Has anyone tried ghost armor?

i have it on my prime.. it pretty good actually..
I have had Ghost Armor on all of my phones and intend to for my Prime because it's great stuff. I went to the Ghost Armor kiosk at the mall and didn't have it for the Prime. It's on the website so I'm sure I'll be able to order it. I just don't like doing it myself because I like the guarantee of having them re-do it if they get it wrong.

I have the prime and the keyboard dock... If I get the full coverage (screen protector + carbon fiber backing) will the prime still fit into the dock?

if you have the front and back protector on it will scratch.. i had the front and it scratch when i put it on.. but i figure out a way so it wont scratch the front now...you can see on the dock mount there is a long thin black pad (sticker) .. that what push against the screen and scratch it.. so i took it off and clean off all the glue with a q tip and alcohol...
So to clarify it scratches the screen protector, the carbon fiber, or the prime itself?
The screen protector. But the prime itself it untouched

I ordered it from the mall kiosk. They will install it when it comes in. I have GA on my mytouch 4G. Had it on since day one. It has a couple scratches but the back and front are in tact. Sides started to come off after over a year of going in and out of my pocket and 2 decent drops. But front and back held up better than I would have guessed. I still think I can peel off the GA and sell my mytouch in great condition on eBay. I'm sure there are other great solutions, might even have a little less "orange peel" factor or a fraction of a percent more translucency. But if you are lazy and want an excellent case, no bubbles, no worries... Do yourself a favor and hit up the kiosk.

sorry for all the questions but...i must ask another (maybe a few):
how hard is it to dock it with both on without those black stripes being removed?...and how is the back? is it like the ipad on with the corners cut so they dont bubble up b/c of the bend? or are there small strips that go along the edges?

You are a freaking godsend! I was scratching my head over what to do about mine bubbling up and I didn't think to look into the groove to investigate. You saved me $30 and are very deserving of your +thanks.
I will spread the word if I see anyone else with the problem.
No problem..glad i could help ...

Yeah, they offered to order it for me, but I just don't trust them to complete an order correctly. The kiosk nearest me has the highest employee turnover I've ever seen.
I honestly am not gonna install a screen protector it makes it look ugly and decreases the sensitivity of it....
Plus I will be docked 90% of the time anyways

Here is what I do not understand. Putting a screen protector on Gorilla Glass, sounds like overkill to me. My Inspire has it and it rolls around in my pocket with change/keys and not a single scratch, not even a tiny minor one on the phone. I scratch almost all of my phones in one way or another so this is fantastic. I never understood protectors because they make the screen look like junk (and the primes screen is FANTASTIC). And from what I've used, sometimes make it less responsive.
I guess why would you put a protector on it? Don't believe me about the scratch resistance, go look on their website, or come find me i'll take my key s to my phone and show you how good the gorilla glass is. Or maybe you're using the prime as a frisbee, and in that case nothing will help you . Maybe someone can shed some light on this for me.

I've only had one screen protector that was noticeable and ugly, it also effected the screen sensitivity, that was a anti glare/finger print which I got from Verizon. I've had several clear protectors since that you can't tell they are there, and they didn't have sensitivity issues.

Gorilla glass is overrated, I baby my phone and it has a lot of scratches. The only reason I didn't get a protector is because I went through 6 thunderbolts (doesn't have gorilla glass) and after the first three I quit using screen protectors and the screen never got a scratch, and I had the last one for 2 months. I thought if the t bolt screen was that good then gorilla glass would be better, not so, my bionic started getting scratched up within the first week.

I highly recommend an Invisishield. I love their products, given that my Epic 4G Touch has one. But needless to say, I was a little reluctant to have Geek Squad install one on my Prime, given that I purchased the unit for the original Transformer. We "ghetto rigged" it perfectly, and it came out really well! I am very pleased with how it looks! Give it a shot if you're anything like me... someone who needs instant gratification.

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!

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.
Phantomskinz just released their tf skinz w00t. I really like how smooth their screen protector is and how the carbonfiber chromatics look on. My evo shift.
Too bad they don't have a matching set for the dock or id be tempted to get the chromatics (maybe even the white one this time around) again. Guess I'm just gonna get the screen protector for now
Anyway, really recommend it, specially if you think the tf screen produces too much friction.

Looks like the Chromatics are $5 cheaper on Amazon.
Black Carbon Fiber: http://amzn.to/lP0lxm
White Carbon Fiber: http://amzn.to/k6dLT8
Didn't know they sold via amazon as well.
Either way...I just contacted them about skins for the dock and they said they don't have any plans for it. Not really interested in a half dressed tablet so I'm just gonna go with the screen protector.
Now to decide wether to get my tf replaced due to a single spec of dust under the screen...before I put the screen protector on.

Nice, are you getting the skins free?
The skinomi skins look good as well, but I'm more interested in the screen protector, and more specifically, the texture of it.
How's skinomi in that regards?

skinomi has GREAT support.
Basically what happened was I got my skinomi carbon fiber silver
a week ago and my ASUS Transformer sadly had to go through an RMA
due to my speakers dead =/
I already applied the skin and now i have to remove them due to RMA.
I told skinomi this and they were able to resolve this issue and send me a REPLACEMENT for free.
Now thats great company right there and they should see my business from now on.
I didn't even had to return an old one or pay any shipping or deduction fees.

I like the screen protector although it is not as hard as others; it has a nice touch to it but is easily dented by fingernails etc.

i noticed that as well with my evo shift. when applying the skin, trying to remove all the air bubbles, i might have pressed to hard on certain areas, and those parts of the skins are now a bit stressed.
that the only thing keeping me from getting it. although i wonder if that's the compromise to prevent the orange-peel effect some other skins have, and phatomskinz doesn't.
I just talked to phantomskinz and they say the protect does not reduce glare and that is one of the big things I want to improve. Can anyone confirm this?

It doesn't reduce glare. It is as shiny (the screen) as it is naked.
For those wondering, the carbon skin (and probably the clear one as well, although im not sure) is 9 pieces.
I attached some pictures of it installed. Sorry the pictures are not too clear. I had to reduce the size due to the upload limit for attachments. I can take the pictures again if someone wanted better ones.
wow..$35 dollars for stickers? these companies are minting money.
@skapur, well, it's not just a sticker. it comes with a clear screen protected, and the "sticker" is made of vinyl, and cut for the device. that being said, yea, way overpriced.
@cal
yes please. mind taking shots of the seams? also, do you have the dock? how does it look without matching bottoms? would you recommend it?

Was really interested in getting a Phantomskinz, but alas, they don't ship to HK.

By seams, do you mean where the pieces end?
I just got the dock this week. It is a little snug, but I dont know if it is because of the skin+screen protector because I never got to try the dock without it on. The dock did leave a line of imprint on the bottom of the screen protector where the docking "v" or "u" slides over the tablet.
I think it looks a little funny without the dock having a matching skin, but I have gotten used to it.
Ive had the skin+ screen protector on for around 2 weeks now and nothing has peeled or anything. The only thing is that they cut around the speakers so the skin is very thin on the sides of it (on the screen and backside side) and it has folded inward. But not a major problem for me.
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.

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.

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.

So my 2 day old Note has a hairline scratch that is only visible with the screen off in the right light. I am told that if I get this screen protector it will more than likely hide the scratch, and obviously prevent new ones. I'm curious to hear if others have this and like it. I have never used a screen protector because I don't like the way they look and feel, but apparently this screen is very easily scratched, despite me only keeping it in my pocket by itself.

So my 2 day old Note has a hairline scratch that is only visible with the screen off in the right light. I am told that if I get this screen protector it will more than likely hide the scratch, and obviously prevent new ones. I'm curious to hear if others have this and like it. I have never used a screen protector because I don't like the way they look and feel, but apparently this screen is very easily scratched, despite me only keeping it in my pocket by itself.

Yes the Zagg or any Zagg type screen protector will make any light scratch invisible. I was the guy who posted about a scratch . Anyways my Zagg came in like a day after it happened, I put it on and I cant even see the scratch.
Does Zagg still have the orange peel look?

Yes it does and it kinda sucks, I always buy BSE skins (Best skins ever) but they only have the international version atm.
Have the Zagg Dry Invisi-Shield installed on mine, front and back protection, and both he dry and wet install shields leave little indented marks when you use the s-pen because they are soft. At first its barely noticeable but the little grooves build up over time. Just something to consider, depending on how much you use the s-pen.

I wish they would have just left the s pen off because I'm never going to use it. It should just be a smartphone, not even tablets come with stylist pens now days. Oh well, I'm still really enjoying the phone. Can't wait for ICS to come out and fix the stutter/non responsive bugs when flipping through home pages.
Check ebay. It's cheaper and free shipping.

I use my s-pen. A lot. Glad they don't base their product manufacturing decisions around your personal preferences. Indespensibe for fine- photo editing, PDF annotation, mobile signatures and the list goes on and on.
Damn that stylus kills the device! Oh well, not everyone listens to Steve.

I went to Best Buy and and exchanged the phone for a new one because of the scratch and bought the InvisibleShield. I'm not crazy about the Orange Peel look, but it's better than the scratched screen look.
i have the shield on mine as well........after having the rocket for 5 months and not having a case nor a screen protector i had to get one for the notes awsome screen.
and the S-pen is Great. i use it for texting and everything. the write to text is pretty accurate and fast when you get used to it. my only gripe is that with the Zagg shield the pen does not flow quite as smoothly so it hickups here and there when not applying just the right amount of pressure.
I actually wish that it had the physical home button like the Intl version. I saw some neat tips and tricks -such as disable touch screen -which would be great for movies, etc -especially with children...
I went with the Rearth Ringbo screen cover. Cant comment since I ordered it this AM.

I was 1 click away from ordering that. I ended up with the SGP because I didn't know which was better. I haven't done screen protector shopping in a while. Is the Rearth better than
SGP?
I just learned after buying the Invisible Shield that even though they offer a lifetime "free" replacement, it costs $4 for them to ship it to you and you have to pay to ship it back. In what world is that free?
I bought the invisible sheild today from bestbuy. Not really liking how it feels "tacky" compared to the slick glass. Something to keep in mind when considering purchasing it.

I bought the Zagg tonight, installed it and thought I had it on perfect! Was all proud of myself. Went to go turn the screen on and all these rainbow colors and weird looking dots all over between the screen and shield! I was so pissed. I think I sprayed too much of their liquid on. I should have just paid Best Buy to install. What a waste of money. $22 down the drain.
bought some screen protectors on Amazon to get here Thursday and then 6x off of eBay. I don't care if I have to replace one a month. I'm not spending $20 anymore on one screen protector.
Zagg has also started making an HD version of there screen protector, this one does not give you the orange peel look like the old ones. Right now i think it is only for the Iphone but give it some time they will probity start making them all like that.
I didn't see a thread about this in the accessories section here, so I figured it would be a good one since many people will be getting one, despite the Gorilla Glass supposedly being a good protector as-is.
In my experience, good screen protectors will accomplish one of two things, but never both:
1) Invisibility - you don't even notice it is there, and does not mar your screen quality whatsoever (a big perk when your new phone's biggest feature may be the screen)
2) Glare-resistant - you sacrifice some of your screen's brightness and jump-off-the-phone clarity and colors, yet you do get much less glare, improved visibility outside in the sun, and it tends to have a smoother feel when swiping across the screen.
The purpose in this thread was to allow people to share recommendations for screen protectors on both fronts. I, personally, want one that won't hinder my phone's screen quality (although my OG EVO has a glare-resistant one on it right now). Any recommendations on brand, type, deals, etc?
Also, I've noticed that many of them won't be available until June or so, which is frustrating since I want to have a protector on mine as I walk out of the store next Friday. Ideas? Do I just buy the cheapest thing possible until a great one is available? Risk going without one for a couple weeks?
Share your thoughts and plans here! One week to go!
XO Skins is already shipping them. They posted a few videos today reviewing the phone on their youtube channel. You can get one here.

I have been using them for a while on my Nexus. I am considering switching to the evo lte or the galaxy III. I am waiting for that to compare, but the review in my signature has a tun of comments feedback etc. It's the best one on the market imo. I would get the full body on these since the back of the evo lte looks pretty weak. These don't have orange peel like others and have a lifetime warranty. The best coupon floating around is sprintxo

Hmmm I usually get ghost armor but I might pick this up instead.
Just bought some screen protectors make sure you guys use the
discount code: sprintxo
30% off
i have had the same skinomi one on my epic for 2 years now..they are pretty thick and protect well as well have having a lifetime replacement (just pay shipping). however i may not spend the $7 to get one this time around because while it protects really well, you can definitely tell it's there. the glare isn't bad on it either. being 2 years old i am unsure if they changed the formula for making them though.
I always buy phantom skinz. They are great. You can't tell visibly that they are there. Not anti glare and they're not real rubbery feeling like Zagg and you get 2 for 1.
Usually have a coupon code for 15-30% off. Which usually makes them 2 for $7-9. Can't beat that.
*Edit: Coupon code is ComeBack30 for 30% off making the screen protector 6.96 for 2
On my original evoi had one of Sprints matte screen protectors which weren't too bad, but prefer a screen protector that does not sacrifice screen quality, I had used ZAGG on my HTC touch pro and is currently on my Prime.The feel of the screen is a bit rubbery at first, but once it breaks in it feels very comfortable and smooth. It does not sacrifice any quality and they offer protection for the back of the phone as well. Unfortunately, ZAGG did not have anything listed yet for the Evo LTE , I did email them and got this response:

I second this. Steinheil is the GOAT. Crystal Clear, doesn't diminish the screen, very durable.
They will be making them soon enough. I need to find something temp for the time being. Because I am a danger around things which aren't protected.
Can't stand the ones with liquid though. They always freak me out.
U guys need to get on sgp about their protctors then soon....

Eh, they 'll still make them. A lot of assessory places say they have no plans but they are waiting to see the demands.
I'd be more concerned if a case maker said that, since it takes more resources. Screen protectors is a matter of cutting the right size.

I know they will still make them but might not as soon as we'd like...
Case makers say the same thing btw, its a straight company line unless they are already into production with the item b/c only then will they be able to 100% confirm they are going to have one.
I know the overall outside dimensions b/w the EVOLTE are different than the OneX slightly but what about the screen?.....should OneX screen protectors not work on the EVOLTE? or is the dimension of the actual screen different too slightly...The MAIN difference is the OneX case on the inside on the screen has round edges where as the EVOLTE is squared off in the corners...
might be worth something trying there for those that want to...
I'm waiting for the Steinheil protectors as well. They're the best. Period.

I may be in the minority on this, but is a screen protector really necessary with these new gorilla glass screens??
just ordered a full body protector from xo skins. Ill give it a try since i had ghost armor last and it had slight orange peel look. Thanks to "stretched" for the code.

I am wondering the same. Been running my OG EVO for about a year naked. Has a few minor scratches. If the new screen is more scratch proof I am not sure if a protector is necessary. But I would hate myself for scratching my new phone.
Just don't know what to do about this.

Gorilla glass won't stop dust or dirt from scratching it. This has been beaten to death in some other topics but the gist is that the key scratch tests etc don't scratch it because brass is softer than gorilla glass. Dirt and some dust is much harder so it will scratch. It's stronger than most glass, but not scratch proof. That's why people still use protectors, let them take the beating, if they get damaged, peel it off and slap another on there.
I got an extra screen protector left over from clarivue for the original evo. Will have to see how well it fits the evo lte, even if it doesn't cover up the screen entirely.
