Hey guys I just recently put on a skinomi full body protector and it looks like the s pen leaves imprints of what I write.... anyone else having an issue like this?
is the skinomi any good? is it clear and not rubbery? :/
I never use the screen protector that come with the full body protection from skinomi. It's very soft and leave marks with the pen....I would suggest you take it off and use a sgp instead...very scratch resistant....

Hmm maybe I will except I thoughg the skinomi was supposed to be really strong? Does the sgp not get marks from the s pen

Any of those types of protectors (Zagg/BodyGuardz/BestSkinsEver/GhostArmor/PhantomSkinz) will leave impressions. The ones you apply without liquid like Spigen are harder and will not leave impressions.
Ah ok wish I knew that... why are these so soft? Does the spygen provide better protection? Wonder why they dont say the s pen will leave impressions if they are going to sell it for the note 2...

Won't hurt to ask Amazon or Skinomi. Skinomi has a 30-day money back guarantee on their site so maybe they will stand by their product even if purchased on Amazon, who knows. Get a credit or at least something for it.

Sounds like it was purchased through Amazon but from Skinomi. The return process is different for items not processed by Amazon directly. 3rd party returns like this one go through the vendor. Easy way to tell is by the shipping, if it is Free Amazon Prime/Free Shipping > 25 dollars it is being processed by Amazon.

EXOTEK Premium Slim-Fit Folio Cover Case With Multi-Angle Stand For Google Nexus 7 Tablet (With Automatic Sleep/Wake Function) (Black)
Okay, this could be an awesome case. This is a pre-order, and for $8.99 with free shipping, it's a steal.

Very nice. I recommend this, for the price.

From what I had read, this is a pre-order, so they probably haven't taken a picture with the Nexus 7 yet.
I have attempted to make contact with the maker to see if I can get a more recent photo with the N7 instead of the Kindle Fire.
They have not responded yet.
Please keep us posted

Rev, please keep us posted. Looks like a good non-bulky case.
They keep changing the price... I pre-ordered that exact case when it was $4.99+ free shipping and expected to ship on August 3rd. The other day it was $8.99 and $5 shipping, and now it's $6.95+ $5 shipping and not expected to ship until August 15th! I might have to cancel the order though, I can't wait that long to get a case.
Just got an email saying that it shipped. If anyone here is interested, I can do a quick review when it arrives...

Definitely an easy pass. Case isn't worth $20 itself, needless to say another $10 to ship it. What a joke Google...
Not to hijack the thread. Just a question for everyone. It has probably been discussed elsewhere but you all seem interested on the topic. I know people have discussed if Google was in violation of crapple's patent for the smart cover. Do you ever wonder if Google decided to launch the device without a smart cover in order to not draw attention to it to avoid a lawsuit knowing others would make accessories utilizing it? They could claim it was for a dock or something.
I know this is a stretch, but how else do you explain such a pointless accessory? Also I know the Apple patent was very specific to the actual smart cover and that Google will be fine.

I dont want it to stand up. I know its not a smart cover.
I want a thin case with a cover for the screen.
Seems like it should work for me.
Also I currently have a leather case that is smart and fits perfectly in.... but I want it thinner.... And I can't get the "looks like a 15 year old nokia case" out of my head.:laugh:
The rubber rounds the edges and raises the screen. Good enough for setting it down and providing some defense from casual tumbles from the bed or couch. I don't want a smart cover, I use a password every time and the button is right there. Why do people always find stuff to complain about, instead of ways to enjoy what you just bought. There will always be something better, find what works for you.

Brand new Portenzo Hardback case. This was just released and is currently on sale for 2 days only @ $19.95! Watch the video for a demo of the super stick grip tape.

It does, but the Dodo is way more expensive and only available in 4 colors. Portenzo has a better reputation, less expensive and way more colors to chose from. Looks like I am buying another Portenzo today!

Was liking it until I saw the adhesive approach to securing the device. Like everything else about it - moleskine type design, quality materials.
Anyone have any experience with the sticky pads?
Do they leave any residue if you remove your device?
I'm assuming they are a one time use as well?

If it's anything like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008A1XN28/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
Then the "sticky" is extremely sticky!
Enough so that when I tried to remove the N7, the back cover came off the tablet!
I don't mean that in some awful "it broke!" way...it's just that the adhesive is stronger than the tablet's back cover retainers.
So if you were scared to pry open your N7 with a screwdriver...this is an alternate way to open it.
But if you're careful and go slow, the tablet comes off and there is no residue.
The adhesive can be wiped down with water and when it dries, it's good to go!
I tested the case on my N7, then put my Galaxy Tab 2 7" in it, then back to the N7.
Since the Portenzo costs more than twice as much...I'd hope their adhesive is just as good if not better to work with than the $9 case!
Ordered mine yesterday in firetruck red! Pretty excited about this. I was looking for something classy but with thin profile so Bookcase came close but this hardbook was a better fit for my needs.
Does anyone now how long it takes for them to ship? Happy Friday all
I wonder how the quality compares to the dodocase.

I have the casemate tuxedo for the kindle fire using the sticky pad. It's re-usable and does not leave a residue. I sent my first kindle back and got a replacement from Amazon, no issues re-applying the pad on the replacement, just as sticky as the first time.
cant make it stand though, so a big nono for me
was going to wait till i got home to order but byt he time i did the price was back up to 39.99 :crying:
Looks like a good alternative to the Dodocase! I managed to place an order before the sale ended too. At $19.99, it was too good of a deal to pass up.
I just ordered mine (yes I know I said it looks like the Dodo but I couldn't help myself). And it was still 19.99 only I ordered the composition which added 9.99.

Just file a warranty claim and sell the new one. I popped the screen protector out of my Defender got tired of not having it and emailed saying it fell out.

No. Serious answer.
If you do attempt to put it back on, you can glue it. If you really wanted it back on you can glue it. But forcing it out may bend / distort the screen protector. It's no good anyway.

so that case, why not just get something like UAG + screen protector combo, seems to be a much better option since you can access the battery and SD card slot a lot easier.

A read in this forum, and actually in Amazon reviews for Defender, people use a hair dryer to soften the glue and remove it easily.
Regarding the whole thing with Otterbox and customer support, I had original Defender for a few days purchased from Verizon store. After quickly realizing the shortfall with that built-in screen protector, I contacted Otterbox directly and was explained that problems get resolved easily by them sending me email with claim number and me providing them back 3 pictures with a problem and/or additional small video clip (to show flex of screen protector). They told me that once you send the claim in, a replacement will be shipped to you and YOU have to send back the original case. My point, if you are not happy with a Defender, just return it back if you can rather than taking screen off and than gluing it back together which going to void warranty. In my case, I went back to Verizon store, tried 3 more Defender in there - all with the same issue, and just returned it back.
Regarding moral issues, so how about that "almost real" thread? I think I mentioned it in there a few times as a disclaimer that these come very handy when you want to modify Defender for extended battery and don't want to butcher your $60 case.

screen protector really does work. when it looks like smudges, air bubbles, or blemishes within a 48 - 72 hours they do all go away.
there was what looked like dust smudges which bummed me out but 2 days later ...completely gone.

i used the Spen and it leaves track marks. a few have disappeared but the more pressure you you put on the screen the deeper the marks look ... ill report back to see if they went away

Bought some when they were 90%. Got a bad batch and contacted customer service. They immediately sent replacements. It's still curing but I'm liking the look thus far. I bought the full body protection. I like how the back has a better grip now.
If anyone has a new discount code for these, please pass it on. Would love to try them out. Thanks.
Just got mine today, shipped to Sweden in about a week.
Bought 1 regular and one "HD" (dry install). Payed all together $2 (!!!) with shipping to Sweden.
Just applied the dry HD one, looks all right, but doesn't reach all the way out to the edges, missing 1,5-2 mm.
Got 2-3 dust particles stuck when applying, and all of them creates a small air pocket around it, that I hope will go away.
Gonna let it stay on for a while, and see how it works out.
