How do you plan to protect the Jet Black Finish? [MERGED]

[bwsteg]

Hello Guys,

I'm Steve from Nanostate, the makers of Onyx the nanotechnology coating for the jet black.

The Onyx coating will be fine for light users, if your a heavy or rough user then we would not recommend it. We have received a lot of emails from people who think the product is bullet proof, Onyx is limited to what it can do, if you get a key and scratch hard then it will penetrate the coating or if you dig a coin in to the surface it will do the same. This product is really for people who take care of there devices.

For the more rugged user we have Alien Skin which is a Nano film like no others on the market, it's super clear and almost invisible and can only be seen on close inspection, from our tests the gloss finish is not effected once the film is applied.

I would love to answer any questions people have if it's about our products or others as protective surfaces is my field.

Send me a sample, so I can make a review on it...

@chfilm

Thanks for the questions

So how is onyx applied?
Just 3 drops from the bottle / 3 coats

Will it protect the phone from those micro scratches everyone is so afraid of?
That's a bit of a tricky question, for example some types of sand have some very hard minerals inside quartz being the main offender of micro scratches, if it's just day to day dirt and dust then it's not a problem. With a case as you well know that over time it accumulates dirt and dust and can still scratch your phone.

I'm too paranoid, can't even have the iPhone 6s without a leather case, after it fell down and the screen shattered horribly...
Our Alien Skin film has shock resistance as well, the videos can be seen on our website (I don't want to post any links and be accused of spamming, I'm genuinely here to answer questions not promote our products)

And please tell us some more info about the alien skin. It's like a regular protective film but better?
The Alien Skin & Shock Stopper (front screen protector) are not normal PET films that other full body skin companies use, these are all from China and pretty poor performance, our film is imported from... Germany We then top coat it with self healing properties, then cut in to the phones shapes.

At some point the edges always looked nasty or there was some air trapped inside
Some of the cheap films go a yellow colour and this can look like the film is dirty, our film has anti-yellow properties so we don't have this issue.

The application is very easy and bubble free, you can see that on our website. For some reason your skin gets damaged or beyond use you can get a replacement for free (just shipping costs) it has a life time guarantee.

Hope that answers some of your questions.

If I get 10 requests for the following offer in this post then we will setup a coupon number on checkout and include the Alien Skin back piece for your jet black with your purchase of Onyx exclusively for mac rumour members. How does that sound ? That way you have double protection with a lifetime guarantee.

Cool man, thanks for answering! I'd sure like that coupon code and order one.

Looks like the Onyx is out of stock. Won't allow pre-order.

Has anyone ever used their Liquid Sapphire?

Been thinking about ordering this Onyx since I saw it about a week ago. I just ordered it. We'll see how it works when my jb+ gets here in 2018.

 

[boy-better-know]

Will use this case as a start

I am scared to snap the JB in and out of a spigen. Even the ones with soft bumpers require it to be snapped in and that's exactly the kind of friction that's gonna scratch it.

I opted for the official leather case but then that leaves thw bottom exposed.

 

[SHKLMRE]

My first though was a full body protector, like one that's offered from Xtremeguard. I had one on my 6 Plus and I really like it. It had to be wet for application, but now since the phones are waterproof it's a lot less riskier.

I am doing this with BestSkinsEver. Xtremeguard to me was never that good.

Highly doubt it will scratch just going in and out a case. That's being a tad paranoid to be fair

Apple pays far less than eBay does though.

The convenience is worth it.

Just give it back to Apple. Done.

 

[boy-better-know]

Not really

I don't actually mind a few scratches. I just think if the phone has to snap in place there is going to be regular friction on the same areas.

Hi mike, what about for the matte black. Would you recommend onyx? Or the liquid sapphire. I was thinking in one of these or the alien skin. I am very interested in your products

I have a question for you. When applying onyx to my jet black 7, do I need to avoid getting this coating over the camera lens and flash? Will it make a difference?

Would certainly be interested in this, would like the Alien skin.

I am doing this with BestSkinsEver. Xtremeguard to me was never that good.

Snap.

I do not really care if it gets scratched but I have loved the Apple leather case since I got my 6 and this time around I went for it again with their new color.
