XO Skins

Well, I received my XO skin screen protector today that I bought with my 55% off coupon code. But it turns out, they actually sent me the screen protector AND back protector, for the same price of $6. This happen to anyone else? But yeah. Loving it so far. Haven't turned on my phone yet, I did cringe a bit at the amount of application fluid entering the speakers. Hope everything is okay So far, I haven't noticed any orange peel texture on the protectors. They don't have too much friction, so it's not like you're sliding your finger across a piece of rubber. It does repel fingerprints like they claim they do. I think the screen protector IS worth the normal price of $12. So yeah, I give it a big thumbs up.

I got mine too. It's VERY good quality to my surprise. I also bought the XtremeGuards ones and XO is much better in quality. It doesn't have the "orange peel" effect and just feels smoother as your swipe across the screen.
Anyways, you'll love it and good luck!

i've used XO before on my OG Evo4G and it was great! no yellowing or nothing however I'm also considering tempered glass screen protectors like SGP'S GLAS.t... so which one would be better? and why?

I'd say stick with XO. Tempered Glass seems to peel off over time. Plus it's wayyyyy more expensive. But if you have the spare cash then you can give Tempered Glass a shot.

55% Off Code!
Just got the full body protector using google checkout with code cybermondayftw for about $12 (Originally $22)

whats the difference between case fit and full body? in term of the cuts

I got the full body one and its..... full body lol... jkjk so for the front it covers 99% the whole front glass, and for the back it have some gaps between the camera and the protector, and the speaker and camera. For the case fit I heard that it's smaller in size to leave space for say like bumpers or cases

Just got a front cover in the mail, waiting to see if I can live with the buzzing before I apply it.

Applied mine in the bathroom last night (heard steam from a shower helps prevent dust?).
How long should I leave it? Been about 12 hours now. As the OP said, the only concern is the amount of fluid you get in the speaker.
The fit was perfect, measured right down to the mm. I might due to human error be a tiny bit off, but it's lined up as well as I'll probably get it without being obsessive.

I ordered the full body one before the Nexus 4 was released.. Love the product except my back piece doesnt have the speaker cut out. Contacted them twice and have been told that there should be 2 on my at no cost but we will see

You really don't have to leave the phone off for long. Just really light use for a day to not let it heat unevenly

I just applied mine and left it for an hour. Then I turned my phone on to check my speaker. They're perfectly fine But yeah, I only left it off for 1 hour, and it was already solid on it. But it was probably still drying a bit more.

Mines has dried with some streaks. Best way to describe are thin say 0.5cm horizontal lines, which reflect colours in certain light. Instructions say streaks should go away in 24-48 hours, its been over 24 and they're not budging yet.

I've also noticed where my GF used a stylus earlier there are trace marks of it on the skin. She wasn't applying any real hard pressure... I wouldn't expect such indents to be perminent to I'll keep an eye on them.

MiniGuard Screen Protector Review [With Pics]

I recently purchased the MiniGuard Screen Protector (HD Clear) and thought I'd share my experience with it so far. All I can say is two thumbs up. This screen protector does NOT hamper the writing at all!! It does add a bit of resistance which is expected but I found that the added resistance actually helps because it makes writing on the Note 8.0 feel more like paper and more natural.
Furthermore, the cutouts are great, very rarely do I see screen protectors have such great cutouts (even around the button). Next to the writing, I drew several lines to show that the resistance of the S-Pen remains intact (note the fading and the thickening of the stroke). Check out the pics below, I definitely recommend this screen protector.
It can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BXQUQ9U/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Pros
-Great cutouts
-Does not hamper S-Pen
-Added resistance actually helps
-Super clear
-Smudges noticeably reduced than screen without the protector
-Easily applied, no bubbles at all
Cons
-None that I can see
10/10!
Finally..yes I buy a lot of accessories for my electronics because I like to have them looking pristine and new even after a long period of use- expect more reviews haha

Thanks for a review. Good to know that S-pen still works brilliantly.
Now I have to find a similar Protector in my country, hope its as good as this!

If you find some in india please report here.
Also are there any Case available in India for Note 8?

It's slightly cheaper at Newegg, but the review there says the screen protector gets scratched up by the s pen (for the clear). But there are three in the package, so I'm going to try the anti glare ones.

I wonder about the differences in writing styles, particularly regarding how much pressure (or not) a given person applies while writing? If one writes with a "heavy hand" that would be more likely to "dig in" to the screen protector.
@JokeZony0u: How would you describe your writing style? Do you "bear down hard" when you write, or otherwise put a lot of pressure on the pen, or do you think you write more moderately?

Let us all know how your experience with the anti glare ones goes. I tend to like anti glare screen protectors, so long as they don't dampen the visual image under normal conditions (ie, make it too hazy).

Hey appreciate your support for the reviews!
Typically I write softly and don't apply that much pressure. So far I haven't had any scratches from writing on it, and I have been writing very often for notes in class and work
And like kisrita said, there's 3 in the package. So if one scratches, just switch it out. Also it isn't so bad to scratch a screen protector, that's what it's there for!

Cool, good to know.

Nice review!
I've had this protector as well for ~2 weeks now, and without going into too much detail, it could be the best protector I've ever used on any device.
Easy install, great spen/screen response, clarity, etc... Not to mention you can't beat the price.
I've taken a good deal of notes and have not seen any scratches yet.

Do you only use it with the supplied spen or do you use other stylus' as well? If the later do you prefer a plastic nib or rubber? I've heard of issues when using a rubber tip with a screen protector as it can leave marks...
Thanks for the review. It's on my shopping list now anyway (although like another poster, I am from the UK and a quick google shopping search came up with no results but its $9.95 shipping cost from their site).

I love the review the protector is pricey but I guess it has really a great quality :good:

How has your experience with the anti glare version been? How is visibility (eg, does the anti glare make the display more dim, less vibrant, etc.)? How well is the S-Pen working with the protector?

Sorry, I still haven't gotten around to installing it. I hope I find some time in the next couple of weeks and will report back then, but I have so many parallel projects going it may have to wait. (I have 4 devices with 3 different types of protectors and a dusty house that is forever in the middle of home improvement so I've been putting it off till I can find enough time to do all of it properly.)

That's very understandable. Thanks for letting me know! I'm going back and forth about whether to get a screen protector or not, but if I do anti-glare is something I'm considering (particularly for outdoor use).

I ordered this same screen protector and received it yesterday. So far I am really liking it. It gives enough anti-glare to be useful rather than annoying, colors are still very vibrant and the very slight bit of resistance it gives to the s-pen is very welcome. Iwould say it is like writing with a very smooth ballpoint pen on glossy paper. It has made my handwriting better and therefor fewer mistakes that need to be corrected. Highly recomended!

Hey, just to clarify: Did you get the Anti Glare one or the HD Clear one? I would assume Anti Glare since you mention that, but I'd just like to be sure. There are a lot more reviews for the HD Clear type and some of the few reviews for the Anti Glare are not so positive (eg, one reviewer complained of the S-Pen leaving scratches in the screen protector). I think I'd prefer Anti Glare though. Thanks!

Yeah the guy sells them in the UK and posts worldwide. Will need to do an in depth review since no one seems to have heard of them. I should receive them either today or tomorrow.

I've got one on my n4. Good full screen coverage, really easy to apply. Quite gummy in use, but not too bad. I've got it on front and back. Only problem is that my poetic bumper case makes the corners and edges detach so I can't use it anymore. I do prefer the size without the bumper, but its a shame I can't protect the sides.

EDIT - I refitted the protector as I had an annoying small hair stuck under it. I got it more central this time and the poetic bumper fits fine with no edge raising or affecting the adhesion. I've tried a couple of different wet types on other devices - this one is by far the best.

I've just fitted one tonight on my LG G2. Will post in a couple of days what I think of it. At the moment it looks a little pants but that may just be down to the way I fitted it. :laugh: Lots of bubbles that I'm hoping will disappear in time. Back looks great though.

I'm generally pleased with my screen knight however I wonder if anybody has tried to take one off ater it's dried out. I'm a little concerned it may not lift well?

Thanks for the tip, I'm also going to try out this one.

I hope I'm wrong but I think this will add bulk to the phone which might be an issue for some if not most cases/bumpers, specially if you are already using a front glass protector. Again I really hope that I'm wrong and look forward to seeing any pictures/video reviews of the item from the community.

"bulk" ? It's .5mm!

After having the front one from them which is .4mm I found that it adds a little (for lack of a better word) bulk to the phone. The cases/bumpers would normally have a nice lip around the phone so when you put the phone face down the screen would never touch the surface but with the front glass SP that nice space that the lip would create would be diminished because the cases/bumpers don't go on top of the glass SP but right next to it pushing against it, so in my head I'm thinking that having that in the back or having both in front and back would be a bad result. Maybe I'm not explaining myself right but it makes sense in my head :silly:

Hey I did receive it a while ago. I had some complications with it. When I applied it to the back of my phone it made it look really weird... It looked kind of like there were air bubbles underneath and looked kind of smashed on the bottom. I removed it to see if I applied it again if it would look different. Same thing. I was a little disappointed about how it looked and took it off. The bottom where it appeared to be smashed wasn't actually smashed. It was part of the adhesive that was not sticking to the glass. The entire back of the protector is a thin layer of adhesive. I ended up peeling the adhesive off the screen protector. It was kind of like a double-sided, thin, sticky piece of rubber, if that makes sense... I'm sorry I don't have pictures. I love xgear products but this is the poorest experience that I've ever had from an xgear product (really the poorest experience I have ever had from any product i've bought for my n4) . I think maybe if the adhesive was only on the edges like it is on the screen protector it would have been better. I think the air bubble looking effect was from the adhesive sticking to the phone... I don't want my money back or a replacement if it was even possible. My phone was very very clean before I applied it, I understood fully what I was doing when applying it. It just wasn't a great product at all. I still love xgear though.
Edit: Oh and to answer the question about the official nexus 4 bumper, Yes it will work with this. Also, shipping was very quick.

Wow so sorry to read that you had such a poor experience with it. That sucks!
If at all possible, could you take a few pictures of the screen protecter and the adhesive that was bubbling up? Thanks!
Sent from my Nexus 4

Could be possible that it was a bad batch?
Hopefully someone will upload some photos soon!

I thought the full clear no border tempered glass protectors had the same rule as the dry screen protectors. Namely that you get the bubbles out that you can and then the rest come out after 24-48 hours. If you look at the installation instructions on the clear protectors for other phones I believe that is correct.

How did you removed it?
SENT FROM MY RAGING NEXUS⁴ ?

I've already thrown it away. When I say it looks like air bubbles I mean something different. They weren't air bubbles at all. That's just the best way I could describe it. You can remove the protector by just prying it off from one of the edges..
I should have taken pictures but I was so disappointed I just threw it away. It was a really weird issue. If you have the money to spare try it out yourself. I love the idea of the protector but I won't be buying another one. I wouldn't even want one if it was free. I don't think it was defective... I think it was just the way it was made. And just to make it clear I'm not wanting to make the company look bad, I myself just wasn't satisfied with the product. I love xgear and the screen protector I bought from xgear that is on my phone right now.

Otterbox preserver or lifeproof.

I am in the market for a waterproof case. I love having multiple cases and this is one i dont have. I have been looking at both the lifeproof nuud and otterbox preserver. They both look like really nice cases but I'm worried a bit about sound quality. I really like the fact the lifeproof doesn't have a built in screen protector but read on amazon, like I'm worried about, affects sound quality. I was trying to find the OB on amazon but the only one listed is at 339$ and doesn't have any reviews.
My question is what are your experiences with either case. Thanks for the feedback guys.
Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.

Ordered this thing with some trepidation when it first came out.
Waterproof YES
Great protection YES.
Touch functions work well YES.
Sound out - listen to music or calls Yes and quality is okay.
Sound in - speaking on calls - nearly inaudible to person on the other end!
If you use your phone as, well, a phone you MUST use some bluetooth headset/mic or it's a no go.
I was really hoping that this wouldn't be the case, but figured it would be - as virtually all 'waterproof' cases for any device I have just cannot transmit VOICE sound 'IN'.
But hey it is waterproof and provides superp protection. I'll just have to remember to put the case on before I need it.

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah I was looking at that one as well like I said. I've always had good luck with otterbox. The only thing I don't like about in comparison to the lifeproof is the LP is 6.6ft @ 1hr while the OB is only half an hour and then OB has a built in screen protector. I really hate built in screen protectors.
Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.

I've got a lifeproof nuud and I have no complaints. The first one I bought, I had the sound issues that other people on this forum has had. I replaced it and the call quality was damn near crystal clear. I recently had to get a warranty replacement because my USB port cover broke off, and the new one I have now works perfectly also. Another thing that really stands out is their customer service. I called to see where I could buy additional screen protectors and they sent me 3 for free. This last time I called for a replacement, they sent me a brand new case in the box with really no questions asked. I haven't worked up the balls to put my phone underwater yet because I had a bad experience with a casio g'rock when I tried that. But I'm sure it'll come. I recommend giving the lifeproof nuud case a shot, I doubt you'll be let down. I know I wasnt.

As much as I like cases I think I'll buy both. I just bought the nuud on amazon for 50 and next day Aired it for like an extra 4 bucks. Stoked about it arriving and once more otters pop up on amazon I'm going to buy one of those as well.
Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.

I've had both. I started with Lifeproof and went through two Frē cases because of the bad audio quality. I then went with the Preserver. I've been through two of those as well. It's an awesome case, but the mesh covers on the speakers tear off within a few days. My second one only lasted a day in tact before getting ripped off just by pulling it out of my pocket. I took the first one back and got a refund from Walmart, and still have the replacement from Ottetbox. I just super glued the mesh back on.
I gave the Lifeproof another shot with the Nüüd case and couldn't be happer. Call quality is great, and no screen protector to get those Newton rings or "rainbows" between the glass and screen protector.
If you go with the Nüüd but want to buy in store, pick it up at Best Buy. They honored Amazons price of $52.99.

Hell I started out paying $100 from Verizon with the water protection plan. After getting screwed around about wanting to return the case because it was defective, I ended up only paying $60 for it. $50 is a he'll of a deal

The Obex is the only one I haven't tried. I even gave the Incipio Atlas a spin for a week.

The Incipio doesn't close properly with the battery cover of the phone on. If you take it off, it closes, but the screen cover doesn't contact the screen properly and loses touch sensitivity. Also, the tempered glass protector has the worst rainbowing effect imo.

So far the Lifeproof gets my vote as the best for me. I absolutely love the overall design of the Otterbox, but the speakers are a big design issue. If they come up with a fix, it'll be a hit. Out of all of them I've tried, I felt the most protected with that one. Speakers and button response though, hats off to LP.

I agree. I love my obex case. Very secure and keeps your device safe. Very waterproof, I literally run my phone under water to clean it. Screen very responsive. Only issue is the capacitive buttons take a getting used to. Require a bit more finger coverage.
About the nuud, I've read countless reviews about people saying it leaks. Totally not cool. Lol. I really suggest the obex case. Had it about a month with no major complaints.

I have the white / grey cause I don't like dark colors on my phone as they absorb sun light and heat up your device. But they are designed very nicely. Only downside is the white rubber seems to absorb the dye from my jeans xD prolly can clean that up with bleach tho.

Lifeproof build quality for the s4 cases are crap. If I could do it over again I'd probably get that liquipel thing done to my phone and get a cheap case and still come out on top.
