Best Screen Protector!

If you want an awesome screen protector that has the hardness feel of the bare screen then you want this one. It's 3 for 7 bucks and it feels so much better than all those expensive Invisible Sheilds and such. Those leave a crappy feel or funky haze after they dry. This thing is so bad ass I felt I needed to let everyone in on it. I've had for a couple of months now and no scratches. I also put one on my wifes evo. Enough here's the link.

Edit- Had to order more of these for a replacement phone and found out that the protectors advertised here and sold by Efforcity are the wrong ones. You have to click the part that shows ones that are sold by other companies and you have to get them from Bargain Cell. I just got mine in finally and Bargain Cell is the only company that sells them.

Thanks. I have a Zagg InvisableShield now and I do like it, but this is cheap enough to see if it is worth having. The great thing about Zagg's screen protectors is that they are lifetime warrantied so you only have to buy 1 per device. After that just pay shipping and you get a brand new one.

I've been using MobileXS Screen Guardian Mirrored HTC EVO screen protector for about 2 months now. Feels like glass, very slick and not stick at all.
When the screen is on its really clear and when the screen is off it's almost a perfect mirror. I bought two thinking it would scratch easily so far not a single scratch. Oh... and there washable and reusable. There a little more costly at 25$ a pop, but after two months and no scratches or wear I think its a good deal.

Martin Fields. They cost a fortune but is the absolute best.

I like the one that seidio sells had mines on for about 3 months still looks invisible.
Swyped from Eva my Mynion running Myn's RLS4.95!

I've used an Invisible Shield on the last three phones I've had.
As long as you get it put on properly, they last forever.
I usually shill out the few bucks to have the guy at best buy do it since if they screw it up, they have to put a new one on.

I got the one from the OP yesterday and put it on. I like the feel of it, but it is a fingerprint and finger oil magnet. It also doesn't cover the whole screen. There are small strips on each side longways that are not covered. I liked my Zagg InvisibleShield because it didn't attract this stuff and covered the whole screen. The only thing I didn't like about Invisible is the rubbery feel of it. Good thing they have a lifetime warranty. I got a new one on the way for only the cost of shipping.

There really aren't any instructions for this one, I just received mine today. Do you use any soapy water or anything? I;m going to install it in a steamy bathroom.

I am not familiar with that one. I had one of the SGP protectors and I liked it but it scratched too easily. I use the bodyguardz. It offers the same protection as the invisible shield but I like the feel of it better. They have a dry apply version available now. I have just ordered one of the wrap sol protectors. I will let you know how it compares.
Sent from this here Evo!

I use Reallook. I had one on my vibrant and now on my evo. They are pretty cheap on amazon. It covers the whole face and is unnoticeable. Also reusable, and easy to apply

I actually bought the screen protectors listed by OP.
It was nice because they actually sent me NINE screen protectors, hah. The texture and clarity is identical to the stock glass.

im about done with screen protectors in general. today at work i got a bit of paint over spray on my screen protector "phanton skinz" so i used a bit of alcohol & nail polish removed mixed with warm water to remove it and it totally jacked the protector up. i have this horrid film on it now and im pissed. these things are suppose to be indestructible. so like an ass i ordered one more just now and after that im done with them in general. next time ill but a dry application cheapy.
i wish they made the evo with gorilla glass and i wouldn't even bother.

I use Screenpatronus... good product, good price.

Verizon Screen Protector

So I went to a Verizon store to get the gel case since I don't like the portfolio case (just too bulky for me) and of course they didn't have it in black so I decided to just pick up the 3 pack screen protector. Got back to my desk and removed the original plastic that i had kept on since last Thursday and discovered that the screen protector doesn't actually cover the entire screen, looked like crap and so I decided to go back and return it. Has anyone ordered the Zagg one yet? I have a Zagg screen protector on my Ipad and love it but want to hear some opinions before rushing in case someone has any bad feedback.

Just noticed that Phantom Skinz has their screen protector out. They have been my favorite protector for years now. Mainly cause they do not have that orange peel effect.
Only reason why i havent pulled the trigger is that I can't find a coupon code. There's almost always one available.

Thanks I'll check it out.

Have not tried the ZAGG one, I like their protectors. I have installed the Skinomi one, they are my current fav when it comes to screen protectors. Covers the screen like it should be.. I have seen friends run into your situation before with cell phones, whatever protectors they buy at the verizon stores they just dont cover the whole screen and just dont fit or look good.
Side topic - I am not a case fan cause adding size, but i like full protection from basic things, so I get screen protector, and I usually design a nice back skin... Anyone seen any skin sites that support XOOM yet?... Skinit/DecalGirl do not yet.

I'm someone who has never, ever used a screen protector on my mp3 players/phones. Can you let me know if the Zagg/Skinomi protectors:
1. Are truly invisible? You don't notice that they're on at all?
2. Significantly reduce fringerprints?
3. Make the screen less glossy at all?
4. Are easy to take on and off?
5. Are the Zagg full body ones worth it? You really can't tell it's on?

This generally applies to all screen protectors -
1. never 100% invisible but you shouldn't be able to tell from a distance there's one on. The biggest problem is "orange peel." Some manufacturers do a better job of it than others.
2. Yes, almost all of them do wonders for finger prints as well as face smudges (for phones.)
3. Again, most do make it less glossy. Some are more reflective.
4. The Zagg and Phantomskinz types are not easy to remove. They dry on to your device but will not leave a residue. Technically they say you can reattach it but I doubt it.
5. The full body's are great for protecting your device from scratches. I have found that over time dust sticks to the edges and will make it more an more obvious.
Long story short, they're great and give very good piece of mind. On the other hand, full body skins will make your device too big for things like Moto's portfolio case (educated guess but it's been that way for everything else.)

Thanks for the answers! I'm strongly considering getting one now.

I got the vzw screen protector too. I was thinking the same thing, why doesn't it cover the whole screen? Than it dawned on me. How well would the front facing camera work if it was covered? I vid chat so that made up my mind.

All of the other screen protectors have a hole cut out for the camera. The one for the OG Droid even has one cut out for the stupid LED light. lol
I don't see that as an excuse for Verizon not to cover the whole screen with their screen protector. That's a deal breaker for me. I might go with the Skinomi since it's cheaper than the Invisible Shield (Never liked Invisible Shield, anyways.)

I can't stand the Verizon scren protectors. I have a Zagg on my Droid X but I ordered a Bodyguardz protector for the Xoom. Appears to be as good or maybe slightly better than the Invisibleshield. There is a video out there. Ultimate I pad scratch test iirc.

Now that I think about it, the plastic that came with the Xoom covered the web cam and it wasn't bad. Oh well, I get a corporate discount with vzw. Posted up some so I can have extras.

I ordered this from amazon and i'm awaiting delivery of everything this week I hop this screen protector covers everything or it's going back $19.00

I got back in town to find I had a package from Bodyguardz. I got one for the Xoom and one for my Droid X, actually the Droid X was a pack of two. First time I used this brand and so far I like it better than the Zagg. Less orange peel, fit is a little better, and the price is good. I took the Invisibleshield off the X and installed the Bodyguardz on both pieces. I'll see how things go.

I've tried a few screen protectors now and I hate them all. The Gorilla Glass seems to hold its own without one at all, plus it feels much smoother when scrolling on the screen. Just try not to have piles of keys or rocks in your phone pocket and you'll be fine. I've had mine since it launched in February and have had no issues so far.

Realook by far is the best one I have tried, and I have tried many. You gain security without any drawbacks. Don't knock it till you try it. Have had this protector on my phone for several months now and several small scratched have shown up on it. It's $5.50, plastic and takes a beating so my real screen doesn't have too. (Obvious point, no one scratches their phone screen on purpose, the point of a protector is not to protect your phone from normal daily use when you are being careful, but for the times when **** just happens and there was nothing you could do about it. That's when having these things are most important / useful).

I say get a screen protector and don't leave the gorilla glass naked. I babied my phone for a week before I got anything on it... then two scratches from god knows what. Gorilla glass will NOT hold up to minute particles of nothingness in your pocket so be aware.
I personally like the marquee splash screen protectors (I think that's the name) that are on amazon. Clear, feels like the normal screen, went on fine.
I tried ghost armor at first and I hated it.. it had orange peel and dented really easily. It seemed to shrink over time, too, which is weird..

Gorilla Glass is bull**** man. I took off my old screen protector because there was a minute imperfection in it and cleaned it with a brand new lint free cloth and now there are 3 tiny scratches in the glass. I mean with the new screen protector you can't really see it, but it's such bull****.

ZAGG Invisible Shield.
Lifetime warranty FTW!

I think i order BestSkinksEver total body skin.
I had bad experience with Zagg, i just don't like it.
Thank you all

I accidentally sat on my phone wearing jeans with rivets for about 15 minutes; no scratches. I still wouldn't put it in my pocket naked though. But no protector.

Do you have it installed on your Atrix? I installed on my son's iPod touch 17 months ago and it still hasn't peeled. Then I did my Dad's iPhone 4 8 months ago and the front is still looking great. Not sure why I didn't do my Atrix yet.
Edit: I added Moto ruggedized battery cover for minimalistic grip to phone. Really like it so far. In stock at cnn.cn.

Yes that's true, you can actually call it an OP magnet but we're talking about screen protector here and I dont think there's anything else that can protect your screen but the Invisible Shield by zagg.... I have speck casing on my atrix with the invisible shield for the screen and I accidentally dropped it like 3-4 feet high on its flatscreen and not even a scratch on the screen.... my co-worker bought an atrix too and with it he also got a speck casing and one of those screen protector from at&t store, couple of days later while we were talking about our atrices/atrixes he accidentally dropped it in front of me and when he picked it up the screen was cracked! He was mad as hell because he didnt listen to me... lol
I mean the stuff they show on their demos is for real, I've used invisible shield on each of my phone for so many years now and each of them were protected by invisible shield... yes the invisible shield is a orange peel/lint magnet but you can easily wipe them off, I guess for me I'd be more concern about the protection of my phone and not the OPs

I tried an extra Skinomi protector a friend had and it developed bubbles a couple weeks after installation. Then I got a SGP Steinheil Ultra Crystal and I'm extremely happy with it. My friends who also have Atrix couldn't even tell it had a protector on. Plus it isn't a wet install and takes just a couple of minutes to put on. It's the hard plastic type and very slightly drags more than the bare screen but it's hardly noticeable, especially in comparison to the soft plastic type like Skinomi.

i got zagg just because i got tired of the fingerprints that attract to the glass. before i got it though, the screen was exposed to some harsh conditions at my job, and did not scratch or anything; so it is a tough screen

Invisible shield's original screens were pretty bad op, but I've had one on my evo for nearly a year now and it's just as good as the day I installed it.
They have a new formula that is SUPPOSED to be less op, but it's only for the iPhone right now

Your opinion on Zagg screen protectors?

So a couple of days ago in the Do you over protect? thread, I was very blasé about not using any type of screen protection and I thought I might be inviting fate so I quickly scrabbled to the Zagg Nexus page as I've heard very positive reviews about them. I paid my €24.99, sat back for a couple of days and it arrived today...
First impressions were of utter disappointment, right off the bat it feels cheap, you can't run your hands over it smoothly as it generates too much friction. Secondly I noticed that there was a huge 'L' shaped defect on the front of it.

On closer inspection I saw a score along the bottom of it as well.
I didn't fit it to the phone, obviously, and have since contacted Zagg for a full refund. I can appreciate this is a manufacturing defect but for €25 I was expecting something really special. It doesn't even look like it'll be 100% invisible as it claims, it's very bumpy.
Needless to say I won't be buying from Zagg again. I've been over to ProtectionFilms24 and bought the Vikuiti screen protector for the Nexus which is an amazing screen protector. I've had one on my HD2 and it was robust, removable and was wipe clean on both sides so you could reapply any time you wanted.
Am I being too hard on Zagg, or are they really as good as people say? I must say I can't remember the last time I opened an accessory and was so disappointed. I can't understand how people say they are so good.

it's pretty known that zagg has an orange peel feel. it actually works really well as i have one on my phone if you dont mind the orange peel feel.
looks like the L shape is just a defect and can happen to pretty much any protector.

I've used Zagg on basically all my phones. You have to give it several days to lose that 'sticky' feel, and then it is very smooth, IMO.
I recently had my Galaxy Nexus in a sports armband and the plastic stuck to the Zagg and caused an air bubble. Because of this, I removed it and much prefer the phone with no screen protector at all.

Is the colour saturation affected by the Zagg? They look and feel so 'cheap' I'm almost inclined to think so.

Odd... I had a Zagg on my Incredible for 1.5 years and it never lost the tacky feeling...or the odd semi-ripples. And it wasn't a poor install as the Zagg rep at the stand did it, and a different one said it was normal. :-/
To be fair... it did a nice job keeping it safe.
*brohoof*

No they don't seem to affect the colors on the screen. I've had one installed on several different phones and they never had the sticky feeling go away. But they do protect the screen very well.
I just installed an XOSkin protector to my Gnex and I like it a lot better than the Zagg ones.

I bought the zagg full body protector i only used the body protector and get rid of the screen protector within minutes.. truth be told a 5$ matte screen protector will look and feel better than a 25$ zagg screen protector on your screen ( just saying my opinion thou) and trust me it is a 100 times easier to install..mainly if u have no previous experience with it..

I always though their screen protector sucked. Better off with the eBay ones at least they feel smooth. And some are really clear.

+1 on the XOSKin. I wasn't sure either when my wife and I got our new Nexii, so I put a Zagg on hers right away because they had them at Best Buy, and she's clumsy and I didn't want to wait. For comparison sake, I ordered an XOSkin for mine and waited patiently for it to arrive.
I can't even tell the XOSkin is on mine, but her Zagg is so obvious with the excessive orange peel, and the way it doesn't cover the entire face of the phone causes dust and crud to build up around the edges near the front camera/earpiece. It just looks super tacky. I've asked her multiple times if I can buy her an XOSkin to replace the Zagg, but she doesn't seem to mind it.

Well Zagg have a 45 day no quibble returns policy, I emailed them earlier I'm just waiting on a reply it's defective so hopefully it'll be hassel free getting my Pennies back. I'll stick with what I know, the 3M Vikuiti it's a fantastic protector.

I got this orange crap effect with Zagg too, hated it.
Getting an XO Skins screen protector instead, they advertise no orange peel which everyone says is true.

I've always used Zagg screen protectors. They're far from "invisible" (soon to hopefully be fixed with the expansion of their new Zagg HD line.)
They do suffer slightly from a slight tacky feeling. The best way I've found to fix that is regularly (once a day or so.) wipe your screen down with a phone wipe. Preferably a high percentage Isopropyl Alch. wipe. After a week or so the tack feeling is completely gone and the protector is still just un-scratchable as it's ever been.
I've never had any issues at all. Granted I put them on all day long for my customers (US Cellular Rep). I've gotten very skilled at application of these suckers.

Horrible, horrible things. Resistive to touch and the orange peel effect distorts the screen slightly. I had one on my HTC Sensation and took it off within days.

Terrible
When I first bought my htc desire I ordered the zagg screen protector, it looked horrible and there is so much friction that it just doesn't feel natural at all.
It was also far from invisible... so no I don't think you were being too harsh on Zagg!

Hate it
I am active so I like to use an armband with my phone. The screen protector sticks to the clear plastic of ANY armband...which pretty much destroys the screen protector and the armband. It is a problem that Zagg knows of, but they haven't bothered to come up with a solution.
I have used other screen protectors that do not suffer this problem with my armbands.

Zagg works well if installed correctly. Just blows if you get lint or dust under it. When installing .

almost bought the zagg. thankfully i read this post before

I would rather stick a piece for tyre to screen than have to use Zagg again

I haven't used a zagg on my gnex but I have tried it on other devices and installed on a couple of friends devices.
In my opinion the shields for the back is ok if you want a little extra grip and for that very reason I will never use one for my screen again. To sticky for my taste.

My opinion on Zagg shield is that they are difficult to put on the screen (atleast for me) but once it is on there pure magic! after you give it a week to settle in, and it loses that sticky orange peel feeling it is great! and your phone just feels safer

im honestly not certain how some people can be having so many problems.
(im not saying that there can't be...)
I have the Zagg HD with a case on my phone and it covers pretty much everything that I could want, its nice and clear, it's stayed on well, it feels way nicer than the old Zagg screen protectors ( you can still feel it) but my finger glides very nicely on it, it cleans off well.
the only problem I've heard about it that people dont like is that it dents easily ( I haven't managed to dent it yet except for while I was applying it.
people are saying the dents don't go away....and after I dented mine I was worried that would be the case for me too, but sure enough, 2 days later, I noticed the dents were gone.
Now...I got mine for 50% off ($10) would I pay $20? eh......yeah...but I might investigate some other options first.
now...as far as wrecking the phone...nah, be careful don't get a ton of solution in any of the holes, and make sure you have the battery out when you do it. I'd also leave the battery out for a few hours if you really want to be careful but I tossed mine back in almost immediately.

There are many peoole who are unhappy with this zagg after googling. Most of the review are only half good. I think I will skip this. And get the curved spigen

Damn that looks bad. Mine was just like yours but not as bad. I finally went with a spg ultra clear and didn't have a problem with it. Feels and looks like glass. Zagg's are not the greatest. I will never use a Zagg again.

It just got worse and worse and worse, I couldn't bear it. They then want to charge you for shipping and handling to get it replaced, which is AFTER you send it back. It's so stupid. It's not just phones either, I had a zagg on my iPad 2 a few years back that did the same. I got it for the S3 because I assumed they would realize their stupidity. Oh well.
Where did you get yours? Link please .
I ordered the Spectre glass, hopefully that does the job.

hmm someone has to post their screens of these other protectors people have been mentioning.
Ram, how long have you been using that screen protector? I've had mine for about 3 months now.. and it has maybe one or two small marks similar to yours. You seem to be making very good use of the screen protector lol.

That's exactly how my first replacement looked like after two weeks. I'm on my third and even though it's better then the previous two I had it still has two marks that won't get away and I can't stand the rubber feel.

Zagg is crap like most people know. I had one on my old GNex and it felt like crap and dented really easily. So I got Skinomi.
If you want a good wet apply screen protector then Skinomi is the one. Little to no orange peel, and doesn't have that rubbery feeling. xoskins is also good but it's more rubbery. Free shipping too for US and Canada.

Thats about what mine looks like too. Zagg HD sucks.

This is what happened to my phone when i tried to use zagg.

Wow HanMan that looks horrible. I've had Zagg covers in the past but I've never seen such denting. I've tried the cheap screen protectors available on auction websites for a few dollars and overall they aren't horrible and offer at least some protection. Much better than having a screen that looks as bad as what you are observing.

They aren't the best available anymore, but they get the job done when applied correctly. I have them installed on all my devices.
