[Q] Zagg problem with G2 - G2 and Desire Z Accessories

Just got the Zagg screen protector. It is cut around a 32nd of an inch too big for the screen and overlaps frame around the screen. Since the screen is recessed just a hair, a gap forms along the edges.
I installed one on my Vibrant (sold it for the G2) and it was perfect.
For those who say the protector wasn't centered correctly, it was and overlaps on both top and bottom and side to side.
Going to contact Zagg.
Anyone else with this problem?

Yep... just came upstairs from installing mine. A hair too big. It'll do until my PhantomSkinz protector arrives.

Zagg is sending me a replacement
Just got off the phone with Zagg. They're going to send me a replacement but the representative said this was the first time he's heard of this.

Just submitted my complaint via the online form, so I guess now they have at least two cases. Of course, I have a feeling you'll get another screen protector that's too big. Let us know if it fits better.

Mine did not fit either, I assumed that I did not properly apply it. SO I checked back and you are right, it is a bit too long. I will contact Zagg tonight to confirm that there is more than two users with this problem ;-)

Mines on the way hope it doesn't have that problem

Mine was just a fraction too big, but as it dried, it shrunk a little and now fits perfect.
And yes, I am talking about the Zagg screen protector despite how that sounds.
Edit: I guess there is the slightest bit in one corner that is not adhering because it is just a hair too big. It is perfectly positioned and no room to move it, so yeah, guess it does have a problem. As time goes by, it will be a bigger problem as dust and stuff gets in there.

Too big here too. I contacted them through the online form, so we'll see.

I just ordered the full shield today...
At least they follow through with warranties.

Same. I just got my Zagg today and just installed it. Too big!
I also just sent them an email to let them know about it. I told them to actually get a fix first before sending me a new Zagg shield.

I ordered the full cover as well today. I tracked the shipping with twitter and I believe they're back ordered.

Fix when I get replacement
As I mentioned in the first post, Zagg is sending me a replacement screen protector..the rep I talked to said it may be just a bad batch that is oversized.
They also originally charged me $3.99 for the replacement until I called back and complained that this wasn't a warranty replacement, it was a bad product replacement.
At any rate, if the new screen is too large, I'll probably just get a ruler and a box cutter and trim it myself. I'll compare the cutout to the screen and make the appropriate cuts. I did a test fit with the original cutout...it seemed too large but I thought the screen protector might be smaller to make it easier to peel off the backing.
All in all, Zagg products are still top notch!

When someone gets their full body coverage do you mind sharing how it feels in the hand over the soft-touch plastic?

Weird, I've never heard of Zagg. I live in Arizona, is it mainly an eastern thing or something? Since the G1 I've always used Ghost Armor, which is actually based in Az. I don't know how Zagg feels, but I highly recommend Ghost Armor. It actually feels pretty close to HTCs soft touch. Its almost like a soft clear rubber that's super thin yet very protective. I've heard the material was developed by the military and licensed by Ghost Armor.
Anyways I went and got a screen cover (they will install it all for you) the day my G2 came, but I'm waiting on them to get the kit for full armor which should be in Monday hopefully. The armor comes with a lifetime warrenty and they'll put a new cover on at anytime if you drop it a bunch and screw it up for free.

I ordered mine yesterday.... waiting on it.... hoping it fits...

I just filled out the online form and came here to see if anyone else was having the same problem. Too tall and a hair too wide that keeps it from laying flat in a couple of places. Good results previously from Zagg. Kind of like brando.hk protectors, but they didn't have anything yet for the G2.
I think it's too tall to ever shrink enough to fit.

The funny thing about what you described sounds just like invisible shield. The material is military grade and used by the military. Anyway, I lived in California for the past 7 years and used invisible shield on all my devices.

I guess you were lucky. When I contacted them they asked for photos and want me to measure screen and shield. I guess it depends on who reads your emails

Verizon Invisible Shield

I just got a full body InvisibleSHIELD installed on my verizon device at a local Zagg mall kiosk, the installer had to cut the bottom to accommodate the 3.5 jack and the side for the volume rocker. The Installer said that Zagg doesn't actually make a Verizon specific body shield. Anyway, here are some pictures of it.
http://s188.photobucket.com/albums/...ction=tags&current=InvisibleSHIELD on VZW TP2
I contacted Zagg about this and a rep told me that because the installer cut the shield that the warranty is now vioded....
This is what she said
Code:
Hello *****,
Thank you for contacting ZAGG, where we are Zealous About Great Gadgets! My name is Betty and I appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
I sincerely apologize you have been misinformed. We do offer an invisibleSHIELD specifically for the HTC Touch Pro 2 (Verizon). You can find this item on the following links:
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-touch-pro-2-verizon-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/search/search.php?x=0&y=0&keyword=htc+touch+pro
In regards to your email, retail locations are authorized sellers of ZAGG. They also have their own separate policy and procedures.
I understand the sales representative at the mall kiosk altered your invisibleSHIELD. If the invisibleSHIELD is cut by anyone other than our professional shield designers, your Lifetime warranty will be voided. We do not recommend cutting or altering the invisibleSHIELD.
I hope this helps! Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or comments.
All the best,
B****
I replied
Code:
Hi B****,
Thanks for the speedy response, however let me see if I understand this; because the authorized seller cut my shield in order to make a fit onto my phone, my warranty is voided and now I need to pay for a new shield if I want the correct one installed onto my phone?
Concerned Customer
I am currently awaiting a response from them. I tried calling the kiosk back but no one is answering, they're probably at lunch, however I'm not sure what to tell them aside from "You LIED AND YOU F###ed up my shield, do it again!" If anyone else has had a VZW Zagg shield installed, let me know what the results where please.
Did the installer inform you that they would have to modify the shields before they hacked on them? How did you pay? If by CC then you may have the option of disputing with your CC company.
Bad Zagg experience
I ordered a full body Verizon version via the Zagg website. I was careful to select the Verizon version. Because I have no patience I ordered express delivery.
When the product arrived it was a generic version. Holes in the wrong place ect.. When I called they implied I ordered wrong and suggested next time I order to select the Verizon version. I asked the rep. to order for me so it was correct, and again like a fool I paid for the express delivery. 2 days later it didn't show and when I checked the status it was on backorder. When I tried to cancel the express delivery for obvious reasons they would not do it.
I asked how they accepted my order when they were on backorder. Anyway I was not happy.
I ended up using the generic screen, other than a small camera hole on the top right it fit. After a couple days I was not happy with it's apperance, and how the sides felt. I looked for another option. I found Ghost Armor after searching this site.
I first ordered the full body then minutes later decided to order just the screen not knowing if there would be a difference. Not only did they check wih me to make sure I didn't double order, but they packed both orders together and refunded me the shipping on one order.
Bottom line, no question between the two the Ghost Armor is the best screen cover. You don't even know it's there. However the side and back covers are not great. If protecting your whole phone is vital then Zagg is for you. The Zagg screen wraps around the edges and offers more coverage.
My Verizon Zagg showed up and I left it in the box for now. I don't think I'm covering the back or sides. If I do I will use the Zagg back cover. How funny will that be?!
jsquared, sounds like you have too much money to spend on screen protectors... But is it true that the Zagg covers the sides on the screen portion?

Do you mind taking a look at what the front of the cover looks like?
Yes, the Zagg covers the entire screen and wraps around the top corners, bottom corners, around the bottom buttons, and both sides. However, it does not cover the entire sides. It prob. covers half the sides. It stops at the side crease. The Zagg does cover more than the Ghost Armor sides. My problem with Zagg is that the film is a little cloudy and sticky. It's obvious that there is a screen cover on.
My only concern is the screen and the Ghost Armor is perfect because I can't even tell it's there.
HOWEVER, my best advice is for you to buy both.... that way you can't go wrong
I wish I had seen this first
I just had mine installed at the Valley Faire Mall in San Jose while I traveled through. I was a little leary as he was putting it on because it looked like he had to trim the bottom also and the hole is in the wrong place up top. The center pieces where not cut correctly either and there are gaps where the screen meets the body and the screen. He insists these will go away after 24 hours or so. I think it looks like a total piece of crap. Carefully placed saran wrap would have looked more professional. I'm not even going to bother calling them. I will be in Salt Lake on Friday and I will show them what their "Authorized Resellers" are selling as the correct product and let them explain in person. I have Ghost Armor on my Storm that was put on in their kiosk in Chicago and it looks and feels 100% better. Can't even tell its there. This looks like I left the original plastic on the phone. Maybe if I show them my Ghost Armored Storm it will inspire them to make a better quality product. Ya Right. Highly unrecommended.
I attached some pics of the front. That bottom left corner is never going to lay properly no matter how much time. As you can see it was a real professional job.

LMFAO!!!!! that's exactly where I had mine done at! I emailed Zagg and they said that they're going to send me the correct version, I just gotta register my product at their website.
Well it's good to see some positive comments on the ghost armor. I ordered the screen protector only, but have never used it before so I am anxious to see how it looks. I have used the invisishield and phantom skinz, and really haven't like either one. And it's sad to say that I did a better install of the protector myself than the one in the picture posted. Hopefully the ghost armor will not be as sticky and noticeable as the other two. I have yet to see any real negative comments on it yet. The installer of that shield should have his @ss whooped for screwing up your phone....LOL

Honestly, as much as I love a slick slippery phone, I prefer something that has a bit of grip on it so it wont fall outa my hand and it wont slip off my desk. He DID **** up my cover, not my phone, and Zagg will provide a replacement (minus shipping >_< ).
Well, they are sending me a new one, though they tried to make it seem as if I should go away and they where doing me a favor. They screw the pooch, and I have to put $25 bucks on hold so they will send me a proper one. At least they eating the shipping to me. Its going back to them in a white envelope. Screwiest lifetime warranty in the business, designed to keep people from wanting to take advantage of it. Never again.
Yeah, they told me the same, I think I'm going to call the kiosk again and talk to the manager about this, see if I can get him to order in the tp2 skin so that they obsorb the $4 hit (sorry but now-a-days 4 bucks is a lot for shipping for something they they ****ed up on). Obviously if 2 random people on this board happen on the same thread about the same kiosk, then this is probably a problem for them, this doesn't reflect well on Zagg, even if they don't officially own the kiosks.
i installed mine myself and it all went well everything fit but i'm wondering is there supposed to be a piece for around the screen? Mine came with two pieces, the back cover and one for the screen itself but the glossy part around the screen is uncovered. if someone could let me know that would be great thanks

No, there is no piece for the glossy black part around the screen. My installer told me it was because it may peel off while removing the shield. He said it previously happened with different models of the Blackberry.
After having a Zagg on my TP1 and liking it until it started losing adhesive and peeling off, I originally ordered the Zagg IS generic GSM TP2 model (the one that overlaps the screen and needs to be cut for the 3.5MM jack) and altered it myself to fit as I hadn't heard about the Ghost Armor yet and Zagg didn't have a Verizon version at the time. That said, when I finally got the Ghost Armor, I found it a far superior product to Zagg. No orange peel, better appearance, and better feel, and easier to apply. You really can't tell it's there. I won't be using anything else from now on.
Just talked with the people at the kiosk I had the shield installed; despite what Zagg told me via email they said that they don't make a Verizon specific shield, and that they ALWAYS must alter the shield for the TP2 for Verizon and even some other phones and that Zagg was lying about making Verizon specific shields. I'm going to have to call Zagg about this tomorrow (it's pass their business hours, and email conversation seems to take them 1 day to reply, no matter what) and see who's bullshitting here... Ghost Armor is starting to look like a better option...
tell the idiots at the kiosk to check out zagg's site: http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php

LAME....that part sticks out more too. I wish I had a protector on it ):
Got the replacement today. Though it fits better now, it leaves the most vulnerable parts of the device exposed. They really need to make some kind of surround to protect the frame around the screen as its basically useless without something like that. Kind of a lame excuse that it may peel the device on removal since the surround on a Blackberry is painted and the TP2 is solid plastic. Nothing to peel. It does look much better now though.

Damn, we must be in sync or something, got my replacement today as well, I took it to a different kiosk (closer to my home) and I explained the story to the guy and he installed my new shield for free , I also sent the incorrect shields back to Zagg for a refund (or atleast for them to de-authorize the cash they have on hold on my account). I will be complaining to the Valley Fair kiosk owner and try to get a refund for the installation at the very least for this whole fiasco.

ZAGG skins delayed, BSE now on!

Yesterday I ordered a ZAGG skin, only to find out that they have been back-ordered. The CC said "quality issues", but I'm not sure what is really causing this (maybe the complaints about the screen cover size that we've seen here?)
Also, the BSE for G2 is now available! Requested them to make a skin last weekend, and got a reply that it is now official! As usual, they are offering a small discount.
http://www.bestskinsever.com/t-mobile-htc-g2-skin
Wow, for only $7 too. Way cheaper than Zagg's 25.
i ordered one last night around midnight and I got a delivery confirmation...so im guessing that means I'm gonna get one of the oversized ones? bummer
are the bse as good of quality as zagg?
i was going to order from zagg last night as well-- hopefully they back in stock soon so i can use my discount
in 4 1 thank you

i had BSE full-body on my G1 for a long time and it was awesome - kept the phone like brand new. eventually (like, after a year) it started getting a little grimy along the edges, but for like $7 i should have just bought another then. instead i took it off, the novelty of the G1 having faded.
anyway, i just placed my order for the full-body BSE. can't wait to have it so i can feel safer about throwing my G2 in my purse (along with scratchifying keys, pens, etc.). i refuse to pay the exorbitant zagg prices. i don't need a kit either. bse comes with clear instructions, so if you're careful and patient, it goes on perfectly.

Does the BSE full body catch a lot of lint? Lots of screenshots I've seen always show it with tons of lint and dust.

not really, no. just a little inevitably is going to stick along the edges where the skin is cut, but no lint or anything on the face of the phone with BSE. i think it's the same material as zagg, so presumably equivalent results. a little orange peel style dimpling as well, but also to be expected on these kinds of things.
that said, i've never actually used the zagg so i could be missing out!

Phantom Skinz - Full Body Coverage

Well here it is ladies and gents, full body coverage for the HTC Sensation!
http://phantomskinz.com/htcsensation4g.aspx
I just got my device fully wrapped by Phantom Skinz with the clear film, they are a locally based company so I just took it into them. They also have a matte film available for the Sensation, as well as their really awesome Chromatics (literally looks like custom car paint).
First off, the guy at Phantom Skinz said it was really difficult to apply the full body coverage and anyone that has installed these types of films before, already knows that the install process is not that easy anyway. But, if a guy that installs these films on an almost daily basis says it was hard then that is definitely something to remember.
Now it wasn't the film for the screen that was difficult to install, but rather the film for the back of the phone. He said the film for the screen was actually easy, which I questioned because of the curved glass.
Also note, if you are not comfortable trying to apply the full body coverage yourself, you can actually send the phone in to Phantom Skinz and they will install it for you. I know it's not the most ideal solution, no one wants to be away from their Sensation for a week, but at least it is an option.
Anyway, the end result looks awesome and I really recommend looking into the Chromatics if your not really into the 3 tone color scheme going on with the back cover. The Phantom Skinz guy also said the install for the Chromatics is actually easier because it is more like applying a sticker versus the liquid based install of a clear film.
Beautiful! I'm guessing yours is the "Full Body Coverage" since it's so glossy...I want to see how the Matte one looks
I really like the feel of the soft painted back, so I don't think I'll be getting a case for my phone this time. Maybe a screen protector, if I can find one I can easily (and quickly, the less time it spends exposed to the dusty, pet hairy environment of my apartment, the better) apply.
I'm going to wait until stealth comes out with their full body. They usually have free ones and all you pay is shipping, I had two for my myTouch when it first came out

I like Phantomskinz but I'm not digging how glossy that looks.
thanks this is the skin I prefer, and glad its still 10 bucks for 2 screen protectors that are really good quality.
Only hesitancy is my S4G is being exchanged for dust under screen. A while ago my HD2 was warranty replaced. If only we could pull the phantomskinz off the screen and remount them on the replacement HTC.

I actually did just that with an ipod nano a couple years ago. I first had it replaced under warranty, then I couldn't get the film on the new nano how I wanted it , so I re-applied it several times. I just pulled the film off slowly and soaked it in a slightly warmer cup of water than the instructions say to do (not really sure if the higher temp helped) and it re-applied just as if it was brand new.
Tempted to buy this. But over $4 shipping to the UK puts me off... even with the 25% discount...

Input summersale25 in the promo code for a discount fellas! I just ordered the 2 for 1 screen protectors for $7.46. Best screen protector I've used to date.
Phantom Skinz make a good product. They don't have as much orange peel as the Zagg's and they provide great protection. I've used them on a couple phones in the past.
Just ordered the Matte one.... ill let you all know how it turns out.

Used this on my galaxy S, eventually (3-6months) the skin starts to allow dust in the edges of the skin causing the edges to catch on things like fingers.. until removed completely.
I would usually go with Phantom Skinz since I have gone this route with many of my devices, the G2, MT4G, G2x, Asus TF. It worked very well for both the clear skin and the chromatics. I decided to go with Ghost Armor this time, only because of where I am staying now, there is a booth inside mall, so I noticed it and since I had the cheap T-Mobile SP that doesn't cover the entire screen, I took a stab at it. They just cut out a templet, and then put it on the screen for now, until the actual product that should be coming in, in a few days. I paid $35 for the full body kit and they will install it. They put a temp SP on there that they manually cut, then had it sit in one of those dryers I guess that's inside a plexiglass. They told me to come back in a few days when they will have the body kit in stock and they will install it over again.

I hope they don't charge you the $10 install fee again...
I had GA on my G1 back in the day and it was just awful. It never stayed on and I had to get it re-installed 5 or 6 times. I don't know how I got suckered into paying the $10 install so many times (they didn't charge me the 1st time and only charged me $5 the 2nd). Each time I brought it back they always said, oh we have revised the film to make it better.
After that I never went back to Ghost Armor...

Each time I brought it back they always said, oh we have revised the film to make it better.
After that I never went back to Ghost Armor...

Yea I didn't care because I would usually do it myself, but I'm not home for 6 months, went to MA for an internship, and where I'm staying was the mall with GA in there. So I gave it a shot since I don't have my usual stuff for putting on the body covers. I will see how it is when they install it. I had bought the SP from TMO again since its in the mall, but after seeing GA I returned the SP from TMO and they were nice to give me a referral for 10% off GA

Moshi antiglare screen protector

Worth every penny. No joke, if you like these get one from the AT&T store.
Sent from my Atrix 2.
Agreed. I have tried almost all of them and Moshi is the best IMO. No soapy water, no wait to cure and no bubbles. Just wipe off your screen and apply. And if you don't place it perfectly, just pick up and reapply. I have taken them off, rinsed them in the sink, let them air dry and reapplied, no problem. Some claim it desensitizes the screen, but not my experience. Can be a little pricey ($20 to $25) and hard to find at a discount, but well worth the ease of use for me.
Somehow I failed to notice that it completely covers the notification light. Fail.

does it degrade the screen quality? i ask because i have friends with iphones who bought anti-glare screen protectors and their screen looks horrible and they have the retina display.

I was also bummed when I noticed this (I thought the led was broken at first). I emailed Moshi and they said it was something Moto change last minute and to ask for a refund from AT&T. I bought a $2 xtreme guard from Amazon that came today. I'll try it out tomorrow and give ATT a visit.

I have the Moshi and while it is easy to use, covering the LED notification light is a deal breaker.
While it's a great idea, the Moshi isn't worth it. I bought it from the local AT&T store for about $30 and applied it in a couple seconds. I got home and realized that I put it on *slightly* off, so I took it off and washed it, then left it to air-dry. I let it dry for a bit more than 48 hours, and then I picked it up to apply it to my A2. There was STILL bits of residue from the water that was easily visible. I washed it again and dried it 3 more times, getting as much water off the screen as I could, but 2 days later there was still signs of water.
So, unless you can find a place to put a piece of plastic for a week without any dust getting on it, don't even think about washing it. As for the notification LED, I didn't notice it because it was only applied for a few hours, but it's certainly a deal-breaker for me. However, I'm a bit skeptical about Moshi's excuse. How could they NOT know that there was a notification LED for such a device? It sounds to me like the just didn't see it 0_O
Sigh... off to the AT&T store for me to see if I can get a refund, although I threw away that cheap (but expensive!) piece of plastic a couple days ago :\. It's too bad about the notification LED, because otherwise I would be willing to buy that again and just not wash it .
I bought one of these and it had the notification light issue, I emailed support and they sent me out a brand new one that corrects the issue for free. My wife has the same phone so I just put it on hers. I really dont need the notification light.
Don't like these or the extreme guards. I buy mine off ebay for a fraction of the cost and they work fine. Have always protected my screen and never damage anything.
The Moshi makes my screen look grainy.
The Xtreme is too hard to apply. One mess up and you might as well throw it away.

That's great! I might try doing that because it's a great screen protector besides the washing/reapplying thing.
EDIT!
I emailed them yesterday and they replied, saying:
Hello,
Thank you for your email.
We’ve heard from a few customers that the iVisor for the Motorola Atrix 2 doesn’t match the phone in the way it was intended to. Unfortunately, the phone’s design was changed at the last minute by the phone manufacturer and both AT&T and Moshi were unaware of this.
Please send it back to our Sunnyvale office and we'll send you an updated version of the iVisor for the Motorola Atrix 2 under warranty coverage.
Attn: Service Center
491 East Evelyn Ave.
Sunnyvale, CA 94086
Please make sure to include your return address and proof of purchase along with the following RMA number: ###########. We will send out the replacement within 7 days of receiving your RMA.
Best regards,
Technical Support

Since I don't have the protector with me I emailed them back asking if what I had was enough to exchange: The cardboard slip with instructions/warranty info, the cleaning cloth, and (possibly) the receipt from the AT&T store. I am waiting for a reply.
So, even if they did mess up and forget about the notification LED, they have great support and stay on top of all their products.
I love how the moshi screen protector looks on the phone. I'm not big on branding so the black under coating is perfect for hiding the AT&T and Motorola logos. After using an antiglare protector I can't be happy without it. However the dealbreaker for me was how little tackiness it had. Without a case holding the screen protector in place it would shift around in my pocket. Eventually it would slide off completely. I bought two, the first applied by the store associate, the second I applied myself. Same problem both times.
After a while of using the protector I think I would prefer a different one. It is very convenient but it is very soft and scratches/marks easily. Their technical support is amazing but the product is just OK... and also pretty expensive.
The feeling of the the screen protector is kind of weird... it's tacky but not tacky at the same time. It is very, very smooth... almost like a really clean chalk board, and you finger can very easily glide across it... but as soon as you apply too much pressure it gets fairly tacky.
It also makes the screen look grainy, although it's bearable.

Screen Protector needed

Do we have any options for screen protectors on this tablet? I'd prefer to use the tablet "naked" with only a film over the screen to help deter scratches. (I really don't care if the back gets scratched..)
Thanks

SKinomi makes one for the GT7+ and the quality is good but I'm warning you of their customer service. They have the worst customer service. You better hope you won't have to deal with them. They got 3 strikes from me just on one order.
1st: they forgot to process the order, I had to send them a followup email
2nd they again, forgot to send the item after 10 days from processing. I had to send them another followup email.
3rd: the item arrived, they forgot to include a squeegee! No big deal if this is just the case but they already f#$%ed me 2x.
Plus they only respond if you answer them basic questions but if they had to deal with these issues, they keep silent and doesn't even apologize for their mistake. This is just my experience though.. I hope this doesn't happen to you.
UPDATE: Just got a word from their manager. They are in the process of looking for a company that will provide a squeegee for them (no biggie). And he apologized for everything that had happened.. That's all I needed. .. and a full refund. All is well!
Something I stumbled upon a while back. I've not bought it as I hear "Santa" is bringing it to me.
Looks pretty good from here.

Is it a glossy style or a more matte style? Would you say fingerprints are more or less of a problem with this screen protector? Would you describe the film as stiff or more "stretchy"? Does the protector create an "orange peel" effect?
Thanks

The Skinomis I've used in the past on other devices (wet apply) are iffy. Some were rather "rubbery" (DroidX) and kind of shiny (TF101). The larger the more pliable. I replaced both. Not a real fan of "wet-apply" myself. Others swear by them. Both attracted fingerprints and other goobers but wiped off easily.

This is the clear style not matte. Im curious on how a matte protector wouldfeel or look like but this clear skin is better in reducing fingrprnts than having nothing. My hands sweat a lot and this really helps. The feel is similar to Bodyguardz if you had experienced it. Total opposite ofnthe zagg protector that ive used on a gt10.1. My fingers has a friction squeaking feel on a zagg but this one is smooth.
This film is "stretchy".. wet apply..have like 2 dozen bubbles on it right now because i had to attend to my crying 2 yr old while applying this thing. By the time i came back, the it was too late to redo. But im confident these bubbles will all go away in a couple of days. Will update when the time comes. Some of them are already gone after 24 hours.
Anyway, if youre a fan of bodyguardz then this would be perfect as well. "Skinomi25" coupon cvode on their website saves 25%
just to let every one know i ordered 2 kits from skinoni on Nov. 17 and the items did not ship till Nov. 30 and i have not received anything from them yet (Dec. 9). not very impressive shipping or customer service.

And i thought it was just me who had a horrible experience. Its a shame that skinomi builds high quality products but their customer svc is very incompetent and they have inefficient system.

I think it's more matte style, but I may be comparing it to phone protectors which I've used outside. No fingerprints on mine - I'm hella dark and ashy, and I have to use hand lotion all the time so chicks dig me. Fingerprints are a huge concern for me, so I am pleased with that aspect of the skin.
I don't notice any orange effect. I'm not sure if it's stretchy, but if you are talking about what I think you're talking about, then it is more stretchy than stiff(I'm guessing you mean kind of like camera film when describing it as stiff. I've had cheap protectors like that.)
Skip the atFolix stuff, I just got it and applied it. Frankly I'm happy they shipped two, as the product was god awful to apply and the first one I applied had a a couple scratches going down it.... so effectively it was burned...
Here's the Amazon feedback I just left and I'll elaborate more
----
Product not cut to size, with 1-3 mm from the edges of the tablet, gives it a cheap screen feel. The screen is only a single back applicator, meaning you only pull one side to apply. As a lot of other other screens use two backings, one to protect the adhesive and the other to protect the screen itself, you can expect some scratching on the screen itself due to the fact that the screens are shipped side by side and therefore rub and scratch during transit. Micro-scratches are very evident. Not happy with the quality and the somewhat self inflicted damage of the screens.
Finally shipper does not have tracking numbers available.
----
As for the cutting of the plastic, I've personally gotten better cut screens for my phones for less, then the cut of this plastic...
I wouldn't recommend this and given in couple months I'll most likely swap this screen out...

Great, just bought this one a few days ago. Bought one of the HandHeldItems cases too that was labeled as being for the 7+ but was for the original. Having zero luck with accessories for this tablet.......
Ya.... but worse comes to worse, atleast we took one for the team no?
That said I left feedback on the Amazon page, and we'll see if the seller responds no?

I'm getting the impression there are no good choices for this device. Perhaps I'll just get one of the generic "you cut it" protectors and cut it down to size myself.

Zagg has one available at best buy for the tab+ $24.
I miss when i got the original galaxy tab and there were pretty much a wide availability of aftermarket accessories for it. Not so much w/ the Plus. I'm still looking for a clear (non matte/anti-glare) and non-gummy screen protector.
I just got the skinomi finally last night and pulled it off after a minute of application. Just like the Zagg/invisibleshield product it has this grippy/gummy texture i don't like on my touchscreens. That's fine on the body if i don't want to use a case, but really not my preference on the screen.
What i want is a smooth, close to frictionless as possible on the touchscreen that affects the clarity as little as possible. In the past I like the Boxwave Crystals but they don't have any for our device, so I placed a request.
Anyone ever deal with this company? They list a screen protector specifically for our devices.
Looks promising. But then the Titanic looked promising..........

Oh believe me they have it. Their customer service is just plain incompetent and lazy. I got it after a couple of followups.. Oh and when USPS displays on their tracking website "Electronic Shipping Info Received" which indicates Skinomi already printed a shipping label for your item, don't settle and don't wait because for sure they will forget to send it in! Bang their heads until the tracking info starts moving. Then demand for a manager and get a refund for the trouble they've caused you. You then get the item for free. That serves them right because that item is their payment for the aggravation they've cause you. Just send them an email, be irate because I know you already are.

i sent numerous emails. i finally received the stuff from them it only took 34 days. i asked how to get a refund and was told they only offer a refund up till 30 days from order date. after many more emails they finally agreed that if i ship the stuff back they will refund my money. i will be doing my best to warn people of the terrible customer service at this site. not to mention the product comes all rolled up in a stupid tube in a huge package. wouldn't flat shipping the body kit make more sense than rolling it up tight?
