Product Description

This kit includes: Skinomi film for your device, installation squeegee, application solution, detailed instructions, and Lifetime Replacements program.

Skinomi TechSkin goes beyond traditional screen protectors, skins, covers, and cases. This protector is made from clear thermoplastic urethane film - the same film used to protect military aircrafts and NASA space shuttles. It has the ability to resist high levels of abrasion, making it the ultimate protector for gadgets and devices. The film ""scratch-proofs"" your device without adding bulk like traditional cases. Skinomi TechSkin is designed to provide lifetime protection for your device. If the film ever wears or scratches, Skinomi will replace it under the Lifetime Replacements Program, for as long as you need it for your device. If you ever need to remove the TechSkin, it peels off easily leaving no residues unlike other screen protectors or skins.

1.0 out of 5 stars really want to like it but too many flaws. THE LIFETIME WARRANTY IS A TOTAL SCAM, January 10, 2010

I just got my Nexus One and wanted to protect it.

I really like the idea for this particular model though the design is flawed.

Many of the pieces end at sharp points which started to peel back immediately during normal use. You can re-wet upto a point and stick it down but once its up, its up.

I have a pretty good fit and the spray helps to get everything stuck nicely but the screen cover has something on it that i cant get rid of. Like very tiny specs under the surface. Also in my experience the screen cover affected the sensitivity of the screen.

I like it but it wont last and for 15 bucks i expected a better design. the back went on nice, I really want to like it but its just going to peel off.

heres some picks so you can see for yourself:

I posted some images on flickr so search:

nexus one skinomi screen protector amazon 5556

to find them there.

UPDATE: I have removed, wet and re attached the screen protector several times now and reduced the blemishes considerably, some did dissipate as they dried.

I ended up trimming the pointed edges to reduce the chance of curling and that seems to have helped to. Still a flawed design and not easy to apply. two stars.**

2.0 out of 5 stars Once optomistic but disappointed, February 2, 2010

This review is from: Skinomi TechSkin - Skin Protector Shield Full Body for Nexus One (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I wanted an amazing protective coating for my nexus one. It's an expensive toy, it's best to protect your investments. So I went w/ this skinomi cover to coat the whole phone.
Putting it on was frustrating. I got to the point when the film wouldn't even stick on the surface, it would just slide over the surface w/o holding. I even lost a piece as they are easy to misplace.

I didn't use all the pieces but decided to leave most of them on to see how it is. It feels cheap to the touch. The edges came up after less than a week and it looked very unbecoming. Also, there still seems to be some grime under the screen. As well as bending of light such like light bends around droplets of water. It seems like droplets are trapped b/w the screen and the film. Overall I regret this purchase. They had a good idea, but the corners did not feel very good. And the screen could look better. I realize I am not a professional and it could have been installed better but I'm pretty meticulous and took my time w/ it. I just ordered the seido innocase II. I'll protect the phone that way. And the screen cover I'll leave for the time being. It does protect the screen after all. Maybe I'll replace it when I'm willing to spend money on a new one but for now it works.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works as advertised; side panel is a little difficult to install, January 19, 2010

My experience with this product has been very positive and I would advise some of the other reviwers to watch some of the installation available online before proceeding to apply it themselves. I gleaned some useful tips that helped make the process relatively painless.

The application is a little time consuming and requires patience. It is also important to be very liberal with the fluid that comes in the package. If you find yourself having to reapply the screen, douse it in the fluid again before trying to stick it back on.

On the negative side, the screens are not cut precisely for the Nexus One, but they're close enough for the imperfections to not be very noticeable. Also, the side panel is harder to apply.
