Nothing in the world can be worse than Zagg in terms of orange peel
[Nexus 4 Accessories] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Oh cool, I'll give that a shot then. Have you noticed loss of sensitivity or any slippage?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] khanh1289:
Waiting on my nexus 4 so I can't comment for that device but I'm using it on a g2x with no orange peel effect. Sensitivity is normal. It gives more grip so that is both a positive (phone won't slip) and negative (swiping is not as smooth). Overall, this is the best screen protector for the price and in it's class in my opinion.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] phil001:
noticed a few bubbles appearing round the edges now, where the case is pushing the screen protector up:(
[Nexus 4 Accessories] brom25:
I haven't receive mine yet but I just mailed them to know if I can resend my old screen protectors to get the new ones, with the cut but they just send me two free pieces, so I have 4 full body right now :D

Customer for life too
[Nexus 4 Accessories] locsplitter:
Amazing protector, easy as hell to put on with spray solution found on eBay. Came with a squeegie too... Very handy for putting on the cover. No bubbles etc.

ONE THING YOU MUST, MUST BE AWARE OF THOUGH WITH THESE SCREEN PROTECTORS:

YOU MUST CUT OUT THE TOP LEFT TO LET THE PROXY SENSOR BE UNCOVERED.

I can confirm that having the screen protector over the proxy sensor blacks out calls completely so that you can't turn on speakerphone, etc.

Also, I ordered three but only received 2.

Good luck everyone
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ketjr81:
When did you order your screen protector? It looks like they updated the screen protector and cutout the proximity sensor now.

I ordered from ebay, the price was cheaper as well so I wonder if the ebay store was selling the older ones? Or do they come from the same place? I think I'll send them a message on ebay and ask them.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ruthlesset:
I ordered mine from their website and there were no cut outs for the sensors. I emailed them cause the sensors don't work with the protection on and they mailed me the replacement. Fantastic customer service.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] shahram0:
I ordered mine on Thursday last week and it arrived today. It has the proximity sensor cutout already. I ordered from their site and use the 70OFF1 coupon (I think that was the one) and got it for $3 for the fullbody.

My only question is, how do you do a wet apply on this thing without destroying the speaker on the back? Did you guys find some way to cover the speaker or what? Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mohit1234:
I ordered from their website too and got them today. No cutouts. I ordered 3 sets but only received 1 :(

I've emailed them regarding this.. hope I receive a reply soon!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ruthlesset:
I received my second order today and it had the cutouts for the sensor.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Just let it dry. It won't really harm the speaker diaphragm to be wet as long as it doesn't move until it is dry. Mine still sounds fine, well as good as it did before hand anyway.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] teknhard:
Just a heads up 80off3 still works.. I got these delivered on Friday and was considering buying a few more because they are really great. clear, and over all a good products... I screwed up my first install so decided to grab another one plus one for my N7...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] M_ike:
Received mine today with cutout for proximity sensor.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jt.61:
I got to contact them about getting one with a cutout.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jt.61:
Yeah, their products are awesome! Will update OP.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] clockcycle:
They are not orange-peely at all.

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 PM ----------

Only at first until it is thoroughly dried out
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jickman:
i applied after few hours, all these small pocket appeared looks ugllyyyyy. Im a wait until they ship the cut version for proximity if it sucks, i might just go with the SPG screen. Wayyyyy more smoothier and clear. :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dnlsmy:
Pockets go away after about 2-3 days, looks awesome after about 4. Mine is great except for the proximity sensor, which they are sending me a new one. It has a bit of orange peel and is grippy, but not as much orange peel as Zagg. Only noticeable when screen is off and at an angle in direct light.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nyyankees3511:
Mine is starting to look good after a few days. Though the vertical rainbow lines are still there.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Emama:
Those are defected, tell them and they will send you a new one
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nyyankees3511:
They did send me replacements but they feel thicker.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ketjr81:
They wrote me back and said the screen protector that I ordered on Friday will have the cutout.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mario24601:
Ordered 3 for $6, not bad. Hope have cutouts and decent quality. Can't wait to remove the + - shipping plastic ;)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SlasheI2:
I have the one without the cutout for the proximity and mine works perfect. I dry installed by just lining up the top then sticking the rest down. There were a lot of tiny bubbles but I just pushed them out with a fingernail. It looks pretty perfect to me, a bit harder to drag my finger across than a dry install protector but its slick when I have oil on my fingers.

No orange peel effect, there are faint rainbow vertical lines though. hard to tell theyre there unless I look really hard
[Nexus 4 Accessories] trent25:
When ordering through their website, do you get an update once they ship the screen shields?

Ordered Saturday, still processing.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Stryder5:
Anyone put a bumper over the full body kit yet?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Freshly_Snipes:
Nope because it's free shipping. So don't expect the works. You should see it by Thursday. Weekends don't count as shipping days.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] locsplitter:
I ordered two weeks ago, Monday, and received with no cutout. Also I ordered three (from website) and only received 2.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] RichySamui:
Hmm, not very happy with mine. Just received in the UK. The front proximity sensor doesn't work, so had to cut the corner off. On the back, it's totally the wrong length. Had to cut about 4mm off of the bottom for it to fit onto the back. Now the speaker cut out is not aligned by about 4mm. I ordered 2 and one of them is unusable add it has 2 holes in it. From my own experience, I would not recommend these.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Stryder5:
Contact them. I'm very impressed by their customer service. I didn't have any problems with my screen protector but they will probably send you replacements.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] RichySamui:
Okay, I've just sent them an email. Hopefully hear back soon and I'll update.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] siberian85:
I ordered mine on the 20th of last month still did not got anything, they send out replacement but nothing, I got 5 for 8 or something like that
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nyyankees3511:
I have the same lines, im gonna live with it because I dont feel like reapplying since I have it on there pretty much perfect.

---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 AM ----------

I have, the bumper is so made so precise that it comes so close to the protectors but doesnt touch.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] khanh1289:
That is awesome news! Now, I just got to wait for my phone to arrive home and the bumper to go back on sale.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Stryder5:
Have you tried taking the bumper off? Did you have the side protectors too? Someone else in the BSE thread said it peeled the edges of his side protectors. Everything else remained intact.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] khanh1289:
Xtreme full body only includes front and back with no side protection.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nyyankees3511:
The bumper fit is so tight that even if it had the sides itd be tough to put the case on. Just take it off weekly and clean and youll be alright.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] B97:
Just got mine from eBay, has the sensor cut out, the first one I ordered from eBay didn't.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ketjr81:
Thanks! I've been wondering about that! Saved me an email, and one I'm sure they are tired of getting about shipping.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] alewis2k12:
Just got my XtremeGuard today from ebay...it came in excellent and i put it on easy just make sure you use some warm water and take your time and it will go easy like mine did...its perfect...now just waiting on my case to come tomorrow....:D:D:D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Stryder5:
I was not aware of this. Thank you for pointing that out. I'll thank your post when my daily allotment refreshes :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Freshly_Snipes:
I've had mine for a week.. Perfect in every way but one. I have the thin, barely noticeable unless on a white screen, rainbow marks/lines that should have been gone after a week of use. Wondering should I contact them regarding this.

Thoughts?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] phil001:
i was looking at getting the BSE, but these seem cheaper.

Will they go over the curved edge of the glass? The cheapo thin ones i got from ebay stop short of the curve

thanks
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jt.61:
According to the photos, it does cover all the edges of the screen because its a wet application. Its not the cheap ones.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dale_cooper:
THANK YOU for this thread... incredible deal

I got 2 full body nexus 4 protectors and a screen protector for my note 10.1 (which I've desperately needed since its a fingerprint magnet).

80off3 - $7 shipped, unreal!!!!!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] siberian85:
thanks guys I ordered 3 for 6$
[Nexus 4 Accessories] aznsmith:
nice price on these! i didn't know they had an actual website. i've usually been ordering from ebay.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] aaronuser:
Great tip! Thank you. Ordered 3 Full bodies for only $6 shipped.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] xShadoWxDrifTx:
Thanks! Ordered the 3 for $6 with the 80off3 coupon code.

My friend would need one so this works out well
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Emama:
it's too late for the code lol

Anyway they sent me update in the ebay saying it is shipped.

But I am still in limbo.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jt.61:
Same here!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] astromanic:
thanks for the tip. got 3
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Explore3:
Picked up 2 full body skins for a phone that i don't own and a screen skin for my nexus 7.

Thanks for the buy 3 coupon code.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] brom25:
ordered two full body skins too
[Nexus 4 Accessories] _guzzler_:
BSE orders are shipping out tomorrow. I cancelled my BSE order by calling: 303 456 5640. Emailing wont help.

Hope this helps someone.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mZimm:
Thanks for the number, I tried calling and they must be closed for the night. I ordered 3 of these for less than the 1 BSE, so hopefully they get my message and email and can still cancel it tomorrow. If not...oh well, it's $6.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DDeveryday:
What is this BSE you guys are talking about?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] JPowered:
BestSkinsEver
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Stryder5:
Already got a full body through BSE, but picked up 3 screen protectors from XtremeGuard for $3.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mrlad:
How close are they to the original glass feel? Is it on par or better than the Zagg HD protector's "glass-like" feel?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] parker09:
Heads up, after purchasing, someone posted this on another website I go to, and that is that there isn't a cutout for the proximity sensor, so it could lead to trouble troubles - see Q&A section for them.

Not sure how hard it'll be to cut one out.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] JPowered:
I don't think not having a proximity sensor cut out would be much of an issue or effect the sensor by much. The screen protectors I had on my previous phones never had any sensor cut outs, and that didn't seem to cause any problems.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DarkShadowAy:
Please keep us updated. I'm thinking about getting one. How long did shipping take to UK?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] phil001:
I had a faulty one, and also wanted the ones with proximity cut out. Emailed then, they replied same day saying they are re sending the order.

Sure they'll do the same for you
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jt.61:
I would, it seems they made a second batch that is different than the first.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nexuscanvmx:
Mine just came in on 12/2 and it had the cut outs for the proximity sensors. So I believe the orders placed recently will have the new cut outs. I ordered mine I believe last Friday or Saturday.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] sociojeje:
I ordered mine on Thursday on ebay but haven't received yet. they have provided the tracking info but nothing appears.. hopefully it arrives soon and I'll post it.

edit: just checked my mailbox and got one. It has cut out.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] guest_2011:
I ordered XtremeGuard screen protector on ebay from the selle xtreme_guard. Received some cheap imitation crap. Beware of the fake seller xtreme_guard on ebay.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] MontAlbert:
Oh bugger. Got a link to the auction? I may have done that too... Still waiting for it to arrive.... How do you know it's fake?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] guest_2011:
one of his auctions

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-XtremeG...672160?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item35c1cc82a0

i received it in a plain envelope with the instruction card saying "stealth shieldz". Even his auction lists comparison prices and features where the authentic product sells for $10-20. Seller didn't even argue with me when i said this crap is fake. Immediately refunded. It includes front and back, it's not smooth or durable. You don't get good friction with these generic protectors. I've had them before. They also stick without soap and water but you get some bubbles and doesn't look good. I wanted to give this a try but not putting liquid on my phone. I never get dust or bubble with dry protectors. This thing will be hard to apply and align without bubbles and dust. Get you money back it's generic crap.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
with over 100 thousand sales, i doubt its "fake". thats the same seller of xtremeguards website. we all got them in an envelope, i've emailed them that i wasn't happy with my first protector and he mailed me 2 more instantly. if you were not happy with it then you did the right thing, but coming on here complaining about your dry application failed is a little rough, its a wet application protector. mine still feels great. and at 4 bucks for front and back how can you even complain LOL

2 dollars, free shipping, he profits like a dollar or barely more. then you come in asking for a refund so you can do what with it? pay the 10dlr difference and get one from someone else?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] MontAlbert:
Crap... that's who I ordered mine through ... oh well.. we will see what arrives... I have a bse on the way too. In the meantime I have shot off a message to the xtremeguard guys to see if this guy is for real.

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Accessories] guest_2011:
my dry application never falied. you misunderstood. i ordered XtremeGuard, not a generic protector. I'm actually sending it back not because it's wet application, but because it's generic. If you're happy or unhappy it's for you to judge the product. I'll never know. Number of sales is irrelevant.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
everyone in this thread has gotten the same one, some even got full protectors, 3 sets, for 6 bucks. whats generic about a screen protector? the bubbles and dust you couldn't get out? im confused. mines been on my phone for almost 2 weeks now and it serves its purpose. what do you expect out of a 2 dollar screen protector? and were you expecting a 40dlr protector for 2 bucks?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] guest_2011:
really, seller?

i ordered XtremeGuard and didn't get one. Case closed!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Stryder5:
I bought directly from the website and received mine in an envelope as well. I THINK my instruction card also said "stealth shieldz" but I will have to go home to double check that.

How would you know it's not durable if you barely had it? You complained that the one you received is not smooth, then you say you don't get good friction. I'm not sure what you want from the protector. It's not as smooth as glass, but it does have some sort of rubbery feel to it. It's a screen protector and is supposed to feel that way.

You're supposed to do a wet application. If you don't do so, you can't complain about bubbles because you didn't properly apply the product.

A wet application is hard to apply without bubbles and dust. Do it in your bathroom after you take a hot shower to have some steam in the area. Do a wet application and make sure to squeeze any bubbles out. That is the normal process for a wet application protector.

While I think these guys seem pretty legit, I can't say for certain. Hopefully the guy I quote below will be able to put this at rest.

Please let us know if you get a response!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] guest_2011:
I don't take hot steamy showers. It's bad for cell phones too.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Freshly_Snipes:
I just emailed them and explained the "rainbow streaks" and they emailed back within 5 minutes and were super nice. They didn't even ask. They sent me a new replacement without even asking and even offered a refund. I told them I don't want the refund because I'm sure it wasn't intentional and that the only way I'd request one is if the replacement was also defective. He said 5-11 days for the replacement to arrive. :thumbup:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Stryder5:
Steam in the room helps prevent lint from flying around. You don't necessarily have to take a hot shower. You can just run some hot water nearby that steams up. Once you have a steamy room, bring your device in. A little steam in the room isn't going to damage your phone. If it did, living in a constantly humid environment (such as the coastline) would ruin many devices. It's just a tip to help prevent lint from getting on your device while applying any protectors (whether wet or dry).

Alternatively, use a microfiber towel and wipe down your device/work space. I find that a combination of the microfiber towel + steam environment allows me to apply the protectors without any lint at all.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Freshly_Snipes:
Every thread you post in your complaining,Your name is guest and you have no type of picture... Quit trolling us. These things are top notch man. What do u expect for $5...??? Platinum encrusted G-Unit screen protector that gives you a hand job? Smh. I'm 100% not flaming you but this is getting ridiculous.

You don't own the product any longer. You shared your experience. Now GTFOH :confused:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gagdude:
Troll has become obvious. Who doesn't take hot shower?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] guest_2011:
I don't know. Ask your husband. This thread is about accessories, not hot steamy showers.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Stryder5:
I brought up steam showers as a tip to apply the protector. It is relevant. You mentioned hot steam showers earlier so should know this.

Anyways, one downside I noticed about the XtremeGuard protectors is that they are not oleophobic. The screen itself was quite resistant to oils but this protector seems to attract oil marks. It's slightly problematic for me, but still usable.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gagdude:
Dude.... the post I quoted said, " I don't take hot steamy showers. It's bad for cell phones too"

Thread is about accessories, not hot steamy showers right back at ya ;) btw don't get all defensive, I didn't insult you, why do it to me?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] guest_2011:
I mentioned steam showers earlier? LOL try again. The problem with cheap generic "xtremeguards" is the same. They are not as smooth as dry protectors. I thought this "authentic" one is different but it's not.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gagdude:
Yes you did mention steam(y) showers

And you shouldn't complain about a $3 product
[Nexus 4 Accessories] guest_2011:
i mentioned because you mentioned first and i will complain about a $0.03 product if i want to. Are you the one who tells complainers not to complain because the phone is only 300-350?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gagdude:
You must be kidding me -_-

I never mentioned it first. Another guy did

Whenever I get change, I throw it onto the streets. Do you really complain about $0.03 items? If so, then you definitely need something better to do.

And will you stop with your attitude. You can't compare a $300 to a $3 item
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Stryder5:
You are wrong. I mentioned the steam shower first as a tip to apply the accessory, so it is relevant to this thread. I'm not sure why you would claim otherwise. Also, you did refer to hot showers as well, so I don't know why you tried to deny that.

Anyways, you are comparing apples and oranges. A wet protector is made from different materials compared to a dry protector. It's like comparing paper and plastic bags at the grocery store; they are both bags, but are obviously different materials. If you are going to apply a wet protector without using any liquid spray, then you shouldn't complain that it doesn't work right.

Thank you for reporting in that XtremeGuard is different from a dry protector, but you should leave it at that. I think your point has been made.

However, considering that this thread is about XtremeGuard and its sale price, I don't think many people in this particular thread would agree with your review of its quality due to your comparison. If you wanted a dry protector, you should buy one and write a review for it in another separate thread.

I am quite happy with my screen protector and am glad that I purchased it. It is smooth enough to allow properly gliding of my finger, but rubbery enough so my phone doesn't slip out of my hand when I pick it up.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] guest_2011:
Will you stop with yours? How/where am i comparing $300 to $3?

---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

good for you.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gagdude:
Well, because I said you shouldn't complain about a $3 item, you assumed I also say people shouldn't complain about a $300 item. Which means you are linking my statement about $3 to $300.

I don't have an attitude, man. I'm not getting angry, and I'm trying not to start a flame war here.

Whereas, you seem to have some heat in your statements, and rude sarcasm, above ("good for you.")
[Nexus 4 Accessories] guest_2011:
nope, you're wrong and whatever.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gagdude:
Exactly what I mean :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] guest_2011:
i'll stop posting and unsubscribe only because others come here to read about the real xtremeguard and i can't rate it because i don't have the real thing.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Stryder5:
To get back on track, for those who were shipped a replacement, how long did it take to receive? Been waiting almost a week so far.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jt.61:
5-11 business days as from the email they sent me
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
this is a guy doing RMA's because his phone creaks and he hears a rattle when he shakes it. take anything he says with a grain of salt. read all his past posts, he's a straight troll
[Nexus 4 Accessories] eliter1:
I ordered a replacement on Wed and I received mine today. I got the ones with the proximity sensor cutout but unfortunately one of them was stuck to the squeegee and got ruined so I am going to have to get another replacement.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] elarella:
I usually just use the microfiber cloth that comes with the kit and cover the speaker as I squeeze out the liquid. The excess gets soaked up by the cloth and doesn't come into contact with the speaker.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ryan92084:
to put this completely to rest this seller's envelope looks like the attachment so someone can compare to one ordered directly from the site.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] trent25:
The company name and person's name on your envelop are the same as my paypal receipt when I ordered from their official website.

I haven't yet received my order.

Placed Saturday afternoon / early evening ... still shows processing on the website. Might email them tomorrow just to make sure they sent out my order. 2-3 business days for processing should be about enough time.
