Product Description
This kit includes:
- Skinomi film
- Installation Squeegee
- Bottle of Application Solution

Skinomi TechSkin goes beyond traditional screen protectors, skins, covers, and cases. This cell phone protector is made from clear thermoplastic urethane film - the same film used to protect military aircrafts and NASA space shuttles. It has the ability to resist high levels of abrasion, making it the ultimate protector for gadgets and devices. The film "scratch-proofs" your device without adding bulk like traditional cases. Skinomi TechSkin is designed to provide lifetime protection for your device. If the film ever wears or scratches, Skinomi will replace it for free, for as long as you need it for your device. If you ever need to remove the TechSkin, it peels off easily leaving no residues unlike other screen protectors or skins.

 Wonderful screen protector, fits like a glove! November 29, 2009

I installed the Skinomi TechSkin screen protector on my Droid about 2 weeks ago, and I have to say that it is a wonderful addition to my phone. Installation was a breeze and was nowhere near as complicated as other reviews for this product seem to state. Yes, you need to care about the process and be willing to give it your full attention for about 4-5 minutes (that's how long it took me to install it, from set up to clean up).
Installation:
There are clear instructions for how to install it on your phone, including for your phone to be powered off for 12-24 hours. I actually left my phone on during installation and never turned it off; you just have to be careful to not let any of the liquid from the included spray bottle go into the earpiece speaker hole. Also, I was liberal in applying the liquid to my finger tips, which helped immensely in preventing any fingerprints. Immidiately after installation, I could see a few micro bubbles under part of the screen protector, but all these disappeared within 48 hours, and now I can barely tell that there's an extra layer of protection on my Droid.
Use
Before installing the TechSkin, I noticed that here was a small ledge or edge between my Droid's screen and the metal bezel surrounding the screen. Occasionally I would be on a phone call with the Droid pressed against my ear and I would feel this edge digging into my ear, and I found it moderately annoying/painful. The Techskin, after installation, makes this edge much less sharp by bringing the level of the screen up to the height (barely a millimeter, mind you) of the bezel. I feel this was an unintended benefit, as my Droid is a whole lot more comfortable to hold to my ear now.
Also, the TechSkin makes the Droid's screen a whole lot less fingerprint-prone. Before installation, I would find myself cleaning the Droid's screen several times a day. Now, it seems to not attract or show fingerprints anywhere near as easily.
To reply to S. Bagherinezhad's review, yes, I did too notice the "rubberyness" that was mentioned in his/her review, but after two weeks of daily use, either I am no longer noticing this use, or the TechSkin has had a chance to completely cure and harden to the point that it feels smooth and has zero stickiness or rubberyness to it whatsoever. I think that when the TechSkin is new and freshly applied, it may feel a little rubbery, but it fades with time. The protection factor though, does not.
Would I recommend this to a friend with a Droid? Yes, I most certainly would! The ease of application coupled with the added layer of protection for one of the best screens out there on a touch-based phone is much needed.
Tip: when installing, make sure to wash your hands just before spraying them down with the included solution/liquid. Also, be sure your desk or table top is clean and dust free. Take your time and prepare, and your TechSkin will be crystal clear in just a day or two. Good luck!
Great Skin - absolutely perfect finish November 29, 2009

Glad I read the reviews of some of the others here.
I applied mine, keeping everything wet with the spray. My squeegee card seemed to have sharp edges so I used an old credit card to move most of the bubbles out. Alignment was no problem and it fit perfectly.
There were a bunch of areas of cloudiness due to micro-bubbles. But, three days later, every one is gone, somehow evidently leaching out through the film itself. The finish is now 100% perfect and only distinguishable from the hard screen by a slight softness of touch.
Have to agree with the previous reviewers, read the directions, clean everything well with a lint free cloth, use plenty of spray, don't press too hard with the squeegee and take your time - no need to rush. Great product.
Great product November 21, 2009

This is a great skin. It fits very well almost hitting all the edges perfectly. Like any screen protector, it takes patience and being careful to get a perfect result.
Don't be afraid to spray a lot on the sticky side, and always get your fingers soaked with the applicator spray (your fingers will dry as you apply the screen protector after awhile, so make sure you reapply). Don't try to force out all the bubbles, just get the big ones and all the excess liquids out. The smaller bubbles and the micro bubbles will disappear in a week or 2 (I have had mine on for a week and there is only one small bubble filled with micro bubbles left).
Just be patient, I think I washed my hands about 5 times while getting everything set up, then continuously made sure my fingers were soaked with the spray.
As for the screen protector itself, I have not gotten any scratches on it at all, and it feels like a high quality screen protector. Very pleased with this one.
Great product....see for yourself.... April 27, 2010

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1OJH6WMNDZLXS At first I freaked out when I tried to apply the skin. Just tell yourself to remain calm. If you don't get it right the first time, you can peel it off and try again. The video addresses the bubble issue that so many seem to have.....I hope its helpful.

Let's get one thing out of the way: you have to have patience with this product, both for installation and for it to set.
If you can handle that, let's move on. Almost everything that I am about to say reiterates the instructions, which are detailed and provide optimum results if followed.
- Read all of the instructions that come with it before you begin the process.
- Thoroughly clean the screen. Ideally you want to wipe it down with a lens cleaning cloth and then give it a quick shot with compressed air
- Keep your fingers and the skin wet.
- Use the install card to push the excess air and solution out as you go along (more on this later)
- Yes, the bubbles go away. However, the more you have, the longer it takes. Expect 2-4 days. In the first 24 hours, you will notice that the bubbles have shrunk. They will continue to do so until they have disappeared completely. A majority of the bubbles that I had on mine were only visible when the screen was off, so it did not affect the screen clarity.
A few side notes:
- The reason why the instructions tell you to keep your phone off for 12-24 hours is because liquids (i.e. the solution) and electronics don't mix. It is to allow time to dry in the event that some of the solution gets inside any of the openings in your handset.
- I thought that my install card was missing. I found it after I already installed the skin when I took the box completely apart. What I didn't think of at the time is that a credit card would have been a good substitute. That being said, I didn't use anything to push the excess air and solution out as I went along and I still had good results.
- What the heck is a microbubble? The best way that I can describe them is that they are tiny spheres that don't hinder the feel of the screen as opposed to air pockets or "blisters" that noticeably raise the skin off of the screen. It is possible to have a cluster of air bubbles that can raise the skin but these go away just as the others do.
- The skin gives a little more "grip" to the screen, not enough to where you it changes the feel of the phone. I actually kind of like it for tap functions but it will feel less smooth on slide functions.
- I don't notice any difference in display quality. Without the skin, the display has a very smooth, glass surface. With the skin, it reminds me of the surface of a glossy notebook screen.
This is very different from the generic, trim-to-size, multi-pack screen protectors that just don't work. If you are looking for a product similar to the Skinomi TechSkin, check out Zagg.
