Phantom Skinz Chromatic reviews, screens

[jesterkiller]

got my protector from ebay today. took about 20 mins to apply. other than a few bubbles its great. and the bubbles aren't noticeable really.

I decided to order a phantom skinz and got the black, should be here in a few days and I'll update with impressions. I'm use to invisible shield so I am interested in how well this works.

The cutouts look quite poor to be honest, it leaves so many of the edges exposed that will get all scratched and catch dust.

If you're talking about the Chromatics, I was thinking the same thing. The clear ones don't look too bad though (the ones I ordered).

How long ago did you order them? When placing my order I didn't put an email address in, and I don't see a way on their website to check the order of your status. Just wondering how fast they are at shipping and what not

Ordered mine on Thursday, and they arrived today. Got the Carbon Fiber. Looks great, but the gaps between pieces impacts the overall feel.

I ordered mine late Thursday night, they shipped Friday afternoon, and are suppose to arrive Monday Morning via USPS. Hope that helps she said most orders are shipping next day.

 

[TDQuiksilver]

Yes, Phantom ships very fast. Usually within 24 hours. They are out of Phoenix, AZ.

 

[NOSintake]

Sounds like I need to check my mailbox then, cause I ordered mine Wednesday night with USPS Priority Mail.

Side note - did anyone order the matte option?

Yeah, the Chromatics. If they fit like they show on the website, it would look awesome, but they are cut so badly (look at the pics above) if you had any color except clear or black it would look horrible with 1/8"-1/4" of the phone showing from underneath.

Yes... they come with two invisible screen protectors.


And I wouldn't say the cuts are "horrible" - but I'll agree they aren't perfect. It does look a lot better in person than observing close-up pictures. At first I wasn't too partial on the "feel" of the carbon, but now I absolutely love it.

4.5 out of 5 stars in my book. Better cuts and these would be perfect.

 

[baddress]

I didn't say the cuts are horrible, they are just bad, but I'm saying I think it would look horrible to see the 1/8"-1/4" of black phone color sticking out around the edges of your blue, or red, or white or whatever skin.

Ok, I just installed mine a few hours ago, and its pretty good as of right now. Only point of concern I have is these little bubbles. I couldn't get them out with the "application card". So my question is, will they flatten themselves out or will I have to reinstall it?

The ones on my phone flattened themselves in couple of days. I would wait for a week before redoing it.

 

[TDQuiksilver]

Phantom's screen protectors take a couple of days to "heal" and the remaining air pockets should relieve themselves. Continue to "massage" them off and on throughout the day to help this.

 

[NOSintake]

Thanks msud, and TDQ. When I first applied it, it looked like my Captivate was breaking out in pimples. Woke up this morning, and it had clear skin! (Thanks ProActive, hahaha). There's one small bubble left, but I would assume that would go away by the end of the day

I went to Phantom Skins site, and did not find the Captivate listed to choose a skin for.

Dont forget their lifetime warranty. Any issues and they will replace your item.

Thanks. I must have had my blinders on, because I just went the long route I had before (working my way down the list of phones for AT&T) , and found it there too.

I recently bought the Captivate and I've been frantically looking for a good screen protector. I've already looked at Gadget Guard, Lexard, and (from what has been said in this thread) ZAGG. None of them seem to be very good.

Can someone who has been using the Phantom Skinz screen protector for a few days please comment on its quality? I'm looking for a screen protector that won't collect too much dust in the corners while in my pocket. I would like it to feel very smooth (like the original screen). And I'd like a protector that doesn't glare in light, making it difficult to read content on the screen.

Also, I don't want to get the chromatics case because of the added bulk. Would you recommend a full body kit or just the screen kit for the clear plastic cover?

Put Phantom Skinz on two capitvates today... Very thin and easy to put on. Seems like a nice quality product. I have now used both the Zagg and Phantom screen protectors both are really great. Both have pros and cons.... Pro to the Zagg is it is thicker. Con is the texture is not quite as smooth as the Phantom people describe it as orange peel. Pro to Phantom very smooth, 2 skin protectors for the price of one, alot cheaper, same warrenty as Zagg. Con is it being somewhat thin. Both have lifetime warranty, and protect very well. Both are cut very well and fit the phones, touch sensitivity is not hurt at all by either covers. Doesn't glare in light?? both are gonna have a glare they have as much shine as the factory screen does. If you want one that doesn't find a privacy screen protector.
