I've been reading some reviews here and it seems as if the main concerns are orange color or peeling. I suggest best skins ever. it's a little more expensive $10 for a complete set but after a couple days of use it actually feels like glass and doesn't peel or turn orange. I've has the back protector on since January and its still perfect. It just has some imprint from a slim case I was using but its nearly gone now. The only thing is the front protector got messed up when i took it off and reapplied it because I had to RMA my old phone. So if you want something longterm without the rubbery feeling best skins ever is a good choice.

Your best bet is wait for the sapphire screen protector

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Arikk68:
i got xtremeguard for the back of my nexus, the cuts fit nicely.

the applying is very easy. its nice you can move it easily on the device while applying.

a week later and the protector still very sticky, luckily im using a case, so its not really bothering me.

maybe ive used the wrong soap, i dont know.

bottom line, its protecting the glass and thats all i need.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Dark Emotion:
Anyone using these screen protectors? I have bought one 2 weeks ago and it arrived so I installed it. I am not happy with it, it is a little bit blurry (dirty)... Is this normal or not?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] IKnowIRock!:
Samehere...not like i expected... But feels like its a hard material which can protect the screen somewhat ;)

It attracts dust and such and doesn't go away easily :/
[Nexus 4 Accessories] biggiestuff:
I like it but I have problems using the OEM bumper with it. Now I have to decide. Bumper and naked or protected and bumperless.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] AftermatH101:
my old BSE began to peel at the upper front left corner, I'm sure it was my fault. I couldn't stand it and I was afraid that the pocket lint/dust that stuck to the exposed sticky side of the skin would scratch the screen.

I bought 4 screen-only skins from Xtremeguard last week with that coupon, installed it this Saturday afternoon. I was really careful about it, no bubbles, no dust it's pretty much perfectly applied. I was very proud of myself actually.

The colors were fine, if I look closely at an angle, there's orange peel but nothing too noticeable especially when the screen is on.

The only fault I can give it is the feel, and it's pretty substantial one. It literally feels they used Deer Park water bottle plastic and turned them into skins. I've washed my hands, I've wiped down the skin with damp paper towel followed by microfiber... still the same horrible feeling.

It's like you know how if you're writing on a chalk board, and you're holding the chalk at the wrong angle and your lines become dotted because of the friction, I could do that with my finger on this screen protector.

Not to mention the audible sound of friction when I slide quickly through home screens, menus, etc.

I've since put in new BSE order, it's a shame though since I got 4 of these things, I might try to use another one maybe the one I have one now is a defect...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] xxKamikazexx:
I too got a few of these, they're nice at first... But then mine started to peal from the top right corner from putting it in and out of my pocket over and over again. Now it's full of lint on the corner and looses the sticky stuff if you try cleaning it with soapy water. :(

They're nice and cheap with the code I'll give em that. Also, finger oil is a constant problem with these.

As long as the device is turned off when you are doing the installation and not to soak the screen protector to the point that it's dripping solution. Also remember to avoid directing the water solution into the speaker ports but away (outwards) from the device, and leave the device off for a little while for the solution that may have gotten into the speaker ports to dry off, just in case.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Nshih422:
Thanks everyone I used the 70OFF1 code and ordered 1 full body for the nexus 4 and 2 screen protectors for the gs3 for $6 total. What a great deal.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Blazing angel:
80off3 doesn't work anymore

Btw any pics and reviews?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] RichySamui:
Great thread. Just ordered 2 with the 70OFF1 code. £6 including delivery to the UK. Happy days :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] parker09:
Good news.

I did Email them through eBay and they said there was no proximity sensor hole. Ordered two just in case.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
I installed mine just a few mins ago, fits great and feels nice. the phone is less slippery and fits perfectly under the bumper case. now I feel safe for daily use!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jt.61:
Could you post some pics please? I'm still waiting for my device on BO! Thanks
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
I'll try to take some when I get back home. first issue, it messes with the sensor when in a call. gonna have to cut that part out cuz my screen always goes black instantly when I call someone and I can't hang up lol
[Nexus 4 Accessories] overhauling:
So does it affect it, or does it not? o_O
[Nexus 4 Accessories] myorks1127:
FYI, there was another thread about 3 or so people having issues with this protector or similar that also did not have a cutout for the proximity sensor. I ordered the Xtreme guard kit only for the back piece and ordered and received the XO skin for the front which DOES have a proximity cutout, just something for you all to consider...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Blazing angel:
I sent them an email. Their exact words

"Our screen protector does not have a cut out for the proximity sensor.

Thanks"
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
the proximity sensor not being cutout was definitely an issue. I had to lift it back up and cut out an area so the sensor wouldn't be covered and that fixed my screen blacking out when making calls. all is well now, but I wish I had one that was already cutout instead of having to do what I did.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] cluckkillerb:
That's a bummer to hear about the proximity sensor. Did you get the full body protector, I was curious about the quality of the back piece? Thanks
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
the back is solid. cutouts are perfect and it fits perfect. other then that sensor cutout missing it feels great.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Arhtard:
thanks for the heads up. i guess i'll buy a hole punch and make the hole somewhat legit looking before installing. haven't received mine yet, tired of carrying it in a silk baggy, LOL.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] parker09:
You could probably just use scissors as the proximity sensor seems to be near the edge.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] overhauling:
Ugh. I'll see what I can do without making the phone look like s*** :(
[Nexus 4 Accessories] shigga:
Installed the skin on mine today. Has no affect on my proximity sensor at all. And I'm on the phone quite a bit.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] overhauling:
Pictures?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] hondarider525:
I haven't received mine yet, but my plan was to use a hole punch to cut the area for the proximity sensor.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Uh60m Pilot:
FYI I have used them in the past for my other phones and never needed more than one protector. They come with a lifetime warranty. Whenever I have issues (bad fit, peeling etc) I just emailed them and they mailed me a new one, no questions asked. I did not need to pay shipping or return the old one. I just bought one but did not get multiple. Just letting everyone know in case you have not worked with them before. I really only wanted it for the rear screen protector.

sent from my perfect 32GB Nexus 7
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Waldos:

[Nexus 4 Accessories] jt.61:
Same here, had it on my galaxy s2 with no problems. I know they have a 60 day guarantee but no lifetime warranty.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] cluckkillerb:
Bumpin for pics from anyone who's received/installed the full body. Anyone..? :p

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Accessories] red12355:
So what's the verdict? Does the skin interfere with the proximity sensor or not?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] shigga:
Here's one with the shield on.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
i guess it depends on your phone. it interfered with mine for sure. i had to cut it out.

what case is that?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Nickcu13:
Got mine today. Not impressed with the texture. Feels weird. I prefer the normal glass feel. Also, its impossible to get all the little bubbles out.

I've tried to take it off and put it back on slowly with a credit card pressing down as i go, to no avail. Any advice?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] myorks1127:
That is stupid, why no just buy the XO that already has the hole cut and looks nice

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

I got the perfect XO front with all holes already cut, received the Xtreme guard today and immediately threw away the front without even looking at it, I just wanted the back:eek:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Emama:
I think all the wet applied one does not have glass feeling

And the bubble will dry out after one or two day
[Nexus 4 Accessories] P00t:
got my shipping information! :D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
u just do the best u can and the little small ones go away after a few hours.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Zurginator:
$3 shipped for a full-cover?

This is acceptable. :laugh:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] shigga:
No case just extra skin pieces to cover up the chrome sides. And no issues with the proximity sensor.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] haduken:
I installed 2 on mine and the Gf phones. Likes great on mine, close fit and it covers the curve, BUT it has proximity issues on mine. On the GF's, no proximity issues but the bubble hasn't gone away. I guess it matters how much water you use? I use more water on hers. Its been 16 hours already.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] B97:
So does it cover the curves?

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Accessories] shigga:
Yes it does.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dwd3885:
i received mine today. doesn't look like there are cutouts for the proximity sensors, but i will see how it goes.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] myorks1127:
There aren't any, get an XO
[Nexus 4 Accessories] B97:
Can you remove and reapply wet skins during the initial applications?

Also, I know I've asked many times, but I need to be sure, it DOES cover the curves right?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dwd3885:
An xo is $13. XtrmeGuard is 5 for 2
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jt.61:
Yes, you can remove and apply during application. Its easy because its sliperly when wet until you get rid of air.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] frigidazzi:
I only want one to put on the back of the phone to prevent it from sliding. Does anyone know if this will prevent it from slipping?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Blazing angel:
Does anyone have any pics of the xtremeguards installed or pre-installation? :confused:

You, I and every one else. :(

Hopefully by early Dec! As that's when their 3 week est will conclude.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
I'm not paying 13 for a cutout lol! stop advertising in this thread its annoying. a simple cutout before the install is simple and for the price, easy choice. I emailed them as well so I wouldn't be surprised if they fix the issue eventually.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] androidofduty:
coupon code expired, anymore code that i can use? thanks
[Nexus 4 Accessories] overhauling:
If they send out another e-mail with a coupon code I'll post it here.

The wait is definitely worth it though! I don't mind getting all my accessories first because then when my phone actually gets here I'll feel like its... safer
[Nexus 4 Accessories] androidofduty:
I had Nexus 4 for 5 days already and has no protection for it, feel bad right now:(
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DDeveryday:
Just got mine today. It has a lot of bubbles after applying. Hope they go away soon.

Those dots are a combination of water and air bubbles not the holographic dots of the phone.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Arhtard:
Well, i received mine. Used a hole punch that was apparently dull on #1. All it did was booger it up. Took scissors to #2 and it looks like crap, i couldn't get it to install correctly on the rounded sides either. The edges are lifted slightly. But, its better than nothing i suppose. Probably just use it till zagg gets them in stock at the mall, cause i suck at this kind of stuff.

After installation i had the same bubbles, but several hours later they disappeared and it looks normal now. Minus the scissor hack job and fail install job.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mackster248:
Did you use a credit card to squeegie the bubbles out?

Have one of these for my gnex and I will be picking up one for my n4, it's last me over a year almost with no problems whatsoever
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jt.61:
From the ones I got for gs2 and n7, I never had this problem. Must have been a bad batch from them. Anyways, they have a 60 day guareentee and they send you another one with no questions asked. They have great customer service.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jt.61:
The code 70OFF1 still works from black Friday. It comes to one for $3 or two for $6. Still a great deal. Just updated the OP. With my experience on my s2 and my brother's note, there is no issue with the proximity sensor. I would try installing it without making a hole for it. Then, after a couple of days, contact extreme guard if the problem occurs so you don't mess up the protector the first time.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Josh98:
That'll do me! Thanks a bunch!

EDIT: Ordered 3 to be safe, came to $12.80 ish or £8.30 including delivery to the UK. Happy with that.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] B97:
I only want 1 and it's basically the same price on eBay so I guess I'll buy it from there and save myself making a new account!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Arhtard:
Well after sitting over night it looks a lot better, but still, its obvious i suck at doing stuff like this.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] B97:
It looks perfect to me, even the sensor cutout.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Beretta93:
Take it from the website bro, customer service is one of their great asset. You just email them if you have any issue.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DarkShadowAy:
Looks very good!

How is the responsiveness on the touch screen? What's the feel like?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Emama:
Why do you guys need to cut the hole for the sensor? This protector is clear.

What is the exact problem you guys mentioned?

I never did that for all of my previous phone
[Nexus 4 Accessories] myorks1127:
Or just buy the XO skin with pre-cut holes for camera and sensor that look better than this
[Nexus 4 Accessories] hachem28:
i ordered 2 BSE skins, and i only received 1, it even says quantity 2 on the receipt that came in the envelope :(
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Beretta93:
Just stfu with your stupid overpriced crappy XO. You're a pain in the ass.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Arhtard:
Thank you :)

Feels great. Kinda like a gel coating to a degree. Screen is very responsive to touch with no noticeable lag or failed reactions. With the back installed, it doesn't slide across my desk top, slick surfaces, etc, anymore. I'm very happy with this so far. I'm curious to see how it reacts to a case, which is pending shipment. Like the zagg, this also loves to collect fingerprints easy. I went to the mall earlier and the zagg store thought it was their product lol. Best of all, i can use the phone without worrying about scratches now.

Thanks to the OP for the item link.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Blazing angel:
If you get a bumper it'll hide the edges :thumbup:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Arhtard:
Well, there have been some posts/threads about protectors that don't have the sensor cutout causing issues with the screen turning off and staying off or having major reaction delays. So instead of testing it without the cutout, i went ahead and cut it myself to eliminate future problems. Some phones I've used had the same issue and some it didn't effect. Yes it sucks a bit and yes they should update their design, but for the price i paid, I'm happy. There wasn't an alternative in stores where i live, and the price is just, cheap.

Here's a video of the screen protector in action. Looks nice!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQ-HxMUYnG8
[Nexus 4 Accessories] j.smith:
I'm happy I got in with the coupon... I got 2 of these for the phone (backup, just in case... for the price why not!) and since I had to use the 80for3 coupon I got an N7 cover too (for when I get one ;P).

Just saw the video, and I have to say, I can't wait to get this and put it on! I'm glad I didn't get a static cover one, since I didn't notice the rounded edges until viewing this thread, and I know from experience that the edges would have lifted and got dirt in them eventually.

Got my shipping confirmation a few days ago - I should have these suckers some time this week I think... and for $10 incl. shipping in to Canada for 3 covers, that is simply an awesome deal - THANK YOU for posting the coupons and links!

Hopefully covering the proximity sensor works out ok. I'm thinking I may just hold the cover over the front of the phone and see if it works OK or not before I think about punching a hole for it or not. I'd prefer not to have to, as the fewer cut-outs, the less chance of dirt/scratches too.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nbeebe24:
Been rocking this for a few days now. The screen protector does take away from the smoothness of the glass, but it's not the end of the world. I don't notice any loss in clarity and the proximity sensor works as it should. Its a great deal
[Nexus 4 Accessories] johndoe411:
Did you cut out protector where the proximity sensor locates?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nbeebe24:
I didn't. I applied it and that's it. Tested the sensor after reading this thread and it works fine
[Nexus 4 Accessories] cluckkillerb:
Whether it affects the light/proximity sensors seems rather random.. :eek:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] sjgore:
Got mine today. Did a cut-out for the proximity sensor, didn't even try without after reading so many comments on here.

Tip from me: Use an elongated piece of blu-tac to block the speaker grille when applying the protector to stop water getting in. Obviously remove it when finished.

Looks pretty good, the curved edges on the front stuck down a lot more easily than I thought they would.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Ace42:
Can you guys tell me if water is actually needed? I have always just carefully placed the screen protector onto whatever device.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jt.61:
It requires wet application in order for the adhesive to stick on the phone. In my opinion, its easier to apply because there is no dust and its movable.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] MDaveUK:
This made me buy one.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Ace42:
Damn. I was really hoping it could be applied like all of the other protectors I've purchased in the past :crying: .
[Nexus 4 Accessories] johndoe411:
My Xtremeguard protector has been applied for almost 24 hours, I have mixed feelings about this.

Previously, I bought some cheap 'Premium' screen protectors for my Nexus on ebay. It didn't have proximity sensor cutout and thus rendered it useless. So I bought the Xtremeguard to replace it.

Application wise, this beats my previous 'Premium' dry application screen protector. With the dry application protector, you basically has one shot of getting the alignment right. I ended wasting 2 protectors because dusts keep getting in between the screen and the protector. The Xtremeguard is way easier to get the alignment right.

I do prefer the surface of the dry screen protector, it feels more glass-like and smoother to swipe. The Xtremeguard feels more rubbery and more resistant to quick swipe. The 'orange peel' effect is minimal but you can still notice it with the phone at an angle to a light source.

The Xtremeguard protector also seems to attract pocket lint. Every time I retrieve the phone from my pocket, I can see some lint get stuck to the edge of the Xtremeguard protector. I do not have such problems with the dry-application protector.

Finally, I have noticed the Xtremeguard protector caused visual artifact when the screen has white background. I am not sure how to describe it but see the attached screenshot. Note the vertical streaks of faint purple/pink artifacts. Has anyone else noticed this?
