After putting on a wet screen protector, my phone is f***ing broken. The power button doesn't work. Needless to say, I'm pretty upset right now. Everyone thinking about a wet screen protector, please take note.
UPDATE: After using a hair dryer and giving it some time, the phone appears to be 100% functional. Hopefully this keeps up.

After using a hair dryer on it, there are now random responses to the power button, which I wasn't getting before. I have no rice and it's too late to buy some right now, but I currently have it in a ziplock bag full of pasta. Going to drink some bourbon to fall asleep and hope I wake up to some good news.
Everyone, PLEASE BEWARE OF USING WET SCREEN PROTECTORS!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, please believe me, I didn't soak the thing, or do anything crazy. The phone was off when I put the protector on, and after doing it, the power button didn't work. After I pulled the battery and put it back in, the phone automatically turned back on, but the power button was completely unresponsive. Every time I put the battery back in, the phone would automatically turn on. It *seems* to be working now after using a hair dryer, but to be safe, I have the phone in a bag of pasta right now.
Looks like I'm off to Verizon tomorrow for some of their non-wet screen protectors, assuming my phone is okay (I imported the GSM model too, so this is extra awful). This just isn't worth it.

i feel for you man, thanks for posting this for the benefit of the rest of us
It might just be that the few remaining physical buttons are especially sensitive to water damage?
I actually prefer wet screen protectors, I seem to end up with far fewer bubbles than the dry type. I applied one to the Motorola Xoom and am extremely happy with the result. Seeing the 10" screen on that made me cry thinking about all the bubbles I was going to end up with, but a week later and it's practically perfect.
I've order a dry screen protector for my Galaxy Nexus, getting more and more paranoid by the minute that I'm going to scratch my latest pride and joy.

Did you forget to remove the battery before soaking your phone with water? Its always my first step with phones that have removable batteries.

Which dry screen protector did you order? I'd like to get a dry one myself, as I'm DONE w/ wet ones. It's just not worth the risk (my phone appears to be okay now, but I had about 2 hours of hell thinking it was done). My friend said he's used the Verizon branded ones in the past and that they're actually pretty good, but I don't know...

Yup. Battery was pulled. As soon as I put it back in after putting on the screen protector, the phone turned on automatically.....this was the first sign that something was screwed.
This exact same thing happen to me. It has gotten better but not 100 percent.
It has been about a week and a half. The power button can work for a few hours then it acts up. The only thibg that really bothers me is that taking screen shots is almost impossabile.
thats strange as hell...
i do tons of installs with zagg screen protectors all day and never once had a problem. hell, i soak the living crap out of most of them. except for cell phones, most of them i do them dry and just lay em down perfectly.
Yes I know with the screen protector solution Yea that sucks put the phone in a open container with the pasta since you don't have any rice keeping it in a zip lock bag prolonges the moisture.

Screen protectors are a waste of time and money... maybe now you'll learn and just live with the small chance of getting the scratch-resistant glass scratched.
Sorry to rub it in, but from experience trying to baby something too much will just end up with more hassle for you.

Sorry dude, but you're WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY wrong here. There is no bigger hater of screen protectors than me. Check out some of the threads on screen protectors where I've said this. I hate them, and didn't use one on my OG Droid or my Nexus S. I owned each of those for a full year, got zero scratches on my OG Droid, and one minor one on my Nexus S. With this phone, I got 3 MINOR SCRATCHES IN 2 WEEKS. And I baby the hell out of my phones. The glass on this phone is incredibly soft. As a result, I begrudgingly got a screen protector for it.
Also, everything seems to be working fine at the moment.

From experience I wait at least 8 hours or more for wet applications.........always works fine
IMO, you're the one to blame in this case as you powered on your device too early. I could be wrong.....but it seems like the most likely reason
sent from Mt Olympus
This thread wasn't about passing blame. I just wanted to bring it to other people's attention. I very well may be the one to blame. Although I will say that I watched the instruction video of the company I bought the screen from (BSE), and they made zero mention of waiting to turn the phone on after application.
Just bought a screen protector at XO Skins after a minor scratch (2 weeks of use). So: battery out and wait for about eight hours (leave it over night?) seem to be the tips.
Yes, that seems to be the takeaway so far (other than not using them). As I said, after a few hours, my phone is working fine. If I would have left it overnight, I probably would never have even seen the problem.

Hello guys,
I ve been in the market for cases for my new galaxy nexus and got my hands on a couple diztronic ones and I posted the reviews on the correct forum however I couldn't leave my lovely s2 without one so I got one as well and reviewed it specially because I've seen people talking about it due its misalignment with some of the necessary hardware part. I made this video so you guys can check it and make your own decision ..
Pd.- I am in no way associated with Diztronic or any of its affiliates .Im just a phone junkie that started reviewing cases so people get a look before spending their money. Mods if I am breaking any rules please let me know
Enjoy and hope this helps

Had mine shipped from Amazon with free Prime, but it somehow managed to take 5 days. The case itself is great, I see the misalignment issue with the mic hole, but I haven't really had any problems with that so far. It definitely fits better than the primitive T989 case on eBay that was extremely popular.
good review dude. Does it not bother you that you have particles stuck under your screen protector? Man that would eat away at me until I fixed it.
thank you for the kind words guys
im going to be honest on the shipping..I got mine in like three days..Im in the US so that might be why it was faster.
it indeed feels sleek as well..not adding volume nor size is a plus for me.
Yes , i had that case from ebay...which is now resting inside my drawer lol
i HATE the particles..it doenst matter if im in a surgeon table or with everything closed ...I always manage to get particles in..and not on the side but in the middle of the screen haha! but gladly i have a lot of them so right after the video I replaced it with another one
glad im able to help you guys...the more cases I get the more reviews I will be doing

have you tried the hot shower method? it really does work wonders, but it sure is uncomfortable in there.
Actually I haven't. Good idea. Will try that!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Ditto. Applying screen protectors must be the most annoying thing in the world...
the larger the screen protector, and the smaller the cutouts that you have to align, that worse it gets. Getting this crappy matte screen protector on my GS2 was a pain, now I don't even want it because it ruins the beauty of the screen.
I tried the hot shower method for the first time on my GS2 and it definitely made life easier as far as keeping dust suppressed goes, but any dust that gets stuck on the sticky side of the screen protector is still going to cause trouble.
Running it for ~10 minutes got the bathroom nice and steamy when I did it, don't humidify it to the point where it gets uncomfortable, but you do have to keep it running during the process =\
that was probably incoherent as hell and more of a rant than anything, but I've never been good at sorting my thoughts

I understand your frustration no worries there. So from what I have gathered from reading a lot of blogs and stuff:
1) Soak the screen protector (if it's a silicone adhesive that is water-resistant) in half water half isopropanol to clean the sticky side of the sp.
2) Apply screen protector in a steamy room.
So much work.. Especially since a lot of people have no trouble at all applying screen protectors regularly. Maybe I'm just fail
If you're careful, you don't have to soak the screen protector in anything, I didn't and it went on perfectly, that is...until my cheap eBay case started pushing the top right corner up. Just run a hot shower, and do EVERYTHING in there, even opening the screen protector. I live in a REALLY dusty apartment (no idea why) and I had very little trouble except for lining up the holes.
i have the same case, same issues at the bottom with the mic but it doesnt effect my calls. even with the minor imperfections, i would still recommend the case to others.
Never heard of the hot shower method before
I've applied many screen protectors ranging from Nintendo DSi to iPad2/Samsung Galaxy Tab and anything in between over the years, and never had any problems with bubbles or particles. The key is to have a brief bursts of canned air right before applying the screen protector and having a piece of Scotch tape in one hand in case any dust particles get in between. If that happens, I lift the screen protector little bit, touch the dust with the Scotch tape briefly, and continue the process. Scotch tape doesn't leave any residues behind (either on the screen or the screen protector depending on where the dust particle is) and it is readily available. Oh, and I always use powder-free latex exam gloves

I finally received the case in the mail. Damn international shipping.
The case looks sleek. It fits perfectly. Haven't noticed any problems with the sound quality. I am satisfied. Will probably last very long until I decide to upgrade to like a seidio/otterbox/incipio ccase.
I font like cases that make the phone bigger ..love the protection they offer but hate the bulkiness

as the title says, i was applying the ZAGG invisibleshield wet screen protector to my gnex, had to apply the liquid a couple of times since i didn't position it right in the first try, the phone worked ok for like 1h, after that started freezing, when i take the battery out and reboot, it gets to the enter pin screen then freezes there, sometimes i manage to get to the homescreens, but that's the far i can get , coz it freezes again, i just put it in a bag of dry rice and will leave it for a day or 2, not sure how much liquid got in and if it can be fixed anyways. does anybody have a better suggestion? or any tip i might try? i'm pretty sure the liquid got into the speaker when i was using the squeegee. damn.
Take the battery out. Put the phone in a cup of rubbing alcohol for ~5 min. Take it out. Take it apart and blow dry it.

let us know if the alcohol works. i've always been curious about this. would the alcohol get under the screen and maybe leave some particles or residue behind? esp if theres some glue or something inside the phone that would get dissolved.

Well rubbing alcohol will evaporate REALLY fast. Just make sure everything gets dried before you turn it on.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
I would not dunk my phone in alcohol. Just blow dry it for a while then leave it in rice for a week.
Putting your phone in rubbing alcohol (or any alcohol really) is a bad idea. You know how it is sold in 70% or 90% purity levels? You know what that other 10-30% is? Water. I would put it in rice for a day and hope for the best, take the battery out and put it in the bag as well, along with the back cover.
Had you followed the instructions for the ZAGG invisible shield, you would have taken the battery out and left it out for the installation and another 12-24 hours after installation to avoid an issue such as this. Live and learn though. I've installed them 4 different times and have done the same each time, leaving the battery out for at least 12 hours, though usually closer to 18-20 hours and the first time, a full day.
i dont know why people use those type of screen protection. it gives orange peel feel.
any way, you can always call custom support and told them your phone keep freezing and reboot. they will send u a refurbish one. if your phone is rooted or running other rom, dont do it.
lol dunking your phone in alcohol, have you even done that yourself?

Yes, commit fraud AFTER posting about it online. If you ever wonder why devices and insurance costs are going up (and then you complain about them), this is the reason right here.
Go to hobby lobby and buy some silica or what ever its called. The stuff that comes in new shoes to collect moisture. Put in a zip lock bag with that stuff for a couple days. It'll works better than rice.

i turned the phone off and took out the battery for the installation, but i powered it on like 30min after that, i didn't a warning anywhere where it said to leave it for additional time off, plus all these people on youtube apply it without even turning the phone off.
i didn't do the alcohol trick though, as my phone didn't fall into a swimming pool, i'm kinda hoping the amount of liquid the entered was not that big, plus it's not water, it's that special solution that comes with the screen protector, it usually has a bigger density and also evaporates quicker than water, so i'm hoping the corrosion won't be big. anyways, it's stilll inside a closed bag of rice, it's been in there for ~21hrs , will keep it maybe for an additional day just in case. the problem is i powered the phone on when it started freezing a couple of times, instead of putting it right away to dry.

Consumers can't buy 100% pure alcohol, even if you could, I still wouldn't use it as alcohol isn't that chemically different from water, so it would still be bad for the internals of the device.

People returning phones that they knew they had broken and voided the warranty is why companies make it that much harder to get warranty replacements now. You think that Sprint, VZW, and Asurion raised the cost of insurance plus the deductible just to make extra money? How naive are people? I also like the fact that three different people suggested returning the phone after it almost certainly had water damage. If the water set off one of the indicators in the phone, then the OP would be screwed and get charged full retail for the replacement.
i agree with the rubbing alcohol theory, it helps against possible future corrosion issues, but as my phone didn't fall into a swimming pool or washing machine i didn't want to go extreme on it, so i picked the rice method, looked all over for silica gel bags, i know i have them somewhere ,but couldn't find them, so i only ended up with the rice method. i took the phone out now, after being 25 hrs in the rice package, it powered up well, got passed the pin screen (where it used to freeze) with no problems, and so far so good, tried the speaker it worked, also tried calling myself from another phone and in-call speaker is also working. will keep an eye on it, hopefully i won't have any wifi or signal issues (like other people reported), my only fear is corrosion on the long run, but getting it to work now with no issues would satisfy me at the moment.
edit: the water indicator still looks like this , so hopefully not a lot of liquid entered..
As the title says BE CAREFUL. While installing the wet apply Zagg, I guess there was alot of excess liquid, and some of it got into the Power Button, and it STOPPED working. Couldn't press it at all, so I figured maybe it was SW related, and took out the battery. The moment I put it in, the phone started to boot and I knew something was wrong.
I freaked out, called Samsung, and put the Gnex in rice. Told them it just "stopped working" , and that I needed a replacement ASAP. Went through everything told me that I'd have to put a credit card on the line and they'll send me a new device, so I did.
30 minutes later, I go to check on my device (just bare Nexus, no battery, back cover, etc) and I stick the battery in. To my surprise, the phone didn't boot up by itself, and so I hold it down and viola! Worked like a charm. I looked up to the heavens, and screamed in joy (seriously, my gf was scared).
Anyways, BE CAREFUL. Don't add too much, I think the liquid is alcohol based as it dries quickly and smells like it, so I wouldn't be too worried, but still, I THOUGHT I BROKE MY NEXUS!
Now I have to call Samsung and tell them to cancel the order... Ugh. -__-
Anyone else have similar experiences? Also, I can't get the bottom and top pieces to attach, they just slide off at the corners, can anyone provide some insight?

Thanks man! I was so mad too, nearly kicked my laptop when it FC Chrome while looking up the Samsung Warranty number.

This post didn't scare me away from Zagg, all the egg-shelling on their product did.
I always put a lot and I squigy alot out too ... Never had a problem and I applied them to like 5 phones and 2 tablets

Both videos on Youtube didn't have a problem, and if Zagg had included some instructions, I wouldn't have resorted to Youtube in the first place. Just trying to help out others.
I applied a wet shield to mine. Pulled battery, applied shield, let it dry, good to go.
I heard about letting it dry, which I thought I did, liquid still got in it however.

When I applied the Zagg protector, I got a bunch of the liquid on the front of the phone, but I was careful enough to make sure it didn't run off the sides. I was paranoid thinking the liquid would damage my phone, but it turned out okay in the end.
I just bought an XO Skins screen protector (wet application) and I haven't installed it yet. I'm thinking about using a tiny strip of masking tape for the ear piece and taping over the sides so everything is not exposed. Anyone think this is a good idea? I'm just really paranoid lol.

Just take out the battery before hand, don't drown your device in liquid when installing, and LEAVE IT OFF OVERNIGHT before putting the battery back in to let everything to dry. I've down about 7 wet installs and never had any issues, but I've always allowed for at least 8 hours before using the device again.
the glue of masking tape might stick to sides or skin.....generally the masking tapes are cheap....it would be a pain to remove the glue without scratching the screen or edges....i applied zagg....saw the orange peel effect, and removed it in 5 min.....although i kept it again in box....i dont think zagg is good in terms of orange peel.
I agree, Zagg has too much orange peel, XO skins are better.

Use painter's tape - it doesn't leave a residue.

I installed my XO Skins last night. Used painters tape and placed it over the ear piece and the whole outer parts(around the phone, covering the volume rocker, power/lock, micro USB, headphone jack and back speaker). I am usually very paranoid about doing wet installs with screen protectors and this process went well and there was no residue at all. Not even 24 hours later, my screen is clear and only a few micro-bubbles are left. To anyone looking to put XO Skins on and are a little weary, painters tape works flawlessly.

Hello! You have to be extremely cautious with wet-application films. Always. I've installed Zagg's IS on several apple products, like my ex-iphone 4, 2 macbooks pro, and my magic mouse. Apple products are made to tight tolerances, while our GNexes don't. When I saw the gap between the screen glass and the plastic outer housing I knew

Yeah, that and the entire front of the iPhone is a nice slab of glass.
After that, may be from user error, weird mistake, or act of god, sticking to dry install. Pretty good at it, and if you do it after a hot shower in the bathroom, no dust gets under it.

Ok, I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S III 12 days ago. I have had may phones and NEVER had any physical damage. I dropped it from about 2 ft. The phone landed flat on its back and the phone is DESTROYED! The glass shattered in the top left and bottom right corners and there is cracks from corner to corner. The actual screen doesn't display, the back light is broken and even the Bluetooth module is acting up (now cuts in and out). I feel like the phone should have survived the fall and upon quick searches am finding lots of ppl with screen cracking easily. I called sprint and Samsung and neither would assist. I mentioned all of the reports online and they acted like they never heard of any issues. There are reports of others sliding out of their pockets while laying on the ground(looking under car) and falling a few inches and shattering. So I want to attempt to round the guys up on this one- anyone who is having issues with the SGS3 screen cracking or overall weak please post their experience here. Mine did not even have any scratches from the fall or signs of physical damage. After I talked to sprint and samsung the phone took some additional "falls" but I am posting a pic. The upper left and bottom right spiderwebs are the original damage.

Seems to be just a problem with the blue one. If you bought it 12 days ago, you could try some solution to make the screen look non-cracked (is it even possible?). Then you can bring it in for a return.
Unethical? Maybe. Illegal? Actually, I'm not sure. As long as you dont get caught...

Ha yea i already claimed insurance on it, cant go 2 days w/o a phone ya no...
I dropped my phone one time. I hope I never do it again and feel sorry for anyone who does do it.
Gorilla GLASS. Its not shatter proof. Its scratch resistant. Think about how thin the phone is? How the screen goes right to the bezel? How the glass is curved? The phone itself doesn't offer much protection between ground and glass when dropped.
Drop a glass cup from 2 feet, sometimes you'll get lucky and it not break or crack but chances are it'll crack or shatter.

I had my phone in my lap and dropped the phone when I got out of the car onto the concrete floor.i almost had a heart attack. But to my surprise it did not break. I have a TPU case protecting it. Guess I was lucky this time.
I know this might sound harsh but its probably what most people are thinking...... put a case on it. Its an investment and you should always protect your investments

I have a blue one and I dropped it onto asphalt from 3-4 feet and not one crack or ding. Incipio case and a screen protector saved the day.
stop lying and the steps to phone ownership
first, i'm sorry your phone is broken. you will have to get a new one thru insurance unless god is on your side.
second.. do you think we're *******s? Look at that screen. 2 feet you said? did you drop it on to diamonds?
2 feet and my phone exploded is cute but try 1....4 feet and my phone broke and then i got mad and threw it 50 feet.
that story wont work. youre better off being good on the phone and hoping htey hook it up than tryign to tell them that something is wrong with yoru galaxy and it explodes when dropped.
buying and owning a phone:
1. choose, buy, pay for, acquire phone.
2. open box and remove from packaging.
3. PUT A NICE ASS SCREEN PROTECTOR (roughly invisishield quality) ON PHONE
4. PUT A ****ING CASE ON IT
5. havinjg done the most obvious things to do, consider putting money in a green mutual fund.
that nice screen protector is so key. someting a few mils thick to not only prevent scratches but absorb impact.

From light scratches yes. But not if you take keys or something similar and scratch it like your cutting a steak.
Thing about glass you have to have something harder then the glass to scratch it. Hence why diamonds scratch just about anything.

ok douchwad- do you think this is my first phone ever? Do you think im 12 y. o.? I have many phones- never have i seen the entire phone get destroyed when it lands flat on its back in the grass. I feel like there is possibly a manufacturing issue since a quick google search yeilds several ppl saying close to the same thing. You can believe that I chucked my phone across the room or that I spiked it on concrete or whatever. Bottom line I dont need to hear from a**bags that want to doubt what happened or explain that glass cracks. I want to hear from others that have had similar issues.
I feel like if a small fall is going to destroy a phone there should at least be a scratch on the surface that if fell on. I could understand a cracked screen but damage to this extent is a bit excessive for a fall in grass! There are reports of others screens getting cracked by pushing the power button! So if you want to call me a liar or whatever then please just keep it to yourself and move to the next forum.

Agreed. Original Gorilla Glass was a much better product. Last phone was a year old. No case or screen protector, always in a pocket with keys and change, my clumsy ass dropped it all the time. It never had a scratch, the bezel was basically destroyed from dropping though. It finally met its match when it found the corner of a poured concrete step.
My first day with this phone it got a deep scratch in my pocket. Back to a case and screen protector... At least the black and white ballistic case looks awesome.

People can complain all they want about gorilla glass but it's still glass and should be treated as such. Maybe some King Kong glass is what people need.
If I understand correctly (and it is possible that I do not) you dropped a phone, that was in a case, two feet into the grass and this is the damage that occurred?
No offense but you are asking people to suspend disbelief to a rather illogical level.

I woke up this morning in a rush, threw my phone in my pocket. Ran out the door to class.
Realized after class when a friend wanted to look at my phone they were with my keys! There are all these little microscratches and a few bigger ones DEAD CENTER.
It isn't too noticeable until light his it from a certain direction.
But I cannot freakin believe that I let that happen. I usually am completely OCD about these things, and I normally put screen protectors and cases on my phone the MINUTE I open the damn thing.
Hell - I do it for all my devices. My laptop, Vita, my gaming consoles, I have protective stuff for everything!
The Note 2 didn't have a Zagg yet, and they list it on their page but it isn't featured or "imaged". The last time I did that with Zagg, the damn thing came to be unpunctured - aka I had to manually cut the material out with a knife (hard as hell to do, near impossible without stretching!)
So I waited one day too long it seems. Screw me right?
I'm so annoyed and bothered now. Brand new phone, brand new scratches. First phone screen scratch issue I've had in over 4 years.
Does anyone know any real solutions (aka not toothpaste -.-) that I could try to buffer them out?

Have you returned phones to ATT before? Im not familiar with the process and how easy it may or may not be.
If you get a replacement, they do sell the Zagg Shields for the Note II at Best Buy. When I first bought my Note 2, I immediately drove to Best Buy and picked up the HD version of the Zagg Shield for it! It definitely looks good on the phone. They had the smudge free version of the shield but I'm not sure if it lowers the clarity...

If you're within your 14 day return window, they will just charge you $35 restock fee and give you a new one. Or .. just suck it up.. slap on a screen protector now and you won't even notice the scratches.

Happened to me the 2nd day I had my Note.
I put it in my backpack for less than 15 minutes in the afternoon. THAT NIGHT I got my new screen protectors in the mail and as I was going to apply the screen I noticed the scratches all over the screen.
The glass is NOT scratch proof by any means just because it is gorilla glass. Sure typical metal wont scratch the screen but just about anything else will.
I took it back to ATT and they switched it for a new one, no questions asked for the restocking price of 35 bucks.
I slapped a screen protector on my new Note the minute I opened the box.

Have had phone for a month now and just noticed a 1cm scratch thats barely visible with the eye but can be felt with my fingernail. No idea what caused is ive been babying this. Thats what I get for believing in gorilla glass. Ordered JLG today to prevent future occurences
If it makes you feel any better I cracked the glass completely... I'm also very careful with my phones. It took a 3 foot fall onto pavement (hands not used the size yet) and the glass is completely shattered... it wasn't even 24 hours old. Now I am waiting fr the repair place to get the full lcd+touch+glass screen back in stock - will cost me over $300 to have it fixed.
Sooo - little scratches on your screen...
I'm not sure what kind of glass Sammie is using on the Note 2 but it seems pretty fragile. My original galaxy and moto Atrix handled much worse falls without any damage whatsoever.

GN2 screen is larger more prone to damage so I'm using flip cover protection on it.
