Ordered from them a week ago.. Haven't gotten any kind of shipping confirmation. No response from customer service. Anyone else order from them?
I ordered one preemptively after how amazing it fit on my SGS3. Skin was defective, had raised bumps after multiple attempts to apply the skin. Contacted CS so they may be reviewing their stock doing quality control? Haven't received my replacement skin yet.

Ditto. Saw some good reviews on their product and ordered one only to find after application and dry that it had these huge vertical gashes in the material. Sent across an email and they said they'd happily replace it and that it was getting shipped soon, though I haven't seen a new tracking number or follow up email.

I got mine in the same day my N7 was delivered yesterday. I applied it yesterday and like every wet application, it takes a day or so to dry.
I still have a few water bubbles but I assume will dry by the weekend, I hope .
For tracking, have you checked the site with your order number? I did on this Tuesday and saw that they dispatched the order on the 16th.
Got my order promptly, but hated the product. My protector had a horizontal discoloration through the middle and the clarity was horrible. After 3 days I decided to return it, yet to hear back from customer service though.

Mine has a horizontal band through the middle too but it's very light and not very noticeable. I may eventually replace it with an Invisibleshield. To the OP I never got a shipping confirmation. Go to their website and check your status.
Though I will say just from the experience of applying it I don't think it's anywhere near as durable as an invisible shield. I was afraid I would tear it with the card they give you to apply it with.
I ordered mine a few days ago and received it last week.
They didn't send me a tracking number, they gave me a log in to their site and I was able to locate my tracking number in the "my account" section. I just applied it. I wasn't able to get the micro air bubbles out but thats normal and hopefully they go away soon.
The micro bubble go away after a day or so. I plan on posting a review on here when I get a sec to take some pics. If they don't go away after a few days email them and they will replace it. They have been the best company for customer service I have ever dealt with.
I ordered mine the first week of July and received them yesterday. Mine all went on without a hitch. It takes a week or so of use before you forget they're even on the device. XO makes my favorite screen protectors. I won't buy anything else. The wet application is by far the best way to put them on too.

To me Invisishield is a dry application by Zagg and is a bit thicker. I don't personally like them because they give a haze to the screen that bugs the hell outta me and has that ripple look to it. Also the ones I have used were a bit tacky as well.
The Zaggs are easy to put on as well though. It's really what you like as well. I know I loved my bestskinsever screen protector on my Nexus One back in the day. lol.
My XO skin arrived yesterday and installed it on my N7. After a few hours, there were still a lot of bubbles under the screen protector. But fast forward to 24 hours later and the skin is completely clear with no bubbles nor streaks. You really need to give it a full 24 hours to dry and fully cure. The final result does look amazing.

Yeah my microbubbles are gone as well now that its been a day and I agree it looks amazing. This is my first xoskin and I'm impressed with the quality of the screen protector, its a little rubbery but thats a small price to pay
I'm generally pleased with the xo skin on mine. It made screen unresponsive until this morning. Better quality than the last ghost armor I had but I have some vertical lines in mine.

Put mine on 3 days ago. It's ok. Still has a few bubbles on the sides. Makes my screen feel kind of sticky though. Not sure it's worth the money.not to mention I work in healthcare so need to clean my screen daily with alcohol. It becomes really sticky when cleaning it.
Had mine on for about 12 hours so far, and the screen is really unresponsive. Hope that works itself out. Its sticky to the touch, as well.
After two weeks I took it off and boy i am so glad I did. The screen is way more responsive and crisp looking without it. Even though it improved over time
the screen still felt slightly sticky the entire time.

I've had mine on for about 2 weeks now, I love it. It has a slight rubber feel to it but I have not had any screen unresponsiveness issues.
Did you let it set up properly? Apply the skin + solution, squeegee and let it sit for about 12 hours?

Has anyone received their skin? It's been over two weeks since I ordered mine and I haven't heard anything. I'm guessing that they were preselling them. I'm on my way to email customer service after this to see.

Same here. I called customer service and they told me that due to the enormous demand for the skins from the start they ran out and did not have enough. This was last friday I called. They told me that within 48 hrs mine would be shipped. It's the end of tuesday and no package. I'm calling them again tomorrow after work to see what's going on. I'll post more then.
In the meantime, phantomskinz has one for mt3gs now! Might be getting myself a refund and a phantom skinz. It's nice on my n1.
I emailed them this morning and got this reply:
"Somehow your item may have been lost during mailstream but thankfully has
been recovered. It is now currently on its way to you and you should receive
it either tomorrow or early Friday morning."
I was doubtful, but the delivery confirmation number they included seems to indicate it will be delivered tomorrow. Yay!
Got mine today will take pics tomorrow
Received mine yesterday. Tonight I face the semi-daunting task of applying it. I've never used anything like this before, hope it goes well!

So how did it go? Any tips on getting it installed smoothly?
I put it off until this morning. It went okay. Like I said, I've never used anything other than a static screen before. I got the full body Skinomi.
The screen looks great and I'm really not worried about that. The rest of it... eh. The back doesn't seem to fit right at all. I can't get the corners to stay down or even shape to the cover properly. The small strips along the top and bottom don't see properly shaped either.
I'll probably tear off the top and bottom strips, maybe the sides too. I'm going to work on the back a little bit and maybe even try to re-apply tomorrow.
Edit: Revisiting after an hour or so, I was able to fit the back quite a bit better. I think it might turn out okay. There's a little bit where the skin is hanging over the edge, so I might still re-apply, but we'll see.
i ordered a skin from them, and haven't heard anything from them. I've been trying to call, but no one answers and i can't leave a message because their voicemail is full. not sure if i should wait or take the issue up with my credit card company seeing as i emailed them a few days ago and have been trying to call for 3 days now.
I received mine after about a month. I also called a few times and they did answer. I went to install it and the only parts i can get to stick are the front pieces. Also the small front pieces are not cut well. I had to choose between letting part of the skin hanging off the edge or partially covering the genius button and home buttons. This skin and company is crap. DO NOT BUY!
Now i do have plenty experience installing phantom skinz, best skins ever, and a few others all with similar applications. Some are harder than others, but none are as ****ty as skinomi. Imma call them "****onmi" instead.
I have also been trying to call them for a week with no answer or means to leave a message. I call about 6 times per day.
My advice.. take it up with ur cc company and buy a phantom skinz. They are out for mts now. Best skin you can get, period. Also they send you 2 of them in case you mess up and have excellent customer service.
If anyone gets ahold of these assholes or finds a different phone number besides what is posted on their site, please update here. Thanx and good luck
Well i called my bank about them and they have a merchant number listed. Here is the number: 562-299-3784.
I called that and couldn't understand the guy at all, but after i got off the phone with that number, i was called by a 1-800 number from a guy from skinomi who said he'd have a CS rep contact me by the end of the day and if they don't they'd ship my purchase out.
This call was right after i disputed the purchase. I really just want a refund right now.
I ordered mine through Amazon and USPS tracking shows that it should arrive today, just over a week after I placed the order...
This is just a day after the original estimated date.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
yeah, i ordered a skin for my HD2 through amazon and everything went fine. This time though, i ordered through their website.
update on what they said though, i just got a call from the same guy and number, but no call from the CS rep. He said i'd have a call from CS within 5 mins, but we'll see how that goes.
Shouldn't the mods move this to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=662
i got a call from someone at the posted number on skinomi's website. apparently, my order should have already been shipped out. I don't believe this because i would have gotten an update about it.
They said if i didn't get a confirmation/tracking number by a day soon to come (i couldn't tell 1/2 of what he was saying because his voice kept cutting out) that they'd ship me a new one next week free of charge next week if i emailed or called customer service.
I just sent another email asking if i could cancel my order before it's shipped because i'm done dealing with it and i just ordered one of the $2 screen protectors posted in another section.
EDIT: i got an email from the phone convo, i now have a tracking number and now have to contact my bank to cancel the dispute (as they have shipped me the item i ordered).
Well, my skin arrived (a day after their original estimate, but still only 9 days after ordering) and I installed the screen-only protector on my wife's Slide and the full-body protector on mine. Installation wasn't too hard, but it took time to get it right. I'll wait a few days to pass judgment on the appearance since fog of micro-bubbles should disappear in a few days and that's to be expected. Otherwise I must admit I'm slightly disappointed in the fit. The screen piece for example is about 1/16 of an inch too short and too narrow. Not enough to be a big deal, but it's noticeable. This was on both phones/protectors so it's not like one was miscut. The pieces to protect the top and sides of the front part of the phone don't even meet or completely fill the pieces they attach to. Irrelevant from a pure protection point of view, but the edges of the film now give the phone a "sharp-edges" feel where it used to be smooth plastic curves. I was also a little disappointed that the kit did not include a piece to cover the camera lens. If there's one part of the phone that must remain stratch-free to be able to function at it's best, that would be it.
The feel of the skin itself is pretty good. The back piece I suppose is slightly more tacky/softer feeling than bare plastic. The same goes for the screen vs the protector the phone shipped with. The difference is little enough that even now it doesn't bother me, and I imagine that in a matter of days it will smooth out and/or I'll be used to it and not even notice it anymore. It certainly isn't nearly a big enough difference to make me want to take it off.
I'll post again in a few days or a week and let you know how well the skin cleared up and how much I like it after some use.
I'll admit, the fit of the front pieces isn't perfect and the edge pieces are weird enough that I still think about peeling them off every day.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with it though. The screen and back pieces fit nicely (though not perfectly) and everything went on pretty well. For the edges and the corners of the back piece, you definitely need to keep going back to it every 15 minutes or so until they'll stick well.
I do have one corner of the back piece peeling up a little, so I might re-do that this week.
Oh, also regarding their CS: I got a timely response when I sent them an email and received my skin two days later. So email might be a better way to go.
Well, I've lived with it for a little over a week now...
The good:
The feel of the skin is pretty nice on its surface. It softens the feel where it covers the plastic and gives it a slightly grippier feel. On the screen the effect is minimal with the light touches required for normal use. If you tend to have a heavy finger on the touchscreen you might not be as happy with the feel. It seems to do a good job at resisting scratches, but I'm not rough on phones so it might not be showing any anyway.
The bad:
Even though the display looks nice and clear from most angles, at some I can still see a haze of microbubbles under it. The piece below the physical buttons on the front also has some bubbles under it that haven't gone away. Since I bought this so I could just carry it bare in my pocket, I really wish it didn't collect lint so easily under the edges of every piece. Those same edges also still have a kind of sharp feel which makes the phone feel like it has slightly poorly molded plastic in some places. Also, I'm still slightly annoyed by the screen protector piece being about 1/16" too small and leaving a tiny unprotected border.
Overall, I think I'll live with it for another few weeks and then I might give the Zagg Invisible Shield a try...
It's been a while since many of us got the Nexus S. For those of you that decided to go without a screen protector how is your screen now? We know its not Gorilla glass and there has been some debate if one is needed or not. So naked people, how's your screen today? (If you purchased the phone like 4 days ago please ignore this. I'm more curious about people that have had the phone since launch or close to launch)

Ghost Armor interested me, but there's no kiosk near here in Los Angeles.
I used to be really good at installing Zagg full bodies and other brands of screen only, but I messed up my last Zagg attempt (my i9000) and am not 100% happy with the outcome, but not unhappy enough to re-do it, so not sure I want to invest the time and money to go with the GA, especially since I would not put it on the screen, just the back.
I used screen protector on my previous phones (G1, nexus one, G2). When I got this phone I realized that I was taking care of my phones just so the second owner will get a almost brand new phone and wasn't enjoying it to it fullest.
I got the Nexus S and there was no way I'm putting cloth on this sexy screen. I'm enjoying the phone to it fullest. No scratches so far, I also take good care of it by dedicating my right packet only for her, no coins no keys, just my nexy.

Ooo ya, if there hadn't been a kiosk I wouldn't have done the GA. And you'd have to buy the whole body protection which I'll admit adds sharp corners to the phone that I'm not 100% fond of. I actually took off the side protection because it was just too damn sharp.
By the way, distorted. Have you noticed its pretty much just you and I in the mornings and that we just end up chatting?

Fair enough, though I'm surprised by how early you get up. I'm only up this morning because my wife woke up with a fever so I'm up taking care of her for a bit.
I Zagged my first one but had to return it(TBH i didn't like the zagg but like to keep my phones in tip top condition as i only keep them 6 months.)
anyway CPW replaced my phone last week because the back button wasn't working but I could't transplant the zagg so went naked !
bad decision...although I keep it in a leather pouch, I noticed yesterday there is a small scuff to the screen coating near the earphone.
I love the phone but what a bad decision not to have gorilla glass or factory apply a protector!
I'm going to take it back to CPW and see if they'll replace it under sale of goods as the screen is not performing as expected - no one would expect a scuff within 5 days if their phone is only ever touched by fingers or the felty inside of phone pouch.

Sorry for off-topic to the rest.
no issues whatsoever. Screen protectors r overrated.
I got mine on first launch day, and basically I used that one as my experiment phone just to see how durable the screen was in comparison to my previously owned N1. I had the phone about 2 weeks before I noticed some very light scratches on the screen. Nothing visible head on, you could only see it from an angle with a light source reflecting off of it. For the most part, I kept it in my pocket free of hard items, but there were times when I threw it in my pocket with a few coins and keys in there. My second unit I kept for about a week. I specifically steered clear of sharing my phone with other items in the same pocket. Lo n behold, another small scratch surfaced up on the display. As I said before, it's nothing you can see right off, unless you specifically look for it. Over a short period of time, using this phone without a screen protector, will develop some sort of scratches on it, guaranteed!

I have the Nexus S for 10 days now. No screen protectors but I put it in a soft pouch when it's in my pocket. So far pristine.
I've been carrying mine in a ziplock in my pocket. My pockets seem to attract lint like no tomorrow, and I dont
want any getting stuck between the screen and bezel. I wish my cases, soft pouch, and Skinomi skin would show up already.
Phone is pristine, I'm just trying to avoid micro-scratches on the battery cover.

Ive had mine for about 6 weeks now...just before christmas i got it. Up until about a week ago i used it with no screen protector. Its fine as you would expect. But anyway i been using a screen protector for about a week now, and i feel a lot better...i dont have to worry about any little accidents or anything.

Seidio and Steinheil. Clarivue is also good.
Ghost armor all the way! No issues here with it. Had it on my g1 and it kept the phone perfect for 2 years. That one was applied by the kiosk. Don't have one real close to me now in this state but after applying these things now in a few phones I could probably do it in my sleep. Nothing under my screen and it looks and feels great. No clarity issues and it seems the film self heals scratches. You can just barely see orange Peel in certain angles under the light but you can't feel it. I had the zagg before and its utter crap in comparison. The zagg is very bumpy and the thickness of it doesn't feel right on the phone. I've found the ghost armor to fit better as well. I originally wanted a static type like realook but with the curve of the screen it doesn't seem any of those type will fit as flush as this one.

thanks on the deal! i ordered 1 xtremeguard. i ordered a cheap $2 screen protector on ebay few days ago i will use that one first until i get this! hopefully it lasts long!
great deal since it should be better then the cheap $2 generic one i already purchased!
I've amended the title & OP to reflect the fact that the code is still working.
Just a note to any one like me who is rubbish at putting screen protectors on.
Follow the xtremeguard instructions (on their website & shown below) to the letter & it will work. Also if it all goes perfectly & then a few hours later bubbles appear while it is drying do not try to remove them! They will disappear as it dries. In my case it took a few days because my flat was freezing (normally it takes only 24 hours).
How to install XtremeGuard Screen Protector
https://www.xtremeguard.com/Articles.asp?ID=239
NOTE: IT WILL TAKE THE PROTECTOR 1-2 DAYS FOR HAZINESS AND ANY BUBBLES FROM THE INSTALL TO GO AWAY. DO NOT REMOVE THE PROTECTOR DURING THIS PERIOD.
Items needed for best results:
Clean Work Area
Lint Free Cloth (Microfiber)
Water
Liquid Soap
Bowl or container for the soap/water solution
Squeegee or Credit Card
STEP 1: Remove battery from device if possible. If you have a device that does not have a removable battery (iPhone/iPod) turn off the device. Add a large drop of liquid soap to approximately one cup of water and stir. Water will be used to wet and then position the protector(s). Clean surfaces to be covered.
STEP 2: Wash your hands and then soak all of your fingers in the soapy water solution so you do not leave fingerprints. With wet fingers, peel off the backing from the guard, then re-dip your fingers in the solution and completely wet the protector.
STEP 3: Apply and align the guard to your device; softly squeegee out any extra water and use a cloth to soak up excess moisture if necessary. ** Important Note: As you squeegee out the water the skin will begin to adhere to the phone and will no longer move freely. If the skin is not aligned correctly and has become too sticky to readjust, remove it and start over. For best results, re-apply coverings as few times as possible. **
** Important Note:** When applying a covering over a rounded surface, you will have to let the over-hanging portion of the protector air dry until proper adhesion can occur. Start by getting the protector correctly positioned on the device. Once the positioning is acceptable, wait while the overhanging edges dry. Impatiently trying to force the edges down prematurely can cause the protector to move out of alignment. Patience is a key factor when covering rounded surfaces. Feel free to set the device down for a few minutes and come back to it later. This entire process could take up to 45 minutes. **
CAUTION: Even though drying is generally sufficient after only 8 hours, as a precaution, allow the device a full 24 hours of dry time before replacing the battery and powering on.
Lots of love

bought 2 for 4.50 total. only sad part is .... " allow the device a full 24 hours of dry time before replacing the battery and powering on." :crying:
Still active as of 12:53am EST...
2 protectors for $4.50 shipped... thanks. I hope they are decent quality!
There is also the code 80OFF3 to use, so you get 3 for the price of 2 discounted ($4.50). Never tried these and seen mixed reviews, but worth a shot for that price!

I wish I had known. I bout 2 at $4.50; with "80OFF3" I could have had 3rd for free. I tried to change my order (an hour later) but it says "[B]NOTE:[/B] This order has already shipped or has reached the final stages of processing. Therefore this order is no longer editable."
Oh well still a GREAT deal. Thanks to the OP for sharing.

$39.99 MSRP use code 'glass' for 25% off ($29.99)
Let me know what you guys think, I am pretty tempted to give it a try... oil and fingerprint resistant.
(after it's in the cart it automatically deducts the 25%)
ordered, will report back with review.
Wow, I wish I would have found this before I ordered my voyager 2, this looks nice. Update us when you get it and install it!

hmm, im interested just because its a dry install!
I use clairvue screen protectors on all my phones, but I'd love to know how the glass ones perform. Really though, what's the advantage if a glass screen protector over the standard ones? I have no issues with the smoothness or the spen on the regular ones.

I ordered the glasszone one because of the color options was the main reason but the glass ones are suppose to be way stronger, no scratches and don't show much fingerprints but really its just personal preference.

I've just ordered one now too as the 25% offer ends tomorrow. Will probably get it end of Feb as it's 10-15 days to ship to UK.
Have yet to receive the screen protector, and based off their website I believe this promo is apart of a pre-order. As soon as I receive it I will let you guys know, and include a review.

I'm not sure it's part of a pre-order because I checked on my order on their website and it's already changed to "shipped". Pretty fast considering I ordered it a few hours ago!
I have received the screen protector, but it might be a couple days before I post a review... just an update though.

My only real question:
Does the sp go all the way to the edges or is there some gap?

Any update on reviews? curious on this product as well.
I bought products from Clarivue for years but this last time I bought screens for the HTC DNA. I ended up selling the DNA while the screens were shipping and instead wanted to get Note 2 screens and was even willing to pay all the shipping etc.., but they also wanted me to pay a restocking fee on the DNA screens....even though they had never even been opened!!! The stupid fee along with all the shipping made it easier/cheaper to just order the Note 2 screens and throw the DNA ones away. Needless to say I will never do business with them again and I'd been loyal since my Nexus One days.
It was like 3 or 5 bucks and for a loyal customer of years they wouldn't waive it for me. I would have bought these glass protectors in a heartbeat if not for this...I almost bought them anyway... but stayed strong in the end.
Anyway I hope you guys enjoy them I'm sure they are nice screens. They make nice products but when I needed good customer service it wasn't there.
Any updates/reviews on this. Post seemed to have just stopped. Interested in getting an idea on how the Clarivue HD is working on for whoever has it. Bought the MIME, but I feel like sensitivity was affected when typing. It didn't register the keys all the time. Contacted MIME and they send to send it back for an exchange or refund. Put one of my extra iSmooth sp's back on and I'm happy for now. Just curious about the Clarivue.

Been using mine for around a week and a half now. Seems fine. I think once or twice I might have hit a key and it didn't register but not sure that was down to the protector. Haven't noticed anything else to be honest. Works perfectly for me

I'm pretty pleased with mine - I didn't realize they included a sealed wet-wipe (supposedly anti-static and anti-dust formulated), so I ended up with dust particles after I wiped the bare surface down with a Microfiber cloth and rubbing alcohol. Since I figured I had nothing to lose - as I had an obscene number of dust particles under the glass, I decided to pry it out again and wash it using liquid hand soap and water.
Basically I ended up applying it like a Zagg protector using 99% Alcohol in a spray bottle as a liquid base to a) reduce dust particles and prevent water spots, b) shift the Clairvue into position. I ended up with a pretty decent job - there is only one tiny dust particle - small enough that it isn't visible unless you pull up a white background. There is no air bubble surrounding it and it only showed up a week after the initial application.
My friends who also purchased the same protector applied it successfully without the issues - as they were forewarned by me about the wipe, so I guess the wipe really does help in the installation.
They also included 4 plastic buttons for the home button - to make it easier to press the button down - it came in White, Black, Blue and Grey. The issue with these buttons is that they seem like they're for the S3 and not the Note. It still works but its definitely not the proper shape of the Note II button.
There may be a small loss of sensitivity (maybe 1%?) - but I'm not 100% certain as really hard to tell if its the app or the phone. S-Pen functions fine. The glass is really, really smooth compared to plastic ones - well worth the extra cost. Also resists oils very well - requires fewer wipe downs compared to the plastic ones.
I would definitely buy again - and I'm only including what I went through to apply it since I failed to install it correctly - yet it is recoverable and not all is lost. The adhesive layer is strong enough for some washing. I probably wouldn't pry it out now though as the adhesive has probably cured a little bit. I don't believe it's supposed to be reusable.
Just a PSA for first time Skinomi users. When I put mine on two days ago, it looked like absolute trash and I almost ripped it off immediately. But I didn't.
Two days later and it looks great. Like magic fairies put a new one on while I was sleeping or something.
So, if you try this product, give it at least 2 days before you pass final judgement. Also, put it on at night, let it sit overnight without a case on. When you put it on, after aligning it well and squee-geeing the excess fluid off, take extra time to rub your finger along the curved edges. This will make them tack down very nicely (even though the rest will look like trash, just give it time).
Premature use of a case will most likely cause the edges to pop up. Waiting until the next morning to slap on your case is a good idea.
To clarify, this is regarding the Skinomi Tech Skin Premium HD Clear.

I tried that but mine was cut too long. It wouldn't line up with my camera/home button no matter how I positioned it. I'm not new to installing the or any screen protector so if wasn't too long I would've kept ir on.

What's the best available non glass screen protector that fits the full screen and can be used with case, and does not have the rubber friction or orange peel effect, but can be delivered quick to the UK?

I've always liked Spigens plastic screen protectors. I had to use them on my Nexus 6 since no TGSP would work with its 2.5D edges. I have one of the Spigen's enroute with a ETA of tomorrow, so I'll let you know how it is.
Edit: It's actually arriving today! I just checked the tracking. I've been reluctant to use my S7E all week because I don't have a screen protector and already managed to get a tiny scratch despite 'babying' my phone.
how did you get early? says in stock March 11, 2016...
Some pics would be nice, wanting to get this too and put glass on top lol
so 1 question once I install skinomi skin what happens when I dip my phone in water or like splash water over it since the phone is water resistant. Does the skin come off ?
i ordered that protector and received it already but i dont have the phone yet...but did you get an email from skinomi saying they werent satisfied with the fit on the phone and changed the design up on the protector and is sending out a replacement protector for free...so i guess im gunna be getting a better fitting replacement from them...

Looks like Skinomi botched the first batch with incorrect sizes and are fixing the issue. They commented on Amazon re the issue to a customer complaining that it didn't fit properly so they probably pulled the stock until its fixed.

I can attest to how botched it was. The cut was for a S6E+ sized device and horrible IMO. They aren't the only company that did this, but at least theyre fixing it.

I pre-ordered it on Feb 25th, got it on the 29th.
I was surprised.

The one I'm using is from the "second batch", fits well.

Splashing water seems fine, I haven't fully submerged it though.

They are also offering free replacements to those who purchased the first version so hit them up!

I already returned it to Amazon, but a replacement just arrived in the mail. I'll probably send it back because they refunded me earlier

I bought a supershieldz before I got the phone just to have something and could get something better. Turns out, I need nothing else. I don't even know I have a protector on it. Love that cheap old thing.

I have the same one and its great! I tried the Spigen (which was okay, but then started to peel) and two wet install ones that were cut oo big. The SuperShieldz is the best one so far!
