are all xoskins super rubbery feeling? everything has been sticking to it. lint, pocket dust, etc. it's annoying to pull it out of my pocket and not being able to glide on the screen because of how much crap is sticking to this skin.

is there any other wet application skins that don't feel so rubbery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Attrition:
I can say after using it for a while like 2 months now, the screens gets very oily and attracts a lot of dust now.

Whoa they do! Ordering one now! Their stuff is awesome

how does the full body work though？ the textured back wont be easy to apply would it？
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billykxda:
I've used "wet-apply" protectors from most of the leading companies, but not XO yet. I've even bought 3M film in bulk years back and made my own protectors and solution. You can say I have some experience with the stuff.

For me, it's the rubbery feel, orange peel texture and some optical loss that bothers me the most. I was going to try XO, but the posts here have convinced me that it's pretty similar to all of the other wet-apply products from Zagg, Skinomi, etc.

Currently, I use Boxwave, which is "almost" perfect. It's dry-apply, hard/smooth/glass-like surfce and it seems to actually enhance the color and resolution of the screen. But, it's shortcoming is it's inability to stick down 100%, particularly at the top of the GNex screen. Otherwise, I'd give Boxwave a perfect score. At $2.50, the price is right.

Seems like there just isn't one product out there that gets this job done right.

Went ahead and purchased an screen protector, like 12 bucks with sprintxo 4 bucks off.

currently using the sgp oleophobic, but wouldn't mind trying others.

i had a love hate with zagg, so hopefully i love xo.

I received my Galaxy Nexus XO skin and it looks very nice and easy to apply
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
Does anyone have a pic of the full body?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shinji21:
just purchased. will post pictures when arrived
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kvizz:
Just received it...

Uhh... is there suppose to be something in the spray bottle? I thought they included their own application solution?

Mine is just an empty bottle lol.

Should I just fill it up with tap water?

EDIT- Whatever, I emailed them, but I just filled it up with tap water.

Almost perfect or perfect fit. A little gap towards the bottom edge, but won't even notice it.

A few bubbles and some hazing, but I'm just gonna let it dry overnight, will miss my nexus lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lionheart7282:
i am using fingerprint and dirt free but they look different.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kvizz:
Little disappointed. It looks awesome, the feel isn't so bad, and not so much orange peel (but it's present)

It SUPER hard to clean it, or maybe it's just me?

Then my fault - I can see some dust and stuff under it.

I don't notice any rainbows.

Overall, great protector, maybe I should have installed it in a shower.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darrendm:
Would also like to see the back protector. It would probably look pretty weird.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
Did you get the full body?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
The spray is water and soap, if you get something nasty on it, use the spray to clean it. Regular smudges I usually just use my shirt or a micro fiber cloth. How long has it been drying? Sometimes they get haze but that will go away after a few days from install.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
I want to know about the case fit. For some reason the gnexus is the first phone I've had that cases peel up the corners. I've gone through over 50 bucks in screen protectors because of it. I think it is because the bezel is so thin on the phone. My other phones including nexus s didn't have this problem. Anyway... how is the case fit? How much less does it cover? The current ghost armor skin I'm using probably has a half millimeter or less gap around the glass. Does the edge fit xo protector peel up on the edges with a case?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ySchaub:
someone from europe purchased this product? Is there another way to buy it? Can't find it on ebay for example...Dont want to order from the US only for 14$: shipping fee + customs duty will be huge :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
its about 1mm form the sides. just enough
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nitefall:
It may have been asked but has anyone asked if this works with the sprint version.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shinji21:
Here it is. My phone will be here on Wed. Will upload with the film installed then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
Im very interested to see what this looks like after a while. I had the crap they sell in the mall installed there on my iphone, and it turned yellow, dirty with lint and was so rubbery. I love the xo screen protector, so id be down for this for a naked phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moe6:
Just wanted to say that when you buy it off a dealer (not XO skins themselves) make sure you ask if it's the full coverage one or otherwise.

I just got totally owned by this :-/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] petsasj:
I received mine yesterday and installed it. It's been 14 or so hours since. I still have some rather large bubbles that came up during the installation process. I admit i didn't squeegee much, but I hope they will go away in a week or so.

The most alarming thing for me is the amount of vertical lines and rainbow effect. They're everywhere! I've cleaned my top layer with a cloth and just a tiny amount of windex, but they're still there. Is this normal? Is this the so-called "cloudy" effect that the protector will have for a few days and then wear off? I'm a little worried since I don't want to go through a replacement. Shipping costs to Greece cost more than the actual protector ^^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] troubleshot:
They should clear up, if you read back on this topic, tuns of people say the same. If they dont after a week, xo has really good customer service and they have taken care of everyone.. As for it fitting the sprint version, correct me if I'm wrong, but they look identical
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pattont:
I agree the protector is awesome. Any bubbles or rainbow will go a way in a couple of days :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] konman795:
After receiving the full body, I wouldn't recommend it. I actually peeled off my Best Skins Ever thinking it would be better but it isn't. The battery cover cutout is horrible compared to BSE and the orange peel seems to be present on a non-screen surface. Will definitely be peeling off the full body XO and reordering the BSE when I can. Disappointed to be honest with the full body, screen cover is still the best I've used and will stay on forever though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kvizz:
Does the skin heal itself?

I have a few clearly visible lines down the screen from my car keys. They are annoying and probably wouldn't have scratched the regular glass. Its been like 48 hours and its still there.

Probably going to peel it off and reinstall my SGP.

This protector gets real dirty and attracts lint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] triStateMindgate:
Don't bet on it, I have couple of those from my keys as well, been about a week, still visible. Wet applications are awesome in that the seal and application itself is nearly perfect every time, but I'm starting to think I wont be using wet SP's anymore. I prefer the clear SP (dry app), plus they don't attract as much fingerprints as this.

How is the SGP on yours? you like it/prefer it? Any pics you can share with it installed? Was thinking about ordering it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resynx:
Some people suggested heating up the skin a bit w/ a blowdryer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] utcu:
I've never had an issue with this attracting lint or dirt and it seems to be much better at repelling grease and fingerprints as opposed to other screen protectors I've used. I'm a mechanic so this is a huge plus for me. As far as the scratches go, if you clean it with a micro fiber cloth when it's a bit warm and put a fair amount of pressure (nothing crazy, if you break your screen, it's your fault) you can actually smooth out the scratches. I've done this with a few smaller scratches easily. Obviously other may have other experiences but that's been mine. I feel the screen protectors are worth it just for the great customer support I've dealt with.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darrendm:
5 months in and it has started to peer just around the edge (as expected after such a while)

Will most likely get another XO skin unless there's something better out? I would really like one which a tiny bit less rubbery and doesn't get so mucky when dirty (it's not easy to clean these XO ones)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
That's weird, do you have the case fit? I've had mine for that long also and it's not peeled anywhere. I just get a wet towel and wipe it off, then put some hand sanitizer and dab that on to clean the germs off on the screen.

~Sent from my GNexus on Aokp~
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darrendm:
The lip on the diztronic case is pretty tight to the screen so it sometimes pulls up the screen protector when you push a corner.

Yeah cleaning is a bit over the top, you can't really wipe anything away with just a cloth or it will make the mess worse. So water is always needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kvizz:
I used to have the SGP Oleophobic, but I peeled it off for the xoskin.

I really liked the SGP, it felt smooth, you couldn't even feel it was there. Oil and smudges were still present, but not as much.

Some hate how it doesn't reach the full sceen size, but it didn't bother me as much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krze:
Received my XO Skin about 2 weeks ago now. The install was pretty easy and the instructions it comes with are very easy to read and understand. I had a few bubbles but they ended up working themselves out in a few days.

My Pros:

Very Clear (once dried after a few days)

Easy to install

Fit (Is amazing!! it's like surgical how good the fit is on my GN)

Smooth swiping. (Not much resistance)

Orange Peel effect is zero. (unlike zagg, which makes a screen look awful)

Lifetime warranty (boom)

My Cons:

Drying phase (first 2-3 days of letting it dry - there was rainbow effect, bubbles and was not clear, meh)

Rubbery feel (I like the hard glass feel)

Cleaning is often (Biggest gripe, smudges seems to linger you have to wipe your screen a lot. Not finger print/oil friendly)

Overall I am happy with it. I can deal with the cleaning. Not bad buy for $12. Would recommend.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kameleongt:
I used both the case fit and full size I enjoy the quick and ready to use. I literally installed and it was ready no bubbles or any issues. I don't like the fact that when something is pressed to heavily it leaves the prints on for some time. I usually have it in my back pocked + jeans makes the print look the texture of jeans. I have only tried this protector i'm on my second because I wanted the full size and not case fit plus I am usually in a paint environment and had over spray on the original protector. I would def recommend this to others looking for a wet apply protector
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shinji21:
Put this on and the drying part took 2 days. Fit was perfect and the rubbery feel is getting smoother. Main problem is vertical lines on half of the protector under white background. Contacted xo skin and they said they would send out replacemwnt right away. Sounds like a pretty good customer service to me. Wish the one to come does not have lines then it will be perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kameleongt:
I had an issue also with my first xo skin the camera hole was misaligned and 1 quick email and they sent me out a new one no questions asked
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Emama:
I see there is 2 kinds of XO SP on Amazon,

one is case fit and one is not,

Does the case fit one leave a huge gap on the edge?

And there is only one option on their official page, which one is that?

The case fit is smaller to accommodate a case.

had the same issue, my lines were on the left side, I got the new one within 2 days. Fantastic customer service, top notch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randpost:
They sent me the wrong fit. Case fit instead of edge to edge. Installed it, and thought i would provide some crappy macro shots.

cured in 2 hours with a blow dryer.

30 or so air bubbles were visible when I first applied the protector. I Alternated my blow dryer on hot and cold for 15 minutes. let the phone sit for 2 hours and now it looks perfect.

sorry for the dust, wiped off dust from counter before taking photos.... bad idea.

Anyway, case fit is nice if you have a case that requires it. I don't.

I'm requesting a replacement.

EDIT: XO just replied to my email and will be sending me a replacement protector today with a bonus screen protector for my troubles. I don't think I have enough solution for both protectors they are sending, but I should have enough for the single replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
Nice pics. I added them to the 1st post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GNexPoppedMyCherry:
Hey, first post here :)

So I ordered a case fit xo skin two weeks back, got it last week but just installed it last night since I was busy. Before I turned the screen on I was very impressed; no orange peel, looked very nice, and the rubber feel is minimal (compared to the Zagg I used previously). However, when I turned the phone on (after 14 hrs drying with the battery out), my smile quickly faded. I have a horrible amount of vertical lines covering 90% of the screen. It has a rainbow color effect so I'm pretty sure this is what is reffered to as the "rainbow effect". The Zagg only had this if I got lotion on it and would simply go away if I wiped it off. But this one, its definitely on the inside. I never touched the inside of the protector at all so its not an installion error.

I've look over this thread and there seems to be mixed responses. Some of you have reported it goes away after a while, while others said it never does. They sent me the wrong protector as this one goes edge to edge, so either way I have to get a replacement. What I want to know is if the rainbow effect is indeed a defect or is it common to have some? Its honestly unbearable, and there is no way I can live with it even if it is better than Zagg in every other department. Basically, I want to know if I should be asking for a replacement or just get a refund since it is still within the 30 days.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] petsasj:
I have exactly the same problem. The screen protector is covered with vertical lines ALL over the place. It's been one week or so since I installed mine, i was waiting for them to go away, but they're still there.

I will post some pictures tomorrow. It's just not one or two lines, it's as if ALL of the protector itself is made up from vertical lines.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shinji21:
Same problem. Contacted xo skin for replacement as defective item. Will report back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randpost:
Those vertical lines happen when you press the squeegee too hard during install. I had the same thing for the first 30 minutes since I pressed the sqeegee pretty hard, many times. They were vertical lines because i pushed the water to the sides from the center as per the instructions.

They went away after a hot blow dry for me. Next one I put on, I will use less pressure since I know now that not as much pressure is needed and leaving air bubbles is fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shinji21:
Thanks for the tip. Will try that this weekend.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Emama:
Are they charging fees for the replacement? (shipping?)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randpost:
Not if the reason you are asking for a replacement is their fault. Like if yours naturally wears over 3 months, you would have to pay shipping. If they send you a product that has a problem with it, they will ship the replacement to you free of charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] utcu:
Or if you're clumsy like me and you mess it up within 30 days of your purchase. They told me I was still under the 30 day money back guarantee period and they replaced it no questions asked, they covered shipping and all. Still can't stress enough how awesome they are to deal with. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GNexPoppedMyCherry:
I emailed them right before making the post I made earlier. Customer service replied back within 12 hours. They said the "rainbow effect" is 100% a defect. Its the protective layer of the skin that sometimes causes this effect. Problem is, you can't tell whether a skin will or will not produce the effect until it is placed on a phone. That is why some of us are having the issue, and the same reason why they can't prevent it from happening. So they sent me a replacement, and since they also messed up and sent me the regular instead of case fit I ordered, they are sending an additional one as well. Their customer service, as repeated 100 times here previously, is amazing. Just really hope the next one I install works perfectly. I think someone else reported the same problem earlier and when they got a replacement, everything worked out fine. *fingers crossed*

I don't want to sound cocky, but I have gotten really good at applying these things. When I'm done, I usually only have one or two air bubbles that clear up within a few hours. I never apply pressure and I didn't even use their white card, which is too hard. I used a much softer rubber squeegee. The lines we are talking about are actually on the inside of the protector. What you're suggesting would make sense if we were talking about lines on the top of the protector.

Anyways I really hope the next one has no rainbow effect cause otherwise, this skin is flat out amazing. It looks amazing when the screen if off, when I turn the screen on though, totally diffent story :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] petsasj:
I didn't squeegee at all, so your theory is wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mayhem1121:
Thanks for the pics.

Are you using the Ringke SLIM case by Rearth?

I'm considering purchasing that case (Ringke SLIM) and XO screen protector, and I don't really know if I need to get the ragular or the case fit.

Does anyone know?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randpost:
yes the Ringke slim case, it doesnt come anywhere near touching the front glass surface, so you will not need the case fit for this case. Obviously you could still use the case fit, if you have other cases you like to switch out.

---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

This is was my second time installing a wet protector, so my experience is limited, just commenting on what I experienced.

I just received my 2 replacements this morning, and the first one I installed had the lines and rainbow effect you were describing on about 40% of the screen, and yes it wasn't caused by the squeegee. The second one I applied today was perfect though, so what the XO person said was indeed the case.

EDIT: I wanted to add that the two edge to edge protectors I received cover side to side 100% and leaves about 1mm space top to bottom. Excellent coverage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GNexPoppedMyCherry:
I'm sorry if I came off as being rude, that wasn't my intention. I was just explaining why I didn't think the squeegee was the issue.

They are sending me two as well and I really really hope the first one works though. When you want a replacement later on, you have to first send your old one to them. Once they recieve it, they will send you a replacement. I was hoping by having an extra, I could just slap on the new one while I'm waiting for the replacement, that way my phone always has one on.

But now after reading your post, I'm starting to think there's a 50/50 chance thats not gonna happen. I'm even worried they both might end up having the rainbow effect which would really suck. You said the second skin you applied was perfect, does that mean it had 0% rainbow effect? Or did it slightly have it still?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randpost:
It's fine, I didn't perceive your comment as rude or insulting.

It's been a few days now, and I can say without a doubt it is perfect in regards to rainbow effect. No rainbow even though I tried hard to find some sign of it. The rubbery feeling has nearly gone away, but I believe that there will be some tackiness no matter how long its on the phone. It's not bad, but it's not as smooth as raw glass. I didn't expect it to be though. Best screen protector I've tried for the GN, but if the glass wasn't curved, I would prefer a multi pack of dry installs purely for the fact that you can replace them easily for pennies.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darrendm:
Mine started peeling in the corner after about 5 months and I was planning to buy another XO skin.

I emailed them and asked if it would be possible to get a replacement under the warranty (even though I live in the UK) and they replied within 2 days saying they would send a new skin and you should get it in the post soon! Great customer service!

If you don't try, you don't get!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Emama:
I got the first replacement since the original one is not well cut..

however after placing the replaced one and wait over night,

most of the bubbles are gone, but it leave many lines around the dry bubbles.....

will those lines disappear too?

I feel bad to ask for replacement again =/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
Usually yes, give it a few days. If they don't, that's why they have a lifetime warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
I just got my replacement, it's a case fit which I don't have. I have the reg one, since I have the ringke slim case I need the reg skin. Dammit I hate to have to ask for another too.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3sixV:
I installed the protector last night and now I notice that there's a piece of lint under the screen protector. It isn't causing a bubble but it's very noticeable.

Can I peel the protector off and try again, or are these wet applications one time things?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wwinnerr:
I emailed xoskins about being able to reapply the skins because i installed mine slightly off. they replied saying that the skin cannot be reapplied and sent me a new one.

when i removed the first skin, it still seemed like it actually could be installed again, but I didn't try. when installing my second one, i had a little piece of dust under the skin which was causing a bubble, but after a day it was no longer visible.

if your lint is still visible after a day, send them an email.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shamrock13:
I'm going to need to. I have a piece under my screen that is definitely causing a bubble. This thing went on really easy. I did it in a humid room so I thought nothing would get under, but a little tiny guy did. I'm debating if its worth it to email them.

This screen protector is great though. So clear and feels nice and smooth. I bought this phone from another user and he had a Zagg on his... it was so sticky and foggy. I can't believe I used it for like two weeks like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3sixV:
