Windows Phone Case Review: BodyGuardz Protective Skin

BodyGuardz Protective Skin for Windows Phone

Minimalists will capeesh the simplicity of the BodyGuardz Protective Skin for Windows Phone. Those looking for a scrap of protection for their Windows Phone may want to look elsewhere.

The skins are offered for a wide range of Windows Phones including the HTC Radar and Nokia Lumia 710. Nosotros took the BodyGuardz Pare out for a test drive on the Nokia Lumia 900 and while the peel is well made and durable, it doesn't offer any padding and essentially a barrier to protect your Windows Phone from scratches.

The BodyGuardz Protective Pare is a thick plastic/PVC sticker that wraps effectually your Lumia 900. The peel offers no padding to protect your Windows Phone from drops but it will prevent the telephone'southward example from being scratched upward. The carbon fiber texture adds a little grip to the Lumia 900 but I kept seeing the protective peel more than every bit a manner statement than a way to protect your Windows Phone.

The BodyGuardz peel is packaged with the skin itself, a cleaning cloth and a screen protector. With the Lumia 900 having Gorilla Glass, I'thou non sure if the screen protector is necessary. If something is going to shatter Gorilla Glass it is highly unlikely a plastic screen protector volition do much adept.

The plastic peel is thick enough that you really don't demand to worry nigh air bubbling and applying it to the telephone becomes more than of an issue of alignment than anything else. I found lining up the photographic camera cutting out start, then wrapping the skin around the sides of the Lumia worked best. There are two sparse strips that tin can be practical above and below the screen but I recall the Lumia 900 looks nicer without.

With regards to the top and bottom of the Lumia 900, there are 3 stickers that could be applied to one of these areas. Nonetheless, if yous apply these to the top, y'all cover upward the headphone jack. Applied to the bottom, you cover upwardly the phone's speaker. The fit of the peel is nice but I'thou a little concerned the edges of the skin may begin to peel back as you use the Lumia 900.

Could the edges of the skins peel back with use?

Once applied, I would be hesitant on re-usability. My concerns are that the agglutinative wouldn't last long and if yous're not careful in removing the BodyGuardz skin it will stretch and get useless.

All in all, the BodyGuardz Protective Skin is a nice skin but information technology won't appeal to anybody. The protective value is limited to preventing scratches to the body of the Windows Phone. Across that the BodyGuardz gives the Lumia 900 a splash of color and texture. If you lot're want is to add a little colour to your Lumia 900, I'd lean towards the Gelaskins merely for the wider selection of artwork and colors.

The BodyGuardz Protective Skin comes in black, white, and carmine colors. They are currently running $17.95 and up depending on which Windows Phone you have. Yous tin can find a list of the BodyGuardz skins here at the Windows Telephone Central Accessory Store.
