BestSkinsEver Full Body Screen Protector for iPhone 4/4S Review & Giveaway

In this article we are going to be taking a look at the "BestSkinsEver Full Body Screen Protector for the iPhone 4/4S". Before I start the review, I want to thank BestSkinsEver.com, for sending me this product out for review and for sponsoring this giveaway. Read the rest of the article to find out if BestSkinsEver live up to he name and the rules of the giveaway.

In the package you will find all the parts of the product and an instruction manual to help you install the screen protector.

Before starting the installation process, make sure to:

1.) Wash your hands

2.) Switch off your iPhone before starting the installation process.

3.) Clean your device with a microfiber cleaning cloth.

4.) In a spray bottle, fill it with water and mix it with soap to create the solution. If you don't have a spray bottle, find a small bowl and do the same thing. This will help you to install all the parts of the product with an exact precise. Before you install any part make sure to spray or dip the skin in the solution.

Installation process:

1.) First of all start with the front and the back screen protectors.

2.) Install the protector for the home button.

3.) Install the small protector for the speaker.

4.) Install the right side's protector.

5.) Install the protector for the microphone.

6.) Install the left's side protector.

7.) Install the protector, which is for; between the two volume buttons.

8.) Install the last piece of the protector which begins from the left side of the headphone import and it ends before the "Plus" volume button.

For more info on how to install the product on your phone visit BestSkinsEver website to learn more: BestSkinsEver installation help

After installing use a credit card to remove the bubbles, and if you can't remove all of them, they will be removed on their own in 24 to 48 hours.

The installation process is really easy when the user uses the spray bottle, but I found out that if you use the solution into a bowl, the installation process is going to take a lot more time.

Now lets take a look at the good features of the product. The screen protector has a cutout for both cameras, volume buttons and the profile switcher button. It has also for the headphones import, the microphone, the light indicator, the mico SIM card slot, for the USB cable import and for both speakers. And finally it offers great protection, the phone feels very solid in the hand and the material quality is really good.

Now let's take a look at the cons of the product. First of all the buttons are a bit harder to press and the profile switcher was a lot more difficult to use. The iPhone while with the screen protectors installed can't be compatible with hard cases; however it is with most silicon ones. 

Overall I will rate this product 7/10, because, in my opinion, in the package it should be also included a small spray bottle with the solution and a smoothie card to remove the bubbles. Also if you don't use a spray bottle and you use the solution into a bowl, installation process is a pain.

Do I suggest this product? If you are an iPhone user who wants his device to be fitted in a hard case, I would definitely not recommend because with the protectors installed the iPhone can't be placed in hard cases (except if you use silicon cases). If you like your device to be naked; I will surely recommend it. It protects the device from scratches, you’ll have access to all the buttons and imports, and the device feels very solid in the hand.

Review: Joby GorillaPod 

The Joby GorillaPod is certainly a great tripod if you don't mind the size. It is very sturdy, flexable and most of all, fun! This tripod isn't ment to be used for serious photography as it is very lightweight, but for taking the odd photo or video, this is a great little accessory. There are many colours available for the Joby GorillaPod, these include the following:

  • White (as shown on video)
  • Yellow
  • Red
  • Green
  • Pink
  • Blue 
  • Orange

The advantages to this mini tripod is that you can wrap it round more or less everything with it's bendy legs. In the video shown above, I had the tripod wrapped around my monitor (Acer S243HL), lampshade and also my guitar! It is seriously amazing. I also like how cheap the GorillaPod is, on Amazon UK , you can buy this tripod for just £11.70! This is a bargain. The third thing I like about this tripod is the large variety of colours, they look great.

The disadvanteges to the Joby GorillaPod is that it is literally tiny! Also, when you bend the legs, it tends to nip your skin, which is very annoying! But other than that, I can't complain!

Over all, I give this tripod a 9 out of 10!
