Default Skinomi TechSkin Anyone?

Hi!
I'm looking for a protective skin for my Xperia. I bought SGP Shield but i don't like the body protection because there are a lot of spaces between the panels, and the phone may scratch easily in some places (specialy the chromed parts).
Did anyone installed the Skinomi TechSkin? In their pic it seems that it will cover better the phone without any space left uncovered.

Skinomi: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/ima...185&s=wireless

SGP: http://mojel98.cafe24.com/eb-allcraf...2_contents.gif

The screen protector from SGP is impressive. I like it.


Thanks in advance!

I don't have it, but please post if you get it. I would like something that covers just the chrome, as that seems to be the most delicate part of the phone, and covering it won't affect the aluminum feel of the phone.

Let us know how the TechSkin fares!

If it's the same one that I have, then it is the best screen protector out there. Reason I'm not sure if it's the same as mine is because it was advertized differently when i got it. On ebay it was called the clear protector for xperia without the brand name you mentioned. The only similarity between the two is the fact that the skin cuts are exactly the same. because my phone is covered in all the areas and the one you posted matches that. if they mention that the protector material is the same stuff they use to line helicopter propellers, then it's the same stuff and i would highly recommend them.

Thank you! I have ordered this product. I'll post when it arrives over 3-4 weeks, and tell you what I think about it.

Cheers!

Yup, same one: Skinomi

I'm interested in the full skinned body to protect my X1, but I'm not too sure because I'm afraid of how it will end up looking. I saw a Fuze with it and if you looked closely, you could see clearly the skin lines on the sides. Is there any possibility that you could post some close up pics as to know how it looks like?

Thanks in advance!

Oh! And hows is the feel to it with the skin? Is it too glossy that the original fuze?

Thanks!!

Sorry I'm replying so late.

Well, I removed the skin from my X1 (I'm planning on buying the black housing since I have silver), so all that's on it is the screen and the battery cover. I can say confidently that it feels great. If your hands are moist, you can slide your fingers across it. Same goes for if your hands are dry. It doesn't feel cheap. And it won't stick to the sides in your pocket, you can pull it out smoothly with no trouble. If I ever get around to posting a pic, I'll do so. Cosmetically, you can't really tell it's there from a glance. Up close you can see it, but it's not all too different from an X1 without it.

I have ordered it some 3 weeks ago. It should arrive any day now. I've also ordered the leather pouch from noreve. I hope that I'll install the Skinomi only in extreme cases :P.

DONATE TO ME
Default Skinomi installed and not worth of it

Its true that its improve the protection but lacks of stay on phone, its separates more day after day from the surface of the x1 if you puts the x1 inside a cover or in a pouch without mention the risk that you have to "WET" the skinomi to apply in on the phone! i had to get a hairdrier with me LOL. I not recommend this.

Thanks. I've bought my Skinomi TechSkin, and also a Noreve leather pouch. I don't need the Skinomi TechSkin anymore, so I can't communicate you the results.

Are these scratch-proof made of military helicopter blade material like the protech & Zagg shields?
