This hurt, I'll try and post pictures but I managed to crack my Note 7 last night. Stopped at the bank jumped out of my truck and forgot it was on my lap. Took a plunge hit my step on my truck and then face down to the asphalt. Cracked left of the home button, doesn't seem bad and I could live with it but it's a new phone. Filed a claim already $200 later a phones on its way and should be here sometime Monday. Phones only about a week old, so much for this new gorilla glass but then again it was a pretty nasty fall. Anyhow just thought I would share with you guys.
Damn, that sux brother good thing you have insurance. I Cant ell you how many phones I've broken because I forgot it was in my lap. That's why I bought one of those magnetic car mounts and made it a habbit to always put my phone on there. Maybe you should consider something like that.

I'm glad you said that, there is actually one that I've been looking at and I think this whole situation is gonna make me get it. Waiting for the OtterBox defender too. Sometimes having the newest stuff sucks because there isn't much out lol.

So, all you're obligated to do is leave a review on Amazon, nothing else? Are there timelines to have reviews in by? No hidden fees, this is totally free?

I have tried 2 of them. They fit nice but did not stay that way. After about 2 days the edges lifted and dust got trapped. I trashed them both.
There is a review a guy posted on youtube with his note in the sand and ocean .. no scratches, no issues.
I'm gonna go with just a case.

Yes there is a time line In which you have to get the review done, 10 days upon receiving the product. But there are no hidden fees it's totally free. The only catch is that sellers are looking for people with high stats. So before you sign up I recommend going to you Amazon profile and write up a bio for yourself. And either delete reviews that are really short or rewrite them before uploading you Amazon profile url to the site. Most sellers are looking for reliable reviewers so at first you might not get approved for things but once you getvthe ball rolling and your average word count goes up you'll start gettig all sorts of crap that you don't need haha

Here's the damage, got my phone yesterday and surprisingly I got sent a brand new unit sealed and all so I was quite happy about that. Of course my case (Spigen) for now came in as well haha. Put it on the new device right away. Also now have to figure out what to spend my Samsung pay money on since I found out I can't transfer that
All in all the phone took the plunge pretty well now that I think about it and think about how high my truck sits. Still sucks I had to shell out the extra money though.

I have a Zagg InvisibleShield on my iPad. After applying it I noticed a few little lines that look like perfectly straight scratches but I chalked it up to user error. I went ahead and ordered one for my shiny new Samsung Vibrant and then waited over a week for it to arrive. When it finally showed up I immediately installed it and it went on without a hitch (after my iPad installation I was a PRO).
I noticed immediately that the lines were there (a couple of vertical lines from top to bottom) but I went ahead and waited a little while to see if they would go away. They never went away and are particularly irritating on white backgrounds (like web pages). I decided that I couldn't handle it anymore and wrote in for a refund. Here is the reply I got:
Hello Don,
Thank you for contacting ZAGG, where we are zealous about great gadgets! My name is David and I appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
In regards to your e-mail, the nature of the invisibleSHIELD has some limitations and it seems you have located one of the few. There can, at times, be some considerably small lines that may appear like an incredibly fine hair or scratch and this is an unavoidable quality.
If you would like, we can offer you a one time courtesy replacement for your invisibleSHIELD, but we cannot guarantee that it will be free of lines.
To process your replacement request you will be asked to provide a credit or debit card....
Click to expand...

It goes on to explain how to get the "courtesy replacement" and how to submit my credit card information so that THEY CAN CHARGE ME FOR SHIPPING! If there's a "limitations" to the product and I have "located one of the few" then they should send it to me for free. These "incredibly fine hair or scratch" lines are not acceptable on a phone where the primary selling point is the awesomely clear and 'vibrant' screen.
They did eventually get around to giving me instructions for how to get the refund so that's the route I will be taking. I have already ordered the Realook screen protector so once that gets here I will be sending the Zagg back to them.
Zagg buyer beware. You might get a good one but they "cannot guarantee that it will be free of lines".

I have Zaggs on nearly all of my devices (13, including my Vibrant) and have never once had this issue. I hope this is isolated to just you, and I don't mean that in a bad way...

It's far from just me. Google 'zagg vertical lines' and you will see that there are many people who have had the same problem.
My Realook just showed up. I ordered on Tuesday received in the mail on Thursday where it took the Zagg 9 days to show up. I took off the Zagg and put on the Realook and the difference couldn't be more "clear". If I handed someone my phone and asked if there is a screen protector on it they would say "no" (definitely not the case with the Zagg). It looks and feels like the factory glass and I LOVE IT.
I am definitely going to go with Realook from now on.
could you post a link to where to get the realooks?
Edit: See below for link.
This guy has 100% positive feedback and I see why. I ordered it Tuesday and it showed up on Thursday, from CA to TX, so I couldn't ask for faster shipping (and it's FREE).
I can't stress enough how perfect this thing is. If you want your screen to look and feel like glass this is the protector to get.
I'm having the same issue with the Zagg vertical lines. I actually thought maybe the spray messed up the AMOLED so today I took the screen protector off and the lines disappeared. I'll be contacting Zagg and looking into something else...

Just ordered one, nice that it comes in pack of 2. Otherwise, I'll have to order an extra for my wife's Vibrant, thanks for the link.
Was going to order the clearfreak, but I didn't want to deal with the wet application, then having to deal with the haze & bubbles for a few days.
that link is for the International galaxy, it has the mouse hole at the bottom.
Here is the link for the Vibrant

Just ordered a set of the real look as well...I grabbed some T-Mobile anti-smear screen protectors yesterday and hate those things. They cover only the screen itself, are matte, feel funny and the worst thing, they distort the screen in some whacked way, making the pixels almost iridescent. Needless to say, I ripped it off after an hour!
I am really looking forward to the new ones, after reading a lot of good testimonials!
Thanks for the link!

Mostly likely both are from the same seller.
i too had these lines on my cliq xt, my cliq titanium, my G1, and my laptop. i went to physical store though so they replaced them for free each time, mainly cause im a tmobile account manager with deutche telekom and they dont charge me. but they would have offered to replace them for free anyways they told me because it is a flaw in the product and it shouldnt be present in every shield
Anyone using the REALOOK, does the screen feels sticky like Zagg? I remember getting Zagg for Mytouch, and it felt sticky so I ended up buying PhantomSkinz.
The Realook is as smooth as the glass. Absolutely no friction when using Swype.

If you're going to buy a Realook, there is 10% coupon code flying around. I know it works on Amazon for sure, but dunno about ebay since you have to confirm your buy before using a coupon.
Thanks for sharing. I'm aware.
Based on pics they have up on their site of other phones, and watching a couple of their install videos, I'm really interested in the Skinomi skins... they have plenty of pictures up for other models of phones, but no pictures for the Epic 4G Touch:
http://www.skinomi.com/samsungwithin.html
I sent their customer service a message, telling them I am interested but not willing to order completely sight-unseen since I don't know how the skins will be implemented on this particular phone.
Has anyone used these skins before?
Anyone got one of them on their Epic 4G Touch yet?
I'm hoping it'll be similar to this, since these phones are pretty similar form factor:

I won't buy Skinomi again after their HP TouchPad crap. Ordered a carbon fiber skin for the back of mine. They sent me a email saying it shipped but didn't actually go out til 3 days later. Then When I get it they for whatever reason added a cut out in the back to expose the nasty HP logo instead of leaving it one piece like pictured. The picture of the skin when I bought it was one piece, a few days later they switched it to the one with the center cutout.
I got mine today and installed it and its great. I had one on my inspire and loved it. It takes about 1 to 2 days for it to settle but when it does its like glass. Ill post pics tomorrow when all the solution drys and the bubbles disappear.

What does it look like before it settles in? I put mine on about 2 hours ago and some spots on the screen look kind of sparkly. Is this normal? Maybe the solution hasn't dried?

By the way, they're available now for $3.95 plus free shipping on Amazon. I ordered a back up because it's a nice protector and so damn cheap. Figured this may be a pricing gimmick by skinomi, first time buyer. Can't go wrong for 4 bucks shipped. I don't mind the friction and it's application process gets rid of any possible air pockets and the rainbowing seems to be minimal and disappearing. Those are the things i was most concerned about. I'm diggin it.
how long did you guys wait to use the phone after applying the screen protector ??
Just to clarify...
... This thread is about the skins, not the screen protector.
Don't get me wrong - I wouldn't mind hearing how those are either, in fact id like to hear if that's all you got - but mostly want to see if the skins are laid out the same way as in the second post:

Since these seem like a great anti-case solution, I'd love to see any pictures, i don't want to buy blind.
Thanks!
I can tell you that I bought a TPU black matte case and a skinomi screen protector and they both look excellent. I have in the past on various phones used Zagg, Ghost Armor and Best Skinz. Skinomi looks as good or better then the Ghost Armor which is the only other brand I would buy again. There is little to none orange peel effect and the feel of it is almost non-existent. Zagg is the only brand i would never ever buy again. The feel of Zagg is comparable to cover being on the phone vs naked and the look leaves alot to be desired also.
For the price on Amazon for the Skinomi, it is a clear winner (no pun intended) in my book.
Good to know...
I'm not a "case" kind of a guy - i like slim and pocketable - but I do have a tpu case on here right now, and would definitely recommend it. My matte black one looks upscale and fits really well, and it's not too thick really.
I just want that mm or two back.
Any pictures?
I'm trying to upload some pictures but it won't let me it keeps giving me a security error.
Here are a few pictures of the carbon fiber skin and the screen protector.
I'm impressed... I think that looks even better than the Infuse!

You need to give these skins at least 24hrs to settle. 48hrs for sure. Assuming the install went well, you should see all bubbles/sparkles disappear.

I wanted to see the free case that comes with it. However, I really like the idea. I could purchase an extra back for my phone so I could just swap backs when I am leaving the house. I WISH I could see this in stores first as I have watched the video on how to tell which size to use, but I am not sure as to how far down on my fingers I would hold the phone. I also would like to see how easy it would be to pull the adhesive of; I would hate to substitute this as a case and then be out in the Texas heat with this thing on and the adhesive wear off, sending my $600 phone plummeting to its death. However, pretty good review I will keep my eyes on this accessory.
Oh, and I am also curious as to much thicker the small and medium
TL;DR: I need to see this in person first before I spend $30.

Nice woulda been nice to have know about this with the Samsung Galaxy Note.
It's good that there is free shipping but after watching the videos the guy did say that they are available at Inmotion stores...mostly
in airports. Here is a link to the site.

Put that good phone to use and give them a ring to make sure it is in stock before you go.
Just got this today. The thing looks quite functional, but I wonder how durable it is in the long run?
The case seems like generic black TPU, feels a bit rubbery. Although, I haven't owned a phone case in a while so I can't say. I'm on the fence about it, but will put it through its paces before passing judgment.

Training us to hold the phone is not the point. I can't even reach the Menu button or a lot of real estate on this phone much less hold it without the threat of dropping it while trying to operate one handed. With one of these my thumb will be able to reach all areas of the screen with no danger of me dropping the phone. There are many times when one-handed usage is ideal, but this phone is so large for most it's not possible. I bought one just the other day and only wish I had happened upon this thread first to get the free shipping. Did get a free case, though.

Just wondering if once on is there any method to loosen the adhesive to take it off. Due to dropping my first phone I have an extra case as well as an extra battery. I'm planning on using both cases-will place Flygrip on one and leave the other original. I'm just thinking I might not like the color (I ordered white for my blue S3) and may order another color and take the first one off.
I picked up my Note 2 on Friday night and leaving the mall I put it in my pocket. I then made the mistake of putting my keys in the same pocket and put two large scratches in the middle of the screen.
I thought these screens were nearly bullet proof???
I putt a Zagg screen protector on it yesterday and you can just barely see the scratches, but I know they are there....

These screens are not bullet proof, they're just really hard, and follow very basic laws of nature, ie. Material A will scratch Material B, if Material A is harder. So, never take your phone to the beach either as the miniscule pieces of quartz in the sand will lay waste to your phone too.
I agree, absolutely stupid and not something I normally do. But its just strange to me that three keys, none of which are particularly sharp scratched the screen in the 15 to 20 minutes they were in my pocket with the phone. My previous phone (Galaxy S2) was pretty well abused over the time I had it, and it still does not have a single scratch on the screen.
Just seems odd to me. And wanted this to be a warning to others that the screens are not as hard as we might otherwise think.

You have at least 14 days to return or exchange the device. Just go back and exchange the device.

It's your own fault dude. Gorilla glass never claimed to be scratch proof, its is more flexible than regular glass and stronger. I for one, always put a high end screen protector before I even turn device on. I call it "insurance".

No need to fault anyone. The individual already knowledge fault. You like some people I know in my life. Rip a hole into the person even after they ripped a hole into themselves. Doing nothing more than being annoying.
Gorilla glass is scratch resistant. Which is why manufacturers use Gorilla glass. And why some people think of it as "bullet proof". Of course it is not "bullet proof" or scratch proof. Nothing better educator than experience.

What are we going to do with you. You are in this: "Everyone at fault for devices costing higher and insurance costing higher" thing.
It is up to the store, in the mall, that chooses to take it back or not. Not that many get returned or exchanged in the grace time. And with the price deals that T-Mobile get they can afford it without spreading the cost to us.
The insurance thing is a different story from this grace time. Still $130 to $175 to replace a $699 device is a deal for the customers. Which means that the insurance business is still make very good profit. If it is worth it to you all depends on when the device is damaged/stolen or when you are planning to get another device. Saying to people not to return to repair or get replacement (after the grace time period) is like telling people to not go to the hospital because that will make your insurance higher. People should be able to go to the hospital even if they caused the problem. That is the price you pay in getting insurance yourself. This is the same with Cellular device insurance. If don't like this then don't have insurance and pay full price for each and every device. Then, for right or wrong, others are not effecting you.
When it comes to T-Mobile at 2013 on charging full price for devices: That has nothing to do with users "abusing" the system. T-Mobile is taking out the cost of the device from the monthly rates. So after spending $699 for a device you will get a lower cost monthly rate. And at the end save around $200 within two years of using that one device on the value plan. So stop blaming others for T-Mobile changing their business methods.
Of course you going to rip me a new one on this. I can hear now.

Quick question in the insurance, let's say i lost my phone, when I pay the 130 or 175 and I get the new phone, do I still have the same phone number or I get a new number?

i dropped my phone face flat from the chest height on a bus and 2 feet face down to a table and no scratches or cracks
After you replace your device you still will have the same cellular phone number.

My coverage thru ensquared covers theft and loss. Well worth it if you ask me. You would keep your same number.

Hey guys, have you noticed, Google is a bit lazy this year. I still haven't seen sign of official bumpers on the play store and my phone won't last more enough without a case. Anyone knows when will they be released? I mean come on, it's been two weeks Google. Hurry.

Yeah, they were supposed to release the official charger according to several sites as well. I wonder what the deal is!
I'm in the same dilemma too . I'm tempted to buy another case , since i'm scared i might drop my phone, Hope it comes out soon.
Google wants people to break their Nexus 5 so they will buy another Nexus 5
I'm really getting sick and tired of the supply problems with Google... Every single device that they release has supply issues and accessories are even worse. How hard can it be to make more devices for launch and have the official accessories ready to purchase at launch?!
They hype their products and "leak" details to get people interested and then don't produce. It's very frustrating. Anybody should be able to buy a nexus 5 or any accessories at launch and have it ship the next day.

For $35, there are better cases to spend your money on.
They released it for a few minutes on N5's release day, a few people bought and got them, they haven't put it up since then
The official Google bumpers are terrible. They're bulky and they feel cheap. Not to mention they're not truly bumpers since they cover the back. I really don't recommend them.
I would not be surprised if they are working on a real bumper to replace the one they have now.....something like the N4 bumper would be nice
I liked my friends a lot so I ordered one of eBay a few days back will post a mini review once it arrives in the next few days

I just got mine from eBay and actually really like it. Fits awesome and feels really nice. It had kind of a weird back slope on the side of the case but it's still feels good in hand. Is it worth $35? Certainly not, but if you don't mind paying a little extra I think it's nice.

The one I bought was from a guy that had one so that link isn't up anymore, but this one is still up.

I paid 52 including shipping which is basically what Google would charge (a little more but it wouldn't be by much)

To be honest I wouldnt pay $15 again for that case. Thing made the phone feel like a giant square brick and the buttons on the sides were awful.

Good to know bud. Looked like the cover would protect the phone quite well.
