Hmm... I searched this thread but couldn't find my answer. What makes this case so "special"? I mean, I've used screen protectors that you just put on and can clearly see the screen. One thing I've noticed with my screen protectors was that sometimes the screen would feel "rough" and uncomfortable to swipe.

And I'm reading about this "solution" stuff. So now I'm curious as to why this screen protector is so "wanted" or "good" to use. In the meantime, Ima do some more searching after I browse XDA a little more. LoL!!

case

Hey Guys...

1 Question... Where i found to buy this case????

"Macro pics of case fit Thanks randpost "
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ImSherlocked:
Okay thanks. They said they will send replacement. Do they give tracking number or at least let you know that they shipped the replacement. They have not notified me yet!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] millicoelho:
For me they shipped it the same day in USPS. There was no tracking number since it was sent in first class mail.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] millicoelho:
Just applied the second one. Keeping my fingers crossed!! And I'm giving up if it doesn't work this time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SliderGT:
Awesome customer service, first one sent had a rainbow effect and might have been the case fit one, so they sent me another one. This one was perfect but I fudged up the installation and one corner is peeling, so they're sending me another one again. Hope I don't mess it up this time lol. I actually don't mind the feel of the screen protector, it's not as good as naked glass but a lot better than others.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
The case fits are smaller around the edge, if it goes to the edge, its a regular size.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] millicoelho:
Better than last time. But it still has a visible bubble in the middle of the screen. It's almost 48 hours now and will see it it would eventually go away.

Meanwhile my 2 cents:

* It may be better than other protectors out there. But you can clearly notice it is rubbery, less responsive and sliding is not smooth compared to the naked screen. I guess eventually you would get used to them.

* When you have grainy screen at lowest brightness like mine does(most of the nexus screen have them), this one makes it even worse.

* Also I notice it gets fingerprints as much as the naked screen

* No rainbow/orange peel - probably the reason why it gets raving reviews.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
It gets less rubbery, trust me.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] millicoelho:
does the protector get better over time or would you get used to the rubbery feel? I'm thinking #2 would happen. I was used to the glass screen for 4 weeks and can feel the rubber immediately after I put it on. If I continue having the protector for another month or so I'm sure I won't even notice it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SliderGT:
The first, if I slide my finger on the bottom of the phone or top where it doesn't get touched it seems more grippy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mylenthes:
So are you guys positive I should get xo skins. This screen protector doesn't reduce the quality of the screen right? Does it get bubbles easily?

Edit: I've decided to get it but I'm confused which to get.

It's like a new pair of shoes, it wears in. I clean my phone with hand sanitizer daily and when I do the screen, it gets rubbery again but goes away after a few hrs, I've had mine on for 7 months.

The screen protector get scratch easily tho, and about the rubbery feel, it will get better with time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
I have sometimes noticed tiny scratches will show, but then disappear after an hour. They self heal, not lark the hard plastic ones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] millicoelho:
Does anyone use swype with this thing on? With swype, I feel the gripping even more and hoping it gets better over time like other have mentioned. Also I notice bubbles are settling in and it took almost 5 days for one of them to settle in. I think it depends on how much solution gets in and time it takes to dry it up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
I've used Swype since day one the protector went on.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
Been using swipe as well. When I had it nakid for a day before replacing the skin I found I had gotten used to it and like it with a skin on there more. May be personal preference, but my "swiping" seemed more accurate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mylenthes:
Its been 17 hours since I installed it and I just put my battery in and I've noticed that the screen has rainbow grains all over it, it did fill in like all my scratches. After 48 hours I'll see if the grains improve.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] millicoelho:
I think it is because the solution hasn't totally dried up yet. One thing I learned after trying twice is to give few days to decide if it really works for you or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
Did it clear up? If it hasn't you probably just got a bad one, if so hit um up for a replacement. They take care of everyone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mylenthes:
Nope its been a week and I have orange peel and rainbow grains. How do I get a replacement email them?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tobitronics:
Yesterday I received my XO Skin for my GNex (which currently is being serviced). I noticed that the protector was sticking (vacuum) to the plastic bag in which it came, so I gently peeled the vacuumsuck piece of plastic bag off so I could remove the protector (still attached to the sticky paper) from the bag. Could this have damaged my protector? The manual also says that I should spray my fingers to avoid fingerprints on the skin, I touched it to get rid of the vacuum, was this harmful?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
Just send them a message http://xoskins.com/contact-us They will get you another.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
I doubt it, but if it does, send them a message.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ace-user:
wat casing is that? looks nice...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] T4rd:
I'm about to replace my XO Skin after about 6 months of use. It was a nice protector until recently when something rubbed my screen the wrong way and left some nasty scars on the protector. There's a bunch of divots and nicks in it too which looks bad in any lighted setting. These have decent reviews, but some of the reviews say it doesn't heal very well from scars and that's what I'm looking for. The Zagg I had on my OG Droid healed pretty well, but I hated the grippy feel and the orange peel affect it had, which the XO Skin doesn't have and is why I loved it initially.

Anyone have any other recommendations?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
It's got lifetime warranty, get another since you like it. Zagg blows, and all other ones don't come close to xoskins. I've had mine almost 8 months, and it's just about time to get a new one.

Wow you guys weren't lying when you said they have great CS. I placed an order last week...it was shipped the next day but has sat at the post office with no progress or status change since then. I emailed them asking what was up, expecting a response saying it was in the hands of the post office now and there's nothing they could do, but instead they are sending me a new one right away!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
Nice! The post office sucks. As anything government run does. I try to use fedex or ups as much as I can. Even if I have to pay a little more, I know it will get there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jackie_jagger:
Hey I have a quick question : How well does this screen protector do to keep oil/fingerprints off the screen? Also to those who had a naked screen for long, did you notice the oleophobic coating wear off after a while? mine suddenly seems to attract way more fingerprints and oil than what it did when I bought it 8 months back.

Help

hey guys

I know I was stupid.

I forgot to take out the battery when I was reapplying the xo skin.

Now my nexus has serious problem.

No sound from the speaker and occasionally cannot read a usb connection.

Does anybody have similar experience?

Any solutions?

And just in case the problems cannot be solved,

do you think I can get a replacement or repairing for free

as my nexus is still under the 1-yr warranty?

Thanks a lot.

Hi all,

today I finally decided to apply my xo skin for my gnex (the edge-edge version). I followed the instructions on the card and on youtube. Now, app. 2 hours after application (i plan to set it for the night) my phone looks like this:

It may be badly visible (it was taken with the nexus 7 camera :P ) but these kind of bubbles are all over my phone. Are they the 'micro air bubbles' as described on the card? They weren't there when I was squeegeing (it looked kinda cloudy when I was finished) and appeared after an hour or so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zaiuss:
i'm pretty sure those bubbles will go away eventually (give it a week)

i slapped on a skinomi on my ipad and it was worse than that. after a couple of weeks, it was all gone.

don't worry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghojezz:
bubble air inside your skin is caused by many factors, first, your screen isn't fully clean, try to take out dust with duct tape, everytime you had micro bubble air, try to put off the skin using duct tape too

i recommend you to put duct tape on both side (diagonal side left bottom and right top or vice versa) to apply ANY screen protectors :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resynx:
The bubbles are completely normal, they go away in a few days to a week. Some people use a blow dryer to make it dry faster and to make the bubbles go away faster too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tobitronics:
The skin has now been on for 12 hours and i must say that 3/4 of the bubbles are gone, and the others have decreased in size. I'd it safe to put the battery back in and start using the device? Or will this harm the protector?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ImSherlocked:
It is safe to use your phone now. Mine took 2 days to go away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resynx:
Don't try to push the bubbles out though. That will cause orange peel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jackie_jagger:
Bump
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] winsettr:
I can't speak to how long the coating on the naked screen might last, but I notice a considerable decrease in facial oil and fingerprints when using this screen protector. Interestingly, any oil that does get on the screen protector is actually more difficult to wipe off than the naked screen... Not something I consider a downside, and its not as if you have to scrub the screen. Also, this protector gives the glass the slightest tacky feeling, which makes Swype work 10 times better to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tobitronics:
How the hell do I actually clean this protector? (Fingerprints etc)

I am really impressed with XO Skins customer service, honestly I can't rave enough about how amazing they are. I did not receive my order due to USPS going to **** lately, nothing XO skins can do about that so I e-mailed them and they sent me TWO free replacements via Fedex Express no cost extra. The best customer service I have ever seen. The protector is amazing, no orange texture, not too rubbery, etc.

The post office always screws up our stuff. It always ends up down the street and my neighbor runs it by. I always use fedex if I can.

so edge to edge right? , 1mm from one edge when on the other edge..ehh camera is on perfect fit, anyways i hope it will be good

installed it leaving it at night to dry , expecting bubbles .. btw ordered 9 days ago got it today and im in Central Europe .. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daewond3r:
A couple of weeks ago, I must've done something to my phone while intoxicated that caused several bubbles to form near the right edge of my XO Skin. One quick email and I had another on the way. My last two installs were mediocre at best, but this last one, it is perfect.

I can now say with complete certainty, this is the BEST screen protector I've ever used on any phone I've ever owned.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
Yeah, it's edge to edge unless you order the case fit. Those are smaller.

Messages them and haven't gotten a reply for a week and a half now. Should I message them again? If so, what do you guys messages look like because I simply said"My xo skin for my galaxy nexus has orange peel and rainbow grains." And that's it. Idk if that's good enough

Message them or call, I found this number a while back in the yellow pages. (801) 224-4414 When you install, after about 2 min, let everything sit and cure for a day or so, if you force out bubbles after its started to dry, you may get orange peel in spots.

I'm Italian, and I opened my Paypal when I was in Italy, I try to use it but I receive a error message about I can't use a Italian paypal for something delivery outside of Italy.

So I try directly with my NZ credit card, but I received 2 time a error message about a different address in my CC compare to one for the delivery (and is so strange because is the same) so I cant finish the order, but now I can see on my online bank stats, that they have take the money from my CC 2 time...

So I just write to XO Skins for find a solution, and by the way, I open a new Paypal account as well...

So unlucky...:(

I'm also wondering what case that is... i have a tpu case on at the moment but it's just a little bulky... I'd like to be able to admire at least a bit of the phones looks! :)

I've got a regular screen protector on mine at the moment and is doing just fine... have ordered an xo one though just off the back of the reviews in this thread, used a 15% of voucher and it worked fine... most expensive screen protector I've bought but it sounds like it's worth it with a lifetime guarantee. Hopefully i won't be tempted away from the phone for at least a year! (Just got it off Amazon a week ago, pretty cheap) replacing my nexus s.

So... I'd anyone knows the make of the case in the OP photos please shout out!

I had bought XO skin. liked it but the screen was grainy on white background. So I asked for replacement. They asked me to pay for shipping for the replacement. I waited for like 1 month but they did not send the replacement. When I inquired they were demanding that I send them back the original protector! I had already paid $9 shipping while buying it for first time. The again paid for shipping for a replacement. Now they were demanding me to send them original protector back which would again cost me extra bucks! I cancelled my order and ordered SGP Flex. Much better, thinner and less rubbery.

How's the Ringke Slim fit? Any wiggle room? Hard plastic or some sort of combination?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boynamedstacy:
The Ringke Slim is the best "slim" case you can get IMO. I have one on my GSIII (not sure what you have?) and I absolutely love it. It hardly adds any bulk and is built very well. The plastic is fairly rigid but also is somewhat pliable. The fit and finish is top notch and the matte black finish isn't the cheap kind that will rub off over time. There is even a leather patch on the inside to prevent unwanted rubbing on your device. About wiggle room? Lol! This thing ain't going anywhere! Unbelievable fit, almost like it's part of the phone. :D:thumbup:

I have definitely noticed the same thing; if you get any oil from your face or grease from your hands it's almost impossible to get it off, you just kinda rub it around when you try...

Most stuff I get on it kind of just wipes away at least a lot easier than bare glass. I don't let much build up though. I take a chlorox wipe to my phone at least once a week, bit of a germophobe. The use the spray that came with it to shine it up. It's just water and dish soap.

I've given it over a week to settle in after installing now but it's not going away and really bothering me when I'm watching videos. Is anyone else getting these rainbow lines?
