Just got my shield from best skinz ever - Nexus S Accessories

I picked up the full body shield from them instead of zagg this time primarily because of price difference. Zagg $25... best skins ever $8.99 and first of all I received two. I'm not sure if it was by error or not but I was only charged 1. I got two screen and two back protectors. Installation was actually a breeze. I thought at first the back would be a pain because of all the curves but it only took about 10 minutes. After using it for a day I must say I love it. The grip is much better and feels much better in your hand. It also sort of gives it a "no so plastic" gloss on the backing... they say the material is the same but it seems this material is actually lighter. There are no problems with the screen at all either. You can't even tell its in there like you could with my zagg shield. I will post pictures shortly. Highly recommended

Whats the warranty?
Most people choose ZAGG because of the lifetime warranty

Does the touch feeling remain?

From my experience, BSE feel much less grippier than Zagg, however it's still not as nice as touching the glass screen.

Any chance of those pics you talked about?

I got my to. You probably bought it during the buy one get one free special they had for pre order.

I love the bestskinsever (and just applied it to my NS as well) - I can actually type FASTER on phones with it applied - gives me a bit more friction or something.

How do y'all like your best skins ever?

Anybody have on on their Nexus S 4G? If so how has it held up? I have the Skinomi full body on my SGSII and it has a very distinct orange peel look to it and gets damaged by my fingernails or any hits it takes...
I figure for $8 it can't be that bad..
I have it and I love mine. Pretty much every skin of this type has orange peel but I think this has less than zagg.

Hmm.. good to know. I like the Skinomi one but for $15 i decided against it. I like the body cover but not the screen on the skinomi.

I'm about to post a review on a case which has some pictures so you might be able to see the orange peel, but my camera is bad..
I've had BSE for about 9 months and I love it. It's protected the phone very well from the couple times I've dropped it on a marble floor, so I think the shock protection is worth the minimal cost alone. Orange peel effect is minimal as well compared to Zagg and Ghost Armor. I'm about to order another full body skin, because a couple corners are finally starting to come up. Highly recommend.

Thanks, I like my Skinomi one on my SGSII but the screen protector is 7/10. I ordered two of the BSE and it looks like everyone likes theirs.

I've tried many of the wet application ones, and the BSE has the least orange peel.. Frankly, I'm looking now and I don't see any..

Thought I'd post an update here. I actually dropped my phone on pavement from about 4 feet today. Fortunately the BSE did its job and the device came out without a scratch. Just the protector was scuffed a bit in two corners and started coming up a bit. Thankfully, I ordered a full replacement a few days ago. Definitely happy with the protection offered by this product.

I got mine 2 weeks ago and I absolutely love them. It is way better than the Skinomi. I can barely tell that the back has a skin on it.
I have been using BSE for years. I tried skinomi on my NS just to try something else.... took it off a week later for a new BSE.
I have 8 android phones and two tablets covered in BSE... love it.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I use BSE for all my android devices. Love it.
with BSE, I also agree it has the least orange peel affect, but I believe it's one of the thinner screen protectors. once something gets dented into it (like keys), it stays there forever from my experience. I currently have zagg and even when something dents it, it'll "heal" itself after awhile.
for 8 bucks though, BSE is definitely best bang for the buck. I use zagg for the screen (I got it discounted) and BSE for the rest of the body

Screen Protector

I've always been one to use screen protectors on my displays, even on gorilla glass. With the nexus 7 using an unconfirmed type of corning glass (ie it might not be gorilla glass and instead just have a scratch resistant coating), i figured to go shopping.
XO skins is the company I've been buying from recently. It is very easy to find coupons that will work online. They work really well, although they can feel a bit rubbery. They do NOT have the orange peel texture companies like zagg are known for. Since it is a wet installation, it is sometimes possible to see "rainbow streaks" under the screen over a white background. If you run into this problem, shoot them an email and they'll send you a replacement. Customer service is excellent.
http://xoskins.com/laptops-tablet-r...in-protectors/google-nexus-7-screen-protector
This next one i haven't tried, but it differs from the above protector in that it is a static cling installation. This would probably be good for those who are against wet installations, or fans screen protectors from companies such as steinheil. This one is anti-glare though, so it is likely that it has a matte-textured or cloudy display.

We should be seeing more in the next few weeks. If you find one, post it
until then, cheers
I'll definitely be going with the Skinomi: I've done both Skinomi and ZAGG, and ZAGG is just too sticky for my taste. IMO, my fingers just glide over the screen much easier with a Skinomi protector.
I've always gone with xoskins and their customer service is AMAZING. No joke, if you feel unsatisfied with your screen protector, just email them and they'll most likely send you a new one. I got one for my Galaxy Nexus though one thing about these types of screen protectors is that dents and marks got onto them pretty easily. Even so, I'll still be getting an xoskin for my Nexus 7 (assuming I get one soon).

+1 SGP for screen protectors & skinomi for silver carbon fiber kit
SGPs are great but expensive. I've bought 5$ screen protectors from Frys that have the same quality as my SGPs. Skinomi intends to scratch very easily and it doesn't self heal. Never had experience with XO skins though and I'm not a big fan of water based once anymore since they seem to dent and scratch easily X_x..
I am not a fan of protectors. I don't use one on my Sony EReader (soft screen) or my Motorola phone (Gorilla).
Both have cases, and are scratch-free after a couple of years use.
That works better for me.
Here's what SGP CS wrote back to me when I asked if they plan to make a SP for the Nexus 7
Thank you for contacting Spigen.com Customer Service Department.
Hi, my name is Diana from Spigen.com.
Thank you for your interest in our products! As of now, we don’t have any definite plans to make screen protectors for the Asus Nexus 7 Tablet. However, if there is increased interest from our customers, we may change our production plans in the future. Please check our website for any updates time to time.
If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Funny thing is that they usually reply with that for most new products if I'm not mistaken.
I'm hoping Clarivue will make a Nexus 7 protector soon. I've always like them, but I'm an acrylic protector kind of person. Just never cared for the "rubbery" feel. I'll put up with the very occasional minor scratch that you can't even see when the screen's on in exchange for a feel that's identical to the screen itself.

I normally just use cheap ones of ebay on my phones which work well enough however my father got a samusung 10.1 and I think because of the size the static as you pull off the second layer just sucked any surrounding particles to the skin.
I bought one from bestskinsever which is a wet application one and it worked very well and was decently priced so I'm planning to get one from them for the Nexus and my new HTC One XL.
I sent a query on their site and got an initial automated reply, the more queries they got for the Nexus the quicker they will start making them.
I used to use typical screen protectors, but I feel they are easier to get bubbles and dust stuck under them and are much less forgiving for mistakes. This is an even bigger problem with larger screens.
I now only use wet application screen protectors, such as InvisibleShield (too expensive), BestSkinsEver, and Prestige / XtremeGuard. There are much easier to apply after practicing on other devices, much more forgiving as if you don't align right, you can easily remove as it's still wet and just spray more of the solution on (water + drop of dish detergent). The secret is to make sure it's always wet when applying and then once it's on, squeegee..if it's not on yet, keep it wet. They do have a bit of texture, but I don't mind it.
I ordered XtremeGuard from ebay for $9 shipped.. much cheaper than the alternatives right now and it ships quick from Utah. I also ordered a folio style case specifically for the Nexus 7 from ebay (shipped from Hong Kong) .. i made sure it was specific because others are selling Kindle Fire cases, but this one has specific slots for speaker and other inputs and is under $10.
Also to the person wanting full body skin...it doesn't make sense to cover the soft back of the Nexus 7 with something like InvisibleShield.
Edit: Links if it's alright:

Yeah, I wouldn't go with anything other than XOSkins.
I'm absolutely 100% satisfied with the way they've worked on my Nexus.
I "pre-ordered" my Skinomi case from Amazon last week. They estimate 8/1 as the shipping date. That could mean two weeks without a screen protector. My OCD-ness won't like that.

Have you used an XOSkin to be able compare the two? I'm just curious about Matte protectors.

Zagg HD vs. Xtremeguard...

I had the Zagg HD on my phone for the last 4 days and at first I was quite happy with it. The fit was outstanding...it went right to the edge and had no peeling. The feel was slightly tacky, but it was clear and offered protection so I was happy. Over the last day or so I started noticing lines or imprints in the protector from the s pen. I'm highly impatient and I had the xtremeguard sitting on standby, so off with the zagg and on with the $3 xtremeguard.
I used the hot shower/spray bottle install method and the xtremeguard went on perfectly (as did the zagg)...no bubbles, no dust whatsoever. The fit is every bit as good as the Zagg...screen coverage could not be any better. The xtremeguard is smoother than the zagg, but still a little tacky. I expect that will get better over the next couple days as did the zagg. I have had the xtremeguard on the back if my phone for a week and tested the s pen on that to see if it left any marks like it did on the zagg, and it did not...that's why I went ahead and chose to put it on the screen too. It does not have a cutout for the sensors at the top of the phone, but it doesn't appear to effect anything, so that's better as far as I'm concerned. Screen clarity is every bit if not a little better with the xg over the zagg.
Overall, I would say if you are patient then save $23 and get the front AND back from xg for $3.99 including shipping instead of just front from zagg for $25 from best buy. Great product, great price! I just ordered another set for backup just in case.

The Zagg, both regular, and HD, both show where the S-Pen has been used. I would honestly rate it at Complete Garbage for use with the Note 2. Most, if not all, wet application screen protectors fit this description.
SGP Ultra Crystal = complete opposite.
My recommendation is always: a case (even the thin ones, especially if you're considering these skins, you aren't looking for drop protection) + a screen protector. Those cheap ones from eBay are VERY good! I get 6 of them for a dollar shipped, (maybe a little more?), and if they EVER get scratched I change it out for another, and if I install it incorrectly, toss it away and whip out a new one! They're uber smooth and cheap cheap cheap! I HATE wet installations on my phone. 700 dollar phone + water + soap? No thanks! Regardless of how much you use. I've used Zagg a million times way before when it was Invisible Shield and it was always the same problems:
peeling off after a few days on the sides (the part that I really needed protecting because that's the part that scrapes against my jeans coming in and going out), with the Note 1 I had it also and it almost broke the tip of my spen ... sucks.
I love cases, because I feel like I'm dressing up my phone. And I love the screen, give it some good protection with 99 cent 6 packs of screen protectors! No fuss. No issues. No reason not to use them .
Xtreme guard doesn't protect the chrome bit does it. Still good price though. Thanks, definitely give it a go.
Where did you find it from? Only see on eBay. Thanks!

I had xtremguard on my Ipad for over a year now, still looks good. That's why I decided to go with them again for my Note 2. I just installed it on my Note 2 today. Fitment looks good. I don't know about marks from the S pen. I bought them on Ebay for $4 then got another set during Cyber Monday for $2.
Damn! How hard are you guys pushing when you use the pen? I have had the HD screen protector on my phone for the past week, and have no lines whatsoever.

Xtremeguard is better quality than zagg hd. I got 2 screen protectors and full body protector from xtremeguard for $3.50. I would have paid $25+ for a zagg hd screen protector only. Not to mention that zagg products turn yellow after days of use. This happened and it was very noticeable on my white Galaxy S3.

I think it's important to have good customer services. A happy client is a revolver. Especially nowadays when you can buy the products from almost anywhere, offering something that differentiates your company from others is key to get revolvers. Amazon Spain is fantastic. I buy almost everything I can from them because they have excellent customer service and return policies. Not to mention it's sometimes cheaper than anywhere else online!

Seidio Vitreo Vs Mime Ghost

So now that the tempered glass screen protector of mime has been redesigned, which of the 2 do you think is better?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I can only speak from my experience of VITREO which I still consider hands down the best I spoke with a few people who had original Mime, got annoyed with edges not sticking down and some bubbles still there, and after receiving 2nd gen replacement from Mime (bigger side margin now for less contact with curved edge of N2) they still find edges are not sticking down completely along the whole perimeter. I haven't tested it for a simple reason because I don't want to take my VITREO off.
In my opinion, if you want to save some money, Mime Ghost is a good alternative to VITREO. I wonder if anybody who tried both can compare and give us their opinion. I would imagine there gotta be someone who had Mime and removed it to replace with VITREO.
And btw, VITREO is not exactly bullet proof. I put that tempered glass through hell doing a ton of testing with different cases and accessories. Frankly speaking, I toss it around with keys, tools, etc. After all this time, I see some hairline scratches, something that would have shredded even the best 3H PET film screen protector. And it still feels like a pure smooth transparent glass.

I have to agree. VITREO is so great, that I just can't imagine anything else even coming close. It's not coming off my phone, probably ever.
To be fair, I haven't tested the Mime either. I did post a review on Amazon with my thoughts about the VITREO, and my preferred installation method. Check it out if you're interested. http://www.amazon.com/review/R3H9GVMW6IILGD/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm
Havent used the Mime so I cant compare the two, but had the Vitreo and would recommend it. Installation was simple, just requires patience. I took mine off about four times to get it exactly where I wanted. Never had any lifting issues, and no bubbles under the screen. Looked and felt great. Mine busted this past week tho. Was about 6 feet up on some scaffolding taking some photos of a job site. Guy behind me bumped me and my phone went flying, landing screen down and skid across the concrete slab. The Vitreo was damaged, but not as bad as I thought it would be. Took it off and my phone screen was still good as new. Already ordered a new one from Amazon.

I have to agree. The Vitreo was the easiest to install. No bubbles ect. and performs very well.
I'm using mime, the first version. It has been great. I work a physically demanding job and drop my phone on concrete about three times a month, for about a year. It did finally crack just recently, but I can tell the phone screen is in good shape. The screen protector also looks good but I can see and feel the crack. I just emailed mime for filing a warranty claim and they sent me a code to order a new one at 40% off, total about $16. Everything was fast and easy. This phone is durable as hell with the right protection, I'm using the mime screen protector with the seidio active case, which don't add a lot of bulk.

Best Skins Ever

I've had my BSE screen protector for about 2 months. On the positive side the cut is very precise and if you're experience with installing wet apply protectors it's quite easy.
The material itself is a bit grippy and definitely not as smooth as dry apply protectors. Initially the self healing properties of the skin were reasonable. However after 2 months every small indentation from pressure being in a pocket remains permanent. My screen protector is now super ugly to the point friends laugh at it.
I wondered if this was normal or just unlucky that I got a defective batch. I contacted BSE and they told me it's just normal wear and tear. I was definitely a bit surprised that this is normal for 2 months of use. I've never had this with any other protector I've used.
The other factor that made me want to try this brand was there 5 star review on their site. Out of 6 reviews every reviewer gave it 5 stars. I recently tried to post my honest review on their site and low and behold my review, less than perfect, was not published. Now I see why the rating is what it is. Deceptive marketing.
In the end the company offered me a replacement out of 'goodwill' if I paid shipping. They then sent me a bill for $3 which doesn't sound like a lot but their shipping cost is way less since it's just a standard letter.
Overall, I would not buy another BSE product since they develop permanent marks after 3 months.
Will post a picture when I have a chance.
here's a picture of the bestskinsever after 2 months.
Jesus Christ, that is ugly.
How much did you pay for the screen protector?
I've had some issues with glass screen protectors but I'm now using a "cheap" alternative I found on Amazon that's identical to the £40 glass screen protector I initially had that I messed up when installing. I only paid £11 for a pack which includes a film protector for the back; however all glass screen protectors have SOME sensitivity issues and I've had it with this one too, but it's not too bad.
However I don't use my edge screen in the extreme corners. (I am also using a case which affects this).
Just an idea as it's relatively inexpensive.

I generally carry my phone in my pocket but almost always there is nothing else kept in the same pocket.
Had my BSE front and back protectors on for 3 months and still look brand new. Bought them for my S7 Edge after having a BSE protector on my Galaxy S5 for 2 years and it still looked mint after all that time.
Had mine for at least 3+ months, looks nothing like this, I don't know how you managed that. Certainly the best normal screen protector I've ever used. Only issue is the case cut works better with some cases than others, but that's no fault of theirs.

I've used many brands of wet-apply protectors. All have been used the same way. None have ever looked like this. I was just surprised that BSE described it as normal wear and tear so I suppose this is what they expect after a couple months.
I haven't used a liquid apply screen protector in years. When I used them, they were new tech for phones, were sticky, and often had an orange peel look to them. And they got deep impressions in then from other objects in your pocket.
I loved them at first, especially as a total body skin. I eventually switched to the plastic PET protectors because they felt smoother and slicker, but attracted fingerprints. After that it's been nothing but tempered glass screen protectors.
Now that I'm using the S7E, I've gone back to the liquid application screen protectors. After research, I settled on the Yootech from Amazon.com for $8. I put one on my wife's phone first about three weeks ago and have been very impressed with the fit, feel, and clarity. She keeps her phone in a pocket or purse and I haven't seen any marks on the screen. So last night I put the same protector on my phone, and am again very impressed.
It isn't as slick as glass, but nowhere near as sticky as the old Zagg and similar liquid install protectors. My finger glide over it very easily and smoothly, and the orange peel effect is nearly non existent, unless you look at just the right angle in the direct light. And it doesn't attract fingerprints. I wouldn't say it's oleophobic, the prints just don't show up as much.
I say all that to say, my experience with these type of screen protectors is very limited, especially in newer brands, but if BSE isn't satisfactory, you may try the Yootech. I just ordered the BSE body protection set, so I'll be curious to see how it holds up.

comes in a 2 pack. dry application and fits super nice. sides are already curved down and stay down pretty good. i had put a deep scratch in my first one so i just grabbed the 2nd one and slapped it on. feels pretty nice. not rubbery at all. that will take care of the front nice. id go with dbrand if u want something for the back

No, no, no. Can't recommend spigen screen protector at all. Bought it one time and my corners piled off next day. Several months later I bought it again, thought that maybe they fixed something but i was wrong. Bought spigen second time yesterday, before it i was using best skin ever. So today i saw same ****ty piled off corners and ordered best skin ever again.
I don't understand how they are selling those screen protectors if from 4 times i applied them all times i got the same result. It sticks very nicely but next day corners starts piling off.
So in my opinion best skin ever is best choice for s7 edge.
i've been using an armorsuit wet apply one. it isn't glass but it much better that the BSE I had. Looks a lot smoother in comparison.
