Well, I would show you mine. But, I already took it off. I can tell you after a couple months use it turns brown. Mine looked like I had stained it with tea. I was a noticeably darker shade of brown where my finger sits next to the camera. But, when I peeled it off my phone looked brand new. I'm glad I never used the screen protector. I can only assume it would stain the same and ruin the colors of the display.

Anyone try the Hi-Def screen protector (dry install)? Thinking about getting those instead of the regular ones.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] d11dog11:
I got some HD. Didn't even install them. Just cheap plastic protectors. I love the classic wet apply ones though. They are on everything I own that can use one.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] filthygoat223996:
Does it make a difference if the phone is black? I imagine it would be harder to see stains
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jacob030:
True, but mine is white. So, it made my phone look dirty. I liked the grip it added to the phone. But, I like my phone to look nice too. I went to a white carbon Slickwraps back. Its much nicer now.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] filthygoat223996:
Just curious how much of the back did it cover and did it peel off? Because my invisible shield had a peeling problem
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jacob030:
Honestly, I don't really remember. I only saw it the edges when I put it on. I had a bumper case that left the back open. When I pulled it off I didn't really pay attention. I was ready to get my Slickwrap on. I don't think it went all the way to the edge tho.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Kennypete:
I figured I would give an update for anyone wondering about the longevity of the wet application screen protectors.

I have had one on my phone for the last 3 months and it has held up very well. My phone lives in my pocket, and has had intimate encounters with my keys, sand, and other scratchy things. There are a few scratches now, but nothing bad enough to make me stop using it. I use it with a hybrid case and it doesn't pull the edges up

My advice:

For the price, they're one of the best protectors you can get. Likewise, don't expect miracles for less than $2/each. I think the reason they get mixed reviews is because people expect far too much and don't take the time to apply it properly and let it cure.

Buy several - if you don't like how one is installed, throw it away and get a new one. Let it sit and cure for a full 24 hours before using - it makes a difference, the screen protector will be far more clear and it will be a lot harder to pull off or stretch.

If your screen protector feels rubbery, put some car wax on it. It will make it smooth as the expensive ones.

I just used the "Spook80" coupon code, I'm located in NC, US. I ordered 3 full body protectors, my total was $6.59.

The coupon code has NOT expired, as of 5:07 PM EDT
[Nexus 5 Accessories] anuj25:
The code is still working just bought two full protection. Shipped to Australia for 11.30 $Aud
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Exel:
Weird.. okay, updated OP again, ahah.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ThePurpleLuigi:
Just order the full body protection. Thanks for coupon code hopefully my N5 arrives soon.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] peachpuff:
Protection for the back? I don't get it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Exel:
Yes, it's a protector for the back as well.

Sometimes, a case is good, but if you get dust in there, it can scratch the back of your phone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] peachpuff:
But its curved and rubbery, how can the film possibly stick to it?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Exel:
Only costs $2.20 to find out!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] peachpuff:
Heh maybe they throw in a case for the back.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ChocSoldier:
Thanks a lot!

Bought 4x Nexus 5 full-body kits and an S3 one for a friend, shipping cost seems to be flat-rate so consider group buys (for those not in the U.S).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Exel:
Sweet.

Thanks for the heads up.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] luisnatur:
Thank you!! I have my full body protector for just 8$ shipped to Spain!!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] onmike:
thanks, picked up one shipped for $2.20
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dhoshman:
Thanks for the tip. Picked up one for my Nexus 5 And Note 3. Full body protection for both devices for a total of $4.40 shipped, you can't beat that price! Should go great with my Spigen Slim Armour case when it arrives.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Duplicated:
Thanks for the tip, too. Just picked one full protection set up.

Damn, it is even cheaper than my occasional starbucks drink :silly:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] PRoyal22:
Still available

5.87$ shipping costs to germany.

ordered 3 full kits only to have an higher order price than shipping costs :cowboy:

Thanks for the information!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rosswaa:

£6.66 shipped to UK not a bad deal.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Bettz:
Couldn't get on with this screen protector when i first put it on my nexus 4 it felt horrible.

Xtremeguards were excellent and refunded me though maybe a bad batch? :good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gonzalo_reyes:
thanks I have ordered today to Chile, coupon is still working.:good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] FierceMist:
Yep this coupon still works. Free shipping is just icing on the cake.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] fredrock123:
Picked up 2 at this price... Now I have a full set with this and the spigen slim armor.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] PsychDrummer:
Anyone know how these are to take off? Do they leave any residue on the screen? I know a huge amount of people use these but I'm still a little hesitant with a wet application.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] fredrock123:
I've ordered from them before and there's almost no residue glue left. It will wipe off the glass. Never covered the back of a phone with skin like these.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trakz:
thanks! Just bought the full body kit!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] EcPercy:
THANK YOU! I picked up a N4 and N5 kit since you can't really find any Nexus accessories here in Singapore.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] adritati:
Try to write it manually (not copy and paste) at least this solved my problem with not valid code :good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Exel:
Yeah, sometimes it adds an extra space in the front or the back. :good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] fpradhan:
I just ordered 2 full-kits for my N5. The coupon didn't work for me, but I emailed customer service and they refunded me the discount anyways!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] caribouxda:
Waste of $ are this brand screen protectors.

$1.40 for front facing protection! thanks! FREE shipping yeah :D
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kristoff125:
I've had this on my Nexus 4 for almost a year now, I can say with complete confidence that it was two dollars very well spent.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Azmuh:
Anyone know when they will ship them can't see the shipping date or label anywhere, ordered mine 5 days ago
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Exel:
11/8
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 505dv:
Just received a confirmation that it was shipped. Only downside it that USPS will take 18-29 days to ship internationally.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] heavyarms1912:
Anybody got it delivered can comment on the quality and the cutout precision please
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nukeluke:
Update: Did not like how this protector felt (i.e. too much friction). I ended up tossing it, and going with a glass protector instead.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] textus:
anyone received the back screen protector already? Can comment on it?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] heavyarms1912:
Thanks for this. I have used xtremeguard before and hence I am aware of the application process. But i didn't get haziness. I suspect it might be due to excessive soap used. You need very little amount a drop in say 200ml of water.

So the cutouts aren't really upto the mark :(
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AndroidRaven:
So you guys know there is a trick in applying wet protects to make sure that no particles from the air make it on there as you are trying to apply it.

Simply go in the bathroom and let the hot water run until it gets steamy in there. The steam will bring down all the particles from the air and you have a clean particle room. . So once you have the screen cleaned off and your hands completely clean and soaked in water as well, simply apply.

If you follow these steps it should be ok. . I have applied my wet protectors this way multiple times and have gotten perfect results,, but no matter how good you get at it, it can still get messed up as it is really hard to make sure that you don't have anything on your hands(might be a good idea to use rubber gloves, maybe I'll try it when these things finally arrive).

I really hope that these protectors don't stick on skin too much, , sometimes these protectors are jelly feeling and at times make it impossible to text with swype as your finger will literally stick on the protector
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nukeluke:
I suspect you're right. I used more soap than necessary. Well if anything, maybe someone can learn from my mishap :o

The cutoffs are negligible, I think. If you do try to center them around the speaker and front camera, the protector overruns a little at the bottom.

Nice tip! :good: Will do this in the next attempt if the haziness doesn't completely disappear.

This protector isn't as smooth as the one I have on my nexus. It's not sticky per say, but I can definitely feel resistance running my finger around.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] MWilkenson:
My order has been processing for a week now. Think I'm just going to cancel. As anyone run into this issue?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hackdisk:
Got mine in the mail today.

As the others have said the cutout is not perfect but acceptable, though mine seems a bit longer and narrower.

With the top touching the rim, the bottom sticks out a little -- just by a very small amount but it collects dust and I can peel it off from there.

Feels a bit hard to swipe compared to the other screen protectors I've used. Almost had the urge to put the original plastic film back on before another screen protector arrives.

Didn't try the back protector as I prefer touching the soft back over the plastic film. Shouldn't have ordered full body :(

Might make sense to use it if you are already using a case though.

Anyone knows how returns/refunds work? If it's too much hassle I'll just pretend I never bought this.

Edit: forgot to mention they don't seem to be scratch-resistant much, wonder what they mean by their "Shield-Heal™ Technology" :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Exel:
I put mine on and its awesome. No complaints here. For $2 its a hell of a deal.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] pholocity:
Where are they shipping from? I ordered it on Nov 1st and havent received it yet. Got my N5 and my Spigen cases today :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jahfry:
Got mine in today. Worked perfectly well. I also got the back cover and ... well ... I consider it a bit of a waste since I'm using a TPU case. I was only wanting the back cover to shield the camera lens and guess what part is cut out? :)

(I expected it to be cut out, but was hoping like the smaller cut-outs the cut portion would still be there).

But for a screen protector to go along with the TPU case it is excellent.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Exel:
Not sure. I'll check when I get home.

I'd prefer to get the SPIGEN case, though, I'm using my s4 case that semi fits but the cut outs are all wrong, lmao.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] housry23:
Hey [MENTION=3416913]Exel[/MENTION]. Thanks for sharing the coupon. I've used Xtreme Guard on most of my phone lately. Moto X, HTC One, Nexus 4 and will be getting one for the Nexus 5. Same thing as Zagg or Skinomi, at a fraction of the cost. They're not great if you drop your phone, but definitely keep it from getting scratched up. They always have active coupons for 70%-85% off which makes it the best deal to me.

I remember you from the xda marketplace days!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Exel:
Yeah, they may not be the best in the world, but they get the job done. :)

And yeah man! Good ol' Marketplace days. :highfive:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] indelible:
i contacted them, they said even though it says processing it has actually shipped. if you dont get it within 5 business days from day of order, i would contact them and ask for a replacement.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] housry23:
Yep! Good ol' days! We're all on another site now. Not sure if you're there or not, but if you aren't and want a linky, just send me a PM and I'll get it to you.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Exel:
CTO? If not, PM me!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] housry23:
Yep that's the one. I guess I just haven't seen you over there. Thanks again for the coupon code for these!!!! :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Sharvil06:
Just finished installing the front screen protector, I messed up pretty bad on my first try so that pretty much screwed me over but I have it installed now with a couple annoyances (my fault). If your order still says "Processing" it has most likely shipped. The feel of the protector is a just a tad bit sticky so you do feel some friction when sliding your finger over the screen. The protector does also smudge up with finger prints after a while. Overall, its not bad for the $2 I payed for it.

Pics of the tiny fibers that got stuck under the protector because I used a cheap cleaning cloth:

The protector does work with the Spigen Neo Hybrid case without any interference.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] james11417:
What's with that giant smudge on the bottom right corner?

Mine came, but I'm waiting for my RMA before I install it. I spent like $9 for note 2, s3, and nexus 5. In restrospect, I probably shouldn't have bought so many since it's so hard to put on.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] stagius24:
I hope horrible smudge at the bottom also. Hope if will go away soon.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Sharvil06:
The "huge smudge" is just the reflection of one of my island hanging lights haha. But there is fingerprint in the middle of it that I wiped off.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Rhatfield25:
Less than $2 for a screen protector shipped! That can't be beat. Anywhere!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] MWilkenson:
Has anyone tried to use leftover zagg spray to apply....I'm worried I'll use to much soap lol.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] indelible:
yes, i use it. ive also kept the bottle to refill for all screen applications.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] twolfekc:
Just got mine! Using my n4 while I let it dry
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rosswaa:
Mines on and although I don't like the screen protector the back I like and will hopefully stop bits embedding into the phone whilst it's in its case. Iv tried the spigen screen protectors and this one seemed easier to put on. Can't get the spigens on with bits under and then u get big bubbles with them. This was a breeze in comparison
[Nexus 5 Accessories] HeXDeMoN:
Got mine , full protector.

I used xtremeguard on my nexus 4 and on a iphone so I'm familiar with the process. Unfortunately my front is narrow and long like someone else mentioned. Impossible to get it to fit without it sticking out on bottom or top.

The worst part was the back protector I had to realign it ... and it took off my IMEI sticker ... dunno what to do about that now. I def don't recommend the back protector. I wouldn't of ordered one if I know how the back of the nexus 5 was.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Exel:
I think they just made the front protector 100% exact, so even a little bit off and it will have the issue you are saying, it sticks out a little. Mine does but I got it pretty damn close.

But other than that, it is fine.

As for the back.. yes, I opted out of putting it on.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] darkpower05:
I just did mine on 10 mins ago. The bottom is a hanging off a little bit even through the top is at the edge. How long did you wait for it to dry before using the phone?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Exel:
I waited like 20 minutes.

Do you guys mind posting pictures of the "overflow?"

I'll contact XtremeGuard and see what they can do.

I'm 100% they'll ship out another one to you, though.. if its not working out for you.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jcsww:
Just ordered two full kits myself. The coupon code in the OP is still good. With shipping to Canada and two kits, it cost me a whole $10.27.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] :
I've bought screen protector from them before but they sent me a small rectangle one with no cuts and it didn't fit my phone. I contacted them and they sent a replacement right away. Their screen protector is easy to install and the quality is good. A little part of it did start to peel off later but it never actually came off. For the price, I have no complaint. I didn't get protector from them this time because I got the spigen ultra hybrid which includes one and I heard they are just as good .
[Nexus 5 Accessories] unvaluablespace:
just wanna say thank you for the coupon code and link to the site. I ordered a full body for the nexus 5, as well as another for my soon to be old iPhone 5. Mostly just got them for the back cover lol.

Wanted to point out something though, in case anyone is in the same boat as me. I've come to not really like the protectors such as skinomi, zagg invisible shield, etc, but at the same time, want to protect my phone. So as cheap as they are, I just decided to order cheap screen protectors off ebay. found a 6-pack for under $2, and ordered 2 (so I got 12). as cheap as they are, and careful I am with my phone, I figure ill just swap out with a new protector when I start to get annoyed if the old one gets ugly (dust buildup on edges) or a scratch that annoys me. usually I only change out a screen protector 3-4 times during a phones lifespan, so I think this is a cheaper, and nicer way to go about it, unless you were the type that throws your phone around getting it scratched daily lol. Cheap screen protectors are often very clear, and higher end ones, despite their quality (not saying they are bad) just bug me cuz I often find issues with them (such as screen diffusion, or the "bubbles" or "ripples" of skinomi/zagg protectors). :)

link to the cheap protectors I mentioned on ebay:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Wagmans:
I got mine and I must say I had a terrible experience with it. The back, well, just a waste of time, and the front is loaded with lots of tiny bubbles I can't get out no matter what I do. I'm pretty bummed about it. I just might remove it and toss it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ritzxda:
Lol yea. I'd be curious to know what % of these screen protectors actually stay on after a few months. So many of us buy them during their big sales but most people I know (myself included), have thrown them out either instantly or after a few days or weeks. They're pretty garbage really.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Azmuh:
Still haven't gotten mine, ordered it on the 31th of oct, haven't gotten any shipping confirmation yet, still processing :( ... might have to cancel it
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Exel:
I don't think I've ever gotten a shipping confirmation from them.

They just.. arrive. :p
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hackdisk:
How are their cut-outs and sizes? Fit the nexus 5?

I got a few off eBay which have completely wrong cut-outs and sizes :(

I used to just pick some unknown brands off a nearby store for my old phone and they work perfectly!

Only time I had to change them was after I had my phone repaired. Too bad that store is gone now.

Tossed +1

Mine don't fit. Not even bothering to ask for refund.

But given so many satisfied customers here I guess it's just my luck.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] unvaluablespace:
Unfortunately, I don't have my nexus 5 yet. :-/ google says it doesn't even leave the warehouse until nov 28. Boo.

But I did get the screen protector and case I ordered (spigen neo hybrid). The best I can describe it to you is that the protectors fit perfectly with the rim of the case, which judging from pics online of the nexus 5 in neo hybrid case, looks like it will cover the entire phone. I actually emailed the eBay seller who thankfully was honest, said it covers the phone completely, just not all the way to the very edge. Also, there are 3 openings at the top, for the speaker, sensor, and honestly I'm not even sure what the 3rd opening is for. Another sensor maybe? I wasn't even aware of a third component on the top above the screen, lol. Keep in mind as well, that said openings are cutouts, not actual holes. Meaning instead of a circle for the speaker, the protector is actually cut in from the top, and around. Kinda sucks, but you get what you pay for, and as long as the majority of the top is covered, yay. Lol.

Also its your basic cheap plastic screen you'd get usually from those "free screen protector" type throw ins you see when you order stuff like cases. Lol. Nothing crazy durable, which is why I got 12 for only $4. Its those ones that have two stickers attached to remove upon applying. I don't usually scratch my phone, which is why this is fine for me. :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rosswaa:
You do realise the imei sticker was designed to be removed? You are suppose to take it off

The front and back both fit perfectly so not sire where you've gone wrong
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hackdisk:
The third opening should be for the front camera.

Seems like these basic cheap plastic screens are what I'm used to using lol. My old screen protectors are all cut out in the same manner (one big cut for the grill, sensors and cam).

I'm using the one from spigen ultra hybrid for now, which fits perfect and no air bubbles but attracts a bit too much prints. Will give these a try later for $2.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Wagmans:
How are these? Are there lots of bubbles? The XtremeGuard I got has so much bubbles it's junk.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] apristel:
I had issues (tons of bubbles, also scratched it up my shirt sleeve!) with my front protector by xtreme... emailed then and they offered full refund or replacement. They are good about it.
