You did receive the real thing. I just received my replacement today and it contains the same "Stealth Shieldz" card as my first order that you mentioned.

I just received my replacement order from XtremeGuard and it matches exactly to your envelop. The only difference is the date it was mailed, and the actual order.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] USSENTERNCC1701E:
This is the same envelope as comes from the XtremeGuard site. When I asked for a replacement, they sent in an envelope that says PS PRESTIGE SOLUTIONS with a local address printed under it (the replacements had a proximity sensor cut out). I have three shipments from them overall, the other two came in that envelope pictured. Two came with cards that said XtremeGaurd, one came with a Stealth Shieldz card. All three cards say © Prestige Solutions at the bottom.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] KevinChaos:
Yes. I have. It's great.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jickman:
I notices something tho, my first screen protector which i putted on for literally a day, i used detergent and water. Im not sure was the proportion in correct or something but i did notice there's tend to be more rainbowly looking lines across the screen when i turn it on. While today i got my cutted proximity version, I looked for my zagg solution and i notice that when i spray it and apply it on there's no rainbowy looking lines which is a relief.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] nyyankees3511:
the replacements arent the same, they are thicker. they sent me a replacement and it came in as stealth shieldz which is their brand, but the original is a much nicer film so thats why im living with the lines for now.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Since I had one screen protector that had a defect, I decided to experiment with it. I cut it into strips and tried different applications: Soap&Water, Water, Windex, and Dry. Initial impression;

Soap&Water: easy to align, no air bubbles, minimal rainbow, minimal orange peel, moderate drag.

Water: easy to align, no air bubbles, no rainbow, moderate orange peel, moderate drag.

Windex: easy to align, no air bubbles, moderate rainbow, minimal orange peel, minimal drag.

Dry: difficult to align, scores of very tiny air bubbles, minimal rainbow, moderate orange peel, minimal drag.

Going to try again Thursday to see what waiting more than 24 hours changes. I think in day to day use even the moderate rainbow, orange peel, and drag would not be too distracting. I'm hoping the rainbow from the windex application goes away, initially it is my favorite.

I also did two test strips one with soap&water and one with windex, where it did not squeegee out all of the fluid, just smoothed it out. Initially these two have almost no orange peel or drag at all, very slightly less of both on the windex, definite rainbow on both though, with more on windex. Will certainly have to wait >24hours on these to see.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Freshly_Snipes:
What is this "orange peel" you guys keep speaking of?

---------- Post added at 04:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 AM ----------

Oh you have the rainbow too? Are they really that bad?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] narta:
Yeap Prestige Solutions is the company name. I have more than ten shipments with them, ebay and direct from site (and the are sending a new, with cutouts replacement for the N4, and that's why I am a repeat customer, excellent customer service) and all came from Prestige Solutions
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ketjr81:
Orange peel, they are talking about the smoothness of the screen protector. Is the screen protector perfectly smooth like the actual screen or not smooth.

Or that's my assumption for now, I used to use that same term when painting, if it wasn't perfectly smooth it would have an orange peel effect.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Freshly_Snipes:
Gotcha... Mine is smooth as glass. Just got the rainbow effect. It's killing my eeyo.. I almost want to take it off but I'm not risking anything until the new ones get here.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DforDesign:
Did anyone of you order after 26th of November and recived version with sensor cutouts? I ordered 6 of them and it takes like 20 days to ship to me, so I would not like to wait another 20 to get the replacement:D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Josh98:
I ordered on the 25th and got ones with cut outs :)

In the UK and received mine yesterday so only took 10-11 days in the end, was impressed.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DforDesign:
You got thanked for giving me a piece of hope;)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gagdude:
Actually, I think orange peel is this effect where the screen protector gets tinted an orange color. If you search Zagg orange peel and go on Google Images you can see for yourself
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nyyankees3511:
Yes, I do. The lines are fairly common but the newer film they sent me is too thick and rubbery and not as clear.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Stryder5:
I thought it was referring to the texture of the skin. It will look bumpy like the skin of an orange. It won't look smooth like glass.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] clockcycle:
Orange Peel effect is the protector is "pitted" like an orange's skin. Well not exactly but i'll let the picture speak for it's self;

Like this example of a Zagg Protector;

WARNING: The worse thing about XtremeGuard protectors is they cloud up because of facial sweat and oils permanently. But are good cheap back protection. There is a chance to permanently whiten or cloud up the protector depending on the strength and type of detergent you use in your solution as well.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
just got my email back from xtremeguard website asking if they could do a replacement of my ebay order and this was the response i got

obvioulsy, same company.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] to0:
Bought mine on eBay on 11/26 and didn't have sensor cutouts and my proximity sensor doesn't work even a little bit. Left positive feedback before trying the sensor out, then e-mailed them about the sensor issue and they apologized for the inconvenience and told me a new one with cutouts is on the way. Great customer service and a great product at a very inexpensive price. I'll never use a cheap Chinese static protector again.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] MontAlbert:
I got an email back from them. That user xtreme_guard is their official eBay account
[Nexus 4 Accessories] phil001:
Anyone else have this on as well as an s line tpu case?

Mine looked good to start with but it's peeling up the edges in loads of places now
[Nexus 4 Accessories] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Something I've noticed, for if you pull up a section of screen protector and reply it. With soap&water and windex and dry, it reapplies with all the properties of dry apply. But with plain water it does not properly re-adhere and causes significant visual distortion. After drying overnight all three wet apply methods are nearly identical, water is very slightly crisper. I only notice the difference two or so inches away and with the bare screen baseline right next to it. Dry has not changed at all. Whereas with the wets there is hardly any rainbow left at all.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ketjr81:
This is the first time I've heard of using orange peel effect for an orange color? But I've never used the Zagg protectors either. Always heard about it talking about the texture.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Emama:
Yes it should be about the texture
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gagdude:
My mistake. I misinterpreted something Skinomi said about their screen protectors
[Nexus 4 Accessories] rodeo_calling:
I'm planning on buying these on eBay.

What do you guys think about applying these using zagg spray?

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Emama:
Why do u need to buy a spray if the official web clearly say you can just make the solution with a drop of soap
[Nexus 4 Accessories] rodeo_calling:
Well because people have had varying experiences with water and different solubles in it. Thought it would just be safer bet with the spray. Besides I don't mind spending a couple of bucks on it.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gagdude:
That's actually my plan. I already own a zagg application solution and I'll be using that when I apply the xtremeguard screen protector
[Nexus 4 Accessories] USSENTERNCC1701E:
So, my testing got cut short, but I believe they had enough time to fully dry. All three wet apply ended up with near identical qualities after drying, that is minimal rainbow, minimal orange peel, and moderate drag. Water apply once dry was ever so slightly crisper, had to be right up on it to know, and could only tell because I had each and the naked screen all right there. So, in the end I don't think it really matters which of the three you use,

My testing got cut short by another experiment which got out of hand, rubbing alcohol. Do not apply these with rubbing alcohol, it dissolves them. It was kinda cool, immediately it eliminated the orange peel effect. And then I started noticing that the squeegee was scratching the protector. Finally the protector started peeling up at the edges and rolled itself right up.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SovereigN7:
The cut outs for the revised model should be on the top left?

I just received my order and there are the usual cut outs for the back, and on front the only thing I notice is the curved cut for the front facing camera.

Let me know how it goes. I'm gonna order mine today.

Sure thing, but I don't have my N4 yet -_- according to the time estimates that were given on Google Play, it should be shipping in the next 1-2 weeks. Already ordered the sp though so I'm good on that

Guys i have a question... this is posted via regular mail right, not UPS or something... reason im asking is because if i order these and there is noone home to recieve it, will they just leave it at the door or slide it in, or do they need a signature or something for acceptance... because i need to have these delivered before the 12th but noone will be home to recieve... if they need it all verified like amazon shipments and stuff, then ill need to deliver it somewhere else where someone can actually sign it off...

thanks...!

Oh also, i hope the new protectors being ordered are with all the right cutouts rather than the way the proximity sensor was having issues in the old ones.... ?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Stryder5:
It's delivered as a regular letter so it will go to your mailbox.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
I emailed them again for a second replacement t as the replacement they sent me had no cutouts. another in the mail on its way, awesome customer service!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dynastyy:
Hi can anyone confirm that I have the correct screen protectors with the correct cutouts? I dont have my phone yet and am not able to check.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Emama:
This one is the cut out one
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dynastyy:
ok thanks so I wont have any issue with it being blocked?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Stryder5:
Correct.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] khanh1289:
Just received my phone this morning and the first thing I did was installed XG on it. It is very smooth and clear. I am a very satisfied customer.

Note: When I first installed it, there were a moderate amount of bubble; however, after 3 hours or so, those bubbles were easily pushed off by my nails. I installed it mostly dry, only using a bit of water on my finger to prevent oil imprints on the protector.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] phil001:
Just got my replacements with cut outs.

Seems very blurry compared to last one, and got dust all under the edges.

1st one went on perfect, real shame it didn't have cut out.

Seems different material
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DHTC:
Got mine yesterday, unfortunately did not get the revised version but is on its way to me.

Are you lot finding the backs cut to the right size? Mines not and there is a gap where it is not covered. Also its not as smooth as I thought it would be, its really rubbery. Backs fine as it gives extra grip.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] chiensibut:
i installed the screen protector on with soak water, i think some water get under the screen, now my front camera is foggy, i turned the phone off and put it in bucket of rice, i hope it went away... Am i doing it right? any suggest before i ****ed up my phone, please help!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] khanh1289:
You guys should try dry install and only use soap water on your fingers to prevent oil residue

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Emama:
Did you use a lot of water?

It should not get under the screen if you use suitable amount of water only.

what you can do is wait and see how it looks after it dry out
[Nexus 4 Accessories] chiensibut:
not alot, just enough to make the screen slide for me to align, and squeeze water to the sides :(
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Stryder5:
This may seem obvious, but did you try wiping the camera yet? Also, was the camera blurry before you applied the protector?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Don't worry, though since you've already turned it on it's a little to late for this advice, but you should let it dry for a full 24 hours in the future.

Anywho, that will go away, it just takes a day or so. Cause I rarely follow that advice I gave, I've seen this before on other devices. I actually had this happen once just because it was raining outside. By just because it was raining outside I mean flash floods in 10 minutes torrential downpour just raining outside, as I was on my way to the bar, so I couldn't get out of the rain.

Yeah, sometimes this happens, just wait it out, won't permanently damage anything.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SovereigN7:
Sent them an email for a request for the revision model and received a confirmation of shipment. There is no doubt that custom service is one of the best I've ever had, if only the their product quality would be similar I'd be ecstatic :laugh:

Anyway, seems like a lot of people are having trouble applying the liquid to the screen. I haven't yet applied it myself, but will be using a small spray bottle that I got from zagg along with the screen protector.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ketjr81:
What is the usual shipping time? I ordered last Friday I think, still haven't received it. Only reason I care is because I got my phone today.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gagdude:
I just got mine today, a week after I purchased them.

Wanted to post an update:

They told me I'd have replacement guards within 5-11 days and they arrived three days later. The new ones have a cutout for the sensors and everything is perfect now. Great company and products, highly recommended.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] B97:
My curved sides aren't sticking, any tips?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] rushfunn:
website is too cheap as compared to eBay and worth buying two with 70off1, I ordered more with 80off3 ... thanx
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Stryder5:
Try to get rid of the water so it dries a little bit. It should stick properly once it's less wet.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] robollama:
Got mine today! I also received ones that already have 2 cut outs for the front sensors. Applie to front and back, now I'm letting them dry. How long should I really wait before using the phone? The paper said 8-24 hours but that seems excessive...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Stryder5:
If you wish to use it immediately, be very careful and don't put it in any pockets. It really does take a while for the skin to fully cure and stick to the phone.

I left mine alone overnight, and was very careful using it the next day. Only after a full 24 hours passed, did I dare to put it in my pocket. I really don't want my edges to peel off like they did in the past, which is why I was pretty careful with this part.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] robollama:
What about just turning it on?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Stryder5:
When I say use it, I meant moving it around or gripping it. Any actions that can potentially move the skin around would be detrimental to it. If you are very careful, you can turn it on and still use it. I would just take care to pay attention to your actions to ensure the skin does not get moved or no new bubbles get formed during this time. Pay close attention to the edges to make sure they stay down. It's best to leave it alone, but if you need to use it, just take notice of what I mentioned and you should be fine. Worked for me!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gqukyo:
I love Xtremeguards, use them for every device I have. I didn't think there was a current coupon out there so I bought it for full price at $10. Using the 80off3 coupon, getting 3 still cost less than paying full price for 1... sigh... well I ordered 3 extra ones anyway since it's so cheap... doubt I'll ever use it... I still have 2 iPad ones I never used... anyways, I highly recommend these screen protectors, they feel great to the touch as well.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Lucke:
just purchased a few of these using the 80off3 code... hope i get them soon
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tazmania12345:
I got my 3 protectors a few days ago but two of them were damaged. I emailed and within 12 hours i got a response that replacements are on their way. Excellent customer service!

I put the last screen protector on using soap and water and it fit PERFECT. The slight water bubbles were gone within 24 hours and the screen is smooth and near perfect. Only bad thing is that very small parts of the edges look a little worn out but it's just because they didn't stick 100%. I think that will go away after a bit but my case will cover the edges anyway. I really recommend these!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ntt1409:
ordered 16 days ago and it never comes ==!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Stryder5:
Contact them. Took 6 days to get mine. They have great customer service!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] blee026:
I ordered three and it came without the proximity sensor cut out, so i emailed them and they gladly sent a automated msg for re-delivery. It finally came but only 1 set of the cuts came not three. Wondering should i ask for a refund.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ketjr81:
Got my order in today, took one week and I have the proximity sensor cut out. I went ahead and installed today since I'm waiting for my number to be ported over on my new plan.

I was a little worried about the sides on the front screen because they are curved. I just installed the front and left the edges, installed the back and by then the sides on the front were dry enough to where they would stick. But when I installed I used a bit of water, looks like other people prefer using less water and the edges at the time of installation might not be an issue.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Nexus MC:
So I installed this Skin once the N4 arrived. My first time using wet application skin on phones and actually like it
[Nexus 4 Accessories] robollama:
Alright man, thanks for your help!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] shahram0:
For some strange reason, mine dried to have more bubbles :\ I have no idea what I did wrong, because this isn't my first time doing a wet install. Any suggestions? I had to completely take it off and redo it but now it has little grey bubbles from where the adhesive was drying? (I think) So I had to reorder, kind of upset about it but oh well, this phone deserves the utmost perfection and protection.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] lostmybandaide:
Wow, I paided for a Skinomi on amazon.com the other day before i do any research here :( just installed it 5 mins ago and it already has a scratch on the protector. wish i saw this earlier. bought 3 for $6.00
[Nexus 4 Accessories] khanh1289:
Install it as dry as possible.. when the water bubbles evaporates it leaves bubbles. I installed it mostly dry and it looks and feel as if nothing's there

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Accessories] AngkorDeNNiS:
When I got my phone last night, I applied it in wet water and got it done flawlessly without any bubbles and all the water evaporated eventually. However, today while I was pulling my Nexus in and out of my pockets, the top left piece of the screen protector started to come off and now it's filled with lint ouch. Luckily I have three more left lol, so I'll probably apply another one again I'm a few days or so, or just keep this the way it is for now.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Stryder5:
That's why it's suggested to wait up to 24 hours. I didn't put it in my pocket until 24 hours had passed. I was also very careful about handling the phone during that time if I did use it.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] AngkorDeNNiS:
Yep, unfortunately I needed my phone today for a trip, and it was going to be in a pretty rough place doing restoration work and other stuff. Since these were the only screen protectors I had on me, I just figured what the hell, its only one, and it should be fine in eight hours. Looks like that wasn't such a great idea. I'll probably reapply mine tomorrow again.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] RiCh_vRS:
Just got my front and back protectors today. I have just installed the front one without any problems. It's looks not too bad so far and hopefully once it dries out it will look a lot better.

I placed the back protectors on the back of the device and they look as if they are all quite short. If I place it in the center there seems to be a bit of a gap all around. Did anyone else have this problem too?

I'm not sure whether to remove the factory protector with the IMEI or just to leave it as it is, as that covers the whole back of the phone. Did anyone install the xtremeguard protector over the factory one?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] AngkorDeNNiS:
I kept the back of my Nexus with the factory protector and the IMEI number on it as well. I have a case and I figured that as long as it is protected already, I'd just put the case over it and it'd be all fine. If you have a case, there's no point in changing the back in my opinion.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] RiCh_vRS:
Thanks, I was thinking of doing the same thing.

I think I will hold of putting the back protector on for now as I do have an S Line TPU case on it's way which I was going to use until something better comes out. Tbh I'm not really a fan of using cases either as it ruins the look and feel of the phone.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] AngkorDeNNiS:
I really don't like cases myself, but the one I have is extremely nice in my opinion. It's the Nillkin Hard Shell Matte Case in black. It's a simple snap on case that is extremely low profile, snug, and provides a great feel to the phone. It doesn't look out of place or anything, you should probably look into it if you're looking for a nice low profile case. You can get then for about $8.50 on eBay.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] RiCh_vRS:
That case looks pretty good actually. I think I will order one and try it out. I had the S Line one on my Infuse and it made it fell bulky so I ended up not using it. All of the Nillkin ones on eBay look like that they ship from China, I hope it doesn't take forever to come. I suppose I can use the S Line one in the mean time.

Thanks for the recommendation. :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] AngkorDeNNiS:
No problem :), and yeah most of them ship out from China. I got mine from a seller called ed.city or something like that, they were able to get it to me within a week of my purchase date, which is really quick considering it's coming from China. Cheers and good luck!
