I was thinking about getting the screen protector from them. can anyone comment on the quality of it? Is it very noticeable? bubbles? glare?

You will see orange peel. I just bought 2 back covers.

Well for starters, it ruins the crystal clear beautiful display.
I use it on the sides and back for a grippy feel.
SGP on the screen.

I have the same setup, I use SGP for the screen and Best Skins Ever for the body. But to compare all the wet install type shields, they will all have the orange peel effect but from my experience, Best Skins Ever is minimal and it isn't nearly as grippy feeling as the Zagg. In other words, your screen is still nice and smooth and not grippy if you use the Best Skins Ever screen protector.
Here are some pictures of the BSE on the Nexus S from a while ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10398198&postcount=6

Do BSE skins for the SGN come with separate pieces for the battery case and device frame? Hard to tell from the Nexus S pictures. I used to use them on iPhones, but of course battery replacement was not an option with those...

I've used BSE on many products, good stuff and cheap! Also excellent customer service.

They always have come with the pieces separate for me, at least when I got it for my Nexus One, Nexus S, and Galaxy S2... so I'm assuming it's the same thing for the Galaxy Nexus. If it doesn't then I will be very surprised.

So is screen protector edge to edge all the way around? And how is the battery cover handled since it is textured?

From past experience, the screen cover is pretty much edge to edge everywhere. The textured back was kind of weird with the skin (I had a Galaxy S2 before this with the same textured back). At first when you put it on, you will notice gaps between the cover and the textured back, like it wasn't really on all the way. I left it alone and after about 2 weeks or so, it's like it dried out even more or shrunk to the textured backing and it looked good from then on out.

FYI people.....
25% off today through 14th on orders through them.
unfortunately i ordered yesterday and i asked if they can adjust my order.....
take advantage guys!!!

I hate hate hate how grippy zaggs are. I use sgp crystal clear on my dinc right now. Will I be able to tell the difference in grip between that and these you think? I just really love hard covers since my finger can slide across with no friction...

Just bought one of these, apparently it's free shipping to UK as well? Hopefully they don't pull me up on that!

What exactly is this?
I'm having a hard time visualizing what this is. The images they have are of the phone and not the individual protectors. Anyone have pictures or anything to support the product? I've typically bought the the PET silicone stiff protector for the screen. Very nice stuff. But this product also has a body protector??
So again, if anyone has photo's I'd appreciate the wisdom.

i've talked to BSE and they said other than the battery cover being on piece, there are multiple pieces to the body parts.
skins ALWAYS look good on glossy phones.
they look good on textured phone too, but man glossy looks nice.
i have BSE for my NS and its awesome. i noticed that they are think to begin with.
some skins are thicker.

I have a question, if I do not like the look of the protector, will it be easy to remove and leave no damage?

[Pic request] xo skins "case fit" screen protector

Does anyone have a xo skins "case fit" screen protector? If so would you mind posting a pic?
I bought the regular one for my s3 and have been very happy with it.. a couple tpu cases showed up yesterday tho and they peeled up some of the edges of my standard fit protector.. pissed..
Anyhoo.. I'd like to see it on our phones if its a substantial enough change to warrant forking over another 14 bucks for a case fit one.. only had this dang thing on for 2 weeks..

Sorry, no pics, but I had a case fit from xoskins on my GNex and it did make a difference with TPU cases.
I bought a few Cruzerlite cases off Amazon, and the case fit was a perfect match. Sat on the screen just barely away from the case.
I would send an email to their customer service (http://xoskins.com/contact-us) and let them know you made a "mistake", and are using a case now. I bet they'll send you a case fit for free as a replacement.
They've always been great to me!

I'm going to try 2 things:
1. I bought a Diztronics case from Amazon, and it came with a screen protector. There's a noticeable gap around the edge of the screen, but the quality of the case and protector are awesome.
2. I ordered protectors from bestskinsever.com. $8.99 for a full phone protector. I've used them in the past, and they are good for the price. If you check their site, they have recently upgraded their skins to match xoskins / Invisible Shield HD quality. I'm waiting for them to show up, so I'll update later.
I think XO will only need your email address you used when placing the order. That's all I've ever given them.
Shoot them an email with all the info you can remember... worst thing they'll say is no

Actually I took your advice and shot them an email.. just saying I wanted a case fit and asked if they thought it would work better with my tpu I just got.
Got a reply the next day.. they are shipping me a case fit for free.. just told me to keep my spray and squeegee..
Really impressed with xoskins customer service..
I got that protector with the diztronic too.. I just hate dry protectors I suck at putting them on

Case fit leaves some exposed on the edge of screen so you can supposedly use it with cases that cover the edge like tpu cases.

josh33_unc,
Just asked you this same question on Android Central forums. Is the screen protector on the Body Glove Tough Suit anti-fingerprint? If not how is it for fingerprint smudges & overall?
Also mentioned this on your Body Glove Android Central thread, my GF's nephew is being recruited for Alabama football.

Maybe you're referring only to built in screen protectors, I use Steinheil anti-fingerprint screens protectors (dry adhesive) on my Galaxy S (Captivate) and never have any fingerprint smudges. I don't think Steinheil makes them for the S3 (I could not find them online) so I'm having to order a different brand that is much less expensive than the Steinheils were and I'm hoping they work as well.
Would you say the fingerprint smudging is about the same as the Otterbox Defender?

The Body Glove ToughSuit is now available directly from Body Glove in black/black & white/grey but at full retail price of $49.99. It has got to be a short matter of time before this is on Amazon.

i put one on in case sand or anything else get caught on the inside of the flap. I love how the zagg sheilds works w the s pen.

I ended up not liking the flip case so much....no real protection. So I brought it back and got my $42 back. I called Sprint and they had a black body glove case and the screen savors that TMo didnt have yet. And they gave me 20% off so it came to $33.

Nude anyone?

The body glove case is $24 at my local sprint store. Ended up going with the flip cover so I could get rid of the T-Mobile advertisement and have a chrome edged, white backed, titanium Note 2. While I put ghost armor on the screen for added protection, I am not certain it was needed, but better to be safe than sorry. S-Pen works great with it as well!

i-Blason Candygel Hybrid TPU [Mini-Review]

I got the i-Blason over the weekend and when I came into the office, I had a package waiting for me. It was the case that is kinda confusing to clarify because it's mixed in with other cases on Amazon. To clarify what I wanted, I went straight to the horses mouth and ordered it directly from i-Blason for $7.99USD+shipping.
http://www.i-blason.com/candygel-hybrid-tpu-hard-clear-case-for-google-nexus-5.html
The case, which is tpu is much more malleable/softer than the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. Also the i-Blason is very tpu-ish on it's lip unlike the Spigen UH, where the Spigen is ultra stiff.
When unpackaging the Candygel tpu, I also noticed that the case "looked" smaller than the Spigen UH. And when I was about to put it on, I said to myself, this doesn't look like it's going to fit! LOL. Glad I was wrong.
The case fit like a bodyglove. LOL I mean the case lip is very flexible and forgiving. And keep in mind I have a Spigen screen protector as well so I had to make sure that didn't come up. And thankfully, it did not. :good:
I have been using it and playing with it for a while and I have to say it's a pretty good case! The buttons are there, allbeit, covered, but the buttons now have feedback, compared to the Spigen UH. The volume buttons are also fine as well.
The ONLY fault I can find thus far is that on the bottom of the case has a scuff mark that was most likely done from the molding process, which I can forgive. It doesn't hinder the use of the case, it isn't sharp or uncomfortable because of it. I can even see it, but I know it's there. And I know I'll forget about it on day to day usage. The cut outs on the speaker aren't the best, but it's tpu and again, it isn't horrible, but I can notice it lol. The mic holes are perfectly exposed and just to note, the micro sim tray are covered. The clear back is why I got it. I can sport my dbrand white CF as well, where the other options before were the Spigen UH and Ringke fusion.
For the price, I can recommend this. and plays well with the Spigen screen protector thus far. The TPU makes the phone more form fitting and seems a tad smaller in holding it in my hands.
Anyways, here are some pics...enjoy! Oh and feel free to ask any questions or if you want pics at different angle and stuff like that.

How much bulk does this case add, in terms of height and width and also the thickness of the phone? I've been looking for a slim case to use with my dbrand skin as well, and I've been eyeing this one up.

It's thinner compared to the spigen ultra hybrid if that helps. It's like a tpu case thickness. Meaning not very thick.

I want to say it's actually a bit better than the Spigen UH when it comes to the fingerprint magnet. But saying that, you have to take into account that I have a WHITE cf. That makes the fingerprints invisible and barely visible. But if you hold it at an angle, I can see some, but not as bad as the Spigen UH.

Well you will eventually get scrathes. I have a white backing on my phone so you cannot see them at all. But looking at it without the phone in it, yes you can see scratches.
