Just a PSA for first time Skinomi users. When I put mine on two days ago, it looked like absolute trash and I almost ripped it off immediately. But I didn't.
Two days later and it looks great. Like magic fairies put a new one on while I was sleeping or something.
So, if you try this product, give it at least 2 days before you pass final judgement. Also, put it on at night, let it sit overnight without a case on. When you put it on, after aligning it well and squee-geeing the excess fluid off, take extra time to rub your finger along the curved edges. This will make them tack down very nicely (even though the rest will look like trash, just give it time).
Premature use of a case will most likely cause the edges to pop up. Waiting until the next morning to slap on your case is a good idea.
To clarify, this is regarding the Skinomi Tech Skin Premium HD Clear.

I tried that but mine was cut too long. It wouldn't line up with my camera/home button no matter how I positioned it. I'm not new to installing the or any screen protector so if wasn't too long I would've kept ir on.

What's the best available non glass screen protector that fits the full screen and can be used with case, and does not have the rubber friction or orange peel effect, but can be delivered quick to the UK?

I've always liked Spigens plastic screen protectors. I had to use them on my Nexus 6 since no TGSP would work with its 2.5D edges. I have one of the Spigen's enroute with a ETA of tomorrow, so I'll let you know how it is.
Edit: It's actually arriving today! I just checked the tracking. I've been reluctant to use my S7E all week because I don't have a screen protector and already managed to get a tiny scratch despite 'babying' my phone.
how did you get early? says in stock March 11, 2016...
Some pics would be nice, wanting to get this too and put glass on top lol
so 1 question once I install skinomi skin what happens when I dip my phone in water or like splash water over it since the phone is water resistant. Does the skin come off ?
i ordered that protector and received it already but i dont have the phone yet...but did you get an email from skinomi saying they werent satisfied with the fit on the phone and changed the design up on the protector and is sending out a replacement protector for free...so i guess im gunna be getting a better fitting replacement from them...

Looks like Skinomi botched the first batch with incorrect sizes and are fixing the issue. They commented on Amazon re the issue to a customer complaining that it didn't fit properly so they probably pulled the stock until its fixed.

Ditto. Saw some good reviews on their product and ordered one only to find after application and dry that it had these huge vertical gashes in the material. Sent across an email and they said they'd happily replace it and that it was getting shipped soon, though I haven't seen a new tracking number or follow up email.

I got mine in the same day my N7 was delivered yesterday. I applied it yesterday and like every wet application, it takes a day or so to dry.
I still have a few water bubbles but I assume will dry by the weekend, I hope .
For tracking, have you checked the site with your order number? I did on this Tuesday and saw that they dispatched the order on the 16th.
Got my order promptly, but hated the product. My protector had a horizontal discoloration through the middle and the clarity was horrible. After 3 days I decided to return it, yet to hear back from customer service though.

Mine has a horizontal band through the middle too but it's very light and not very noticeable. I may eventually replace it with an Invisibleshield. To the OP I never got a shipping confirmation. Go to their website and check your status.
Though I will say just from the experience of applying it I don't think it's anywhere near as durable as an invisible shield. I was afraid I would tear it with the card they give you to apply it with.
I ordered mine a few days ago and received it last week.
They didn't send me a tracking number, they gave me a log in to their site and I was able to locate my tracking number in the "my account" section. I just applied it. I wasn't able to get the micro air bubbles out but thats normal and hopefully they go away soon.
The micro bubble go away after a day or so. I plan on posting a review on here when I get a sec to take some pics. If they don't go away after a few days email them and they will replace it. They have been the best company for customer service I have ever dealt with.
I ordered mine the first week of July and received them yesterday. Mine all went on without a hitch. It takes a week or so of use before you forget they're even on the device. XO makes my favorite screen protectors. I won't buy anything else. The wet application is by far the best way to put them on too.

To me Invisishield is a dry application by Zagg and is a bit thicker. I don't personally like them because they give a haze to the screen that bugs the hell outta me and has that ripple look to it. Also the ones I have used were a bit tacky as well.
The Zaggs are easy to put on as well though. It's really what you like as well. I know I loved my bestskinsever screen protector on my Nexus One back in the day. lol.
My XO skin arrived yesterday and installed it on my N7. After a few hours, there were still a lot of bubbles under the screen protector. But fast forward to 24 hours later and the skin is completely clear with no bubbles nor streaks. You really need to give it a full 24 hours to dry and fully cure. The final result does look amazing.

Yeah my microbubbles are gone as well now that its been a day and I agree it looks amazing. This is my first xoskin and I'm impressed with the quality of the screen protector, its a little rubbery but thats a small price to pay
I'm generally pleased with the xo skin on mine. It made screen unresponsive until this morning. Better quality than the last ghost armor I had but I have some vertical lines in mine.

Put mine on 3 days ago. It's ok. Still has a few bubbles on the sides. Makes my screen feel kind of sticky though. Not sure it's worth the money.not to mention I work in healthcare so need to clean my screen daily with alcohol. It becomes really sticky when cleaning it.
Had mine on for about 12 hours so far, and the screen is really unresponsive. Hope that works itself out. Its sticky to the touch, as well.
After two weeks I took it off and boy i am so glad I did. The screen is way more responsive and crisp looking without it. Even though it improved over time
the screen still felt slightly sticky the entire time.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I've had mine on for about 2 weeks now, I love it. It has a slight rubber feel to it but I have not had any screen unresponsiveness issues.
Did you let it set up properly? Apply the skin + solution, squeegee and let it sit for about 12 hours?
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.

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.

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

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
I just received my iSmooth protectors today, the packaging is really nice and I love the cloth. I am going to install them in a bit and report back. I noticed in the package a little info card and if you post a review of the protector on Amazon and provide all the proof of review and your Amazon order number they send you another set for free with free shipping. I don't recall anyone mentioning this previously so I thought I would share the information. If you e mail them the Amazon order number, Details of the offer can be found here www.iSmooth.com/freepromo you will receive the same item you purchased or you can choose another similar product in their range. Pretty sweet deal, imo, that's 6 protectors and 2 cloths for just under $11

You gonna love new version. It's on par with Spigen stuff! The width will be similar to green tint ones, but the cutouts around home button and top of the phone are better. It sticks perfectly, crystal clear, no marks from s-pen, no rainbow effects, and very easy to wipe. Not sure if it was just my sample, I did notice some accumulation of fingerprints, but it's so easy to wipe. No different than Spigen oleophobic. The most important, it feels very smooth, not plasticky at all. This clear version is going to be their new screen protector moving forward in a week or so, as told by Paul.

I just know the guy's name is Paul since he replied back to me. Sorry guys, I probably confused a crap out of everybody with my references to "old" versus "new". I just go by how I understood it originally and what others posted in the forum (I think some of those screen protector posts were removed in favor of a new sticky thread?). Just never mind that whole new vs old stuff. I would say order it, and if everything works great and you are happy - then you are done! They give you lifetime guarantee and you will get 2nd set for free with instructions they provide inside of the shipping package. Also keep in mind, everybody has their own opinion and preference. Some like wet install, others dry. Some want tempered glass, others something else. The tricky part with screen protectors, those are not like cases where its easy to try one versus the other, and then you return whatever you like, or keep a few to change it for different occasions, etc. So, if you find one screen protector you like and happy with it - stop driving yourself crazy (i'm speaking from a personal experience) lol!!! Again, just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt lol!!!

You mean coming off the left side of the phone? In general, not just iSmooth, if glass is not clean and/or oily from fingerprints on one side then it might have issues with sticking. Have you tried another screen protector from the pack and do you see the same problem? Make sure you wipe your screen really good. I actually buy one of those eye glass little spray bottles - its amazing how it cleans the screen and even screen protector (it works on both glass and plastic).
From the picture you posted, it looks like the original cut. Paul mentioned only something like 5% of original screens were affected by an issue of not sticking edge. If you remember, Note 2 has a glass that slopes down toward the Home button. That is where the troublesome edge could happen. If you see the second protector doing the same thing, even after you clean the screen, contract them and ask for a replacement new batch.
.... note to myself: check with iSmooth if they are hiring tech support lol!!!

I've just ordered one now too as the 25% offer ends tomorrow. Will probably get it end of Feb as it's 10-15 days to ship to UK.
Have yet to receive the screen protector, and based off their website I believe this promo is apart of a pre-order. As soon as I receive it I will let you guys know, and include a review.

I'm not sure it's part of a pre-order because I checked on my order on their website and it's already changed to "shipped". Pretty fast considering I ordered it a few hours ago!
I have received the screen protector, but it might be a couple days before I post a review... just an update though.

My only real question:
Does the sp go all the way to the edges or is there some gap?

Any update on reviews? curious on this product as well.
I bought products from Clarivue for years but this last time I bought screens for the HTC DNA. I ended up selling the DNA while the screens were shipping and instead wanted to get Note 2 screens and was even willing to pay all the shipping etc.., but they also wanted me to pay a restocking fee on the DNA screens....even though they had never even been opened!!! The stupid fee along with all the shipping made it easier/cheaper to just order the Note 2 screens and throw the DNA ones away. Needless to say I will never do business with them again and I'd been loyal since my Nexus One days.
It was like 3 or 5 bucks and for a loyal customer of years they wouldn't waive it for me. I would have bought these glass protectors in a heartbeat if not for this...I almost bought them anyway... but stayed strong in the end.
Anyway I hope you guys enjoy them I'm sure they are nice screens. They make nice products but when I needed good customer service it wasn't there.
Any updates/reviews on this. Post seemed to have just stopped. Interested in getting an idea on how the Clarivue HD is working on for whoever has it. Bought the MIME, but I feel like sensitivity was affected when typing. It didn't register the keys all the time. Contacted MIME and they send to send it back for an exchange or refund. Put one of my extra iSmooth sp's back on and I'm happy for now. Just curious about the Clarivue.

Been using mine for around a week and a half now. Seems fine. I think once or twice I might have hit a key and it didn't register but not sure that was down to the protector. Haven't noticed anything else to be honest. Works perfectly for me

I'm pretty pleased with mine - I didn't realize they included a sealed wet-wipe (supposedly anti-static and anti-dust formulated), so I ended up with dust particles after I wiped the bare surface down with a Microfiber cloth and rubbing alcohol. Since I figured I had nothing to lose - as I had an obscene number of dust particles under the glass, I decided to pry it out again and wash it using liquid hand soap and water.
Basically I ended up applying it like a Zagg protector using 99% Alcohol in a spray bottle as a liquid base to a) reduce dust particles and prevent water spots, b) shift the Clairvue into position. I ended up with a pretty decent job - there is only one tiny dust particle - small enough that it isn't visible unless you pull up a white background. There is no air bubble surrounding it and it only showed up a week after the initial application.
My friends who also purchased the same protector applied it successfully without the issues - as they were forewarned by me about the wipe, so I guess the wipe really does help in the installation.
They also included 4 plastic buttons for the home button - to make it easier to press the button down - it came in White, Black, Blue and Grey. The issue with these buttons is that they seem like they're for the S3 and not the Note. It still works but its definitely not the proper shape of the Note II button.
There may be a small loss of sensitivity (maybe 1%?) - but I'm not 100% certain as really hard to tell if its the app or the phone. S-Pen functions fine. The glass is really, really smooth compared to plastic ones - well worth the extra cost. Also resists oils very well - requires fewer wipe downs compared to the plastic ones.
I would definitely buy again - and I'm only including what I went through to apply it since I failed to install it correctly - yet it is recoverable and not all is lost. The adhesive layer is strong enough for some washing. I probably wouldn't pry it out now though as the adhesive has probably cured a little bit. I don't believe it's supposed to be reusable.
Has anyone had any good experiences with the Tech21 Impact Shield? I was thinking about getting it for my Note 8.

Does it go around the curved screen good? Any bubbles?

Yeah it does, as long as you install the right way. No bubbles. This video I am going to link you is for impact shield s8 install. Same concept so no biggie. Watch that video a few times so you get it right. Also order it off ebay it's cheaper. Got 1 new $20, I've seen them even lower. They normally go for $40-50 new elsewhere.
I will advise against it just due to how horrible customer service is. If you need to ever have it replaced good luck.

Removing the film number 3 looks dangerous as it looks like this is the period dust can also get in.

Use dust stickers and you won't have any issues with dust. You could also use some tape. Also you will notice there's still bubbles after installation. That's normal after 24-48 hours they disappear.

With customer service? I mean I've heard bad and good with the customer service from others in regards to tech21. Not going to lie it's been about 50/50 Good and bad from various sites user feedback.
I am mostly putting my kneck out for there protection. It seem like people where putting on screen protector incorrectly. I followed that girl in youtube video and have no issues. I will say that the screen protector installation has to many unnecessary steps.
I totally believe you. Was just curious how'd they gave you a bad experience?

That's ridiculous. I can see why your PO. Sounds like they're giving you the runaround and probably didn't even send 1 smh.
I'm wanting to get the Evo Tactical, but it won't ship when I have it in my cart. It will say there are no quotes at the time, but I can order a screen protector no problem. I contacted support earlier today, I didn't expect them to get back to me that quick, but hopefully they can help.

The first EVO wallet came over here with three scratches on the top. Chatted with Tech21, submitted a picture during chat and got a replacement in perfect condition within a few days. They don't wanted me to return the scratched case. Using the scratched one now and have another one as replacement. Perfect service. Don't they submitted a tracking nr. to you?

I find tape leaves marks to be honest. I also find not many people supply the dust removers in their packaging these days.
During the application process in the video, it shows removing film number 3. Whilst removing film number three the other hand is applying the film thus if dust lands during the number 3 process one is screwed?
I'd like to try this film as I think the material used is similar to the ONN Walmart Note 8 and s8plus screen protectors. Almost like glass but not quite. The latter would have been perfect non glass screen protectors if only they worked. Edges lifted.
I'm currently back to the same sort of screen protector that I had when I first bought my N8. The wet applied clear film that has a 2.5mm gap all the way around the edges. Seems to be the only solid ones out there. Made by Skinomi, Illumishield, Armousuit etc , $60 or so dollars later LOL
The Spigen wet applied film was nice with smaller gaps, but the peel on the film was a joke.

Masking tape is the best for this if you're going to use tape. Yeah I don't like how they don't include dust stickers with it. Also you can go to dollar store and use kids stickers. They also work for the cheap alternative. I'd go with that option.
I followed video to the T and bubbles from air pockets 24 hours later where gone. Make sure your hands clean and not in a dusty room. Bright light will help too. Because you will see dust beforehand. One more thing do it on a table.

They're not the most popular I suppose? Some people there customer service rubbed them the wrong way. But you see most us who have that brand stand by it.
