Default If You Have Button Issues, Do You Have a Screen Protector?

I want to know for those with button issues while phone is flat, are you using a screen protector? I peeled my ps off and all problems are gone

Maybe they should just make screen protectors that stop before the buttons! I should do that! Lol

Verizon beat you to it. The one for the 9530 effectively does this.

I was actually going to make a poll about this today. My phone had no screen issues till I added the Phantom Skinz screen protector. I finally got fed up with the buttons and when nothing else would fix it, I decided to take the screen protector off. As soon as I did all the screen problems disappeared. I left the rest of the body protection on, but my screen is naked.

Default PhantomSkinz Screen Protector

We have not physically seen this issue but if there is a doubt, you can always order the Storm 1 version which will be short of the buttons. Please let us know if the screen protector seems to cause issues. We will try and accommodate any issues/problems.

How about "Naked and have NO button issues"?

My 4 function buttons don't work correctly when my phone is lying flat on a solid surface, but as soon as I pick it up they work fine, 100% of the time.

To be honest, it wasn't just the four bottom buttons it caused problems with. The responsiveness of the whole screen was reduced with the screen protector on. I don't think this is an issue with just Phantom Skinz, however, it will need some more research to determine the cause for sure.

I was very pleased with the look and feel of the screen protector, but the screen issues it caused were unacceptable to me. I still love the rest of the body protection, though, not all the pieces were cut exactly right. I had problems with the black plastic piece below the screen, which had too much of a curve to it. And the piece that wraps around the chrome on the upper back side of the phone was too short from side to side.

Other than those pieces, i was very impressed with the fit and form of the product. I'm happy to see you monitor this site for problems such as these.

Hydroz, sorry...just realized I hijacked the thread a bit.

I don't think the issue is with the screen protector. I've had the phone naked, with a screen protector that left all buttons exposed and now with one that covers all the screen including the buttons and I'm problem free.

I had the screen protectors that did not cover the buttons and had the problems. I then switched to to the full screen protector and still had the problems.
