Accessories ***new g1 mirror screen cover***

Wow! These things ship fast and the pics and vids do not do them justice. They are everybit as good as Secret says they are. Thanks Secret for the heads up on this. I am really loving it. In fact...I just ordered more so I have extras. :D:D


no prob. ive ordered like 6 of these things just so i have extra. next you guys should order the silicone skin, its pretty damn cool and it really protects your phone. i ordered one in black and white.

I like silicone cases but the one for the G1 doesn't cover the screen part so the part you are REALLY trying to protect is still exposed.

I've seen a few cases and when on the phone they all made it to damn big so I went with the Invisa shield full body protection.
So far I like it, I may take it bask and have a couple of the pieces replaced as she applied them crooked. I'm kinda anal so it bugs me.

yea that invisishield is really effective, but it looks kinda tacky on the phone. but it does give the best protection. im thinking bout rubber dipping my phone, or rubber painting the whole phone except for the screen and buttons. then it would be super durable like those nextel phones.

I have to report that based on my Jan 5th review mine didn't last 1 month. I took it off today. The top edge began to fray apart.

The thickness of this protector is so nice and thick it really does a great job protecting the screen. The action we all do a lot with the Android OS is to open the notification bar/window pulldown. Which is where my wear and tear existed.

Apparently your finger naturally starts slightly above the screen in the swipe motion and after a month of pulldowns (figure at least 5-15 a day minimum) the slightly thicker protector was really showing its wear and tear.

I am going to look for the thinner all clear factory style one. That one worked really well for more than a few months. Any links anyone?

I dont want to sound rude but alot of people seem to not know how to take close up pictures using thier digital camera's ( or older ones...whatevs) So i looked it up and found a site that shows you how. In short, you choose this mode

and get close to what you want to take a picture of and snap! End result?

Isn't this a tad off topic for this thread? I don't even see someone talking about it. Though I agree it is a valuable piece of info to know about. And certainly for taking good closeup shots of Android hardware.
