I'm currently thinking of buying a full body protector for my phone. What are your opinions on the best quality for the price? I know their are so many out their like Best Skins Ever, Skinomi, Invisisheild, Phantom Skinz, etc. I'd prefer one that does not need the watery solution in order to be applied if one exists. Actually, that's very important to me. Tell me your opinions and experiences with full body protectors you have tried and what you would refer. I bet this has been asked a lot, but haven't really found a good answer to what i'm looking for.
depends on which phone?
Any phone in general. I'd think they would all be of the same quality for each model because they all use the same material if it's the same brand.

yes but different phones have different fittings
No liquid
I usually get GadgetShieldz they are quite cheap and work very nicely... however they do not have one for the Nexus so I will get a BSE cover... because it is cheap haha
But I only know of one that doesn't require water
Case-Mate go Bare found here while I'm sure there are others that is the only one that I know of that requires no solution... they claim it is stronger than their liquid required skin too!
I was looking at those Case-Mate ones yesterday. Loving that go bear chrome for the HD2.
I like Case-Mate and it could be your best bet
XO Skins IMO reduces fingerprints and isn't tacky like some others.
they have zagg skins
it covers the whole phone and you can get a design on it as well
and you can place it without solution

Has anyone heard about new cases available for the HTC Desire.
I've had a case from Dragonfly for a while, but it has started cracking now and I fancy something new.
Has anyone got a good suggestions?
search for GEL cases off ebay.
Haven't got a desire, but got one on my Hero and it looks fantastic.
Don't get RUBBER or SILICONE, they're weak!
I've done a bit of research and I think I might look in to a Case-Mate case.
Has anyone had one before.
I don't want it to crack like me current has...
I agree with DDotPatel
I have used used gel cases on basically all of my phone and I have never had an issue with them, the protection they provide is great, and its not too thick either.

My friend recommend me PDair cases, and I also see lots of good comments from the forums. Just placed an order yesterday, and hope to recieved it soon.

Agree. They have very good comments in Amazon.
Personally I am not a great fan of bulky case so I like something lightweight and slim back cover and gives basic protection.
Ordering 2 of these plus postage is roughly $10 from NeTimes
Anyone here that has owned a capacitive touch screen, please feel free to chime in with which screen protector you liked the most!
Im looking to buy a protector that doesn't impede the touch experience & image quality of this amazing screen.
Also a warning against bad brands would be appreciated. I Believe Zagg/Invisi shield has already been established as a bad buy.
As another discouraged zagg user, I recommend buying cheap packs off of ebay. They usually are smooth and clear, but they get damaged every 1 or 2 months for me, but that's no problem as they were cheap and I just put a new one on. All the expensive ones seem to have a problem with clarity or feel, but if anyone else has a suggestion I would like to know too.
I'm going to wait for gadgetshieldz to come out with one. They may be coming from India, but their customer service is actually good when I needed another front screen skin for my Tilt 2 because the cut was slightly off. They mailed me an entire full body set within no time. Plus they're reeeeally cheap (Tilt 2 full body set was 6.99 - some discount percentage that was floating around) and lasted me almost the entire lifespan of my phone (Switched from Zagg).
Ok, but how does it feel? Is it smooth to swype as the glass screen beneath it? Clarity?
I use BodyGuardz for all of my phones (started with iPhone 3g -> Blackberry 8900 -> Blackberry 9700) and have not had a problem with them. Did not affect the touch capabilities of my iPhone 3G and kept the screen nice and new underneath.

I haven't used it on a capacitive screen, so I wouldn't know how it actualyl performs. But it's a lot smoother than the Zagg shields I've had before on the phone and iPods and such. The screen protector on my Tilt2 looked great, didn't skew the image at all. I eventually had to take it off though because resistive touch screen + skin = bleh. Pending user installation, you can hardly tell it's there.
nice, ill deff look into bodyguard n gadget shield. next question is, should i put the film all over my phone or just get a case n only use a shield on the screen.
guess what im sayin is: Is the film covering the screen and body enough? id really rather not add the bulk of a full blown case to my device.
p.s. heres another site with protectors that someone vouched for here
http://www.bestskinsever.com/
I started with Zagg, but have moved to BodyGuardz for my last 3 devices. They are the same quality, but for the same price as 1 Zagg sheild, you get two (2) BodyGaurdz protectors.
Currently using BodyGaurdz on the following products with no problems to report:
HTC Tilt 2 (Touch Pro 2)
HCT Pure (Wife's Phone)
Zune HD
soon on the Samsung Captivate
The real question is when will SwitchEasy-like devices come out that snap around the phone, like what the iPhone has???
is switch easy the ones that are relatively thick? Also, no one offered any insight yet on my question, do you think a case is necessary or will just a film covering over the phone be enough? I really like how sleek this phone looks and dont really want to add to its dimensions.
All I know is I had accidentally thrown my iPhone into some pavement and without the switch easy case, it would've been SOL.
Just look at their website. The cases fit like a glove and are very seamlined (They are not big and bulky like otterbox)
wow those cases look amazing. i would purchase something like this in a heartbeat for the captivate. its not thick, it holds the phone together great, and it looks comfy on the hands. Ima shoot them a letter requesting a skin for the att captivate. maybe if more people do they will consider it. So far it looks like they are only doing iProducts cases tho.
Here's a link:
http://www.switcheasy.com/
if anyone knows of a company that does cases similar to this and support a wider range of products, plz post it here.
Yea, they're awesome cases. They protect it great but don't add a ton of bulk.
They're i-Product only though, as you found out. That's why I was asking if anyone knew of something similar here.

I've had their antiglare protectors on all my phones, great for capacitive touch. I'll probably NOT go antiglare on the Captivate because you do loose some picture quality with the antiglare. $13ish for a single one, $25 or so for a 3 pack. That site also has a lot of other nice cheap accessories, like cables/chargers etc. I have on of their cases on my ipod though and don't care for it. Just don't like neoprene style cases.
wait what? You probably will go with antiglare because you lose some picture quality? This seems counter productive.
i know thats probably not what you meant to say. I'm hoping what you meant to say is that you wouldnt go anti glare? idk

You are correct sir, edited post.
Just get the casemate protectors from at&t they are $10 and you get 3 to a pack. The are clear and perfectly cut, you also cannot beat the convenience.

zagg is badd
For you, what is the best to protect our Gnex? Pouch or case?
If Pouch? What do you suggest?
If choice is Case? What is the best brand?
In general now, I don't prefer pouches or 'socks' as they're called in the EU. But that's personal preference. I find that most don't offer the same amount of protection, without getting to be very bulky.
And as to cases, the absolute best IMO hands down is ALWAYS from 'Otterbox'. If you're worried about your device, put it in an Otterbox, and it will live thru almost anything you can throw at it.
Also, if you're mostly just worried about scratches...check YouTube for the "InvisibleShield" by a company called Zagg. Awesome stuff, too. There are cheaper versions from other companies, but the IS from Zagg seems to be the original...but I could be wrong about that.

I find i site called fitBAG.de, they pouch look very good, maybe i buy one for test (but has expensive price - 62 dollars).
Zagg i has used with my old Nokia N82, but is turn the phone ugly....
Otterbox is another good choice, i looked some images of this case, but i can't find where i can buy this... The official website reports that are still in development.
Looking for a zagg-like protector on eBay but cheaper. Anyone know any good brands?
I have been using gadgetshieldz for many of my devices. I think the quality is really very good. Most importantly, it is cheap. It comes with free shipping. I am currently waiting for it to arrive for my htc one x. Check it out at gadgetshieldz.com

Try BestSkinsEver, used it on many of my other previous devices, outlive most of my device.
The coverage and fit better then Zagg, IMO
Only $8.99 for full body which includes screen. But i don't like the screen skin, bit tacky feel .
http://www.bestskinsever.com/htc-one-x-skin
But it doesn't come with fancy packaging like all the expensive brands, not even instructions, you can download instructions from the web. Why they do it that way, read the here: http://www.bestskinsever.com/about-us/
I wanted to put something on my S3, but didnt want it too bulky as the slimness is one of the great features...So I end up looking at a few and think I want to try the bodyguardz armor and screen protector. Just wondering if anyone has used it lately and if it can be put on easy and cover and look good? Also wondering about the screen protector that comes with it. You see I had one on my iphone 3gs I just upgraded from and it had the best protector I have seen, my wife and kids had the zagg and it sucked, the orange peel and most of them ended up with jacked up edges before long and all that. But the one I had , well I have no freaking clue what brand it was...it was rigid, not a floppy skin like the zaggs and most others, it was more stiff and stayed flat if you held it on your figure for instance. I just wish I remembered who made that one as it would be my choice for sure.

Bump - I'm interested to hear if anybody has tried the bodyguardz for this phone too. Particularly the carbon fiber one.
I have used BG for over 3 years now (Palm Pre, EVO OG, E4GT, and now my GS3). I don't know why people don't comment much on it. I have tried the big guys, Ghost Armor, Zagg, etc. and I always keep coming back to BG. The build quality, clarity, application (especially the new ones with the gel) are second to none. You also get 2 sets per kit in case you mess up and unlimited lifetime replacements. Their customer service is amazing.
No orange peel, no weird Zagg texturing, simply clear.
I highly, highly recommend them. You won't regret it.

That's awesome. Thanks.
I'm not going to be put the screen protector on though...might change my mind, but really I'm buying it for the carbon fiber skin. I do not drop my phone, so all I want is scratch/scuff protection. Anybody used the skins, particularly the carbon fiber? I'm really curious if it's got any friction or grip or if it's really slippery still. Thanks!
I've previously used BSE on some products and always had good results.
