Has anyone tried any of these products? It looks like there's a screen protector only for $5.99 and a Full Body skin for $12.99, but I think the pictures are attached to the wrong listing.

Idk. Just curious if any of you have tried any of these products.
Don't go for the full body, it's not worth it, it won't save your phone from drops.
Scratches might not be a concern, but drops will still damage your phone.
Better get a nice silicone case.
I'm interested in preventing stains and scratches. I'd like to put a full body guard on and then put it in a nice case. Same as I've done with most of my other devices. But I'd like to venture beyond Zagg.

Has anyone got the full body shield for your X1? Just I think the X1 is quite a stretchable phone compares to many others I have used, so am thinking of buying a full body shield, good idea? What do you used to protect your X1?
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
Here is the link
PS I have of course got a screen protector already.
One of the things that distingiush the X1 from other smartphones is beautiful, original design combined with a solid, lasting structure - at least that's what I've experienced so far . So putting it in some kind of bodyshield would be kinda like hiding a piece of art in a safe just cause it's valuable - it misses the point completely.
That's just my opinion though.
EDIT: I just use a screen protection myself, but different from Invisible Shield - it's made of polycarbonate and honestly it workes great for me.
a sock
no screen protction
i use a sock too
i got a body protector from ebay that never scratches or peels it cost me $20 but it was worth it
I'm thinking of those plastic/rubbery shields with designs for additional protection. and it will hide those unslightly marks. Do you think its worth it? anyone tried it? Saw a store offering it for $35-40, they'll be the one to fit it in
I tried a variety of 2-piece protectors, hard plastic, silicone, thicker flexible plastic... I wouldn't bother. The silicone ones would come apart as the phone came out of the pocket, the hard plastic felt ugly (& didn't protect much - if the phone fell, the pieces would pop off with the impact)
So, don't go there... use a clear screen protector, NOT a Zagg-style one, though the Zagg body is a good idea. With hindsight, I would have used a body shield like that.
There are cheaper alternatives to Zagg, but check build quality first
$24.99 for a slip of thin 'plastic'?? (or whatever material its made out of)
...Wow. I think a more suitable and affordable price for a screen protector would be ~ $15.00. But quite interesting to see this
Unfortunately, I did not protect my X1 as I should have. Ordered a genuine leather pouch, but no screen protector. Ordered a black housing, but I really dont trust myself opening it. Opening a cell phone compared to a PSP to change the housing is quite different..
I got one of those cheap "netbook protectors" ($2) from a local store. Cut it out to shape for the battery cover which is pretty much what is scratch prone for my phone. By the way, my phone is originally black but it the paint is scratched I decided to remove all of them. I used a dish scouring pad (the plastic one NOT steel wool or something) to slowly scrape off the paint without removing the XPERIA print Now it's gunmetal colored + glossy because of the transparent "skin".
Xperia protection
I've tried em all. True. Those two piece units, whether silicon or plastic make the phone too bulky and don't stay on worth a damn. I switched to adhesive skins to protect the casing from scratches to increase resale value. It is pretty much always in a leather pouch or in a holder on my dashboard when using as GPS. (Also good protection: a large rottweiler.)
Where to buy an X1 Screen Protector? I don't see it in Phone Stores too bad.

you should be able to get one in any mobile accessory shop. however, if you are worried if the sensitivity of your touch screen will be affected, head down to a sony ericsson dealer and they should be able to hook you up with a decent one.
in fairness, 2 years with the phone, ive never used a screen protector, and used daily...and i dont hv a scratch on my screen, despite hundreds of drops on everything from tarred roads to timber floor. however a couple dollars wouldnt hurt ur pocket if u wanna get one.
i use the invisible shield the first post shows =) best i think
The Nexus S is very slippery, and gets a lot of fingerprints and scratches, at least on the battery cover. This is the reason that I want to buy a case, or a full body protector.
A case has as an advantage that it will protect your device from falling damage, but that isn't the reason I want one, so maybe it would be better to buy a full body protector! Since every full body protector protects against scratches and fingerprints, the only important thing is the grip.
I have a couple of questions about those full body protectors:
- Can you buy a full body protector without a screen protector? 'Cause I don't need one.
- Like I said, I want to have more grip. Does this mean it has to be an orange peel one? The orange peel only affects the looks and the feel, and since I'm not going to use a screen protector, it doesn't matter that much. But if there is a full body protector with a lot of grip AND without orange peel, it would be nice.
- In my case, what would you recommend? A full body protector, or a case? If I'm going to buy a case, it will definitely be the "S" curved gel case, because IMO it's the only case that doesn't mess with the looks of the Nexus S.
Thanks in advance!
there are several topics in this accessories section already commenting on many models, just read through them
I have the S shaped TPU case on my phone right now. I was a bit absent minded and bought the clear one by mistake. It doesn't look nearly as nice as the black.
I have had it on for a week now, and I can say that it makes the phone feel cheap (i don't think it feels cheap naked) The buttons are also harder to press and it is very hard to find them by touch. To remedy this I bought the Tech21 d3o pouch from someone here. Will see how it is when it arrives.

I don't think there is a topic about wheter you can buy a body protector without a screen protector or not... I'm not asking for a good full body protector, I am asking questions about full body protectors...
I got stealth shieldz from ebay just for the back protector. It protects most of the back if you can put it on correctly. The corners are a bit difficult and you might need to use a hair dryer and stretch it a little bit to get most of the back. There is no protection for the front bezel or anything.
I got 2 full body protectors for about $5. It was one of those "make an offer" listing. It's a wet application protector. I mainly bought it for back protection, I don't like the screen protector because waiting for the micro bubbles to disappear bothers me.
To answer your question, yes you can buy the full body without the front. But you'll probably need the front as well to avoid any micro scratches from occurring on the screen. Visit ghost armor or zagg or bestskinsever for the protection. The pricing of the individual pieces usually entice you to purchase the full kit.
Zagg tends to have a lot of orange Peel. No experience with BSE. I personally have ghost armor. There is a thread with pics if you search.

Thanks, but like I said, I don't need a screen protector. It is glass after all, and I don't want to mess with the touch responsiveness and colours of my display. Besides, it would be a shame that I won't be able to use the coating anymore...
I think I am just going to buy Ghost Armor or Best Skin Ever, and just throw the screen protector away or something...
Hi everyone so my nexus came in today I'm scared to use it. I need protection for it. Before I purchased nexus s I already had bought 2 cases one is case mate pop and other is incipio. Is any of these cases good for protection or should I buy new one like different brands? And also case mate came with screen protector should i use that or buy invisible shield or ghost Armor? Please help me im so paranoid but wana use my phone asap. Havnt even turned it on yet.
Thanks
From what I've heard the pop case offers very good protection, and theres alot of debate as far as screen protectors go I personally have one, also if your in nyc and for any reason want to get rid of your incipio feather ill take it from you (only if it's black, blue or red)
I'd suggest putting on the full-body skin on the battery cover and use any case you feel like it. The part that got scratches most is the back plastic cover (and yes the "case" itself can create some scratches too)
For the front, it's up to your taste -- you may like it naked or wanna put some screen protector on it.
If you really want absolute protection, get a full body armor and wrap a case around it. The reason is because although cases protect from drops, they often cause unpleasant scuffs or scratches on the bezel as well as the back of the phone because dust/debris gets in. Getting a full body armor will protect against that, and having the case will prevent from drops as well. For the full body armor, I would recommend either Ghost armor or BSE, but not invisible shield. Invisible shield has a lot more orange peel texture than the other two mentioned. For the case itself, it seems that all of them have pretty good reviews here (both hard and soft cases), it all boils down to personal preference. I would definitely put on the screen protector that you have for now. If later down the road you feel like you're comfortable with your phone and that you don't need it, then you can take it off. Please turn on your phone. Congrats.
Do you have the ghost Armor? I'm going to thier booth this morning. I went to invisible shield the girl there did the worst job putting my screen protector.

I have ghost armor. Good quality, perfect fit, less orange peel texture, and they have lifetime exchange. If there's a booth in your location you could do a direct swap without sending it in.

Disregard this post
I've been using stealth shields on mine. Got a set on ebay for around $4 with free shipping. They are tough but a little sticky when using the screen.

Purchased this case, just got it today (2 weeks shipping to me).
I am not affiliated with the seller in any way, this is simply me documenting my experience with the case so far.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/IMAK-D802-2...DA_Cases&var=570205273984&hash=item3f2b1f8de1
I was looking for something light, cheap, snug fitting, and stylish, this case definitely fits the bill.
Lets start with the Negatives:
- the case is clear polycarbonate and is VERY prone to scratching in its current state (in my case I plan on giving it a frosted finish anyway so this doesn't really apply to my case)
- the corners of the phone are still partially exposed with this style of case in the event of drops (again I don't plan on dropping the phone )
Now The Pluses:
- Sturdy, the polycarbonate does not feel fragile or brittle at all and has some flex
- It feels a bit grippier in the hand than the stock back does
- the case edges are raised by 0.5 mm when you lay your phone face down so the screen doesn't touch the surface.
- Cheap under $6 gets the job done for me
- Light, feels alot lighter/more agile in the hand compared to the rubber case I had on it before (doesn't feel like I actually have a case on the phone now).
- Very snug fit; there is no way it is coming off the phone, you have to pry it off.

How do you feel this would compare to some of the more expensive cases in the market (incipio dual pro, spigen) in terms of actual drop protection?
Also, what screen protector are you using? Is that one of those tempered glass screens?
Edited. In terms of drop protection vs. incipio dual pro and spigen, the latters would be better protection, but they will also be bulkier, that is the trade off.
I have a rubber case that is more drop resistant than the IMAK case, but the IMAK is is much lighter/less bulky by comparison.

That is the stock screen protector that ships with the phone.

Edited. I had the quotes in there so you get a notification that you've received a reply.
I wanted to confirm that you really meant to say that the Incipio would have better drop protection than the Spigen and not the other way around (since you later went on to say "but" re bulk), thanks!
Are the exposed rubber portions of the Dual Pro susceptible to major lint/dust attraction? If so, is it easy to clean (I was thinking of getting the white Dual Pro to match a white G2).
Do you think there's enough room on the sides of the case to have a tempered screen protector?
Didn't realize the phone came with a well-fitting screen protector from day 1. That's pretty cool!
I have never used the Spigen or Incipio but I think its fairly safe to say all 3 cases will have enough room for current slim tempered glass screen protectors once companies figure out the curved glass edges which are currently giving screen protector manufacturers a headache.
The stock screen protector is definitely a nice touch in the interim.

No experience with the DualPro, but they list the material as silicone.
My experience with silicone is it's a grippy material and does a good job attracting dust and having it stick to the surface. Cleaning is generally impossible unless you rinse it through some warm tap water.
I left the stock screen protector on my phone as well.

Definitely. My G2 is going to be coming in after black friday (at this point, there's no point in ordering now at full price) so hopefully the extra few weeks gives manufacturers some extra time to get the fit right.

Darn, I literally *just* placed an order for the white case. There was another poster in the forum that said that their DualPro was easy to clean by just wiping the dust/lint away. Now you're making me worry!
Hello Everybody
I would normally won't drop my mobile phone easily.
At the same time, i wanted to avoid my phone from getting scratches/stains and other cosmetic damages.
I also wanted to add protection from the cosmetic damages without any bulk and without deviating from the original looks.
The clear cases adds considerable thickness
So, i am considering buying GadgetShieldz Matte Full Body protector.
The normal one attracts dirt in the edges in the course of time and making the phone not very appealing.
That was the reason i thought the Matte finish would be ideal.
Please let me know your valuable opinion or ideas here.
