Has anyone tried this for the Captivate yet? I ordered the Zagg full body for 50% and immediately heard about these. Anyone have experience with these or already have it on? Thanks.

I was wondering if anyone has ordered the full protection from Phantom skinz for the captivate, and how long it took to arrive? I got an email telling me that it shipped 2 weeks ago, and it is still not here (they dont track).. so Im wondering if they use some ultra slow method of shipping or something.
View 7 Replies View RelatedIn another thread here, I made an offer to compare two brands of screen protectors: One from clearfreak.com, (abbreviated CF here) and the other from phantomskinz.com (abbreviated PS here). PhantomSkinz Guru took me up on the offer, and I was finally able to conduct the comparison today. I'm a mechanical engineering major in college, so I hope that in terms of technical and physical specs I will do this justice, but my grammar and punctuation might not be top-notch like pro reviewers. Also, I'm not being paid by either party for this (yet? j/k). I apologize in advance for any tendency to wander. So, here we go. (if you have a question/comment I will answer if I can or add it to OP) On the websites: CF offers either the screen protector alone, or a screen + back protector. Each is one piece. Price at the time of review was $6 for the front, $12 for front + back. Looks simple enough.
PS offers either the screen protector alone ($9.95), or a full body kit ($24.95), which not only includes the rear of the phone, but the sides as well. The full body kit comes as several pieces that must be applied individually. They were having a "winter special" at the time of this review, and so you get two of whatever you ordered... a great deal if you should mess up the application process, or are rough with your phone.................
Has anyone used their 'carbon fiber' decal? If so, does it look good? i think im gonna try it..but i want the real look of CF, which makes me want to order the sample of 3m and do it myself. Oh, the decisions.Phantom Skinz Chromatics for HTC Evo 4G- Colored Protection Film

We made sure our hands were clean, and kept our fingers wet while applying...Anyone offer any advice or tricks to get this perfect?
View 9 Replies View RelatedSince there appears to be no refund option once you attempt to install the Phantom Skinz, I'm going to install the second set just for the fun of it, I guess. I've used this brand in the past for all my Blackberries, and they were always great. But this time the fit was not perfect. And I'm a little ocd about that kind of thing.I wish they refunded, since they were the most expensive option. I'm going to try out the next group, I guess.One suggestion to those who go with Phantom Skinz. I would leave the back off. It doesn't look great, and soon you will be able to replace the back of the phone for about the same price as a new skin.
View 19 Replies View RelatedI plan on adding a lil personalization to my Evo. Personally I want some rhinestones. I contacted Phantom Skinz customer support and this seems to have no effect on the actual phone. May not be interesting to some but to some of the ladies who wanna add a little glam to a seemingly masculine phone this seems to be a viable option. Update: I have finished my case. I chose to add bling to a clear case instead of on the Phantom Skin. Here's a pic
View 20 Replies View RelatedI just applied the phantom skinz to my phone and stupidly I applied it to my phone and it was all good but left a smudge so while battery and phone on, I reapplied the screen protector without realizing the phone was still on... now it seems like there was too much water and the screen is distorted. Anyone know if I really messed up my phone or is it possible that its just water that needs to evaporate or do I need to go to radio shack and get a replace (if possible)?
View 42 Replies View RelatedNew here. I'm interested in the Phantom Skinz full body kit, which seems to come in both a smooth/glossy finish and a matte finish. Has anyone tried the matte one? Just curious what it looks/feels like. I like the feel of the Eris phone body, so I would want something that comes close to that. Phantom Skinz - Clear Protection Film for HTC Droid Eris.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I got my phantom skinz screen protector today. I went to put it on and it didn't fit. It was too small by about a 1mm on each side (length and width). I thought these things were supposed to be slug fits. Is this normal or should I contact them?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an extra Zagg and an extra PS that I'm thinking about cutting and sizing to fit the camera lens. I'm opposed to using any kind of cover, but these leaves the camera cover exposed. The only potential problem I see is my photo shots coming out blurry, and I'll most likely use the PS as it is a little bit more transparent than the Zagg.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI tried installing the Phantom Skinz I received yesterday and I couldn't for the life of me get the smaller pieces for the sides of the phone (only tried the sides on the top half of the phone) to stick. They would just slide right off and would not adhere to the phone. It was especially bad around the corners. I have installed many of these (multiple phones, macbook, ipods, etc...) and I have never had this much trouble installing one. Any suggestions from you guys who have installed one of these on the Droid? What should I mix the water with to get the best stick? I tried a drop of dish soap and that obviously didn't work. I did get the one on the screen fine (however there are some bubbles that still haven't went away after 24 hours !)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI put a Zagg Invisible shield on but did not like the super glossy orange peel look so I removed it. I checked out the steinheils website and some youtube vids and they look really nice. Is the only difference between the steinheil crystal and the anti-fingerprint the finish? I'm not too sure I'd like the matte finish as I would think it would slightly dull the brightness of the display. I've also seen the Phantom skinz and the orange peel effect seems to be a bit better than on the Zagg. Anyone with experience using both Zagg and Phantom SKinz products how do they compare? Does either of the two have a definitive advantage over the other in terms of appearance and feel of the coating while sliding your finger over it.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have for sale:One stock Eris battery, never used, unopened in plastic baggie. $20 shipped.One complete Phantom Skinz full body film for the Eris.This is $17 plus shipping for two now that it's on sale. I'll sell it for $10, shipped.I will say that I really liked the Phantom Skinz on my Eris. The only thing that I didn't like was it eliminated the "soft touch" feel on the back. Other than that, no bubbling, very smooth, did not interfere with the screen and great self-healing.
View 17 Replies View RelatedI have seen threads on the best screen protector, and I have some of my own conclusions. I have had every single one I am listing, I have used them each for about 1 month to 2 months, so I know what I am talking about. Here they are. With each one, at the end I will include scores ranging from 0-5. And the overall, average of each one. Grip- How well each one is set down on something and able to remain put during a drive or something, and how it feels in the hands.
Screen Feel- How close and nice it feels to the screen. Protection/Scratch Test- How it preforms to the normal keys in the pocket and nails etc, hitting the screen and phone. Price- Worth the price paid? How well of a deal it is. Installation- How easy it was. Overall- The average of the 5. Background= All were installed using Zagg Spray. I used each for about 1-2 Months Each. I only bought the Full Body Protection. The Zagg Cost me 19.99 for one. The Phantomz Skinz cost me 25 for Two. And Stealth Guard cost me 9.99 for TWO. Took my time with installations and all. Thanks and have a good time reading this.......................

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was installing some apps from the market last night and all was going well until one application got stuck. The Market shows it as installing but nothing is happening. The Market still seems to function to load other apps but I have tried pulling the battery, cleaning the cache etc and no matter what I do when I go back to the downloads page the install on this app is still in progress. The Captivate is not rooted and I am not really keen on a hard reset as I have lots of apps and data. Any ideas from you pros out there?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've searched for other threads but although somewhat similar they are not experiencing the same problems. Ok according to att's time logs of the phantom data usage times, it is exactly the moment i leave my wifi home signal and the phone switches to 3g. At that time a download ranging from 44mb to as big as 120 mb is added to my data plan. But i'm not using the phone. I have not downloaded any new apps, using my phone, or didn't anything different out of the ordinary. I have done one thing recently, that are not my usual. I rooted my phone with one click lag fix, the same day all the data was being done was being phantomly downloaded i updated one click lag fix or 3g. Now ever since then my phone uses data when i leave my wifi home service.I'M ALREADY OVER 247MB OVER 2GB'S
View 6 Replies View RelatedIs there an app that will randomly change your home screen and wallpaper to a different one at some pre-determined interval, say every time the phone restarts? There are so many cool looking home screens and wallpapers that I can't make up my mind. It would be nice to select a bunch and then have them randomly selected every restart or specified interval, kind of like shuffle on a CD player.

View 25 Replies View RelatedI released my first Android application yesterday: G-Tuner. It's a chromatic tuner that listens through the microphone and works out what note you're playing. There are some screenshots here: G-Tuner for Android When I started working on it there were no other chromatic tuners available (in the UK anyway). A few other people have beaten me to it, but I hope there's room for a few of them. Within an hour of publishing my application I had my first rating: 1 star. Things have picked up a little since then, but I'm wondering what caused the initial bad reviews. Maybe they had a different model phone, and the application just doesn't work. I've only been able to test it on my own G1. Although a friend of a friend has tried it out on a Hero, and it seems to work. If this type of application is of interest to you, and you have some feedback I'd be most grateful. Does it work for you? Does it look bad? Is it obvious how it works? Any feedback or suggestions would be most welcome.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI purchased a Galaxy S through Bell in Canada a few days ago and it's been great, except for an issue that started just this morning. The phone keeps bringing up the context menu at random when I have not hit the key to do so. Sometimes I can use it for ten minutes without an issue, other times it will flip on/off repeatedly ever few seconds for a 15 second period or so. This is definitely not an issue of me pressing the key by mistake; I can lay the phone on the table and it will trigger the key on/off on its own.
I've tried:
- Cleaning the screen several times
- Rebooting
- Deleting pretty much every app I downloaded
- Total factory reset (from the boot menu)
After the factory reset the problem still exists, which leads me to believe it may be a hardware issue. I haven't seen any other posts regarding this issue, has anyone seen something like this before?
I have 5 email accounts coming to my phone. Sometimes, after receiving an email from one account I'll get a notification of new mail from that same account a few minutes later, but I won't actually have any new mail. It's getting kind of annoying. Is there any fix for that?

Deal breaker for me. I'll be keeping my DINC for a little while longer.
I am kind of new with Android , just purchase the samsung galexy and i really love it.
Just one thing that bother me , How can i have more then 3 screen in my home ?
I tried "open home" and didnt like it the lite version is stupid and the full coast money (well if i wanted money application i buy iphone ).
Is there any other application / way to enable more than 3 screens ? i will kill someone to have 4 .
I was under the impression that 2.1 added more home screens (up to 5).Is that part of a rooted update, or is it only available in other apps? Open home keeps crashing, and I'd like to go with the main home screen app.
