XtremeGuards Full Body Protection for iPhone 5 - 2 for $3.00 Shipped

ttuguy09 said:
I got mine today for my black iPhone 5. I've never done a "wet install". Does the phone really need to stay off for 8-20 hours or is there a risk in waiting a few minutes before turning back on?

I only wait a few minutes
 
How long was your shipping?

I ordered mine on Friday, and I'm hoping to get it before the newest code expires so I can order a couple more if I like it.

Does it provide a relatively matte finish or glossy? Seems to be glossy and it's hard to believe that doesn't fingerprint.
 
wow... thanks op... got 3 for $2.99... got two back and one front...although I have hd zagg installed for the screen protector(juz so ya'll know... the hd one does not take away the retina display IMO)... was really looking for one for the back... so got em.... bummer, it doesn't have one for side... looking to get one from icarbons for the sides

Got mine on the 6th day
 
Just ordered 3 for $5.99.

I love the look of the iPhone 5 so didn't want to cover it was a case but, also didn't want to scratch the back all to hell either. I never had a screen protector on the front of my iPhone 4 so not sure if ill do the front and back or just the back. I like the smoothness of the iPhone screen without a protector on it.

How do these work with bumpers? I know my wife wants a pink one for her phone.

Maybe it just needs to set, but I just tried putting on a bumper and it ripped the screen from the phone. I am going to let it set and dry for a couple days and then try again.

UPDATE: I let the body shield set for a couple of hours and then put on my Monoprice Black iPhone 5 bumper. The result was much better and only one side peeled up, but I managed to use the squeegee and push it back down.

Now my phone is where I want it and looks GREAT!

Let it sit over night without a case. It will dry much better and you'll be able to put the bumper back on without it peeling.
 
I just noticed that these don't come with the side protectors. I was under the assumption that "full body" meant sides too. Did I just not receive the sides, or does "full body" only mean front and back?

The image when "FULL BODY" is chosen shows a front and back protector. I only received a front and back, so full body to them must mean minus the sides.

The deal ended yesterday anyway.

EDIT: I am mistaken. You need to use the code 80OFF3.

I received my shields yesterday evening. I already have a Zagg front shield installed, so I went ahead and installed the XtremeGuards back.

I have to say I'm extremely impressed with the product, let alone the price. There's barely any orange peel effect compared to the Zagg and the fit is spot on. I'll definitely be taking my Zagg front off and finishing the complete install.

I'll try to post some pics of the Zagg vs. ExtremeGuards before I do though.
 
ordered 3 full (front and back) with coupon 80off3 for around 10$

thanks for the tip!

about the zagg you had, is it the HD version or the original? People are saying the HD version doesn't have the orange peel effect on it. But since the full HD is back order right now, and with a 45$ price including shipping, I bought 3 xtremeguard front and back for 10$

I have the HD version, and did the same thing Dark did, and used the back protector from Xtremeguard and am pretty happy with he result.

After drying for 24 hours, the back lost its grippy/rubbery feel and feel very smooth, almost (but not quite) like the hd zagg on the front. Of course, once your fingers get a little damp and sweaty, the film start to feel grippy.

To answer your question about the orange peel, The HD version doesn't have quite of an orange peel effect, tho if you look closely it has a very subtle texture that feels unoticeable (at least to me).

I originally ordered 4 full body sets, and was impressed with the results that I ordered 3 more sets plus 3 protectors for my iPad. Can't go wrong with a cheaply priced protector with great results.
