XO Skins

What do you guys think about this screen protector from XO Skins? http://xoskins.com/cell-phone-skin-protectors/google-skin-protectors/google-nexus-4-screen-protector

Had one for my G Nexus, EXTREMELY TOUGH... tested it when I removed it... (sending phone back to Amazon to refund for a nexus 4!)
It really is super tough.

I just ordered one the other day. I am hoping that it would get to me before the N4 arrives so that I do not have to worry about scratches on the screen. Read a lot of great reviews about XO Skins for different phones, and thought might as well try it. Hopefully it's not ~$14 down the drain.

Have a search on YouTube for tips on applying the skin, it makes all the difference! I searched for xo skin application galaxy nexus or similar... it's a breeze, really.

I have been researching them and it looks like this one is right for me. Apparently these don't have the orange peel look and I think these might be better than the hard/plastic protectors because I've gotten scratches quite easily. But they do seem like I don't have anything installed on them. I'm gonna give the XO Skins a try.

XO Skin is an excellent protector! I used to use one on my Nexus and I can tell you it's the best protector I've tried so far. No orange peel and the rubbery feeling goes away and feels quite smooth after about a week (or two? been awhile). Also the customer service at XO Skin is top notch, never seen anything better. Plus it comes with a lifetime warranty, why aren't you ordering it already?
Here's a reference to the XO Skin thread for the Galaxy Nexus if anyone wants to read up some user reviews on it:

Do XO skins sells cases for like when i drop the phone.
or do they just make for screens.

Do they make full body skins? Or at least a back (screen) protector?

As far as I know they only make protectors.

Yes they do, I ordered a full body one here:
http://xoskins.com/cell-phone-skin-...protectors/google-nexus-4-full-body-protector
They also do case fit versions too.

I won't use a wet applied skin protector if the screen itself is not in curve, why make it so trouble?
Although XO skin has very nice customer services (I returned 4 times...still getting a bad product, they gave me refund at the end), I was not impressed with their product.
Back to the Samsung Vibrant year, I use Realook clear SP which is really nice.
Do they still make nice screen protector now?
UPDATE:
Damn, just knew that the N4 STILL having curved glass but on the side.....................

I just ordered it ..

But is the full body protector from xoskins actually a front AND rear protector. I could find nothing on the website that actually confirmed that
I would like it to be a 2 piece (front and rear) protector, can anyone confirm this?

From my experience, 4 out of 4 of my XOskins have rainbow effect for either the whole screen or partial screen.....which stop me from getting one for Nexus 4..
But I see reply saying Nexus 4 is still a curve screen on the edge..
so is that really no way for a dry-apply one to fully cover it?

weird the ones i had for my gnex / iphone were mint / crystal clear at all angles.
did you use the solution from the box?
btw ordered another set for the n4 using sprintxo promotion code. Dont bother getting any other shipping other than the usps priority cheap kind. I usually receive their packages in a day or 2 From their office which is in seattle i believe to connecticut.
(actually they are based in utah)

I've seen a rainbow look while it was still wet. Sometimes it takes a few days to dry out.

About XO Skins.
I've put them on all of my devices without hesitation, or worry of something better. They've always protected my devices. I ordered one for my GS3 and it dropped it on the floor while applying.. Sticky side down. They sent me a replacement free.

[dry install]spigen sgp front and back protectors

Just in case anybody wanted to know SGP now has a front and back protector and they are dry installs for those who prefer it that way. They're 13.99 which is the same price that you got for the single front protector that they initially started selling. They come in both ultra crystal and and ultra oleophobic.
Here are the links.
Ultra Crystal

They don't feel like rubber. These are not vinyl like material like wet install protectors. They are a harder plastic. I have the front one and it is very smooth to the touch.

SGP's are the BEST screen protector known to man. The only reason I don't have them for this phone is that they weren't out when I ordered mine...

They are a dry install which means that once you start putting it down there isn't much room for error. They don't cover 100% of the screen either. They kind of miss out on the curved edges. They are much harder than the BSE and have little to no orange peel effect. They are defiantly flatter and thinner.
I'm sure there won't be any problems with any case because it doesn't go to the edge of the screen.

should work fine. I would say it's probably better than the wet installs. Only thing is some people might not like the front since it doesn't cover the entire glass due to the curves on the sides.

I had dual screen protectors when I had an iPhone 4 and a matte back makes it look and feel really nice. Hopefully Spigen makes a one matte and one gloss set, or I'll have to wait for eBay ones

Anyone have this that can comment on if this will prevent the back of my phone from sliding off of everything? I want to go without a case, but need something to prevent the back of my phone from sliding everywhere.
Also, anyone use it extensively with wireless charger notice it if messes up the screen protector at all?
Thanks!

Screen Protector?

So I'm under the impression that the glass panel that covers the LCD is not made of gorilla glass, meaning it would (in theory) scratch relatively easily. This almost certainly necessitates a screen protector, then.
However, I'm only able to find tempered glass protectors (which would be a great added bit of protection) atm, and I hate them because of the dreaded "halo effect" that totally defeats the purpose of the bezel-less display. I've been a fan of the "helicopter-polymer" screen protectors, as once they're stuck, they're stuck; however, I'm unable to find any of those.
I snagged some of the cheapo "transparent-film" protectors (only redeeming part is they give you like 6 in a pack), hoping that I'll be able to get those to stick all the way down around the edges.
Anybody found a screen protector they like?

watch the youtube video where the scratch test is performed. it is near impossible to scratch the screen. i can't see any reason to use a screen protector on this phone given that the scratch test performed as well or better than any other flagship device
edit here it is

Perfect fit but has the rainbow effect on the middle of the screen. It looks like it disappears as time goes on though. It's edge to edge no halo.

Hardness test proved the ceramic is an 8, and the glass screen is a 6 (supposedly on par with most other flagship devices, even though there's supposedly no gorilla glass. I've been using it as my every day for about 2 weeks now, and the screen is pristine. I would like a film protector, but if it interferes with the otherwise gorgeous display, I may just run naked.
The case on the other hand is, in my opinion an absolute must. I like the one that came with it, and it seems like it would be pretty protective. I have no intention of accidentally dropping my cherished device (nor testing to see, even though it's insured), but it seems like minor drops might actually be handled quite well by the OEM case.

The Best Screen Protectors for the Note 9

I know it's early but that screen need to stay protected.
I expect Whitestone to come with a glass and leave some impressions if you get any. How the case combability is.
But more curious about alternatives that does not involve UV light and LOCA glue also.

Just wanted to sign on and remind everyone to be careful on amazon with screen protectors... there have been so many fake review product pages recently - i bet there will be plenty of fake positive reviews in the coming weeks

Same here and keep Note 9 in a flip case. Prefer to spend money on case and not £40 On Whitestone solution.

I'm gonna go with the Zagg glass screen shield. Have one for my Note 8 and it works great. Full adhesive throughout so no issues with air gap and clarity is good. Expensive but I always end up buying 3 or 4 other cheaper ones that usually don't work, so might as well get a good one. Whitestone ones are good, but I hate the loca glue application process. Zagg one is way easier.

Waiting for IQ Shield or Armor Suit, the Spigen ones are in stock at Amazon now so I may order those early.

I've always had great results with IQ Shields. I like the matte, I know most don't but the HD clear ones are very good as well. I can't find anything for the Note 9 on amazon yet. Hopefully, there are a bunch of them coming out soon so I have something by the time I get the phone.

Had great luck with Armour Suit , works decent with the spen on my note 8. Until curves are gone I have given up on glass, just look at the whitestone dome thread in the note 8 forums. I dont want that kinda hassle. Might run naked also, depends on how the gorilla glass holds up to sand.

I also ordered the Dome Glass Full 3D Curved Edge Screen Shield. I got the 2 pack so if I mess up somehow, I have a back up.

So just ordered some of Spigens products. The Liquid Air and Neo flex. Since this phone is quite big the slimmer the better I feel

whitestone worth the premium?

I'm looking around for a tempered glass with decent touch responsiveness. do we know much about how well WSD will protect the screen vs other protectors? it costs quite a pretty penny. i was wondering if any of you had experience with cheaper ones that'll offer the same level of protection? this one (https://www.amazon.com/LK-Protector...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=YX5Y8Z1JQ3BMGQX5XTF8) is quite highly rated at amazon and has a fakespot rating of A. anyone tried it out?

The link you provided is a product that only has adhesive on the sides, don't waste your time there will be an air gap and the screen responsiveness will be garbage. Like you said those reviews are fake and you would be wasting your time and money if purchased. Yes the WhiteStone dome is expensive, but you get what you pay for. I have had mine installed since Launch and not a single issue, it looks and feels like there isn't even a screen protector installed. For a product that could potentially save your phone from breaking, why skimp out? Would you buy cheaper tires on your car that are much more likely to fail? No.

I do believe that the Whitestone is worth the price.
I have been using tempered glass screen protectors for a few years now and the Whitestone is much easier to install, bacause of the jig that comes with it.
I have installed the Whitestone on two Note 9s. One for the wife and mine.
The only issue I have is a minor one. It seems a bit of excess glue is around the edges and atractslint from my pocket.
The coverage and feel is awesome.
Once you buy the full kit that includes the UV light, only the replacement kit is needed for any other install or phone. The replacement kit comes with the jig, but not the UV light.
I refrained from purchasing a phon ewith a curved screen until this type of screen protector was available. I refused to deal with the ege only attached protectors.
It is a bit pricey, but I highly recommend it. After all, you are protecting a thousand dollar phone. Twice what I've ever paid for a phone.

My experience with the whitestone: It is ok if you dont mind the sharp edges when you swipe from the sides. In my case, air bubbles started to appear at the right edge. Whitestone sent me one replacement which I am trying to sell, because I don't see it working in my case.
Pros:
Clear;
Sensitive;
Warranty (although you have to pay for shipping);
Cons:
Sharp edges;
Air bubbles appear at the edges after some time, 2 months in my case;
The adhesive left exposed at the sides attracts dust/lint;

how do you get the glue off when removing? I bought a twin pack but the first is quite scratched

The glue is attached to the glass, not your phone. Once you begin peeling the screen protector off you will notice the glue is only on the screen protector and your phone is left clean.

does the whitestone dome work with the Note 9 included case? as im fairly happy with the included case for now, but i wanna get the dome screen protector if its compatible.

What is the included case? In my country there is no included case, but it is compatible with the samsung silicone case.

Oh what?! I didn't realise that. Well in Australia it comes with a clear rubber/silicone type case inside the box. I believe it's the same one samsung sell on their accessories page. So I guess it'll be compatible then, sounds like the same one you're talking about. Thanks

I think it's worth the premium. Been using it since S7 days and installed, I think 7, on friends/family phones. Killed itself for 3 displays from drops so far.

You're welcome!
A benefit of the vast research, conducted for the purchase of A Note 9 for the wife. Thru that and setting it up for her, I was so impressed that I got a Note 9 for myself. The 8/512 version, of course.
My first non rootable phone in about 6 years.
I am digging it!

I was really hesitant on spending $40 on a 2 pack of tempered glass. But after biting the bullet i couldn't be happier with the glass. It fits and feels great. Doesnt disrupt the touch sensitivity and keeps the premium feel of the phone. I hated that the cheap ones that only have adhesive on the sides and dot matrix on screen made the phone feel super cheap because it felt like you were touching a plastic screen.

be careful, however, if the phone falls and hits the glass film, it does not protect the display and breaks, it happened to me on note 8.
In other words, it protects only from the graff.

No tempered glass is going to protect your screen from cracking. It helps but doesn't prevent it if the hit/drop is right.

If you want a tempered glass screen protector then the only option that works well (IMO) is the Whitestone Dome. The issue is (and I've tried many times) with Whitestone Dome is that the sides of your screen protector may get tiny bubbles even after you think the install was perfect. Mine showed up after a day and spread to the enter left and right side of the protector.
