InvisibleSHIELD

Just a heads up
I was in a local mall in New Hampshire, USA looking at cellphone cases for my vibrant at one of those kiosk and noticed two more booths was an Invisible-shield booth with demonstrations...ect
Long story short i picked up a full body InvisibleSHIELD for $25 and they installed for $5 bucks and did a great job.

many people have complaints with with invisible shield. the main problem is that it gets dirty easily

agreed

It does seem to have a slight sticky feel, I figured its because it takes 24-48 hours to fully cure
Is this how it gets dirty?
edit
never mind i see what you mean

Well ill see, if i dont like ill just remove.
Whats a better alternative if i decide to remove?

My invisible shield is clean all around basically... but I didn't know anything about zagg when I got it.

Zagg seems to be getting some bad reviews on this forum. I bought it the day I ordered my Vibrant and installed it the day I received it. Back looks awesome, and it is not nearly as slippery as the back cover alone. Front however.... zagg is slightly narrower than the screen, and it is bugging me. Also, it is far from invisible on the front, but I guess I will live with it rather than having my screen scratched. What really sucks is that the "full body cover" does NOT cover the corners nor the bezel, and we know what happens to these phones if you drop them.
I will have my case soon, as I planned - I put the zagg on so my phone does not get scratched with the particles that get under the case. Once I have the case on, I will feel a bit more comfortable handling the phone.

I had a BSE(bestskinsever.com) on my iPhone screen for 2+ years. I took the back skin off because of the "dirt" issues and because it didn't stay on the rounded edges very well. I just applied a skin to my Vibrant. As far as I know, BSE are identical to Zagg/Invisible Shield, but around 1/3 or 1/2 the cost. Some people don't like them, but it gives me peace of mind to know my screen is more protected.

I brought the T-Mobile case the first day I got my Vibrant. After two months I decided to get the Invisible Shield for the back. The phone itself is big enough already, I dont need any extra bulk feel too it. For the Screen Protector I'm using Realook which is alot better then Clearfreak I had at the beginning.
As someone posted, the Invisible Shield doesnt protect the Chrome or Edges around the phone.

My second day with it. Now tht its fully cured
The back feels great
The screen not to much. Its somewhat finger print resistant but at the same time playing FPS game like nova you fingers dont slide as good on screen and has kind of a rubbery feel.
How does Realook feel is it a harder surface?

Realook is hard and not sticky at all

Yea woke up this morning "day 3" and picked up phone and its not sticky anymore.
Im really liking this.
With the invisibleshield on the back the battery cover feels solid and gives the phone an overall solid feel to it.
Also the battery cover comes off easier now
I might remove screen protector though IDK. Im more worried about the plastic back cover scratching. The screen was more for reducing fingerprints than actual scratching , im mean its gorilla glass and all. I never had any issues with my N1.

Thanks for the heads up if i decide to remove the one on my screen now ill give that a shot

For the Screen Protector, get the Realook. It feels and look like nothing is there....

So i took off my front piece i hate it. Left the back piece because i like the way it feels and still protects back from scratches.
Got a realook SP just finished installing and yup its 10 times better than invisible shield SP like others said it doesn't feel really any different than it does without one on

Dang, shoulda bought Realook, it is soooo much cheaper than the one I bought. The brand I got is good (it's not a Zagg brand), and I have no complaints, but I paid 20 bucks a piece for them (I have two Vibrants, one for me and one for the wife )
You can get a 2 pack of these Realook Screen protectors from Amazon.com for 11 bucks shipped.....coulda saved myself 35 bucks

Learn from your mistakes.
I got zagg too. I'm not hating it but definitely would like to save some money...

Yeah, I also got the invisible shield but I just ordered the realook sp a couple days ago for the front.

[REVIEW][PICS] Nillkin Ultra Slim Hard Shield Faceplate

Today i received the case and again i want so share some thoughts about it.
(let me say it right here: this is the best case ive seen so far and i can recommend it to everyone that is searching for a very slim case with considerable protection)
ORDER
i ordered the case from Obostore. it took 7 days for shipping...quite good for free international shipping. they also give discount if you order several pieces.
MATERIAL
i expected some regular plastic case but actually it is something i would describe as rubberized plastic.
makes the phone definitively way less slippery.
as far as i can tell it doesn't attract dust.
FIT
it fits perfectly and the cutouts on the side are made well. the phone fits very tight and doesn't move in the case (like in the zenus skin air jacket i reviewed some pages ago)
PROTECTION
if you are searching for an everyday-protection against scratches and some little drops this case should be your choice.
as you can see on the pictures the top and bottom of the phone are not covered by the plastic.
but that doesn't bother me because (unlike the samsung mesh-case) it fully covers the corners of the phone.
so if it drops on flat ground it will be fully protected. (not from great hight of course)
quite hard to explain but i tried to show it to you in the pictures below.
i tilted the phone to 45° and then take a shot that is showing that there is still some space between phone and surface (light coming through).
the camera is also covered very good so no scratches should get on it.
SCREEN PROTECTOR
the case came with a free screen protector from nillkin. i don't have any reference but i think its pretty good.
(although i messed it up by having a little airbubble in the down right corner. my fault.... )
CONCLUSION
this is by far the best case i have seen or used so far.
sure there are some cases with better protection but in my opinion they often add too much bulk and mess with the great look an slimness of the phone.
so i can fully recommend this case to you!
(if you liked this review please show by hitting the thanks-button)
(and sorry again for the bad picture-quality )

I also have one, and am very happy with it, but they seem to have a minor design flaw.
Doesn't really affect the usability of the case, hell, I didn't even notice it until someone on another forum pointed it out, and I doubt I ever would have if they hadn't.

what flaw are you talking about?
(although it may be better if you never tell me )

1 of the sides did not flush well with the phone when facing up.
Looks like the cutting is slightly off will gradual abscess from top going to the bottom.
Its pretty obvious if u see it at an angle.

Only seems to be an issue with the black case
The white one I got seems to fit fine
Sorry, photos aren't very clear

I also have the one in OP but chose red instead of black. I have to say it's pretty awesome. The color looks classy and the case fits just fine.
I like the rubberized texture. Without it, I always felt like the phone was going to slip right off my hand. Now not so much. Plus it almost doesn't add any thickness (I'd say around 1.5 mm at most).
Very happy.

Be careful with unprotective cases, barely there cases and only rear protecting cases

Here it is the white one, after few weeks of usage.
h t t p://imgur.com/a/LnGKp - sorry i can't post links yet (new user)
I have the phone for 2 montsh now, but i have 2 other type of case and using a different one all the time. The first 2 week was fine, no coloration at all, but at the 3rd week the brown coloration happened, which was my pocket. And the funny part is, i am carrying it in my pocket for 40min each (work)day.
The way i imagine this case:
- hard plastic
- soft touch overlay
- some thin protecting layer
No coloration in the first few weeks, but after the ""protecting layer"" wear down, the case started picking up everything. I tried to clean it, no luck.
Lastly, i really don't know what are those pink spots, or where do they came from. (It's not the camera )

I've one of these cases too.
The first thing I did was to use my fingernail to scratch away the NILLKIN words. Took me just 2 min, and I had a perfectly blank back for the case.

How good it fits to the phone? Does this case scratch the phone?
Thanks!

BasalGuardz Screen protector for GNexus - Unboxing and Review

Hello,
I have placed order for the Basalguardz Ultra-Clear Anti-Fingerprint screen protectors. What attracted me the most is the very low price
compared to all screen protectors in the market, while still shipping with 3 films and all necessary tools to install on your phone.
Here is the unboxing:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here is the protector on the phone:
Now, let me jump into the good stuff and bad stuff about this protector:
Pro's
1- Extremely cheap compared to any protector in the market, considering the fact that you get 3 films in one pack for the price of 2 films
by other providers.
2- Brilliant customer services, I only had to contact their head office in US and they set me up with a direct shipping off Hong Kong (As
as living in Middle East and it's way cheaper and faster to ship via HK mail).
3- Above average packaging with proper instructions on the pack and a packing slip for extra assurance that you get the right protector
before opening the pack.
4- Goes all the way to the edges, which is good in the sense that you got your screen fully protected.
Con's
1- The way the screen protector is installed is very weird: Normally other competitors will place "Remove to install" striker on the top on
the screen to allow for a better alignment above the earpiece and front facing camera. However, BasalGuardz decided to place that at the
bottom! Not sure why would that be considered a good idea! I had to remove the protector couple of times in order to properly
align in and end result, alot of dust got in between and my end install isn't the cleanest.
Here is a picture to explain:
2- Goes all the way to the edges, which is bad in the sense that you might have dust on the edges (especially at the bottom) since the
screen is curved and that could cause dust to slip in and screw things up for you!
3- The texture on the screen is very clear yet it feels very sticky and it doesn't necessary keeps the fingerprints off the actual surface,
still catch some oil and fingerprints (not very visible but still not as marketed).
Overall rating: 3.5/5
Would I recommand this? to be hoenst, I don't think so! beacuse it's very hard to align the protector with the peel happeing from the
bottom unless you are really a professional, not to mention that it's very easy to have fingerprints all over it so techinically speaking
they are selling you a product that doesn't do what it's suppose to do!
Let me know what do you guys think. Anyone else used it, shout out your short review!
Regards,,,

Thanks for the review. I would love a fingerproof protector but hate the blurry matte ones. Don't want to waste a bunch of money finding a good one.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Go get the SGP Oleophobic .. brilliant stuff ( still doesn't cover the majority of the screen which may look dodgy sometimes )

I emailed BasalGuardz with my review and this is this their reply:
Thank you.
That placing the tabs at the top was something that we probably need to be doing. It does indeed make it easier with this phone.
As far as the anti-fingerprint. It will certainly greatly reduce the fingerprints without the need for a matte surface, which some people do not like. Personally, I love the matte protectors. Others want more clarity. I just do not like the "sticky" feel of clear protectors.
It will not, however, keep every fingerprint off. It your hands are incredibly sweaty or dirty, then it would certainly not help in that case.
Thank you,

Yeah Trident did the same thing w/ their screen protectors putting the tab on the bottom.. stupidest thing I've ever seen.

You are complaining that they put the tabs on the bottom, really? Just stick a piece of tape on the top and start from there. Tape is a necessity when installing cling protectors like these anyways.

[Review] Rearth- Ringbo Ultimate Clear Plus+ Screen Protector

Found this on amazon and thought it looked good. Reviews were ok, but I hadnt seen anyone mention it on here for the SGS3.
Price Paid: $11.99 plus shipping. $17.09 Total
Purchased From: Amazon.com
Specs:
Clear Optic Polyester
Thickness 0.15mm
Oleophobic coating to reduce fingerprints
3H~4H Surface Solidity
Pros:
-Very nice packaging. Very clear and concise instructions.
-Came with screen cleaning cloth and plastic squeegee.
-Comes in a two pack, I installed both on 2 different phones.
-Hard to notice it when installed.
-Initially felt a little tacky, but after a day now, screen feels almost like glass.
-No issues so far
Cons:
-Doesnt come all the way to the edge of the screen, this can be considered good/bad. Due to phone design, these types of protectors have to be cut smaller to not lift off. But I notice the protector is the exact width of the display screen, almost barely "too skinny" (pics should show what I mean)
Overall, Im very happy with it. It fits PERFECTLY with a Casemate Tough. The protector comes right to the edge of the case. So my phone is almost completely covered. There should be no issues at all with the phone case lifting the protector, as they arent touching anywhere.
I did mess up a little on the application on one of the phones, so its not perfectly squared up on the phone, but Im worried I will wreck it if I try to remove it and re-position it.

The Rearth website is very nice and they have tons of info about their products, down to materials used and how they make their screen protectors. Pleasantly surprised by that.

I used this on my S3 before I got my defender case and went back to Best Skin Ever. This is the best dry protector I've used thus far. I love the fact that it comes with 2 also. I have one more left, some day I may go back to it.
I agree though...this protector is awesome and very clear and I'm not even a fan of dry applications! :good:

I have the same protector on my s3..fit and feel are great, but mine already has micro scratches in certain "high traffic" areas...

At least theyre on the screen protector and not on the screen itself. Also it's only visible under direct sunlight and you have to be really looking for them.

Thanks for the detailed review and pics! Just put in an order for a pack :]

I had this brand screen protector in my HTC Thunderbolt for more then 8 months without a problem, its in my Amazon wish list already. So far the screen protector i bought at a VZW store is holding on very good for $14

Accessories [review] Whitestone Dome for Pixel 6 Pro

back again with a whitestone dome review for the pixel 6 pro. whitestone was kind enough to send me a sample and provide xda readers with a discount code, XDA10PX which will take 10% off any pixel protector through 2.28.22. you can order directly from them at https://www.whitestonedome.com/prod...id-dispersion-tech-with-camera-film-protector (non-affiliate link.)
ive used the dome on my 2 and 3 xls, but it's been a few years so i had to brush up on the instillation technique. the process is straightforward and when things go as they should it works well, but attention to detail is key. id suggest watching their official video a time or two before doing it. even as someone who had done this several times the first installation did not go well and i had air bubbles. thankfully they provide extra adhesive so i didnt cure it, cleaned everything off and tried again. the second time was better, but i still had a few very tiny bubbles. i went ahead and cured it and used it for about a week, but i could see them on white screens which drove me crazy. the included removal tool (nothing more than a laminated card) worked really well. on previous devices removing the protector meant shattering it. im not sure if you could clean the glass and use it again, but if nothing else it was intact. after starting fresh the next install went flawlessly.
if you havent used a whitestone before be prepared to gather some lint between your case and protector, especially in the first week. a quick wipe down with an alcohol pad will help this. it also tends to collect fingerprints more, especially in the first few days of use. but overall the feel is great and ive noticed no degradation in fingerprint sensor performance even though i didnt reregister like whitestone recommends. for the record, my fingerprint sensor sucks and continues to suck, but its no worse lol. these arent cheap protectors, but after a few years without them ive been reminded why they are the best protectors ive ever used.

It looks good, also so thin. How it performs in the long term because I don't trust tempered glass cause it breaks soon!

After my second TPU screen protector stretched and got partially uninstalled by my case yesterday, I noticed that Amazon UK was stocking these screen protectors & although they're a high price, I thought I'd take a chance as all reviews seem good, they have a lifetime warranty & the TPU ones are just trash to use day-to-day.
Honestly, I am shocked at how easy this was to install without any glue leaking into crevices (ie. Buttons & speakers), and also how well it installed using the jig. I recently installed a cheaper Amazon brand glue based TGSP on my brother's S21 but it leaked everywhere, glued the buttons together & muted his top earpiece!
I, myself, have always used Spigen TGSP & although they're good products, they all had to be hand installed, manually, meaning they were always slightly out and always caught dust underneath before you could install them completely - this thing though, wow! The video was very simple to follow & after I made sure there was no specks on my screen (after releasing the adhesive), I just placed the TGSP on top of the jig, let it drop down and settle, then cured with the provided UV light & then cleared the edges with the alcohol wipe.
It looks absolutely fantastic & feels super smooth compared to the TPU protectors - you genuinely wouldn't even be able to tell it's on there (with my Spigen Liquid Air) if it wasn't for the camera cut out hole.
Thanks for the recommendation @roirraW "edor" ehT & @kellybrf

Just installed mine. Now have a perfect phone
