Looking to get Ghost Armor - worth getting the whole kit?
 
I'm looking to get the Ghost Armor screen protector but had a question concerning the whole kit.

Would the whole Ghost Armor kit kind of overkill if I'm planning to get a Seidio hardcase/holster combo? I think considering that I have to look at this thing for the next two years I'd want it looking new for at least a little while before wear and tear takes over.

Any thoughts?

Well, I ordered the entire armor "kit" from Ghost Armor 2 days ago. It should be here sometime next week. I watched the videos on youtube about it and was impressed. I don't like a phone to be that bulky when installing it in one of those cases that completely cover the phone. I am careful with my phone and as long as I don't drop it onto concrete or brick, it should be ok. If I DO drop it, I have insurance on it and will just get a new one.

Just my 2 cents...
Cheers!

I bought the Ghost Armor screen protector and didn’t like it. It fit great on my Verizon TP2 but it was too soft and way too sticky. When I removed it four days later and replaced it with a Martin Fields I seriously thought I was going to tear the screen off the damn phone!

Anyway… While it was on, it did not interfere with the TouchFlo functionality what so ever. So, I guess I would have to say if you are OK with the soft rubbery feel and you really take your time applying it, you will probably like the Ghost Armor. Personally I prefer the harder protectors like the BoxWave or Martin Fields.

I installed the whole kit and really like it, word of advice though.... Don't use the squeegy that comes with the kit. I scratched the front of my screen with it in a couple of spots. I credit card would work a lot better and not mess up the screen.

I tried the kit and didn't like the fit. I am very pleased with the bodyguardz brand kit. It fit great (less pieces) and 2 kits for the same price as 1 ghost or zagg.

Did you get a discount on them? They seem to be the same price as Ghost Armor on the bodyguardz website.

I went to their facebook or twitter site ...they usually post a code for 20% (you sometimes have to scroll through a page or 2 to find one). I think my code was madness for 20% off. Yes, the price may be identical (without the discount) but bodyguardz sends you 2 kits and the others is just one...and they sell you kits in the future at 20% off.

No, I don't work for bodyguardz or know anyone there...I just liked their product.

Thanks for the help everyone- it's good to get your opinions since I didn't know the screen protector would feel rubbery or use the credit card instead of the one supplied.

Re: Looking to get Ghost Armor - worth getting the whole kit?
 
I have the full ghost armor on my phone and i like it. it does have a 'rubbery/plastic' feel, but that is too be expected when you put a 'rubbery/plastic' ON the phone. :-)

the kit they sent for the Sprint version fit really well. you just need to make sure you do not stretch the top cover too far over the edges -- like me. that will cause the sides to overlap. (my fault. user error. not the armor itself.)

if you're looking to have a phone that feels pretty then i would not recommend the armor. if you want a phone that still looks good and is protected from scratches/dings, then i highly recommend ghost armor.

I have had the Ghost screen protector for about 2 weeks. It is very rubbery and soft, I think thats how it doesnt get scratched.
If you push with your stylus or fingernail, you will see a mark that goes away after like 15 seconds......reminds me of the Tempurpedic mattress commercials.

Finger scrolling is smoother with the lexan type.....not as grabby.

Re: Looking to get Ghost Armor - worth getting the whole kit?
 
I just got the full body kit put on my phone at an instore kiosk here in Arizona. It covers the phone completely and feels very nice. The screen is still very smooth and finger scrolling feels the exact same. I can definitely feel the edges of the Ghost Armor on certain parts of the phone where the armor ends, but I still like knowing that when I take it off when it comes time to sell it (TP3?) that it will look brand new. Also, it has a lifetime warranty on the skin, so if I have to exchange for warranty purposes, I can get a new one put on at any time, so long as I bring them the old skin.

I've got the complete Ghost Armor shield on my phone. It works really well but after a couple months, the edges start to get sticky and lint and dust starts sticking the the edges of the shield, no matter how much you try to keep it clean.

I have used InvisibleShields in the past and they did the same thing.

I'm pretty happy with the Ghost Armor and don't think it would be overkill to use it in conjunction with a holster or case of some sort. Extra protection is never a bad thing, IMO.

There is a lifetime warranty on Ghost Armor. Simply contact them and you'll get a new cover.

in my opinion i thing the zagg full body invisible shields are the best shields ive ever used on any of my phones..ive had them on my G1, Iphone, Touch HD, HTC Magic, and now im waiting for my touch pro 2 one to come :)...theyre light, they feel nice, they make the screen battery, and they keep the phone protected...and if it ever wears off they replace it for you because of the life time warranty (which ive only needed to do once because i was working with oily stuff and texting with oily hands lol)

I can only comment on the screen protector part, but I have tried a lot of different protectors over the years. I did a lot of research before ordering and the winner is Phantom Skinz. Found HERE: http://phantomskinz.com/
I am very impressed with everything about them. Unlike Zagg no orange peel and very lil rubbery feel. Looks very shiny and smooth.

I have the whole kit applied (vzw version) and i love it. I happen to like the slightly rubberized feel. Makes it more secure in my hand, as I never feel it slipping when holding it in various grips. As far as using the supplied rubber scraper thing, I had no problems there. Make sure you keep it wet and it should go fine. Follow others advice and apply it in a bathroom with a HOT shower running to take down dust. I got a few hairs under one section and it took me hours to remove it.
Ordered directly from ghost armor's sight. Everything was quick, including delivery.

Well you sold me on it. I have never tried this brand before and I dont typically like the military grade films because of the orange peel look but I followed your link and got 2 full body kits with a 33% discount and free shipping all for $16 bucks :D ( Ghost armor was $30 after shipping for 1 kit , not good )

I do have to admit I am a little excited to get these , thanks again.
