Truth.


Let's take a moment and take stock of what we have here people:

We have a member of our COMMUNITY, who went out on a limb and advocated to his employer to create a unique product for our previoulsy-described "niche" phone and created arguably a badass item. Does it have some flaws? Sure. What product designed in California and built on spec in Asia doesn't have issues on its first run out of the gate? Think of it like this; the OP got his employer who makes arguably 90% of its revenue from iOS products to take a gamble on the uber-nerdiest of Android devices?!? In my world that takes stones. I say this as an entrepreneur as well as someone who has had spec-designed products brought in from Asia: its not as easy as it may seem on the surface.

How many of us have bitched out loud or under our breath about the abundance of accessories for those damned iZombie devices? Most of us I'm sure. Now we are being harsh on one of our own for trying to bring us up to date? FAIL. To quote one of the more popular memes of the day: "This is why we can't have nice things..." How many other potential innovators are looking at this thread saying: screw that flak, iPhone is easier...


Nexus-land is the realm of the early adopter. Shit, plenty of us were crack flashing incomplete JB ROMs based on Nandroids from Google I/O knowing full well the potential risks involved. Constructive criticism is one thing, being a whiner is another. Hell, the topic started as a poll for God's sake...

Couldn't have said it better myself

It's been over 24 hours since I've installed my screen protector and I'm not noticing any sensitivity issues. Not sure what I did different from everyone else having problems but I love this thing. Sure I see the dots in direct sunlight but it's not really a distraction. It went on real easy, pressed down on the edges nice and hard and all is well. Feels great, looks great and loving that my finger is touching glass again instead of that my old XO protector.

I will also thank pmoradi for taking the initiative in trying to convince his company to create and sell a screen protector everyone else wasn't willing to do. And considering this is the very first of its kind for this phone, I think they did a fantastic job. There's always going to be an issue or two on a first run but that's what everyone should expect.

Update from the guy who sat on his phone: things are still going well 24 hours later. Seriously, I think most (if not all) of the sensitivity issues people are reporting can easily be resolved by applying additional pressure for ~15 minutes or so to make sure the adhesive makes a strong bond. Now that I've got it sorted I absolutely love this screen protector.

Thanks again OP!

The screen protector is working great for me as well. Big thanks to the OP for creating this for us. I don't use my GNex as my primary phone anymore and I would love to have the same thing on my RAZR Maxx.

pmoradi2002 sent you a DM as well as filled out a contact request on XGear website, only one of two screen protectors was in the box.

So far the feel alone makes me love this screen protector, using swype and if the screen is less sensitive it's just barely and I will GLADLY learn to use a little extra pressure if needbe for the clarity and feel of this protector. I use PGMNexus to turn on/off my screen and I need to swipe across the nav bar to turn it off and I haven't had any issues.

As far as install make sure to look on the back of the protector afte peeling off the protective film, I didn't notice a very small speck of dust & one very small strand of lint or something but its only noticeable with a dark background. Im not sure I will remove the protector to get these out though right now, just use it the way it is unless it REALLY bothers me someday.

THANK YOU AGAIN for making these for the Galaxy Nexus, would LOVE to buy one for my Nexus 7 as well.

Trying to submit a request for an exchange, but the website gives me the above error... My screen protector had scratches near the middle on the inside. I notice it after applying it the initial time. I then tried to apply again and the edges won't stay down along the curve. Basically the screen protector won't conform to the curve screen anymore. Would you be able to help me submit the request for the exchange? Seems like the website doesn't like me. Thanks!

Just tested and went through, from where were you sending the email from?

This may be worth looking at. Apparently there's a bug causing a decrease in screen sensitivity, most notably after using the recents button. I'm just noticing it on JB. Basically, switch to another task using the recents button and until you turn the screen off the screen responsiveness goes into the toilet.

Given many of us are on JB by this point, it'd be a shame to attribute this behavior to the screen protector when it's really the phone, and something that will be fixed.

And I'm noticing that turning the screen off really only fixes it for several minutes, with a reboot being the only way to fix it, which seems up be fine until I use the task switcher again.

I applied mine yesterday and I have to say - it's nice but does have its flaws. Install was quick, easy and perfect. Does not work well with extended battery and Incipio Silicrylic case but, it still fits and to be expected with all the added thickness. Not a problem, just a note.

As far as the issue, I am having some issues with touch sensitivity on the navbar and edges of phone. I've had it on for a little over 24 hours. Sometimes I use my thumb instead of pointer finger (as I used to) and it works a bit better. I love the feel of this protector - I just wish I didn't have to push on my screen a few times to get it to respond. Hopefully over the next few days, it settles a bit and responds better to touch. I really don't want to have to take it off - it feels so lovely lol!

Well I just tested this and confirmed that I have that issue, then again I never use my recent button so I had no idea. This is what I meant when I said the ROM could be the issue, people laughed now at least I have proof.
