Hi everyone,
I just got my X1 recently. I read alot on forums about the problem of paint peeling off from X1, esp on the edges.
Does anyone have good ways to prevent paint peeling or at least cover the whole X1 body and delay the peeling for at least 1 year?
Does BodyGuardz, InvisibleShield, SGP, Clear-Coat, or even GMask cover the entire X1 body, especially the shiny edges?
Appreciate any comments on the above, thanks
GMask covers everything, the rest ~90%.
thanks rickysio, any idea how much it cost to get X1 done with GMask?
I read in another forum that the GMask in Singapore Bishan Junction 8 had an incident of scratching a customer's phone >_< and initially refusing to admit liability until the customer made a big fuss out of it, does anyone has a good experience with GMasking their phones esp SE X1 ?
(Most) Small shops in Singapore mostly refuse to admit liability. Cause most owners are asshats.
Heard that BodyGuardz covers ~95% however.
I heard that GMask SG charges $39.90. My Xperia is still going about free willy, however. ;D
Does GMask covers the screen too? I just got for my X1 Martin Fields screen protector, would be a dilemma if i need to remove the screen protector in order to get it GMask >_<
If i add on GMask on top of Martin Field, not sure if it will be too think for the touch screen to work, though that would be 'double protection'
You can ask them not to cover the screen. GMask... Hmm, I have conflicting reports from users and the GMask website. One says it only covers the body (consumers) and the other says everything (GMask)
Thanks for the info rickysio
I use for my X1i the InvisibleShield. I think it took me about 2 or 3 hours to put it. The apperance changed a lot, is more shinny now (not in a good way). The InvisibleShield come with screen protection also, but the problemm is that the peel is a bit to big (about 0.5 mm in both ways) and this is the reason why on 2 edges is not perfectly sticked.
I also have 2 peels that i didn't have a clue where to put them
InvisibleShield is terribly grippy. Had one on my iPod Touch - had it changed a RACEShield, which is a similar product, but was formerly automobile only - it felt way better to the touch.
Both however, had gaps.
Has anyone tried using soft silicon cover together with screen protectors? Any downside to this set of protection?
Aside from added bulk and lint loving silicon being a bad match with pockets, the only drawback would be that some particles could get trapped between the silicon and the case and scratch the hell out of your phone - happened to my 5700.
Whatever you do don't get an invisible shield. what a piece of garbage from a garbage company
Then, the avergae suggestion would be to leave the X1 as is and take care of it? I've a got a screen protector, and was wondering about the GMask, InviShield and such products... From Brohlin's and rickysio's experiences, I guess I just made my mind
Actually I was probably going to GMask my Xperia soonish, but then I found out that I chipped the chrome somehow prior, so I can't be bothered any more.
I just applied a screen protector and stored it in a Oakley pouch. :S
My X1 is naked. Lol. I really don't care about the wear and tear of day to day use. I love my X1 and its "battle scars!"
Invisible shield isnt a bad company but there prolly are companies that off the same quality for less money. I have it on mine and no problem i also recommend it to my friends.
I dropped my phone the other day and it decides to leave ALL the impact to the upper left corner so now its cracked and shipped :-/
The most important spot to protect is the corner, which i dont thing film styled skins do

I'll have to agree on that.. however, the other bug rubber skins are so ungodly hideous... Anyhow. I think mine's gonna stay naked for now... I just wouldn't like for the back plate to get scratched.. it just looks so nice
haha i meant "chipped" btw not "shipped"
I really dont want a rubber skin either, they should make a paperthing strong alloy casing lol
i tried skinomi.
you can get it for $15 using the 25% discount coupon(google it)
its really good. It's same as invisible shield but this one fits PERFECT.
The only thing is that it makes your phone shiny, its not that bad. The back battery cover has that metallish look, but after putting the skinomi, it's unnoticeable and it just looks like a shiny fone.
and have some patience after applying it. give it about 2 days for all the bubbles to disappear. THEY DiSAPPEAR FOR SURE.
I like skinomi. Also, make sure you use a clean dust free environment.
Also, it's really hard to remove it from the screen, once it sticks. so if u plan to remove it some day, make sure u do it very carefully, as u can easily damage the screen while removing it.
Hey everyone,
I recently purchases a custom zagg skin and the invsibleSHIELD ,
The zaggskin is easy to put on the back of your HD2 , its a little bit smaller, but that makes the process of putting it on easier (It took me like 2 min?),
Before the invsibleSHIELD I tried various screen-protectors , but I always had bubbles or dust underneath them.
With the invsibleSHIELD I just followed instructions , and volla , no airbubles, no dust , its makes the screen even brighter.
One negative point about it, its pricey , i ordered mine during Memorial Day (50 percent off),
Regards,
PS: Sorry for my bad english
How can a cover make the screen brighter? Are these skins polarized or something? I'm curious.
All this is rubbish, I understand the need for a big silicon or hard cover to protect your phone from drops but what is the point of the invisible shield when you cant scratch the phone anyway. There is no way it can make the screen brighter, or make you see better in the sun.
Some screen protector companies even claimed that only the person looking right at the device can see the screen, so therefore if someone was trying to peak over to see what you are doing they couldn't, well I ordered that and obviously it is not true not even slightly dimmed from the sides. so don't believe everything they say.
invisible shield
i wont take the chance of scratching my screen even if its impossible
invisible shield is not only on the front but on the back too.
its less sensitive for oily fingerprints - maybe that is why it looks a little bit brighter than without. before i had it, it was difficult to see in sunlight and now its better.
plus, the device wont slip of your hand, again do to the back cover.
so, i recommend invisible shield sincerely
cheers
thumbs down
My zagg sheild pretty much rendered my HD2 useless. The screen was really desensitized way too much. I'm not surprised...the zagg shield is so thick and durable that if I didn't have to "touch use" my screen, it would have been perfect. I ended up tearing of the $20+ protector and discarding it...

No problems here, and the screen protector isn't that thick, its just even thick like any other screen protector ,

The HD2 screen can be scratched, there are examples of it on this forum, just search.
Spending $10-20 on a quality screen protector is probably the cheapest insurance you could get to protect your screen if/when you scratch the protector and the scratch becomes unbearable, spend $10-20 on a new one
Though Ive not seen one before for mobile phones, there are privacy screens for laptop/desktop monitors. These screens significantly blur the image unless you are directly in front of the screen, if you tilt the screen more than 10degrees or so the screen will blur. These are used a lot in medical/financial institutions, sensitive departments within companies like HR. Ive seen these appearing on ATMs now too
I will agree there is no protector that will make your screen "brighter" that's just about impossible, anything put over the screen is actually going to attenuate any light coming though it, though it may not be perceivable. Certain protectors may eliminate screen glare, making the screen easier to see in certain lighting conditions
ohhh yeah, believe me the screen CAN be scratched! got two very nice ones to prove it. lol

Well about the brighter , i have the the shield now for a week, the screen looks better because there are no fingerprints on the screen , further its scrolls smoother
Sorry but I'd stay clear from Zagg's Invisible Shiled as it is not really effective nor fully stand their claim "as advertised".
After 3-4 months of use (in tropical countries or desert areas), the sands/dirts snug into the linings, then started to peel off little by little.
Had this product on my Fuze and then my Topaz a while back, not very happy about it.
The only good things about the product is (1)fancy retail packaging, and (2)their screen protector. Sorry.
This cover is useless. I removed it after a couple of hours. What's the use of having a screen protector that doesn't cover the whole screen? Apart from the fact that it makes the screen look ugly.

It needs to sit for at least 12 or more hours to let the solution and bubbles disappear. If you had it on for a couple of hours and not days, then you did not read the instructions If applied properly you should not see it. If it looks ugly, it was not done properly or you did not let it cure long enough before using the device.
I have noticed that not all of the plastic used with Zagg products seem to be the same. I have applied one on my Tilt2 (aka. Touch Pro 2) and it did not feel like the texture of an "orange peal" like I have seen written in some reviews. I no longer have the Invisa Shield on the screen as it started to come up on the edges by the chrome phone edging causing lint, dust, etc. to collect under. I also noticed it turn a slight yellow. The colour change was odd as I don't smoke or hang out with smokers. It could be from rubbing against the lining of my leather case I kept it in (although it has a black lining).
At my work we have a Zagg promo for Apple iPads and this is where I have come across the "orange peal" texture on a few of the installs. I don't think it is due to improper install as we always use the same solution and method of install for each one.
In short:
the pros: it protects well against scratches and minimizes the look of finger prints
the cons: could gain a yellow tinge after several months, not easy to remove dust/dirt if it gets under edges, and not easy to apply first time around for most.
My advice for capacitive screens is to not spend lots on a screen protector. The cheep vinyl protectors may not look as good but will work just as well. Remember: all capacitive screens are made of glass which will not scratch under normal use. If you keep your phone in your pocket, the chances for scratching will increase as sand or tiny bits of gravel can collect in the lining and rub against the screen. Even keys can scratch if enough pressure is applied. For those who saw the YouTube HD2 scratch test, did you see how much pressure was applied to the keys, knife, and scissors? Not enough to scratch it, add enough and it will...

How many times there have to be said that this capacitive screen is not made from GLASS, there are enough people one the web which HD2 got scratched, believe they will scratch
I have the full body zagg skin. Gotta say it's great. Simple to apply and really keeps the device from getting scratched. Even protects the corner. Don't get what the complaint above was about. It covers the screen so wtf are you talking about? Only thing I wish they'd fix is that you can't apply a skin or case over it. If you do it'll get stuck to it unless it's like a cloth case or something. Hope they fix that issue one day. Still not bad, plus I did like the OP and ordered on Memorial Day for like 12 dollars.

Glue softens
I have to say I was happy for around 5 months - until it started to get warmer. Then the glue started to soften and smear out from under the shield. It made the screen look a bit of a mess and ultimatly the corners started to flap about because all of the glue had gone. Contacted Zagg customer support and they admitted this can happen when warm and humid. They suggested I use their replacement service but why should I pay around 6€ for postage in both directions if as soon as it gets warm it will be a mess again. Not very impressed. I'll stick to the electrostatic screen shields in the future. Can anybody recommend one?
Just was wondering what people have been using to protect their N1s now that its been out for a while, and how has it held up. I like the look of the N1 on its own without cases, and was thinking of using the little pouch that came with the box with no other case. Is this a wise move?
I have a case on my phone and an anti-glare screen protector (don't get anti glare it ruins the screen's look and colors) the reason I don't use the pouch is it gets annoying to take the phone out of my pocket with the pouch on then have to remove the phone from the pouch.

The slip case that came with the phone
Seidio Innocase works for me. See the XDA Nexus acessories section...
I've got an Otterbox Commuter series case that I use when I'm on "business" trips or at other times that my phone is likely to be handled roughly. That case is no joke. Actually, I would probably use that case all the time if I didn't use my car dock every time I drive. It takes a bit of time to pull the phone out of the case several times a day. I generally just use the slip case that came with the phone. Does a good job of fighting off scratches, and is still easy to remove so I can install the phone in a dock in just a moment.
Just a screen protector, I have used cases/covers etc, and always end up coming back to just nothing I like the slim feeling
I like the slim look also, thats why i think im going to stick with the little android pouch that came in the box. Just hope it doesnt cause any black marks on the sides or anything. Previous owner of the nexus said he never used a case but made sure nothing else was in his pocket and the phone looks brand new with no marks anywhere.
On one of my other N1s there are some dust particles under the screen on the bottom left. 1 of them is big enough to look like a dead pixel when the screen is on, the rest are not noticeable. Anyone have a easy fix to get rid of the dust? That one particle is starting to annoy me.
Ever since I lost the neoprene case, I have been going commando.

I do similar: when I'm traveling, I put the N1 in my Otterbox Commuter case and enable the PIN the lock. Otherwise, no case and no PIN.
A gel skin for me.
I put a screen protector on it to cut down on sweaty fingerprints during the summer, otherwise nothing. I've had mine since it came out for ATT (march?) and it's still perfect. Just keep keys and change in the other pocket.
i'm using a silicone slip on protector. i'm too scare i'll drop it without it otherwise i would go commando but i have nerve damage in my right hand so my control over parts of my hand are sub par compared to normal people
my ulnar nerve was severed by glass and repaired but i still do not have full function of the minor muscles in my hand and only have partial feeling in the pinky/ring finger and that side of my hand so thicker phones are more comfortable in my hand and the super rubber grip around the whole thing makes it very hard if not impossible for it to slip out of my hand.

I use BestSkinsEver (for a fraction of the cost of an InvisibleShield) protection and a horizontal leather Case Logic pouch... I used to have a silicon protector but it was a pain in the butt because it collects dust and lint like crazy!
Do you use screen protection ?
The LG Optimus Chic I tried and returned was known to have easy to scratch plastic, so I had Bell apply their $20 iShieldz before I took it home. It made it feel somewhat rubbery and I didn't like that too much.
I'm planning to devote one pants pocket exclusively to the phone, so hopefully that will help, but sooner or later stuff happens. I DID enjoy that video of a Legend dropped/thrown onto the sidewalk three times... LOL.
Is the Legend known to have a robust, relatively scratch-resistant screen ? Is protection needed ?
Is your Legend "naked" or what do you use and why ?
"Naked" legend.
I'm very careful with my phones, my legend doesn't have a single scratch yet
My legend is "naked" aswell.
I try to use it as less as possible when my hands are dirty, wich they are most part of the day being a car mechanic. But after 7 months of use not a single scratch yet.
Cool, thanks for the responses.
So far 4 of 5 responded "naked" and I haven't voted in the poll myself.
So I guess I'll go without protection too. I imagine touchscreen response is best that way and you'd THINK a good product shouldn't need after-market protection. Although they might sell more phones in the long run if the phones got beat up quickly.
Ya being a glass screem it seems to be pretty well scrath proof, as I'd assume anything hitting strong enough to scratch will end up doing more than just a scratch. Though I do have a sticker on the back of the phone, as I have scratched the case a bit from drops.
Naked as well, no scratches so far

Oh, OK, now I see. The Legend screen uses glass and the Optimus uses plastic.
This is my first cellphone or post 2000 PDA and I wasn't aware the manufacturer had a choice of materials.
My vote is naked then.
I use a screen shield. If you apply it carefully, nobody will notice. Not even you.

I used to be naked until I put a considerably large scuff on the top of my Legend next to the headphone jack, so I got hold of a very nice leather case with a plastic cradle inside it. It's also got a magnetic latch and appropriate holes for the headphone jack, power button and volume buttons. My only qualm is that there is no hole for the USB cable, so I have to have the case open whenever I'm charging it or transfering files.
Moral of the story: Get protection before you dent your Legend rather than afterwards...
I got two free plastic cases that came with plastic films, so I just dressed it all up. I'm glad I did because I dropped the phone one day and I think it would've scratched if it wasn't protected! I don't really notice a hinderance due to the film but I do notice lots of little scratches forming in the film from use, so I'd rather destroy the film than the phone.
Previously I had a HTC Dream and I somehow got a scratch on the face even though I was usually careful with it.
I say atleast put a film on the front and give it a try. They're cheap enough to throw away without feeling a dent in your wallet if you do decide against it.
I used to have a film on the screen but I hated it. Now I use this case http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110592045657&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_600wt_907 I love it.
has anyone tried to use apple protections on legend...
nice screen protector
I don 't think we need any protection cause the body is strong enough and the screen is glass which cannot break ..

Hi,
I use screen protection for my Legend. I bay 4 protectors for 0.99$ from ebay
For now I'm satisfied.
I use a film protection for display and Gelaskin (i can't post link )
None. Used to have protective shield and a case first month, but didn't like the looks nor the feel.
After a year and a half of neither, just a minimal dent on the left side of the body after the Legend slipped out of the chino's pocket down on asphalt.
I'll never wear chinos again.
The Legend is durable enough to withstand collisions unlike other phones. Screen Guard isn't needed if you treat your phone sensibly.

It's actually Gorilla glass, so no need for a screen protector, had mine for 2 years now, I don't really baby it and there's only maybe 3 tiny scratches and they're not visible when the screen's on.

I bought original htc screen protectors and they are good
Just curious as I am using the Best Buy screen protector film and just can't stand the feel of the sharp edges etc so I want to remove it. Anyone gone a while without coverage and if so, any major scratches?
Thanks in advance
Hi @imapfsr,
using my device without a screen protector since 22/12/2016 and have no scrates
Everything should be fine if you use an protective cover for the phone.
I got an inch-long scratch on the screen where usually my right thumb roams around while it's been only a month I got this phone.
Thanks for your input....I was hoping for all positive results but I think Im still going to chance it. I do have a nice lined sleeve so I should be ok. It really is amazing how good this screen looks when you dont have anything on it so Im going to enjoy it instead of obsessing over it and keeping it mint for the next user when I sell it.
have you seen the scratch test videos on youtube for this phone? this phone is as scratch resistant as any other flashship device. i honestly have no idea what people could be doing to scratch this phone. i carry it with my keys in my pocket with zero worry about it scratching after seeing the test. i really don't know how you could scratch it unless you did it intentionally.
I occasionally use the case it came with but 90% of the time this thing is in it's Birthday suite, not a single scratch or mark on it. The Ceramic is such a gorgeous material and pretty much scratch proof! The glass used for the screen is also pretty robust. I wouldn't worry about this thing scratching... drops are what you should be afraid of!
Same here ...ive had rhis since November, I actually hate the leather case and opted for a slim transparent case from China which shows off the body...I tried to go completely naked but this phone is just waaaaay to slippery, dont have a screen protector...and wont put one one....not a single scratch...( Fingers crossed)
Most things wont scratch it, unless its "harder" than the material of the phone.
Watch out for things like SAND! and GLITTER!
Thanks everyone for your feedback. I am full on nude now...lots of hand cream to keep the phone from slipping out of my hands...no scratches on the front but surprise how quickly the ceramic back has developed tiny scratches but it still feels to good for any kind of wrap or skin.
Darn glitter ?

Thanks in advance.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0..._SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=xiaomi+mimix+case also have a look at case fanatic they have a few different ones ive ordered some but they haven't arrived yet.
Mine is still mint. Leather case has never touched it. I am overly careful and don't even leave it on most tables and such unless there is a soft tissue, tablecloth or anything covering the surface. That can sort of be crippling for most people. Therefore it's mostly in a pocket clean of debris. I just can't stand cases. I always opt for custom skins for the back so I can put it down everywhere. Chances of finding someone making custom skins for this device must be slim. No luck yet. May have to buy one of those ready made ones. Seen a carbon type, but seems like the choices are few. Please hit me up if anyone else are looking and finds anyone that offers custom ones. Would be much appreciated.
Maybe I'll make my own, idk.
So I am two or three weeks in with no protection, front or back, and I hate to say it but the back of my phone is scratched up pretty bad. I use a sleeve to carry it around and I'm not sure if that is what is causing it. Just curious if anyone else has had bad scratching our if it's just me.
No screen protector, no casing, no nothing. Had it since december 19th. No scratches, still pristine.
It's forbidden where I live, unfortunately.
What is forbidden? Going naked?
I never use the film screen protectors, presently [as with all my past phones] using the provided leather case [will eventually go to a flip cover case - always have them so comfortable with them].
I prefer carrying my phone naked. Especially, when it's a nice looking phone. You just have to be conscious of having your phone and grip it tight while holding it as opposed to casually holding it in a relaxed manner. Nothing will happen to it if you consciously take care of it. At best, put it in your back pocket while walking and not using it, but don't forget it's there
i have been using this naked since i purchased in September 17. Only issue is ceramic is very slippery, so use side sticker atleast to increase grip.
something like this https://www.amazon.com/Decalrus-Pro...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=2PK292A230JGWCC1JQTT
but put only on side, no back, no bottom and up
