Develop Bugs

So I installed my Best Skins Ever full body skin and the back looks terrible...

It looks like some parts stuck and some parts didn't. Anything I can do about this, or am I gonna have to live with it?

honestly I don't see the need for it on the back cover itself. It's texture makes it difficult to stick a layer on it to begin with - but it's such a flimsy piece of plastic that will probably bend and very unlikely to have any damages to it even when the phone drops.

Happened to me too, throwing it in an otterbox(just wanted extra protection) so this doesn't affect me too much.

Yes, it's on. I applied it yesterday and thought it would get better, but it didn't.

That's how mine looks too. There's nothing you can do about it it seems. I've had mine for about 2 weeks now and still looks like that. It definitely has to do with the textured back... I'm going to just peel mine off and if it ever gets damaged, I'll just buy a new one.

Welp, it says this now on the BSE website:
Application Note: We have found the best method for applying the battery door Skin is without application solution. Simply damp your finger tips, align the Skin to the battery door and squeegee the air out from the center out. Any uneven effect will settle out within 24 hours.

Too late for me

Did the bse skin come with side pieces? If yes, then did they for correctly on that lte version?

Mine came with side bits that fit the GSM model.

Yikes! Good to know. :S
I'd just get a new back. That's... hmm.

Hey guys. If you apply the battery door Skin to your Galaxy Nexus with the standard wet method and it turned out like the above pictures, we'd be happy to send you a replacement back Skin so you can reapply it with the dry method. It looks much better when done that way. Just open a support ticket at bestskinsever com/support and we'll get you taken care of.
Thanks!

We honestly haven't had the opportunity to confirm the fit first hand yet but it should fit. If you're interested in giving us some feedback on the fit we can arrange to send you a sample. Just contact our support team and mention this post.

+1. michael at it again with excellent customer service!!! keep it up mike!!!

I can confirm that it fits the lte nexus. Its not 100% but the fit is pretty good. You would have to look really hard to tell that some seams have a wider gap than other BSE skins I've used.
I also have the extended battery and it fits the cover too. Just doesn't go to the edge. But its hard to tell that it wasn't made for the lte model.
Also apply the back using the dry method and it'll look a lot better.
Thanks

Thanks for the feedback on the LTE version. This is in line with previous feedback we've received. The minimal difference in size between the LTE and GSM models shouldn't be very noticeable with the Skin applied. As it is, the flowing lines of the Galaxy Nexus requires a pattern that includes a little room for error when applying any way. The coverage is still very good and detailed though.

Doh! If you open a ticket with support they can do something for you. Just mention this post.

Michael, two questions.
The edges on the skin are still tacky enough to collect lint. I did not have this issue on my previous devices with BSEs installed. Is there anything I can do to stop this?
Also, even though I used the wet application method for installing the screen skin, it seems as though the glue still stretched enough to cause distortion. Will this eventually even out or do I need to try again?
Thanks.

iFace Anti-shock Case

What do you guys think?
Here's a link to the shop on ebay: Link.
I'm looking for something a little stylish in design and came across this.
I'm trying to favor Form over the actual function of a case. I'm almost tempted to get this one, but I wanted to see what others had as an opinion on it.

This case looks very similar to the iOttie Macaron case (see here)
If it is similar to that case as in feel and fit for the phone then I will buy this case immediately. I loved my iOttie for my iPhone 5 when I had it.

im really digging this case. might get it when funds arrive lol. anyone wanna buy a cruzer lite case? lol

I got my case in the mail over the weekend. I'll post pictures later.
Overall, it's very nice. The grip feels very good in the hand, and the case itself makes a perfect fit around the phone. The buttons aren't too tight like I've seen on other cases, but they make good enough contact that they work with every press. I'd even go as far as saying that pressing the buttons in the case feel more tactile than pressing the buttons on the phone itself.
My one complaint has to do with the rounded back. Oftentimes when I'm at restaurants or sitting at my desk, I'll set my phone on the table to use it. The rounded back makes the touch screen awkward to use as the case tends to slide the phone around a bit, or spin in place. I'd also gripe that the "iFace" logo is upside down when the phone is in proper landscape mode for camera use. No big deal though.
I got my case in the Android shade Lime-green color, but it comes in many different colors.
Also, Shipping took exactly two weeks for me, but YMMV.

It's not a whole lot to look at, but hopefully it helps. Excuse the orange paint stains on my kitchen counter. It's really bothering me in these pictures.
The back. Ample enough protection for the camera lens.
Spoiler
I really like the rounded contours along the perimeter of the phone. it feels good in the hand. It's got a soft rubbery grip. I actually nearly dropped my phone while taking one of these pictures, luckily for the grip...I managed to catch it in time.
Spoiler
The space for the MicroUSB and 3.5mm jack: Could be a bit tight for some, but works for all of my cords. My largest USB has quite a snug fit.
Spoiler
EDIT:WHELP, spoiler tags don't work like I assumed. Also, If you notice the ruler in the background, I was going to try and get some measurements, but a paper ruler doesnt do me very good when trying to figure out a difference between a couple milimeters. As far as thickness goes, the case doesn't even add a full milimeter. The sides are a bit of a different story, due to the rounded edges.

iFace case is strongly recommended for the Optimus G. It is very good quality with excellent grip.
Here is a link;
iFace first class Optimus G case

I've had a number of....accidental drop tests. This is truly a great case. The rubber bump-edge really does an excellent job protecting from falls. These aren't just little baby falls either, for instance, last night, my poor little phone fell from my hand, about 5 feet onto hard brick flooring. I've yet to acquire a single scratch anywhere on my phone!

Portenzo Hardback case with Intellistand

Well my Hard-book Portenzo case with optional camera cutout and Intellistand arrived this morning. Have to say that the case is top quality and feels really sturdy.
Once again thanks to Portenzo for such an amazing case!
http://shop.portenzo.com/hardback-for-the-new-nexus-7/
Here are some pics
Even got a cool box drawing done by Lea who works in customer services.
Oh the pics above make it look like the case is a royal blue colour (damn flash).
It is really a "Dark linen blue" colour, here are some pics that are more accurate to the actual colour

Nice looking case, just don't really like how thick it looks when folded, and it's $54 shipped, too rich for my $260 device.

I have to say that I quite like the thickness as it is like holding a hardback book. Also the case feels very solid and I imagine it can withstand a few knocks.
Yeah it's not cheap, but it definately has a premium feel and is extremely well made.

How does it stay on there? Also seems like the edges would be a little vulnerable. I might get one of these for my lady.

It's got some sort of sticky grip tabs on it that hold the device in place.
You can check out the video I linked to see how it performs.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atSCZxbLg_E
I was abit worried about this when I read about it but this video assured me that it won't fall out or have problems keeping the device from moving about or coming out.
You might be right about the edges but the case is ever so slightly bigger than the Nexus7 so the edges of the device are covered so it would still offer some protection.

Do you have a wireless charger you could test?

How long did they take to make yours? I ordered mine back on August 8 and after contacting customer service, they stated that they hope to be done with my case by middle of next week.
I'm not sure if this is common, but the turn around times are terribly long.

I have an Orange one. I owned one on my OG N7 and loved it. The sticky tape never comes off. Owned it for months and never adjusted it or had to reapply. I don't have the intellistand. Mime has 2 strips of tape and the camera hole. I paid like $24+shipping for mine during their preorder sale.
Mines orange, yellow interior, and a red strap. The orange is more of a burnt orange, almost brownish. I like it.
Qi Charging works with it. I use my Samsung all the time.
Its a tad thicker then those Moko and Poetic Ultra cases (I have a white Moko). Both are close though. I'm using the moko for a week to see how I like it but I can already tell you the Portenzo feels more durable. The craftsmanship is great.

Yeah unfortunately they do get super busy during the first few weeks of a new product launch due to the demand.
They hand make every case and as far as I know they are only a company of about 10-12 workers.
Just be a little patient and I am sure you will get yours very soon.

Yeah the band also blocks the camera hole when the case is shut but that is normal as portenzo designed it like that to limit the amount of dust that can get into the lens when the case is shut and also you can't use the camera when the case lid is shut anyway.
Opening up the case allows the camera lens to become unblocked.

It takes them usually a few weeks. They handmake everything on the case to order. Its a small shop. Everything is custom made. I ordered one for my nexus as soon as they was offered and mine was just send thusday so ill have it monday. Yes i bought one of the nicer ones around 120 paid. But its the best case u will ever own. You could put it on ur bookshelf and noone would know the difference. It will take drops and everything. Call me crazy but ill pay for a USA handmade case, made with care then a cheapass overseas made one that dont last a month. Ive seem some people wind up paying more for cases of cheap crap then they could have paid for 1 nice Portenzo. Check they website out and see how real cases are made. But all this is just opion also. This is my 2nd case. My first one lasted 2 Original Nexus and still was in beautiful condition.

Mine came a couple weeks ago. Love it. I got black outside with sky blue inside with dark blue elastic. My sister's order is still awaiting shipment. Definitely a nice case.

[Q] Galaxy Death Note 8.0

Hi,
I've been playing latlely with my galaxy note 8.0 wich by the way is the best tablet I've ever used and notice that is very slipery.
I have never dropped it or anithing so before it happens I decided to use some magic spell on it called protecturum griporum Plasti dip!!!... anyway, the question is:
Do you think it would damage the tablet over time?? heating or something else??
So far so good, no noticeable overheating or signal looss, it is indeed A LOT grippier. it is the first try so I didnt take to much time with the masking tape nor painting the logo, If it happens to be no problem whit it and I find it realy apealing, I will remove this coat and apply 3 coats of plasty dip and paint the logo using a stencil or something (sugestions?).
Anyway please post your comments, here some pics:

Is it clear, looks like you started with a black/brown Note. Did it make the Note less slippery. Will be interesting to see how it holds up over time.

Yea! It made it a lot less slippery, much secure to hold and set on surfaces where previously it would feel like sliding off or damaging the shiny white plastic.
I got the Galaxy note 8.0 in eBay for a reasonable price and the plasti-dip can was a gift from a friend who used it to protect some bicycle parts and got some to spare, I’m nor really sure where did he buy it but I guess plastidip.com is a good start.
It been two days and heavy usage of the tablet, no overheating o performance issues whatsoever so I would say it’s a safe procedure, will try the 3 coats and possibly vinyl logo in a few weeks.:good:
Cheers!!!

Actually looks to me like he had the white version of the Note...the s-pen is white and I think I see some white near the edges where the coating is not completely even, but maybe the original poster can clarify for us. Is this coating black or clear?
Thanks!

I was just thinking of is that material toxic or not

:| I have no clue... I mean the can isn’t very clear, it doesn’t say anything about the dry product, although it says the regular: keep off from eyes or skin and vapors inhaling and the sort, but every paint can says something similar so... Anyway it’s a great question so I checked in plasti-dip official page and found:
"Is Plasti Dip® safe to use on children's toys, animal containment, and/or on kitchen utensils?
Plasti Dip® does not contain any heavy metals, and when completely dry, is considered harmless. However, it is not recommended that it be used on items that may be chewed or inserted into the mouth as it may present a choking hazard."
I’m hoping this is accurate cause I like the feeling of the Death Note 8.0 and I have already plasti-dipped my keyboards hand rest and mouse hahaha... let’s keep researching.
If I find something significant I’ll keep you posted.
Thanks for the feedback

I haven't seen any and I don't think one is necessary. The display has a sapphire coating which if done correflty will hold up to anything you can throw at it. I have a sapphire Crystal on one of my mechanical watches and its never gotten scratched at all after a year of daily use.
Edit: I bought one just to test but I don't intend on using it long term. I'll let you know how it is.

Unlike the other Android Wear devices on the market, this one won't need it.

I would agree that this watch wouldn't need a screen protector, because of the sapphire crystal display. That being said...
You can scratch sapphire. You have to try really hard...but it is possible. I've done it on a mechanical watch of mine, and it drove me crazy...but a gemstone can scratch another gemstone.
THAT BEING SAID...I don't really know what good a screen protector would do with this face. Unless it's also made out of sapphire, what good would it do? OK...I'm being facetious (damn...had to Google that)...but you are also "talking" to a guy that HATES screen protectors. Like...A LOT...never had one on a phone, tablet, or watch that I've ever owned...

THAT BEING SAID...I don't really know what good a screen protector would do with this face. Unless it's also made out of sapphire, what good would it do? OK...I'm being facetious (damn...had to Google that)...but you are also "talking" to a guy that HATES screen protectors. Like...A LOT...never had one on a phone, tablet, or watch that I've ever owned...

You can scratch sapphire, but you need a gem of equal or greater H rating. So unless you plan to throw the watch in a bag of saphhire crystals or diamonds, we should all be good.

Like I said...you have to try pretty hard to scratch sapphire...but it is easier than you think. If you or your SO have any diamond jewelry...that will do it. Also, any diamond tipped tools will also do it. It is possible...however unlikely in day to day living (minus the diamond jewelry part). And again...if something can scratch the sapphire, it sure as heck will go through whatever screen protector you would have on it...

So the screen protector I ordered from NewEgg by ilumshield or whatever the name was got canceled because they didn't ship it so I guess I'll try elsewhere.

Ok I just recieved it, I'll reply back when I finish this set of classes.

I emailed you and I haven't received a response yet.

Dont waste your time or money on a screen protector.
Ive had a mechnical now for 8 years with sapphire crystal,and I mountain bike,backpack,and white water kayak with the watch on,and not a speck. Screen looks brand new. The bezel is marked up a bit. If this is truly sapphire we are golden.

I want a protector that can protect again finger prints and smudges, not so much for scratch protection. I see a bunch of vertical and horizontal swipe marks on my watch...

I just got this today from Amazon, its a TGSP that's has 98% coverage on the glass its not quite perfect edge to edge. It feels nice and seems to resist finger prints more than the standard sapphire screen. Pictures will be posted below as well. The install was so easy it was a joke, quality seems good so far. You can also see my super awesome Nexus 6 in the reflection of the watch because I used it to take the pictures lol

You use your shirt? I tend to be in the safe side and always carry 1-2 microfiber cloth with me. I had tons of them that I bought for my DSLR and previous phones because smudges really bother me. I'll let you know how it works out; if I forget just quote me on here so I get a notification.

Just a little update the TGSP still shows smudges but not as much as the sapphire do now that's out of the bag

I got the same screen protector as above and removed it after a day. I found that the additional thickness of the glass protector on such a tightly manufactured face made a big difference. It reduced the already barely sufficient visibility in sunlight, provided a channel for dust and debris to gather on my watch face, and reduced clarity ever so slightly.
Nothing wrong with the actual protector, it just wasn't for me. I think I will probably have to go naked which I don't like because I'm not sure I would prefer a non glass protector.
