Wrapsol Ultra is the best shield...

Are these supposed to be sold at every Wal-Mart? I went hunting and couldn't find them at 2 of my local stores. Boo.

Most Super centers I'd say. I found mine at a walmart that has a "mobile" section in the front by returns.
 
apparently you can wash them and try again with these if you want. i like the side pieces, as it prevents the antenna problem, but my back is ugly as sin though. will probably try again later. i have no idea how to let these dry without getting something on them.

i'm not putting on the front though, going to use a steinheil ultra crystal for that. or i might try, then take it off if i don't like it.

Wash it in solution and put it directly on the back no drying use half teaspoon of mild soap to 1 cup of water I did this and it came out perfect
 
i thought about that, but the thing is that you need to stretch them to size though. otherwise there's a noticeable gap between the bottom of the protector and the end of the glass.
 
I'm going to my local staples tomorrow and picking up the wrapsol ultra. I'm worried how hard it is going to be to install. I'll try soap and water though.
 
I'd definitely say use a wet solution to apply because I've failed quite a few times with the dry apply. And it does need to be stretched out a little on the bottom but as others said it's not that difficult, just be careful not to stretch or too much where it hangs off the edge.
 
About to go pick another up from Wally World. I just got back from my BCS Game trip where I dropped my phone. This was no cutesy drop either. The phone came out of an upper pocket in my jacket while I was walking briskly. Almost running. It hit my knee and tumbled multiple times on coarse asphalt. It slid on the front for a few feet before stopping. It chewed the Wrapsol up pretty bad but the phone is perfect. I would do a warranty and may still do that but the film was looking so bad I couldn't stand it and took it off during my trip. I still have the film on a piece of paper but wish I had taken photos of it for the board. Needless to say, I was shocked that the glass didn't break. I am sure there are ways to break the glass with the Ultra on the phone but I am secure in the film even more now.

Wow, congrats to wrapsol forsure. Completely naked your phone could have been broken. I know for a fact it's pretty strong because I dropped mine straight onto the back as well when I was tipsy and my phone was fine. Now when I go out I put a silicone case on my phone because it's one of the only I know of that will fit.

I am amazed at the corners. I was thinking there was no way my metal band was not going to be all dinged up. The side pieces protected it very well. I have an Otterbox Commuter and it fits the phone with the Wrapsol on if you leave the side pieces off. I like the phone naked but just can't decide if I want to leave these off this time and use the Commuter at certain times. I do have some icolorwraps as well.

On a side note, this thread must be working for my local walmart. I went in and they were out of stock. Now I have to go today to another store and try to find another Ultra.

Hmm.. Well if it were me I'd put the side pieces on, thats the whole protection part, and wheres its probably gonna land if dropped. Theres some silicone cases that you can use if you want to use a case. And if I'm not mistaking the commuter still works with the wrapsol full body, doesn't fit 100% correct but it will work, fits for the most part.

And yes my walmart was out of stock as well here in Vegas, and theres actually only one walmart here that I know of that sells them out of the 10 we have in a small 30 mile radius! lol :rolleyes:
Luckily, that one is the closest to my house. I asked someone that works there and she said the reason for this is because their "Walmart Mobile" dept sells more stuff, very few walmarts have this inside. Btw its right in the front when you walk in. Are you guys finding this product in the walmart electronic section in the back or in the Walmart Mobile section right when you walk in the store?

I have 2 Wal-Marts close to me in Atlanta and they both have them in the back in electronics. I have been in a Wal-Mart in Cincy OH that had them up front in a mobile store though.
 
Oh ok.. That's good to know, thanks. And eastern walmart is too far for me to drive just to get that. I live in summerlin. Lol
 
So Wrapsol Ultra in the back and sides and PoweSupport Crystal in the front screen is the best choose from shields?
