Just wanted to add my experience.

Love the skin, dropped my phone the other day and cracked the screen so I am getting a new phone today. Emailed XOSkins and they are sending me a new one for free.

Great product, Great Company, Great Protection

Is there a current coupon for XO?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WrightOne86:
I just got the case fit XO protector (switch cases from time to time) and I tried the coupon and it worked. Basically gave me free shipping.

EDIT: I actually cannot recall where I saw the coupon code listed; it had to be within this thread somewhere. But it was "sprintxo"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] v12spd:
Just installed my screen protector a few hours ago. Applied just as seen in videos, I can see faint bubbles if I tilt the phone in the light but from what I can tell it was a flawless install. I got the edge to edge protector, and it is as described, however it seems to be about 1mm short on the bottom. I'm waiting on a case to decide if that's an issue or not. I have two very small white bubbles one on the edge of the phone right by the volume buttons and the other by the camera which I'm most concerned about, hoping it doesn't affect picture quality. I'll post my results after 2 days, but for now, it looks promising. Definitely clearer and a much nicer feel than the Skinomi on my old G2 and the Zagg I used before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3sixV:
So they replied back and they are sending me a new one.

Really great costumer service.

I installed mine last night and it's easily the best wet application protector I've ever used. I did a ****ty job on the installation (should've waited til today and did it sober) but aside from the one area I screwed up, it looks amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GNexPoppedMyCherry:
Update: I got my two replacement skins as promised about a week ago. It came in a regular envelope, no solution or special packaging. I installed one of them shortly after. Once I put the battery back in and turned it on 12 hours later I was amazed; absolutely ZERO rainbow effect. I tried my hardest to see if I could find even a small amount of it because I became skeptical after so many people reported having it and I just couldn't. So what their rep said in the email is right, it is indeed a defect and shouldn't be there.

Overal this is the best protector I have ever tried or seen. The clarity is amazing, the rubbery feel doesn't bother me at all and really is a huge improvement over the Zagg. Also, this time I got the case fit like I originally ordered. It is much shorter and narrower than the full one. My current case is not coming in contact with the protector at all so hopefully I won't have it peeling off until I want to take it off. Definitely getting XO for any phone I get from now on :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] v12spd:
Update:

A few days later, flawless install and I couldn't be happier with the bulk of the protector. Just two small issues, one, the edge of the protector seems to have a jagged issue on one side and around the front facing camera hole, unpleasant to look at but doesn't affect use of the phone.

And the other issue is that it fits edge to edge (as ordered) and perfectly everywhere, except the bottom edge, where its almost 1-2mm away from the bottom of the phone. Is that how its supposed to be? Because it looked pretty spot on in the pictures folks have bee posting...

Beyond that, I'll definitely stick with xoskins for all my skin needs in the future, easy to install and keeps the original brightness/vibrant colors of my display. Haven't had a test of its damage taking abilities yet, and here's hoping I wont have to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meeporox:
I has had xo screen protector for about 5 months now. Decided to take it away and tried capdase klia protector. The reason is I can't take the rubbery feeling anymore. It tends to be worse when dirts are accumulating on it. It is quite difficult to clean the screen as well.

Capdase protector unfortunately doesn't cover the whole front of the phone. But I am quite happy with it so far and will keep it on for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedBlueGreen:
just ordered mine... and sent my phone in for repair.. now i have to wait for two things >.< lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daewond3r:
So I got XO to send me a replacement (great customer service as many have said), but I don't have enough solution for the next application.

I've heard of using a little bit of hand soap and water? Any other tips/suggestions/forumlas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidtoy09:
Dish washing soap works well too. Make sure you are in a room with plenty of moisture (less air static) thus less dust. Best place to install is your bathroom. Crank up the hot shower and steam it up lol. I did that to mine. It was kinda funny. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
Just top off the bottle with a drop of dish soap and water. I mailed customer service a few months ago about this and that's what they said. I now just use it for a cleaning spray on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn0warmy:
I've had mine installed for about 5 months now. It's still going strong and still looks great. I have noticed that over the past few weeks there is some slight orange peel forming that wasn't there before but it's still extremely hard to notice.

With the way this protector is holding up, I see no reason it won't last for at least another 5 months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkfire2024:
Does anybody use this screen protector with the cruzer lite v2 androidified cases? Do you guys use the case fit one or the regular one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jiggaholix:
These guys seriously have the best customer service I've ever encountered. I ordered a case fit screen protector and it arrived without the application spray in the box. I contacted them and they sent out a whole new package. When it arrived I promptly installed the case fit.

I noticed that when i use my casemate tough there is a gap 1-2mm at the bottom where my screen is exposed...

When I use my cruzerlite tpu the right side starts to come up...

When I use my casemate droid monster silicone the case fit is perfect...

I again contacted their customer service and expressed my concern about the casemate tough. They are now sending me another case fit and an edge to edge...

They should arrive tomorrow...

As for the quality... it is one of the better wet application screen protectors I have used.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedBlueGreen:
Couldnt that make the phone get water damage?

guess its good to cover the ports at the bottom of the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
My installation doesn't look as good as yours, haha. I installed mine last night, and while I know the air bubbles should disappear after about 48 hours, the lint trapped inside won't. I can never seem to get rid of them before installing screen protectors :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dg4prez:
please let us know how the edge to edge does with the cruzer lite case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
If you spot the lint right after you install it, you can peel it back and pick it of. Just keep your fingers and the skin wet. Just like installing window tint
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
Works fine, I was using the same setup until I got the ringke slim.

~ Sent from my GNexus on Aokp ~
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Thanks, but I think it's too late now. It's not really bothering me now, but I know I'll get fed up later haha. XO Skins also gave me the tip about installing in a humid space like the bathroom running a hot shower, so I'll try that next time I buy a skin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Emama:
I got the third replacement,

this time having vertical rainbow line......OMG...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daewond3r:
Got my replacement and just installed it. Got it lined up way better than last time. Got the hair dryer on it (low heat/low setting) right now. Gonna turn it off in a few and let it sit over night. Will report back in the morning.

UPDATE: 8.5 hours later it looks great. One tiny speck of dust weaseled its way in but I think I can live with it (for now).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Hi,

Got mine 3 days ago...The skin wasn't fit correctly between the top,arround the speaker and the bottom.

If I fit correctly the top,the bottom doesn't fit correctly,there is a little sapce (maybe 1mm) where the screen is not protected and vice-versa :confused:

In addition,after several tests the skin no longer applies correctly on the screen...

Maybe I lack the dexterity or the skin was not perfect "cut"...

In short,I sent a mail to the customers service and they will send me another :)

Great customers service as others have said ;)

I hope this time it will get better...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saywhaa:
i unno if i posted in here or not, sorry if i did

i have this screen protector and i'm not really impressed. it works like it's supposed to but the finger prints and such are harder to get off (pretty much have to use a rag that is damp) and i see all indents on this screen as well. ive been thinking about taking it off as i am careful with my phone anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
Give it a couple days to settle, XOs don't work too good until a couple of days in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Hmm... After day 2 it seems like the skin has expelled the lint out of itself, haha. Can't even see where they use to be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] feihtkrad:
Not sure if it's happening to you guys but I can see some orange peel effects on mine after having it on for around 2 weeks...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atistang:
how does this feel once dried compared to phantom skins or zagg?

i don't like the way zagg and phantom feel, they are kinda soft and it makes it hard to drag your finger across smoothly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheRarePlushHeadcrab:
Just got my XO skin today after ordering it exactly 2 weeks ago. Any tips for installation besides applying it in the bathroom after a hot shower has been running for a while?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] suprafreak1000:
Keep that squeegee card wet while getting the bubbles out, iirc that's one of the main causes of the rainbow effect. But I just had my fingers, and both sides of the screen wet, and laid that ish down carefully.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheRarePlushHeadcrab:
Well I think I messed up the application. I didn't squeegee very hard because I wanted to avoid the vertical lines issue and as a result there are a lot of air bubbles still under the skin and it's been a little over 4 hours since I installed it. I've got a fan blowing on it and I'm hoping the bubbles will disappear by tomorrow morning.

One thing to note is that the nozzle on the spray bottle they sent me was broken, so I had to wash out a larger bottle of cleaning solution for my glasses. I had to add some dish soap and water to the solution to get it to reach the tube leading to the nozzle of the new bottle, so hopefully that won't affect the skin at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
It should be fine, those bubbles mostly likely just have the spray in them, give it a few days and dont force them out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheRarePlushHeadcrab:
Too late. When I saw that the bubbles hadn't cleared up at all this morning I forced most of them out with my thumb. Unfortunately the movement of the air bubbles under the skin left trails that are visible from certain angles. From any other angle it looks great and it feels great too, so I'm hoping the trails disappear over the next few days.

Edit: I should specify that these were fairly large air bubbles, not the micro bubbles that are mentioned in the instructions.

Aw man, I just ordered Thursday. Do you think they'll refund the difference if I ask?

Not sure buddy, can't hurt to ask. Maybe they have an option to cancel an order and you can do it again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Emama:
Those bubble line after dried out won't disappear..

I had it and ask for replacement
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheRarePlushHeadcrab:
Yeah, I'm going to be requesting a replacement. The lines cleared up a little bit but they are still clearly visible from certain angles.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zuberio:
It didn't work for me .... gave me some 'this coupon can only be used once' message. I don't know though ... I had some issues with coupons on Google checkout so I just went through their website payment processor instead. Whatever, "SPRINTXO" saved me a few bucks.

best shipping rates are through the website itself, not google checkout.

I was using a Ghost Armor screen until now since there's a kiosk at the mall nearby ... but the guy left a piece of lint during install and when I went back to get it fixed they were out of stock. So I patiently waited 2 weeks for them to get more stock ... no dice. I got a refund of $20 minus the $5 install fee. Currently sporting a lint free $7 protector until my XOSkin shows up.

Never using Ghost Armor again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] troubleshot:
I just got an email regarding that code.. something was messed up that they fixed.

Dear Valued XO Skins Customer,

There was an error with the code XOMD50 preventing some from using it that has since been corrected. If you experienced this, we certainly apologize for the error, your orders using this code should now process correctly for 50% Off.

Best Regards,

XO Skins Customer Service
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neosic:
Amazing customer service!

Asked if it would be possible to get a refund of the difference and they said yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billykxda:
AMAZING!

I've used so many protectors, and even bought 3M film in bulk to make my own. Plenty of experience in this area.

On my GNex, the Boxwave has been the best I've found. Wet-apply protectors always have orange-peel, surface irregularities and rubbery feel, so Baxwave has worked for me.

But the XO has changed my mind. It's the absolute best I've tried yet. Perfectly-cut, and more forgiving than any film I've used, as every irregularity (including micro and mid-sized bubbles) worked out 100% in the first 24-hour period. Clarity is excellent and although there is the plastic-y feel, it's very minor.

Very happy to have purchased XO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 916Kev:
Sweet, thanks for the code.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
Thanks for the code. I've ordered another one because I spilled nail lacquer onto the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] troubleshot:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
That's pretty cool of them. 50% Off is HUGE for their stuff
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedBlueGreen:
I ordered mine on the 21st with the sprintxo code (which says 20% for me)

So thats $13.46 - 20% = $10.77 + $7.21(shipping) = $17.98 total

After reading the success neosic had i thought id give it a try.

This is what i emailed them;

and this is what i got back

so i saved $9.90 and paid $10.77
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neosic:
Yep, amazing customer service. I'm sure they would do it for anyone if it was within a reasonable time frame.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dg4prez:
yeah, i cocked up my install and ended up with a ton of crap under the screen, so i emailed them and they are sending a replacement my way. since i was low on spray, they told me how to make it. i had already guessed but confirmation was nice.

the funny thing was as bad as i thought i'd screwed it up, after two or three days it looked pretty damn good. the only flaw was the stuff trapped underneath due to my own ineptitude.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zuberio:
XOSkins Customer Services is LEGEND ... wait for it ... DARY!

Had my own set of issues with the website. First Google Payment wasn't accepting any coupon codes, then Paypal wouldn't let me ship to Canada and pay with a US CC (I lived in the states for 4 years and kept the card). And finally the first time I hit the confirm payment button on the website itself it kicked me back to the shopping cart.

All in all, I didn't get the 50% off and I got charged twice on my CC. Two emails between Amber and I and it's all cleared up!

Got my 50% off! Woho! Can't wait for the it to show up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masterchif92:
bought one now with 30% coupon i'm from italy :S when it will comes? XD
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neosic:
So I've installed mine and I notice these micro vertical lines that seem to magnify the screen as to create a sort of rainbowy color. Anyone know if this will cure over time? It's most visible on white. I know it's not burn marks because the surface is perfect and from what I can tell, it's under the skin...:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zuberio:
Rainbow color is a product defect. Still wait 24-48hours to see if it goes away on it's own. If not, contact XOSkins and they'll send you replacement product.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neosic:
That's odd. I can see why it's a defect. Everything else is perfect about this skin. As someone with sweaty palms, the rubbery feel is my thing. Surface looks flawless besides the human errors I made. I just emailed them, I'll probably wait a day or so to see if it goes away as some have reported it does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] troubleshot:
Yeah, if it doesn't go away after a few days, just send them a message. They will take care ya
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Emama:
Their customer service is great, but not for the protectors itself.

This is my 4th replacement, and still having rainbow on half of the screen!!

(actually 3 of them have rainbow! and the one without is different size......)

I am thinking to buy one from other brand....or ask for replacement again....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neosic:
Curious, are they like micro vertical lines that are most visible on white? And are there like patches of them (like some parts are perfect and some not)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Emama:
Yes, it is like half of the screen :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
Someone on here was saying they think if you press to hard during the install it caused them. Either that or you have just had bad luck. Mine look great as do others. At least they have been sending ya new ones
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jewburger:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neosic:
Update: 12+ hours and no vertical lines! Looks awesome now, just waiting for some more air bubbles to cure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kmakiki:
So I just ordered one of these guys for my Gnex, as I noticed I got a few small scratches on the screen (really annoying haha); how well does it fill up the scratches? Is it the spray on compound that does it, or the protector itself?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
Just ordered my case fit for 14$ and some change with the "sprintxo" code. Thank you!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
Yeah, it is scary... but it is OK. Its a nice skin and just take your time and apply a lot of the solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rusteh:
Can someone who bought a case fit tell me whats the difference? Wich one is better?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
the difference is that the case fit is a little shorter around the sides so that people who use cases don't get the edge lift from the case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bobb_o:
What do you mean edge lift? Should I return my regular fit?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PaulG1488:
Sometimes when u have a screen protector that covers the whole screen and u put a case on it ,it may lift the edges of the protector that's why the case fit version is a trim that leaves a little room so when u put a case on that won't happen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Magnus_CA:
Can anyone comment about the fingerprint resistance of the xo? I'm a huge fan of SGP's oleophobic films and was planning on getting one until I found out they are undersized due to the curved screen. The oleophobic film did a very good job of hiding fingerprints and skin oils (the smear effect) and I hope the XO on its way to me performs similarly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nyijedi:
How do you know? As far as I can tell, there are no water stickers on the Galaxy Nexus that are visible without taking the phone apart.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rilasis:
Just applied mine...but there are a bunch of weird spots underneath the protector that look like pieces of dust that are causing peaks in the film. I hope they go away when it dries...there was nothing there before I added the protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rilasis:
Yep spots are still there next morning...I was super careful when I applied this and still got something under the screen. I guess I'll just get Ghost Armor.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
what you should have done is taken a shower in a room and attempt putting the protector on after the shower because the humidity settles the dust.

you can try ghost armor, but you'll get the same results.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biglipps66:
Just bought one for me and an iphone 4 one for the gf.

SPRINTXO worked saved me $8 total on my order for both
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kjwalker:

XO emailed me and said the regular fit should be fine with my Otterbox.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ovrclck:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jankyboy:
Just installed the XO skin on my GN - simple and straightforward. I didn't notice any liquid collecting around the ear piece while working out the excess. I presume like with other wet application skins, some of the haziness that remains will disappear over the next 24 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn0warmy:
If possible, will you please post some close up detailed pics of the screen once the haziness fades. I'd like to give this screen protector a try but I am still weary about how it looks up close.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
The shower has always helped me. Turn on the all lights in the room too so you can get a good look and make sure there is no lint. Also you may see haze, but it will go away after a day or so. Mine went away overnight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
I think you only really need a case fit if you get one of the rubbery cases that flex everywhere. Otterboxes are crazy durable. Especially the defender series.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
The protector itself. If you take it off, the scratch is still there. I think the glue gets in the scratch while it dries.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neosic:
It can't be the spray as it is just a a drop of soap and water so most likely the film
