Cheap ones I bought off ebay. They actually apply very well, with almost no bubbling.
I just installed Phantom Skinz matte back and sides on my black iPhone 5. It was a PITA but no more so than any other wet application skin. It came out fantastic, I highly recommend it. As a side note it fit in my Cygnett Bulldozer case with absolutely no issues at all. I really feel like my phone is protected extremely well now.
To follow up on my own post it's now been 12 hours since the install. Everything has dried up and it looks exquisite. It's so much nicer than the clear skins like BSE IMO. I'm super pleased.

Back protection from XTREME GUARDZ...wet install but you need barely any solution and use microfiber to soak it up along with hair dryer to set in place quick. Very easy install and extremely forgiving. I spent $1.50 for it and love it for the price, quality, clarity and install.
Front is Generik AG/AF but not the best picture i took. Extremely vivid but helps break up glare and keep fingerprints down to an extreme min under certain angles. Value again for $4 for 3 screen and high quality adds slight thickness for protection. Easy dry install and very smooth feel with no resistance like full body rubber orange peel crappy protectors on the front. Stick with new GLASS SGP or quality film.

Are the sides a completely seperate piece from the backs, meaning they dont wrap upwards and also protect the bezel?, thats the only thing that looks like has no "film" method of protecting it, the chamfered edge, which is what im most worried about honestly, ive atually returned the black one i had until i figure out what im going to do, never been so worried about a freaking iPhone before but dont want it all scratched.
