XO Skins

What do you guys think about this screen protector from XO Skins? http://xoskins.com/cell-phone-skin-protectors/google-skin-protectors/google-nexus-4-screen-protector

Had one for my G Nexus, EXTREMELY TOUGH... tested it when I removed it... (sending phone back to Amazon to refund for a nexus 4!)
It really is super tough.

I just ordered one the other day. I am hoping that it would get to me before the N4 arrives so that I do not have to worry about scratches on the screen. Read a lot of great reviews about XO Skins for different phones, and thought might as well try it. Hopefully it's not ~$14 down the drain.

Have a search on YouTube for tips on applying the skin, it makes all the difference! I searched for xo skin application galaxy nexus or similar... it's a breeze, really.

I have been researching them and it looks like this one is right for me. Apparently these don't have the orange peel look and I think these might be better than the hard/plastic protectors because I've gotten scratches quite easily. But they do seem like I don't have anything installed on them. I'm gonna give the XO Skins a try.

XO Skin is an excellent protector! I used to use one on my Nexus and I can tell you it's the best protector I've tried so far. No orange peel and the rubbery feeling goes away and feels quite smooth after about a week (or two? been awhile). Also the customer service at XO Skin is top notch, never seen anything better. Plus it comes with a lifetime warranty, why aren't you ordering it already?
Here's a reference to the XO Skin thread for the Galaxy Nexus if anyone wants to read up some user reviews on it:

Do XO skins sells cases for like when i drop the phone.
or do they just make for screens.

Do they make full body skins? Or at least a back (screen) protector?

Yes they do, I ordered a full body one here:
http://xoskins.com/cell-phone-skin-...protectors/google-nexus-4-full-body-protector
They also do case fit versions too.

I won't use a wet applied skin protector if the screen itself is not in curve, why make it so trouble?
Although XO skin has very nice customer services (I returned 4 times...still getting a bad product, they gave me refund at the end), I was not impressed with their product.
Back to the Samsung Vibrant year, I use Realook clear SP which is really nice.
Do they still make nice screen protector now?
UPDATE:
Damn, just knew that the N4 STILL having curved glass but on the side.....................

I just ordered it ..

But is the full body protector from xoskins actually a front AND rear protector. I could find nothing on the website that actually confirmed that
I would like it to be a 2 piece (front and rear) protector, can anyone confirm this?

From my experience, 4 out of 4 of my XOskins have rainbow effect for either the whole screen or partial screen.....which stop me from getting one for Nexus 4..
But I see reply saying Nexus 4 is still a curve screen on the edge..
so is that really no way for a dry-apply one to fully cover it?

weird the ones i had for my gnex / iphone were mint / crystal clear at all angles.
did you use the solution from the box?
btw ordered another set for the n4 using sprintxo promotion code. Dont bother getting any other shipping other than the usps priority cheap kind. I usually receive their packages in a day or 2 From their office which is in seattle i believe to connecticut.
(actually they are based in utah)

I've seen a rainbow look while it was still wet. Sometimes it takes a few days to dry out.

About XO Skins.
I've put them on all of my devices without hesitation, or worry of something better. They've always protected my devices. I ordered one for my GS3 and it dropped it on the floor while applying.. Sticky side down. They sent me a replacement free.

Just search on ebay, I got 3 for 2 $... It's said on forum that our screen has a good scratch protection, but hey, you can't be too careful

I actually got 3 tiny scratches already, and I have to say yes to the screen protector.

If you go to extremeguard you can buy a full body protector for the device just use coupon code 70off to make it 70% off i ordered 1 yesterday and got it for $3

Last week I got SGP Spigen Ultra Clear Nano and it's absolutely great... It's worth of every penny...

Really strange.
I was in Zambia recently for two weeks, and I took an extended battery and a screen protector.
Extrended battery was brilliant! The screen protector got lots of scuffs on it, even when it was in a pouch, took it off when I got home and the screen was perfect...so not sure if it did help or just that the screen protector was easily scratched! I never use a screen protector and haven't put one back on since being home...and all is perfect.
No harm in being safe I guess!

You can search on Amazon .

TOP QUALITY CLEAR LCD SCREEN PROTECTOR FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY buy 2 get 5. very good lay lol
not enuff post to be allowed to post links

Hi guys. This thread is a little old now, but I thought I'd ask again on the thread instead of posting a new one.
I am currently using the Spigen Nano Clear on my s3 mini but I've found them to be easily scratched. Unfortunately, I've already run through all 3 pieces included in the pack within 6 mths.
Anyway, I'm looking to buy another screen protector now and am wondering which brand offers the best screen protectors for our model. I've seen a few glass screen protectors but none are from the bigger companies (feels dodgy). Any recommendations for screen protectors (glass or not doesn't really matter)..? Cost is not a factor if the product is exceptionally made.

atFolix Clear Screen Protector - Unboxing and Review

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TTgyIySIjA&feature=youtu.be
[If you enjoyed please leave a like and a thanks?]
Bought from atFolix on amazon.
Pros:
Fits with case
-Doesn't lose any screen quality
-Comes with 3 protectors for the front and 3 for the back
-Cuts are perfect
-Cheap compared to other nice screen protectors
-Comes with all the good accessories (to make the screen clear and take of the bubbles)
Cons
-Not the easiest screen protector to apply, I guess it is also my fault that I'm not really handy in those things!
You can buy it here:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/atFoliX-FX-...id=1366110496&sr=8-1&keywords=atFolix+nexus+4
Or at their website:
atFoliX
www.atfolix.com​

has anyone else got these?

I wanna know opinions of other people also .. Might also do a give away

I'm rocking one of these. Took all 3 of the front protectors to get it right (my fault as I haven't applied a protector for years).
The rear was no problem, using it with a ringke fusion and no lifting from the protector.
Have small scratch on the protector so will have to get another pack soon.
All in all a bargain at the price

I have the slightly frosted/matte effect ones by the same company. They're absolutely fine. Took a bit of work to fit them properly but they've kept my n4 in tiptop shape. I dropped it on a hard floor today, expected the worst and all was fine - not the first time. I suspect these films are helping there to some degree. Buy them. V good value!

some dust got under it from taking so long on applying.. might get another one .. still got 2 for the front so..

still rocking good.. I notice a small line with dots when it is in the sun.. i'll try to film it..

Why are these only available on the Amazon UK store, or ebay UK store? I don't want to pay for international shipping.

idk, i'll send them a message suggesting that :S

Where can i find 'wet' screen protectors ...

hey guys im looking for wet screen protectors what are they called besides wet application ? any brands to focus on? thanks! got one applied it so nice but when i put it in my jeans it came off and became dusty! so i need anotyher one (the first one i got for my cousin for free but hes out of town for a while and i cant get in contact with him) where can i get one for 'cheap' i already have the back so i wouldnt mind the front i could look on electronicBay but dont know the technical name to it!

http://www.xtremeguard.com/ or http://www.skinomi.com/
The ones from xtremeguard are really inexpensive but the ones from skinomi are much better.

http://bit.ly/13WGwxD

thanks! i actually didnt google i just searched ebay for wet screen protector

Go xtremegaurd get 60% off with coupon code COASTER.
I love my Xtremegaurd on my Nexus 4

From my experience, Skinomi are pretty wrinkly looking. Xtremeguard, while much clearer, if you dont get it on just right it will lift.

Bestskinsever is honestly the best wet screen protector hands down

BSE for me as well (from previous use, not on my N4)...

I ordered the total body bumper optimized matte body skin..the front screen protector is the glossy finish, but the sides and back are matte material. Honestly, the glossy sides and back looks way better then the matte material, and also the glossy gives a better grip. IMO, go for the bestskinsever total body gloss protectors..those are the best

Uh, I wouldn't want that. hah.

Few questions for some owners..
1) The site doesn't advertise being oleophobic, but do fingerprints show up pretty badly?
2) Has anyone tried this case with a slim case such as the Rinke or Nillkin? It wraps around the edges pretty tightly and am wondering if the Maru glass extends that far.

Mine should be at my office waiting for me on Monday. I'll post pics if it works on my bumper lol.

From this users experience it doesn't seem to be anti fingerprint http://www.reddit.com/r/nexus4/comments/1e2fzi/maru_labs_tempered_glass_screen_protector/ca2qhpr

I received mine today.
It does leave fingerprints.
Sensitivity does go down a little.
Cases I've tried on: (I've put this on for only a couple of seconds to see if it would fit or not. I don't know if it would cause an issue for extended use)
Ringke fusion - seems to fit, looks good.
Poetic atmosphere - seems to fit, looks good.
Nillkin leather flip - fit good.
Poetic borderline - It does not fit. I can't put it on with the protector on.
Poetic slimbook - fit good.

Oh god, does it just come a cheap little padded envelope? I'm worried about the condition of my protector now too.

Nope, It came in a flatten box. (well mine came in flat with no other padding or bubbles)
It only came with the protector only, no cleaning cloth.
