If you have a shared plan and are the primary phone on the account, you are entitled to a phone upgrade every 12 months. This is from Sprint about the Premier benefit

"To thank you for choosing us, we treat you to incredible savings on primary phone upgrades every 12 months--10 months earlier than our standard offers (requires a 2-year service agreement). We also waive the upgrade fee, and, if you upgrade online, you can forget the shipping and activation fees. "

I'm on the phone with them now - just found out they changed the primary line when I added a line - if Sprint weren't so cheap, withthe Evo coming out...

After I ordered mine, I couldn't log into the website anymore, so I e-mailed them and they told me that the GA wouldn't come BUT, I got it in the mail last week. YMMV

Ditto. Mine showed up on Friday. It's the first item I've purchased from Ghost Armor...the feel of it impressed me. Very smooth, no sticky feel that I notice...can't wait to slap it on my EVO Friday morning.

Haha, I didn't even open mine yet because I don't want it to get messed up before I put it on my EVO!
 
does anyone know where to buy any of the nicer screen protectors (ghost armor, zagg, etc.) at a brick & mortar store?

thanks!

So when did you guys (gal) order yours? Just curious as to how long it takes to ship. I'm on the east coast so I'm guessing 3 days.

Sprint is a funny company. Its like a quirky marriage that you think of getting out of, until you see how costly the competition is, then you take another look at your spouse and decide he/she is not so bad after all.:D

What ever you guys do, make sure you follow the directions on the packaging and maybe watch a video or two on youtube... (No EVO vid's I could find, yet)

1.) Remove the battery / since the water dmg indicator is exposed, be carful not to spray it / get it wet.

2.) Once you've removed the battery / disassembled the EVO, wash your hands very well.

3.) Spray your hands with the spray included and above all else don't over do it with the spray on the skin (don't drench it).

4.) When using the squeegee, be carful when trying to even out the skin while removing air bubbles... you can burn the skin and cause it to stretch (the size doesn't distort, but it's clarity may)

Worse comes to worse and you screw up order a replacement... it "FREE" + Shipping is approximately $5.... Once on though let it dry for at least a half hour before you start using it... if you can give it as long as you can (i.e couple of hours)


GOOD LUCK :)

I keep seeing stuff about keeping your hands clean and sprayed. Would it not be wiser just to buy some cheap latex gloves and use those when applying the screens?

I ordered mine on 5/8/2010, so the wait was about 3 weeks.

It's all affixed onto a cardboard-like sleeve, so I just gently caressed it to get a feel for it...don't judge me. :o

No actually I think that's probably the worst thing you could do. Now I've only put one set of skins (Touch Pro) on but the skin on your finger is going to stay moist much better then a latex glove and you don't want the skin's sticky side sticking to those latex gloves because I would think that once it hits a dry spot on the latex that it's stuck forever and you'd have a major disaster! :eek:

Just my two cents
 
Here is a pic of what are beloved smartphone looks like in the inside.

NO!.... don't, it may bond and create a spot or spot's on the skin it's self. There is virtually no adhesive on the skin, but I wouldn't trust anything but bare hands. Just spray a bit and you good. Take your time.

Oh laaawd. Hope it was simply a case of them needing to have product to ship, and not a it takes that long to get it out and shipped.

Interesting, I didn't think about that but if you soaked the gloves in water perhaps that would help? Just seems it would be much easier to avoid any prints or dirt with gloves.

Noted. Didn't realize latex could bond so quickly with the shields.

I had the ZAGG on my Touch Pro2 and found it had a negative impact on screen sensitivity and even after several months, it felt a bit tacky and my finger would not move smoothly over it.

It's been awhile, I don't have my Hero skinned because it was my interim phone between the Pre and the EVO so I thought it to be a waste of money / time.... However whenever I put the Ghost Armor Skin on my pre or Instinct or what have you I did it with bare hands... would it stick to the gloves... I can't say, but do you want to have to reorder because you took a risk..... That
