Best skin protectors

I have tried out many skin protectors for my Nexus one, but none of them made me happy ! Fingerprints and dust keep on sticking on the screen ! Especially after a call, omg the screen looks like someone just licked on it ! Can anyone tell me which screen protector is the best for the Nexus one according to your experience ?
Thanks in advance

Well, what I mean was just the screen protector, not the full body cover. Thanks for your reply though

Yeah, we talked about those as well there. For my money, I'm a huge fan of an eBay seller named dcmugen88. Someone else in this forum turned me onto his screen protectors. They're exactly the same as the Seidio/Martin Fields protectors as far as look and feel... but he sells a 2-pack for less than $2.50 shipped! I initially bought a single 2-pack, and after trying it, bought 2 more 2-packs.

i think that the company xtreme guard makes the best screen protectors i hove one on my lg expo.

Any suggestions for a case and screen-protector ?

Hello there,
I ordered my nexus one couple of days ago, I want to be ready with all the peripherals needed.
Well, I saw some fine cases in Ebay and other private sites, but I could not find the specific sort of case that I would like to buy.
There are two main problems that I see in most of the cases out there -
1.They will not protect the screen in a case of a fall.
2.Too big or uncomfortable to use.
I`d rather buy a case that is going to save my screen from a crack, than one that preserves some scratches, so I need a good protection for the front area.
Secondly - I`d like it to be as slim as possible, and comfortable for an use at daily basis.
Plus - no rubber / silicone cases , only plastic/metal/silk+plastic/metal.
As for the screen protector,
I don`t know if they are that useful, I have seen that most of them reduces the quality of the screen / responsiveness of the touch screen,
will I get any benefits from a screen protector?
I heard good reviews about the next one :

Is it any good ?
Big thanks, I`m open for any sort of suggestions,
Danny.

not enough coffee in the system yet, sorry for the hasty reply. Not finding any conclusive info on the subject. I hope someone can chime in with a link to validate.

Since it has the contour display I'd say unlikely. Just like the Nexus S Corning stated the curved glass prevented it (this was some time back).

That's what I was thinking, if true while I like the contour of the screen, I would prefer to have a scratch resistant screen. I'm still getting it though, time to move up to the bleeding edge from my optimus-t.

I'd love to think they're on top of it...
I am led to believe that Corning DO make curved Gorilla Glass! (urgh I cant post links in my posts - could someone re-post?)

Both phones use Gorilla Glass for their large screens, so durability shouldn’t be a problem

What is with the lack of accessory coverage?

So my phone is going to be here with tomorrow along with the Adopted Protective Case for Nexus 6P (Carbon). I am wondering why there aren't many name brand manufactures with cases; such as otterbox or incipio, out for the nexus 6p? my best guess is that Huawei is new to the US markets to the case makers that dominate the US markets were not given the dimensions of the phone or whatever else they might have needed in order to make a case for a device. Yet It also occurs to me that Google, would have seen to the dimensions being distributed.
My primary concern is really screen protectors. I am really disappointed that Invisible Shield, a company whom I have trusted to protect my phones for the past 6 or so years didn't have a screen protector available for the device. They are usually ahead of the game and release screen protectors before the phone comes out.
So whats the deal here? Who dropped the ball?

I feel the same as you!

The cases will come in due time. The Nexus line doesn't sell nearly as many units as let's say the S6, Note 5 etc... so with that being said case manufacturers have less incentive to make something if its a low volume. Companies make money from selling large quantities usually since R&D costs money which is basic business. Otterbox makes ugly cases, and Incipio is questionable so I don't care about either one even though they were just examples. Some big names are making cases (Spigen, Speck, Adopted (usually only makes iphone/samsung cases), SUPCase etc..) I don't see any issues with the current selection

As Pilz states, the Nexus devices aren't as mainstream as other devices. So mainstream companies like Invisible Shield don't see as much of a gain from producing a product for our devices. Also, you have to take into consideration that the full hardware specs weren't fully released, resulting in a LOT of last minute revisions to cases and screen protectors (e.g. - blocked sensors).
Luckily, XDA has a nice community where we can create threads to give our input on specific accessories. In your case, I'd recommend going through the thread on Tempered Glass Screen Protectors to help you make your choice. I ended up going with IntelliGLASS since they were/are having a BOGO on their product with a coupon code.
Anyways, the phone is barely reaching consumer's hands right now. So as the month progresses, I'm sure we'll see much more options for accessories!

I totally agree. I remember being able to get the Zagg for my N5 almost right away. They have the cutting machine at the Zagg kiosk at my local mall, and they don't even have the template yet, so it doesn't seem to be a production issue.

Most of the top tier case makers tend to be Apple and Samsung only with a few other selected models. It's based on expected sales volume. And Apple and Samsung are number 1 and 2 in worldwide sales and have even bigger sales leads in the U.S. I've been using Otterbox Defenders since I carried a blackberry eons ago. Doesn't look like I'll get one for the 6P.
The sales volume of the Nexus 6P (and even the 5x) has taken most by surprise. Nexus devices had always been good, but somewhat quirky in the past. Not so with the new models. And they are priced to sell too.
As to timing, I agree the manufacturers should be making form fit dimension packages available a lot sooner. But the problem now for a company like Otterbox is that now that they are going to be late to market, does it make sense to make something have already lost a lot of the early sales they would have garnered had they been to market on time?

That won't be in stock ( the correct version ) until after the 9th...
"Hello and thank you for your recent Nexus 6P intelliGLASS HD order!
We here at intelliARMOR appear to have been using incorrect manufacturer specifications when producing our initial round of intelliGLASS for the 6P, and missed the mark with respect to cutouts for the proximity sensor and accommodation for various cases.
To remedy this, we have adjusted our design to be case friendly and accommodate the correct location of the proximity sensor (important for real glass). By the time you read this, the updated version will already be in production and we are on schedule to have these ready to ship out of our U.S. warehouse by November 9th. Any one who preordered intelliGLASS will receive the updated version (albeit with a slight delay). If you already received the initial version, we will setup a replacement for you completely free of charge.

Explains why it has not shipped yet

DBrand Skins - any good?

I'm looking at getting a 6P in the new year and am buzzing having read the reviews. I am, however, considering protecting this one as it is a lot of money to cough up in one go (it will be the first time in a while I have bought a handset outright instead of as part of a contract).
Has anyone got any experience with the DBrand skins? I'm considering one as they look like a good compromise between having my phone completely exposed (and likely to become damaged knowing me) or hiding it away in a big leather / rubber case (why have a nice phone when its hidden away?).
The photos on their website look nice (IMO) but I don't know anyone with one or who has had one. Do they mark / wear much? Are they easy to install?
On a side note, do people still use screen protectors? I haven't done for years as I always struggled to find one which doesn't start peeling at the edges after a week of use. Problem is I always end up with small scratches (nothing major but can be annoying). Do people generally just put up with the tiny marks on screens or do you use decent screen protectors?
Thanks

There are pretty good threads on the topics you listed.
dbrand stuff LOTS of pictures in this thread.
Tempered glass screen protectors. Much more popular nowadays since they don't cost upwards of $20-40 USD like they used to a year or two ago. My 2 cents, people are raving about intelliarmor like they're the second coming of Jesus, but they are just like any other company using a Chinese manufacturer for their stuff. Customer service is on par with other vendors in my experience in providing replacements. I've have zero issues with Supershieldz and every install I've done for myself and others are fine. Prices are also similar if not the same. You can find a two pack of Supershieldz on Amazon for $7-8 USD, I think.

You can't go wrong with dbrand regarding quality and customer support. You'll love it.

I am currently rocking a dBrand skin and Intelliarmor TGSP and both products are amazing.
As for the customer service of Intelliarmor, I can say that they are way above average. I got 5 protectors for the price of one because they provided me with free upgrades to the new versions every time I asked. Though the new edge to edge is not truly edge to edge but it does come in a 2 pack also. The cutouts are perfect though.
As for dBrand, they're not kidding when they say precision cut. There is basically no wiggle room, but the quality has been top notch so far. The shipping takes a while though if you are not located in Canada.
There's whole threads on these 2 products already on this forum if you want to know more or get some more pics.

can't go wrong with dbrand or slickwraps. same quality IMO

1. Please SEARCH before posting. There's already a large OP discussing dbrand skins with pictures, personal experience etc... You can find that OP here:

2. I am reporting this post so it can be closed because you created a new OP without searching.
