Hey guys. Just wanted to let you know that Ghost Armor has finally made a shield for the Rezound. I might be checking this out soon.
i had them do a custom screen for me. guess its time to get it redone. thanks for the heads up!
If anyone gets the full body coverage, please put up some pictures. I'd like to see how they do the battery cover, since the cover isn't a smooth surface.
I wouldn't do the back, even if the offer it. Why cover a non slip surface with a smooth slippery material? Don't get me wrong I loved the full body armor on my TP2 but the back of that device was smooth hard plastic. The rubbery film added grip to that device.
I asked the guy at the Ghost Armor kiosk at the mall and he said he'd have it next week.
Never heard of ghost armor. Can someone elaborate please.

Try Google, then search "Ghost Armor, HTC Rezound"
Worked for me.
It's not slippery at all. They even have carbon fiber films

Got mine installed yesterday at the mall. Overall I like it, and I like the warranty, but taking it back today for a re-do - did not dry clear.

Did you do the back?

Nope, just the screen.
Update: The first protector they guy put on didn't dry well and left a haze. I went back the next day and after a couple of tries he put another one on - no charge. Looked much better at first. When I got back to the office I noticed that it looked like I had water UNDER my SCREEN. Called the guy and he told me to bring it in. Went directly back and sure enough, some of the liquid they use to put the protector on (soap and water) got under the top layer of the screen. He put my phone in his dryer for about a half and hour and it had already started to look better. By the next day it was gone completely.
I'm a glutton for punishment; I'll go back and let him try one more time.

Maybe it's that lip around the glass.
Almost like the case was fit around the bezel, if that makes sense?
I was actually thinking of how installing to edge of the screen would go. I'll probably order this weekend.
i would, but i have otterbox defender series, so, there is no point. lol
As far as look and feel, is this similar to the Zagg invisibleSHIELD? Personally I can't stand the Zagg stuff! It's almost impossible to put on and after some time the edges collect lint if you keep the phone in your pocket.

IMHO, better than Zagg. Less orange peel.
I really want to see the white carbon fiber full body kit. I wonder if they make one for the full body extended battery.
Here is a video I found of a guy that got the Black Carbon fiber put on his Rezound...... looks pretty sweet. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2XDwxcnSZk

Do you have bubbles under the protection? Do you see the protection or is your shield really invisible ?
For my first two devices I used Brando anti-glare protectors (shop.brando.com.hk) and was very happy. It was a couple of years ago though, so they may have changed since.
But whatever you do, don't buy Proporta!
Their protectors are too small for the screen of the TyTN, and when (on their recommendation) you return the protector they will not send you a replacement. And when you tell them how unhappy you are with the situation they just stop answering your emails.

If applied properly & very carefully, then there are no bubbles. I have none, and it's transparent.
I use exim screen protector. I can definitely recommend it to anyone.
i agree with tiatrop,
i use the exim SPUC screen protectors on all my devices.
you can peel them off and reapply them,
the instruction says you can even wash them, but i've yet to try it.
and any bubbles when putting them on, can easily be pushed out.
I agree with bamse, I've been using Brando for years, I did try another brand on my C500 a couple of years back, they didn't come up to scratch. I'm using on my herm, no probs no bubble (you need to spend a little time carefully applying).
Boxwave has some good screen protectors. I'm using their crystal clear on my 8525 now and had the anti-glare on my HP iPAQ.

I washed mine once. It fell on the carpet so you can imagine the things that got stuck there! Damaged the corner a little bit but it was completely reapplyable, and I managed to get all the dust out with scotch-tape. Hence my recommendation.
Wow, thank you all for you recommendations. I definitely check them out.
But is there a way to apply a SP, without having bubbles? What you mean exactly with "carefuly"?
Do you use credit cards for that? I red that credit cards for appling are an evil thing.
I guess it's tall order to say make a youtube tutorial, haha...

I actually had this on my previous 8525 that I had to send back for warranty replacement. It is a booger to put on..took me a good half hour to do it right. The cutout pcs are not all exactly perfect but fit good enough. I really like it. It held up very well, gave the phone a slick glossy finish and made for good traction when I would set my phone down on my center console in my truck.(previously if I tried that it would slide(actually fly) off the vinyl covered console if I hit the brakes too hard or turned a corner too fast... with the Shield on there it never slipped. I am going to order another one now for this warranty replacement as well..just been waiting to make sure this device didnt fail before installing another shield!

wouldnt a credit card or anything similar work?
I've been using screen protectors for some time now on my previous and current PDA's and phones; HP has a nice system of protectors that have grids on the removable side to assist in visually getting the best fit. Would never use my 8525 without one... and yes, anything like an old credit card, cut to the right size, will work to get air bubbles out.
But thanks to this thread, I've now ordered the Bodyshield; if it's all it's claims to be, AND with a lifetime guarantee, it should be worth the $24.95.

It does not come with tools, but the instructions recommend a credit card. Note that this is re-applyable if U have bubbles on the 1st try.
I was just wondering around and found this: http://www.ghost-armor.com/HTC/717.html
i was actually surprised to see our devices were supported since we dont have otterbox or seidio.
has anyone tried this?
There are a couple references to the product if you search. I wish there was a kiosk in Houston. I would try one if it was installed by someone who has done it dozens of times. I doubt I could get it right on my own and good installation is key to these things looking good.

Likin' the white carbon fiber...idk about spending that much for some sticky plastic tho..

I have owned Ghost Armor on my old TP2 and my current Dinc.
As far as the back cover goes, I really don't see how much it really protects. Just basically lets you keep the same feel of your phone and look (clear protector) and protects from scratches.
The screen protector, I feel is one of the best available. If you install it correctly you barely know it's there.
As a test I took my Touch Pro 2 and rubbed the screen all over the cement sidewalk, the screen was still the same as when I bought it used. Also makes scratches on your screen disappear. The ghost armor seems to go back to its normal form and it was left almost brand new with faint scratches. I recommend it to anyone.
And, they offer a life time guarantee no matter what. Just pay shipping/install fee.
How do you guys like your Amaze? I'm looking to buy one and switch to t-mobile, as I'm on PagePlus and can get more for the same price.
And as for the price of the "Stick Plastic" It is fairly expensive $20 for the screen, but you can replace it as much as you want. I normally got a new one every 2-3 months just for the heck of it. It doesn't leave your screen with anything sticky either.

Yeah if their put on right they're amazing, nearly invisible.
Worth the money all the way. When you go to sell the phone a lot of the time the main selling point is the screen. Back cases can always be replaced and cases cover up sides.
Nice to see a fellow houstonian on the board! My brother ordered it for his GS2 - very simply install! He did it himself.

I was talking about Ghost Armor. They have kiosks too.
A little late on this one, but I would like to say I am happy with my Ghost Armor.
I was in SF and they have a kiosk at the Serramonte Mall. So I happen to be in town with my new Amaze and I first went looking for Zagg because I had great experience with them. But the 2 locations I called didn't have anything available in stock for the Amaze.
So I was walking the mall and saw Ghost Armor. 15 bux for the front screen protector and 5 bux to install. I figure I would let the guy put it on. He put it on and baked the phone for a little bit and it came out looking fantastic. It feels great and I would recommend them. They also say the material is forever warrantied. And as long as you have most of it left, you can bring it to a kiosk and pay 5 bux and they will install a new piece of armor. And I am going to assume that is pending availability of the product.

do they actually "bake" it? i dont like the sound of that lol
They put it in a type of air circulation box, not really baking it, but speeding up the process of evaporating the water they used to apply the protector.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
it does seem to somewhat "bake" it though. the box circulates air but it also produces a certain amount of warmth, kinda get iffy whenever I have a replacement screen protector applied.
that said, it works far better than zagg (which ive used for all of my previous devices) the only downside is that it produces small visible dents in the screen protector after time, none that inhibit the safety of the device but do take away from the aesthetic of the screen.

Bake was probably the wrong word... They do put it in some sort of box and the phone does come out warm. They do turn the phone off before applying the screen protector. The warmth of the phone from the treatment would be similar how warm a phone gets after some extensive usage.

It's an amazing case. I like it, except the belt clip has failed after 1 month of use.
Here's a photo of the point of failure. I took the phone out which is usually just clipped on just bit past the side of my hip near the back. And it came out with ease, and upon inspection the clip cracked.

I'm a stone mason, I cut stone on a regular basis....I take my 16 part Defender case off about every other day and clean the dust off of it. So I would say that it doesn't do great, but it doesn't suck in this department either.
I also use my holster because I'm just not a fan of putting this giant case/phone in my pocket, but the problem with that is that if you turn it screen out, well obviously that's just bad....if you turn it screen in, your camera is wide open - I usually end up using a q-tip or a shirt on the end of pen or something to clean the dust off of it.
I'm actually looking for some type of rubber plug of some sort to go over the camera on this defender case - no luck yet.
Overall though, I've dropped this phone in the defender a bunch of times on the worksite - nothing bad yet.

one problem i have with this case is the lil rubber flap that goes over the charge port.. it keep wearing down from opening it and closing it.. after a few months it just falls off.. they already sent me a new outter layer and it just happen again!!! kinda sux... i kno they will send another one put it just a pain in the a$$.. i mite just deal with it being off.. i work around dust sometimes but i put my phone in my backpack anyways..
I gave up on my Otterbox cause of that flap. I finally went with a screen protector and TPU case and I'll probably never go bad to a thick case again. Going thin bought a new found joy in my phone. Also that screen protector on the defender was horrible. I totally forgot how beautiful my screen looks without that horrible screen protector.

I used to use a TPU case and the invisishield HD screen protector. Was a great combo up until I noticed the bottom left corner of aluminum was bent. I was able to straighten it out and just recently ordered the OtterBox Defender and despite the extra bulk I am still happy with it.
I just contacted otterbox for another case replacement today. I have ran thru 3 cases and 2 clips now since June. The little dust flap for the charger port snapped off just from normal use charging once a day at nighttime. Still love the case and am definitely getting my $ worth.

Tempered glass screen protectors. Anyone using them? I have put one on my iphone 5s and was really impressed. Found a no name brand and it worked well for $6. I can't pay alot for them. Goes against that sale instinct in me!
So it made me look for one for the mega. I had a cheap glare free plastic one on temporarily which was fine, but I wanted a glass one. Hard to find. Here's what I bought. $12.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/111253895644?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Put it on last nite. I used the hinged method, with an extra piece of tape on the free side for precise placement. It went on beautifully, but I thought I was sloppy cause I saw a fingerprint after application, and I was really mad at myself. But I was so meticulous, I couldn't believe it.
The more I worked with it, I saw it wasn't a fingerprint, but a portion of adhesion that didn't stick the size of a fingerprint. I worked it more, maybe the warmth of my fingers finally got it to adhere. So I was not sloppy afterall. If you have this problem, just give it a little time. I almost was tempted to lift it and clean, resisted the thought, and I was rewarded for my patience. It's a perfect application 8 hours later.
I'm a perfectionist.... Couldn't do it lol selling my mega anyways

I have applied 2. the iphone was perfect, the mega ended up with 1 tiny speck of dust on the top- off the screen, in the black perimeter. It only bothers me cause I know it's there. lol. If you use the hinged method, with that extra piece on the free end, and use a tape roll on the screen (tape rolled around your finger with the sticky side out) after you clean it, and right before you peel stage 1 on the protector do it again, you should be good. There are some pretty inexpensive glass ones now available. No way would I try it with a $30 one. I paid $12 for the mega one and that was big $$ for me!! lol
I also hear if you put your screen saver on after someone showers in the steamy bathroom it cuts down on all the dust! (tip from G) I never resorted to this, wanting to be comfortable at a table that has been cleaned well.
you need to use the hinge method, with some tape on the side of the sceen protector/phone before you peel of the bottom part, but theres another trick i learned which i practice and lets me put a screen protector 100% perfect...
you do all this in the bathroom, before you do tho, you turn on the shower with hot water, and let the room get steamy.. picks up all the flying arrownd dust, and your screen protector will be 100% perfect.
try it on, thank me later.
I have one of the screen protectors, i can say they are awesome, they make your screen feel so buttery smooth, I bought the Glass.m one and i havent got any finger print mark or oil, or even dust applying it.

Absolutely!!! If you mess up the application, you chalk it up to experience. Although if you are careful, check out videos on youtube, and follow the tips here, you should be good for a terrific application! Just be mindful of dust. That's your worst enemy and will create bubbles. So dust proof all you can. I work on my kitchen table that has been dusted and windexed. dust off all my tools and use tape rolls. roll the tape around your finger and pretend you are removing dog hair. But it is invisible dust. Then go for it! I never tried the shower trick. I hear it really helps. but again, make sure the surface you are working on is really clean. Good luck!
I found mine on ebay. Amazon has them, but charges shipping.

Went on very easily once I removed the hard shell case I had on the phone. Comes with moistened cleaning cloth and microfiber cleaning cloth and I didn't need to mess with hinging or scotch tape or anything else. Used both cloths to clean the screen and quickly applied the screen protector and NO TRAPPED DUST.
It's only been a few days, but no bubbles, no slipping, and everything seems to work with no lag. Even hovering still works.

just got mine from overseas for a whooping penny. Only problem is the button is sunk down a little bit. guess ill get use to it. putting it on is easy. you can lay it on and slip it around before you push on the middle to get it to set. mine came out perfect
Just be careful on where you get it, I got my first one and the glass got messed up from the cleaning I did and when I tried to get the lint hair out of the adhesive part of the screen it broke. Now on to my second glass (privacy shade) and the only defect is that it is a little too thick for touch response but it serves it's purpose (touch still responsive at times)

Tempered glass screen protectors. Anyone using them? I have put one on my iphone 5s and was really impressed. Found a no name brand and it worked well for $6. I can't pay alot for them. Goes against that sale instinct in me!
So it made me look for one for the mega. I had a cheap glare free plastic one on temporarily which was fine, but I wanted a glass one. Hard to find. Here's what I bought. $12.

Put it on last nite. I used the hinged method, with an extra piece of tape on the free side for precise placement. It went on beautifully, but I thought I was sloppy cause I saw a fingerprint after application, and I was really mad at myself. But I was so meticulous, I couldn't believe it.
The more I worked with it, I saw it wasn't a fingerprint, but a portion of adhesion that didn't stick the size of a fingerprint. I worked it more, maybe the warmth of my fingers finally got it to adhere. So I was not sloppy afterall. If you have this problem, just give it a little time. I almost was tempted to lift it and clean, resisted the thought, and I was rewarded for my patience. It's a perfect application 8 hours later.

i have it on my Mega ( i9205 ) and i must say it saves the life of the screen. dropped it several times and only thing that breaks is the temperred glas so i ordered several times on ebay and apply goes easy, just clean the screen and see if the bottom and the top fits then drop it on the screen
it will apply by it self in a minute
then just gently push it till all ends are applied.
and to be sure use a hair dryer over it.
got my 3rd tempered glass now since 26-05-2014 and still no scratches/burst of something weird its just perfect.

to make sure it sticks good on the screen because it has a sticking layer and since its glass it.
thats how i did mine, took me not even 10 minutes to apply and its perfect applied
I bought this white back for the phone to see what i could do with it. I took the letters off because they were not stuck on there good. They came off with a dust can.
Decided to paint it a sliver color to match the frame as close as possible. I hand painted the inside of the letters black. I don't know what to do about the "M" yet, if i'm going to put one on there or not. Maybe something else, idk.
This is what I have so far. It looks like it has a brushed look to it. After I painted it, I scuffed it with a dish scrubber to give it that look.
Last thing I do, will be spray a satin clear.
That thread title though.
Looks good.

I'm going to see how this one holds up first. I have some ideas for other covers lol
just cleared it a bit ago. ended up using a matte clear. just going to let it dry really good and maybe polish it a lil before installing it.
looks pretty good
Would be nice to see it on your phone!
I like it
I just got around to installing it.

I'd buy one from you if you decide to sell it
Definitely a cool option to have something unique like that.
This does look cool. But I wonder what kind of spray paint you used and even more importantly what kind of clear coat are you going to use to withstand bending? When one removes and puts back on one has to bend this cover a bit and I'm not sure how well will paint and coat withstand this?

I used rust-o-leum paint and clear. I'm not worried about the bending. I'm taking this one off in the next few days.
I started another one with a different silver. I wont be reusing the current one.
FYI they make paint for plastic (bendable) it's mostly for bumpers on cars
I took the cover off earlier and the paint held up very well, i didnt bend the cover a whole lot to begin... i wasnt going to use it again so i decided it to test how much bend it would take and i had to bend it a lot in order for the paint to wrinkle.
I tried doing something similar for my daughter that got bored by the same old phone sleeve/case that was partially clearly transparent and partially frosted look.
I decided to paint the frosted part using RAL 9005 matte black spray paint. I haven't clear coated it yet as it was just an experiment. If it turns out to be ok I may coast it using some not so rigid coat to avoid cracking due to the rubbery nature of this sleeve.
She likes the end result. Me too. Unfortunately I'm not able to add images to my posts (haven't posted enough posts to XDA - apparently)

How did you stick the back cover back on?
I'm curious to know what you used to stick the cover on with.
The reason I ask is that my first Nexus 6 came with the cover unstuck right out of the box. I returned it (partly because I was worried that the battery may have swelled) but I'd be interested to know how hard it would have been to stick the cover back down again.

Uuhm... i had thought the idea of seeing more than one back cover in some of the more recent photo's would have indicated it... but also in the first post he says he bought a white back cover a while ago to see what he could do with it. He didn't remove and replace the same back cover. Pretty sure that's NOT possible due to the adhesive... or at least risks the ability to put it back on firmly and smoothly.
