Skinomi Carbon Fiber Techskin Review

I've had the Skinomi Techskin Carbon Fiber for about 3-4 weeks now.
You can view the webpage here:
http://www.skinomi.com/sk5455-motorola-droid-3-carbon-fiber-skin-protector.html
I really like it. It took a few days for it to settle in (and by that I mean for the corners to not pick up every little speck of fluff in your pocket) but since then it is amazing. It has a pretty nice texture to it (it's not smooth); it feels like actual woven carbon fiber. It also came with a clear front screen protector, which is just as good as the InvisibleShield minus the orangepeel effect.
Here is an awesome montage of pics, courtesy of my 3DS:

How did the screen protector fit, are the cutouts in all the right spots?

Yep, everything fit perfectly

Great pics. I have the same exact skin sitting in its package on my computer desk at home, but unfortunately I've been sending back every single Droid 3 I've owned due to one problem or another. I'm receiving my 10th replacement tomorrow and hopefully this one won't be a ****ter. I love the texture on this skin and I seriously can't wait to put it on my phone.
Question for you; did you use a blow-drier during any part of installation? I read that it's a good idea to use a blow-drier on the corners when first installing so they don't flip back up.

Nope, never used a blow drier. There was only one part that kept peeling up (the bottom of the screen half of the phone, under the capacitive buttons, on the chrome part). What I did was just held it over my lighter until it stayed down.

Gotcha, good to know. I'm installing mine tonight.

Installed my clear TechSkin a couple of days ago and it's been doing great. I might post a review of it later but your review of the carbon fiber version gave me the thumbs up I needed to go for my leap of faith to get the TechSkin

I'm a big fan of Skinomi Products as well. They are affordable and make a solid protector. I have the screen protector on my XT860 and also used them for my Desire Z. I like that their protectors are 'smooth' and the screen retains the 'glass' feel. Invisible shield was a bit thick and felt unnatural on a touch screen.
Anyone ordering from their website can use this generic promo code for 25% off: skinomi25. I would also recommend searching amazon as many times they are cheaper there.

Yeah, skinomi25 works, I used it. I think that the price averaged around $15 for Amazon which is the same as with the 25% off but you get a lifetime warranty.
I'd say the material is the same "soft" screen protector material but Skinomi's is much better since it doesn't have the orange peel effect on the screen and it's not "sticky" either like Zagg's InvisibleShield.

x2. I've used Skinomi protectors since I got my original Droid a couple years back. Just picked up the kit for my XT862 and everything fit perfect. The surface is much more durable than any of the sub $5 products offer. Worth every penny.

Nexus S Screen Protector?

Hello Gents first post on this awesome forum I use once a day, I have exactly 5.67 in ebay dollars and I am wanting to invest in a screen protector from ebay. I have very little experience with various type of screen protectors and I am trying to find the ideal candidate. I do not want either a mirror or full body skin, I do however like the look of this "matte" and I feel it was a screen protector I had once before but am not sure. I am looking for something very smooth and under 5.67 on ebay! Will look at any reply exceptions made on price but cheap is key.

Most generic screen protectors are the same; they're just clear. The problem with them is that the cut outs are usually a little off if you get a cheap one. SGP probably makes the best ones that I've used but they're expensive.

Always heard good thing about sgp.I think they are about 10dollars on ebay.
In the past I've used momax (shop.momax.net) and liked it (but it was on non touch devices), but I don't know if they are available on ebay.

sgp make great screen protectors but theirs do not cover all of the phone and leave a gap from the bezel to the screen you can try other companys such as clearivue or skinomi

Guess there are many on ebay, and I guess momax have one too.

i`m just curious, what for do you need screen protector? i didnt use none since ive bought NS and there is not even one scratch.

This won't really help your budget, But here's my 2 cents
I just bought a zagg invisible shield screen protector the other day. I got the full body, back and screen protector. I have yet to apply the back cover, but im actually very impressed with the product so far. I got it at best buy, and paid 5$ for the girl there to apply it.

I treat my phone well but damn I have to buy a screen protector now because my screen somehow feels grainy as hell almost like my fingerprints actually scratched the screen really annoying this phone is quite new as well I ordered the clarvious one or however its spelled hopefully fixes this problem

Do you know ZAGG invisible shield? I think it is one of the best screen protector for our nexus s

U can tried idefence screen protector. Since it cover all your phone body to ensure maximum protection. It also much cheaper than zagg..

I got a matte screen protector free with a case I bought. I have never liked screen protectors before because of the air bubbles being such and issue and the extra glare on the screen. When I got my Nexus S I really wanted to protect it so I put the matte screen protector on it and it fit really well. I think it makes the screen oddly blurry at some angles but for me I really like the matte effect and prefer it to glossy screen protectors I tried on other phones and the matte is easier to read in the sunlight over the glossy ones..

I had ZAGG invisible shield on mine since I bought it (about a year ago) and it worked like a charm. However, I took it off about a week ago because of a post I saw about how it makes the screen less vibrant. Having the invisible shield on it really reduced how clear and vibrant the screen was. Now that i took it off, it looks like a totally new phone

Look at what the mailman brought to me today. I may have waited for some time to get this but it's still worth it for only USD7. It's now installed and ready for use again. I can finally let go of my capdase case and screen protector. A good alternative to Zagg. I got one before for my I9003 but it totally sucked! This one's way better.

I use Realook on my vibrant and love it..
However, the review on Amazon about Realook on NS is not that good..
So I am wondering which one I should use..
PS. I want clear one, but not the ZAGG orange peel feelings...

I've been using Best Skins Ever for awhile for most of my stuff and it does the job, but if you have the money, Skinomi is a very nice product.

ANSWERED..Which SPG screen protector to order?

Yes the ultra crystal works great with the s-pen . (Mine came yesterday)

I just ordered ultra Crystal should be here soon.
Regurgitated From My Giant Note II

I got the Oleophobic after a lot of reading of reviews, and am very happy with it. I like to have a protector that I don't know is there, because the screen is so beautiful. I didn't think the anti-fingerprint thing was important, but it sure is nice. The S pen works fine and I don't have to worry about whether or not, over time, it will mark the glass. I thought it was kind of expensive, but I'm glad I got it, and the price is for 2.

Just put the ultra crystal on this morning and it's perfect! I have the seidio surface combo coming tomorrow so that should do until otterbox decides to release the defender.

I went Ultra Crystal and you don't even notice it on there.

Can someone please post pictures of the Ultra Clear and the Oleophobic on the actual Note 2? I am trying to decide which to get but SGP is a bit on the pricey side but I need a good one. Please help out guys

No one tried the Ultra Fine?!?! Anyways I'll report my comment once reception.

From reading through multiple threads and forums (aside from XDA)
My understanding is this:
Ultra Crysal: Thicker (better against scratches), more fingerprints.
Ultra Oleophobic: Thinner (not as good against scratches), easier to remove fingerprints
I ordered the crystal with my Amazon Prime and I should get it when my phone comes in from my pre-order (weather permitting).

I've bought three Spigen covers three different times from Amazon and received a legitimate product each time. SGP sells their products directly through Amazon.
I actually just received my Ultra Crystal covers today for my Note 2. It is very, very clear like the Ultra Nano I had for my GS3, but it is a little bit thicker. It does show a lot of fingerprints but I've conceded that this is just to be expected with these types of screen protectors. The S Pen works without any issues as well.

Thanks for the input guys...Need to find a good case now

My Ultra Fine has an awful rainbowy effect, I'm extremely disappointed with it and will probably get an ultra crystal or oleophobic instead.

A quick google and I found there is compatible issue w/ s-pen so I ordered crystal instead via amazon. Got it last night and another confirmation that the crystal work ok with the note2 and s-pen.
The protector is slightly smaller than the glass but larger than the screen. the screen no longer get finger printed easily but your finger won't glide as smooth as non-protected screen and so is the s-pen. This may matter if you do art work on the GN2, so that goes a fair warning.

Got the oleophobic and am very happy with it. Good thing there were 2 because I messed up the installation on the 1st one.

No reason to take a photo of the Ultra Crystal. It probably wouldn't show up with out special lenses on an expensive camera. it's more or less invisible to the naked eye and run of the mill camera. Just look at your phone now. That's what it will look like after you put it on (assuming you do it correctly). If you want to see it after application, just to verify it hasn't fallen off without you noticing, you can look real closely and see its border at the outside edge of the top and bottom bezels and around the home button. In practice you will forget all about it and for all practical purposes it is invisible. You may feel a tiny bit more drag with the S-pen when you first put it on or after cleaning with alcohol but once you get a little finger oil on it it's just like glass. Trust me, applied correctly you won't know it's there until it performs its primary purpose and takes the damage that would have scratched your screen. A second screen is included in the package for that inevitable eventuality.

Galaxy Note 2 - Wrapsol Review

Hey guys,
I've had my Mac protected with Wrapsol since i bought it in august. Had the film replaced once under warranty when i was replacing my hard drive. It's a great product, great warranty, and great customer service.
So on black Friday i Purchased my Note 2 as well as a Wrapsol for it. The second i tok the Note 2 ot of the box, i installed the wrapsol. Overall its great. I love it. I usually hate screen protectors. (Hate Zagg for yellowing and grip-ness, hate military shield for marks that are left with your nails, and hated the Moshi antiglare. All were on my S3).
This one i truly love. It was my second experience every with their "Dry application". (the mac is a wet application). Had zero bubbles in the front. Had 3 bubbles in the back that went away after a few hours. everything is protected. Your nails don't leave marks in it. and the film doesn't yellow over time. No marks left in it by the S-pen. No rainbow effect. Also IMO, Smooth as glass, not like the zagg shield. Also, no texture to it and no orange peel. They give you a life-time warranty. Even if you peeled it off yourself cause you installed it incorrectly.
The only thing i didn't like about it were the side protectors. They're a PITA to install, and the edges on them are annoying. so i took them off.
and best of all the film didn't lift when i installed my new Speck candyshell case. (awesome case, but gets scratched way to easily. )
Here are pictures:

Currently have Spigen Ultra-Oleophobic installed. I'm actually quite happy with it because my installation was good, and it is resisting fingerprints very well. But your review of Wrapsol had me want to try it. It seems that Wrapsol is much thicker and would provide better protection for the Note 2's large screen. The Ultra-Oleophonic does scratch a bit with the S-Pen, but it seems that I can wipe the scratches away.
Anyway, what do you think? Would you recommend a switch to Wrapsol? :laugh:

Completely agreed. Sp oleophonic does scratch a bit, not horrible but its there. I'm super careful where I put my phone, always in my front pocket by itself.
Please update this thread whether it produces scratches or not later.

Skinomi makes great products, and if something isn't right they take care of it immediately.
It's the only brand I use now, and it comes with all of the cleaning supplies. It's a bit messy looking (wet install), but within 3 days it will be the best screen protector installation you can imagine. Clear, fits perfectly every time, and no dust issues.
Anyways, I'm done with the old dry adhesive protectors. They aren't worth the free shipping they come with.

I always have a screen protector on my Android phones, and the phones of everyone in my family. But, I've got a slim leather case for my N7 so I am not convinced I need a screen protector. If you have a case, you might consider foregoing the protector.
Besides, I've used just about every popular protector on the market on my phones, and have even purhcased the 3M film from bulk that most companies use, to make my own protectors. Given all that, I've yet to find a protector that does not compromise the display, or the touch, in some way. Bare glass is best for me.

does anyone know if Best Buy or local electronics stores (Los Angeles Area) sell screen protectors that fit the Nexus 7? Possibly screen protectors for the Kindle Fire HD (same 7" screen) work on the Nexus 7?
dont know if this comparison chart will help but I am going overseas on Monday and need a screen protector asap!

No, it doesn't. It's merely mentioned as "scratch resistant" glass, but does not specifically say Gorilla Glass at all. There has been a lot of talk about this when it first came out, and I believe it was confirmed to not be Gorilla Glass. This is one product I would prefer to put a screen protector on it for that reason.

Bummer.
I use a case with a screen cover, but still have a screen protector on there. Guess I'll keep it on there.

It is not named gorilla glass, but I can tell you it is rated with the same quality (quoted from Google support), even with that said I still rock a zagg shield on mine
