So I have been looking for a screen protector for my new Nexus 4. I came across a lot of reviews and stuff just to be sure not to buy something LOW quality and waste money on that. I met a friend of mine who is using a Samsung Galaxy S4 and wasn't using any case for it. I asked him if he is not scared of his phone getting scratched or something and he showed me his phone and said that it had a screen protector from GadgetShieldz already (which was nearly invisible until I held it in my hand) and he doesn't need to worry about it.
So as I came home I looked at the GadgetShieldz website. I was pretty amazed by the introductory videos so I just went through and ordered the "Maximum Protection with Case Optimized Screen Protection" and waited for it.
My package just came today and I applied the protector as guided on the website. The results were FLAWLESS. The cover just fitted perfectly on the back and on the screen as well as on the sides. Here are a few pictures of my phone with the protector.

Overall I HIGHLY RECOMMEND going with this screen protector and helps you guys choose.
Couldn't see any screen protector on the phone through the pictures xP..
Thanks for the review.
Just one question, the protector have the sticky feel like Zagg/Xtremeguard kind of protectors?
Thanks and sorry for any mistakes in my English.

That's the point actually! Cannot even see the protector without focusing really hard. No it doesn't have a sticky feel whatsoever and m pretty happy with it

Thank you!
Yeah, no. I'd stay away from gadgetshieldz after my recent spat with them (over my iphone screen/body guard, I have a nexus 4 and an iphone 5)
The problem I faced was (were rather) : the body protector doesn't cover the entire side, it leaves a tiny gap (around 1mm each side) . So your body (and rear) protector have to be centered perfectly (OCD issues?).
Now this doesn't LOOK bad but when you pick up the phone you can FEEL the screen guard cutting into your hands. Now that's not good is it?
To top it off I complained to gadgetshieldz and asked for a refund but they said they could only offer me a replacement (contrary to what they say on their website)
I complained on their facebook page but my post was eventually taken down when me and a couple of my friends who saw the problem posted there.
I made another post and the admin (of the facebook page) flipped out and started calling me names and even went on to say : "I'm beginning to think you were hired by a rival company to defame us" and he said things like (which I laughed about) "Gadgetshieldz is used by millions if not billions of people worldwide"
I mean seriously? Their page is probably run by a 12 year old who's always high on redbull or something.
My advice : never buy gadgetshieldz, they're the worst out there (in terms of customer support atleast)

Any Idea's of where to find them? i had one with my G1 and loved it.
same i want one but body glove dont make it yet.. hopefully they do soon
Best cases out there are the naked cases by case mate don't know if they plan to make one for nexus or not sure hope so. Hate not having any protection at all!
I had a body glove case for my MyTouch and it broke within about 4 days. Was really disappointed I paid $20 for that thing =\
Any hardcore protection case would be nice at this point. This slide in case that came with the phone just ain't cutting it.
^agree, I need a metal case to protect this work of Art!

If your MyTouch went unscathed from whatever broke teh body glove case then you should not be dissapointed as you did not break the phone. While it should not be a one-time thing, the case may have protected the phone as intended.

The part that latches on to the belt ripped, wasn't from a drop or anything like that.
Great looking Case! - but it's only a tease for now
I came across this site that makes some really *SLICK* cases for the ....other phone....
too bad, but maybe when N1 hits a few million sold, they will do a similar design for the N1.

Yeah those are very nice. However, they appear to be hardcore Apple. But maybe if they got enough Email requesting they would consider?
That case is soooo perfect I want one so bad.. I sent them a message via contact us telling them they should make one for the nexus one and I also sent them a link to this thread everyone that would like one should definitely send them a message

I ain't going to lie. i've went through two body glove cases on my G1 and both broke the same way. The little plastic clips the held the case to my phone snapped off after time. As far as protection goes the case did a good job quite well and body glove has proven to me that they are good phone protectors. They just need to get better in other little areas.
As per subject really.
I've currently got a gel type case, does the job as it should, but you only realise how much bigger it makes the phone look when you take it off (!)
The only 'slim' case I've seen is the barely there (in my opinion it is clearly there!).
I know the iphone 3Gs has an extremly slim, transparent case, that covers all for edges of the phone. Now that one is a true 'barely there' case!
Anything similar out there for the Deisre?
AFAIK there's nothing slimmer than the "barely there".
I ordered an ebay (way cheaper) version of the Barely There because it looked great and also have a sick design.
A lot a members said it's thin and dope (yes, the case is on... even if you can't really see it, hence the name ).
It even comes with an extra screen protector so you don't have to worry about screen scratches.

Yep, I've seen these on eBay too, I wasn't overly concerned about getting it cheaper but more for the points I described in my original post- i.e something that covers all four edges (with cut outs) and it needs to be transparent.
Please be careful with the cheap ebay ones. Bought one for my girlfriends blackberry, but the dye used to colour the case rubbed off on her hand and face, and eventually permanently stained her phone.
Cheap cases are rarely worth it.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I too was in the same situation as you. Had a gel case but still wanted the phone to be slimmer.
So I bought one of these. The full body one:
http://www.bestskinsever.com/htc-desire-skin
It's very good and can put it in my pocket and not worry and not be bothered about putting it down on hard surfaces too. The only thing is doesn't offer is protection from being dropped.
Phil
Ok, so received all of them yesterday and they're great.
Unlike what wnp_79, there's no problem with them, no dye, really great touch feeling.
I won't pay 15 or 20 euros, from companies who are buying then same stuff from HK and then selling it back 10 times higher.
I paied 6 euros for 2 cases and they're great
Hard slim case + 1x screen protector:

Flexigrip soft case + 1x screen protector:
http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270586284031&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I think it because of the two tone of the Desire (light grey on top and dark grey on the bottom) that makes the 'barely there' cases stand out a bit too much.
I suppose if there was transparent one available, I'd give it a go.
EDIT: Oh this seems promising:

Found a great website for skins http://www.gelaskins.com/store/skins/phones/Samsung_Omnia_7
Theres alot of pre set artistic skins and if you cant find what you like you can create your own custom one on the website
I live in Ireland and it took two weeks to get it from the USA. Though you can opt in for express delivery that costs more
The skin is very nice and HQ. Solves the lack of grip on the handset and protects from scratches So pretty happy that i can ditch my sillicon case that adds on thickness

Awesome mate! where'd you get it?
Address above www.gelaskins.com
These look great , can you describe how they fit please ? (can't work out exactly what they are)
Cheers
They come on a sheet of vynil with
Like a template. Its like applying a screen protector for the rest of the phone. It takes a bit to get right
Just dont push it down as soon as you apply the vynil cause you will need to take it off and reapply to make it straight and stretch to cover up all the places correctly (i can guarantee that) Took me 5 mins and i was taking it easy

Sounds great . I bought a slightly slidy case like another in this forum which is good but this sounds much better . As long as it helps with the grip issue
Yeah since it doesnt increase the size of the phone dramatically like a plastic case would

Aye that's the attraction for me , ordered the "mod" one
I hate plastic cases, they make a high end phone look cheap, I always get gelaskins for my devices. This is mine:
Mine arrived today , will fit it later on or tomorrow
FANTASTIC! I want order immediately two.
@evolutionqy7
your gelaskins provides a screen protector or front cover should be mounted over my current screen protector?
No screen protector
Id say just put it over the actual skin
My screen protector covers the whole face of the phone, so I put the skin over it.

My new skin from gelaskins... made by myself
That looks so cool I need to get me one of those Eboy ones
I order one yesterday.
But i have a question, if you put a screen protector and the this skin, the butons responde good???
2 plastic over the butons maybe are excesive, ¿?
Other method is cut the screen protector and adjust to fit with the screen, i will try it
Hi all,
Well I have just had the screen of my phone saved by a tempered glass screen protector I bought off eBay for $10.

Now as you can see from the picture I am in the market for a new one. I can buy another one from eBay but was wondering if it is worth investing in a more expensive one such as the Amzer Kristal for $30. The problems I had with my now broken protector was that it was pretty heavy (around 10 grams or so) and it made my fingerprint scanner not work.
I appreciate any suggestions and experiences you can share. Cheers
Tapped It!
Get the $2 ones. I just got one shipped from China for 2 bucks total. Its awesome. I didn't expect much, but it is really smooth, thin, and was easy to install. I haven't had any problems with the finger print scanner. It might even work better, but I'm sure the mileage will carry with user. I never use the fingerprint scanner. I'm not sure of the weight, but now that you mention it my phone does feel a bit heavy.
I haven't used one of the name brand ones though. I'd be curious to hear from someone who's used both.
I bought one from the Verizon store when i purchased my phone and I am very satisfied with it. Much better than normal screen protectors.
Good save. I'd go for the cheap ones on ebay. I got mine from there, nice and thin, feels like the screen, can't complain.

Weird it sounds like even the cheap ones should work with the finger scanner but mine didn't. Did yours come with the little nub to put on the home key too? I think I might have to spend a little bit more just to try to get a lighter one. Using the phone now without it I realize just how much heavier it felt with it. If anyone can chime in with what they're using I appreciate it.

I like Zagg Glass. It comes with lifetime warranty.
Glass Screen Protector
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IKRHCCY/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Best ever!!!!
Edit: I woud clean very nicely...like veryyyy good with stuff it comes with nothing else, and use a suction cup to line it up and drop it! It self adheres, looks dope while doing so, best expierence I have ever had with putting one of these protectors, glass or plastic!
Non-Glass Protector
jacobclause said:
I know it's not the glass one, but I have an amfilm screen protector. It's a really great value for what it is, and it last for a really long time. I know people like the glass because of the really good feel, but this has it too. I think that it's a terrific better option to the glass.

Now you you wanna talk plastic these are the best....http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I7Y6P2S/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1and if you post review on amazon they send you another package free!
i'm using spigen privacy tempered glass, suits well and no fuss with the fingerprint scanner
Right now I'm testing and reviewing the Zerolemon one. So far I really like it and it's under 10 bucks.

Hello guys.
Im enjoying my edge plus (except jerky scrolling thanks sammy engineers ). I ordered a "clear case" from a local tech store in turkey last week. It had some scratches and some blemishes (like dust "in the" glass). Then I returned it today and opened a couple more cases and all have same kind of faults.
Then i went to a samsung store, result was the same.
So be careful with these cases. Dont know weather it is a local issue or affecting all the products.
Now Im searching for this kind of cases which wont effect the beauty
According to three local shops here in NL Samsung did a massive recall of the first series Clear View Covers and replaced them with a revised version that apparently solved the scratching.. The version I bought today definitely looks different from the first generation I had on my normal S6
I also wanted a clear case to be able to see the elegant color of my phone and especially the edge yet I got an Arozell case from Amazon [ http://www.amazon.com/dp/B014GGOJUU ]. It's not a cheap material. My phone feels protected. This a tempered glass is all my phone needs. This case is absolutely beautiful. From the package that it came in to the case itself. I have to say that this is definitely the most wonderful case I have seen. It's very classy and elegant. The leather on feels very good and sturdy. Covers the phone in the all the right spots.
Notice: I have another two clear case and both get dark yellowed after 2-3 weeks later, yet Arozell clear case keeps the crystal transparency all the way after 3 month usage, I am really overall happy with this case.

Not at all, many people of the same worry yet it really do good job on protection, and there no one reflect this problem on their response....
