I know I said I was going to post in a couple of days, but the bubbles have already gone away, and the screen looks so incredibly smooth.

I don't know if it is me or what, but this has got to be the most impressive polyurethane protector I have tried to date, and I first tried ZAGG on my iPhone 2g back when it was released. I am actually happy with it, which is a shock xD.

If you are thinking of getting this, go ahead! But remember that the install needs to be taken seriously. Don't just rush through it because you will make mistakes. Be clean and methodical.

Alright enough jibber jabber. Go get your xo skin ;)

stretched, that is a great picture comparison. I can't wait to see if mine stays smooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agligoros:
i put it without squeegee to much(2-3 times with low pressure)

right now is f@cked up:confused: with big bubbles...i will wait until tomorrow to see the real deal..

edit:

also it doesn't fit 100%

it has a little gap at the bottom side of the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vomer:
I think you guys should lightly squeegee out the big bubbles when applying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
If you don't want to squeegee then be prepared that it will take quite a few days for the bubbles to go away.

You probably ordered the case fit protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IIIPowerIII:
I ordered 3Xo skin with full screen coverage and none of them fill the whole screen, always missing something at the bottom. it was 3 different order and I got 2 replacement and they're doing the same thing.

Maybe in 1 order they mixed it up, but on 5 different deliveries, no way...

last one I have on right now is the worse, with commuter case on, you can see the screen at the bottom.

FYI use this coupon code: SPRINTXO to get 30% off
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CBMC:
Mine is the same way. Gap at the bottom, nowhere else though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agligoros:
you are right!!

bottom fail:D

mine also is not perfectly cut at the bottom side

in the case fit will be a perimetric gap!!only in the bottom is the problem!!

And i have not order any case fit..

I will wait then..for a couple days for the bubble bobble:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trilogee:
I couldn't stand the rubber feel it was driving me nuts and got dirty so easily... took it off after 3 days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noel_leon:
Yeah, trilogee. That is and has always been a problem with this type of protector. The problem being that fingerprints sort of build up more on the surface. I think it's alright if I keep my hands clean though. The rubbery feeling is unavoidable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idefiler6:
This thing is dirty as hell after 2 weeks, covered in squiggles from this "squeegee", which is actually a blank credit card which can damage the cover. I don't mind the rubbery feel too much, even though it's noticeable.

All of this would be tolerable if this protecter didn't make the touchscreen quirkily nonresponsive at times. I'll click on my app drawer and nothing happens, or a softkey. Really irritating. Definitely going with something else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Does not squeegeeing much (so that those types of bubbles form) really help it look better? I've always put wet mount screen protectors on and squeegeed most of the water out, usually using the card covered with a soft cloth, and have never had those bubbles form. I decided to install another one of the screen protectors I bought (xtreme guard) and not squeegee much at all this time and those types of bubbles formed. It's only been about 24 hours, but they do kind of drive me crazy.

I'm trying to be patient, so hearing from others that it actually does something would be nice lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agligoros:
i was read somewhere(i don't remember)that,the squeegee thing=more orange peel

and i was scared,not to scratch the protector with the stupid card,so

i decide not to squeegee to much!

today the bobbles are smaller and some of them disappeared...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] troubleshot:
They will all go away. Using a squeegee after it has already started to dry may stretch it. I use it right at the install and then I don't touch the phone over night. If any bubbles still show they will go away after a few days. Dont try and force them out and it will look perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alanid:
Got my replacement skin last week. Installed it and it looked alright but it just took away from the screen imo. The rubbery feel went away after a few days but I just had to rip it off today and the screen looks so much better naked. I'll probably regret it if I scratch the screen but it's a risk worth taking.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agligoros:
bye bye bubbles

well...the bubbles are gone:D

no orange peel(vs Zagg)just a little..

rubbery feeling,is in high levels(but as you guys saying it will gone after a few days).

Very very happy with xo skins

but i thing i'll ask for a replacement cause i have vertical lines to 1/3 of the screen protector ,at the top point.

they are slightly visible thought...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Attrition:
I concur, I applied mine over the weekend and 90% of the bubbles are gone. This is the best wet skin I've used so far comparing to Skintomi and Zagg. Orange peels effects are very fine, and not easily discernible unless you examine it very closely but its not as blatant as Skintomi or Zagg.

Pros:

-Very very minimal orange peels effects

Full cover, very close and nearly edge to edge about 1-2 mm off

-Minimal finger prints visibility

Cons:

-Lengthy cure time (bubbles dissipation) than stated

-A bit pricey

Really happy, would buy again and recommend it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unlawful:
Just wondering, is this the Galaxy Nexus screen protector, it sure seems as if it isn't with the three extra holes plus the large cut-out? If it isn't, this'll be the second time they've sent the wrong protector -.-

I've marked where the extra holes are with my rough PAINT edit, though they're still very difficult to see in the image.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noel_leon:
Yeah, there are only two cutouts on my SGN screen protector from XO skins. It's the long oval cutout for the speaker and the round cutout for the front facing camera.

Can't really take a picture for you, but I assure you that there is no need for a third cutout, and there has to be a longer cutout for the phone speaker.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agligoros:
no this is the wrong protector:eek:

its look like Motorola Razr protector
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] troubleshot:
After you fill out your info, it has a spot for a coupon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Well I just ordered one. $16 after shipping, but 30% off got it down to around $11. Not bad.

Seems to have gotten good reviews and is semi-affordable (vs $29.99).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwd3885:
just ordered! Thanks for the SPRINTXO coupon code..

I'm usually really good at applying these to all my phones. Have used Best Skins Ever, Bodyguardz, SGP, etc. Bodyguardz and SGP are really good but expensive. I'll post a vid of this after I apply. Merry Christmas!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] willisj318:
The coupon worked, I just picked one up. Thanks for the link and info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Koyuki-kun:
Ordered one. Usually I dont put a screenprotector on my phone as the touchscreen doesnt feel as nice as it was before after taking it off again. Like it did something with the coating of the screen.

Anyone else had experience with this? Last time I used the Zagg screens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
These dont feel all sticky like others. Install it at night so you can let it dry overnight without touching it. Mine was a little foggy but it clears up after a day or so. This is a side by side pic I found on another forum
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rikou_demon:
Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. I had a Zagg I eventually took off my Asus Transformer, and it had that orange-peel red-tint effect I didn't like. Hasn't had any scratches thanks to the Gorilla Glass since, but I don't have that luxury with this G. Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] catmandu:
Does anyone use a case with one of these installed? It seems as tho it covers more screen then the standard crappy vzw one and not sure if a case will force it to peel off edges.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CBMC:
While the zagg, bestskinsever, etc do exhibit some orange peel, that picture is exaggerated. Whomever put that skin on did a terrible job. Looks like it has been lifted and reapplied. On that note, the xo skin looks great and I can't wait to receive mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zipzoomeroo:
Picked one up. Thanks for the codes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PaulG1488:
This is why I been thinking of getting a vzw clear screen protector because of the space it leaves on the side I wouldn't have to worry about the protector peeling
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dct3416:
They now have the "case fit" available... http://xoskins.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-screen-protector-case-fit
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrotherG:
Whats the difference?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bobb_o:
Are you kidding me, I ordered a normal one not knowing there were two options.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KrazyMonkey:
I just sent them an e-mail to see if they could change my order to the screen fit. I made an order yesterday and it's still being processed. Hopefully they can change it before it's shipped out.

Edit: According to the site :
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bobb_o:
I did the same thing KrazyMonkey. I ordered mine on the 19th.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kjwalker:
I wonder how far back it is trimmed, though..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bobb_o:
Well like an hour or so after my email I got one saying it shipped. Oh well, hopefully it won't be a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rusteh:
First of all, can someone tell me whats the difference between these two?

Second, it would be great if someone who got one would make a vid on how to apply it. I bought one but i want to pit it right.

If you guys could do that, it'll be great thing.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikehoteltango:
bought an xoskin, but it has yet to arrive. I am literally scared to try applying it especially since this is my first smartphone after having used a dumbphone for years.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
Have you contacted their customer service? That is really bizarre.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unlawful:
Yep, I'll contact them again when the case fit one arrives incorrect. Hope third time's the charm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] troubleshot:
So getting ready for church my wife left her phone on the bathroom counter and hairspray got on her screen. It wouldnt just wipe off so I send xo and email for a replacement. I guess hairspray is a lil acidic
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
What did they say?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] troubleshot:
They are sending me another. Great Customer Service!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resynx:
Just received my Galaxy Nexus and installed the XO Skin, feel like I did a terrible job though.. Had to peel off 1 corner cause dust got stuck under it and respray. Hopefully it dries up good though. So now I guess I have to wait 2 days? Itching to use it!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Guto ViP:
Me too, i did a terrible job and now i see some orange skin... :(

I will buy another one.... Xo skin is hard to remove off my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KLUVJ:
seriously hard, but easy too lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resynx:
Edited: Have 2 very bold air bubbles on the protector that seem to have dust under them T_T (these 2 air bubbles are really more defined than the others that seem to just have liquid under them)

crap I may just have to order another one..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackDino:
Just wait, don't press them.

Same thing happened to me, they will go down
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ~WindzStriker~:
do you all notice with XO Skin.

it tends to trap dust on the screen protector ? especially around the sides of the screen protector, which is the edge of the phone as you would say.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resynx:
Thanks, one of them that was on the edge did go away. Aah but that big piece of dust under the protector got stuck in there and it's bothering me so much lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chantheman525:
I just installed last night. The install was easy. Took about 10 minutes. The screen looks perfect with no air bubbles or anything underneath. My only issue is that this morning near the ear piece and camera there seems to be some tiny bubbles that have some white dots in them. It almost looks like white lint, but i did an incredible job cleaning my phone before installation and even installed it in the bathroom with hot steam going to get all the lint settles on the floor. Will these bubbles go away in a few days, or did I mess up something? I can try to post a picture later if anyone is interested.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
The bubbles go away after a few days. If they don't contact customer service and they will take care of ya. Mine doesn't have any dust. Are you using a full size one and using a case?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chantheman525:
I'm using the full sized one. My case doesn't really touch the sides of my phone so I'm not worried about it pushing the skin back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vomer:
installed it yesterday at 6PM... its 6PM now today and still have lots of "bubbles". Any hope?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
Sorry the case portion was more directed at ~WindzStriker~
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
Yes give it another day or so. You can also warm it with a blow drier or leave it near a drier vent. Just dont force them out and it will turn out perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vomer:
I left it on a vent for a while today after your comment. Bubbles are still there but I hope they go away...

They feel like a "bump" if I run my finger across the screen...not sure if this helps.

Getting anxious :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aydos:
If they feel like a bump then that is most likely lint or dust particles that were trapped under the protector when applied.

The bubbles that go away after a few days generally cannot be felt at all and they are more of a smoked color than full white.

If you contact customer service they may send you a new one. They have always been helpful to me.

A couple of tips though;

1. You can remove and reapply the screen for a little bit (I have not tried 10-15 minutes) after applying if you see something under the screen to remove and it will still sick fine.

2. If you do see dirt or lint under the protector after applying it and decide to pull that part up and remove the debris use scotch tape. If you try to grab it with your fingers you will most likely leave a print and/or grease and still leave the debris under the screen. The tape will just stick to the bottom of the protector and come off pulling impurities with it.

This has worked for me in the past without damaging the protector, but use at your own risk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vomer:
The bubble were clear but now some are getting smaller but with a white dot... it looks like condensation ... best way to describe it...

there is no dust particle that's for sure. Just looks like semi translucent white...

will they go away?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilirose:
I've had my skin for about 2 or 3 months. I have a couple of spots like that...they're definitely dust. All the air bubbles are 100%	gone and the skin is totally clear other than those two teeny tiny spots. They're not on screen real estate but near the camera, and they don't bug me.

If yours bug you, from everything I understand, you'll get a new one for free if you send a pic of the spots to the people at XOskins.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vomer:
Trust me it is not dust. It seems like as the big clear bubbles dry..they are leaving a small pocket of air/condensation? Sorta looks like a pimple lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hEaTLoE:
SPRINTXO code still works! Just ordered mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilirose:
Okay, we actually don't need to agree on the cause of the spots, but the answer is the same...if they bug you, email XOSkins and get a new one for free.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unlawful:
I must say this is a very good screen protector (was finally able to put it on and let it set for a day after them sending me 2 incorrect screen protectors). Customer service is fantastic and the protector itself is barely noticeable. However the only thing I don't particularly like is that rubbery feeling and the associated stickiness which sticks to dust etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
The rubbery-ness will lessen a lot after a few days I have noticed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tommebaas:
I installed it 12 hours ago, but there are like 8 big bubbles.

Do i remove them or do nothing?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unlawful:
Leave it and they should disappear in a day or two. If they don't just email xo skins customer service and they'll send you another one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
You can also use a hair drier or leave it over night near a heating vent to speed it up
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trilogee:
yea they sent me a replacement but I don't even want it...if anyone lives in Toronto/Mississauga and wants to take it off my hands for 5 bucks let me know
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
Throw it up on ebay..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vomer:
Had to force some of the bubbles out after a few days but it looks awesome now!

Here it is with XO & Diztronic
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
Nice, looks good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
I just installed mine. Has been about 3 hours and its already almost done drying, granted I didn't overdose it with solution.

Sadly, I misalligned just a tiny bit too much to the right and it's right on the ends of the screen, can stick my nail in there and lift it up if wanted but still hard to do so.

Also, trying to reallign it...got a bunch of tiny little dust on the bottom left, not a bunch, but enough to notice. Otherwise, luckily nothing on screen and it's drying up real quick.

I can probably start using it by tonight. I have it next to the window and near the radiator in my room to hopefully quicken the process.

I can tell it's going to attract a ton of lint/dust on the edges as that's what seems to happen with these types of screen protectors. The parts that are about fully dried, I can't even see or notice the orange peel effect. It is a bit rubbery right now, but I'm hoping it decreases a bit more when fully dried.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peterlws:
it really look great! thanks for sharing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resynx:
Crap, I have a rainbow line running down the middle that shows when viewing the color white. Looks like I'll have to order another protector.. hate waiting for it to dry though, would leaving it in my car during the day be a good idea for faster drying? Since it gets really hot in there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lush78:
Are these only sold through the website? Or can you buy them at any retail locations such as carriers or big box stores? Is the website the best place to order from in canada?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agligoros:
i have rainbow line too:(

but i thought it was normal..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resynx:
I don't think so, or we'd be seeing much more people report about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xl DIGITAL lx:
I had those rainbow lines as well, it covered half my screen. Emailed them for a replacement and they responded very quick. Received my replacement yesterday and its all good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resynx:
Yeah I will probably do the same. I just can't stand the wait for it to dry. It took almost a week for all my bubbles to come out the first time!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xl DIGITAL lx:
Wow, really? It took me almost 2 whole days for it to completely dry out. Probably because it was by an open window for a few hours. Try not to use too much liquid, but just enough for it to let you move it around.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ILLHYHL:
i have rainbow lines (vertical) all over on the left side of the screen.

it really bothers me when i'm in white screen.

and i didn't even use that much of the liquids when i was applying it.

i still have more than half bottle left.

i was thinking about getting a replacement, but i was wondering if it will dry at all?

is it the liquid that i used to put the protector on under the protector? or is it like oil from your finger?

will it ever dry at all?

again, my lines are pretty noticable...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resynx:
My rainbow line has not gone away and it's been over a week. I think you will have to get a replacement if you want to fix that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ILLHYHL:
oh shoot....

what is causing the rainbow lines anyway, do you know?

did i use too much liquids when i was installing the protector or something??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] troubleshot:
It's probably just a defect. Mine doesn't have any. Message their customer service, they take care of everyone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shaxs:
Well I just installed mine tonight. Going to leave it off for the 12 hours since I have my Galaxy S2 to use in the mean time. Im very dubious about all the bubbles dissapearing ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doubleojon:
Will this effect root access?

;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shaxs:
Of course duhhh! Are you a n00b or something? ;)

On a serious note, if I have the ability to not use the phone until all bubbles are gone does that help? I let it sit for 18 hours so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resynx:
It would probably be better so there would be no pressure on the bubbles. And my bubbles took almost a week to completely disappear :eek:

People say try putting it next to a heating vent or near an open window to speed up the process. Or some are using a blow dryer w/o the heat on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TieNN89:
Does anyone know how much smaller the trimmed back version for the case is?

Also wouldn't it be better to get the full size one? so if you have a case which lips over it lips over on top of the screen protector?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shaxs:
So my next big issue with this is today when I pulled it out of my pocket, there was dust form my pocket that was stuck to the xo skin. Almost looked like it had glitter on it. I could not remove it with my fingers. I had to come home and using a lightly wet cloth, scrub hard to remove them.

Anyone else have this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resynx:
Happened to me a few times, guess it just happens with rubbery screen protectors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] svtfmook:
mine arrived saturday...

went to peel it off the backing, the top right corner was not perforated enough and it ripped at the FFC hole, so that will not lay flat on the screen.

there's a couple tiny bubbles that have not cleared up yet.

i got a bad case of orange peel.

there must have been a smudge or something under it in the center.

i'll email them and get my replacement, but, as of right now, my rating for these is 2.987/8.7465
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
The next one you install let it dry for 2-3 days. It clears up really well. Also wash your phone and hands well first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] svtfmook:
not really sure how i can let my phone sit for 2-3 days...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agligoros:
install the protector at night and after 12 hours you can use your Gnex.

the bubbles are leaving in 2-3 days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noel_leon:
Well, I finally had enough of the rubbery feel, so I removed the protector.

I just have to say. OH MY GOD the screen is so smooth. Sooo more comfortable to use again. I'll just have to be extra careful so I don't get scratches.

I would still recommend the xo-skins screen protector though =)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TieNN89:
So is anyone able to answer my question I posted a few post back?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] konman795:
I saw that they have the full body ones now too, I went ahead and ordered just the back since I already have the screen cover. Am very excited to have the grippy/no orange peel feel and look on my limited edition battery cover :D
