More details.

Autocorrected from my Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marceldy:
Ive been using screen protector since i got my nexus, early this year. but after seeing my friend who has a HTC Sensation, with no screen protection for over a year, and his screen is really scratch less, made me rip off the protector and just enjoy my device ! now myself im advertising for everyone to remove their screen protectors , by showing all my friends around with a live example how good the screens are already by taking car key and sliding it over my screen multiple times and no scratches are left on the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HTC HD2 MAN:
I wouldnt have done that if I were you. Our phone's screens are strong, but not as strong as gorilla glass. I dropped my nexus 4 days after I got it with no case and screen protector. They were still getting shipped from online. It dropped from average chair height and fell out of my lose pockets from my basketball shorts. No damage or anything on the phone except a 4 very little dings and a scratch near the front camera. I was lucky it wasnt on the camera or on the screen. It was on the black border. I'd say our screens are 3/4 or 2/3 as stong as the average phone with gorilla glass.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trinfinate:
Well....just be careful wut ever u do Cuz.....a co worker from A friend of mine bought his nexus online had it for a week.....dropped it....a thin ....long crack resembling a backwards "c" formed on his screen......he paid 500-ish.....total for his phone....I paid him 200.....everything..phone..box ..cables....brand new everything...just the crack on the screen....be care full...might be scratch resistant....but not too sure Bout shocks....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] netscorer:
Wow, $30 for screen protector! One would almost want a screen protector for this screen protector at this price ;). I also wonder (when it ships) how it would play with curved glass on Galaxy Nexus. The curve is not big but glass is not as flexible as regular film.

For what it matters, I went with real cheappo $4 for 5 film and I like it better, sensitivity wise then naked screen. It's smoother and finger can glide on it without getting stuck like on glass. Plus I can attest for anti-glare quality. I can finally run my Nexus in the car at 25% brightness even in the broad daylight and can still clearly see the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SefEXE:
Well, watching the video of the one for the iphone, it does bend a bit. So maybe that will help.

At least, I'd hope so.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
The guy from the company who makes these posted on the forum (the thread was closed because of the advertising rule) showing the a glass protector for a smaller screen applied on the Nexus to prove that it works with the curved screen. It seems to work fine.

My only reservation with the protector right now is how well the edges would work and how easy it is to apply. Normally I would buy a pair of protectors in case I screw the first one up, but at the price I would have to think twice about it. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evil0verlord:
Just noticed. In none of the link can I notice a visible accommodation for the Notification LED. Plus what if one wants to taked this off? Will it 'stick' to the original face plate?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheKanariman:
On their website, they say there will be cut out for LED. I assume that is for the notification. And I watched a YouTube video where a guy demonstrates applying it and also taking it off with his nails. It seems very easy enough with no residues left on the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
Based on my experience with the SGP Glas-t (tempered glass screen protector but not for GNex, of course), it removes just like a normal screen protector and it's super easy to apply, just drop it in place and the tempered glass will stick to the screen by itself. No any amount of squeegee is needed.

The only possible downside, other than the price, is probably the thickness. Depending on the type of case you use, it may become a problem if the edge pushes against the protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cingkrab:
Fantom samples are in with a video here if anyone is interested in the rootzwiki thread.

It looks like there is a clear section of glass over the LED.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AlexWekell:
I bought these:

http://www.amazon.com/SGP-Google-Protector-Steinheil-Oleophobic/dp/B006FNPZME

and they couldn't be better. Thin, unnoticeable, and unlike almost every other screen protector out there: cut correctly. The problem with the other ones I bought were the air bubbles that formed at the top and bottom (because of the curved glass), however you will not get that with these.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SefEXE:
Even some high quality photos a little later.

Looks pretty good, to be honest. Not too thick.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedudejdog:
just ordered one of these.

solves my need for some retail therapy for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shreddintyres:
My biggest concern is if it washes out colors and the incredible glare it seems to have, im still on the fence
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyleechee:
My question is, does the xgearlive tempered glass protector come in white.....or am i the only one was wondering....:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shreddintyres:
No it does not, not yet
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheKanariman:
Will this fall off due to glues on the bezel area melting when the screen gets very hot? I'm wondering since I read somewhere the part over the screen is not sticky.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Steelskinz:
Ordered fantom yesterday. Hope it will fit without trouble with my SGP Neo hybrid :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crummy:
You'll be extremely happy with your phantom skin. I returned my first Nexus after getting out of a truck and the phone dropping about 3 feet to the ground (shattered screen but still 100% functional). I received my new replacement in the store, went home bought a very nice case and a phantom skin off the interwebs. Somehow in the 3 days it took to get here I noticed a small scratch on the screen I couldn't get out (might have been there when I got the phone). Put the screen protector on and it's now "gone". Comes with two, so you'll be alright if the first time doesn't work out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shreddintyres:
This is a completely different product to what you are referring, you are referring to the phantomskinz for the GNex, the Fantom screen protector by Xgearlive. The Fantom is a Tempered Glass screen protector, phantom skinz are a thin film screen protector. Fantom SP has yet to be made available on the market, but I have always preferred SGP over PhantomSkinz

Fantom for GNex review: http://www.droid-life.com/2012/07/2...-glass-screen-protector-for-the-galaxy-nexus/

I can't wait to get mine.. Got a scratch on the stupid "fortified glass," so I imagine the Fantom will actually be stronger than the original.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hullbay:
The XOSkins have a really great feel after you've gotten used to them. No orange peel and they barely are visible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] showstopper03:
lol you beat me to it! i was about to post the same thing. anyways make sure you use the $5 discount code.

Discount Code: "NEXUSFTW"

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

I do agree that of all the wet apply screen protectors i've used, xoskin is by far the best. However, I've applied two different xoskin to my Gnex and both have a bad look on white screens. It almost looks like old school fuzzy tv's that have no signal. Kind of like picture quality when using bunny ears on old tvs. Other than that i like it a lot. very little orange peel and not as rubbery as other wet apply screen protectors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Steelskinz:
Yes i was talking about the protection tempered glass which is not ship yet ! :angel:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] britoso:
The $1.49 3x pack I got from ebay is smoother than the naked glass. It has some sort of coating on it.

Only con is that the protector is not flush with the glass around the camera hole.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gbarayah:
Is that a wet or dry application? If dry, how well does it stick around the edges of the screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] britoso:
dry, sticks very well except around the camera hole,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gbarayah:
Thanks will give it a try. Have used Skinomi in the past but doesn't work too well with the Dizitronic case - the edges are starting to bubble and lift. =(

For $1.50 can't really go wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] defconoi:
Just ordered a fantom today with the nexusftw code, hope I'll be happy with it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uansari1:
Interesting..this is in their description on Amazon:

"****Galaxy Nexus Prime Screen Protector Steinheil Series [Ultra Oleophobic] doesn't cover the full screen due to the contour of the screen.****"

So who's right..?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SefEXE:
Its cut right, but its cut short. You get a small gap at the bottom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fliff:
I decided to get one since I tried multiple screen protectors and I haven't found one that's decent, super excited for this!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedudejdog:
Me too. Did you see they should be in stock/ shipping on the 3rd?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fliff:
Unfortunately since I ordered late I might not get in on the first shipment but I'm not in a rush as I haven't removed my current screen protector yet.

Is there any benefit to buying more expensive ones? To me, the cheap ones have always done well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Look, feel and durability.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MissMayI:
Do you guys think this will cover up little scraches on the screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shreddintyres:
For those of you who are unaware or are not following the Rootz thread about the Fantom Screen Pro's, Representative from Xgear said they should start shipping out orders by Friday.

I like my Zagg, Can be reused if your careful.

The Fantom can also be reused many times due to the adhesive being around the edges.

How do you know? Did you get an email notification with shipping info? Because I didn't receive anything yet.

Are you willing to give us some feedback on the Fantom? Maybe a little review? I assume there are many people considering to buy one and wait for the first user impressions...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AnimeLoverX:
are there any couposn for it atm?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
No. They were pre-order coupons and expired on July 30th.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kadajawi:
I wouldn't do that if I were you. I treated my Nexus very carefully, using a TPU case but no screen protector, and got a really bad scratch in the first few days. Without even knowing how, I don't keep it in the same pocket than my keys (apart from very few times for very short time spans where I accidentally did it)! Got several other scratches too. The Nexus has a really bad screen compared to my HTC Magic which used Gorilla Glass and was treated very badly, dropped hundreds of times on any surface, WITHOUT any protection. To be honest I'm very disappointed and looking for a screen protector now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wolfeman0101:
I just got my Fantom and I love it. It was really easy to install and feels great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Steelskinz:
I can't wait.. No mail for sending atm. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Make a new properly titled (ie. Xgear "Fantom" Tempered Glass Screen Protector) thread with pictures and a review please! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tieuthientuan:
look great :D :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] holysavior:
The fantom is a nice concept and i just got mine. It looks and feels great however there are flaws.

As said before the install is super easy. basically its peel the back, stick it on and your done. It wipes off smudges and makes it look brand new. however even after a day or two of having this one. i started to notice that some of my presses weren't working properly. As many of you know a touch screen doesn't mean you need to press down hard to get it to work. In fact sometimes the lightest of touches and it will work just fine. The main problem i have noticed with this is that the "glue/ bonding agent" they have is on the top/bottom and sides. and leaves the middle open. which can be a good thing since it wont ruin your screen. however since this gnex has a curved screen and the creators of fantom said it wouldn't be an issue for me it has. a couple times i pressed down it didn't register because the tempered glass was raised above the screen due to the curve of the phone. this was mainly near the bottom of the screen by the space bar area and soft keys, where the curve is at its most. a couple times you could feel the protector push down and pop up that fraction of an inch and also hear it pop very so slightly . Don't get me wrong its a great idea and its still a nice screen protector but Im starting to have second thoughts on buying it, and whether is was a smart move or just should have kept my ghost armor on the screen.

who knows maybe in time it will bend properly and it will be fine. but that is my opinion on this screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
holysavior: From reading the RootzWiki thread it sounds like some others have your issue, but many do not... maybe contact Xgear for a replacement?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
agree on the above. i almost jumped the gun because i like the idea of a tempered glass protector. but the issue specifically on the bottom part is something to consider
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wolfeman0101:
I haven't had any issues with it not registering touches. My only gripe is it gets a little more smudgy than my other screen protectors. Overall its my favorite screen protector on any phone I've ever had.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thenamesian:
i can confirm that this screen protector is a great idea. however, the bottom 3rd of the screen is missing about 50% of my touches. the middle 3rd of my screen misses about 25% of touches. top 3rd of screen is fine.

the installation was really a breeze - just line up the speaker and camera holes and the rest just falls into place.

faulty design indeed (regarding the greatly reduced touch sensitivity). i will contact XGear when able and see what they say.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] URPREY:
Here's a video I did of the Fantom. Very nice piece. I'm not encountering any issues with screen sensitivity or missed touches on mine.

http://youtu.be/0HLYqAxo0Ys
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shreddintyres:
I'm curious those with screen sensitivity issues which Gnex do you have? Vzw Sprint or GSM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yumfoods:
Hey, guys, thanks for all your info on this screen protector. It looks really cool.

I was just wondering: are any of you using this with a case of some sort? If so, which ones and how does this fit with them?

TIA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] philowneus:
Just got my phantom. Now what I'm about to say is based on not using a screen protector.

What I've noticed in my first 30 minutes:

Glare - oh it definitely has way more reflection. Outside viewing is a pain.

Clarity - I notice the screen protector while scrolling. Like there is a transparent pattern. Sun makes the little dots show. Sun also makes fingerprints show up like you are painting. However, fingerprints wipe clean easily.

Sensitivity - not really noticing a difference. I did use cm dev options to show pressure on screen. It goes down around the edges but I can't confirm that its different then naked. But I can confirm you should just push harder.

Feel - like glass. Its such a beautiful feeling. Just the feel alone makes me never want to use plastic again.

Sound - oddly I notice my taps are louder.

I would wager that this wouldn't be for everyone but for the protection and feel of glass I'm loving it. Its just so hard to not love a naked screen. I'm sure it just takes time to get used to.

I also do not notice the small scratches on my screen with this glass on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gbarayah:
Great review. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedudejdog:
I just got my phantom.

I like it, like others have said the glare and fingerprints are more noticeable than my last screen protector. But I've been applying a new one of those every few weeks because the film ones get scratched themselves. Hopefully this will hold up at least two months, then it'll pay for itself in film-type protectors.

Haven't used it in the sun but in bright lights I can see the dots. In normal indoor lighting I don't notice it. Seems like it isn't even there.

Application was easy. I had to remove it once or twice to get some dust out from under it.

We'll see how it looks at work tonight. It seems like that's where most of my screen-on time takes place.

I haven't noticed it missing touches.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheKanariman:
Hi guys,

I got mine today and I thought i'd give my thoughts as well.

Install was really easy. Just line it up and you're done with no bubbles. It feels very tough and looks like my phone is protected by a museum.

Now few problems..

Too much glare! In a normally lighted room, I can see myself on the screen as I am typing this on my phone. The problem is that with that glaring, due to the thickness of the glass the screen looks like it is somewhat inside the phone. Looks to me like some old PDA in its protective vinyl.

Touch sensitivity...

It is okay but I am getting a few moments where my usual touch is not registered. If I don't get used to this very soon, I have a feeling it will definitely annoy me like crazy. It's missing a few touches as I type right now.

BTW, I have a diztronic matte case with verizon extended battery(2100mah), and it fits nicely. You just have to push in the sides of the cover to let it go over the glass completely.

Overall, I would say get this if you are someone who wants to keep his phone inside a castle. If you are a regular user like me who can tolerate few scratches on your 'cheap screen protector' and use the phone as it should be, then honestly $30 worth of cheap screen protectors is the way to be.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kylerwinters:
Hi I was updating de-senced rom from 1.1 to 1.3. After updating it, I rebooted. It worked fine for 5 mins but then system ui and other apps were crashing so, I restarted my phone. After that it was stuck on the boot logo when I tried starting my phone. When I try to get into recovery. It loads for 1/4 a sec and flashes some text and crashes. I've tried flashing a kernel and a recovery from fastboot but, nothing changes. I tried CMW, WCX and, Team Win recoverys. PLEASE HELP ME! :crying:

BTW, I can get into bootloader.

I upgrade it finally but now I hate ICS.

After the upgrade my phone is to slow even if I reset it twice, flash player don't work at all, webtop act funny and totally different(I like the old one), Some of my apps don't work or crashes alot, its not easy to uninstall apps like 2.3.5&2.3.6, my wifi & GPS went on&off with out doing anything, my GPS apps doesn't work at all, ....

I like the new look of ICS but when its come to the function, its ****ed up!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
You should back up your data, boot into stock recovery or if you're using custom recovery (cwm/bootmenu) and do a factory wipe. It's painful as you'll have to set up your phone again from scratch but it will fix most of your issues with apps crashing.
