I was looking at the Sheinheil full body shield. From their web site it appears to be of the military grade stuff that everybody else uses. I also noticed that they don't use liquid to apply it. It seems similar to the dry apply that bodyguardz now has available. I wanted to know if anybody is using the the full body shield did it make the phone feel too slick in your hand?
the screen is a hard plastic but yeah the full looks like the Zagg
not sure cause i have only used the screen protectors.. both are good.
to be honest. dont waste your money on the full.... from what i have seen when i got a full kit for my TP2 the sides are always a pain to install and the back can be replaced easy, its just a cover.
i have a sedio active and the rugged... both are good and i changed them from time to time...
the actice doesnt add to much bulk to the phone and i can use it with the active holster...
the otter box one looks good too but no holster.
Yep I am only going to get the screen protector since I will have an extended battery. I may go ahead and order the bodyguardz dry apply and try it. I have liked the previous bodyguardz products.

I love my steinheil. It is smooth, not all textured, and almost invisible... Install was a breeze, too.
Same Here, I like the hard screen on the front of the phone, but I used the back piece for awhile and didnt like it, its seems like it didnt cover the whole back and I felt it on the edges.
The other pieces were too complicated (for me atleast) to put on so I skipped it all together.
Do you know if you can still put the innocase on with this screen protector on or will it cause the screen protector to come off?

I'm sure you can fit the phone with the full body shield into a seidio case.... the more you take the phone out of the innocase the more chance you have of the full body shield peeling off.

if you are using the innocase i wouldnt worry about the full kit.. i have used both the anti-fingerprint and now the clear and both are great..
i have the sedio rugged which uses the innocase and i have no problems.. the only thing i would suggest is to be careful when you slide each piece of the case cause you can rub against the protector.. you kinda have to push each piece up a little to go over the protector.. .not sure if that makes sense but im sure you will notice it when you put it on.
i have tried all kinda of protectors and this IMO is one of the best... Clarivue is on the top too but i only tried the privacy...
i will use only those 2 endless i run into something better.
I got my SGP protectors in today. It was easy to install and it does look clear. I am waiting to see if I should be concerned about the bottom corners(the last part that touched the screen). There is air under each corner and I can push it out but after the pressure is gone, the air comes back. As long as it doesn't peel it isn't in the way.
Also I forgot to ask. How do you clean it off? Can you use a glass cleaner or maybe the solution that came with my bodyguardz protector for my hero?

the corners can do that a little bit but it depends how well you cleaned the screen before you put it on... just keep adding pressure to the outside... pushing the air out... mine is perfect.
i just use my tshirt to clean it.. nothing else.
I haven't heard back from SGP yet but this appears to be the same "self-healing" military grade material that is used by the makers of other shields. I did contact NLU and they said the bodyguardz dry apply is the same material so I am betting this is as well.

I believe the directions state a damp cloth. Seems to work well for me. The protector is not glass, just clear like glass.

When I used to have my touch I ALWAYS had a film protector on it.. It was plastic after all..
This EVO I have has a glass screen and from what I have seen its pretty damn hard to scratch it.. IT TAKES ALOT!! to scratch it
I got the commuter case but did not put the shield on it..
Do you guys use it? do you like it/recommend it?
Also if so, is there are technique to putting it on?
THANKS!!
BTW I love this case, But sadly I ordered an extended battery for it so I won't be using it all the time..
I installed it, haven't really noticed a difference in screen responsiveness, plus it's a clear protector, and not textured like a Zagg skin for example.

you got no air bubbles? I mean its almost impossible to get them to install PERFECT.. Its usually always a little off on some corner.. What about you?
I actually think it is the best dry install screen protector there is. It really feels like there isn't one on there at all, and because it is so rigid it is also much easier to install. If you take the time to do it right, it IS possible to get it perfect, with no air bubbles at all.
I have an Otterbox Defender for my Atrix along with a full body protective covering from Clear-Coat Scratch protection. My question is, for those of you guys with similar screen protectors, how do you get rid of the bubbles in the screen protector in the Otterbox? I also intend on keeping the clear-coat screen protector as a second means of protection so please do not tell me to simply remove it, thanks! Every time I play with my phone I try to squeegee the bubbles out with my fingers and a cloth but they always come back.
Someone told me baby powder but I didn't take them serious. Any and all means of help are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
i have the otterbox defender but i don't have a second screen protector. the defender's screen protector adheres well with the atrix screen and i've never had bubbling issues. The supplied protector with the defender i guess is more than enough considering that the phone already comes with corning's gorilla glass.
The problem I had with the otterbox is that it aligns up with the screen edge, not the actual edge of the "touch sensitive" area.
Anyone having trouble with a rainbow effect on the screen protector? I have an otterbox defender, but was only able to stand it for about 2 hours before just taking the phone out of it and going caseless. Hopefully amazon will take it back.
It feels like a really sturdy case, but it seems like it's more for women or guys with a man-purse. There is just no way to keep it in a pocket without it being uncomfortable and inevitably covered in pocket fuzz when you finally manage to pull it out.
As a side-note, the Incipio Feather case is fantastic for someone just looking for scratch protection without losing the slim factor of the phone.

**** it, I took off the screen protector and it looks great now. Haha, that was dumb.. I guess this post can be deleted since it has no use anymore.

The rainbow effect is a common issue with otterbox cases. There are a couple of ways to fix it, one being baby powder. Do a Google search. There are lots of instructions and some videos on YouTube. Search for iPhone and otterbox.

i have a screen protector on mine and i removed the one that came with it coz i dont like how it looks....
I usually spray my screen protects with a light coat of water, or if I don't have a sprayer, I wash the screen protector off. The water makes getting rid of air bubbles easy. Just make sure your not squeegeeing into the speaker or mic.

Hey guys after having some bad luck with the wet screen protectors I am looking for the best dry screen protector to get. Anyone have any ideas? One that would prevent fingerprints would be the best. I have a GSM nexus

Sgp Steinheil Ultra Oleophobic is dry one.
Sgp Steinheil Flex is wet
Also look into Boxwave.
The Steinheil Ultra Oleo isnt edge to edge....the Boxwave says it is but I read of a couple people having problems getting it to stick on the outer edges of the screen. Boxwave support says after a few days it should conform and stick just fine.
Honestly, the ones from VZW arent bad at all ... no orange peel, little to no added "drag" on your fingers, and covers all but a very tiny edge around the entire glass (may actually be good if you run a case)
The ones at Verizon suck IMHO. I picked up a 3 pack for my girlfriends GN and the first one the clerk put on and had a fiber under it. So when I got home I took that one off and put on another. Well that one had a fiber in it too. The third one worked ok but I was disappointed I had to use 3 of them to get it right because they came with fibers in them.

I highly doubt they had fibers in them straight from the box ... this is why everyone recommends doing the install in the bathroom after you have steamed it up with the shower to knock the dust out of the air.
Please don't throw away the screen protector just because of a piece of fiber/lint underneath of it. Just juse a piece of tape and stick it to the outer side of the screen protector to "peel" that part up, and then use another piece of tape to "pull" that lint out.
I still like the Verizon "clear" screen protector.

Well considering the clerk did one at the Verizon store and a fiber was on it and I did one at my house on my dinning room table and had one. I can only guess they were there from the factory. Same white fiber on both. And both times the phone was wiped down with a clothe and then used canned air to blow it off. Nothing was on the screen before I tried to put the protector off.

The phone can be spotless -- its the dust in the air that ends up sticking to the protector before you get it seated on the glass

I have always used Boxwave for my previous phones. I just installed the Boxwave for GN, and I must say I am disappointed. Reaches further to the edges than the Verizon clear, but as stated above, the edges do not stick. It has only been one day, but it doesn't seem like they are going to magically stick in a few days. We shall see.

I'm reading on amazon that this one covers the FFC...does this make any noticeable difference?
The guy who makes Diztronic TPU cases sends a screen protector with his cases. They are great! Cover edge to edge in all directions. Better than verizon ones but still susceptable to fingerprints and grease, not oleo-phobic.
also.. at the edges, since the glass is curved down, it doesn't contact. not a big deal for me. i have a case.
Yeah Verizon NON-matte ones are best. I removed dust with the tape trick. These are static cling so u can pull it off and clean it up and stick it. Once its on its on there good. I can only tell around the ffc that there is a protector. The gel case I got covers the gaps perfectly if u align the screen protector on right. All accessories free with my Microsoft discount and these are the best accessories imo

No, not at all. (unless you have oil on the screen protector, but then you can just wipe it)
The standard crystal screen protectors that are all over ebay for around 8 for $3.50

Had a boxwave the edges did not stick as others have said replaced with sgp oleophobic it is better
Well I decided to get the newest Diztronic TPU rev 3 case and it's pretty nice but the screen protector that came with it is complete dog****. Attracts a TON of lint, had lots of bubbles under the screen despite putting it on quickly in a steamy room, doesn't contact the screen at the top OR the bottom and leaves smudges all over it. Worst screen protector ever.
I tried this out and LOVE it (as well as the price). It's strong, goes on clear, and edge to edge without bubbling. Definitely worth trying out for the cost.

I have been wanting to get a Zagg HD protector but it appears they only make a full screen coverage version which won't work with most TPU cases. I don't want to give up my Diztronic case so I'm looking for a similar wet application screen protector that will work. Ideally, I'd like it to have very minimal orange peal like the Zagg HD one does.
Any recommendations?

+1 I also have a diztronic case which I like because it keeps the slimness, but at the same time I'd like for the full screen protector to not have its edges lifted (looking at you zagg HD)
I have the ZAGG HD and love it.
i got one for free from bestbuy and they installed it as well (came with my phone) - i let it sit for 2 days and when i put my "PT" case on it came off =(
the PT case is two pieces top and bottom, it covers up the entire back and the front bezel.
bestbuy replaced the screen protector and i wanted 2 days again, this time however, when i put the case on i pressed DOWN on the phone while sliding it in the case - to put preasure on the bottom/back of the case and less preassure on the screen.
nnot sure if i explained that correctly, but now i am able to take the case on/off at will without getting in the way of the ZAGG HD
it takes a little longer, but works perfectly

I just got the Best Skins Ever "Version 2", which has reduced orange peel and a better feel. It's about $6, and is probably the best skin I've ever used, normally I hate them all. The holes are individually cut out, no U-channels like the Zagg HD. Feels like glass, nice and slick from day 1.
I have an Armorsuit Military Shield and have never had any problems with it.
Based on your description you appear to be looking for something along the lines of Zagg's "case friendly" screen protector for the IPhone. My solution? Simply shaving the sides and top/bottom of a full sized protector. A scissor is largely ineffective because of the difficultly in cutting straight. I solved this by using an old fashioned paper trimmer. Requires a very sharp blade. Can also be accomplished with a straight edge like a ruler and a very sharp razor blade. Cut to size and apply. The "edge" is virtually impossible to see. If cut properly, it actually goes right to the edge of the case itself. I practiced bit on a few excess pieces I had.

Thanks for getting back on track. This may be the way I go with it. At least until Zagg comes out with a case fit version of their HD protector for this phone. I'm tempted to just try one with the Diztronic case and let it fully dry for a few days at home before carefully trying to get the case on. But I highly doubt that is going to work.
I noticed Zagg has a "Case Friendly Screen Coverage" for the S3 for $14.99:

Nice find. Looks like it's the non HD version though, which means more orange peel. Hopefully they will come out with the HD version soon.

Thanks guys!
Just checked their website, looks pretty good. I'd definitely refer my friends to it.
I like to use the spigen clear glass screens but they are very hard to get on perfectly.
Can you use spray with these or can anyone recommend another brand?

Anyway post your thoughts about this new one when you can.
you can use a spray with any of the rubbery ones, the hard plastic/matte ones do not use liquid afaik

I am the worlds worst at putting on screen protectors. The best thing I found for putting them on is turning on your shower full blast hot and waiting till the room gets really steamy. That's how I put on my spigen (dry install) and it turned out perfect. I've also used xo skins (wet install) on my old gnex and had good luck with them.

Minus the Spigen bubble issue, I've applied all my glass protectors with left over solution from Zagg. After a day or so the liquid goes away. It doesn't hurt it IMHO. I'm pretty OCD about my screen protectors.
If you decide to go with a different type I'd suggest one of the plasticy ones just because you can remove dust easily using a piece of scotch tape. iSmooth gives you scotch tape like dust removers. Most of the people in my office come to me to apply screen protectors...lol
When I say plasticy ones I'm referring to anything that is rigid. The problem with Skinomi and Zagg like protectors is the scotch tape method doesn't work and they are much harder to get aligned. the upside to them is that they don't scratch like the rigid ones.
I think I am the only one that uses the wet method to install dry screen protectors. I used the wet method to install the spigen dry protectors, since they are the "static cling" type and not adhesive as with many other dry protectors. I normally install them in a steamed bathroom, and if i get any lint stuck on the screen i take it off them phone and rinse it under water then try again.
I didn't order the spigen glass protector due to people having bubble problems, but when the new revised version is out i'll buy it and also try installing it wet.

The Skinomi protector came with spray, microfiber cloth, and a rubber wedge for squeegeeing out the excess spray solution and air bubbles
It does have an orange peel effect, but I can really only tell when the screen is off and/or outside light hits the screen at a perfect angle. My personal opinion is that its effect on screen quality is negligible
It does have a more rubbery feel than a bare screen, however that's because it should "self-heal" from light scratches/abrasions
Should you go the spray route for the first time, definitely look up some how-to-apply videos. I want to add that the protector on my g-nex lasted the entire lifetime of the phone (~2 yrs) without a problem, which hasn't been my experience with most traditional protectors. That's the main reason I put it on my N5
