From my experience working in the mobile sector this would be a touchy subject,the most common damage found in phones away from repair is water damage.

Phones can be sent away for repair for any fault but as soon as moisture has been detected on the indicators internally,it doesn't matter what the repair is or how it might have nothing to due with moisture ingress the warranty is still instantly void. Iphones are especially prone to this as apple has more moisture indicators than any other handsets and they rather conviently are located as close to the surface as possible by the speakers,lock screen button. If customers got this liquilpel process done in store and phones still somehow showed up as water damage on repairs there would be some fierce confrontations!

@Loubielou - Depends on what you're looking to protect your phone from. This coating is fine for water/moisture, but offers no protection against bumps, drops or scratches, so IMO this is not better than buying screen protectors or cases.

Anyone knows how this works on galaxy s3?
Just don't see how it can protect the back cover from leakage

Well, should anything happen to your phone where the device needed replacement, you'll have to buy another round of nano coating for the replacement device. There isn't a phone out there that I trust to be reliable for a long enough time where I'd feel that I got my money's worth for that extra purchase. This isn't a case you can sell to someone else when you give up the phone...

Otterbox - $35-$50
LifeProof - $80
Liquipel - Probably $75-$100

Now you're getting into the range of the cost of the deductibles you'd pay, in some instances, should you get the phone liquid damaged and need a replacement device. I just don't see this being worth it in any situation
