Too soon yet, but as part of your “couple months” follow-up you might want to try taking some comparison photos now and then. Sometimes products like this have a tendency to “yellow” with age, would be interesting to know if these are susceptible.

Yes, the BodyGuardz are a full skin (aside from the keyboard that is) they have nice cutouts for the camera, as well as all the ports. I have also heard that by using a hair dryer you can get the corners to stick REALLY well. I will post an update here in a couple months to let you all know how they are holding up.

@donpnor, I too have that issue with my 8330. I bought the skins from bestskinsever.com and the top 2 edges on the front face plate have started to peel back and collect lint from my pockets. But, it’s only a little bit of the peeling so it’s not that bad. The other thing is that the bestskinsever.com skin doesn’t cover the whole BB. The black edges are still exposed. I’ve dropped my BB a couple of times on concrete and have incurred some deep scratches on the black edges of my BB. Wish it was a FULL cover.

Anyone know if the BodyGuardz skin is a full skin?

I was thinking the same thing about the adhesives – most skins start coming off after several months and need to be replaced purely for that. I’m assuming that’s why you get two skins.

Are you able to get a different color skin for the second one, or are they both the same?

Have you tried BestSkinsEver? Sounds identical – even to the application process. What I found with them as time went on (6 months +) the adhesive on the corders started to loosen and then caught dirt and pocket lint, etc. I’d be curious to see how BodyGuardz compare in the long run…

Nice review, I was skeptical of buying this before so I bought a full case with a clip weeks ago. Now I know to get this for my Gphone and Javelin in the future.
