Guys, I've been allowed by BestSkinsEver to provide here a 25% discount coupon on skins for the Galaxy Nexus! They were kind enough to send this coupon.
The coupon is good through June 27th.
Enjoy! :good:

Be careful, only InvisibleShield owns the right/patent to make clear body protectors.
I already bought skins from them during their fathers day sale (I think it was that) so I'm good but a good sale still.

Do these get the orange peel effect? I was debating between this and XO Skins.
Nice. Been using their product ever since I gave them a try. Won't be looking at others for awhile. I came from Zagg and Gadgetshieldz and this has been the best so far
could someone please post photos of how it fits on the display? also is it rubbery like zagg and xo skins or smooth like glass?

looks a bit rubbery like zagg (orange peel effect), can you confirm that?
why is the display white??
Compared to zagg and sgp flex, this has the least orange peel effect that I've encountered. It's a white screen because I took a pic before removing the backing of the skin.
Still on stock Nexus and loving it!
ah, that explains
one last question: how's the spacing between the screens borders and the skin? judging from the pic i'd guess ~1mm, but it's really hard to see. and how does it cope with the screens rounded top/bottom which apparently is the reason so many skins are like 6-8mm shorter than the display.
asking because with shipping to europe it's not so cheap and I'd rather avoid buying a skin not suited for me. would go for the display only btw, not liking those full body skins anymore. they were nice with "square" phones but the rounded corners requiring tiny patches of skin with borders collecting dirt killed it for me.
Perhaps this could help?
Still on stock Nexus and loving it!
Could you take a pic of the orange peel?

couldn't see any orange peel on the pics posted so far
I'm not gonna deny the slight orange peel because there is some but it's nothing compared to zagg or sgp flex. Those are like ocean waves. I'm not a good photographer. This is the best I can do

Yeah, Zagg was driving me crazy. Thanks man!

hm, before that last photo i was ready to buy one. but that pic looks quite orange peely.
I hated the Zagg skin and used a medium expensive clear but pretty thick plastic one on my Galaxy S. Ideally I'd prefer one of those but can't find one that's a guaranteed fit, most skins don't cover the screens edges
Never mentioned no orange peel effect. Some yes but not as bad as zagg or flex. It even took me quite awhile to find an angle that would show the peel. On a regular use, it's hard to see. Of course it's all up to you.

When I had my S2 I went through a lot of screen protectors, the one that I stuck with was the SGP Steinheil Matte series.
It was the only one that didn't give me a rainbow shimmer effect.
I want a matte screen protector for my Gnex but it seems SGP doesn't make one yet for the Gnex.
I bought a highly rated matte screen protector from Amazon called Sir Lancelot's Armor, and it sucked big time. I kept it for about 15 minutes before ripping it out.
Any hints guys?
I hate swyping with my glossy screen.
I know this is gonna sound goofy but i actually think the screen protecter that comes with the otterbox defender is quite matte, and does a decent job of "reducing the rainbows" If it were. Definitely a case with great build quality and if you don't have asurion (not sure what your carrier does for phone insurance) then it would also be something id recommend (dropped the phone in that case a good 5-10x without the slightest ding, or scratch...I know you weren't looking for cases but most "good" stick on ones have been glossy that I've seen...
I picked up a 3 pack of matte screen protectors off Amazon last week and just installed one last night. It only cost about $2.99 free shipping. They've passed my polarized sun glasses to test.

The Ringke Slim case comes with 2 dry application screen protectors that are Matt and worked with the case very well.. I used it for a while until I got the XO Skin. I switched because I like the clear look better then the matt look.
These might be the screen protectors.

Okay yea i saw the case on ebay, I thought it was just a bumper...still a nice case though. But I wasn't looking for a case, rarely use my phone with a case so I figured I tried a bumper. But I will probably try to get a matte screen
The links you have provided are goo protectors but the suppliers dont deliver it to AUS!

Got the Black Carbon Fiber XO Skins for mine and my wife's gnexs. Shipping took 2 days. The install for these are SUPER easy. Unlike with the clear, you don't have to worry about dust and if you mess up anywhere, you just peel it back and stick it back on. I also used a blow drier to make sure it was all stuck just right. I won't be using a case anymore, just the carbon fiber and the clear screen protector for the front. These have a texture to them and aren't the cheap ones that are printed on ebay
Coupons: sprintxo essentially pays for shipping.

Looks good! I just got my clear protector from your post in the other thread. I have a white nexus and it looks great.

Skin on the front? Or do you mean a screen protector?
@OP, it looks great! Hope it won't leave any sticky residue when after it's being removed.
I was tempted to buy this, then I remembered that I have a pretty good hard case. If I had gotten this, there was no way it'd actually fit in the case.
Sorry, by skin I mean I am using their screen protector. The carbon fiber covers the sides and the back. They say they don't leave anything sticky behind.
Anyone get a Red or Blue that can post a pic so I can add it?
I would love a skin like this but that also adds some protection, something between this and a silicone case.
These things feel pretty strong. I bet they can take a lot
Any comments now that you've had this on for a few months? Any peeling at all? Any scratching, dent/nicks, etc? Getting sick of my case and thinking about ditching it for this. Obviously won't provide drop protection, but I want the scratch protection without having to use one the horrid clear ones.
Still looks good. I haven't dropped it on asphalt or anything, but it seems to hold up well.
It also has a slight texture, I have tried other carbon fiber before that was just slick.
anyone have pix?
I got this skin about 5 months ago. No pealing, though at first it wouldn't stick on the lower beveled edge; I had to hold it on for around 15 min real pain in the ass. I was also fooled into thinking it would completely cover the back of my phone, no slits just 2 pieces it is in fact 5 pieces with gaps. Very disappointed with the appearance.
That being said its a tough skin and I rarely use my case anymore.

I posted 2 in the original post. I would post some more for you but I now have the SGS3. It helps when you install to use a blow drier on the fiber. It seems to kind of melt it down to the phone

Recived my DBA Just Like Glass screen protector and three words define it, it feels just like glass.

Immediately after installing onto my Galaxy S III, I can instantly feel how smooth the screen protector is; as if there was no screen protector at all my fingers just roll against it. Seamlessly
DBA stays true to what it saids for Just Like Glass, it repels against any oils or makeup etc.
I see no distorion to the touch pannel, nor oranage peel compared to other screen protectors
A truly unique feature of Just Like Glass is how it increase break reiestance to the touchscreen (not willing to try, but I do trust their word)
heres a video depicting how strong Just Like Glass is Just Like Glass
Only cons which are apparent to is:
How at times there will be a rainbow texture when the phone is off in certain lighting (rarely happens),I really do not like it but its not a huge problem - just noting it
Also how it does not fill the whole screen - due to the design of the Galaxy S III curved glass (not DBA's fault), I do relize there is design constrants but I still do wish it filled more the the front surface
In conclusion, Just Like Glass is the best screen protector on the market. There is some flaws but its overseen once you see the dozens of features it has compared to other screen protectors (Zagg,SGP etc. etc.). Just Like Glass is now replacing all ZAGG screen protectors on my devices as ZAGG is not even close to par on Just Like Glass grounds.
Overall I am extremely happy and satasfied with just like glass and reccmond a plunge into this new company as there is no chance of let down

Just like glass the worst product I ever bought
If I could give 0 I would. This product is of pure quality. Yes it probably does what it is supposed to do but adhesion property is terrible, I probably have installed at least 100 screen protectors, so I am not new to this. Yes it is smooth but it is ugly. Terrible fit on the screen, leaves some strange markings after a couple days, looks scratched up as well. Looks like a home made piece of plastic with cheap adhesive. A waste of money, Do not be fooled by some good reviews. This is the worst srcreen protector I have ever used and installed. I went back to steinhill and realized that it feels just as smooth and the build quality is a million times better than JLG. Just like glass is an unfinished product, the edges are terrible and the adhesive they use is low quality. Do not be fooled by the good reviews. I have installed hundreds of good screen protectors and I am not new to this. I asked for a refund and the company said they will ship me a replacement. Is this some kind of joke? I don't want this product. My phone is a Blackberry Z10 the cutouts are not precise, looks like a 7 year old cut it. I don't understand the good reviews.
Have you tried this?

and i also ordered this to fit with... my precious will be more precious
What are the best skins for htc one ? i don't like slick wraps...
IMO dbrand has the best fit and quality. You can order customs from them as well if you can manage to fit in their busy schedule. I've ordered two customs from them so far and love it. I want a new one but they've been so busy lately.
yes i have the brushed aluminium excellent looks great just ordered the titanium .

Looks good and the HTC alignment looks spot on too. I bought some skins from Luckyskins.com and the HTC alignment was not good at all.
Side note, if you really wanted to pair the skin with the Spigen, you should've left the left and right sides bare. There's a good chance the Spigen case will peel the side skins back otherwise. Those crystal cases tend to be a very tight fit with a bare phone, I've never had good luck stuffing a skinned phone into them.

I just got my UAG Monarch series for my S8+. As usual it fits great, the keys are very responsive. Now I hope I can find a good tempered glass that fits without peeling off. I installed an IQ shield (wet install) and had to trim the edge (badly trimmed off by me).

How does it do for edge protection?? Is the top and bottom lip seem to give decent protection on the screen when face down? It barely raises the screen off the desk when face down. I have the Spegein Heavy Armor and it almost feels like the phone will fall out at the first good impact. It also doesnt seem to have much edge protection at all.
It has around 1mm gap
Is the gap enough though? I've always liked UAG cases and something that will protect the device well. This is my first edge phone,so not sure if it will be enough
I agree on that, I might have to go back to an otter box. I hate bulking up the phone like that.
I think the gap is much better for me than my spigen liquid armor
Thank you for posting pictures of this case!
I ordered it off of amazon, but unfortunately, it will be getting shipped in a month .
But I really wanted to see how it looked, so thank you so much for this!
You're welcome. Pre ordered mine on the 1st week of April from uag site, got 2 days after my s8+ arrives
Really nice case, you have better pictures then the UAG website. I didn't realize it was two tone like that.
I'm really curious how the dimensions of the Monarch compare to an Otterbox Commuter or Symmetry. Any chance you could get ahold of one or both of those and do side-by-side photos?
I don't have otterbox case. But im still waiting for the Pelican case to cone out.
Any idea how long these take to ship to the UK from UAG? Thanks.
I pre-ordered this 1 week before my S8+ came. It took about a week when i got it from uag USA. Not sure about UK, sorry.
I have the Monarch for my S8+, in addition to a couple of Plasmas (Ice & Cobalt). I prefer the Plasma, as it feels sturdier - the lower lip on the Monarch is flimsy. However, the Monarch feels slimmer on the sides, making it a bit easier to hold.

Was your Monarch a little bowed in the middle when you took it out of the package?
Hope UAG makes the Midnight Edition like they did for the iPhone 7 Plus.
