Is anyone using any ghost armor? or carbon armor for your G2? If so could you post some pics and tell me how it is holding up?
I used GA on my old Droid RAZR Maxx. The corners pealed over and over and over... With them doing the installation.

I had gunmetal carbon armor on my s2 t989 and did like it, but within a month of using my phone, it started sliding off, and peeled in some places. However, my screen protector stood up. I wouldn't get the full body again.

I have ghost armor on my N7 2013, but it only gets light use at the house. Holding up well for months. Now for my phones and this G2 I am a Mime ghost glass guy cause they end up taking a light beating!

Finally got the Ghost Armor skins in at the kiosks. Beats the hell out of Zagg protectors. Full body and screen only are both available. Mine is super shiny now!

Do they have the matte finish?

Looks like exactly the same thing as Invisible Shield to me. What's the difference?
I've owned both Ghost Armor and Zagg on many different devices. I've found that Zagg has a rubbery feel and yellows out in about 6 months or so. No such problems on my Nexus One that has been covered in Ghost Armor since I got it a month after it was released.
My MacBook Pro, Nexus One, and Nexus S are all Ghost Armored. Next up is my Nook Color.
Various pics of my Nexus S in Ghost Armor. Some of the pics are a little dusty. This is about 24 hours after it was done. No bubbles or "orange peeling." I'm pleased.

Interesting. I'll be curious to see how my Invisible Shield looks at that time.
It's definately better than nothing. I haven't tried the BSE pretoectors yet either but I hear people like them. I still think the Ghost Armor is smoother, but still has the non slip surface I want.
The one for my MacBook is full body, including the trackpad. If it was covered with Zagg I would have been driven bonkers weeks ago because of the slight rubbery feel.
Blue Acid,
Looking at your pics, it looks like Ghost Armor doesn't have the same texture as the InvisibleShields ("orange-peel" texture). Is this true?
I'm debating between these and Clarivue, which I believe has a slick texture vs. rubbery/friction.
How do these screen protectors work with swype?

Does anyone know where I can buy Ghost Armor in the UK?? Is there a UK site that sells Ghost Armor products?
They have a site but don't sell the matte version I want. Had it on my evo and it was sweet... just google ghost armor

It is much smoother than Zagg. Haven't tried any other protectors other than Zagg and Ghost Armor.
GA is almost as smooth as the glass itself. At certain angles you can see the slight ripples of the protector but you can't feel it.
My roommates both have Vibrants with GA and they handle Swype just fine.

Granted, it'd fairly cold out and in my house as well but how long did it take for your skin to fully dry? I'm still getting a little screen door and some bubbles on the case battery door. Love the fit but my touch screen is a little unresponsive. Seems my back button especially has this issue. I didn't use the phone for about 8 hours after I installed this. It seems great quality and it feels so much better than the zagg. I'm hoping my back button didn't just start acting up. On my 5th nexus here.

Mine was bubble free and done the same day. Gave it 24 hours to firm up fully. The Ghost Armor people have a machine they use to heat the whole skin up so the bubbles are gone immediately.
Does it cover the gloss black rim around the front of the phone?

Mind posting pictures? I've been reading about issues with smudges and such and I decided I'd do some research into screen protectors. I had one on my Epic but it was the Zagg one and it felt crappy. I like the feel of the smooth glass but I do understand that I can't expect one to be that perfect but from what I'm reading this would be my best shot.
Bump for pictures hehe

Hi,
As I changed my Gel case for a thin TPU one, I now have a small problem
I'm using a budget screen cover and all around it, there is a 3 to 5 mm zone where there isn't any protection.
I didn't notice it earlyer as the case was a lot more thick...
Could you please advise me a clear screen cover which is closer to the border of the phone ?

The pic isn't great, but shows the problem

Funny just received my skinomi for note 2, it covers the entire screen. S-pen works, don't press to hard to void the squeak.
I have used skinomi for every gadget I own, but I since I have a cruzerlite case I need a screen protector that does not cover the entire screen.

You may want to check out the Just Like Glass. I haven't seen or used it myself, but the CEO does come on here and discusses the product.
From what he says, it's designed to leave 1/16" around the phone so people can use it with cases, such as a TPU, and not have the case push on the edge of the protector, per user requests. Sometimes, the cases push the protector up, which can lead the dirt getting under it or peeling.
I'm going to order one when they become available again, which is expect next week. I'm coming from using Zagg protectors the last four or so years.
That sounds great! Exactly what I need. I'm gonna have a look at it

Most screen protector manufacturers don't go all the way to the edge because of the rounded glass samsung used. I can attest to this, you don't want a protector up that far on the glass, because it will peel after a few times going in and out of your pocket. I only had this happen with wet application protectors (Ghost Armor and Zagg HD are two I used, both failed). I switched to SGP's Ultra Crystal, which feels like the original glass and doesn't reach the rounded part.
MOTO X phone could be the most hardest one and the screen and battery cover is even much harder than the protective case, so will you still arm your mate a case or just keep it naked without dangerous..?:laugh:

I carry my Nexus 4 naked (glass back), lol.
The only time I use a case is when I'm working. The X feels way too nice in the hand to put a case on it.

I don't uses cases. I don't drop my phones, so. Had the black iphone 5 for 9 months. The only scratch on it was caused by a case. Never dropped it.
I have insurance for a reason.
:fingers-crossed: No case or screen protector on my X. Didn't have either on my Razr for 20 months without issue.
I dropped mine twice and it cracked the screen in 3 places

Not sure how anyone can use cases and make these beautiful phones look ugly and bulky. Buy insurance or buy an other one if you break.
I hate using cases on my devices. After owning this gem for less than 12 hours I dropped it on the corner while putting it in my pocket from less than 3 feet off the ground. Now there's a chunk missing on the corner. This made me sick and was due to the fact that the "magic" glass wraps around the corners. I ordered a case on the way home.

I wanted to go case free but I dropped my phone from about waist height. Scuffed a corner and cracked the screen. I ordered a case
I have a case but no screen protector. After 2 weeks of owning it, I noticed some scratches on the front glass... Not impressed.

Anyone try this case yet? I've used them on my last 2-3 devices and I like how simple and thin they are but they do the job when I drop my phone

Your guess is right on as I searched for TPU being my preferred type of case.
Does this brand fit with the G2's international version?
just ordered one of these today from amazon.

I have one of these on my Verizon LG G2. The case adds just enough texture to take the slipperyness of the G2 away without being big bulky and obtrusive. You also cannot beat the price.

Same here, hoping to like it better than the Spigen Slim Armor. Less protection I assume but we'll see. May also try out the Ballistic

Just got one today also.... Replaced my Spigen slim armor. The case fits well but it's slightly loose on the bottom part. I've written to Diztronic to see if I got one that was defective. Keeping it on our mow... The Slim Armor was too bulky and heavy for me

I am on my second phone (diff phones) and have stuck with these cases (2nd case). Just had the scariest drop over the weekend was drunk and bored flipping my phone in the air, bounced off my motorcycles gas tank and onto the concrete in the garage...
pulled off the case, not a dent/scratch on her..
mine also has a slight bend at the bottom.. but no biggy.
This is currently the case I'm using now. I started with Diztronic tpu cases on my galaxy nexus and it always did well. Was never afraid to drop my phone. Decided to go with it again on my g2 . You can't go wrong with this slim case, especially for the price.

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.
Best case I've ever used for any phone.

I got on off those poetic slim cases along with a reiko horizontal case. The slim case has a nice touch that doesn't make it slippery.

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.

Im an otterbox dealer, so I basically had a Defender on this thing from day 1.
Id never run a phone without one.

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.
The case looks nice. But still rocking the naked look.

Ahh I know that feeling. You think you've put it in but nop, gravity hates us all.
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.
