Hi.. Try Shop-UK on eBay.co.uk he sells a pack of 3 screen protectors for the HD for just £3.28p and free p&p if you order Mon - Fri he will send it the same day, I got mine the next day. They are a good screen protector made by Rinco, they go on easy, fit well, and leave no air bubbles. I have tried some of the more expensive one's and find these are much better. I ordered a second pack and they came just as fast... A great service.
I have a Zagg InvisibleShield on my iPad. After applying it I noticed a few little lines that look like perfectly straight scratches but I chalked it up to user error. I went ahead and ordered one for my shiny new Samsung Vibrant and then waited over a week for it to arrive. When it finally showed up I immediately installed it and it went on without a hitch (after my iPad installation I was a PRO).
I noticed immediately that the lines were there (a couple of vertical lines from top to bottom) but I went ahead and waited a little while to see if they would go away. They never went away and are particularly irritating on white backgrounds (like web pages). I decided that I couldn't handle it anymore and wrote in for a refund. Here is the reply I got:
Hello Don,
Thank you for contacting ZAGG, where we are zealous about great gadgets! My name is David and I appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
In regards to your e-mail, the nature of the invisibleSHIELD has some limitations and it seems you have located one of the few. There can, at times, be some considerably small lines that may appear like an incredibly fine hair or scratch and this is an unavoidable quality.
If you would like, we can offer you a one time courtesy replacement for your invisibleSHIELD, but we cannot guarantee that it will be free of lines.
To process your replacement request you will be asked to provide a credit or debit card....

It goes on to explain how to get the "courtesy replacement" and how to submit my credit card information so that THEY CAN CHARGE ME FOR SHIPPING! If there's a "limitations" to the product and I have "located one of the few" then they should send it to me for free. These "incredibly fine hair or scratch" lines are not acceptable on a phone where the primary selling point is the awesomely clear and 'vibrant' screen.
They did eventually get around to giving me instructions for how to get the refund so that's the route I will be taking. I have already ordered the Realook screen protector so once that gets here I will be sending the Zagg back to them.
Zagg buyer beware. You might get a good one but they "cannot guarantee that it will be free of lines".

I have Zaggs on nearly all of my devices (13, including my Vibrant) and have never once had this issue. I hope this is isolated to just you, and I don't mean that in a bad way...

It's far from just me. Google 'zagg vertical lines' and you will see that there are many people who have had the same problem.
My Realook just showed up. I ordered on Tuesday received in the mail on Thursday where it took the Zagg 9 days to show up. I took off the Zagg and put on the Realook and the difference couldn't be more "clear". If I handed someone my phone and asked if there is a screen protector on it they would say "no" (definitely not the case with the Zagg). It looks and feels like the factory glass and I LOVE IT.
I am definitely going to go with Realook from now on.
could you post a link to where to get the realooks?
Edit: See below for link.
This guy has 100% positive feedback and I see why. I ordered it Tuesday and it showed up on Thursday, from CA to TX, so I couldn't ask for faster shipping (and it's FREE).
I can't stress enough how perfect this thing is. If you want your screen to look and feel like glass this is the protector to get.
I'm having the same issue with the Zagg vertical lines. I actually thought maybe the spray messed up the AMOLED so today I took the screen protector off and the lines disappeared. I'll be contacting Zagg and looking into something else...

Just ordered one, nice that it comes in pack of 2. Otherwise, I'll have to order an extra for my wife's Vibrant, thanks for the link.
Was going to order the clearfreak, but I didn't want to deal with the wet application, then having to deal with the haze & bubbles for a few days.
that link is for the International galaxy, it has the mouse hole at the bottom.
Here is the link for the Vibrant

Just ordered a set of the real look as well...I grabbed some T-Mobile anti-smear screen protectors yesterday and hate those things. They cover only the screen itself, are matte, feel funny and the worst thing, they distort the screen in some whacked way, making the pixels almost iridescent. Needless to say, I ripped it off after an hour!
I am really looking forward to the new ones, after reading a lot of good testimonials!
Thanks for the link!

I don't know how it could get any better than the guy on Ebay. It was one of my best transactions there (most definitely the fastest shipping).

Mostly likely both are from the same seller.
i too had these lines on my cliq xt, my cliq titanium, my G1, and my laptop. i went to physical store though so they replaced them for free each time, mainly cause im a tmobile account manager with deutche telekom and they dont charge me. but they would have offered to replace them for free anyways they told me because it is a flaw in the product and it shouldnt be present in every shield
Anyone using the REALOOK, does the screen feels sticky like Zagg? I remember getting Zagg for Mytouch, and it felt sticky so I ended up buying PhantomSkinz.
The Realook is as smooth as the glass. Absolutely no friction when using Swype.

If you're going to buy a Realook, there is 10% coupon code flying around. I know it works on Amazon for sure, but dunno about ebay since you have to confirm your buy before using a coupon.
Thanks for sharing. I'm aware.
Get them while they are still free. Just pay shipping. $2.85 each.

I also submitted the news to the XDA Portal in hopes of attempting to let everyone else know aswell.

They include 2 full guards per order too, incase you mess up putting it on.
If you don't you've got a backup. Pretty cool of them. Plus, they offer lifetime replacements.

Thanks for the headsup. Have you received your order yet? Are the wraparound parts fitting well to the back of the phone?
not yet, i wasn't informed about the deal until late yesterday. Should be here hopefully by this weekend. I'll know then.
Grabbed a few for all my various phones. lol
For the Aria, I really only want the front guard. I like the feel of the soft touch., but I may use the full guard for a little while.
thanks for the heads up.
Thanks, ordered mine last night. I have a silicon case for the body, but I may still use the wrap-around.

the website is down
i was able to get on the website just now. it's slow but working. 9:35 am pdt.
they up it to 2000 now
funny thing is they charge you the shipping for each item even if the go to the same address
I would almost do this, but what is the catch? I mean they can't just have free stuff without some sort of forkover of currency, whether it be money or info. To those of you who have done it explain please to the rest of us. Otherwise I am putting this in my pyramid scheme/spam file.
Jus got my Aria and ordered one of these... In the video on the website on how to apply the guard they spray some liquid on the phone and the screen guard... Does anyone know what it is?

Just a promo they are running to get people to try their protectors. The catch is, you pay for shipping and you've got to be one of the first 2000 (originally 1000) orders.

Most likely just water or a windex type solution. Just makes it easier to install. You can slide the protecter around to get the perfect fitiment then squeegee the liquid and air bubbles out. Thats how I've always installed screen protectors.
Came in today, but havn't put them on yet. Got to leave for work. XD
thanks
for 3 bucks you cant beat trying it out. ordered mine.
well I'm disappointed. Thr skins themselves are of very good quality however some off the skins I received were perfect while others were not.
The Magic and Evo skins were perfect.
Some off them were cut so close to perfect but ever so slightly to large which made it impossible to set it correctly without trimming it back after install else it would lift when touched. Thr arias was this way.
The nexus one skin however, wasn't cut properly. You can see were it was supposed to be cut, but it wasnt cut all the way thru so there is just an outline were the cut should be.
I guess it's hit out miss with these skins. Hows everyone elses?
I ordered on Tuesday morning and still no shipping confirmation.
I ordered like 10 days ago.. still nothing
Ordered mine two weeks ago. After the first week, I hadn't received anything, so I emailed them. They promptly sent a shipping confirmation, but no tracking number. Said delivery could be up to 9 days. Still waiting. Only paid 3 dollars though, so I'm not really that frustrated yet.

A ton of people in the international version forum are having trouble with the capacitive buttons with the glas.t installed. I have one on an iphone 5 and love it but if the buttons dont work its a no go for me.

i had one with issues, according to ebay page for them in the uk, said there was issue with the first batch and they are awaiting stock
of the new improved versions.
It was up on amazon the other day. I came close to ordering it until i read about the issues with the capacitive buttons over at the international one forum.
As far as the cases goes i'm not sure, but i believe spigen recommends that u use the glass protector along with a case. At least that's what i recall reading from their website.

I used a glass protector once for my GNex and it was a bad idea. The transmittance must be poor even across that small glass layer because touch was very bad around the edges and flaky in the middle.
i think its more an issue with the low sensitivity of the capacitive buttons than the glas itself. even people using normal plastic screen protectors have said they noticed a decrease in sensitivity with the buttons.
I recently emailed them regarding their tempered glass release for the Moto X and their response was that they were currently gauging interest. So I've posted this on G+ and thought I would post here as well. If you email them your interest in their tempered glass; they have 2 kinds. They could possibly release one for our device. Email is: [email protected] if you can.
Thanks!
Mailed them :good:
Mailed em! Now I hope they will do something about AND that the product doesn't SUCK.
I had mailed them a couple nights ago as well. No response back as of yet.
I'm really hoping that they're watching how the sales of this phone is going and commit to this. Looks like an outstanding product
I know this is not necessarily identically related.. But iLoome recently responded to someone on their Facebook page that they are testing a prototype for the Moto X right now. Or at least their Screenmate version. Either way, I'd be excited if either iLoome or MIME decided to make and sell them :fingers-crossed:
Emailed them yesterday as well. Would love to get rid of this terrible Zagg protector.

Clarivue isn't even selling the XT Glass version anymore on their own website, probably for good reason. I wouldn't trust $50 to a third party on this.
Mime emailed me two days ago and said the ghost glass should be ready in the middle of January

If you don't want to wait for the MIME protector, give iBlason a try. http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Motorola-Ultra-Thin-Tempered-Protector/dp/B00E0CUP18
I am not having the sensor problems you read about. I don't know if they've fixed it, the 4.4 update fixed it, or (as someone suggested) my white-front is somehow different than it being used on the black-front.

I'm a fan. It feels like the glass on the screen. So far it hasn't accumulated any scratches. It is not a finger print magnet either, pretty easy to keep it clean. It was VERY easy to apply - I actually came away with no air bubbles to squeegee out. The edges aren't rounded like the Spigen tR series is, so you can feel a very slight edge if you run your fingers around your phone edge, but it's not irritating in any way if you swipe in from the sides. I paid $17 for it (Prime membership, free 2-day shipping) - I feel like it's an amazing product for the price, especially compared to other similar products (I know Spigen usually runs about $25-30 for their glass protectors).
You'll see a lot of the reviews on Amazon mentioning that their proximity sensor doesn't work with it on - especially noticeable if they're in a call (they'll bring their phone away from their face and the screen doesn't turn on, so they can't end the call, etc.) I didn't have any of these problems. A couple reviewers updated their review mentioning that after the 4.4 Kit Kat update, their problems went away. Some people have also said that the black fronts have the problems, where the white fronts don't. I don't know about all that - all I know is it works just fine for me, tested with many calls.
I can take some pictures this evening after work if anyone wants.
Anybody ever used the ghost glass with an otterbox defender series? I always pull the built in screen protector out of the otterbox and just put another screen protector on the phone. Just wondering if there are any fit problems with the defender and the ghost glass.
