I love how well it fits everything into place although I made some slight personal errors while applying mine.

However, I have just recently put the camera lens protector on and there is a noticeable difference in the quality of the photos taken. It has just been about 2 hours since I applied. Perhaps I have to wait >48 hours before judging the quality again?
Anyone having any issues with image quality after putting the camera protector on as well?
Wet skins always need days to properly cure, same for the wet camera lens protector.

It won't feel the same, as the skins are not matte.

Unsure, just get the screen protector - once cured, it's the smoothest screen protector I've tested (which is quite a few)

They don't look very "protective" to me though, I mean with a case it covers all the sides and around the edges etc, where as this seems to only cover the "majority" of the phone.

Doesn't look very "drop" proof either.

Call me particular but there are gaps between each part of the skin for starters, secondly the case does not grip "around" the phone, so when you drop it its going to hit the phone rather than the case

Finally as I said before, there doesnt seem to be much protection for dropping the phone, the phones gonna take the brunt of the drop.

Your completely ignoring the fact that skins keep the phone intact to prevent scratches, it keeps the phones body tight & secure.

Cases don't do this, a hard knock to the case can crack the phone, this won't happen with skins.

There is a reason screen protectors not only prevent scratches but severely decrease a chance of 'cracks & breakages', the skin keeps the screen tight & bonded - most cracks are developed by shock shooting through the screen to create the crack, a good screen protector bonds the screen tightly with the protector, stopping this from happening.

So your telling me that a "skin" is more protective than a case?
I'm saying this skin is for scratches and dirt etc? No way can this be better protection than a screen? How can a skin take the impact better than a case?

Also the HOX is an all in one phone, so it cannot keep it TIGHT as its as tight as it can be.

AND HOW CAN A SKIN BETTER PROTECT FROM CRACKS THAN A CASE?
+ This conversation isnt about a scren protector, so don't hit me with that !
