Nexus One – Best Skins Ever Review
Well, at least initial thoughts. I have one more piece to go, and I’m holding out on a full review until I give it a day or two to set fully and all.
My initial impressions are positive. The skins are very fairly priced, and the instructions on the website are detailed and accurate. The screen protector, was, at first, a huge disappointment. I applied it according to the instructions and got a hazy, terrible screen for my troubles. I decided to give it a while in hopes the moisture still under the screen would evaporate, and a couple of hours later, it was obvious that it was clearing up. After 6-7 hours, it was perfectly clear. It’s much, MUCH less prone to scratching than the Case-Mate Screen Protector
On the other hand, I’m less enthusiastic about the rest of the skin. The piece for the battery cover went on easily for me, as did the little strip for the metal part.
The bottom piece is the problem for me. No matter what I do, I can’t get it to sit right on the corners. Move it one way and it bubbles out at the bottom. Move it the other way and it bubbles out at the top. I even used an Xacto Knife
to trim some excess, in hopes it would keep it from binding around the corners and get it sitting flush, didn’t seem to do a lot of good though. I’m still giving it a shot, as they say it gets tackier as time goes on.
Tomorrow I’ll update this post and show some pics of the front, as I have yet to install the peice that goes around the trackball, front, and sides. As it stands, I can suggest the screen protector without any reservations. Jury is still out on the full skin.
