Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)There are 5 sides to this product: front, back, left side+bottom, right side, and top. Outside of the back which is a nice sized piece, the other sides are very small and difficult to handle, not only having to account for buttons and holes, but as well the odd ribbed texture of the edges of the phone; This of course is separate from the screen.
In the end, the product goes on fairly successfully, but with so many small pieces, and the odd texture of parts of the 8925, you end up with bubbling under the film that has lasted more than a week for me (I did watch the installation video on bodyguardz.com.)
Another issue is that the edges of the film where they meet the other film is not even and you end up changing the tactile feel of the phone insofar as feeling distinct plastic-like edges on the sides where the films meet.
Lastly, they way some of the edges just barely went over the the edge (say the front piece to the top of the phone), that they are going to be prone to being picked as they are coming in and out of your pocket, thus exposing the underside to dust and shortening the lifespan of the product sticking to the phone.
In the end, this may be a great product for another phone (like the iPhone they use in the demo) that has lots of big area, few odd areas to account for, and fewer (small) pieces, but for a phone like the 8925, they need to come out with a way to cover all the eccentricities of the device's physical layout without just giving the user a bunch of tiny pieces as a way to compensate for this problem.
They're on now and I'll keep'm on despite the bubbles, but I probably won't buy them again 'til/if there's a redesign for the 8925.
Finally, I would have given this product a 3rd star, but for the price paid, it really should have been better fitted to the 8925.
