FYI, Anyone that is considering purchasing the Invisible Shield for their Nexus 7, I just received mine in the mail today and when applied it would not allow the touch screen to operate. I was unable to unlock to access anything, once I peeled away the Invisible Shield everything was fine. Tried to reapply a second time with the same results, just wanted to give all a heads up.
Yet another reason to go xoskins

Had the same problem after I installed my Skinomi screen protector tonight, but after 2 hours everything is fonctionning again.
You have to wait with all screen protectors that are applied with application fluid....
I learned early on that the extra money you pay for Zagg to install the invisibleshield for you is very worth it.
I had absolutely no problem with mine.

I was going to get one but I decided against it after finding out stylii don't work with them.

The front looks perfectly fine. You can't even really tell there is something there. The back is subjective. I didn't like it at first but it has grown on me. But no one forces you to have the back anyway.

This is why I never install it myself and just pay the guy at the mall to do it. I've never had a problem.
Bought one and had to remove it. It completely distracted from the quality of the screen.

I just put my Zagg on my N7 as well and the screen is no longer responsive. It takes many attempts to get something to even work.
I removed it and all the functionality returned.
I dont know if letting it dry will do anything but i will try. If it doesnt work im ripping this sucker off and returning it to zagg.
I have never had an issue with a zagg product... This is my first time...

I don't have a single problem with my invisibleshield on my Nexus 7, including the one you mentioned above.
So one of the following must be true:
You have a defective Nexus 7 with under-sensitive touchscreen.
Your InvisibleShield is defective (somehow)
Your installed your InvisibleShield wrong.
I received a Nexus 7 with "extra-sensitive" touchscreen (if something like this exists!)
Does anyone's protector seem a hair too big? A bit of it is going over the bezel. Will this thing shrink?

youre meant to let it dry...
capacitive screens work by reading the changes in the electrostatic field directly above the screen as you slide your fingers across it. using applicator fluid and the screen protector will restrict the range of the electrostatic field to underneath the screen protector until the screen protector dries. plus, you're putting water on an electronic device... generally not recommended to turn it on until the water's completely gone. it shouldve mentioned this in the installation instructions...
Anyone ever notice the glass looks like it's permeable on these touch devices? Lots of little holes.
But yes, water cuts the conductivity and will do so until completely dry, at least that is the result on this device.
Same results with most wet install screen protectors, it's not any particular brand being the problem... If you read the xoskins, skinomi and xtremeguard threads, people have the same exact "complaint"..
Let it dry man!
YMMV

You have to wait! Letting it dry is the key. Do you think a major company like Zagg would put out a product that ruins devices like that?

Risk over heating an LCD, I wouldn't.
Besides trying to expedite drying time may cause trapped air bubbles that will take twice as long if ever to stick and will leave a ripple on the protector. YMMV

What's the general feeling on screen protectors? I've had bad experiences myself using screen protectors for other devices with bubbles and peeling etc. etc. Do most people put these screen guards on their tablets?
Thanks ordered a Nexus 10 screen protector along with a spare Nexus 4 back protector. :victory:

I used to have problem applying dry protectors as you mentioned until I found some excellant advise which made all the difference:
1) Apply the protector in the bathroom after streaming up the room. This removes floating lint from the air.
2) Suggestions for flawless protector application:
a) "the best way to apply without anything left under is to align the screen protector secure it with painters tape over the outside , clean the screen really good, fold the protector back, and before removing the backside film, put painters tape all across covering the screen, and then pull the edges of tape and the back film while pressing the screen protector and sliding down as you pull the tape/back film together towards you until you apply the protector fully and squeegee the bubbles out, you will end up with a flawless screen, because the tape will pull all particles from screen."
b) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36632751&postcount=41
c) "I like the masking tape idea for perfect positioning the protector BEFORE even starting to remove the sticky backing. Not so sure about the additional use of tape "put painters tape all across covering" as I think the bathroom stream idea is better."
d) How to apply any screen protector on a iPad 3 like a boss - Very good, watch before applying!!!

I hope these suggestions help.
I'm very happy with my Skinomi, but at 3.75 shipped, hard to pass up as a spare.
Thank you!

I just got my 4 in the mail. 1 for the GF's iPad2, two for my son's nexus 7 (yeah, he's a kid...figured we could use the insurance) and one for my N10, as a backup. I already have a Skinomi on it.
The iPad2 and N7 were perfect.
I didn't really look at the N10 for mine, not needed yet.
When you say back piece, do you mean the two holes needed for the FFC and light sensor?
Nope what I mean was they send me the back piece without it been cut.... I should be receiving the piece same as the picture show right?

How is the screen protector? I mean do you feel comfortable using the screen with it or is it not worth it... and also, does the image change much with or without the protector? Might be buying one, cheap but if it's useless i won't mind buying it.

Bought it as a spare for my N10. I already have a Skinomi on it.
Bought and installed one on my son's Nexus 7 and my GF's ipad2. They're fine, use lots of spray/soap/water and take your time.
I think the only reason you can get it on normal shipping is because they get very low business rates, even though i still don't think they do it at a very good win for them! It does bring in a lot of business though but doing it internationally would just not be worth the money for them! :highfive:
I recently found this issue couple weeks ago . I never messing a found with my moto x n it's still pure unrooted and I just found my moto x when I pull off from my name pants or if I flip it over it didn't show up the active display . and the next week I did use the turn off turn on button whenever I wanted and when I click it off and hoping or expecting the phone show the active display but it won't show up . but everything is good if I restart the phone . does this bother you or ever happen with you before ?

I'm willing to bet its the default screen protector. It doesn't have a cutout and makes the proximity sensor go crazy. Your phone thinks its in your pocket which is why active notifications aren't coming on. I had a similar issue with my screen staying off during calls, and not being able to turn the screen back on because the phone thought my face was next to it. Take off the screen protector and I bet your issue goes away.

Yea, I'm willing to bet the sensor is freaking out. And two of you in this thread that have the problem also have the original screen protector on that blocks the sensor, so it seems most likely.

Yeah I still used the original screen protector that is coming out from the box so it still look like a brand new phone . well you know the reason I did that because too lazy to get a new screen protector but don't you think default screen protector that came right from the box is too thin that will make the sensor went crazy ?

The original screen protector was making my phone go nuts. As soon as i took it off, the issue went away. My issue was that when I was on a call, my face being next to the phone would trigger the screen to go black (as it should). But then when taken away, it would stay black, because the screen protector was messing with the sensor.

Well thank's pyro, even I haven't tried out yet but I will do that and thx for the heads up about the screen protector. you know funny thing, even lot's of people loves Nexus 5, Damn I'm more prefer nexus 5 since the battery is like a beast its like Toyota Prius .
I wish for the next gen of phone Motorola will make this feature as their patent and will be the only phone that will have this kind of feature and also for google nexus too.
Was changing oil on my atv, when my nexus slid out of my pocket face down... Pick it up, hairline crack across bottom 1/4 of the screen. I had a spigen thin fit case on, and the phone fell about 3 inches... Guess I have some good luck :good: I have AT&T insurance (bought phone from them) but are there any other options? The phone was rooted with all bloat removed, I assume that has to go back on if I go the insurance route, correct?

I'm sure that a cracked screen on any phone has more to do with the height and/or angle of impact and/or what it falls on more than the strength of the screen itself. It's probably just really bad luck more than anything else.

I highly doubt a thin glass screen protector would protect from a crack that was the result of the impact flexing the huge screen.

Hey ppl I bought a nexus 6 about a week ago for $100 on eBay with a broken screen. It's 100% usable and works great. I'm thinking of repairing it but the stupid screen costs $200 to repair! So I was thinking to buy a LCD glass separator for $80 plus the actual glass for $13 and fix it my self for under $100. The thing is I want to ask if its even possible to do this? I mean if the touch screen is connected to the glass or not and if anyone had any experience/advice?

Just some first hand experience here with trying to separate the digitizer from the LCD on an LG G3... I've done a fair number of screen replacements before but this was my first attempt at a glued screen where I was really trying to save the LCD. Without writing a 10 page summary of all the problems I had, basically it comes down to trying to heat the screen with a heat gun was fairly inconsistent, as soon as I started to slide the separator in, I shattered the LCD. The wire method might be a little safer but if possible, I would recommend replacing the screen entirely if you can find one for a reasonable cost. You'll probably save yourself a lot of time, frustration and possibly some money if you do break the LCD by accident.

So I guess what you're saying is save the hassle and some money and replace the whole LCD, faster and easier.... Only people that done this method 100 times are able to do it efficiently I think because it sounds near to impossible for a newbie to do it

I tried to separate my broken glass from screen on nexus 6 and I broke the screen, it's veeeeeeeeeeeeery hard to separate glass from LCD panel. Fortunately in Poland screens are cheap and I bought whole original screen with glass for 400 zl it's about 50$.
