Skinomi TechSkin Anyone?

Hi!
I'm looking for a protective skin for my Xperia. I bought SGP Shield but i don't like the body protection because there are a lot of spaces between the panels, and the phone may scratch easily in some places (specialy the chromed parts).
Did anyone installed the Skinomi TechSkin? In their pic it seems that it will cover better the phone without any space left uncovered.
Skinomi: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B002L9FDPK/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=301185&s=wireless
SGP: http://mojel98.cafe24.com/eb-allcra...son_xperia_x1_incredible_shield2_contents.gif
The screen protector from SGP is impressive. I like it.
Thanks in advance!

I don't have it, but please post if you get it. I would like something that covers just the chrome, as that seems to be the most delicate part of the phone, and covering it won't affect the aluminum feel of the phone.
Let us know how the TechSkin fares!

If it's the same one that I have, then it is the best screen protector out there. Reason I'm not sure if it's the same as mine is because it was advertized differently when i got it. On ebay it was called the clear protector for xperia without the brand name you mentioned. The only similarity between the two is the fact that the skin cuts are exactly the same. because my phone is covered in all the areas and the one you posted matches that. if they mention that the protector material is the same stuff they use to line helicopter propellers, then it's the same stuff and i would highly recommend them.

Thank you! I have ordered this product. I'll post when it arrives over 3-4 weeks, and tell you what I think about it.
Cheers!

Yup, same one: Skinomi
I'm interested in the full skinned body to protect my X1, but I'm not too sure because I'm afraid of how it will end up looking. I saw a Fuze with it and if you looked closely, you could see clearly the skin lines on the sides. Is there any possibility that you could post some close up pics as to know how it looks like?
Thanks in advance!
Oh! And hows is the feel to it with the skin? Is it too glossy that the original fuze?
Thanks!!

Sorry I'm replying so late.
Well, I removed the skin from my X1 (I'm planning on buying the black housing since I have silver), so all that's on it is the screen and the battery cover. I can say confidently that it feels great. If your hands are moist, you can slide your fingers across it. Same goes for if your hands are dry. It doesn't feel cheap. And it won't stick to the sides in your pocket, you can pull it out smoothly with no trouble. If I ever get around to posting a pic, I'll do so. Cosmetically, you can't really tell it's there from a glance. Up close you can see it, but it's not all too different from an X1 without it.

Thank you!
I have ordered it some 3 weeks ago. It should arrive any day now. I've also ordered the leather pouch from noreve. I hope that I'll install the Skinomi only in extreme cases .
Cheers!

Skinomi installed and not worth of it
Its true that its improve the protection but lacks of stay on phone, its separates more day after day from the surface of the x1 if you puts the x1 inside a cover or in a pouch without mention the risk that you have to "WET" the skinomi to apply in on the phone! i had to get a hairdrier with me LOL. I not recommend this.

Thanks. I've bought my Skinomi TechSkin, and also a Noreve leather pouch. I don't need the Skinomi TechSkin anymore, so I can't communicate you the results.

Are these scratch-proof made of military helicopter blade material like the protech & Zagg shields?

Invisible Shield

hey there,
ive searched in the "cases" thread but i havent found a solution. I think ill buy an invisible shield full body protection from zagg. for my hd2. Is this a good choice? It costs a lot of money.. is it stabile enough for 3 years without bubbles etc.?
And could pleaase someone who already has it on his HD2 upload a pic of it.. how it looks on the front and especially the back (NOW IT SHOULD BE GLOSSY) side? Please! Thanks in advance!
or if u got any alternative suggestions to invisible shield plz feel free to tell me

this thread will give you reqd info:

sorry looked through the whole thread but couldnt find it

i´ve installed the fullbody kit today, and this was very easy.
there is no air bubble or something like this.
the handling of the hd2 is amazing now, because of the better grip.
so a clearly recommendation!

i've had the full body kit on for about 9 weeks, and am very happy with it. feels great to the touch, helps with the sensitivity issue, but doesn't make it un sensitive, looks great on the hd2 (take your time fitting, and use plenty of moisture, ) fits like a lovely glove.

screen protector
I've always used sp's. Tried all different kinds. Put phantomskinz on hd, loved it. Then put it on hd2, seemed ok? Decided to try htc sp300. it was ok, until I installed swype. Noticed I had few more errors? My bud, Agoat,said take it off & try , I did, wow! Now I don't even have to hardly get close to letters to type.Still learning, but nice now. Must have transferred pressure or static? I use Imagnum case, so screen is protected in pocket. I think I'm set? lol Quig

you are joking, do you?

I've had the invisible sheild on for about 6 weeks now and it does seem to offer protection. I do have trouble reading the screen in strong sunlight though..

only if you yank off. moisture and patience it comes off.

hm? means that if im trying to put the sp (IS) off my metal cover gets damaged? in which way..?
do you have pics of it - how it looks on the back and on the front side with IS?

Phantomskins, not Invisibleshield
Sorry, posted earlier about using invisibleskin, it wasn't, it was phantomskinz, they are great.

I wouldn't put Invisible Sheild on anything it turns brown after a few weeks and makes your device look horrible. Look what it did to my poor Touch Pro. I reccomend a Vikuiti protector and a gel case for a happy HD2.

I bought one. Used it for a day. Removed. Once it hit my pocket, the edge of the shield all had fur or my pockets around it. Quite hard to clean it off. Next, I dun quite like the feeling when i grab the phone with the shield on. Lastly, it it not 100% covered. Makes it look like a half pass job to me. Wont recommend this to my friend.

bought it
Just bought a ZAGG InvisibleSHIELD Full Body protection for my HD2, will put it on and post a responce by today.

I have full body kit for the HD2 that I will not be using due to what I have seen and heard about this screen protector.
Any offers for it? Its unused.

Beware of FULL body
Not sure about just screen, but I had IS for HTC HD, not HD2. But generally speaking - it is about the same when it comes to IS, right ? Now ... I had full-body IS installed by professional in IS kiosk. Yes, they have IS kiosks in malls where they sell IS and also install them. I also tried installing it myself. And I DID take my time installing it and it looked great.
It looked great 1st 3-4 months, but then it started to peel off on corners. Now it looks terrible and I will remove it. I actually tried it 3 times !!! Really !!! Same story. And when you use pouch and frequently take out/insert your phone into it - this IS peels off even faster. Problem is that if some piece starts peeling off ... and you take out and insert your phone in case often ... that peeling becomes worse. Last time I used spare phone to let IS "sit" for a week !!!
Bottomline ... for HD2 I'm NOT planning to buy FULL body. Just IS screen protector - may be. Or some other SP. But not full body. And gel/hard plastic/metal cover. And pouch with clip
May be I'm just unlucky. But 3 times ??? I had HD from Nov 2008 and IS gave me nothing but trouble.

I installed IS for my HD2 since 10 January 2010. I bought the full body from IS website and try to install it myself. For the first time there were a lot of bubbles that couldn't be removed. I thought the bubbles would be fewer if I left it for 1 day, but I was wrong. The bubbles stayed there without any improvement. I peeled it and made the invisible shield very very wet, then paste it on my HD2. I was shocked because the result is very great. No bubbles at all. I just put the screen protector and battery cover protector because I don't like the glossy look on my matte back rubber finish.

Best / Thinnest Cases for the HD2?

I know there are several threads about cases for the HD2 here, but a few are about leather cases (which I do not want to use)...there some about the silicone/ gel cases which I would like to use, and theres the invisible skin type which I would like to know more about. I do not know if the Invisible Skin/Armor ..w/e you want to call it -they seem the same to me... are tough enough to truly protect the phone from a fall ?
I also would like to know if there are any silicone/gel cases which are thinner than usual but still provide adequate protection...
One good example I can think of is this one case I saw on an iphone -it was a clear hard case, but it was very thin which made me really like it...

you're not reading properly. he's saying why go cheapo on an expensive phone?
Just got the Silver Case Mate Barely There today. Brilliant stuff - super snug, mirror finish, super thin. As thin and light as More-Thing's cases in fact, which I used to use when still on a Touch HD. Finger magnet but love it anyways

Better go cheapo-if i'd get a nice looking case, i wouldn't want THAT to get scrathed up either!

I ordered the capdase protector, seems to be really nice. the invisible shield and stuff like that offer no drop protection i hope mine will offer some.

Hmm... the barely there case not available yet for Tmo US HD2

I bought my "barely there" case direct from HK. Problem is, if you have multiple batteries like I do, you tend to scratch your phone when removing/replacing the case to get to the battery cover.
This led me to use the clear/invisible armor/shield, but I've had to remove the section that covers the antenna because it seems to cause rapid battery drain - see my post at thread 652013.

I received

and i find it's great.

is it much different than the one shipped with the hd2?

Tried quite a few cases but my fav so far is this one:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390149733765&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Also known as flexishield case. It's like a soft plastic / gel case so glides in and out of your pockets easily and doesn't stick/attract lint like some silicone cases. It offers good protection but only adds about 1mm thickness to your phone.
I recommend black/gray but the choice is yours.

I actually ordered one like that...
but I find it hard to believe that it only adds 1mm thickness, 1mm is like a screen protector thickness almost....idk maybe I am wrong?

Okay maybe two then
But certainly doesn't add much at all. A screen protector is micron thin. I don't think it adds 1mm...
There are also variations in the gel type cases. Some are actually thicker. My friend bought a similar one but was quite a bit thicker. It had like a checked pattern on the back.

Video Review: BodyGuardz Carbon Fiber Armor for Xperia Play!

Hi guys,
I usually post on the Galaxy S II and Sensation forums, But I recently received an Xperia Play for review - so I'll be doing coverage on some accessories for it. Today, I've got the BodyGuardz Carbon Fiber armor, a thick skin you apply on your Xperia Play that offers scratch protection and design. Overall, I'm pleased with the skin and definitely recommend it. Bear in mind, this provides NO drop protection.
Full review below:

That's a nice review. At first I thought it was case and was confused by your last sentence, but after watching the video it was all clear hehe.
I really liked how it looked and that red color was just amazing looking, I wish they sold those around here

You left out the most important thing!
When you slide out for the Gamepad,you didnt show that!
But i assume its fine,good review...but after i saw the face of the phones screen i dont think there is a need for it for now

Sorry about that, didn't think it was necessary since the skin only covers the outside the device. Sliding the gamepad does not affect the skins at all if that's what you were worried about.

It looks great. I seem to be in the market for a new case. I can't seem to find anything that has a slim fit like that one, but I also need something that will protect the phone form being dropped.

Is this just a sticker? What sort of protection does this provide? Just so the back doesn't get scratched?

That's exactly what it is, a sticker.
But it's not "just so the back doesn't get scratched" because there are other films for that. This one has design and it's cool IMO (3 colors for you to choose).
Go to the BodyGuardz site, search for Xperia Play and hit the Full Body Protector. That one is just so the whole body doesn't get scratched.

How does it stack up to
a zagg cover/sticker?
Sent from my R800x using XDA App

play looks like a doormat now..

Does this sticker give you a better grip?
Because that's the most annoying thing about this phone, the backplate is too smooth, it slips easily out of your hand

Very lovely the sticker, the bad thing is that not protejera almost at all, but a new aspect,

hello, just want to check something. after applying the sticker, will the phone fit into the DK300 multimedia dock?

incipio lg g2 case for tmobile

http://www.incipio.com/cases/smartp...obile/brig-case-for-lg-g2-sprint-tmobile.html
So yea...was wondering if anyone has it yet. Just from looking at the picture im around if i got this case it might peel or damage the screen protector....but i love the case design and simplicity.

I'm thinking of going with this. Wonder if they'll make a red case to match my white G2

I just bought this case the other day and I love it. It protects the phone well enough while still being thin and easy to slip in/out of my pocket. I don't use a screen protector so I can't attest to that aspect.

..

Well its a nice case to be considered for G2....but the same confusion is also arising in my mind regarding the screen protector....whether it would be compatible with it or not.....because as the pics are displayed it might peel off the screen protector....if anybody has used it please post the pics.....

Are you high, drunk or both?

so i got my screen protector and case
screen protector -
goods - comes with 3 screen protector, easy to do
bad - kinda streaky, also when i was peeling off the adhesive, i pulled it too fast and bent the screen protector, so basically you see the bent mark so thx god i had 2 more
but pretty good screen protector 7 out of 10
case - i like the simple look so im pretty happy with the case, a bit tough to take out once you put it on, but thank god theirs no battery to pull out

Happy to say i found a red case that's similar to this style. unfortunately I have to remove my bodyguardz clear skin from the phone for it to fit.
I don't think I'm ready do that. Do any of you guys with this case have a skin on your phone? How's the fitment?

To the OP
I got this case today. It's the best feeling case I've used to date on any phone.
I don't use protectors but I think this will play nice with them. It doesn't come way over the bezel like other cases.
I love this case and its design. So sturdy and nice feeling.
LG G2

Its a ***** to take off.....but yeah it feels good and looks sleek
