Issue with Zagg I-Shield

Hi
Ive recently applied a full body shield to my N1.
But the screen looks really bad after the install(pic). Tiny RBG color dots all over my screen when using the phone.
It has gone 5h since the installation and its the same.
Is this normal? My Magic didnt have this issue.
Thx in advance
(The pic is not bad taken, It really looks like this)

If you read the directions or any of the numerous posts on this very topic concerning invisibleSHIELD and other screen protectors, you'd know this is normal. Give it a day or two and it will magically clear up.

Allrighty. thx.
Mod, could you delete this thread?

24-48 hours, it's just moisture.

just a fyi,
i installed a zagg shield on my n1 last week and had the same thing. i've installed these brand shields on all my devices and i immediately noticed something a little different with the one i got in the mail. after installing i noticed the exact same thing as the OP. it's not moisture, it's the shield. it's a defect. if you take a piece of the film (leftover surround pieces) and hold them up to a light you will see very fine vertical lines. these lines seem to refract the light shining through the film to give it a "rainbow" effect.
i went ahead and ordered a phantomskinz protector online to test out. i'm returning my zagg shield for a refund.

Hmmm... I've never encountered that issue with IS, but I believe you. Also look into the BSE... it's skin seems to be the best fitting. Paul22000 posted up shots of his install and his BSE came out perfectly! If I wasn't inclined to stay skinless and caseless, I'd def go with BSE for their better edge coverage.

How would I go about putting a screen protector on with this?

Though I don't know how well it would work, but I would think would need to put the SP first and then the front skin. But I see a problem, if its a dry SP, then it won't go all over the edge. That might cause problems with the fit of the skin itself. Are you dead set on using the front skin?
Oh and don't buy it from there. XGEAR has a 60% off deal on the EXOSkin on their website right now
EDIT: correction, they had the promo for the weekend only. You could still try and see if it works. The code is EXOIPNEX4IPD2
EDIT 2: looks like it expired

I just installed mine tonight. Back of it is flawless and so easy to put on. Feels like real wood. The only beef I have is the front side. It does not protect the actual screen of the phone.....so I tried to install it over my BSE clear skin protector. Wasn't the best move (if perfection was what I was going for) because I ended up ripping the thin sides off to make installation over a barely dried wet applied clear skin. Still looks awesome though and I really really like it overall.
If I had to do it over again....I would have installed the front EXOskin over a tempered glass protector for the complete look. The reason the EXOskin didn't play well with the clear skin already on the phone is that the EXOskin is very adhesive. I think it would have been better over something like tempered glass. That would have given it protection over the actual screen and a wood look elsewhere.
Like I stated though....love mine.

Quoting myself.....the answer is VERY CAREFULLY. honestly best idea is tempered glass protector for front. Its difficult otherwise and probably not going to come out looking "perfect"

Tempered glass screen protector not fitting properly

Hey all,
I tried installing a tempered glass screen protector but it simply won't stick on one corner of the phone. If you try to fit it again and start sticking it from the other end, then the other side won't stick.
It is like the screen is not even.
Went to a local store today to fit another brand but they encountered the same problem.
Anyone faced this issue before? Maybe I'm not using a good enough brand? Kinda frustrating.
Thanks all

I'm using the Spartan tempered glass protector from extreme guard. Works great for me and it was super cheap.

Never had an issue with Spartan Tempered Glass.

As above. Just put mine on. It was only a few pounds from eBay and went on super easy. Much better than the film type protectors you get. Sorry you're having trouble with yours. Could very well be an issue with your screen.

Thanks guys,
I went to another store and just got a generic tempered glass one and it actually fitted great! Not sure what went wrong with the first two.

glad to hear it. At least you know now it was the protectors with the issue and not your phone enjoy!

I have been running with HTC One (M9) - Flexible Glass from PureGear and I have loved it. To put in on, you put it in the holder and just roll it on. Has not peeled at all, and is great quality. Went with this one because my store carried it and i wanted something to protect it as soon as i got it

i like the Glass-M screen protector. hight quality in glass and industrial design. http://glass4m.com/product/glass-m-premium-tempered-glass-screen-protector-for-htc-m9

How to remove Hydrogel Film screen protector?

I bought a Hydrogel Film screen protector about a month after receiving my S10+ about two years ago. I wanted to replace it now with a new one that I purchased off aliexpress. Now, I can't seem to remove the Hydrogel film screen protector on my S10+. Not to mention I don't even notice that its even on there anymore. Theres not even a screen protector outline that you would notice on normal screen protectors. DId some google and found that some comment from quora says that the hydrogel film screen protector is embedded to the glass on your phone and nothing to remove?
How did you guys remove it? or are hydrogel film protectors are not removeable at all once applied?

Peel it off. The bond isn't that great.
Should come off in one piece.
Don't scratch the screen be being stupid using a razor blade etc. Fingernails...
70/30 Isopropyl alcohol may help once you get some of it separated or to clean the glass.
Water may work better.

No, there is literally nothing that would indicate there is a hydrogel film protector installed on the phone. It looks like the screen is unprotected. But I know 110% that it was installed because I did it myself. There is nothing to peel off, I have literally tried every corner and edge of the screen and near the speaker. I purchased the screen protector here two years agohttps://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000437704322.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4ds7qHH1

Well maybe that bad gf did a mind job on you and took it off. WYSIWYG.
No wet apply is that good...

Question S22 Ultra screen protector??

Might be a dumb question but I'm coming from a Note10 plus that had the screen protector installed at the factory. My screen is in perfect shape, lasted 2 1/2 years, my wife's Note10 plus protector was destroyed in a month, she's a phone abuser.
My question is do the new S22 Ultras come with a screen protector already installed??

No.

It has something on it but I wouldn't call it a screen protector.

I ordered this one. Hopefully it will be a good one

Decide if you want wet or dry application bendable film, on the one hand, or a glass protector, on the other hand, I like wet film style and use Skinomi. There are pro's and cons to each style.

I had this on my S20 FE. (I'm waiting for the S22 U to arrive).
I don't think you'll like the feeling of SPen on this screen protector, because it's not glass and every sharp press on it, leaves a mark.
But it was amazing on my phone, not gonna lie.
I bought a tempered glass screen protector for the S22U, Whitestone Dome. This one comes with liquid adhesive and I've heard only good reviews on it.

I've never used one of those. Let us know when it arrives and you've used it.

I picked up the two pack of the Dome glass screen protectors from Whitestone, one for me one for the Mrs. They were excellent on our Note 20 Ultras.
