I just got this

I received the Skinomi full body skin a couple days ago. I really only wanted back protection, so I only installed the rear skin. It went on easily, the holes lined up nicely, and I was able to work all of the bubbles out with the piece of cheese they included. (Seriously, the squeegee-thing looks like a piece of cheese!)

Two observations: 1: the packaging is completely ridiculous. The spray solution isn't special enough to warrant its own separate packaging. And B: The skin takes fingerprints like a forensic specialist at a crime scene. I can't imagine how gnarly the front skin looks after 5 minutes of use.

Anyway, it's doing the job I asked it to do: protect the back, while being as transparent as possible. Check and Check.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] anwedr:
I agree, the fingerprints are visible. There's a slight orange peel both front and back, but I'm not too bothered by it.

The bubbles are slowly disappearing 3 days later.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Euler MD:
For those of you who did the wet application, how did you manage to protect the speaker grill from the water solution?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] g47:
I absorbed the water that was coming through any edge with the black tissue.

No problem faced.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ocula:
I didn't do much. A bit of water (maybe half a drop to 1 drop) seeped in thru the speaker grill, but it didn't do any damage. I quickly dried off the area using a paper towel, then used a blow dryer on low to slowly blow out the speaker. The speaker still works perfectly now, a week after I applied the back protector.

Just got my Google play bumper and ordered the skinomi. I'll post how it turns out. Wish me luck
[Nexus 4 Accessories] lloda2000:
nice
[Nexus 4 Accessories] knightdaemon:
I installed mine last night, it took an hour for me. Some important tips:

1. Touch the film only with wet fingers, it dries quite fast.

2. Try to have a dust free environment, some dust might fall on the screen between you finished wiping it with the lint free cloth and the time you are ready to put the film on with wet hands.

3. The bubbles will go away as the film let's it pass slowly.

4. Do not press too hard with the plastic to take air out, it might leave faint marks.

So dust and dirt are the main enemy, bubbles will disappear.

I did the back, sides then front last so I get used to putting the film on the most important surface.

I hope this helps!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] immunityx:
Need pics if possible for those that installed
[Nexus 4 Accessories] FatPigs:
I didn't.

Provided you didn't use a ton of 'water' and you squeegee it the right way, the speaker grill should be fine.

On that note, I already dunked half of my Nexus 4 (ear speaker and top mic) into some tea and it dried fine :laugh:

Posted this a few pages back:

I only have one angle for the back portion though since it's nowhere as bad as the one on the front.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] m0h1t:
I got this today, applied it in the afternoon.

I was able to apply the back perfectly, the front had like a million minute bubbles. Now, in about 12 hours almost all of them have gone away, the front protector is sticking perfectly to the curved edges of the screen.

I am amazed at how awesome it looks and how easy it was to apply. This is the best screen protector I have bought till date and I have used zagg before.

Will post pictures in a while

I had a skinomi skin full body for my ion and found it ok , it just took 2 tries to get it on proper.

For my N4 I went with Ghost Armor and the actually had a Ghost armor booth at one of the malls I got to and had them apply it its so sexy :laugh:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] m0h1t:
It has been about 24 hours since I applied it and it has come out extremely well. Have a look at these pictures (Click to zoom)

I am extremely happy with this.

Also I bought two in-case I messed up the first one, since I was able to apply it perfectly in the first go, the second one is up for grabs if anyone is interested in India.

You have a bumper on your N4 in the images of the rear correct? Looks good. How did the front screen protector work once you put the bumper on (read a few others saying it worked fine, just wondering about your experience)?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] m0h1t:
It's fine. The bumper doesn't touch any part of the screen, so taking it on and off, doesn't affect the screen guard.

Nice pictures!

I also bought the Skinomi, looks very good. On my actual Nexus S I'm using the ZAGG Full Body, and the rear protection wasn't very good aligned in my opinion (and I think it wasn't my fault, lol).

We'll see when the Skinomi gets here!

Hello guys,

My skin protector arrived today. I'm still not sure if i'm going to use it.

So my question is: does it leave some kind of trace if you remove the skin?

Thx in advance :)

soapy bubble residue

My original's edges wouldn't stick. I got a freebie, it installed fine, edges held, but it's got some weird bubble residue between the glass and the skin. Since I requested a replacement for my original, I waited for it to replace the freebie..

It too has the weird soapy water / bubble residue. Can't really get it in pictures. Have to tilt the phone to see them.. Not as "good" as my previous gear's techskins..

Anyone else experiencing this?

[Nexus 4 Accessories] shadejinx:
After a couple weeks, this skin kind of looks like crap. Even the smallest scratch or bump, that would otherwise have no affect on the glass if the skin wasn't applied, leaves a gnarly scar. I will probably not buy another one.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] clockcycle:
Something else. Get a clear bag and wet it, then let it fold onto it's self. Or wet saran wrap stuck to it's self. The result is similar.

Humm how can describe it. Ok let oil spill drip down a brown paper bag and dry. That's the look but clear.. I wish I could capture the effect on camera..

It looks like it's an issue with the solution. Never happen before. Didn't happen with my wife's iPhone. Unfortunately I mixed up sprayers.. Lol

Ordered last Thursday night and it came Monday. Pretty quick shipping. Gonna apply it tomorrow. Any tips? I'm using the official bumper. What do you guys recommend?

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tlr1000:
I'm using the Poetic bumper with mine and it pushes on the side of the skin lifting it a bit. I ended up sanding the inside edges of my bumper (maybe 1/4 mm) and it's much better now. Not sure if you'll have to do that with the stock bumper.

Overall, the Skinomi is pretty good. I'd say better than InvisibleShield and Bodyguardz (which I'm very familiar with). My only criticism is that if you put sharp pressure on the skin, it dents and doesn't seem to bounce back or 'heal'.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] m0h1t:
Lol, No sanding required with the original bumper. It doesn't encroach on the edges of the screen/skin

[Nexus 4 Accessories] MyronJ906:
I ended up ordering a carbon fiber full body skin last week. I only applied the back (already had a front from when I initially ordered the clear full body). The sides frustrated me *because I didn't read the instructions and didn't use a blow dryer* so I didn't bother in this case.

I have been thinking that I might like the look with the carbon fiber back better than the original. My main reason was that my back glass was scratching and I'd rather have it covered/prevent further damage. I now have ZERO visible logos, just a mysterious black device.

I attached some pictures of just the back carbon fiber skin using my trusty (severely damaged) Atrix 4G.

I misplaced it *a little bit* and you might be able to tell, but I think overall it blends nicely with the sides. The back skin went on ridiculously easy though. No bubbling or anything
[Nexus 4 Accessories] royalewihcheese:
Just an FYI . . . if you apply a techskin, and have a TPU case . . . yeah, the edges hate you now. As careful and quick as I could be, it still peeled up two edges badly. Had to kinda mush it back under the corners with a credit card, which is not really that easy and stretched those corners out quite a bit.

Overall, though, this is easily the most fantastic screen protector I've ever used. Feels great to the touch, easy to install with the spray soap, the packing is even high-quality with the squeegee and whatnot. Very minimal orange peel, and only when you're looking closely at a bright reflection at a sharp angle. Otherwise it is not even there. So much better than the stiff plastic ones I've been using for years. We shall see how it holds up physically, though.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Deeco7:
Okay, So I received it today. Was happy with the installation, however the seems to be marks on skin, which looks like dust has caught in, but I made sure it was dustfree, so I reapplied and it made no difference. Will Skinomi replace the protector with another under the warranty?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] cyanide911:
Just applied the screen protector and the back. Doesn't look too good right now, but as people say, I guess it'll get better in a day or two.

By the way, I left out the sides. I actually couldn't figure out the side pieces and what goes where. It has upside down 'U' shaped piece which I presume goes all around the device over the top and to the sides, leaving out the bottom. But there's another piece which I can't figure out.

Anyway, I don't think I'll need the side protectors anyway.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] cyanide911:
Wow, this was unexpected. I applied it perfectly, the back less so, but the screen was flawless. 12 hours later, the back has deteriorated with a few bubbles, whereas the screen protector looks awful! Streaks, bubbles, marks everywhere.

I've got one on order , I only got it for the back protection at work so no sand in my pocket scratches the back glass. The front I have a spg ultra oleophobic or what ever its called, great sp.

Has anybody used this Skinomi with the Rinke Hybrid Fusion Case? Does it mess with the protector?

What about the Mercury TPU case?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] g47:
If you install the protector exactly right, there will be no problems.

I have installed my skinomi and was misaligned 1mm ( I think it is even less than that actually) to the left and the protector was being lifted by ringke.

I went back to my bumper and my nillkin flip case and had zero problems.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] PieWai:
Do you have any pictures of that misalignment?

I'm seriously thinking of using the Skinomi (front & back) + Rinke Hybrid Fusion case and would like to know how feasible that is.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
Mercury case will push the corners of any wet SP, Fusion did Ok but I would let your SP settle for a few days before using that case and don't use a SP on back because you'll get a wet spot, the only case I found that worked great was the slim case from XtremeGuard and the bumper I bought at amazon from here http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00B199960/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1365981952&sr=8-1&pi=SL75

Rumors are that in the countries that don't have a Google Play Store LG will distribute the phone but at a much higher price, 500+ Euro (that is 638+ dollar) for the 16GB version.

Oké, 349 Euro in the German Play Store (that 444 dollar), I can live with that. But its still a bit more than the US citizens need to pay, even with taxes.

A while ago, I downloaded a nandroid someone posted from their T-Mobile Galaxy Note II to see if I could pick it apart for wi-fi calling, but I don't use it so I can't really test it and I lost interest. Now, I've packaged up the Wifi Calling app with all of the libs it came with and added in the build.prop from the zip. It might be a lot more than what is needed, but I don't want to have to keep uploading bits and pieces. If you think you have an idea of what you're doing and want to try it out, go for it. I don't really know much about wi-fi calling at all so unless you have some sort of logcat, I'll be of little to no use to you at all. I guess that's about it...

You can use the ics wi-fi calling package to help you out by possibly using it as a reference/using parts/etc.

And here is what I've extracted from that 1GB+ package.

Hm... by the looks of it, it would seem that these are only settings for Wi-Fi calling. So it would seem that you'd have to mod the settings apk to have the option for WiFi calling settings. :/ I'll look into elgins (CM10) source sometime to see if I can add it in. If I can at least get the app starting somewhere, it will be easier for everyone else to debug/fix it up. If anyone has messed with the note 2 and can confirm that WiFi calling is accessed via settings and not launcher (app) that would be helpful as well.
