Ghost Armor - Nexus 7 Accessories

I had a ghost armor protector from a kindle fire put in and was OK, fit well, but install could have been better. So I had them order the nexus 7 one. I am now noticing little lines when viewing white pages. Certain angles make these lines look colorful on white pages and is bothersome. Is this the ghost armor? Could putting this in a zippered pocket cause it and they don't seem to heal away as other nicks do.
I feel bad asking the kiosk to ordera and replace it again.
Thanks

It could very well be a defect in the screen protector. Don't feel bad about requesting they replace it, these things have warranties for a reason!
I have had some issues with Ghost Armor my last two installations, went ahead and switched to best skins ever.

Any chance there could be something in the nexus screen that could cause little yellow or pink lines?
Thanks

I just asked the guy at the zagg stand if he could cut a HD shield for me from the iPad 3 and he said yes. It looks great with the HD protector.

Ghost Armor is the Shizzz. Ive trusted them with many of my devices for the past 3 years. Crystal clear and finger prints are a breeze to wipe off.... plus if it ever gets damaged or starts peeling, the replace the whole thing for $10.

Another vote for SGP Steinheil. Once it goes on, you can't even tell it's there. No tacky rubbery feeling, no dimpling orange peel effect, just smooth glass.

[POLL] Do You Use Protection?

Not that kind of protection...but for your N7. I was wondering who uses a screen protector, a case, both or neither.

I have a screen protector with an i-blason case, but I take my n7 out of the case if I'm going to be on it for more than a couple minutes.
Protector and skin for back and sides.
Makes no practical change to looks, size or weight and cost about the fiver, so is common sense imo

I bought and installed a Zagg InvisibleShield on my N7. I was happy that it didn't degrade the sensitivity at all and I can rest a little easier knowing that the screen is protected a little more.
I know the screen is Corning, but it's still not officially Gorilla Glass.
I'm interested in buying a case, but haven't found anything decent yet.

im thinking about buying a case... I heard they have some pretty cheap ones on amazon... But i am skeptical because I heard the cases make the nexus 7 hotter then it should

Does it cover edge to edge?
I can't open the pictures for some reason.
Also, does it really feel like glass? What's the texture like?

The screen protector is very thick and feels just like it's not even on there. It does not cover edge to edge, has plenty of room for a case. I to recommend this screen protector.

Just got mine in today, ordered on Wednesday.
I'm surprised that it came with 3 instead of the 2 that's advertised.
I also like that it doesn't cover the front sensors
I'll see if I have enough time to put one on today. Hopefully it fits with the diztronic.

How does this protector feel? Does it feel plasticy or more like glass?
I'm curious to know as well
Okay so I just put this on my phone.
I'm hating how LG design the curved edges of the screen right now.
I have the oleophobic ones and they are cut out correctly for the phone, but **** man. You have to be a surgeon to not have any bubbling edges, and that's due to the curved edges of the screen.
I managed to get mine in with only a bit of the top bubbling up, but it doesn't worry me as my hopefully prevents it from coming up.
The Diztronic fits good with the screen protector and doesn't post the edges up.
It feels a bit sticky, but that is something common for the first few days. I'll report back after I get the stickiness off the protector
Clarity is great, screen looks pretty much the same as before.
My only gripe with the screen protector is that there's a bubble that isn't any dust that is on the bottom right of the screen. I'm hoping it goes away after some use and settling.
Edit: I forgot to mention that it doesn't cover any sensors, so there's not problem with knock on/off.
Also, after some use the stickiness is already coming off and it now feels much smoother.

So far the feel is in between glass and plastic. It feels much better than plain plastic, but sometimes gets the squeakiness of plastic when your finger is sliding around

Just got mine in today. I can now swype with a clean screen! The bare glass is a bit sticky for swyping but this screen protector is great.
After a day I take back the stickyness. Its very close to bare glass. After a little greasing up she's slick but after a good cleaning its hard to swype because the finger sticks.
I'll be sticking with it for sure though because it fits very good with my DualPro and TPU case. No it doesn't cover the curved edges but I think my case would peel back a screen protector like that.
I really love the feeling of the G2s screen and hate putting on a screen protector but this one is as close as I'll get to that silky feeling I think.
how is the protector holding up ?
i was about to order the pure crystal one
Mines holding up fine(oleophobic) I also have a case so that helps

Good to hear. Im waiting on the oleophobic as well.

Anyone tried Ghost Armor?

Either the full body matte or carbon finish? I'd like to see how it looks if anyone's got pics and if they're satisfied with it.
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk
One thing ppl say that they don't like about GA is that the side coverings leave a lot of gaps and they don't look good, but seeing as our phone really has no sides, I'm wondering if they even have those pieces in the full body set, if its just a front and back piece that basically connects at the sides
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk
I have the clear on on my RAZR Maxx. The sides have to be replaced every 3 months. The screen protector has to be replaced ever 4-6 months.

I had ghost armor on my Samsung Galaxy s3 and I only had to replace it once due to me getting a replacement s3. It stayed in great shape but mostly because I used the armor with a urban armor gear case on top of it. Screen protection is really good on it and you can't even tell it's on there

I second this.
I don't the the full body portion is all that great, in terms of durability, but the screen protector is really good. My first choice in screen protection.
I put it on my old Galaxy Nexus and peeled it off after a week. Can't stand the "orange peel" feeling to it.
I also have it on my s3, its a little dingy looking now but it does work really well

I use to work there (don't anymore, so no bias) but while their skins are a bit expensive, they're very high quality and the life time warranty makes it worth it where you can go to any ghost armor cart or online and get your old skin replaced.
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk
I put ghost armor on all my devices. I ask them not to put it so close to the edge that a case pulls it up. On the g2 the guy wasn't sure he could since it pretty much doesn't have a bezel. Turned out great. On my girl friends G pro, it isn't even looks like crap. But her keys or change in pocket are scratching her screen

I had It on my DROID DNA. It, the carbon, was quite slick.
I've converted to exoskin and they're great. They don't make a screen protector though.

G2 quickwindow cases on clearance for 14.99 @ best buy

Went into best buy mobile yesterday at our mall and they had the quickwindow cases down to 14.99, from 49.99. Picked one up, nice and thin and protects the front too. The window apps are nice too. Just a heads up in case you're looking for one.

I remembering reading once that the silver trim of the quickwindow would sit directly on the screen and overtime scratch it. Could you observe if this is true?

I heard that too but my friend has the quickwindow case and put a screen protector on the main screen which solved any scratching problems.

I purchased a used G2 off of criaglist that came with the quickwindow case. Upon first glance, you don't notice it. But after going outside and turning the screen at certain angles, you can definitely see some very fine surface scratching on the screen where the trim meets the glass. No matter how much I cleaned the screen, it didn't go away. So yes, it definitely scratches the screen over time. Now, I put a screen protector on it (which the previous owner didnt), and you can't see the scratches anymore. However, the silver trim started scratching the screen protector too. So now I just use a completely different case.
I can confirm that, bought mine for 3-5€ on ebay (because I wanted the blue one) and after a month I noticed tiny scratches when holding the phone under the sun. I'm not using the case anymore, well I should have, shattered the screen a week ago :silly:, but when I return it from repair
I try to fix the case by sticking something more smooth on the metal rim, but I still don't have any idea what would do the trick without looking too bad.
i don't recommend it. scratched my screen..
