XO Skin is now dry, perfect fit.
- Thread starter wheezy
- Start date
I currently have the Zagg on there and was a little disappointed that it did not fully cover the phone. It does not cover the whole top right corner of the phone like the XO seems to do. I really want a protector that will cover the whole screen with the exception of the sensors, camera, speaker, and comes right to the edge.
I was going to order the XO till someone mentioned the Skinomi so now I don't know what to get. XO or Skinomi?

Go with XO dude. Skinomi has orange peel along with most other "military grade" protectors. xoskins are easily the best.
Just ordered it! Have the Verizon one on now and tired of not having whole screen covered. Anybody with one of these use Swype? I use it now and hated using Swype back on my DX with a Zagg.
Ugh! I got through 5 pages, and everyone seemed to be on the XO bandwagon, so I ordered. Starting around page 6, everyone jumped to the Skinomi bandwagon :-\
The sprintxo coupon still works, so I got it for roughly 12 with shipping. Thanks for all the opinions and comments here. I'll let you know how the XO turns out.

I installed my xo skin last Friday night and it looks wonderful. Feels very slick. I was always afraid to try a wet application protector, but I could not be happier with the xo.

Whoever is on that "bandwagon" must like orange peel. XO is the only wet one I have seen to look this good
So far, the XO skin is "OK". The fit is absolutely perfect (bought the case cut). The application was actually amazingly easy. I had no problems putting it on, despite this being my first wet application. Only if I hold it exactly right in fluorescent lighting and look really closely can I see any kind of orange peel. The reason I'm only 1/2 enthused about it is due to the feel. It has, to me, what feels like a softness about it. Gummy. If it didn't have that, then it wouldn't be able to repair itself after a scratch or whatever, so I get that.
I'm hoping it will harden a little bit more, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm one of those OCD people who really like the hard glass feel, and I don't think this will get close enough for me to "stick with it" (sorry for the pun).

Other than living in the same area? LOL. No problem. I'm pretty sure it's about as good as it will get, which is pretty much the same as it was within a few days of application. I'll give it a few more days/weeks or more to see if it gets better or I get used to it. At this point, it isn't limiting and it doesn't seem to decrease sensitivity too much. It's just not as hard as I was hoping (that's what she said).
Bought this skin last week and wow! All of the air bubbles were gone after three days! Fit and feel are absolutely excellent! I was kind of worried it might be too grippy since all I use is Swype, but it is smooth and fingers slide easily. Best screen protector I've ever purchased. First wet application as well and it was a breeze. XO Skin ftw!
peeled off my xo skin. it negatively affected the touch sensitivity, felt very rubbery, and left the screen grainy. no bubbles, installed correctly.
i've since put on the stienhiel oleophobic. much better. has none of those shortfalls.

You should have let it dry. the haze or graininess as you called it all goes away. The rubbery feeling does as well after a few days. Mine is crystal clear, smooth, and has way less smudges than bare glass.
I have to say that I am less than impressed with the XO Skin. I have some slight complaints with sensitivity after 5 days it is still rubbery feeling, not terrible but noticeable. I can live with that, what I can't live with is the skin is not self healing. Pulled phone out of my pocket and noticed 3 faint scrathes in the skin that won't come out even after buffing with a microfiber cloth sprayed with the application solution. I am leaning towards pulling the skin off and going back to naked glass at this point. How is the Steinheil Olephobic in comparison for feeling and self healing capabilities?
Warm it up with a blow drier and rub them out. Sometimes deeper ones take a little longer. If its super deep and wont heal, request a replacement, they have lifetime warranty.
Has anyone had the chance to compare the XOskin with the Skinomi side by side? My main concerns are the surface feel of the protectors after a few days: tacky or smooth, the look of the protectors
range peel or clear, and the density of the protectors: glassy vs. gummy?
High resolution pictures would be appreciated, thanks!

Same thing I did, and I had the XO on for more than 2 weeks and it didn't lose the rubbery feel. Much happier with the steinhiel.
Hey guys, Im looking at the XO skin.
this may be a stupid question but
is there any issues with the wet application and getting water in the front speaker hole? Or is the "wet" just a light mist you spray o and this isn't really an issue if you don't squeegee the remaining water into that hole?
