Full cover skin

Hi,
I'm thinking to order a full cover skin case like this one:

The only thing about it is that the screen could become not so sensible as usual...What do you think?

Just got one today, Overall very impressed. Great quality sound through bluetooth, and connects to multiple things at the same time so can listen to music through my laptop, and take calls on ym headset.
best news is, they've just come down in price in most stores.

Please let us know what you think about it ! 8)

I actually had shieldzone make a custom invisibleshield for my touch. It arrives on monday, so I can't comment on it till then, but they do have it on their site now for anyone to buy.

Did you custom order a full shield or just a screen shield? I was thinking of the second option, if what they say on their specifications (99% clarity, extra durable, designed for US helicopter blades blah blah) is true.
Please keep us posted

Will it come off, once applied?

I just received my touch today, and the skin is amazing. I ordered a full body shield, but they actually build the full body and the screen as separate pieces, so you can buy either. At first I didn't even recognize the skin, it adds a sort of rubbery feel, and it is kind of shiny, but not much. I actually keep my touch in my keys pocket, and it doesn't show any wear at all, but it's been only a day now.

You can actually remove it, I don't know exactly how. Since they don't use actual glues to stick it, it doesn't leave any residue.

guys I've ordered a cheap silicon case on ebay. Got here today in good quality, but it has this rubber odor. learned my lesson im not buying these cheap silicons next time..

Invisible Protector
Anyone tried any of the products?
How is it?

I would be interested in anyone's experience with this too. I've used similar product from BestSkinsEver but only for screens on my non-touchscreen devices. Great protection and durability. I'm worried about how this will be on the rubberized surface of the Touch and if would pull off if you want to remove.

best skins ever
I've got a best skins ever for my iPod, and I love it. I believe it's the same material as invisible shields, but much cheaper.
I'm not buying it for my touch - yet - as it would spoil the matt finish if I covered it, and the supplied screen save is good for now.
this $6.99 skin would give you plenty of material to completely cover your phone, or screen protectors for several phones (I think....I'm not much good with imperial measurements]

I am on day 2 with the full body shield. I got it from the above website. They didn't send an email and the website didn't give me a tracking number. The website showed my delivery on hold until the 28th of October and never updated. I was almost to the point of calling to cancel when it just suddenly arrived. I guess I am just used to all the warm fuzzies I get from other suppliers, but it has left a bad feeling about their customer service.
The package was complete with spray, squeegee and protector.
It was a pain to get on perfectly, but with enough of the spray it is possible. The front comes in eight pieces. 2 for the top near the speaker, 2 for the buttons, 2 long skinny ones for the sides one for the navigation button and one for the screen.
The screen protector was actually pretty easy. Just make sure you get the curved end down. It didn't completely cover everything. There is a gap about the size of a fingernail on each side in the silver area. Of course I started on one of the sides, so I have a double fingernail gap on my right side.
I put the buttons on next. I lined up the cutouts and they went on ok. There is a little gestimation room so be sure to get a gap around the call and end buttons. There is a small square for the center button. It is a pain to center and mine looks off a little and it looked like I was about to pull my button out of the case when I tried to remove the shield to recenter it. I would probably skip this one.
The two long skinny ones were a pain. I would suggest tweasers so you can see where to place them.
The two top pieces were pretty easy, just make sure you don't overlap the two side pieces.
The back was 3 pieces, 1 big one the covers most of the back. 1 ring for the camera and 1 dot for the mirror.
When I put the large piece on the back I had to reposition it several times. When I was done I had a couple of small bubbles. The website said the bubbles should go away after a couple of days, so I just left them to see. If not I will pull it off and try again.
The ring was a pain. My fingers kept getting in the way. This is another piece for the tweasers.
The mirror piece as great. It is clear. After having my mirror on my 8125 get scratched from laying on it's back I know this is a weak area.
Note: I put this on late at night and lack of sleep probably contributed to any mistakes. I had watched the video so I used the spray and this helped. After 2 days it is looking better. I still have a couple of bubbles they are smaller and the tiny ones are gone. I will wait a few more days to see. The 2 top corners on the back seem to have a problem sticking. This was probably a placement issue, but unless it spreads I will wait for the bubbles before any realignment.
As far as use, there is a rubber feel now. The stylus drags and my finger drags but I can't seem to scratch this stuff. I feel pretty comfortable using my fingernail to tap now. I am pretty hard on electronics so I think I can live with it. I read on other sites that this goes away as the protector cures. I will let you know.
I hate to make a judgment after two days, but I would have to give this one a thumbs up.

I've also ordered a full shield from shielzone.com, haven't gotten it yet. I suspect they don't provide a tracking number since they ship free and use the cheapest USPS service available, which wouldn't have any tracking (e.g. express would have, and on regular postage only if you pay for registered would have tracking). I exchanged a few emails with them before I ordered and they were very helpful.
Now that I'm waiting to buy the HTC Polaris, it feels like I'm just wasting money, but it would be good training for the next invisible shield. that is, if I'm satisfied with it
Btw, I've tried the silicon cases as well, got one from Boxwave. While quality is reasonable, I can't understand how people can use that. It looks ugly, I just couldn't stand it (I've paid to have a sleek looking ppc phone). It also made it bulkier and hindered scrolling on the sides. That was a big waste of money on my side, but I've learned my lesson ... never silicon cases again.

Do I really need a Screen Protector for Captivate?

Hi,
Is the Capacitative screen of this phone is scratch resistant like iPhone? I was able to use my iPhone for 2years without getting a scratch on screen. I am awaiting my phone in mail, was thinking of buying accesories...
Thank you

I won't be getting a protector for mine. As long as you are careful, you'll be fine.

Even people with ocd make mistakes. Get the case from att and a screen protector. Protect your investment. Trust me.

Very true. And that whole scratch protector is kinda a lie. You can see pics/vids where the iPhone screen is pretty scratched.

No offense to anyone posting on this topic but I do not understand the purchase of accessories from AT&T or any other provider store. Items for these phones can be purchased significantly cheaper from online.
I bought a box of cut-to-size screen protectors for $5 from amazon and it has lasted our family through several phones and replacements. Touch screen function is not hindered and clarity is perfectly fine.
Though I use screen protectors, I do not believe in phone cases. I feel a phone is built to fit the users hand and cases add unwanted bulk that I don't like. Accidents do happen but in most situations you will cause no more than cosmetic damage. Use some sense when handling your phone and it should last until your next.
I remember recently having a "discussion" with my wife as to why she paid more to get a white iphone and then put a case on it. This baffled me to the point of agitation and I had to drop the conversation.
If really concerned, just get insurance through your provider or home insurance company. At least until the phone price drops after the next big release.

Thanks
Thanks for the replies, will be getting a case any way, still thinking of screen protector...

QFT on all that. I bought like 6 from Ebay China for like $1 and they work better than Apple's $10 ones.

That's a calculated risk.
Is spending $5/mo with a $50 deductible worth it versus spending $30 for a case???
You obviously have not used any good cases. Not all cases are like Otterbox and add half a pound to the weight and an inch to the thickness... SwitchEasy was my favorite when I had my iPhone. Waiting for something similar on the Captivate now.
I'm debating this as well.

I got the body glove case from att and a pack of screen protectors. The att rep put it on for me bubble free. I keep the case on when i am out and take it off at my desk at work. The phone is beautiful. The screen protector is more finger friendly and shows no smudges.

Definitely get a screen protector. Accidents happen, no matter how careful you are. And I would suggest a body glove of some type, again, accidents happen.

What brand of screen protector do you guys recommend?

aaaaaaaaahhhhhaha white iphone with a case. i lol'd. women eh?
with ur statement on bulk, get one with a minimalistic design. a case not only protect ur phone but look sexy too. if you scratch a case you can replace it hangin on to that sex appeal. scratch a phone and ur sol. Also good condition is important for resale
oh but if ur really against cases just get one like leather case that you only keep it in while ur not using it

Case:
I understand both sides. I guess "accidentally" putting my phones through more punishment than I thought they would endure has given me excess confidence in their physical design. I am a fan of the "phone pocket" now in most jeans and cargo pants. It is comfortable and easy to grab (also stays low to the ground). I would like to take some advice and get a nice case but I guess my wife's iPhone cases have already left me disapproving and I hate to add bulk, but maybe I'll try again. I'll admit the Captivate is a bit "smooth."
Screen Protector:
There is not to much to argue about here. I wouldn't worry about brand.
1. Does it stick to the screen?
2. Is it clear?
3. Does it fit?
If you answer YES to all three of these then it is a good screen protector.
If you answer NO to any one of these questions, KEEP SHOPPING.
I'll take a look later to see what brand the box is I have at home so I can post it.

Slim but durable cases are possible. Just very few companies put forth the effort to engineer one.
Switch Easy, they only make for iProducts but when I had my 3GS it was great. A thin rubber around the outside (protect it from shocks and also keeps the case itself from scratching it), then you snap a horizontal then a vertical case that form into one hard case... It was very thin (nothing like the bulk of an Otterbox), yet I think you could have thrown it across the room and the phone been fine.

I recommend the invisibleShield by Zagg. Had one on my iphone and totaled out a work van by flipping it with the phone sitting on the dash. Was one single mark on the iphone screen and it came off when I put a new Shield on it. I was impressed. It feels a bit rubbery for a screen protector at first but never noticed any impedance with touch sensitivity. Costs a bit more then normal protectors as well but again well worth it if you ask me.

Just got home and looked at the protectors I have. The brand is WRITERIGHT (universal screen protectors)
A set of 10 was dirt cheap ($3) and I have been using them for about 2 years. They are cut-to-fit and will cover the entire face of the captivate.

hello all. first post on here. just got my captivate last saturday and still waiting for martin fields to make a screen protector for this phone. they are a lil pricey, but totally worth it.

Well when I picked up my Captivate, I picked up the Body Glove Silicone Case from ATT because I prefer to keep any new devices in a silicone/gel style case for some protection. My sister and mom picked up the Captivate after they played with mine on Sunday *7-19-2010* and called me last night to set up my mom's phone and install a screen protector *3x for $ 9.99 at the corporate att store in my area*, for installing the sp and transfering the contacts *manually* and setting up gmail, I got a SP for free for my captivate for 15 minuets worth of work. Not too bad and I am a little more less worried then the last 2 days..
HTH,

Wow, 16 replies and not one answer to the original question about the Glass.
Many devices like Microsoft Zunes have a special hardened Glass, you can use keys, knives, razor blades etc to it and not scratch them. If a screen protector makes you warm and fuzzy go for it, but if this device (I don't yet know what Glass it has) has "that" Glass then its a waste of money. It's going to take a hell of a hit to break it, and a sceen protector wont prevent that.
You can read about such glass here:
http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archives/2009/04/glass-screen-durability-test-a-lesson-on-the-mohs-hardness-scale.php
I ran a screen protector on my HTC Hermes for years, and hated it. Finally removed it last year and love it. And no scratches. (Case has flip cover for when its in your pocket) A lot more depends on how you treat it. I have 4 sons, 2 of them seem to destroy electronics, 2 of them don't.

Perhaps because nobody knows? And also nobody is going to scratch their expensive device just to find out.

Tpu Cases would probably be your best bet. I currently have a clear Tpu case that was made by a member here on XDA. You can go that route or there is also one that HTC manufactures as well, I just ordered it!

try Wrapsol, I have used it on my Hero and my EVO. wrapsol.com.
Google "wrapsol coupon code" and you can get some money off too.

If you don't mind the cost, I love my Steinheil Incredible Shield. Best accessory I've bought so far. The body protection film feels just the slightest bit grippy to me which keeps the oil off you hands from making the phone slippery, and the screen protector is crystal clear and smooth as glass, and doesn't affect the touch screen sensitivity. The Incredible Shield comes with both the body and screen films. I don't have enough posts to post the link, but I'll PM it to you

First post here, been lurking for awhile. I personally like the skins offered by Best Skins Ever. They are $7.99, fit perfectly, no "orange peeling", and offers protection for the front screen, battery cover, kickstand, camera lens, and all four sides of the phone. I've used the InvisibleShield before and I feel that it is too thick, too much drag on the screen. The BSE provides better protection without the drag.

Invisishield is pretty sweet too....you can get it for just the screen or the entire phone...I had it on my hero so I had to have it on my evo too....

Can't go wrong with the INVISIBLESHIELD. Plus u get a lifetime warranty

I have the Zagg INvisibleSheild and I like it.. It has a different feel to it than just the screen, but for me it feels better.. I got mine at Bestbuy, just have them pricematch ZAGG so you don't get ripped off (as bad)..

Yeah....when I got mine over my whole phone best buy was having a $1 install special

Check out my signature for a great option. And since they are new they are selling them very cheap! I have only had one on it for the last 5-6 months now.

Stealth Guards.......pretty much the same thing as InvisibleShield but FREE.
I ordered one for all my phones. Just pay the $2.?? s/h. Well worth it.

Do not buy Phantomskinz for Evo. They sent me two of them. I installed and left on for 24 hours. My first impressions was "Wow!". Not much orange peel and feels nice. I have it on wife's iphone and sony camera, but they dont go through the same abuse as my Evo. I usually keep my EVO and carkeys in the same pocket. A few days later there is wrinkles all over my skin and it doesnt heal itself. Thought maybe defective, so i applied the second skin. A few days later same issue. Contacted their customer service and here is their response:
"Issue is the glass screen of the Evo. We call it a hardened glass screen. Unfortunately it reacts differently to the skin then normal devices would and the skin does not heal as it would on other devices. However, we never recommend keeping your phone in the same pocket as your keys. Our skinz are made to self heal small scratches and dents but this is pushing it a little far. I would recommend installing the second Evo Screen that was included in your kit if it is still available. I would also recommend separating your keys and cell phone."
I bought the skin so i can protect my phone from the car keys and she's telling me to keep them separate. Also, i moved from regular plastic screen protector and never had this issue. When i told them i used up both screens included, they asked to go through normal warranty and pay $3 for a replacement skin. Pay more money for skin they admit does not work on my Evo. No thank you. I have ordered from BestSkinEver and will review once i apply it.
I've attached some photos and video that I sent to their customer service.

Just wanted you guys to know that my local Sprint store repair center guy told me last week that if I put an invisibleshield on my phone, it'll void the warranty because it requires water to put it on.
I've got the invisibleshield on my iPad and love it...can anyone confirm this from their local Sprint repair center?

I use stealthguards and for the most part they're great. I have never used any solution like those before on my previous phones so I don't know how it compares to all the other "self healing clear skins" but for the stealthguards, u do notice its not as clear as normal screen protectors especially when the screen is off but the I personally love the feel of it and it works great. I've noticed that at the malls they have kiosks that sell "Ghost Armor" clear protectors and they apply it on the spot for you so you can also try those...

Go with best skins ever. BSE FTW!

Zagg Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 InvisibleSheild

Because I'm brave and they're giving me the Invisible Shield and a 50 dollar credit, I'm sending my GT-P7510 to Zagg to have them design an InvisibleShield product for it. It should go to them tomorrow and they said it takes them 24hrs to do the measurements and send the product back.
So Zagg may be the first ones that actually get a specifically designed Screen and full body sheild out for the thin GT10 model.
I'll keep everyone posted with what they tell me.

Wow thanks for doing this

I agree with kentoe, thanks a lot!
Hopefully accessory makers will start to notice the 10.1 over the next few weeks

Awesome. Surprised they hadnt requested the measurements directly from Samsung though. Although, being able to test skins on an actual device will be helpful.
They shouldve sent someone to I/O lol

I got the GT-P7510 back this morning. Zagg did a good job with it. It doesnt cover the silver bezel except on the top edge of the device. They also cut out holes for the camera and light sensor on front and back.
Im guessing it will hit the Zagg website here pretty soon.

Well, I've had it on my device for a week or more at this point. I honestly don't like the way the material feels at all. I've normally avoided the Zagg branded products in the past instead ordering from Bestskinsever.com. Because they were cheaper mostly.
It feels like the Zagg material is far too tacky and textured. Im hoping it hardens a little with time and smooths out. And for being "self healing" it didn't make it through the first trip in my computer brief on a plane without a very noticeable pinhead sized gash. It definitely hasn't healed yet. It also collects finger prints easily and they don't come off quickly at all.
They gave me a $100 in free gift cards which i proceeded to order covers for about every random gadget I own. Maybe they feel better than what the GT10 is covered in.
From a protection standpoint it seems to be doing its job though. I suppose that's the foremost reason any of us order the protectors. As for the release, I have no idea. Send them an email, they seem pretty good about replies.

Tab 10.1 invisibleSHIELD now available
When I checked earlier this week, I couldn't find an invisibleSHIELD for the Tab on Zagg's site except the one that appeared to be for the 7 inch, so I emailed them. Lo and behold, I received a reply today, and the shield for the 10.1 is now on the site!
(and, I can't post the link because I'm new.)
I've had an invisibleSHIELD on my iPod touch (3rd gen) since about a week after I got it. Yes, the feel is closer to "tacky" rather than the slick glass-only feel of the bare iPod, and I imagine it will be the same on the Tab. I actually prefer this - I kept being afraid I would drop my iPod.
I haven't had a problem cleaning it. Rubbing firmly on my pants leg is usually enough to clear the fingerprint buildup, and when the surface starts feeling icky I use a very, very slightly damp paper towel to clean it. Honestly, before I got the Shield, I didn't like the feel of the screen, but I have oily skin, so I leave lots of fingerprints behind. I also have not had a problem with the shield being damaged, beyond my deliberate efforts (see below).
So I don't sound like a commercial for Zagg... Be aware that the shield material doesn't handle rounded corners well. I had to trim the corners on my iPod's shield where they had pulled away and picked up pocket lint. Looks like they're avoiding that issue on the Tab's skin by not covering the edge. The shield also reduced the sensitivity of the touch screen - only slightly, but noticeably.

This is the link.

Anyone order one of these and have it shipped yet? I placed an order on June 15 but the order hasn't even processed yet and I'm still waiting for them to get back to my email.

Is this the same type as the one at BestBuy?
I'm still debating if I will need one.

$30 for 10cents worth of plastic for just the front ($40 for front and back). They're nuts. Bodyguardz is $20, Kinomi is $16 and there is some cheap junk on eBay for $5. I'll either wait for a 50% off Zagg coupon or wrap it in saran wrap!

I bought one of these on release day. By 9pm that night I had already torn it off... felt like a 2 inch thick sheet of rubber tbh.

I've used Zagg in the past and it works, but for devices with gorilla glass like the 10.1 it's not necesary.
The back I think is the part that needs the protection.

I have a Zagg shield on my phone (Samsung Fascinate) and I love it. But I don't think I'm going to put one on my Tab. For starters, I think phones and other smaller devices (iPods, etc.) are much more prone to drops and other things that could cause scratches. And I've ordered the Samsung book cover case for my Tab, so that should protect the back and the screen reasonably well.

But I haven't heard anything about shipping yet so not sure when I'll get it.

Anyone try BodyGuardz?

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.
