Ghost Armor?

---

Has anyone had any experience with these protectors?

My T-Mo screen protector is toast, after I accidentally dropped my keys in my phone hand, while getting out of the car. Big, annoying dent in the surface (better than in the phone, that's for sure).

The pack of replacements I got at the store were used and bent (taking them back, because that's bull****), but the cool T-Mo dude told me I should go get Ghost Armor instead. He had it on his HD2, and it looked decent enough. I don't think I'd want it to cover the whole phone (because of the docks coming out, and so forth), but I'm definitely interested in having it cover the screen.

What say you, forums?

I have ghost armoured every phone i have ever owned. They are great, prices seem to have gone up but they install it for you and once you have it and something is wrong (like say, your case where there may be a dent in the cover itself) you can have it completely replaced for 5 bucks. Only thing i say about it is MAKE SURE you baby the heck out of the phone for the first 24 hours, that is when you will screw it up!

I like the ghost armor a lot more than the zagg ones

I used Best Skins Ever on my G1 when I got it; still looks like the day I put it on (only covered the face, not the whole body) aside from a small spot on the screen edge where I would push with my thumbs to slide it open. Held up like a champ for over 2 years!

Here's the HTC section of their site: http://www.bestskinsever.com/catalog...turer[]=19

Pretty sure Zagg and GA are pretty much the same exact thing.

So I just had mine applied, and it's obviously still drying. But, I have to say...

This looks like garbage-ass, in any amount of light.

The material has all kinds of bumps and imperfections on the surface that show up in the slightest amount of light. They didn't have the kits, so the dude did a notoriously bad job on a custom cut. There are pen marks all over the window tint material, and the cuts are not even, so the entire surface of the phone is not covered. Brilliant.

Dude rush-jobbed it in like 5 minutes, and was busy douching it up with a bunch of other customers, or else I would've just told him to re-do it.

It strikes me that standing up at a mall kiosk is probably not the best place to perform delicate work on smartphones.

Anyway, he told me the custom-cut kits for the myTouch 4G come next week, and then I can get my replacement for free. I plan on doing that. I asked him multiple times about that 'for free' thing, and he assured me that they don't charge for custom cuts while you wait for the kit.

So, we'll see. As it dries, it looks like someone rubbed oil all over the glass. That will change as the liquid evaporates, but to say that the material is 'crystal clear' (as they do) is a bit disingenuous.



The ****ty T-Mobile skins don't cover the whole front of the phone, and they scratch easily. They are super over-priced. That said, at least they are smooth as glass. Ghost Armor - at least when custom-cut by some dingus - looks like a bad window tinting job when the screen isn't on.


Update:

I don't think the dude properly lubricated the squeegee, nor did he clean or watch out for debris. My screen has a bunch of bubbles, and some spots look like they were stabbed with a ballpoint pen. Lame.

Besides the amateur hour rush job, I dislike how rubberized the screen becomes. If ever there were multitouch games, I could easily see them being unplayable, due to finger friction. But I guess that's the nature of the beast.

Zagg protectors take a little bit of getting used to.

When you get the temp one from the kiosk they will put the fitted one on for free when it comes in.

I remember getting one on my Nokia N900. After it was put on, it was sticky feeling, had bubbles, and also had this "orange peel" type of look.

But after 48 hours the screen protector seemed to tighten up, the bubbles disappeared, and it had a nice feel. After about a week it lost that "thick" feeling.

Stick with it and give it some time, you might be surprised.

Or you might totally hate it and pull it off after 5 days like my wife did when she got one.
