I have already sent an mail but no answer. In the video regarding the application you mention to repeat the step 2, 2 more times (3 in total). Can you explain the step to be repeated 3 times?
Got a tip for us?

Question about the actual product. What if, for some reason, you leave a coating on for more than 5 minutes before buffing it out? Are you stuck with a foggy film with no way of removing it? Thanks!
Another question. The instal video says to keep the phone clean/free of fingerprints etc. Kinda difficult if you have to hold the phone while coating the sides and top and bottom. Will fingerprints get 'baked' into the coating or are they 'buffed' out during the application process? Thanks!
They will buff out no problems, it's best to use some plastic gloves, you will be able to download the full instruction sheet in PDF from the URL printed on the box. Unfortunately I can't post anymore URLs on the forum I've had a message from the moderator.
Have to say I'm enjoying the Alien Skin a lot now it's been a couple of days. Any fingerprints or streaks can be wiped away with a cloth or even a t-shirt with no issues and it looks as good as new.
I'm using it on a matte black handset but I've already had people ask me how I got hold of a jet black model! This was an unintended consequence of ordering glossy on my part. If you don't have a jet black to hold it up to side-by-side, most people won't know the difference.

Alright, so I love the Onyx and the Alien Skin solution, but I'm not at a point in my life where I'm ready to spend $50 dollars on a case or protector. Am I crazy? Should I just suck it up for the sake of JB?!
I'm also caseless. Never thought about having a bumper. I'm just being extra careful. Thinking about getting a sleeve for it. The JB is just so beautiful, and even in a clear case, it's just not displayed like I want to see it!
From post #221:
"Onyx won't fill any scratched on the device, it's for protection only and we highly recommend using it in tandem with the Alien Skin for full protection, as you can see from the photo's Alien Skin's clarity is so clear it's almost invisible to the eye without close inspection. You would apply Onyx first after 2 hours apply the Alien Skin. It's best to instal the alien skin before you go to bed so it's dry for use in the morning. All the instructions will attached. For installation of the Alien skin can be seen on the website. Onyx will be ready shortly."
my jetblack, now 11 days later...naked....just checked (in direct sunlight) for those lovely scratches....cant seem to find them. Must be doing something wrong!!? (Or am I just enjoying this beauty to it fulliest???
)
)
I ordered a case for my JB ip7 I just got but for the screaming grip and handling ability of the JB I doubt I will use it. Because of that, for the sake of the JB I probably will just get a sleeve for it.
okay, 36 hours after applying the Alien Skin from Nanostate.co
-still see few miniscule dust parts, even after applying it in a dust free room and cleaning my jetblack iPhone like a maniac before applying the skin.
I guess the reason is that the jetblack iPhone is really glossy/shiny, so you will see everything between the Skin and the iPhone itself.
- a few annoying air bubbles still present which wont go away.
My personnal opinion about this very very expensive ( €42/ $50 !!!) Air Skin, I think you can find much less expensive similar skins (with probally same quality). For, in my case, €42 I would expect a top notch product/skin. It's simply not that.
There are similar skins available which are about €20/$25 cheaper then the Alien Skin from Nanostate.

Me,too! Has anyone in the US who ordered received theirs yet? I ordered 9/17 & am still awaiting shipping notification!
Hey Jvjlite. Reach out to Steven again at their regular email. Steven responded and answered my questions. He seems to be an honest business person.
I ordered on 9-17 also and was told it would ship out on 9-20 and I should receive my order in 3-4 days (I live in US). I still have not received my order and also they will not respond to my emails requesting a tracking number. I thought this was a good company to work with but now I'm not so sure.
