Has anyone picked up a SkinIt for the T989 yet? Currently i am looking for a front Decal for my T989. I picked up a full body white Decal for my Vibrant a few years ago and loved it. I would like something similar however i am not sure if the skinit is just a rear decal or not.

I currently have a TPU white case i picked up off of ebay for $2.95 and love it i would just like to put a bit of white on the front. It would be a plus if i could get the longhorn logo on it as well.
Do they have a white decal for the face of ours?!

thats what i was asking if the skinnit came with a front decal also!
I bought 2 of them and I didn't like the fitment. The skin for the battery cover is 2 pieces and there is a big gap between them. The front skin is ok but has a cutout for the screen so you will need a square screen protector to cover it. Unless you don't care about that. There isn't anything for the bezel.

Sounds good, i liked the cut out on my last phone it helped me determine the edges. how is the line up look on the buttons? I dont need a battery cover im just looking for the front.

not sure if it's just a bad screen protector or the screen is not entirely flat, but it seems kinda strange to me that only the edges of the phone that the screen protector won't stick. i've never seen this in any of my previous SP installations. any thoughts anyone? btw, these are the really cheap SPs from ebay, but they've always worked for me.
Correct, screen is not flat. Take a good look at the edges and you'll see they curve awat in the last few mm.

It looks pretty cool imo. Like when you drop water onto a penny.
That is why some screen protectors don't cover the entire front of the GS3. If it bothers you I believe this screen protector is slightly smaller than the front so it doesn't leave those lifted edges.

the SP i had on is slightly smaller than the screen already, but i don't think this is the problem here though, instead i think it's my screen's edges that is not flush. has anybody else with a S3 that has this problem? it would suck going back to costco and telling them this is the reason i wanted to exchange my phone.
its ur screen protector

the entire edge of the screen is beveled downward to create a curve at the edges. run your finger along the edges and you'll notice it, it's pretty substantial and was an intended design. if you want a protector that will cover all the edges you will need a flexible one. u suggest the skinomi one that's on sale on Amazon.

Did you really even have to ask that?
And this is really unfortunate. My 5 for $0.99 screen protectors from ebay have the same stupid 2mm non-sticking edge at the top/bottom. Maybe I just use a scalpel to cut the next one before I apply it? Might leave a really sharp edge though..
SGP has a Flex HD protector that is supposed to offer full screen coverage. It's $18 but I'm going to give it a shot.

I have used belkin and incipio protectors, and both do not stick around the edges of the phone. It does detract from appearance a bit, but I am not going to worry about it anymore. I have yet to see a screen protector that is 100% flush with the screen.
A tip for those who got the same screen protector. If you have a hair blow dryer, hot blow dry the screen protector first to the point where it gets kinda soft, peel off the part 1 of the SP then apply it. blow drying the SP would soften it and would make it cooperate to stick in the screen. Now, I haven't tried this as I had just ordered the SP similar to this but I've tried the same method when I had the htc sensation(contour glass). There's a big possibilty that this would work

Nice suggestion, but it doesn't make the glue more gummy or anything? Would really have appreciated it if samsung took this into account before they put this odd curve on the glass. Why don't phone companies just ship screen protectors and cases with their phones? In fact the casing should be shock resistant and cheap to replace on EVERY phone. Maybe just a chassis and then you put whatever case around it even.
90% of people stick their nice phone in an ugly $2.99 case. It's a huge market that samsung and others are just giving away. The $39.99 cases don't look any better either...
Thinking of buying this sick awesome white screen protector. Any1 bought this before?? Only downside of this awesome screen protector is that it coved the led notification light.

I have it. Mine is also in white. The anti finger print film is really nice however, I it comes at the cost of giving your screen protector a different smooth matte finish/look. So what that means is that if you are the type of fellow that keeps his nexus at minimal brightness, and don't bother with this protector. The matte finish will make your screen seem not as dark.
Also, for some reason the protector doesn't cover the whole front. It intentionally leaves a black ring of glass around the protector.. It makes it look really nice at the expense of a not fully protected screen. I like mine cus it fits well with my white housing .
Oh right finally on my version (idk if they have another white version) the white portion is has a white flowers texture aka its not completely smooth
Hope this helps

Pictures would be of mighty help, I'd love to pick up something like this and I'm a guy who prefers it the screen to be..brighter rather than dark would that be an issue? how about outdoor readability? and does it create a crappy rainbow effect like cheaper anti glare/ fingerprint protectors?
I went ahead and bought a white 1. I will post pic when it come...I also have the white housing and original button and back cover. Might spray paint those to make my entire phone pure white....99%

Hey guys I'm looking if there's a screen protector that covers just the screen. I'm looking to order a matte black decal to cover the front of the phone around the screen to match my black UAG case (favorite case so far btw, its amazing!!! If you havent tried it your really should. 8th case is the charm? Lol). But right now I have the spigen curved screen protector on and I still want one when I put the from decal on just wondering what you guys would recommend. I'm a little hesitant to put a screen protector over the skin or vice versa. Or is there any skins that include a screen protector??
PS the curved screen protector works awesome with this case. You can't even tell there's one on there and there is no bubbling or edges being pushed up. I will post more about this in the UAG case forum when I get a chance to get some pics and stuff.

Best I can think of would be getting a universal screen protector. Downfall is they aren't going to be as good as the name brand protectors, but pretty much like the cheap generic china made protectors you get off of ebay.
Upside is they usually come with multiple (3-5) sheets that you can cut out your self. Otherwise I was unable to find exactly what your looking for (nor heard of any). Maybe someone else has though, wait and see.

Just wanted to post this item as I have just received one and I will say that it is pretty much perfect for what I wanted.
It is nicely packaged, includes extra screws and protects the corners while being extremely light and maintaining the One's premium feel.
It does NOT protect the back side, even on a table. This is fine for me as all I really care about is denting the corners. Also the power button takes a bit getting used to hitting as it is recessed, but there is no way around this with this design.
It took almost 3 weeks to get here and I will probably order a spare silver one.
I have attached some pics for you.
Enjoy

Hi,
Here are a few pics of my black on black. With an Xtreme guard on the back I screwed up a little bit. Anyway.
Nice I just ordered a red one.
Do you guys think that a back protector is needed?? I get my one on Saturday and I purchased a front screen protector but I'm starting to think I need a back one with three one being aluminum and all.
We see you meow on our nexus⁴ can we haz some more? Ohai there meow aren't u looking sexy >^.^<

I'm from the school of thought that A. we destroy the original engineering as little as possible B. some scratching, scuffing is reasonable wear and tear on an item. So, I do no see any point in using a back cover. Like I said, I have dropped the phone 3 times and dented the top corners and it has create a small gap on one corner so I think it's important to protect the corners. For me I also have accidental warranty so if I smash the screen it's only $100 to get a replacement.
The feel of this phone is too nice to ruin it with plastic film.
Looks nice, does it add much weight to the phone and how easy is it to install and finally would it okay with a glass protector?

My question as well. Would this fair okay with the spigen glas.tr protector?
I have held one in hand and it is quite light, feel like it doesn't add much weight if any at all, definitely not very noticeable from what I thought. Also very easy to install. Just curious about the glass screen protector.

Dead simple install and is is VERY light. It is honestly the best IMHO. As for your Screen protector, I can't see why it wouldn't, unless the screen protector extends past the bezel.
about back protector = I would say it realldy depends on what kind of protection you need.
If keeping your device brand new and shiny for as long as possible, you should definitely get one. Otherwise, if a few scratches or wear marks are acceptable to you it is not something you have to consider. However I've always been a user of screen protectors as they are barely visible if applied correctly - and keep your device's value at its best if you plan to resale it someday.
I have tested many protections (incipio feather shine, dual pro, belkin, urban armor gear and finally this aluminium bumper.
I would not recommend this last one for daily use, as IMHO it really does not offer drop protection (shock absorbtion is not one of aluminium blends's characteristics) and prevent the screen to shatter in case you drop it from pocket height. For this reason I will stick with dual pro or UAG cases. But if you're really careful with your device, and just looking for small amount of protection and no bulk addition, then this might be the perfect one for you.
...oh, and I can confirm it adds not weight at all.

I'm sure it's probably fine. The one non draco I have is great so I can't see the fake draco being crap so long as it is aluminum. Just a guess though.
I think it would fit just fine with a spigen gtr on there the glass it not edge to edge or top to bottom.

I've got it and I think it does so I took it out. Not sure if it goes for everyone but from my experience it does. Especially when I was using WiFi at home when I didn't have the bumper case my WiFi signal was always full bar but soon as I put it on it fluctuates between 2 and 3 bars. Just my personal experience I've read from some people that it doesn't affect their signal so maybe mine was a factory defect
