    Should I coat my cell phone?

    I finally upgrade my prehistoric Samsung Galaxy S (1) with a new LG cell phone. Should I apply a surface coating? Has anyone applied a coating to your cell phone? Would you recommend it?

    Just don`t use any slick coatings. Oh! What about a glass coating? Would that help with finger prints?

    I`ve had my IPhone 5s coated with Opti-Coat Pro for 2 years now. Works great!

    Ya I was in your same boat. I didn`t want to cough up +$500 for a smart phone and I didn`t want to go on contract either to pay off a device that 99% of the features I never use. But I found out I could buy a new prepaid phone at walmart for $119 and connect it to my current Tmobile plan (which I wanted to keep for $60/month unlimited everything). So $119 later and I have a new LG Optimum L90 which is an amazing upgrade from a first gen Samsung Galaxy. No added debt, no contract, no headache.

    Last I checked the LG optimum was $100 from T-Mobile retail price. I`m like you, don`t want the added payment for a phone. I ended up getting the ZTE ZMax from T-Mobile. Only $250 retail price

    There are a few different versions of the Optimum. I got the L90 which was $119 at Walmart. I almost got the ZTE ZMAX which was on sale (and still is right now) for $179.99 or the Alcatel One Touch for $149.99. But I don`t need a big phone.

    Awww $180 would of been awesome. I got it for $250 the week it came out. Still a steal at that price. Not complaining.

    Loving seeing these phones coming out trying to compete with the big names at drastically lower prices. I have a galaxy note 2 and I`d choose my zmax over it any day
