What are the cheapest and best option out there for an entire skin protector for the Droid X? I paid $10 one time for the entire phone besides the screen to be covered in GA shields one time but the kiosk is no longer there :( And I refuse to buy into Invisishield's expensive ass products! I was thinking about trying bestskinsever.com again, but are there any better products out there for around $10?
 
Take a look at skinit.com. They're $15 I believe, but they're supposed to be great quality. I've never personally used one though.
 
I tried many skins, spent a lot of money experimenting... then I found out my screen was made from Gorilla Glass. My DX has been naked ever since. NOTHING beats riding bare back!

Skin it if you wish, I'm not calling you a fool by any means. I just figure if an object hits my screen with enough force to leave a mark on some Gorilla Glass, it's going to shred right through a flimbsy piece of plastic laying on top of it anyways. But then again, that's just me.

Force is less of a concern than, say, having a piece of sand in your pocket that is rubbing up and down on the screen. That could leave a mark, whereas a skin would have prevented it.

That said, my phone is naked too.
 
I bought the Phantom Skins chromatic carbon fiber skin. It was quite pricey, but the quality is great. The full screen cover is the best one I have had yet, you do have to use a water solution to apply the screen cover. It took about 3 days for all the tiny bubbles and haze to evaporate from under the screen cover, I was worried for a while. I buried it in a bowl of rice over night to absorb as much moisture as possible.

I like the texture feel the faux carbon fiber skin adds to the phone, I can also still use the Motorola car dock or desk cradle (with a little modification). It was about $25 on promotion, I would probably buy it again.

I just got the zagg invisishield off Amazon for $13.00 each, mind you those are full body covers for the Droid X.
Stores charge $40-50 and more for installation of this same thing.
There is still a screen protector on there for $11.??
