I personally have the skinomi screen protector and I really like it. I;ve previously owned the zagg protector for the the iphone, just never really like the weird orange peel feel of it. This screen protector is the best of both worlds, cheap, quality construction, and when applied correctly it doesn't make the screen less smooth. Have an At&t store rep install it. That way you can blame it on them if anything goes wrong ;)

Just got my skinomi tonight and have it on. Gotta say it took me awhile to get it so the edges weren't so rough feeling. At first it felt like any seem and any corner could snag and pull it up. But being persistent with the hair dryer its getting better and doesn't have that feeling as bad. I do wish that it was cut better on the corners. I know its just me being picky but there is a few gaps where the phone shines through a bit but like I said its just me being over nit picky. I do like the way it looks over all though.

Just thought I'd give my 2 cents on it. Oh and I didn't use the screen protector cause I already have one on it.

I must say its been a week since I installed this skin and I am really like it. The skin does make it a tight fit on the desktop charger. Other than that it seems super durable. My only wonder when the time comes if I need to remove it how easy that will be. But I will cross thy when it comes to it.

Bottom line would recommend this to anyone who wants scratch protection with no bulk.

Got mine in the mail yesterday. Installed it but now it won't slide in to the case I have for it. Its a pretty tight fitting case. So I unfortunately had to remove all of it execpt the battery cover. I liked it except even using a blow dryer my corners were still sharp. I wish they made a carbon fiber slide on case. I love the look of the carbon fiber. Definitely watch the video a couple times before installing. The hair dryer is crucial to the install.

How much more protection would a case have over this skin? If a case is hugely more protective, I'd probably go with it. But I really want to keep the weight, thickness, and looks of the skin

I too had sharp corner but eventually it get smoothed out. I don't think it gives that much protection but good enough to protection from light scratches plus it looks cool, and gives the phone added grip.

i got the full armorsuite... the screen is nice but the edges of the carbon fiber just wont work right. The bottom piece doesnt even line up right and wont stretch making it not ift around the corners... i do not recommend the carbon fiber part of it... im hoping mine is a defect but im not sure....

It's not a slide on, but I just got this and it actually looks like real carbon fiber:

It's a snap together case, doesn't add too much bulk or weight
