Anyone used these? I have heard good things... I'm thinking this combined with the bumper would be a great combo.

I just put a front and back screen on my Nexus two days ago. They are ok but there is an orange peel texture to the protectors that is hard to ignore. I am going to leave the one on the back because I also have a diztronic case and this will keep the back clean. I have already ordered a couple others dry apply shields and I will remove the front zagg when they come in. If zagg was making one of their HD shields I would use it, but the regular is too "sticky/rubbery" and too much orange peel. By the way I got mine for 50% off also.

Which of the dry-apply ones are best? I'm horrible with the "wet" kind and too OCD to have ones with bubbles/etc.

I have the Spigen SPG ultra oleophobic and the matt finish from Clarivue on the way. Those were some that seem to get good reviews. Should have them within the next week.

The Most Perfect Case EVER, and it's only $4 BUX!

Often times when a new phone come out, I take a chance and order a cheapy case on eBay for $2 and end up throwing away when it arrives due to it being cheap mis-fitting junk.
However, I came across the cases listed below from seller AccStation on eBay, and decided to take a chance. They sell them for $3.50 with free shipping (tho I had to pay tax since I'm in CA). It arrived and was like Christmas day. I'm not even kidding. I've had hundreds of mobile devices, and thousands of cases in my life, and this is hands-down the most 100% perfect fitting, most amazingly cut case I've ever bought, and it was only four bux! The camera cutout is EXACT, it's like the phone was dipped in the rubber. There's no lose\off-cut pieces. The shell is incredibly thin, and it's a material that doesn't stick to the inside of your pocket when you put it in and out.
I am ordering more from this seller to have as backups. Right now they're out of stock, so they raised the price to $100 to not sell any, but watch their website and grab them when they're back in stock. I can't even begin to tell you how impressed I am with the quality and fit of this case, it's as if my phone was dipped in the rubber, it just is 100% spot-on!

And no I don't work for this company, haha.
Bought what appears to be the same case in gray (clear frost smoke circle) from amazon for $4.99. The amazon seller was eforcity I believe. Case is amazing I have to agree.

Yeah, AccStation and eForcity are the same company... based out of Costa Mesa I believe. I think they're just an importer from china... and like most they get crap 99% of the time, but this is certainly one of the 1% when they got it absolutely right.
I ordered a 2 pack of those before I got my phone. I used it for about a week before switching to the Best Buy/seidio case. The TPU cases fit great , I just didnt like that they were flush with the camera lense so no protection if you laid it down on the back. Also (only happened once) I had the case bind up somehow and jammed the volume down key pressed. Im still hanging on to the case though, Im sure Ill switch back and forth between the two.
That would certainly explain the similarities. Hahaha. And I agree on the camera coverage. It just misses going past the camera to protect it.

Mine has about a 1mm protrusion around the camera so the lens doesn't lay flat against a surface. It's one of the reasons I preferred this case to any others. The camera lenses have a plastic cover over them to begin with, so they're fairly resistant anyhow. I just don't like how some cases add so much bulk to the back of android phones, mainly because of the camera.
I haven't had a volume key issue, that would be annoying.

Was able to get it to load, looks like this seller is selling them directly from China (no other explanation as to why it'd take 3-5 WEEKS for delivery).
I'd recommend waiting till AccStation on ebay or Accstation.com has them back in stock and order from them. Mine took about a week to arrive.
I used to use one of these for my old iPhone 3G. They do work pretty well. One problem that can arise though if you have a screen protector it can cause it to peel because of where the edges are.

I can refute this issue. I have a Zagg InvisiShield on mine, and it causes no issue. the case doesn't even touch the screen protector.
While on some models I can see this as an issue, the real question is the quality of your screen protector. A quality screen protector will not peel due to friction with a case. I've had cheap screen protectors that peel, and my last few phones I've gone with Zagg as they just stay on and I don't have to worry about peeling. To me it's worth the price. This particular case doesn't touch the screen protector in any way tho. I tried to take a pic showing it but without a DSLR I can't get in tight enough without blurr.

My friend had a zagg on his iphone 3gs and it peeled big time. I got another friend with an iphone 4 and he has the zagg. He says he has gone through a bunch of them because they peel at the corner where the camera is. I used to have a zagg too. It wasn't too bad. I've used bodyguardz and bestskinsever too. They are all about the same. Zagg is a little thicker I think with more orange peel though. I use bestskinsever now because they are less than half the price of zagg or bodyguardz.

Ohhh, we're talking about two different things. When I say Zagg I'm referring ONLY to the SCREEN protector product. I can certainly see how a complete skin\body cover would peel when putting a case on or off. I'm not sure why someone would use a complete skin and then also put a case on it, but hey, to each his own.
From past experience, 90% of people who ahve peeling problems with Zagg is because of improper installation. Most people who have Zagg don't ever have issues with them, but I've seen many peel where someone's fingers aren't wet when they install the corners, therefor it strips some of the glue from under the edge weakening the bond causing peeling.
Not sure why one would want to completely wrap their phone in a plastic lining... why not just carry your phone in a zip-loc bag? hehe. I guess there are those odd people who cover their couches in plastic too, haha
I'm only referring to screen protector as well...but the zagg for the iphone is the same front and back minus the whole for the camera.
By the way, my Inspire has a body skin on it from bestskinsever. I don't have a case on it though. It's nice carrying it around with no case. I got used to that when I put a body skin on my old iphone 3g.

Yeah I too prefer not having a case because most cases make the phone look too bulky, hence why I wrote this raving review I normally wouldn't since this skin adds almost no bulk.
Funny how those who say this case = bad because it doesn't protect the camera sufficiently go on to say that a bodyshield is good, which provides NO protection to the camera , haha
I didn't say it doesn't protect the camera sufficiently. Matter of fact, the only reason I would sport this case is if I do want to protect the camera. The other case that I like is the case-mate, but that is 20. I'm sure I'll pick one of these up though. I'd like protection when I go traveling on vacation.
Nice case. I almost bought one last week. Wish I had because the Body glove one I have sucks.

Steinheil Ultra Series Screen Protectors

Steinheil has their Ultra-Clear screen protectors available for the DROID Charge. I just ordered one and I'm hoping it works out better than the ZAGG Invisibleshield did on my Fascinate. See here
I put their incredible shield plus the ultracrystal screen protector on my Fascinate, and absolutely love it. The tacky feeling around the phone is nice for grip (especially with games) but still can slide in my pocket. And of course, the screen protector itself is smooth as glass.
Nice to see it coming out so soon for the Charge, it was weeks before the Fascinate's was available.
I swear by Steinheil. I love the way they glide onto the surface, no hassle and no bubbles.
Which version have people tested? I see they have 3 types.

I got the ultra-crystal as I didn't want any distortion to the screen and don't really care about fingerprints as they can always be wiped off.
I know I'm double posting, but I wanted to bump this to share. I got my screen protector in the mail yesterday afternoon and was able to put it on my phone last night. The ultra-crystal protectors are THICK, much thicker than I was expecting. Installation was fairly simple, didn't have to turn my phone off or anything, which is nice coming from ZAGG. There is no distortion to the screen at all, and you can barely tell that I even have a screen protector on it. I unfortunately got a small piece of dust that I can't get off at the bottom edge and that is the only place you can really see that something is covering the screen. Will see how it holds up over the next week or two, now that I'll be a little less careful since the screen won't get scratched.

I love it too, and the areas that weren't fully pressed down due to what I thought was dust disappeared, so I guess it just took a little time to fully fasten itself. The fit is almost 100% matched to the glass, so you really have to look to see that it's even there.
Looks like they are temporarily out of the Ultra Crystal. I was going to pull the trigger and that option is gone...
Edit:Well, it looks like the full-body shields ship with the UC screen protector, if you wanted full coverage.
Quick question: do these shields cover or interfere with the front-facing camera? From the illustrations, it looks like the shield covers the front camera.

It covers the camera, but the protector is completely clear, and although I haven't taken any pictures with the FFC, the image displayed on the screen when using it doesn't show any distortion.

They're sold out of their stock on sgpstore.com but I grabbed one off Amazon (sold by SGP Store, stocked by Amazon) yesterday with free shipping (got a compatible HDMI cable and TPU case with it to make $25) and it shipped today. They're only showing a couple left in stock then good luck finding one until they make more of them.

Where was that?! I just spent a good twenty minutes looking on Amazon for it and didn't see it anywhere...are these really worth the price? I assume yes, given the reaction you all have to Steinheil's products, but thought I'd ask.
I got the ultra crystal. I can barely tell it's there. Lots of finger prints... but I don't mind too much.
How does Steinheil compare to Bodyguardz, Zaggs, BSE, or clean protector?
I ask cuz I'm looking for full body protector? Plus does anyone have discount codes?
If you can wait a week or so just get some decent cheap ones off ebay like these
http://cgi.ebay.com/5-CLEAR-Screen-...238019?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a66966f03
I ended up ordering some of the ultra crystal from amazon and am very impressed.
I am less impressed with my skills, I managed to get a little piece of dust on my second attempt to apply... but other than that the thing is perfect, and my dust ended up being in a corner so i didn't want to waste another protector.
Definitely worth the money, all other protectors "ruin" the screen for me, its such a nice screen, but it still needs protection.
I had a good experience with Zagg, but hated the rubbery feel. So, I was looking into getting a Steinheil protector.
Any stores carry these like Best Buy does Zagg? Or is it online only?
I bought the cheap 3 pack from Verizon to hold me over and ugh. Super clear, but bubbles on the edges are almost impossible to prevent. I love the texture better than zagg, but there is some glare outdoors.
Is it possible to get these cheap ones on with the edges coming up? I ask because I don't think I ever seen a phone without the bubbles on the edges.

Ghost Armor, Bodyguardz or Skinomi

Did anyone try these wet screen protectors on Sensation? I'm thinking about putting either Ghost armor, Bodyguardz or Skinomi screen protector. None of the the dry protectors stick to the corners. I would like to know which one is the best and which one has less orange peel.
Edit: and no, I don't think this belongs in the found best screen protector thread.
I use PhantomSkinz. Pretty good. Check the phantomskinz thread.

Just had a look at the thread. I'm liking it..........
Phantom Skinz.....I'm using it now and its the best one I've tried. And I tried Skinomi...don't even bother with that one!
They are all pretty much the same so I would go with the lowest price. If your getting the screen only then that is Phantom skinz, if you want full body that is Skinomi. Make sure you search for the coupon codes for a discount because they all have one. I got the full body from Skinomi for $15 and it is great.
Bodyguardz sucks, im gonna give phamtom a try
For screen protectors, go phantomskins. I have skinomi on my viewsonic gtablet because I it was practically free. It's ok for free almost free lol. No experience with bodyguardz so I cannot say.
On my N1 I have the bestskinsever one. Great sp IMO. Currently on my Sensation, I have the OEM HTC brand ones and work and look fine. I had issues aligning it, but that's because the OEM one has really no margin for error!
Good luck and post pics of what you get.
Ghost armor was 20 bucks installed and if something happens they replace it for free. Crystal clear I must say. Bring Ur own micro fiber cloth to wrap Ur phone for a few days while it dries. They will try to sell u a pouch for $10. If u want to do it itself and put it on u could save another $5 but Prefer to spend the money and if it doesn't look right the guy has to redo it for free.

I just got the Skinomi and so far I am impressed. There were 3 bubbles on it the morning after I applied it, but just like they said on their website, two have already disappeared and the third one is barely visible. I tried the non-liquid as well and they don't work.
If I get discoloration or any other problems I will try the Phantom Skinz next. I only did screen, not full body, if that matters.
GadgetShieldz
I've tried several. Skinomi, Zagg, and a few others. With most of the others, zagg especially, there was an orange peel texture to the screen/body cover. It wasn't too bad, and it protected the screen and body of the device very well. iv'e used these types of skins on several different devices (phones, tablets, netbook screen). All of them cost about the same, roughly $15 ish, for the screen alone and the protection is really very good. For about $25 - $30 you can buy full body protection. Now here's the kicker....
I saw a post on here a while back about one called Gadget Shieldz, so I checked into it. I found that it only cost like $6.95 for FULL BODY coverage. So I decided to give it a shot. I placed my order.
They come from India so shipping takes like 2 weeks. When it finally arrived, I was waiting for a back cover replacement from HTC so I chose to apply to the screen only at first.
Application was the type that is fairly common. You get a small pan of water, with some soap added (baby shampoo is best about 3-4 drops) and run it a bit sudsy. Dip your fingers in the solution to ensure they're pretty wet, and peel the protector off its sheet. your fingers need to stay wet to avoid prints. Dip the protector in the solution and then apply to the phone. this allows you to slide it around easily to get it where you want it, then simply squeegee the excess solution to an edge where you have a paper towel waiting to absorb the excess. With the curve of the glass on the sensation, the plastic card feeling protectors would never lay just right, but this shield did.
The screen protector went on extremely well, has no orange peel texture. it's perfectly smooth, and looks great on there. When I got my other battery cover, I chose the one I wanted to use and applied the rest of the gadget shieldz to it. Let me say this... The precision of the cutting that they did for the skin was remarkable. They are perfect. The installation of the body shieldz is not for the squeamish. It requires crazy amounts of patience because of the curves and you have to hold the skin in place for a while. If you take your time to be extra careful, you will love the results.
The only thing I don't see is a warranty. Zagg is a lifetime warranty even if you screw up the installation where you only have to pay for shipping. With this one I can't find any information on warranty, but for $7 it's really worth it.

They suck if you are using a case, especially a TPU case. Most TPU cases (like mine) will push on the edges of the screen protector, causing them to bubble, very annoying. I put mine on today, and also ripped it off today.
Just installed mine. I'm anticipating this problem. The edges already seem like they are a little off the side due to a poor placement. So they won't likely stay in place. Not sure what I'm going to replace it with...
Rabble rabble rabble.
Just order one plus a generic clear plastic case. will let you know how they work together.
what clear case did you order? i been looking
I just ordered one for $3.90 total. Can't complain. Just wish I noticed it before I ordered the Zagg one. But thats ok Ill have a spare in case the zagg one craps out on me.
Sucks I only got 25% off of mine using the coupon code on Skinomi's site, but I may just have to get another one to have as a backup. I love the feel of it on the HOX. Feels much better than Zagg.
I installed mine last night. It is a pretty nice protector, the feel is great and it doesn't have much orange peel. In certain light you can tell it is there. But in terms of screen clarity it is invisible. Only gripe is that I installed it a tiny tiny bit lopsided so the edges are over the edge of the phone. When I put my TPU case on it bubbles up the edges. Just ordered another with this deal. Might have to exchange my device anyway since the screen is dimpling when I touch it.
for $4, sure why not
I ordered this a week or two ago. It's on my One X as well but I have a TPU case and the edges constantly bubble up
Want to go naked but I always end up scratching screen when I do. Might rock with no case.
Does it come with one screen protector or two?
In the past when I've bought screen protectors they've often come in packs of two which has been good as I usually screw up the first application.
Wet styles just come with one.

Any good Ebay Screen Protectors?

So ever since i got my one X i've been on a quest for a good screen protector. i started with cheapo ebay ones that were 6 for $2 but the edges lifted because it was a full screen protector and the quality wasnt great(they would scratch easily). I just recently bought the SGP screen protectors thinking because they were cut smaller i wouldnt have the issue of it lifting at the edges, but i still do. The quality of the SGP is good, it is not as fingerprint resistant as i had hoped but i still have the issue of it lifting. My gf has the Zagg HD on her phone which looks pretty good, does still have a bit of orange peel effect to it but otherwise covers a lot of the phone and does not lift at all because it is a wet application screen protector. I may have to buy one if i end up exhausting all other options, but till then i was wondering if anyone has found a screen protector they like on ebay before i pony up $30 for the Zagg HD at best buy
ZAGG HD, just do it
i wish i had bought a couple of those skinomis when they were .99 . i plan to use a case but from what ive seen the protector could work fine with a case

Those were apparently a bad batch and they wouldn't fully dry or something.
I just got an AT&T branded one from the AT&T store (I got 3 of them for $12) and they applied it for me.
I must say it is very nice. It doesnt have the lifting at the edges because it doesn't go all the way to the edge, it just goes to the extent of the flat part of the screen.
Its clarity is nice and it has a good matte finish.
I picked up the full front and back Zagg yesterday had AT&T throw it on mine yesterday. They put it on for free and I'm liking it.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
the original or the HD? the original zagg is pretty awful in terms of orange peel and how your finger sticks to it. rohan when you say matte do you mean the antiglare? how does the screen protector do with scratches, some scratch more easily than others and become pointless because youre looking at a screen covered in scratches

I've only had it on for a day so I can't really tell you much about its durability, sorry.
And yeah I mean antiglare.
I said this in another thread about the Zagg HD.... The HD is FAR better than the regular Zagg in that there is ZERO orange-peel effect and it doesn't go all the way to the edge of the display so a case of any type won't pull up the edges at all. I've always used Zagg shields and because I used to work for Best Buy mobile I have become rather adept at installing them. The Zagg HD also gives you that 'glass' feel as well. It's almost like having nothing on your display at all.

it does have some orange peel effect, nowhere near as much as the original but lets be real, its a sham. there should be no zagg hd, this is just an improved product over their original, unfortunately this is how businesses propose they make money. Make a better product and charge a premium for it. if it weren't $30 I would have had one the day it came out. i'd pay the original $15 zagg price but double that is just ludicrous LUDA!!!

You can get 3 xtremeguards for about $4, no clue on the quality though

Thanks! watched a couple of reviews on ebay, doesn't look like theres any orange peel in the videos. ordered 2 front for my one x and a front and back for my future galaxy S3
I always buy the cheaper ones from eBay that don't have the 'water' application method. Tried that once, never again. Bad results.
I go for the Hong Kong ones, or USA resellers of them since they are cheap and work great for a couple years or more. I use disposable gloves in a humid bathroom to apply so as not to get much fingerprints/dust. Works great most of the time.
I also get the soft silicon cases from ebay which usually wrap around the front enough to cover the edges of the protector so I haven't noticed any edge peeling so far on the screen protector.
