It's not awkward at all. I used to sell them and they work really well.

The Jot. I have been using one for a few months now and haven't had a problem. I mostly use it on my tablets but I'm sure they will work fine.

i waas searching for a good stylus today with a fine tip (not big round black tipped ones) and i came across jot. I read some reviews and watched videos and it looked really cool but there is a downside unfortunately. It does not work with certain screen protectors as indicated on website including zagg, ghost armor and skinomi. I installed skinomi on my nexus and appearently i am not able to use jot any ideas for a good stylus? i have seen wacom bamboo is good but it does not have fine tip unfortunately

Xtreme guard screen protector

Hi
Has any one use this screen protector?
I was about to buy it buy i noticed it did not have a front sensor opening, it only has one for camera.
Problem is i bought one before that covered the sensor and once a call came in the screen would not turn back on when i finished the call.
So please if any one has some experience with this one please share with me your experience. Thanks
Here is a video review by ctscloud, thank him. link below.

If i remember correctly my last phone had one of those on it for a while, and it had that awful screen door effect.It wasn't really noticeable on color but when you had a white background it could really drive you nuts. I ended up peeling it off in the end because it got on my nerves so bad when looking at web pages.Spend the extra cash and get a quality one. (XOskins, Skinomi, BSE, etc)

What is a "screen door" effect?
I ordered an XtremeGuard but haven't received it yet.

But basically you can see like little squares in the phone screen like a screen door.
You see the fine line separating the pixels.

I just received it. I didn't install it yet, but I can confirm it has all the cuts needed: front camera, sensors, etc.

Thanks for the pik bro. Let me know how it turns out. If u get screen effect.

I bought a series of them, but they are the most disappointing screen protectors ever. I'm quite experienced in applying screen protectors and didn't have any trouble applying these protectors, but every single time the top left corner detached from the screen after ~2 weeks. Furthermore: the feel is extremely "plasticcy", and after removing the protectors I noticed that the screen gets a lot less responsive to touch when they're on.
My advice: stay away from the Xtreme guard protectors!

I just installed it last night. I don't like it. Finger don't slide smoothly, kind of sticking to the screen.
Fit is pretty good, and its matte finish. But I can't use it, feels no good.

i have no problems with mine. All of the cuts are perfect and it looks clean imo. I got the full coverage for 3 bucks during a special 70% off sale.
though they are cheap you don't get much but just the screens in the mail. (You get what you paid for)
what i did to install it was i had left over Zagg solution from a previous phone and applied it to the screen.
then i used a hair blow dryer while using a squeegee to remove all the water from under the screen.

I installed it last night. Just after installed, it got an incredible orange peel effect, however in the instructions it says to wait at least 8hs dry before turning the phone on. So I led it off all the night and this morning most of that effect disappeared. It still has some bubbles (not with air, I think is water, is what caused the orange peel effect before, just that now they are far from each other). So, I will wait until tomorrow to see if this disappear before writing a verdict. If these bubbles do not disappear, I'm afraid I'll have to remove it.
The responsiveness of the screen didn't change.
The plasticity fell I guess will also disappear when the remaining bubbles disappear.
I'll keep you posted.

I've used these xtremeguards on my previous phones because they were cheap but I was never satisfied with them...meh

Bought the body kit that gives sp for the front and back and after a week I decided to go back to skinomi.

Looks like everyone has had trouble with them. Ill wait for his verdict and make my decision... Any ways thanks every one.

Can anyone give me a website to buy a good one? I tried ebay but i can not find the good brands everyone been telling me to get. I wanna check then out.

I've had mine on my n4 for about a week now. You can't even tell that there's a screen protector on it just by looking. It basically looks perfect. However I will say that it definitely feels weird.

Wait, I didn't know that XtremeGuard was a wet application screen protector. Is this true?

Yes, it is a wet application.

Just to keep you posted. After 24hs of having applied the protectors, the back one is almost perfect, with only 2 or 3 bubbles here and there, but they aren't too noticeable. The front protector have some more bubbles but definitely less than this morning.
The feeling is really plastic.
Overall, I think this will protect the screen, but it isn't good looking. I think I will keep it until I get the flip leather case that I ordered, then I will remove the front one (the one at the back doesn't bother me at all, so I'll keep that).
Will see, maybe for the time when I receive the case I already get used to it. :/

Make your S3 a S4- FULL GUIDE

Sup guys check out this video of my s3. Got multiple s4 apks, wallpapers, themed keyboard, ringtones and all on 4.2.1 sammy rom. Almost looks like the real thing.

Yeah you should also saw off the bezel, move the flash and cram another sensor above the light sensor, then you're set

Started to saw off the bezel but i think i took too much off, Can you suggest a good strong glue to stick some bezel back on please......
The flash Was easy to move but the hole it has left is annoying, will cover it with some paper i think.
Cant figure how to make the camera same pixel as the S4.
I alsl made the screen bigger by wearing some magnifying glasses which looks amazing.

Lol whats next? Spray the whole cover frost white or black mist?. I would rather wait for the s4 then to modify the hardware of the s3. Cause it will and as always be called the galaxy s3

Cases that don't ruin the curved edge feel?

Hello,
As the title describes, I am looking for a case for my Nexus 4 that doesn't get in the way of the curved side edges as I use Pie a lot and love the feel of that curved edge. Has anyone found such a case and would like to share?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

You mean one that doesn't cover the sides right by the screen? If yes, mine doesn't, only the left one - but even the right side it's really minimal:
The case has a flip, idk if that's your taste - but has a high quality build, I bought from eBay:

Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4

That's almost exactly what I was looking for but I prefer the right edge to be the more exposed one. I'll probably end up getting that one if I don't find one I like better. Thanks for your photo, I wish more sellers on eBay provided photos like that.

Back letters falling off

I'm just curious, has anyone ever gotten their Nexus letters at the back removed, as in the shiny black vinyl that covers them? The letters N, E and X were completely peeled off in my case in a matter of weeks when I was holding it, along with the adhesive.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Nope, but I've had a case on it since day 1...:thumbup:

Odd. Hasn't happened to me. (Happened to every BlackBerry Curve 8520 I had, though. Damn, that phone sucked.)
Wonder if it's affected by how you hold it. Definitely return it anyway.

Wait, I didn't even know that could happen, I though they were like part of the plastic.
You got a picture of it?

Do you have a wireless charger?
I have one and I have noticed that after charging it is kind of warm on the back and I have to wipe some kind of stain around some off the letters. Now that you mention your letters falling off it gets me
thinking that the glue could be melting away or something.
My N7 is only 7 weeks old and I'm using a Fatboy pillow for charging.

I had this same problem just a few days ago I noticed like a sticky residue seeping from the letters on the back and part of the letter lifting. I just removed all the sticker and cleaned away the sticky residue 'see attached pic' I actually prefer it without glued on sticky letters. Looks good I think.

Wireless charging here and my letters are falling off now also.

I use the wireless charging feature as well - no issues, and it spends all night - every night - on the charger.

I didn't know that there was plastic in the letters to make it shiny. When mine finally fall out on their own, I think I'll get some model paint and paint the letters in white. Or maybe bright red. Just to be different.

Really? They fall? lol, I though they were pretty much part of the case :b

Wow I didn't even know this was possible. Makes me not want to use wireless charging if it's going to destroy the design of my device.

It really looks good, haha It's not that I want mine to fall but, if it happens, I won't be mad at all

Been using wireless charging from the day I got it and the letters are still firmly on there. Touchscreen though, now thats another issue.

Yup, it looks like this. I was thinking about removing the rest so it looks uniform again the hollow letters do look nice, though. I don't own a wireless charger so I don't think that's the issue.

Now that you mention it and I saw the picture, you're right, the hollow letters doesn't look bad.

No wireless charging here either it's just glued on stickers that are losing stick over time as they heat and cool.
I'ts just like black tape.
Sure it looked cool glossy but doesnt bother me, I just picked out my letters with my nail and cleaned it up.
I like the 'indented' look nexus on the back.

What assembly dates do you have on yours? Perhaps they just changed to a less strong glue or even applied less glue due to the first batches problem of stains/glue residue.
