Mines pretty great too. I had a few tiny bubbles after

24 hours but I pushed them out. Now it looks perfect. Much better then my first install of an XO brand on my galaxy nexus.

I also slapped one on my kids Galaxy Tab. His looks great too.

Textile feedback isn't as noticeable as the XO. Really I dont even notice a difference in usage from a nekkid screen. Sure it has a slightly different feel but wet protectors usually feel tacky at first and get better after about a week. If this gets any better ill have to buy another for my galaxy nexus while they're on sale.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bustinstugots24:
Sorry for the terrible photo but u can see I have tons of bubbles. A good majority of the screen flattened out nicely bit its been 3 days already and the left over bubbles don't appear to be going away. Do u think I should try pushing it out myself or is it too late?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ECBomb:
I think most of the people putting it on for the first time should've tried it on their phones before a tablet to get a feel for how it sold work on a much smaller scale.

I ordered this for my Lumia 710 and it was definitely a trial and error first attempt. I'm not a big fan of the relatively sticky feel either but I can't deny that its much better protection and longer lasting than typical clear or matte screen protectors. I've tried scratching the one on my Lumia and the next day the mark was gone. It definitely does its job but is annoying as hell to apply. The feel is hit or miss I suppose.

Same story here.... Granted this is my 1st wet apply protector, I'm not impressed with this thing at all.

I got one for my HP touchpad as well, debating if I should even bother trying or just send it back for a refund.

Edit: Decided to try the touchpad one, damn thing isnt cut right. This garbage is going back... I've had better luck with the ebay elcheapo's.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] mwalt2:
I put mine on and it looks great (it's been about a week). There's a trick to putting these wet screen protectors on. I've found that you need to squeegee some of the liquid out when installing, but not all. If you squeegee too much out, you'll get worse orange peel though. If you don't squeegee enough, you end up with bubbles that don't go away. You can also remove these protectors, put them in some water for a little while and re-apply them. I've done that several times with ones on my phone.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bustinstugots24:
So no one really responded to my original question so I just decided to push out the bubbles on my own after 3 days. In the end I think it came out pretty good. See for yourself below. Full body protection
[Nexus 7 Accessories] edgie13:
After a few days all the bubbles and fuzzy spots came out on their own. Once you get over the tacky feel, it's actually not too bad. I kind of like it now.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] johnchad14:
Mine is okay after a few days except the vertical "rainbow" lines that mysteriously appeared. About 7 of them running several inches along screen....may be a deal breaker.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] clockcycle:
After 15 mins it's too late, it will create ribbed rippled streaks. Those look like air bubbles, that's why they are still there, they will most likely never go away.

Make sure you run the squeegee thoroughly on the entire screen protector at least a few times to smooth it out. Once it starts drying you will see what appears are water bubbles you missed, those should dry in a day. Depending on the climate in your area ofc.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] larryvand:
This is by far the absolutely WORST screen protector I have ever used.I let it dry for 10 hours here in hot and dry Arizona and the screen would barely respond. It is totally worthless. Don't waste your money. The one thing that the screen protector should never negatively affect is the touchscreen sensitivity. And the XtremeGuard made the touchscreen completely unusable.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] clockcycle:
This is reported to be an issue with other brands of wet install screen protectors as well, not just xtremeguard brand.

I had this issue after 2 hours, portions of the screen that still had moisture didn't allow detection of touch, I guessing due to the liquid and grounding, not allowing electrostatic etc.. 10 hours later it was fine, day in a half later it was better. YMMV
[Nexus 7 Accessories] dbett4:
just curious how does the back feel? i've held off of putting my full body protection because i like the feel of the back on my n7
[Nexus 7 Accessories] LouZiffer:
The wide variations in experience with these screen protectors make me wonder what the major factors are. Is it defects in Xtreme Guard's sourcing/production? Is it the same with ASUS? Is it the material? Is it the install?

I've read bad reports as well as good from folks with plenty of experience with wet installs, so I don't think it's the install itself. Maybe there are environmental factors combined with the material being used, though. I'm still leaning toward manufacturing variances as the main cause.

This was my first wet-install protector, and it's been my best protector so far (I've had a ton of dry install ones on phones). Within an hour touch response was fine. Within a few hours there was no more water. After a week and a half of curing it's hard to tell it's there at all. However, based on the reviews it looks like these are a crap shoot. Either you'll get a good one or you won't.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Fall Guy:
I used what was left of the Skinomi application fluid left over from my SGS2. That did a perfect job except in two places. One was where I touched the sticky side with a dry fingertip on one edge and I didn't line up the bottom edge properly and didn't notice until the following day.

However after careful squeeging the fluid out straight away, the screen touch properties are excellent but not quite as smooth as the glass. And the clarity is very good with the screen on. No bubbles, no orange peel and no rainbow effect. I used the fluid on both front and back of the protector and on my fingers. I only got the screen protector as I don't see the point of having a skin for a rubbery plastic back.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bustinstugots24:
Well I too like the rubbery feel but I rather my nexus 7 be protected. Its going in a case either way so it's not like I'll really have it in my hand anyway. You lose the rubbery feel and just feel like very slick tight plastic on the back. It feels more slippery then the front did but I noticed the front is starting to loose that sticky feels after using it for a day or two. I actually don't think the protector is that bad anymore, especially for the price we got them for how can you complain?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] goku16:
Tried to install 1 today' got frustrated, its harder than i think, bubbles everywhete:mad:

I have 15 fronts, 5 backs for my SGS3, 2 for my Atrix 4G, 2 for my Focus (took advantage of two special coupons and $1 deal) there was an error with my 2nd order, so they resent me the whole order again free and now 7 for my Nexus 7 - all ordered in on different deals weeks/months apart.

Besides the 'black specks".. They, the ones I have actually installed, are performing as well as my Zagg, Armorsuit and Skinomi wet install protectors from the past.

So far in reading, most of the people with an issue are people that have never used and or just never liked "wet install" type protectors in the first place. Or else they wouldn't have an issue with what some call the "rubbery feel"..

For the protection and longevity of the product, and I lump all wet install "military grade" protectors the same. They have been well worth their $10-24 I've paid in the past. So far, xtremeguard is performing as well as those more expensive versions and on par with shieldguard (another "inexpensive" [they were free, you just paid $2.53 shipping per] protector that closed shop) I had that same protector on my Sprint EVO 4G for 2 years..

So IMHO YMMV - user preference, or error..

EDIT: One qualm is the U cut for the camera, instead of a nice neat circle O. And no cut out for the ambient light sensor.

Wow my screen protector was delivered in just about a day. It is kind of grippy. Applying wasn't a big deal. I did mess it up their is small white dust particle even though I thoroughly clean the surface before applying it. I like it over all.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] jtc276:
Do the vertical lines go away after a couple of days? That's my only problem with the protector as of now.

Installed a xtremeguard and my x series tpu case, on my 2nd replacement (3rd unit) although this one is not responding to touches, I didn't bother to test it before installing the protector, as I didn't want to get finger prints on it and have to clean it off.. This happened with my previous one as well, but it sporadically responded and got better every hour it dried, not the same on the new one. Also another observation, this is the first of my 3 units that didn't come re-sealed with double tape...

I have to "really" touch/tap to get through the set up.

-CC

EDIT: Few hours later, responsive, but have 2 air bubbles. 24 hours later, "rubbery" feel almost gone, smooth finger glide, air bubbles permanent (installation error)..

+1 ^^
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bernmc:
I don't know what all the whining is about. READ the instructions. WATCH the install video. Then do it :highfive:.

You DO NOT need to spend hours trying to iron out every bubble (READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!). Wet it, line it up, smooth out the big bubbles. Wipe off excess moisture, then put the tablet down and bugger off for 24 hours. DON'T mess with it. Find another toy. Walk the dog. :silly:

I got front and rear protectors. They both took around 10 minutes to install, with a couple of returns to smooth down the edges of the curved back protector as they dried. Lots of tiny little bubbles when I was done (AS EXPECTED). Looked like a cobbled street.

24 hours later all that remains are one or two tiny bubbles, and they're slowly going too. No problems with touch. Swiping is slightly more sticky than glass.

If you're too stupid to follow instructions, then you should have got an iPad along with all the other little iSheep, and paid the nice iMan in the iShop 50 bucks to install a protector for you. Android devices are for people capable of independent thought. :cool:

There's absolutely nothing wrong with this protector, and it's very cheap. Can't comment on longevity yet - we'll see how things go.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ThunderTech:
Is a screen protector really necessary to protect the Corning Gorilla Glass that is built into the Nexus 7?

Having watched the Gorilla Glass demos, I can't see what protection a screen protector will provide that the Gorilla Glass doesn't.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] clockcycle:
Google Nexus 7 does not have gorilla glass, it has a new thinner corning glass. I already scratched my first unit easily.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Souai:
its not gorilla glass. its corning scratch resistant glass.

and even if it were gorilla glass, it wouldnt be perfect. look around these forums and other forums and you'll see loads of people who have cracked or scratched their gorilla glass. gorilla glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.

these screen protectors are thick and can go over the edge a bit, which will dampen the vibrations in the case of a drop and reduce the risk of a crack. they also use the shield heal system, which uses a polymer (similar to what nissan use in their 370z) that will rejoin with itself to repair scratches over time. this is something gorilla glass cant do.

i dunno about you, but when i spend $300 on a good product (yes, google inflated the nexus 7 price over here), i consider <$20 for a high quality screen protector and case to be very cheap and effective insurance.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] clockcycle:
I just received a replacement to my order and I must say, these are not the same as the originals.

They are thicker, more rubbery feeling (although this may be the backing and not the actual protector I'm feeling), the backing is translucent, the edges are lifted and peeling from it's backing. Not the same "quality" IMO..

Although I have not applied one yet, I am sticking with my original until it fails me..

YMMV - buyer be aware...
[Nexus 7 Accessories] OrangeX:
Too sticky

I've had mine for a week now. No bubbles after application, very smooth and clear. But the feel of the screen protector is a bit too sticky for my liking. My fingers does not slide as smoothly as before the protection. I'm thinking of getting a different brand.

Any suggestions?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Before getting these, I had the XO skins installed. Another wet installation. The xo skin had a speck of dust that I had missed during the install and also had some sort of glitter on it when it dried. Weird because I installed this at work, not at my 4 yr olds classroom lol. I removed it and emailed xo and they are sending me a replacement.

Thankfully, I jumped on the chance to buy these xtreme ones with the coupon code that made it out to 4 bux for two. I installed these last Friday 8/10 and it went on pretty smooth. Fast forward today (8/14). There are still like 4 bubbles showing!!! I let it go to let it dry since Friday. Got fed up today looking at the stupid bubbles lol. I initially tried using the credit card squeegee wrapped in a microfiber cloth, but that didn't work. About an hour ago, saw a rounded plastic ended pen and used that to work out the bubbles to the corners or to dissipate the bubbles to a smaller amount for the water bubble to dissipate eventually.

Now I am happy :).
[Nexus 7 Accessories] biggiestuff:
If you get air bubbles just get a needle and poke it. Voila. GONE! water bubbles? same deal.

i installed it yesterday and now nexus 7 has short vertical rainbow lines throughout the screen, do they go away?

[Nexus 7 Accessories] pwnerman:
i used to have one of these for my galaxy note that i sold forever ago but i hated it. it was so sticky and felt weird even days after i applied it. It essentially made the s pen useless. I know i'm talking about a different device but I don't think their manufacturing process has changed since then. I personally bought a 2 dollar dry apply screen protector off eBay and must i say it came in very nice card stock like packaging with the screen protector very well protected inside. I applied it and i must say it looks and feels just like a Spigen screen protector you would pay 22 bucks for no lie. (Read the little insert before you go asking for a refund) The streaks on the protector are explained and are normal. Mine also has the one corner raised just a little on the corner when I applied it didn't adhere when I laid it down. Don't worry this is a safeguard in-case there is dust and you need to pull it up just a little to get some dust. VERY WELL made and the presentation is top notch as well. Just my recommendation.

Installation a pain in the BUTT. I went through two sets and extremeguard gave me a hard time on return.

Also water had to get in the iphone. I was stupid-why would I add water to an electronic item. Funny so much work for what? Dry installs easier and looks better and no chance of water in iphone. What am I missing!!!

A huge waste of money!

Xtreme guard review

This is my review of a couple of Xtreme guard protectors.

Hope it will be helpful.

youtube.com/watch?v=am8cXGAhTLQ
[Nexus 7 Accessories] SPEEDHAMMER:
This is my version of the review:

Pros:

+Exremely cheap and outstanding value for money

+Does its job and its very tough and scratch resistant.

+Does not affect screen clarity at all and any imperfections are invisible once the screen is lit.

+Wet installation is fairly easy: It was only my second time installing a screen protector and its sat nicely;no bubbles,no gaps

+No discoloration and loss of adhesion spotted so far after 2 months of usage

+They have a nice looking and cheap case for the Nexus 7 which is defenitely the steal of the month in terms of accesories.

Cons:

-Texture of the protector is rubbery and 'tacty'. (Although this can be partly solved by seasoning it over a week.

Secret tip: Clean the screen protector every 3/4 days and rub or polish in a small drop of clean odouress baby oil or lubricant. The smooth effect will last for the next 3 days. Repeat this and by 1 month,your Xtremeguard screen protector will be as smooth as rival brands' goods

-It attracts dust and stains quite easily and the dust will attribute to the rubbery feel. Thats why cleaning the protector is important

All in all, the line of screen protectors do their job perfectly. If you are willing to do some extra work and bear with the texture, its a steal. But if you are looking for a screen protector that has no compromise in terms of texture and if you do a large amount of swiping across the screen,you might want to look elsewhere. But then again, you can always buy the protector for your other devices that you dont play with as often. Because at this price,it can be bested anytime soon. At least you can have the piece of mind with having military grade protection for your screen.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] junkaholic:
love it

Can't believe all the negative reviews on this product. I think the cut is great, I had bought a few screen protectors to try them out. I went with Xtreme Guard first, then a cheap one (Ionic screen protector) which was cut significantly smaller than the screen, so I went back to Xtreme Guard, this time on both sides.

The process takes some time but is worth it. The instructions clearly tell you that the haziness and bubbles will go away as the product dries in place. It tells you to have your phone 'cold' when applying and ideally to not turn on your phone for 24 hours. Did any of you whiners do that?

It said put a large dollop of dish soap into a cup of water. I wore latex gloves to fingerprints and oil would not be an issue. Thoroughly and religiously cleaned my screen under a bright light with a lint free cloth. Generously coated the screen in soapy water. It slides TOTALLY easy when it's wet, I don't know what you all are posting. The fit of this product is very good, it covers almost every bit of my screen. Especially the back piece, it fits perfectly around the kevlar, ending right with the metal band begins. And with the back, the instructions said, "be patient with the curved back, come back to it", and indeed I did and currently, about 14 hours since applying, the thing looks immaculate.

I turned it on this morning to check my messages but went right back off, I will wait the 24 hours they recommend.

The feel of it was sticky on applying but after drying it's this nice "thick" feel. I like it.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bsoplinger:
I know I dislike that "thick" feeling. That's why I prefer the cheap 4 for 10 bucks or less style ones. I also like the way the mat ones cut down on glare although at the cost of slightly changed colors.

Hi,

I am a new comer to this forum. A few days ago I rooted my samsung galaxy s2, GT I9100 phone using CF root kernel (CF-Root_SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3CWM5.tar). However, later on I found that my external sd card is not accessible and not even shown in the directories, using any of the file managers(OI file manager,X-Plore, ES-file manager etc.). I also installed Resurrection and remix custom ROM, version 2.6.1).

Going back to more reading on XDA, I learned that this root kernel is having this issue and the corrected one is CF-Root_SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4CWM5.tar. Now, my issue are:

01. can I root my phone again using this correct root kernel?

02. If so, will this second rooting may brick my phone?

03. Or, do I need to un root and root it again?

Please help me solve this issue...

Regards

Anuruddha
[General Questions and Answers] iKoolkid:
Well, you do not need to root it again cause it already is, it will only brick if you use an incompatible kernel

and no you don't need to unroot and root again.
[General Questions and Answers] TeeJay3800:
Even that shouldn't brick a device. People are FAR too quick to use the term "brick" and think that it happens FAR too easily. Flashing an incompatible kernel, at worst, would not allow the ROM to boot. In which case you simply boot into recovery, perform a full wipe, and flash a different ROM.

How to root again with the corrrect root kernel

Hi,

thanks a lot for everybody's suggestions, however let me clear myself a bit more on this;

I have rooted my phone using correct root kernel, but it((CF-Root_SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.3CWM5) has a bug that does not identify the external sd card. However, by reading on xda I understood that a fixed for this bug is available with a version of the same root kernal (CF-Root_SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4CWM5).

My question is;

How can I use this correct root kernel by wiping the existing buggy root kernel? Is there a way to do it without any trouble to my phone???:(

appreciate all experts advice.
