trying to order but it keeps messing up for me, each time I add to the cart it will disappear or it will not add it, anyone else having issues?

*edit, just tried again and now it went thru
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] bigkiskewl:
oh yes, i had the SAME issue....just tried again and it will work :D
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Aspesi4:
Since I started this thread a week ago or so, I have purchased and installed a ful body Ghost Armor shield. I actually just finished it a few horus ago.

Here's my mini review.

To put it simple, I love it. I needed something to protect the phone, but I didn't want to carry around the extra heft of a case. So this is the perfect solution. Ghost Armor did a great job with the pieces and for the most part the installation was VERY simple. The hardest piece for me was the back piece since its one lare ring and placing the endges can be challenging. I actually had a piece that wouldnt stay down, so I peeled it back 20 minutes later and reinstalled and it came out great.

I highly recommend this purchase. If you have any questions or want some pics, let me know and I'll help you out.

Dan,

How was the shipping? Fast? Slow? I am hoping to get this before Oct 1st....
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Aspesi4:
I believe I placed my order Last Thursday, confirmed and shipped on Friday and was at my house on Monday.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] bigkiskewl:
Sweet, that is what I want to hear :)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] football0552:
I cracked and got the Ghost armor as well. Its nice but I would definitely say the hardest pieces to get are the small side ones (probably since i wetted them like the others and then later read you didn't need to with the small ones). The protector has a bit more friction than the screen, but the oils from your hand will clear that up.

Not sure if its just coincidence or not but before i never noticed the touch matrix on the screen but now I do a lot.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ivwonka:
Anybody gotten a new screen protector for the Sprint version? The one it came with seemed fine enough, but I don't think it is going to last long and mine is slightly off-center at the top (took a couple days for me to notice but now its bugging me). I have read a lot about the martin fields and brando on other threads. Obviously ghost armor is being talked alot about here, but i only saw verizon's mentioned. Are verizon and sprint's EXACTLY the same? I have read alot about the zag and i'm not really interested in that one.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] aaronpoweruser:
i just noticed that most of the people that gave ghost armor positive reviews have very little post is it just me or is this a cincidence
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] CIPuyleart:
small sides were the biggest pain for me as well...and I ended up taking them off about an hour after my 'review'...couldn't stand the feel of the edges. The back was easy...just made it wet enough to slide, then let it dry a while before final sticking it down on the edges. I'm keeping the back on it...i like the slightly sticky feel.

I noticed the matrix on the screen BEFORE...but now it is less noticeable. At least to me...
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] football0552:
Ghost armor does have a... history of apparently trolling forums and putting up positive reviews of their own. For this reason I "kindly" called out ghabbage (SP?) if he works for them. Because of this I personally was very leary towards buying the product, but I wasn't a huge fan of the invisible shield I had bought in the past so I figured I would give this a try. The other reason that is that it didn't want a case because IMO they just get your phone sandy and more scratched up but wanted to protect it therefore I needed a full body skin.

The ghost armor isn't perfect but it has pleased me so far. :)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] aaronpoweruser:
we need to find someone with experance to fund so they can test all the products and evaluate them fairly i would b willing to give a couple bux to that
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] asunners:
I purchased the Ghost Armor last week, was impressed with the short shipping time frame, and finally got time to install it last night. I have had Zagg's Invisible Shield and BodyGardz on previous units and must admit I like the Ghost Armor better. Its less tacky on the screen, but still tacky enough to keep a good grip on.

I've got a couple of bubbles under the bottom edge, but everything else went on perfectly.

Highly recommended ... and, yes, one of those with a low post count! :)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] RaggedOne:
While I can see the difference in the material used with this skin, compared to others, I can't help but scratch my head over the video on their main page.

They take a drill with a screwdriver bit to an iPod. They show the results, then peel the skin off the device. I can see scratches to the iPod, as if there was no skin there to begin with.

Am I missing something?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] lethologica:
I got the Ghost Armor for my TP2. Like the poster above, the shipping time was very quick. I expected to get it in seven days and I got it in about three.

However, I don't like it. I went for the full body. The front piece is just a little too small. Maybe like like 3mm. It was almost impossible to apply properly. Your finger prints show on the adhesive side (I washed my hands with soap and alcohol). While trying to realign it for a centered fit I ended up folding the front piece and the two adhesive sides stuck together. This left a ton of marks. Applying the back was difficult as well, I could not for the life of me get all the corners to stay down. After lots of rubbing three out of four are down, and I can't get the last down. I didn't bother with the sides.

I sent them an email and didn't get a response.

Hi all,

Low post count here, but legit person, I insist. :p

Just ordered ghost armor, full body. Will take a TON of photos when it arrives, as well as all steps through application process. Let's hope it's really as good I hope!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] stevefxp:
I went the route of InvisibleShield once the VZW TP2 offering was out. Mine should be here tomorrow, and I expect to install on Saturday morning.

I gotta tell you everyone seems to like either Zagg or Ghost Armor. I am a noob at this, so its going to be interesting how mine looks.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] herach:
Check out www.zagg.com. I have it on my Iphone. It is awsome. I am going to get it for my TP2 & Touch HD. They have it for almost every device, even LapTops.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] kern417:
I think they were showing that the actual iPod had not been scratched, but i don't see the point if you can still see the scratches on the skin. the idea for me is for it too look like new forever, cuz i don't want to have to keep replacing the skin
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] kern417:
p.s. bought a zagg invisible shield today, for some reasont hey took 5 bucks off the full body so i only had to pay 19.99. I didnt even notice it till i tried a promotional code and it came up with a message that the code i put it would save less money, so it ignored it. Still not really sure why i'm getting the discount but people should check it out. they've definitely passed the test of time compared to the others.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] skyguy04:
Still on the fence about what protective cover to buy. Zagg, Bodyguardz, or Ghost Armor. At the start of this thread, i almost bought the Ghost Armor. Now I'm not sure...
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] football0552:
Just go with the on that is the best deal for you. I know zagg has acceptible customer service (i've had to send something back in the past), but it does have some drawbacks on the material (they all do). They'll all protect your device greatly though.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ellomdian:
Looks like they now have a CDMA Skin for the Verizon model.

Mine will be ordered by wednesday!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] HeavyComponent:
Waiting for Best Skins Ever to drop their screen protector. I personally think they're the best when it comes to that. I've been using them for a while now.

Previous devices with BSE!

-Blackberry 8320

-Blackberry 8900

-iPod Touch

I've used InvisibleShield, but out of the 2 I think BSE is the best. IS isn't bad either, but no.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Jas0nMack:
I heard good things about Phantom Skinz and they finally got stock for the VZW TP2. I'm only concerned about the demo mock up with the back being one solid piece. I just wish they had coupons/sales like Zagg and Clear Protector. I only have experience with Zagg and Clear Protector on my HTC Titan, LG Voyager and Pioneer F90BT head unit and know their material is tacky feeling whereas the reviews of Phantom Skinz is said to not be.

Anyone have experience with Phantom Skinz?

Here's a review of Phantom Skinz, Best Skins Ever, Clear-Coat & Zagg on the Palm Pre I came across.

Thank you for the code! I just picked up the full body for the VZW TP2 for $16.72
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] eburrito:
FWIW - I installed the ghost-armor screen only earlier this week. I was so impressed with the quality and the fit, I ended up ordering a full body set 2 days later.

The instructions were spot on. It was nice to have everything (except a micro-fiber cloth) included in the package. The micro-fiber cloth should be mandatory as that's the only way I was able to get my screen clean and lint free.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] UTitan:
I just ordered the ghost armor for my sprint TP2, so ill tell you all how it is when I get it!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] kern417:
Does anyone know of a good screen protector to prevent newton rings? I had this problem with my LG Voyager and my Touch Pro....I heard the main cause is the overheating causing the Touch Screen Digitizer to warp. Is there anything that can strengthen the screen altogether versus just protecting it from scratches?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] gabboge:
:)

Just for reference I do not work for ghost armor I am an average joe just like you guys. I have used invisible shield in the past and was not impressed by the orange peel feeling. Ghost armor is a little more sticky so you need to be careful. If you dont know how to apply a skin then you probably should not use it. As for the fingerprints I just hold the skin by the edges + I wear latex gloves that are wet with the same solution. I do agree with an earlier post that a microfiber cloth would have been great as I have a small spot of lint on it. Like a thread on a dollar bill that I can see if I look really close! But that is my fault. If your skin was the wrong size you may have been sent the GSM version. Send in an email and they will most likely send you a kit for free which is what happened to me when I ordered mine. Sweet deal getting 2 screen protectors and one full body that works.

Anyways REAL GUY WAITING FOR HARD SPL!!!

hope this helps

-Tim
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Techitrucker:
Avoid the Invisible Shield

At least at their mall kiosks. The GSM ones appear as if they are being packaged, maybe by mistake as Verizon and the fit is horrible. There are pics and info on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=565583

I have Ghost Armor on my Storm. Looks and feels much better. Just my 2 cents.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] shawnwaugh:
Still waiting for my ghost armor to arrive (it's been a week). I'm still intending to do lots of photos, if anyone's still on the fence.

It just has to show up first.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] football0552:
If anyone wants I can put up some pics on my phone with ghost armor on it so people can see how it fits. I have noticed that with its thickness and the way they do the 3d corners that it can catch on things.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] aaronpoweruser:
yes please do post detailed pics
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mt2020:
Ordered the "Ghost" screen only, arrived on same day phone did. Superfast shipping. Peeled of the Verizon screen protector for shipping, applied the Ghost. Super easy. Let it dry while doing first charge.

Love it! Can't tell it's there unless you look real hard. Yes, may be a micro mm small too short, but no big deal. More "rubbery" that other protectors I've had, not sticky touch. Hides finger prints pretty good and when you use a finger nail or pointer on the device you can feel it kind of grab as you press.

Glad I bought it.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] teddy333:
I actually had a great experience with phantomskinz on my Omnia. It feels great at I barely notice it on the device screen. I ordered one for my TP2 which is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday. Good Luck
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Jas0nMack:
Mine just arrived today and comes with 2 kits so I am going to give the other to my co-worker.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] das7771:
Received my ghost armor today (screen only) and let me tell you, I am very impressed. I have used the invisishield and phantomskinz in the past and the ghost armor blows them away. The application only took about 3-4 minutes and I was able to easily apply it right the first time. The fit (cut) is the best I have seen from all brands that I have used. It has only been on my screen for about 7 hours and almost completely clear already. No bubbles, creases, wrinkles, etc. I was surprised on how easy it was to apply, because the other two brands I have used were extremely sticky and just a pain in the ass to apply IMO. Ghost armor was just an easy no hassle application that look great in just a few hours if done properly. There is slight grip to it but not excessive like the other ones. Also with the other two brands they have like a orange peel like texture, but the ghost armor is almost as smooth as glass in appearance. Best product I have used to date. I finally found a protector that makes me happy.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] UTitan:
Sorry for the delay in the pictures, here's the ghost armor on my sprint TP2, I didnt do the BEST job at applying it but it was pretty simple, so far I love it. it does look like glass almost, really sleak :)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] kern417:
I tried invisible shield, worked out great for me. I have installed one before and it wasn't easy to slide even with a lot of solution, but peeling and reapplying was very easy. the squeegie tool it came with was also very helpful. the only thing i'm upset about is that it didnt come with a piece for around the screen.. the screen itself is covered but the glossy black part that surrounds it does not have any protection, which is kind of a big problem because it sticks out the most and i would prefer to protect it's glossy look
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] lamontqsanford:
I agree mostly with Humble1 on the Ghost Armor

The screen cover is great for quality and useablity- however I ended up with a couple of bubbles that are bothering me. Has anyone attempted to peel back a corner and retry it?

I thought the back cover went on super easy, and I like that it give a little traction to the device when it's on a smooth surface

I'm disappointed in the side pieces- they were extremely difficult to fit, and I ended up with several annoying bubbles that will likely lead me to remove them. I wish that it could have been one piece- I think that fitment would have been easier, and there would be no edges to catch my fingers on.

Overall, I'd recommend the screen protector, but evaluate other options for the whole body
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] football0552:
I've uploaded the pics to Flickr (didn't want to conform to the attachment limits on here). Sorry for the delay guys. I tried to get pics of the skin showing as much as possible but its kind of difficult.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] kaystyle:
A little disappointed

Just installed my Zagg. I agree with everyone who says to apply the solution liberally. The adhesive is sticky icky icky. I applied the screen protector first, with several bubbles which seem to be evening out nicely. The back piece was actually easier to apply than the front. I sprayed a bunch of solution on the protector, and even lightly misted the back of the phone. The moisture sensor was covered during this process.

I am disappointed in the sticky texture of the screen protector. It makes dragging my finger across the screen very difficult. I also noticed that more pressure is required when operating the touch screen.

Overall, I'm very pleased with the back piece. I might be replacing the screen protector soon.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] kern417:
I can touch it pretty gently, have you raised the screen sensitivity? It will help a lot, mine feels like i'm not even touching the screen sometimes

I did the Ghost Armor Full Body

I chose Ghost Armor becuase of some reviews I saw on the net, also they seem to have been one of the first to have specific CDMA protector, and because I thought the name was cool. :D

Anyway I got the full body. Ordering was a little difficult, the website is kind of cheesy and wouldn't let me add the item to my cart at first. Once order it arived in NJ in about 3 days.

I applied using latex gloves and liberal amounts of included solution. The top and bottom were the most difficult because of the bevel and round corners. I found that you need to apply, let begin to dry for a few minutes, then hold down and in place with fingers for a few minutes after the protector becomes a bit tacky, then I used the squeegy to work out the little bubbles. The rest of the application was easy. I started with the back then top and bottom then the front, then the sides. Overall I did a decent job for my first time but got a some dust under the screen, I think it was from changing gloves cuase it looks like specs of powder, but it is not in the in the acutual veiwing part of the screen but at the top near the verizon logo so I'm not upset.

The feel of Ghost Armor is slightly "Gummy" when finger nail contacts the screen. When handling, the phone has better grip (no more bar of soap feel) with the body protector on. Overall I'm happy.

Would like to know has anyone removed and reapplied Ghost Armor (screen only) or is it one application and done?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] football0552:
I'm going to email them about it. My screen is cracked so I have to drop $90 on insurance and really don't want to drop more on another full body protector from them. I'll let you know.

Ghost Armor CDMA
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] amcq1010:
Found a retailer in Frisco, TX, which installs BodyGuardz.

I had them do the full-body, for $29.99. They did a great job. I definitely like the "feel" of the BodyGuardz over the Zagg InvisibleShield (had that last week, and though it was toooo tacky for my finger and stylus use on this phone).

When you order BG from online, you get 2 of them, "just in case"... however, from these guys, since they offer re-installation for free if this one doesn't perform properly, they "keep" the other one at their stand..

I realize they're doing this to be able to sell to more people and make more money... but, I don't care.. As long as I can walk up and get a new one for free, then doesn't matter to me how they store or sell them.

Also, they charged $7 for installation... I've heard of others getting installation for free... oh well, no problems with me on that either, since they installed it 500 times better than I'm able to.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] milesnapue:
I have been using Ghost-Armor for about month now with no huge issues, the first one I placed perfectly but somehow managed to scuff it beyond a quick buff out. 4.95 shipping they actually screwed up in my favor and shipped me a replacement for thew whole body instead of just the screen. So it's on just fine now but I noticed PhantomSkinz ships two just in case. Was wondering how the quality is compared to Ghost-Armor if anyone has used or seen both.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] twasnow:
I went with bodygaurdz, from all reports very very similar to ghost-armor, the difference being it is 3 dollars less to ship to canada, and you get 2 for the price of 1 (you don't have to wait if you screw up). Other than that the products seem nearly identical.

on a side note, I went with screen only protection (18.91 shipped incl. 20% discount) The reason I did that is I have owned by tp2 for over 2 months and there is not a scratch on the body, where my screen has a couple real annoying scratches which for some reason can't be buffed out (getting replacement phone to fix that (returned it stating I was having some problems... which I was, but I am I am pretty sure will be the same with the new one as well))

oh ghost armor to canada is 24.44 shipped but you only get the one skin (screen only as well)

edit:

also I have used zagg, it was okay for the black berry, but horrible for touch screen I don't like the tacky feeling at ALL ripped it off after 3 days. I didn't notice the orange peel thing though, it was probably there but I never noticed it.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] papeluv:
Im using Phantomskinz and love it. I installed a Zagg on my wifes LG env touch and can say that the phantomskinz on my tp2 has about 1/4 the "sticky" feeling when using the touch screen. And the orange peel look that the zagg is known for is pretty much non existant. It really is a good product.

The CDMA version on the phantom skinz is for the verizon TP2. It does not have the cut out for the 2nd camera and fits perfectly.

Yes, Phantomskinz comes with 2 sets when you order off of their website. I ordered mine about 2 weeks ago and the promotion for 33% off is still going. So, i got 2 full body protectors for $16 and some change with free shipping. I was going to go with the ghostarmor, but i couldnt pass up the price on the phantomskinz, its the best deal imho.

"Enter the Discount Code "independence33" (all lower case letters) to have your 33% discount applied during checkout. It is that simple!"
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] k9tim:
I had BodyGuardz on my Fuze, but didnt care for the tacky texture of them. My wife always had these Anti Glare protectors from DLO on her iDevice and I was insanely jealous. Loved the smooth sliding feel..

Just got a three pack of Anti Glare protectors from Boxwave for my TP2 today and MAN-

The 30 minutes of insanity I had putting on the BodyGuardz was no more. No applicator fluid, no fingerprints, no haze, no bubbles, no tacky feel.

I absolutely love this Boxwave screen protector. A little expensive, yes- but well worth the cost IMHO!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] marker2002:
Thanks for the link update! Just placed my order too!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] californiarailroader:
I don't feel any tackiness on my Bodyguardz, though I did when I used the Zagg Invisible Shields. The Boxwave protectors are nice too, I've used them as well, though I like the self-healing nature of the Bodyguardz, and I think the fluid makes it easier to apply, because it gives you some time to move the protector around, whereas with ones like Boxwave you have to relift and reapply if it doesn't go down right, and that can be a frustating experience too.
