible.

You have to kind of "scrape" it off, like scraping ice off of a windshield.

No scratches so far, and I've dropped it twice. Fantastic stuff!

The screen protector is remarkably easy to pop out. I also used some duct tape to remove the residual adhesive left over off the inside of the plastic frame. After that you are free to use any screen protector you like.
Yea man protect that baby for when It's reselling time I loved the case but love it even more since I took the protector off

I think it's common knowledge by now that GG is susceptible to thin, shallow hairline scratches. Scratch-resistant does not mean scratch-proof

GG2 was just an improvement on it's structural strength, meaning they can make them thinner. It's still the same material, and Corning states that it just "maintains" its durability though being thinner, not that it's any more resistant to scratches.
http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/news/press-releases/corning-unveils-new-gorilla®-glass-2
But whatever man, to each his own. You do whatever you want with your phone. I just think it's misleading to tell everyone that the glass is indestructible when it's not.
Also, keys really can't scratch any modern glass used on smartphones. Here's a video of the Galaxy Nexus (which does not have GG) and the key doesn't do anything either.

The "hammer" demo is pretty cool though.
yuk!
That is most certainly the ugliest phone case i have ever seen. most of these cases make the streamline HTC devices look like pieces of crap. I'm certain that HTC didn't work on slimming down the device so you can bulk it up again by inserting it into that ugly block of rubbery ****.
no case, no screen protector.
I run a "phone pocket" , i just choose a pants or shirt pocket, and the which ever one i put it in, the phone rides solo, no keys, no coins, co cards .. just the phone. That keeps it sweet and it still looks premo.
Yeah but it's good protection from dropping it and possible other way of damaging it

The protectors make the screen look worse, and the screen is already very damage resistant.

I do the same thing to the iPhone defenders. The plastic membrane makes a sticking sound when you hit the screen. Its a good idea but overall its kinda sloppy. A lot of my customers take the membrane out as well. Pay attention otterbox....

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
Do they ship to europe?
Yeah I never understood the soap thing.I still have the spray from my zagg so I'm just gonna use that
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.

Ima order one. Never used this brand but it will have to do .
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
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?

Hi,today I installed the ZAGG front and back protector a the mall....I had it on my galaxy nexus too.I just wont to inform everybody who is considering this screen protector....compared it to to one on the galaxy nexus it has way less of that "orange peel" effect and it is not so much "gripy" than the one on the galaxy nexus that I installed almost a year agoo.So they must changed something on the protetctor.Overall Im very satisfied with this one and I would recommend it.
Thanks! Glad to see they've gotten better. I just don't like how expensive they are so I opted for a different brand.
But I am curious about that ZAGG HD.

You may think that they're more expensive but if you take into consideration the lifetime warranty I find them worth the price. I've only had to pay for 1 screen protector on all of my devices. Whenever they start peeling off because of the case I have or any little issue, I just get it replaced for free (you can take it to the mall and they'll do it also but i believe they charge) As the OP has mentioned, the orange peel look isn't as prominent as it used to be. It reminds me of my older devices with the original Gorilla Glass, its there if you look for it but if you're just using your phone its nearly impossible to see.
Are the Zaggs case friendly or will they pull band bubble up on the corners if I have a case? Because otherwise I love these and will get one asap if they play nicely with cases

Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
The ZAGG screen protector has 2 variants: 1 for no case, and the other is case friendly. The case friendly ones are cut more to allow room for case sides, so they will not push up against the sides of the screen protector. IF you got the wrong one, just ask for a replacement.
The greatest thing about the ZAGG lifetime warranty is that even if you ordered the original version and they later release a HD version for your device, you can simply ask for a replacement and get the HD if that is the one you want.
Easy Peasy.
