Skinomi TechSkin (screen protector) owners, - a question for you

So I'm interested in this screen protector, as it offers edge to edge protection along with some other features I like:
amazon.com/Skinomi-TechSkin-Protector-Lifetime-Warranty/dp/B009W6C3YO/ref=cm_cmu_pg__header - sorry cant link yet due to post requirements.
However, as I'm in the UK its not available to me. I've searched everywhere for it, they just dont sell it here at-all.
In desperation I turned to a friend who lives in the US, and asked him if he could order it to him first, then ship it to me.
So, my question to you Skinomi owners:
What are the dimensions of the box the screen protector comes in? I know the shipping weight (3.8 oz), but the dimensions are no-where to be found on the web. I've looked on the USPS website for shipping rates to the UK, and if it can fit in a "large" envelope and weighs 3.8 oz, then I'm only paying $4 for shipping, which is good. But if it cant, I'm looking at $70+ just for shipping :S
Description of the large envelope:
Other than rolls: Max. length 24", max length, height and depth (thickness) combined 36"
Rolls: Max. length 36". Max length and twice the diameter combined 42"
Help please?
Edit, for mods;
The question when posting this thread was "Is this a question?"
Though this is a question, its not directly linked to a Q&A of a nexus 4, thus not wanting to be posting a accessories question in the nexus Q&A, I posted here. Sorry if I'm wrong, feel free to move the thread as you wish mods. :good:

I've still got my box, even though I don't use the Skinomi anymore (ended up with a Spigen). Here you go.
4 3/8" x 7 1/8" x 1"
Approximately.

Why you don't order this from eBay or directly from Skinomi website??

I just got it from eBay, thanks for the idea - its still shipping from the US but I only paid $9 for postage with an estimate of 12 days :good:

I bought a tech skin for my phone and tablet from amazon.com. you can have an account with a UK address. It was cheaper from skinomi on Amazon than through there own site. Also only took around 4 days to arrive. I think in total it was $20 or so delivered to the UK.

I have one on the way. I'm excited to get it and be able to protect my screen. I hope it is as good as they say.

I got mine 5 days ago from CA (I'm in the UK), the protector does feel good (not too rubbery), though it doesn't have a high quality finish as MediaDevil has, plus it does peal with my BALLISTIC case, I did get around this with six 1mm sellotape rectangles, their barley visible, and they keep the protector from pealing on the edges. Overall an alright product, I definitely overpaid, but with lifetime warranty, I might make a clam soon.

I used Skinomi on my HTC Sensation before I discovered Best Skins Ever, BSE are much better - they're much less resistive to touch (feel almost like glass) and they do a case optimised version which leaves a small gap around the edges so cases/bumpers won't lift the protector, or a full version which fits to the edges.
I do like the packaging of Skinomi and the premium cloth and squeegee it comes with though.

Mines come tomorrow and I'll leave a comment on its quality, etc.
I hope my seidio case comes too.

Pros: Self-healing that actually works..
Cons: Everything else.
Think I might just go with "Just like glass"

Mine came in today but I'm waiting to install it till tomorrow night. Gotta work tomorrow

So I installed it and it's okay. I'm keeping it because I paid fifteen bucks for it and I don't want to run rawdog without one. I have never liked screen protectors. My gnex had one on it when I bought it and I couldn't stand it. I ended up removing it. It was a zagg I think.
I think I'll buy one of the tempered ones soon.
Just not all that impressed.

You should check out "Just like glass" I'm considering ordering from them. They look amazing.
Well after my Skinomi needs replacing that is... Seems like never, it just keeps healing itself. Heh

They sent me an extra for doing a review on Amazon. Pretty good of them.

Keep your fingers wet. Do it in a hot steamy bathroom to minimize dust.
Follow the included instructions.

I've got one of these. Imo, they are easier to apply than other dry application screen protectors I've purchased in the past. And come with a neat microfiber cloth. I also enjoy the textured protector for the back of the device. It came with pieces to cover the sides, top, and bottom too but those weren't so simple to make use of unfortunately.

Just get a BSE, they're cheaper, better and deliver to the UK. Trust me, I've tried pretty much every wet apply screen protector there is over the past couple of years

This screen protector is a total pos! It is constantly peeling off. & stretching
Back side does not stay sticky
Also every where my case is touching it. It had faded to a matte finish.
I would try to get some pics later today.
I think I will stick with Zagg.

Zagg Glass & Mirror Galaxy Note 4 (BUYER BEWARE)

These have been recalled by Zagg according to a Facebook exchange I had w/ Zagg and a rep Zagg Chick. They are on display everywhere including Best Buy and still available to order. The curve on the Note 4 glass causes the edges to remain lifted from the glass creating a weird halo tyoe of effect all the way around the edge. Some exchanges back & forth from custoners had Zagg requesting information (like a credit card, say what?) for an exchange when the engineering is corrected.

Don't want to load xda w/ bunch of useless photos but you can go to Zagg on Facebook and read more angry posts.

So if we bought it (like I did), we can just exchange them for the non-halo ones later when they're released?

I got one too. Interesting. I do not do facebook, so hopefully this thread stays updated with the latest information.

Got one on the day of phone release at Best Buy and had the guy install it - realized it was messed up, tried to put on a new one from a new package (for free) and it had that same halo effect because of the curved glass, so he just returned the glass one for me and I just got one of the normal Zagg kind and installed that for me and I was all set lol.

If you guys had gone with iSmooth you would have perfection with the absolute best customer service I have ever seen in a company
btw, not an employee nor affiliated in anyway...just absolutely love their products after trying 20 or so different screen protectors and hope I can help others save money/time/frustration that I went through

Bought mine at sprint the day it released as well. The halo dowant really bug me. When im using the phone i dont really notice and i have the samsung case so its closed when im not using the phone. But i do still have the zagg boxes and i registered the zagg glass already. When thru release the updated version ill awitch it out.

I bought this PThink - was like $9 - anyone ever used it?
Haven't had a chance to put it on yet
I did look at the glass and it does not appear to be curved. Although I can't tell for sure until I put it on.

Yeah, I was all set to take it back today along with a usb wifi adapter I decided not to use. Halo thing bugs me some, not to mention it looks like I'm eating KFC and texting on my phone from all the smudges on the screen. Even at $40, I decided to keep it to protect my phone.

I'm being told they will be making an option on their website for an exchange when they fix the issue. As of today, Best Buy still has them forsale.

Thanks for taking the time to share this. I got mine today, and the sprint dude said if you apply heat to it, then will go down. I'll borrow the neighbors hair dryer to see if this works.....I'm kinda doubting it...but if it does, I'll share. Otherwise, I'll be waiting too....but from someone who had 4 Notes 3's....due to breaking the screen....when he sold it to me, it was like I could hear angel music and bright lights were shining. LoL. If it really works, I'll be happy.

Please share your results. In my experience, tempered glass doesn't bend like that but my experience doesn't consist on phone screen covers.... ☺
My thing is you shouldn't have to apply heat to a $50 screen cover. The other material you can apply heat (sudden temperature rise) and have flexibility, this I've done before.

Same thing here. Zagg edges not down at edges. Sprint basically told me nothing they can do. Unbelievable. I guess ill register my zagg and hope for a replacement when one is available. 40 bucks you would think it would fit properly. Oh well. Ive contacted everyone i can.
Sprint said I was the first person to complain about it. I call b.s.
AS FOR ME.....GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH

Uhm..yeah...no go with the heat. The Sprint salesman told me it did work. I find his sales tactics to be subpar.

Well I've gone though two Zagg glass shields on my Note 4, plus I've also gone through an HDX. Both of the glass shields didn't go down at the bottom. The problem with them not laying down on the edges was worse on the iPhone 6 and 6 plus. The HDX went down just fine but I really wanted a glass shield.
As for Zagg having recalled them... I'm not to sure if they have otherwise we wouldn't carry them at Best Buy. I have, however, noticed that you can purchase the shields on Zagg's website but they are backordered.
Zagg released a second batch of the iPhone shields that worked perfectly fine so I'm sure that they will for the Note 4 as well.
Ps... These devices are the only ones with these issues. I've probably put down hundreds of shields and never had issues.

What do you recommend for Tempered Glass.....

Hey guys whats going on. Well Im walking away from the Otterbox Series of cases for my S5. Went with another brand for a case and Now I am looking for some tempered glass to protect the screen. I have done some reading and looking around but there are soo many companies making glass, and I have yet to own one. So I am seeing what others are using and what you guys here recommend.
What do you guys like and why?
I have found Anker to look good and I hear alot about Spigen, Zagg and I loome. But what do you guys recommend????
All thoughts and comments will be looked over and thought about. I just dont wanna go out and buy twice if you guys know what I mean. thank you

Yeah I ordered the tough armor case for 9 bucks. couldnt beat that. Just dont know which Tempered glass to get.....
What makes the Zagg so expensive compared to Zerolemon and Anker which are 9 dollars instead of zaggs 35 dollars???

It's thicker and therefore gives more chance of surviving if you would drop your phone face down.
Ps. My phone equiped with above combo, survived couple of accidental drops on hard surfaces and it's still alive in perfect form.

I ordered it on Amazon a few days ago in US and it said estimated delivery July 20 - August 10. It supposedly shipped, but I don't have a tracking number.
Also orzly's site offers a global shipping option, but it's more than I'd like to spend.

Yes was expensive direct from orzly or 1+ , think I got lucky getting a twin pack for £9:99 free next day delivery was originally priced £21

Same here! They fit great.

Personally I was not happy with the ones from OnePlus. They cut off a pixel or two of columns off either side if you are looking at it straight on. I had to hold it at an angle to see the scrollbar in the app drawer.
I also think it adds too much height offset to the home button/fingerprint scanner but maybe that will be the same with any glass one.

Do you think it would fit the otterbox case?

From what I've seen, anything but the one made by 1+. that one cuts off a few pixel at both sides of the screen. I ordered the one from Orzly since I have been reading good things about it but it still hasn't arrived.

Whitestone some glass said they would make one for the OnePlus 5 if demand was high enough

Yes, I have the OnePlus flip case and had the same question. There's a 1mm gap ?

I am losing the original glass protector? What should I do?

Hello, my original screen protector is coming off
What do you suggest should I do? Samsung does not change it, does it?
I read the glass screen protectors on the market are not so goods, too may problems with fingerprints and so on..

Well just buy a new one from amazon... I. Just order a 2 pack spigen pack 7.99 on amazon... This one has light scratches and the spigen on my note 9 is brilliant...
On the finger print side can't say as haven't put it but will tomorrow. People on the reviews say it works fine so...

Samsung does not replace it but they offer a similar version to the OEM that came on the phone. I remember seeing a lot of talk about them being $29.xx for a three pack. That seemed kind of high to me when for not much more you could do the Dome Glass. There have been mixed reviews of the Dome Glass. The most common complaint seems to be that it is difficult to install. It looks simple and straight forward, watching the videos on YouTube, but in the real world things are never perfect. There is one video on YouTube, 14 screen protectors for the S10+, or something like that and the vlogger puts on, tests and talks about all 14 different screen protectors. If you don't want to watch the whole video, it kind of long, he lists his recommendations in order from the best to the worst in the video notes. Over at Android Central I posted a question about this, https://forums.androidcentral.com/s...dome-glass-stock-something-else-new-post.html, and was surprised how many people are going without anything. I keep watching the front camera area for scratches and have just about convinced myself to go naked too. Mine isn't lifting up but it is pretty scratched up with a few deep enough to feel.

Just use it without the film. The sensivity in fingerprint sensor is amazing!

I am using this one from amazon and found it really good.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07RW748Q4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I saw that some protector are above the camera, others not. I read that it is not good for the lens to have a film over.. Am I right?

Screen protectors don't provide drop protection for phones with edge to edge displays and minimal bezels because the vast majority of the time a phone gets dropped on one of its sides rather than the area the screen protector is covering.
But people who walk around with their phone in their pocket or in a bag will scratch up their displays if they don't use a screen protector. The display doesn't ever have to come into contact with anything as obvious as coins or keys to get scratched--particles of sandlike grit that turn up inside a pocket will scratch a smartphone screen.
Whether or not you need a screen protector pretty much depends on how you carry your phone but people who think they are purchasing drop protection often end up disappointed.

Well I thought that was bad as soon I put it but after a few hrs the marks do go away and its nice... Well the protection vs the original is better to be fair

Also worth mentioning that the blue light filter is on the the pics and is almost all the way up... So maybe why looks orange.
