I don’t want to comment the item, for I did not use it even though I bought it. I’m returning it without opening the shipping package for the slow shipping, slow email reply. I just feel ignored. I got it in 10 days after I placed my order…… maybe it’s accidental, but it’s really bad to me…

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.

This was my first time buying Skinomi – I got it for my Nexus One. I looked up a couple of reviews online – they all recommend going slowly and taking your time applying the skin. I did and it worked as was expected. As promised, most of micro-bubbles disappeared within 48 hours. 4 days later I can hardly tell it’s there – no glare, no fingerprints, no dust. IMHO, quality-wise it’s an excellent product.

Using the tool provided in the packaging, the screen protector scratched during installation! The tool provided is a bit of plastic, like a small credit card, used to smooth out (i.e. remove air bubbles) the screen protector during installation. The edges of it were poorly finished and sharp, causing the scratch.

Seeing that it had a lifetime replacement warranty, I thought I would just send it back for replacement. After visiting this page on their website ([...]), I saw the following:

“Fill out the product registration form as soon as you obtain your item.”

The words “product registration form” are a hyperlink, leading you to believe they will take you to the form. They are merely linked back to the homepage of the site. Performing a search for the term “registration” on the site’s search engine produces no matching results. The same page also provides the following information:

“Your replacement TechSkin is free of charge. A reshipping and handling charge of $3.95 ($5.95 for larger TechSkins) per replacement TechSkin will apply for all replacements in the USA and Canada.”

So replacement is not really free of charge? And how large is “larger”?

The skin for the Nexus one actually comes in seven different pieces. Some of the pieces are very skinny (i.e. less than 1/4″ wide) and difficult to install. Do you have very small fingers or were you born an elf? If not, good luck.

I was somewhat disappointed that after I ordered this that it got negative reviews. But after applying the skin on my phone and having it on for a day, I am happy with the product.

The smallest bits of the Nexus One skinomi will stick better if applied without the solution and a steady hand (or tweezers). I have not had any problems with the sharp corners peeling up, and I have it in and out of the neoprene case dozens of times per day.

Probably the only thing that could be improved with this product in my opinion is the tiny hole for the rear microphone could be enlarged a bit.
