I have the same problem with a different screen protector I got from ebay and I set the power button to hang up calls, it's under Accessibility in the Settings menu.

Edit: I already requested the new screen protectors but I decided to give the ones without a cutout a try and they mess with my proximity sensor just like the ones I got from ebay.

80% off is back, just placed my order
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Alicklee:
Did everyone remember to take the back clear sticker off before applying the skin? I hope everyone did

Sent from my blazing fast nexus 4 o yeah baby this phone is awesome
[Nexus 4 Accessories] intern:
Exactly same here, the ones I got from eBay were the exact same. I ended up lifting the edge of the XtremeGuard today and snipping a bit off, works fine now for until I get the replacements.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] frigidazzi:
I got the full protection, but only put on the back part and don't plan to put on the front. I just wanted something to basically not make the phone slide around. So I just finished applying the back. I did it about 5 complete times. The first time I had it just perfect except a piece of fuzz some how got back there. Took it off, cleaned everything and did it again. This time when squeegeeing the water the protector moved a bit and I didn't notice until the end. Repeat 4 more times LOL. and I have it about as perfect as I think I'm ever going to be able to get it. There's a few small spots that hopefully come out over the next couple days.

That all said.

1) I think it gives enough grip to accomplish what I wanted to not let it slide and hopefully from anything that might be on a surface that I set my phone down on from scratching.

2) I hope I never have to do this again. You need to have very calm steady approach...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dorqus:
Just ordered mine tonight, hopefully it will come with the cut outs for the proximity sensor already in place.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] intern:
Yeah, application is actually pretty tough. I keep getting little bits of dust caught underneath.. Apparently if you run some hot water and generate some steam in the room before you do it it helps..
[Nexus 4 Accessories] frigidazzi:
Just realized a bunch of tiny marks (not air like I thought at first) that I probably put on when pushing out the water. Had anyone that's done it know if those come out after a couple days too? (I'm assuming not).

I really like the grip it gives, which its what I wanted.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Girn:
That's what I did on my old phone and had zero dust. The steam pushes the dust outta the air
[Nexus 4 Accessories] red12355:
Yeah they disappear after a couple days.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nivlac978:
Proximity sensor works on mine by the way, without cutting.

Mine did, and I effed mine up pretty bad. Wait a day, then try to scratch them off.

Phone Screen Cloudiness after use.

review/update-ish

Hey guys, I usually push and promote Xtremeguard when they have specials for our devices, as they are great protection and just as good as most of the wet install military protectors. I have had them on my Focus, Atrix, S3 and N7. Usually buy many to take advantage of the prices.

But a word of warning, the ones I got for my S3 and the latest ones since. Cloud up when they get sweat on them and then no longer appear clear. It doesn't distract from protecting the device, just takes away from the "vividness".. Not to mentioned the ANNOYING black specks that come shipped with them... grrr..

I peeled off the one on my iphone and used a skinomi instead. I have ordered a skinomi for my N4 as well, since it doesn't have the same results.

It's been fine on my N7 since I never have to hold that to my face ;)

EDIT: BTW that still doesn't stop me from buying a few, at $1 each part, I use the backs often as protection.

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 AM ----------

They dry after a few days. Watch out which detergent you use with your water/liquid spray. Some cloud it up permanently.

Do not try to finger nail push any bubbles. Do not try to push bubbles out after it's been applied for 15mins, you will stretch, crinkle the protector, which doesn't go away.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Argenist:
I ordered a full skin this past Sunday and it just came in the mail today. They sent me an older version without the prox cutout so I sent an email in hopes I can RTS this one.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
im pretty sure they will let you keep that one and just send another. just contact them, their customer service is on point! :good:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] eliter1:
I let the version without the proximity sensor dry over night and It looks VERY nice, especially considering the price and how expensive the "name" brands can be. After it dried, even the proximity sensor is working and I already ordered replacements since it wasn't working last night. Guess I'll have extras.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] wazka2:
Anyone know any uk seller for these?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] frigidazzi:
Thanks I'll give it some time then see what I can do with it.

---------- Post added at 03:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

Anyone using the back protector with wireless charging? After 40-60 mins on the Energizer one the phone was kind of stuck to the dock from heat (which the tpu case did a little too), but more importantly there's a noticeable circular blob right where the charging coils are. Anyone else?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] elarella:
I was wondering if those that are having issues with the screen protector screwing up the proximity sensor, are you guys testing the sensor right after putting the protector on or a few days after the protector has a chance to dry and most of the bubbles have disappeared? I ordered the full body kit, but I haven't received it yet, so I was just curious.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mZimm:
Mine worked fine immediately after applying, but it seems the proximity sensors have varying levels of sensitivity.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] eliter1:
Mine worked only after I let it dry over night.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SIGUEL:
Just put the front part an immediately had to take it off, just gonna roll with the back cover only till a replacement is sent.

IMEI sticker is on the factory protective film, so when you remove that, the IMEI sticker comes off with it, don't really have a choice to leave it on.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] phixional:
Having no issues with proximity sensor, even in low light areas as soon as I take the phone away from my ear it lights right up.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SIGUEL:
Yeah just noticed that, dumb me. The back part really adds a ton of grip and protection, sadly the front doesn't work right this time.

so hard to apply a wet one without trapping dusts underneath..

I have dust under both front and back.....
[Nexus 4 Accessories] intern:
It really is. If people have tips, bar do it where there is steam, I'd love to hear them..
[Nexus 4 Accessories] FatalityBoyZahy:
Video has been removed?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] eliter1:
How are you guys getting dust under them? I installed 2 of them perfectly yesterday in about 5 minutes. I just clean the device, apply solution to my fingers, device and screen protector and put it on. Some people let hot water run in the bathroom to let the steam get the dust out of the air. I have never had dust get under mine so I have never done it.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Emama:
I may try that next time. I always make sure there is no dust on the phone before applying. But still always having one or some at the end.

The main problem is when I applied the dry one, if I see dust I can simply raise that part and stick the dust with a tape.

When applying the wet one, there is no way to get that out when you see the dust, it stick onto the SP so tight, and if I use a tape the stick it, it simply stick to the SP and screw everything...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] eliter1:
You can remove it within like 5 minutes and then just put more solution on it and remove the dust or lint. You can't use tape with wet SPs but if you apply more solution it will be fine to use again. You just have to be careful when removing and make sure not to stretch it out.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] red12355:
Keep the phone under a bright light so you can see all the dust on the screen. Use a clean microfiber cloth to wipe off all the dust and put on the screen protector before more dust has a chance to land on it. If you can't get a clean microfiber cloth, just wash your hands and use your fingers.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] n82k:
I have some dust remover tapes from mofi that work extremely well. If you have enough dust in the air after that or even cleaning well with a cloth. I suggest cleaning your house/office.

Got mine put on last night, 12 hours on, got quite a lot of tiny bubbles, hoping they will go away soon...!

Proximity sensor blocked, again hoping this may sort itself out over the next few hours, but not too confident on this one.

Getting replacements from them anyway, hopefully with cut outs this time, great customer service

Make sure you order 3 for it to work.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gbroon:
Thanks for the code for 3, total including postage to UK worked out at £6.35 ($9.87) via paypal.

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

I just bought it from the US site, you just pay a bit more for postage instead of getting free delivery. Think when I ordered an xoskin for the N7 it took about 3-4 days to arrive from US so hoping this will be similar.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] phil001:
Ordered mine on 20/11/12

shipped 21/11/12

delivered 26/11/12

So not bad at all really
[Nexus 4 Accessories] teknhard:
Anyone from Canada know how long it takes for delivery? I ordered on the 22nd, and its been sitting in new york since the 26th.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zotac1907:
And where do you live?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gbroon:
Yeah its not bad, about the same as i had if you account for the weekend. Nice that with code it works out less than some places in UK would charge for just delivery.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] bobbyricha:
I tried these for the first time and installation went OK. After the bubbles went away I was left with a few with dust specks. I'm used to going in with tape and removing dust on the other type protector.

I have some of those on the way so I attempted to remove the dust with tape on the XtremeGuard and could not get the speck off the guard with the tape easily. I ended up using my fingernail. Also, when I finally got a case (Kayscase), the guard bubbled up on all corners.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Higgsy:
Just ordered the same for £6.35 too - there's someone selling something that claims to be pretty much an xtremeguard in the uk on ebay for £7.99 for one front/back. Wouldn't surprise me if they aren't buying from xtremeguard directly with the 80% off and then reselling them - thats a healthy profit.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ne us:
It still works!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] :
Does this screenprotector have an orange peel effect?

Because I ordered one already and hope it has not.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gbroon:
Hmm light bulb has lit up above my head.

** goes to sign up for ebay **
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Vivix729:
No orange peel.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] xdviper:
Is the air bubbles going to go away on their own after drying?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] JPowered:
Yup, small air bubbles and imperfections should disappear on their own.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
got my free replacement. no cut out for sensor, bummer. but atleast they gave me 2 free ones lol
[Nexus 4 Accessories] red12355:
it does, but not very much
[Nexus 4 Accessories] xdviper:
Yeah but it's been about 24 hours since applying it. Still there. Pretty irritating
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Higgsy:
Are these causing issues with the proximity sensor not working due to there being no cut out for it?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] intern:
Are you saying you got a replacement because the proximity sensor wasn't working, and the replacement didn't have the proximity sensor cut out??
[Nexus 4 Accessories] aly19:
Do these screen protectors fit with the S line TPU cases?

Thank you

Proximity sensor not working still, 24 hours after installation.

So snipped away top corner until I get replacements.

1 tiny spec of dust, and 1 bubble still not gone away. Pleased with back though

Yes, not sure whether they will peel the edges up long term but only time will tell...

This is wet application? How long is the sale for
[Nexus 4 Accessories] xdviper:
The proximity sensors work for me. You guys just gotta wait until it dries up.

Other than that. ****ing dust is the only problem and pockets for air. I'm going to install this second one that I have and possibly ask for a replacement if I get dust in this one as well.

I'm warming up the shower right now. :p

Going to install the screen protectors.

You should go check your mailbox. I ordered mine on the 22nd as well, and had already received it. Although the tracking info still says its in NY.

haha... it showed up today. Same day as my N4 is scheduled for... perfect timing!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
mine fit snug inside a s line tpu. it actually almost glues the edges to the screen protector and prevents more dust from getting in. i really like the solid feel of this + the tpu case. gonna install my new one later tonight. use a nice hole punch for the sensor as last time i hacked a square section out and it looks like ****.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Drzfr3shboialex:
Received mine looks legit, just need to wait for Google to ship my nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] trent25:
So are the latest shipments directly from XtremeGuard coming with the sensor cut out?

Their on site video clearly shows a cut-out! and I like that they have almost full coverage of the glass.

I think I'm set on this full body protector

Now to decide on a temporary case, which one do I hate the least ... hmmm
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jickman:
I as well ordered my full body protector on the 22nd. After i saw the previous post i quick ran to my mailbox to check but unfortunately it has not arrived yet! arghhh why is this taking so long :(.

Where exactly do u live in Canada?

Im from Toronto
[Nexus 4 Accessories] teknhard:

Applied both the front and the back protection yesterday. Then put the phone for charging. The heat kind of helped set it faster :)

well so much for the back piece. i went to pull of my tpu case just to check for dust and the back was stuck to the tpu case and pretty much came off as i removed the tpu case. whoops
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nexuscanvmx:
Hi everyone,

I'm not sure if there was a question like the one I am about to ask, I couldn't find a similar response. But I wanted to know if there way any solution that would work similarly to the one's included in the Zagg/Skinomi screen protectors what would work for the XtremeGuard protectors. I've never done a wet install before, but I'm not sure how the soap and water combo would work, especially for a $350 phone. Would something like eyeglass cleaner work?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jt.61:
I'm not sure about those solutions. On the instructions, it says to put a drop of soap into a cup of water. I have done this on my s2 and n7 with no problems. I would recommend to have it off for 24 hours.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
dip your fingers in a cup of water/soap and flick your fingers at the sticky part. u don't drench it, just make it went enough to apply. where are peoples common sense these days.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nexuscanvmx:
Well given the fact you didn't really answer my question, I don't think I'm the one that is lacking the common sense. Just saying.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Razer(x):
Ordered mine the 21 of November, still haven't received it
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jt.61:
He's just trying to help you on trying to apply it. I would not use an eye glasses solution. Just use the drop if soap in a cup of water. Its an easy application one the protector is wet and easy to move around.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nexuscanvmx:
Thank you. I'll give it a try, hopefully it'll all go well.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] KevinChaos:
I had best buy install mine. It's perfect!! The proximity sensor doesn't work though. I'll try it tomorrow after it's definitely 100% dry.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] eliter1:
After 24 hours my proximity sensor started working but then it stopped working again. I just hope the replacements they send have the cutout for the proximity sensor.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] KevinChaos:
I'm about 12hrs in and proximity still doesn't work. I will try again tomorrow after about 30hrs. If it doesn't work, should I peel it up and cut it? Or would it be best to just put a new one on there after I cut it?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] intern:
It's actually pretty easy to just peel it up and cut, it doesn't look great but it's much easier than reapplying the whole thing.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] phil001:
Sides covered easily, bottom is just covered, top is probably on the edge of the protector, but doesn't seem to be pushing it up yet

The back screen protector I received is so messed up, the cutout doesn't even align with the back of the phone and the cutout for the camera hole and speaker are so slanted.

I've used dry application on all my Android phones and recently my vita and they always come out just fine.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ketjr81:
Ordered from their ebay store, it's $3.99 for the full body screen protector or $1.99 for just the front.

I'm not a fan of screen protectors but I figure for $4 it's worth it to be safe.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Kendo12:
just used 80off3, it works
[Nexus 4 Accessories] KevinChaos:
All of the vita protectors are made for dry application though, unless you cut a zagg Shield to fit. I personally would not recommend dry application of a wet install screen protector. Trying to smooth it out without water will damage the protector.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nexuscanvmx:
Since you did it as a dry install, does it work just the same? What id you needed to apply a new screen protector for whatever reason? Would it remove like any normal protector?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] petraman:
I paid 10 bucks... I feel like such a dumbass right now, haha. Hopefully it'll be worth it.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] trent25:
You could've got 1 full body for $4 from ebay, they've been at this price for a while now.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Emama:
Yea..I bought it from ebay at day-1 without any coupon....

BTW, I just love their CS,

I emailed them and said no cut-out of the front,

they can simply send me the front but they ship me the whole set immediately.

Their quality may not be the best (I still love how clear for a dry one) but their price and CS is so lovely.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Ace42:
1 shot should be enough to apply this protector with the dry method.

Guys even though the xtreme guard lcd shield does not come with a proximity sensor cut out on it. It is very east to do a cut out yourself. For the price of this shield I would say this is a steal. Very good quality!!!

Anyone have reduced touch-sensitivity using the screen protector? I'm really curious. I ordered one, but not sure if I'd apply it if the touch sensitivity is reduced.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ketjr81:
People are probably reporting things right after installation though too, the screen protector gets better after a while I'm guessing. It will dry out more and any bubbles should go away.

---------- Post added at 10:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

They updated the screen protector? I just looked at their website, they have a video showing a cutout for the sensors now.

Has anyone received a screen protector with a cutout for the sensors?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] USSENTERNCC1701E:
I have a digitizer defect with my phone so I have to RMA it. In preparation I ordered one new full body protector set. When it arrived there was dirt between the film and the plastic sheeting. I emailed them asking for a replacement for that single piece. Today I got three full replacement sets! They've got me as a customer for life.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] :
Yeah, got a new one with a cutout in a day (even though the original worked fine for me).

I noticed slightly less sensitivity when clicking (not swiping). Not a big deal ATM...worth it for full screen protection.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mario24601:
Is it possible to install dry?

And in general people pretty happy with it? I just want to use the back and I guess the front until I can get the OEM bumper
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nyyankees3511:
Ive used skinomi, zagg(horrible), zagg HD before as well as many others, the clarity on this one is right there at the top with others. Thought as ive noticed with many protectors if you look closely there are vertical rainbow lines.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Not really, you could put it on there, and it would kinda stick, but it wouldn't work well. The liquid helps lubricate the application, so you get an excellent fit with very few bubbles. But it also activates the adhesive.

And I am very happy with it. The self healing thing is amazing. I tried to gouge and tear it, and within a couple days all the marks are gone. Unfortunately the skin does seem to absorb dyes. So it's turning black from my leather pouch. I'll see if this can be washed or bleached out, but I don't expect it can be completely removed.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DforDesign:
Could someone post some photos of how does it look after few days of usage and dried off?
