[REVIEW]CrazyOnDigital Matte Screen Protector

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008FF85TA/ref=ox_ya_os_product
$4.84 USD for a 3 pack of matte screen protectors, not a bad deal! ***spoiler*** this thing sucks ***spoiler***
So I've had the TF101 and Galaxy Tab 10.1 both with Zagg screen protectors but ended up taking them off after a few weeks since there was too much drag resistance. Never experienced any "orange peel" effect many have noted. On my mom's iPhone and Sidekick 4G, I saw this matte screen protector, and I was very impressed with the feel. This was a while ago, but once I got the N7 I decided to grab some matte screen protectors.

-3 Screen Protectors with proper camera and light sensor cutout
-1 card to squeegee the bubbles out
-1 microfiber cloth
-1 white business card sized label (to remove lint)
Installation was dry, and some what easy. I'm no expert at this, but I was able to successfully put the screen protector on with no bubbles or lint (after squeegee and using the included sticker to get out a few pieces of lint.
I was so excited that I got it looking so nice, no bubbles, no lint, etc. I've done this before with other devices and whenever I had lint stuck under the screen it would drive me insane everytime I looked at it.
Anyways turned the screen on and it didn't look too bad, just a little grainy rainbow pixel effect. w.e. I'll get used to it, less finger-prints and anti-glare + screen protection is a fair trade off. Wrong. A few hours later I turned on my tablet to browse the interwebz and get my eyes accustomed to the new screen. Holy Shiz. I am on the computer for the majority of the day. I browse numerous forums, reddit, i've accumulated 120+hours on battlefield 3, even more on starcraft 2, Im almost always on the computer. Hell, I just got a circuit board tattoo a week ago. I rarely ever get headaches from looking at a screen, when I do, it's most likely from forgetting to drink coffee. I got a nauseating headache from staring no more than 5 mins at the screen. Needless to say I ripped it off, threw it away and thanked my lucky stars it was so cheap.

I concur I got rid of mine after a few days.

who knows maybe you'll have better luck than me

I like mine. No issues with install and I can use the N7 whereever I feel like. I had too much glare when using it in the office and outside.

Scratch resistant screen, not so much

I write this to let go of my anger and also to warn all the happy owners of a Nexus 4.
Yesterday the Gorilla Glass 2 screen of my Nexus suffered serious wounds beeing in my pocket .. only in my pocket.
One would expect that having that technology in the screen never scratch, which made me very angry, but hey, what can we expect from LG?.
I do not want anybody to go through this disappointment, so I recommend buying a screen protector for your Nexus 4.

Try retaking the picture in better lighting without flash. I've had a screen protector on mine for a while and ended up taking it off,
maybe you had some sand/particles in your pocket rubbing the glass.

First off, follow the guy above's instructions and take proper pictures.
Secondly, you are an idiot to blame LG for Corning's Gorilla Glass 2 "failing". LG did not manufacture the glass. By your logic, you should blame Apple, Samsung, Motorola, Google, and Aliens for it too.
Third, if you didn't already know that Gorilla Glass is not entirely scratch proof and why screen protectors are necessary, it is your own fault. This has been documented, even on YouTube for those unable to read, and proven as to why it is not really scratch proof like it is advertised.

Do you put the phone in a pocket in jeans with metal studs? You know like the small copper studs that are on jeans. My right pocket has them to attach the pocket, but the left does not. Therefore I only use the left pocket.

Dudes, dudes. take it easy
The important thing for this post is to protect your Nexus.
I know it was my fault, but you know, being angry say many things. I had a Galaxy S i9000, and never had a scratch in a year and a half, expected to be the same with my Nexus.

Stop playing in sand.:laugh:

Physically it could not have happened unless you had metal studs as someone mentioned, or there was grit in your pockets. It's scratch resistant, not scratch proof. It's physics, nothing more, nothing less.

Has been discussed in most review threads, please post in one of those. Thanks
Beware - WEAK Gorilla Glass! Scratches out of nowhere
Nasty scratches, just on day two!

Nooooo. Not this **** again. It's only the shatterproof shield (screenprotector) that is damaged. If you remove them, your phone should be as new. If you searched the forum you would already know this

glass screen XZ easily broken.
I'm looking to buy an XZ. I view on the forums, I see like that.

Do yourself and us all a favour and buy something else.

My phone has survived multiple drops, sometimes even on uneven concrete surfaces.
While the polycarbonate shell does take a beating, the glass has never so much as scratched.
These are 3-4 foot accidental drops though. If you intend to throw your phone around, it probably wont last long.
Also, you should put a screen protector over the shatter proof film or remove the film completely, because shatter proof film is prone to scratches.
In conclusion, I suggest that you get a case and a screen protector should you choose to purchase this phone.
I'd recommend this case that comes with a screen protector for the front.

1st pic
sheet... the speaker hole is totally bent, no way it is subjected to light abuse before break
the rest of the pic
this is still glass
I dunno what is the claim of gorilla glass/dragontail
but i remember that the point of the ion-exchange type glass is to make a stronger against scratches glass
as for the strength, some did say that with the better glass, they ae able to use a thinner piece of glass
(lower weight, and/or cost)
so the end result is still the same
glass is glass, and it will break rather than dent
just the right(or wrong) pressure at the right angle
and the glass will break deeply

Waterproof Case

I was wondering if anyone knew if any manufacturer was making quality waterproof cases like the Lifeproof or Seidio Obex line cases...
This is one thing I am always jealous of iPhone users.. the wealth of accessories available to them.
I usually go w/o a case, but when I go on a trip, hiking, beach, lake, etc.. I like to have some extra protection for when I take my phone out for some pics/videos..
Alas, it is always difficult to find a quality case in this respect.

I doubt it. No Nexus has never had one that I know of

Just kidding, I'm hoping too. I use my phone for rifle competition and at least a rain and dust proof case would be great. The ol' ziploc "case" gets old.

LOL! Well, you have to do what you have to do. I never thought about using ziploc bags. I will keep that in mind. As for a regular case, I won't be using one. I think the phone is grippy enough to not slip too much if it's like the N5

I've had a friend try using a ziplock bag and water got in and his phone stopped working, for what it's worth.

Noted. I may do the double ziplock bag method to be extra safe
Sent from my Nexus 5

Reviving this to see if anyone had found anything.
I do use the ziplocks for the beach and whatnot but that is really "splash proof"
What I would like is a diving case, something that is good to a few meters.

This is by far the best option out there IMO
Liquipel

Thanks but I was hoping for a case instead. It doesnt even have ot be hard like a fitted Otter, but if it were a small baggier or something I would want it to be truly waterproof and be able to trigger a camera shutter

What about something like this? My girlfriend use something similar when she went hiking around a river with some small waterfalls with some friends. She said it was great and kept out all the moisture. She was even able to take pictures with it because the bag allowed the touch screen to work.

I may pull the trigger and hope that the fingerprint scanner works through it (it does through a ziplock) because our buttons being on the side makes it really hard to wake the phone.

Anyone used the custom creator for skin? How is the quality?

I didnt want to say the brand of skin in title, cause i feel like im advertising the company or something.
Ill attach a screenshot of the image I was going to use, it shows the company im thinking of using, i know nothing about it, they could be utter trash skins.
Anyone used this before? how was the outcome?
thanks.

hmm, im actually going to crop that pic more, looks like a freakin ad dude. honestly how do you even talk about stuff on here without sounding like a shill
ok there, i covered half the company name, and this thread was asking people if theyve used it before, so if they have that should be enough.

I've used this company's product before and it's a good product for what it is. With that said, I took mine off after a few days because I couldn't stand the slight feeling of stickness around the edges. I don't think that's really preventable, so it's not a knock on quality, it's just a nature of having a wrap. I also noticed pocket lint and the occasional hair getting stuck in the glue at the edges. For me it just seemed janky so I went back to a normal case.

cool, thanks. and yea, im not getting this for protection - seeing as it provides absolutely none. But, maybe there is a way to buff the edges after application to dull the glueiness, who knows. either way i will see how it is.
