Is it just me but I have not found here and on the internet particular discussions about what is the best screen protector for this tablet. I live in Italy and right now it seems that the best ones I can get are the MOFRED, based on the numerous reviews on the British amazon. They come with 6 protectors for a good price.
I also saw that Brando already sells its screen protectors for this new tablet. I never had problems with this brand, but I would like to hear some feedbacks from you.
Do you have any suggestions or reviews to share?
i have been looking around on ebay.co.uk for some screen protectors, but i dunno if i should take glossy, matte or ultra clear u can get 2 for like less then £2 with free shipping.
but i will look onto here to see if others have tested some out and say if they r good
Go with the Zagg invisible shield , sure its 25.00$ for one screen protector, but it has a lifetime warranty . Zagg will replace it at anytime for the lifetime of the device

I know the Zagg are really famous, but at the same time as you wrote they are really expensive and maybe still not available for the new model.

Yes you are right, they are present on the British amazon. Before I just checked at the official website and it was not present.
But always on amazon there are three reviews and they are not really positive :/

You know what they say about opinions...
Mine is as stated, and I stand by it.
Of course, it's your choice.
Best SP is really subjective to opinions, so you're not going to get a true answer because honestly there isn't a "best", just a favorite of that individual. Some prefer glass, some wet installs, an some dry installs. That said, Ghost Armor is my preferred choice of screen protectors and full body protectors. I always buy Ghost Armor for all of my devices that they cover. They recently released their 2013 Nexus 7 protectors, which I have been anxiously waiting for! While I normally buy their full body protection, I just went with the screen this time. Ghost Armor just offers clear for the rear so far, and I wanted white carbon fiber like I have in my Note 2. I bought dbrand for the rear to give them a shot, as I've never used their products before. After reading through their thread in this subforum, I was glad to see them active on the boards here. All of their customers are happy with their products, and I I think they look great! They offer a white carbon fiber just like I was looking for, so I'm anxious for it to get delivered so I can install it.
Ghost Armor has a lifetime warranty just like Zagg(as was mentioned previously). I've even messed up an install of a Ghost Armor before an they were happy to replace it free of charge even though it was my fault an not an issue with their product. Also, Ghost Armor doesn't have the horrible orange-peel look like Zagg has. I used to use Zagg in the past but couldn't stand the look or feel of Zagg! I was actually in a coma when my pre-ordered Evo LTE came in the beginning of last June. My parents went to Best Buy an picked it up for me, and had Best Buy install a Zagg HD screen protector. I got a replacement for it so I could install it myself as soon as I was capable of doing so. While their HD line is MUCH better than their standard SP, it still has the orange-peel look and has to much grip for my taste, which doesn't allow your fingers to glide across the screen as easily as it does when the screen is bare. Again, it's a preference thing, and some people swear by Zagg. I personally don't like the the added friction, though some do, and I absolutely can't stand the orange-peel look!! I don't see why anyone would deal with the way Zagg looks! 24 hours after installing Ghost Armor, you can't even tell it's on there unless you're up close and looking for it!! They cost around $10 less than Zagg, and quality is far superior!! I highly recommend Ghost Armor! If you want the same look and feel of a bare screen, then you should definitely try them out! I think that if you do get Ghost Armor, you'll be a customer for life just like me! I'm expecting delivery of my Ghost Armor for my '13 N7 today!!
Here's the link to 2013 Nexus 7 on Ghost Armor's site : http://www.ghost-armor.com/product/details/asus-nexus-7-2013

EDIT: Just walked to the mailbox and my Ghost Armor was inside!! I'll post some pics of it sitting on the screen for now, and I'll post more pics after I install it.

SwiftKey'ed from my '13 Nexus 7 FHD using XDA Premium HD
I picked up the Official Asus ones. They are $12.99 and comes with 1 Clear and 1 Matte.
I personally like the Matte but others like the clear.
The Matte is nice and helps keep fingerprints down. The Fit is great and very tight. I would recommend the "hinge" method to align it up before trying to apply. They are higher quality and thicker, similar to a Spigen. There are only 2 holes for the camera and light sensor. Should last quite a while, giving you a second one to use in case of emergency.
I personally would stick to a Dry Apply unless the screen has curved glass or tapered edges (like my Galaxy Nexus). I ended up pulling it off after a few months because it start getting spots. I forget the Brand but I've had horrible luck with all wet applies. I've even tried several brands across multiple devices before giving up.
If I can see the SP, it will drive me nuts until I pull it off. I've never seen a wet apply that doesn't look like crap.
I am also curious if you had the annoying problems with bubbles.
@player911: what do you mean by "Matte" and the "hinge method"?
PS: Apparently the ghost armor are not available in Europe? I just searched on the British Amazon. I don't know if they send also in Europe from the official website.
Here's some pics, I didn't photo all of the edges, but it looks awesome and basically doesn't have any gaps on the edges! Definitely fits edge to edge! The small space will allow for easier install, and are almost nonexistent. I did photo the two holes in the SP. One is for the camera and the other for the proximity sensor. Also you can see in the close up photo showing the two holes, the backing paper that the SP is shipped on is what is cloudy looking, not the actual SP. You can't tell in these photos, but you'll see that it's crystal clear and unnoticeable in the pics I take after it's installed.
Also, I forgot to mention earlier, but if you don't want to do the install yourself then you can take it to one of their stands in the malls an have them do it. Oh, never mind that, I forgot you were outside of the US, so they may not have any local stores near you. Completely irrelevant though if you're like me and wanna do it yourself. May be helpful info for some people who are in the US and don't wanna do the install themselves

I bought the zagg for my new N7 2nd gen at best buy it fits perfect and it specifically said for the New N7 . I'm not sure why the search came up with no results that's odd. Good luck though there seems to be a lot of good recommendations.

Zagg all the way. I've got one on right now, so I don't know what anyone is talking about not having one for the new model. perfectly with a cutout for the camera and sensor offset to the right. The package still has the original n picture on it, but says "new". I pulled it out of the box at bestbuy and lo and behold, it is the correct fit.

I'm surprised you've never seen a Ghost Armor SP installed. Not sure where you live, but most of my local malls have a Ghost Armor stand in them. You can go to one and see their products installed on various devices. You don't even notice there's a SP installed unless you're really looking for it. Best SP I've EVER used, and I've tried a lot of brands over the years!

iSmooth is another excellent option for plastic-based "dry application" screen protector.
I bought a NILLKIN screen protector
With shipping, it costs me $5 which is quite expensive...
I went with spigen. They also have lifetime replacements if you buy from Amazon us

I recommend the ScreenShield screen protector. I have it on all my devices (including 2x phones, tablet, navigation).

Search didn't turn up anything, so I figured I'd post up a couple photos of my freshly-armored Atrix in case anyone was wondering what it looks like. Coverage is very good, owing to the simple shapes and curves of our devices.

This is the regular gloss ghost armor, the stuff they stock at their mall kiosks. As you can see from the photos it makes the rear of the device very glossy, and also makes the blacks look deeper. I just got this put on a couple hours ago so there's still a bit of haze visible on the screen. I like the way the screen feels better naked, so I might strip off the ghost armor there but I'll give it a couple days. The "orange peel" look visible in the photo of the back has a lot to do with it being so new. Ghost Armor has much less orange peel than the Zagg invisibleShield product, and it's also much less sticky.
On top of the obvious scratch protection for the plastic, ghost armor makes it grippy enough that you don't worry about it slipping out of your hands while holding it. Since I live in a city and spend lots of time walking places or on the bus, I'm usually surrounded by very dangerous hard surfaces, so I've been paranoid about dropping it since purchase a couple days ago.
Fitment in the charging dock is fine, just requiring the slightest press to engage. My dock is still pretty tight so that might be part of it. If anyone is interested I can go venture down to the parking garage to see how it fits in the car dock.
If any of you haven't heard of Ghost Armor before, I'm told they have professional installers at some Best Buy locations. They're based in Phoenix AZ, where I was living the last few years, so I grew accustomed to going to any local mall to get new gadgets protected. They offer matte finish armor as well as some carbon fiber skins (for certain devices). The matte armor is perfect for MacBook Pros, the backs of iPads, and any other metals. It looks quite striking on white iPhones as well. Here in Seattle there's only one location I can recommend, at Northgate Mall (a quick bus trip north from downtown). They do a great job with the installations. It's quite sad, I've only lived here two months and I'm on a first name basis with the staff.
Very interesting. Thanks for your insight.
Cool man. I've got a ZaggSkin in my Atrix, some rocker squeleton
Thanks anyway, it's good to know there's some alternatives to Zagg stuff

I didn't clean it up before taking photos, so that is with handling. Due to the fake carbon fibre print on the back of the Atrix, you wouldn't really notice smudges if they were there. Fingerprints on the screen, well of course. I haven't seen anything that fingerprints less than my Palm Pre 2 oddly enough, but it's not bad. Wipe the screen on your pants (no need to worry about scratching) and it's good as new.
I have BodyGuardz on my atrix.
BodyGuardz is thinner than InvisibleShield, and feel more smooth.
Personally, I still prefer InvisibleShield, which is thicker, and have more grip on it.
I have used other kind before, so I cannot tell the feeling about others.

extremely difficult to get it anywhere near as perfect as in my photos. That was installed by a professional. They do dozens of installs daily, and if they screw up they have lots of pre-cut film in stock to try again.
If it's not perfect, aside from looking like junk you'll have edges that peel and that sort of thing so it won't last long.
Thanks _kansei_ for the post and the photos. The reason I bought Zagg/Skinomi Is because of the whole "same military technology used on helicopter blades" thing, and the video where they take a dremel to the iPad. I just checked GA website and they are do use the same "military technology" as Zagg and Skinomi. So the protection should be the same, its almost the same product just slightly tweaked by a different company. Truthfully I can barely tell a difference between my Zagg & Skinomi. But now that we know there is a third manufacturer, it would be awesome to have a thread gauging the slight differences between these 3 similar products like "orange peal", ease of installation, thickness, grip/slide, etc..
I've seen firsthand "phantom skinz" as well. Seemed like a slightly thinner material, with virtually no orange peel.
There's dozens of companies selling what is basically the same product. When they say "military tech", I think they just mean "well the military puts a film on helicopter blades, so we can call our plastic film military grade too".
I already removed the film from the screen, as I thought i probably would. I'm not worried about dropping the atrix now that the body is more grippy, and my primary worry was scratching up the plastic back since i leave it sitting on my desk at work a lot.
An objective comparison of all the films would be very tough, you'd have to get a bunch of people together with the same device with all the different films. Photos could show the differences in orange peel look, but thickness would be tough to measure with the skin on.
Yes a comparison would be tough, but probably not as tough as some of the battery comparisons I have seen floating around here. Truthfully, the main thing I care about is protection, after watching the Zagg dremel video I was hooked, I want that level of protection in all my screen protectors. Maybe I am taking a leap here, but thats what I associate with the phrase "military tech". My train of thought is: 'This is the same military tech that will withstand a dremel on your screen.' Haha. Maybe thats just Zagg, I dunno..
These look awesome. Has anyone had success installing any of these by themselves? It seems like the type of thing my spastic self would not be able to do. I barely got a normal screen protector on...
Definitely tempted to order it and try it out though.

I would suggest watching someone do it at least once so you know what to expect. The first time I tried I failed miserably, I ended up having it done at Best Buy (by a "professional"). After I saw it done once and seen the tools used and how, it wasn't that hard. I have done two myself since (front screen only). I suggest soaking your fingers in the "solution" (its water I think), the more solution you use on your hands the better imo. I would say be generous with the solution on the screen protector itself during installation as well. I even aply a thin layer on the screen. Make sure you have a rag and be fast to dab up the excess solution immediately. Get the bubbles out. Leave it sit for at least an hour to dry. Those are my tips how I do it, everybody may not agree with the excess solution and I will be the first to say water and electronics dont mix so be careful!

It is not that hard as you think, to prevent dust, you could creat a humidy environment, such as turn on hot water in your bath, and let the steam build up. I did mine this way, and look pretty good.

Ghost armor is the same way with the warranty. Replacement film is always free, you just pay the installation. So if you have to get the phone replaced under warranty you just peel the film off and bring them the film and the new device.

That's why I had to get out of the southwest, even living downtown in a "big city" (Phoenix) everything was so far away. Hardly anything was within walking distance, cycling was an unsafe mess, it was all cars cars cars. I had to take the bus all the way to the nearest Best Buy (ghost armor was right by it), because there isn't one downtown. They put it all the way up by a mall north of the city. Just checked gmaps, it was 7 miles. <3 it here for that.
3.5 hours is totally not worth it though. If you have a Best Buy close to you, they may have a ghost armor installer in the store.
Got to hand it to the owner of TPU-Cases - I've never seen a business run with such care to solving customer issues. I ordered the TPU Matte Black case from Amazon, and unfortunately received the wrong item - an EVO 3D case. Certainly a mistake, possibly an honest one at that, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt when e-mailing them, below is the reply.
Quite honestly, this blew me away. My hat's off to them, and they will have my future business. Love the case by the way, fit is top notch, I like my phone even better than bare.
-------------------------------------------
Hello (me),
My sincere apologies for the mixup. I have refunded your order in full
and be sending you the correct case free of charge on Monday. There is
no need to return the Evo 3D case you can dispose of it or give it away.
You'll receive notification of the refund from Amazon in the next few
hours. I'll follow up on Monday to provide you with the new tracking
number. Very sorry!

Yep, this is a GREAT company to deal with. Honest, fair and reliable. Can't ask for more. I just got my TPU-Cases High Gloss Smoke case for my ET4G and it fits like a glove and doesn't add any bulk to the phone. Awesome stuff.
agree, they have been monitoring the case threads and been responsive and providing insight into some of their thoughts

Yes the volume buttons take a bit more force to adjust, but frankly I really like it. Too easy for me to change the volume accidentally. I like that it is a bit stiffer.
How do I know if I received the updated screen protector or the original one that wasn't cut correctly? Mine seems too wide to get it to fit on the screen.

I personally like the high gloss smoke on my Epic. It does show fingerprints but I think it looks classier than the matte (although I've also had people tell me the reverse, they think the gloss looks cheap). It also does grip a bit better in your hand than the matte finish does. Black is the more popular choice but I really like that the Galaxy S II logo shows through the case.
Regarding the OP and everyone at XDA, thank you for the support! Prior to starting this business I had a background in customer service so I've applied what I learned in those jobs to my own business. It's paid off as we are one of the few sellers that I see maintaining a 100% feedback rating on both Amazon and eBay. Our success isn't only due to our customer service and quality products it's also largely due to XDA members that have been customers of ours since day 1. Your efforts to spread the word about our products on these forums, to your friends and family, and the Amazon review system is greatly appreciated and does not go unnoticed. I cant tell you how much I appreciate you all taking the time to do that!

We don't have the new screen protectors yet. I actually ordered about 300 from EZ-Guard that I was going to use as replacements until I could get replacements from our original supplier. I knew I wouldn't have them until the very end of the month so I was trying to come up with a quicker solution for our existing customers. Well, the EZ-Guard screen protectors are complete garbage. I had to send them back. I'm not sure how they are cutting them but they need to find a new method. They are bending the film during the cutting process which causes the screen protectors to have about a 1/4" area around the perimeter that will not stick the screen. I cant believe they even sell these things. I should of checked the reviews for their products (almost all 1 star by the way) on Amazon before ordering but there weren't a lot of options available so I just took a chance. Their customer service is great however they refunded my order before I even sent them back. I'm not sure if we will keep doing the screen protector thing in the future, especially if I have to worry about if they are cut correctly. Our HTC Kingdom, Optimus Black, HTC Vigor, Atrix 2 and Galaxy S II (AT&T) cases are all ready to go and will come with them but after that I will have to reevaluate. Considering I haven't gotten a whole lot of emails from customers regarding the screen protectors I'm thinking a large amount of you are not even using them. It doesn't raise our costs too much including them so I don't mind doing it if customers actually want them and it doesn't cause more headaches for me.
Just send me a PM or an email with your order number and I'll send you a replacement when they arrive. (edit: I'm now swamped with screen protector requests. Sorry guys but I just cannot send them to everyone that ordered. I have to manually print all these envelopes out since they are not in our shipping queue like a normal order. I'm now limiting it only to customers who ordered before the 17th as we stopped advertising them as coming with screen protectors on the 17th. I just don't have the resources to send them to everyone who ordered after the 17th as well. If I could do it and keep the business running I would! The current ETA for the fixed screen protectors is 10/3)

I'm using mine as a temporary till my Skinomi comes in (Don't order a screen protector from them. They listed their screen protectors for sale, in stock, and will arrive in a week but they were just lying to get early sales). It mostly fits and the bubbling around a slight few spots on the border dont extend more than 3mm into the screen.
Ordered a black matte based on this thread. Anxious to try it out.

It also does grip a bit better in your hand than the matte finish does. Black is the more popular choice but I really like that the Galaxy S II logo shows through the case.
Regarding the OP and everyone at XDA, thank you for the support! Prior to starting this business I had a background in customer service so I've applied what I learned in those jobs to my own business. It's paid off as we are one of the few sellers that I see maintaining a 100% feedback rating on both Amazon and eBay. Our success isn't only due to our customer service and quality products it's also largely due to XDA members that have been customers of ours since day 1. Your efforts to spread the word about our products on these forums, to your friends and family, and the Amazon review system is greatly appreciated and does not go unnoticed. I cant tell you how much I appreciate you all taking the time to do that!

We don't have the new screen protectors yet. I actually ordered about 300 from EZ-Guard that I was going to use as replacements until I could get replacements from our original supplier. I knew I wouldn't have them until the very end of the month so I was trying to come up with a quicker solution for our existing customers. Well, the EZ-Guard screen protectors are complete garbage. I had to send them back. I'm not sure how they are cutting them but they need to find a new method. They are bending the film during the cutting process which causes the screen protectors to have about a 1/4" area around the perimeter that will not stick the screen. I cant believe they even sell these things. I should of checked the reviews for their products (almost all 1 star by the way) on Amazon before ordering but there weren't a lot of options available so I just took a chance. Their customer service is great however they refunded my order before I even sent them back. I'm not sure if we will keep doing the screen protector thing in the future, especially if I have to worry about if they are cut correctly. Our HTC Kingdom, Optimus Black, HTC Vigor, Atrix 2 and Galaxy S II (AT&T) cases are all ready to go and will come with them but after that I will have to reevaluate. Considering I haven't gotten a whole lot of emails from customers regarding the screen protectors I'm thinking a large amount of you are not even using them. It doesn't raise our costs too much including them so I don't mind doing it if customers actually want them and it doesn't cause more headaches for me.
Just send me a PM or an email with your order number and I'll send you a replacement when the arrive.

Just left you 5* feedback on Amazon! Thanks for the excellent service. I didn't see a screen protector included -- was it supposed to be? In any case, I'd love to get one. I'll send you a PM.
"It was out of stock when I ordered, but arrived in just 5 days -- much earlier than what I had expected. Perfect fit, cutouts are at exact locations and good size; slightly raised compared to camera, so that is protected when you lay on the table; also protects screen when laying face down. Good grip with the matte back. Exceeded my expectations!"
I will second your top notch support. I had never heard of TPU before, as I was extremely happy with my case matte naked case. However, you have earned another customer for how you handle yourself. If you make a barely there product with your quality and pricing, I will be completely tpu first before any other Vendor
Oh, matte grey finish,love how classy it looks! It really makes the phone profile that much sexier
Clay is awesome. Enough said lol.

That is very good customer service, I'm impressed.
After having tried several different screen protectors and cases here's what I've discovered.
Most of the gel cases turn rather yellowish (though there are a few that don't). Obviously the grippy feel will be there. The downside to that feel in my opinion would be when sliding your phone in and out of your pocket. I personally hate having to 'force' it down my pocket. I'm a heavy multi tasker so I'd have my iPod in my other hand with perhaps a book/newspaper (with headphones cable tangled all around) and my phone in the other. So keeping that in mind I love to whip out the phone and also likewise slide it out of sight rather quickly. The grippy feel is beneficial to prevent me from dropping the phone but I simply don't like it.
Following the above, my thoughts on 'full body protectors' are similar. They all have that tacky feel to them. From back in the day with my HTC myTouch 4G & LG Nitro I've tried Zagg, BestSkinsEver, BodyGuardz (my favourite), and Skinomi and I'd say they all simply peel. I cannot stress that enough. Regardless of the matte effect or absence of the tacky feel these protectors simply peel after lots of use around the corners. They do save the phone from drops because they do absorb the dents in a way. But nonetheless, they are 'temporary' in my opinion.
As for screen protectors I've found myself to prefer the Skinomi & BodyGuardz. It's because I found that these ones are missing the 'orange peel effect' and also the matte BodyGuardz is nice to the touch. The Skinomi was a little tacky and had a few streaks/lines but these disappear.
And back to the cases. The one I fell in love with was the one I got on eBay from smokeydiscount (mentioned elsewhere). I bought that case since it was cheap and so that I could use it temporarily until I got a better case. But just as several other members have said, it's actually quite nice.. It grips the phone well and taking it off is an absolute b*tch. It has a frosted aspect to it and isn't fully see through. But from a feet away you'd swear the phone didn't have a case on it. It's really minimalistic.
As per the screen protector that I decided on I went with the Spigen Glas.tr and it DOES work with the buttons as long as you're running the latest firmware. Even if you weren't (like I did initially) DON'T rip it off immediately. You can still download a ROM to your SD card, boot into Recovery and you'll notice the Recovery works fine under the glass. Then proceed to install the ROM and bam, all is perfect and fine.
The red skin I have was a little addition to give it a little flare and personality. It was also to follow with the red Beats branding (even though I hate Beats). But coupled with a red system theme and I'm in love with my current setup. I didn't use all the included skins and only used the top and bottom pieces. It was the red leather skin off eBay (I'll add the links later).
I attached pictures of my phone so you can have a look at what I've finally decided on.
EDIT:
I have added the following links for the accessories I'm using that are available for purchase. I have also added bigger images so the case can be seen more clearly. The thumbnails on XDA were resized and a lot of clarity was lost since I used PNG. It appears using JPEG doesn't fall under the max width and height restrictions so I uploaded JPEG instead to XDA.

Hahah yeah go for it! I'm still not satisfied with the front and may cut out the small speaker line. Or I may even take the front skin off. But yeah, for the back the top and bottom could be customized and so retain the middle metal plate. The color variance is subtle and nice. Glad you liked the back
I will post all links to the stuff I bought soon once I made enough posts and a moderator approves my account

yer i think it will look better cutting the middle bit out!
Im going to try putting the back skins on in abit, but i also have a invisible shield so might put that over the back then put my bumper
on over the top, see how it looks first!
Yeah, it's exactly what I did. I've been contemplating it for ages hahah. I guess you were motivation enough xD. I'll upload pics soon enough. Also good luck with yours, though I think if you put it on top of the cover it may peel. At least for mine I know the adhesive isn't the best and lots of pocket removal may cause peeling. Though that being said the front stickers are still holding up. Be sure to share pics of yours once you do it
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium HD app
I just uploaded new pictures of the new front with the sticker lines removed. I also uploaded more clear and brighter pictures of the back. The older ones were done under crappy lighting though the new ones are missing the 'Audio' part of the Beats branding simply because the case is slightly frosted and the camera I used is not the best (pictures taken with my old LG Nitro rear camera).
I also added the links to whatever I purchased and used.
I noticed many users thinking about purchasing the GLAS.tR and asking whether it will fit with the case or not. Well, as mentioned in the OP you can see I talked of how the current case grips onto the phone rather tightly. The case also curves onto the front, holding the phone nicely. And with the glass protector, there's still around a millimetre or more between the protector and the case. So I'd say it would work with if not all, most cases out there on the market. It's also not too thick. If you're going to get the GLAS.t then opt for the GLAS.tR . If it's not to your liking, switch to the GLAS.t . The beveled edges are nice, since pulling down on the menu won't bring the edge to your finger.

Hello.
I have been looking for a new case and i found the spg slim armor for the s4. I searched to see if there was a version for the s3 but i couldn't find any until i searched on aliexpress and i found the cases bellow :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now i say its inspired on the s4 slim armor because from what i searched there isn't any official version of this for the s3, so i don't even call it a knock off but rather a case with the design inspired on the s4 slim armor, so its clearly not a real spg product. To be honest i don't care if its original or not, just as long as it has decent quality for the price
I was wondering if anyone here ever bought this case and if you can leave some feedback about it? I didn't find threads about it but maybe someone got it and didn't post.
I was also looking for an opinion on which color to get. I have a black s3 and im not sure which one to buy: the silver/black one or the white/black one. Which one would you choose? The light blue one seems nice but im not sure how it would look on because those photos can be a bit misleading sometimes.
Right now i use a spg neo hybrid and its grey with neon on the side, so i wasn't sure if i should get a silver one but i guess they are different shades of grey and different design/color combo.
Thanks.
I haven't bought this case, but I'm definitely interested. How trustworthy is that site?
It will be my first time using that website also, but its a bit like ebay with independent sellers (but i think it doesnt have or require the paypal option like ebay). I have seen that a lot of users here on xda have used the website and they don't seem to have much problems with it. The items do take some time to arrive, but that is expected since they are shipped from China most of the time and that also happens with ebay or other websites.
Which color are you thinking of getting? Im still undecised on which one to get, but now im leaning towards the white one a bit more than the silver one but im not sure. Also, it doesn't seem like it from those photos but most of them(if not all) have a shinny finish on the colored part from what i could see from the listing on the website for this case.
looks nice..

If I decide to get one I would probably get a white one. It kinda looks like they have a matte back, but I hope they are glossy plastic like the spigen ones though. Anyone going to buy one?
I would choose Silver, grey or white. My higher priority goes for Silver because white is quite common. Anyway, the choice is yours. Currently I'm using Trident Kraken(Blue) and I love it so much.

They do have it in black but i don't think its really a matte black, i think they all have a shiny/glossy finish like you mentioned. I will most likely get one, but im still not sure which color lol

I also liked the silver one for that reason, but im considering the white one a bit more now because i don't have a white case and i already have a grey one ( even though its not silver or glossy), so now im thinking about getting the white one.
EDIT:
Here is other picture where you can see the kind of finish the colored plastic has:
Let us know how it is when you get it.
That gray would llok great on my phone

I placed my order for a white case
The grey one does look nice also but since my current case is already grey (although different design and type of material, its still grey) and i don't have a white or black and white case, i went with the white one. If the cases turn out to be nice, i might even order other one
I will let you know when i get the case, but it will be a while since its shipped from China.

I just found this slim armor case yesterday @ a chinese store here at Philippines. I tested it and it fits great,! And the case does like cover the silver sides,, so FULL screen protectors are good companion of this case (provided that you have 100% precision in installing the SP)

Cool Hopefully the ones online are the same of those ( which likely) and they fit good. I was a bit worried about that, im glad you gave feedback on that Its also nice to know that it wont mess with the screen protectors because some cases end up messing the sides of the screen protectors.
I also have the same question as ayeitschris about being a two part case. I think it is, but im not sure :/

Yes it is two piece case. It will go well with case friendly screen protectors (obviously).. But with FULL SP, i cant guarantee, but with my realook 3d forming, it should have been a great fit with the case except that i misaligned the SP a bit to the left so its my fault.
The case does have a good fit, but takes a hell taking it off.
Overall, satisfied. It only costs here like $3.5 only.

I didn't post it at first because i wasn't sure it was ok ( even though i have seen links on other posts, so i think it is but didn't want to risk it) and i also didn't want people thinking i was the seller trying to promote the case.
Search with the following keywords: slim armor case s3 . This will give you a list with different sellers selling the case. Make sure you select at least the option on the top of the page that says "1 piece only" so it won't show you the listings for cases in bulk.
Since the original Nexus 7 thread was removed, I thought I'd start a new one. Here's some pictures of my new White Carbon Fiber skin that I recently applied to the back of my Nexus 7. I really like it.

For the special instructions, I asked for a "Meme Medley". I was thinking I would get a bunch of inter-related meme's. I should have known better...
Looks good! Did you just get the back? I ordered the carbon fiber white with all of NEXUS cutout as well. I have the carbon fiber white front coming with the back. I received my Ghost Armor front screen protector 2 days ago. I need to install it today so I'll be ready to install the dbrand skins as soon as they arrive!!
Yea, that's weird about the original dbrand thread. I actually just opened the app to search for it, but checked this subforum first to see if I had missed it, then saw your thread.
Anyway, I wanted to ask a question, and this to everyone who has received their dbrand skins. About how long did it take to receive your skins after the day you purchased, or after you got an email saying that your order had shipped? Also, which state was your order ships to?
I'm in Georgia, and I've already received the email from them saying that my order has shipped. When I was reading the email, I was surprised to read that they're in Canada. I was thinking I had read where some XDA members said that they received their order quicker than they were expecting. I'm hoping mine comes soon! For the last few days, I've been checking the mail and expecting to see my dbrand skins in there. I'm hoping that they'll come tomorrow, though I've been telling myself that for a couple days now already, lol

I believe mine a was a 2-3 days and that was for both times since they accidentally sent me the wrong style piece at first. Pretty quick since I live in Michigan.
I couldn't decide what I wanted so I ordered the black leather back skin for mine. The white looks great though.

I know, I thought it was really weird too. I didn't see any mention of why it was deleted either anywhere in these forums (I did a lot of searching!). I did notice that the Nexus 4 DBrand thread is still up, so it must be isolated to the Nexus 7 2013 thread.

Wow, that's a pretty quick delivery time! Guess I can see that though since you're in a state bordering Canada. I'm in a state near the bottom of the US, and one of the furthest away from Canada. Even with that in mind, I'm hoping my skins come before too much longer...

I know, I thought it was really weird too. I didn't see any mention of why it was deleted either anywhere in these forums (I did a lot of searching!). I did notice that the Nexus 4 DBrand thread is still up, so it must be isolated to the Nexus 7 2013 thread.
I just got the back sticker. I personally don't like the look of the skin on the front of my device, but I know lost of people love it.

Hopefully a dbrand rep will let us know what the deal with that is

They sent my order (Mahogney) Monday this week and I received it yesterday in Sweden/Europe. Really fast! Looks amazing

Same skin plus orange one (only the back). Sent 2 days ago, the french guy is quite impatient to receive his order and see the result
If I remember correctly, the same thing happened in the Nexus 4 subforums. A mod closed theirs because he/she deemed it as the "selling of products" or something of that nature. Since when is a rep interacting with the community considered the "selling of products"?
My dbrand front and rear skins in white carbon fiber came in the mail today! I installed my Ghost Armor screen protector last night, well early this morning technically, around 2 AM. I'll probably wait until tonight, to give the Ghost Armor close to 24 hours to dry/cure fully. Looking forward to getting these skins installed and seeing how the white front looks in my all white Moko UltraSlim case!

This is correct....
But they reopened the ones that were made by customers like us but not the ones made by dbrand themselves. Thats why the n7 one got deleted but the n4 one got reopened. Its still OK for dbrand to interact with us they just can't start their own threads to sell the skins. I'm glad that xda and dbrand were able to talk and clear things up.

Has anyone applied a dbrand front skin over a screen protector, or even under a screen protector for that matter?
I'm going to apply mine over my screen protector. I considered putting my screen protector over the skin, that way it would keep the skin from getting dirty or scratched. I was afraid there might be small air pockets around the display where the skin's edges meet the display if I did it that way though, so I decided I'd put the skin on last. Just wondering how other peoples' skin/screen protector combo turned out

Well it's almost 1 AM here and I've been drinking since 7 PM, but I'm about to put my dbrand front skin over my Ghost Armor screen protector anyway. Lol

Turned out AWESOME!!! I love the way my N7 FHD looks now!!! Dbrand front skin went on top of the Ghost Armor screen protector with out any issue whatsoever!! Skin went on like the Ghost Armor SP wasn't even on there. Guess that makes since though, because with a Ghost Armor screen protector, your device still looks an feels the same as it did before you put any screen protector on it. That's just one of the many reasons I LOVE Ghost Armor!!

Couple more pics. Just trying to emphasize and show that you can't even tell there's a screen protector installed! That's why Ghost Armor is the only brand I'll use on my devices!!
