Anybody have on on their Nexus S 4G? If so how has it held up? I have the Skinomi full body on my SGSII and it has a very distinct orange peel look to it and gets damaged by my fingernails or any hits it takes...
I figure for $8 it can't be that bad..
I have it and I love mine. Pretty much every skin of this type has orange peel but I think this has less than zagg.

Hmm.. good to know. I like the Skinomi one but for $15 i decided against it. I like the body cover but not the screen on the skinomi.

I'm about to post a review on a case which has some pictures so you might be able to see the orange peel, but my camera is bad..
I've had BSE for about 9 months and I love it. It's protected the phone very well from the couple times I've dropped it on a marble floor, so I think the shock protection is worth the minimal cost alone. Orange peel effect is minimal as well compared to Zagg and Ghost Armor. I'm about to order another full body skin, because a couple corners are finally starting to come up. Highly recommend.

Thanks, I like my Skinomi one on my SGSII but the screen protector is 7/10. I ordered two of the BSE and it looks like everyone likes theirs.

I've tried many of the wet application ones, and the BSE has the least orange peel.. Frankly, I'm looking now and I don't see any..

Thought I'd post an update here. I actually dropped my phone on pavement from about 4 feet today. Fortunately the BSE did its job and the device came out without a scratch. Just the protector was scuffed a bit in two corners and started coming up a bit. Thankfully, I ordered a full replacement a few days ago. Definitely happy with the protection offered by this product.

I got mine 2 weeks ago and I absolutely love them. It is way better than the Skinomi. I can barely tell that the back has a skin on it.
I have been using BSE for years. I tried skinomi on my NS just to try something else.... took it off a week later for a new BSE.
I have 8 android phones and two tablets covered in BSE... love it.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I use BSE for all my android devices. Love it.
with BSE, I also agree it has the least orange peel affect, but I believe it's one of the thinner screen protectors. once something gets dented into it (like keys), it stays there forever from my experience. I currently have zagg and even when something dents it, it'll "heal" itself after awhile.
for 8 bucks though, BSE is definitely best bang for the buck. I use zagg for the screen (I got it discounted) and BSE for the rest of the body
I had the Zagg HD on my phone for the last 4 days and at first I was quite happy with it. The fit was outstanding...it went right to the edge and had no peeling. The feel was slightly tacky, but it was clear and offered protection so I was happy. Over the last day or so I started noticing lines or imprints in the protector from the s pen. I'm highly impatient and I had the xtremeguard sitting on standby, so off with the zagg and on with the $3 xtremeguard.
I used the hot shower/spray bottle install method and the xtremeguard went on perfectly (as did the zagg)...no bubbles, no dust whatsoever. The fit is every bit as good as the Zagg...screen coverage could not be any better. The xtremeguard is smoother than the zagg, but still a little tacky. I expect that will get better over the next couple days as did the zagg. I have had the xtremeguard on the back if my phone for a week and tested the s pen on that to see if it left any marks like it did on the zagg, and it did not...that's why I went ahead and chose to put it on the screen too. It does not have a cutout for the sensors at the top of the phone, but it doesn't appear to effect anything, so that's better as far as I'm concerned. Screen clarity is every bit if not a little better with the xg over the zagg.
Overall, I would say if you are patient then save $23 and get the front AND back from xg for $3.99 including shipping instead of just front from zagg for $25 from best buy. Great product, great price! I just ordered another set for backup just in case.

The Zagg, both regular, and HD, both show where the S-Pen has been used. I would honestly rate it at Complete Garbage for use with the Note 2. Most, if not all, wet application screen protectors fit this description.
SGP Ultra Crystal = complete opposite.
My recommendation is always: a case (even the thin ones, especially if you're considering these skins, you aren't looking for drop protection) + a screen protector. Those cheap ones from eBay are VERY good! I get 6 of them for a dollar shipped, (maybe a little more?), and if they EVER get scratched I change it out for another, and if I install it incorrectly, toss it away and whip out a new one! They're uber smooth and cheap cheap cheap! I HATE wet installations on my phone. 700 dollar phone + water + soap? No thanks! Regardless of how much you use. I've used Zagg a million times way before when it was Invisible Shield and it was always the same problems:
peeling off after a few days on the sides (the part that I really needed protecting because that's the part that scrapes against my jeans coming in and going out), with the Note 1 I had it also and it almost broke the tip of my spen ... sucks.
I love cases, because I feel like I'm dressing up my phone. And I love the screen, give it some good protection with 99 cent 6 packs of screen protectors! No fuss. No issues. No reason not to use them .
Xtreme guard doesn't protect the chrome bit does it. Still good price though. Thanks, definitely give it a go.
Where did you find it from? Only see on eBay. Thanks!

I had xtremguard on my Ipad for over a year now, still looks good. That's why I decided to go with them again for my Note 2. I just installed it on my Note 2 today. Fitment looks good. I don't know about marks from the S pen. I bought them on Ebay for $4 then got another set during Cyber Monday for $2.
Damn! How hard are you guys pushing when you use the pen? I have had the HD screen protector on my phone for the past week, and have no lines whatsoever.

Xtremeguard is better quality than zagg hd. I got 2 screen protectors and full body protector from xtremeguard for $3.50. I would have paid $25+ for a zagg hd screen protector only. Not to mention that zagg products turn yellow after days of use. This happened and it was very noticeable on my white Galaxy S3.

Yea, I ended up taking my Zagg back to Best Buy today and getting my money back. It wasn't easy, but after talking with the store manager, they decided it was the right thing to do.

I think it's important to have good customer services. A happy client is a revolver. Especially nowadays when you can buy the products from almost anywhere, offering something that differentiates your company from others is key to get revolvers. Amazon Spain is fantastic. I buy almost everything I can from them because they have excellent customer service and return policies. Not to mention it's sometimes cheaper than anywhere else online!

I have a HD Zagg Invisible Shield installed on my Note 2. Not happy with all the marks made by the S-Pen. Does anyone have a normal or smudge-proof shield installed on their Note 2? Does the S-Pen mark up the shield? Thanks.
I'm using these from amazon. No problems. Plus lifetime warranty.

I'm using those too. tech Armour. they suck. the application is easy, but I already scratched a hole in it so it's easily damaged, which means it's barely protecting your screen.
I've been looking at getting just like glass.

I have enjoyed the one sold by sprint worth no spen marks. They have a lifetime warranty too, with free installs

From what I've read, I've seen happy results with Spigen or Just Like Glass. I believe JLG claims better protection, but Spigen has a little better coverage. I have the "pink" Spigen one and am very happy. Install went perfect, lined up well and if you're super careful with dust, a dry install is fine. It's also a 2-pack so you can replace it when it gets marked up.

I'm jumping on this "Zagg is crap" train. SPen smuggling everywhere after only a week. While Corning is smooth under the fingers, Zagg is slightly less rougher than sandpaper while attempting a scroll. Way overpriced. And buddies, if you ain't a master at applying, you definitely just wasted $25! My advice: pass up the Zagg aisle.
I have Just Like Glass. It's been 10 days, and there are still three bubbles of solution under it. They are shrinking steadily day by day, but it can take two weeks to clear up. Application was easy. Surface is slick and hard. Gonna be cool once the bubbles FINALLY evaporate.

I have a Skinomi Techskin on mine. I got it for 50% off (Came out to $10 with free shipping.) When my package came in there was an offer to redeem a free Skinomi screen protector. Pretty awesome if you ask me. The one thing I am worried about it cases. I don't want to get a case that will peel the edges up or anything. :/

My son just got his N2 and all they had at Best buy was the Zagg. He got it for some peace of mind until I could see him last weekend. I had an SGP oleophobic ready to go . I took a good look at the Zagg before removing it and it looked like the crazing you seen on old pottery. Horrible. I put on the SGP and he was like ”wow! Look at how beautiful my screen is!”

Best Buy has a "New & Improved - Smudge Free" zagg invisible shield. Along with the High Definition version. The Smudge free doesn't feel rubbery like the original Invisible Shield, and has a stronger texture than the HD version. I would still prefer the HD version because for some reason the smudge free one feels very similar to the Anti Glare 2$ protectors from Amazon/eBay
What about Ghost Armour? Is it any good?

Yes. I had it for nearly a year and a half on my Motorola Photon and it worked quite well. I used a microfiber cloth from time to time to clean it. Other than that it was pretty much forget it's there.

Hi folks,
At first i thougt there is no need to use a screen protector on a watch, but after two weeks of light usage there are a lot of (minor) scratches on the display. I bought some cheap protector films at ebay but no one was fitting. The gear display is a bit deeper at the edges so the protector doesn't stay very long where it should...
Are you using any kind of screen protector and could you recomend any one?

Ive got an xtremeguard on mine. Looks great and is pretty durable. I use them on any screen that doesn't have a stylus. Always fits great and if u order when theres a sale they're mad cheap. They might still have the 90% off 2 SP. The code was 90OFF2, should still work, bought 2 last night for $1.40 including shipping. Cant beat that. Only wish they made one for the clasp!

Thinking about going naked. Haven't found a case that keeps it slim. All cases I've tried add too much bulk.
Mine fell out of my shirt pocket on Christmas day and cracked the screen. It was $125 for a new one overnighted from CA. I had ordered a case but it hadn't arrived yet. The screen didn't come with the middle housing so you can see where it hit the ground on the plastic. I'll worry about that when its time to get rid of the phone.

I'm keeping screen naked. Definitely not case. Rather have a tiny bulk than 3 foot drop shatter/crack. Slim/feather doesn't even protect much. I wound up sticking with Verizon TPU/OG Incepio. Better for me my phone travels through some rough times, personal and work lol.
No way, if i didnt had a case mine would be dead right now. It felt From my ear/shoulder position when i was talking and opening my car.

Mine broke completly after falling from about 30 cm, I'm buing case for sure
This phone is too slippery without a case I'm not taking any chances with it. I have the Spigen Slim armor case with Zagg HD screen protector and it looks beautiful and feels great. I ran my G Pro naked but at least that phone was easier to grip since it was larger. To those running no screen protection good luck. It's only a matter of time before it's scratched and scuffed and ugly. The glass screen protector on my G Pro was scratched to hell after just a few weeks in my pocket and I don't stuff anything in the same pocket as my phone except for maybe paper cash or receipts. I babied that phone. My keys never shared the same pocket. I've never seen any screen stand up to regular use after a while without any sort of protection.
I'm using an xtremeguard skin and screen protector. That helps with the slippery back. Not that helpful with actual impacts, but fine for scratches and things.
Side note: use code: 90off2 for 90% off 2 or more items right now (unknown expiration). Two sets of L2 G2 skins and screen protectors comes out to $2.20 after shipping right now.
One month in naked screen. I try and be careful. Not saying it won't happen, but so far so good. I have yet to find olive I like and won't lift with TPU or bubble at edge. :/
I ordered a wallet case for my G2, but have been rocking he naked look for a month now. No complaints here, but there are moments when I need a case (at the club)

Not much added bulk and the grip is the best.

Screen seems very weak on this phone already scratched 2 of them. On my third already. No idea how first happened, had the window case on and got one dead center of the screen. Next one was from just flipping the phone over to snooze alarm on my nightstand. Keep trying screen protectors but hate the feel of them and like how this phone feels naked. Prolly gonna have to force myself to keep a screen protector on at least this time and prolly the case.

Using a Fosmon I got off ebay for 3.95. I hated the way this phone felt without a case.
I'm using the Nillkin Dolextech, and while it does not add much bulk, it will protect it from scratches and dents if it lands on a corner or back.
It also has a Nexus 5'ish feel, with a pattern on the back for better grip. It also comes with a screen protector, which while not being the best quality, is fine for protection against scratches.

Dropped the phone once without the but no damage. I usually make sure I have a sturdy grip on the phone. Also I don't let my phone go without knowing for sure I'm actually putting it in my pocket.... Lol.

Had the phone for well over a month now. No case or screen protector. Phone lives in my pocket whilst I'm at work (I work with fibreglass, resins, cardboard packing and general lifting), comes to the pub, friend's houses for drinks and shenanigans. So far so good. Still looks new.
