So yeah, here is the video for you guys
If it helped don't forget to :good:
Some guy told me you didn't get the pixelated or blurry effect on it, but you get it :\
It is the same as before :\
Any recommendation on a good screen protector? Doesn't have to be anti-reflex anymore, tired of it, they all blow I hear Spigen was a good one, but kind of expensive also..
All anti reflective protectors I have seen will produce a poor screen image, you need to get the normal ones. I have the atFolix ultra clear and its fine.

You where only trying to help, not being naive. I don't know if I can explain this correct but if if you feel the surface of a lemon or an orange it has a weird sort of greasy feeling. That is the case with almost all wet install screen protectors like zagg and body guardz. Although i believe body guards has dry install ones so if you are talking about that one, then I havent tried it yet.

It's not so much the feel of the screen I'm talking about, the screen protectors I've used mess up the screen's picture quality adding this bumpy look (similar to an orange).
It's really noticable on the G2x because of it's IPS display (i think).

I just bought one for my G2x, it's by XO Skins.
I can't even really tell its there at first glance. I mean, obviously I know though.
http://xoskins.com/ Search for G2x and you'll see full body and just screen.
I got the just screen one and it goes edge to edge. It does have a bit of a rubbery feel, but it doesn't bother me too much since it's not my daily driver anymore. :x
Just swiping you don't really feel it, but if you slow down, you can. I heard it goes away after a few weeks though.
EDIT: An important note is that this is a wet-apply protector, so you'll have to give it a bit before you go back into using the phone.
EDIT2: Here's some pics.
like stated above the one I use is a wet apply method and it is a ZAGG. it has a slight rubbery feel but you get used to it and it doesn't have the orange peel you are trying to avoid. plus it comes with a no questions asked lifetime warranty so if I take it off or mess it up they send me a new one free of charge
stay away from the Skinomi DryTech ones, I took mine off after a week because of the lousy feel-- plus some of the air bubbles never went away.

Skinomi TechSkin on the other hand is a different story. I don't care for the super-rubbery feel of some screen protectors either. TechSkin, in my opinion, is better. I think it may have to do with the thickness. The "orange peel" is minimal compared to say BODYGUARDZ (which I have used). I don't know, there's just something different. It seems clearer, feels more like a dry applied protector. That said, It is a wet-apply screen protector, and does have some of those undesirable qualities. It's quality though puts it somewhere in the middle of those two types, and I really like it.
The orange peel effect can be due to low quality screen protectors or a bad application. I've had good luck with Zagg (but I hated the feel, so I returned it), Ghost Armor, and PhantomSkinz. Ghost and Phantom both feel great, but Ghost is a bit easier to apply. Had a few resistant bubbles near the edge of the PhantomSkinz

I e-mailed mediadevil asking if they were planning on releasing one with oleophobic coating, got this response...
"I'm afraid we're unlikely to release an oleophobic version -- some brands do use this material, however it does not meet our standards for several reasons. First, this material often has a blue tinge, and we only sell protectors that are completely clear. Second, it is much more likely to experience the 'rainbow effect', and third, while it does show fewer fingerprint marks, it has also been our experience that the fingerprint marks that do appear are more difficult to clean.
If you have had a different experience with oleophobic screen protectors, we'd be very interested to hear about it, however at the moment we have yet to find a material that does not have these issues."

Nope, just good ole:
1. Clean the screen off (Make sure no dust, lint, etc are on the screen)
2. Don it on the phone and use the cam cutouts as guide.
3. I did get dust and lint after installation, I used clear tape to take off the sp a lil and used another tape to get those lint/dust.
viola..
took about 5-10 mins for me to install perfectly.
Screen protector and water
Hi Guys,
I bought a Krusell Frostcover and had a front screen protector installed today. I don't remember its brand, the shop assistant threw its packaging out. I remember it was sort of blue, and it had a microfiber cloth included...
I never had a protector before and I'd like to know how it reacts to water. I'm not planning to go scuba diving with the phone, but since it's water resistant, it will probably get sometimes. May it affect the film? Loosen it? Or no problem, unless it gets underneath it somehow?
Thanks in advance!

Ouch that sucks. My Gear 1 is still holding up fine after a year.
i have a custom screen protector on it so you cant see the scartch anymore , im gonna order a real one online probably ebay ill take a pic when i replace it .. the scratch is almost one centimeter long its very superficial you an only see it at certain angle .
and hey i was tempted to return it like that the guy may not notice it... it was bought at those stores where they dont ask many questions , I guess i just like the watch anyways with a stainless bracelet on it looks kick ass .
That is the very reason I have screen protector on. I can't hardly tell it is on and at least I know it won't get scratches.

Just to correct some incorrect information above. The Gear 2 AND the Gear 1 both had Gorilla glass 3. As we all know glass scratches when in contact with the right material (grit/sand). It won't scratch from a shirt cuff button or a jacket metal stud however.
You can always see which products use which kind of Gorilla glass here:-

That's unlucky. I haven't had my Gear 2 long, but it's still in perfect condition (almost). I guess I'll be extra careful from now on.

Yeah mine scratched as well. It was a minor scratch and it disappeared when I applied a zagg protector. Now the screen isn't quite as beautiful but this watch is really about functionality when it comes down to it.
On the plus side, you can't even seen that there is a protector on it at a glance. The edges blend well into the brushed metal.

My Note 9 has glue and I was very careful applying it. I can not assure you that it is 100% waterproof but it has received humidity from rain, wet tables, etc and I have not had a single problem. I gave it to my brother and he loves it. I think that being carefull it can be waterproofed.
Jerryrigeverything and the other guys who make transparent phones just do it to show but not for daily use. I am confident that my phones are sealled. Time will tell but the note 9 has been transparent por months and is perfect.

Yes. I saw it but I preferred the original look. It would be great if the original battery color was red but I do not want to touch the battery.
OP, I have a quick question. Isn't there some sort of black "card" that covers the motor for the front camera? I think it contains the NFC antenna.
Did you lose any functionality (other that waterproofing) by doing this? I only ask because, once I break my back glass (and I'm sure I will eventually), I'll probably do this as well.
Looks good btw.

I removed the black cover to be able to show the camera motor and the board. I just lost NFC which I never use. Everything else works as expected.
In a couple of days I will post new pictures with the back glass glued and I think that I can make it waterproof again or at least splash resistant.

I will take a photo of it later, but slickwrapz has a cork back piece that i've been using for about 2 weeks, it covers the whole back and feels super nice in hand and has been getting really great patina, it sits flush with the camera bump too, so that is a plus. I absolutely recommend it.

Interesting. Does it seem like it's insulating the phone's heat though? I feel like cork might be too much of an insulator and it'll keep too much heat from escaping the back side.
Also, any pictures?
