Anyone use Verizon's Anti-Glare Display Protectors?

http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&accessoryId=46245
Anyone used this? Does it work to hide your screen from onlookers? Does it degrade the screen quality when viewed straight on?
Thanks for any input!

I bought it because the bodyguardz kiosk did not have the DX in stock yet. The Verizon screen doesnt cover the entire glass top. It only covers where the picture is actually displayed. It's not a security screen so it doesn't block onlookers. The anti-glare doesnt really work that well and I can't really tell you want the screen looked like before since I put it on immediately after receiving my phone. The screen is more of a plastic protector where as bodyguardz is more of a softer film. I know Verizon's screen protectors can get scratched but bodyguardz will leave imprints if you push a nail or key into it. It's really personal choice on what kind of screen protector you like but if you have a bodyguardz kiosk they will replace it on the spot for you since it is a lifetime warranty.

it doesn't hide your screen from onlookers, its just a typical screen protector to protect the screen from unwanted scratches, etc, once you place it on tho, scrolls not as fluid as without the screen protector on.

I have the Verizon ones on my phone and they suck.
They make that beautiful screen look like crap, they attracked more fingerprints than the screen itself and they only protect part of the screen.
As soon as I can get some bodyguardz or any of the other manufacturers brands I'm going to get one and replace it.

The Verizon screen protectors are terrible to say the least. The seriously impact image quality.

I have the Verizon one on and I doesn't seem to mess up the image up at all like the others are saying.

I'm using one, It doesn't seem it impact the image quality for me.
I've ordered a SGP Ultra Crystal Steinheil Film simply because it covers all of the glass, where the Verizon covers the area that you interact with, but leaves the "Motorola" at the top and the "Verizon" at the bottom uncovered.

I didn't buy the verizon one because I know someone that bought it for their HTC Incredible and it was pretty bad. It really took away from the nice screen and was quite a fingerprint magnet. I referred her to the Zagg screens and she couldn't believe the difference.
My Zagg screen should be in any day now...

I bought a pack of them but did not install them right away, they helped a lot for glare when using the car dock during the day and did not seem to really impair the screen visibility.

Bought and installed. Definitely helps with glare but does seem to degrade clarity a bit. As for tactile feel I would say it's better than glass alone. I find the glass to b a major fingerprint attractor. But I will probably replace with something better but what?

Verizon one is junk. Just installed it tonight and a complete waste of money. It distorted the screen a significant amount. Unacceptable to me. I usually use a piece of vinyl window covering which is quite transparent but you have to cut it to size. Lasts forever though.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

Agreed, very distorted. Would prefer them to just be clear. I like the feeling of them though, on the plus side.

They do kinda suck, but work good until you get better protectors
And also as emergency protectors in-case your nice one gets damaged
I also got the 3 pack for only $7 so I'm not complaining

I have one on mine. Was using the phone without the screen protector for a few days then put one on. The texture for me is better, my finger can glide easier especially when using swype. Like someone else said, it does cut down the glare while in the car do dock. The clarity does degrade a little, but it's not horrible.

Why are people using protectors? This thing has gorilla glass...?

I got the invisiskin thing from bestbuy. I had seen old demos from other devices, looked pretty indestructible. I bought one and am still planning to put it on. But I hate the plasticy feeling you can get. Or the color prisming I was getting with the anti glare.
Is gorilla glass really that good? I stopped using cases, I actually enjoy looking at the phone I bought. My DX is backordered and I just peeled off my ipod anti-glare screen from my Eris. A test until the new one comes. Tapping out this post has been pleasant enough.

I love the screen protector from verizon! My wife had it on her iPhone and i was jelouse, now i upgraded both of us to Droid X and i got her the glossy one and i have the smooth one from verizon. It just makes sliding accross the screen so much smoother.

The verizon one is garbage
it is frosty looking and it DOES NOT COVER THE WHOLE SCREEN AREA
If you want the crystal clear smooth one or the more frosty style fingerprint proof one get these:

Because gorilla glass does not mean unscratchable.

i use the verizon ones and yes they distort screen image quality a little but the matte finish is smooth and barely any glare.

LOVE my $1 XtremeGUARD screen protector!

Got this screen protector from Amazon for $1. Ordered Friday, got today. Not bad! Anyways, it was $1! I had a little squirt bottle of solution from a Zagg I had on an iphone and used it to apply. Went on great, feels thick but not annoying thick and sticky like a Zagg. After the solution dried, it looks great. Anyways, did I mention it was $1?!
http://www.amazon.com/XtremeGUARD©-...FR0Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1302064917&sr=8-1

does it have those really annoying lines when viewing a white screen? my Zagg does that and it's really annoying

I don't see any when looking at white on here... just the usual **** from the screen itself
XDA: 12 HELPFUL PEOPLE AND 1584641849682579451694.5 complaining, ignoramous pansies.

Awesome thanks for that, i wanted to replace my zagg anyways

Extreme Guards are nice
This is a great find IMO. I've been using this specific screen protector since the 2nd or 3rd month of using my phone. I got mine off ebay and thought i got a good deal at the time but it wasn't $1 + FREE SHIPPING!!
I use cases everyday went from generic to BodyGlove to currently Otterbox and the screen protector has held up well with only minor smudges/indents(i put one on my sisters vibrant at the same time, she does not use casses everyday and you can tell cuz the screen protector has smudges all over it LOL). This is my first "wet" screen protector and all in all im half/half on it.
PROs -
- REALLY love the clear crisp look. This thing really lets the phones awesome screen show off to its full ability!
CONs -
- getting water around my phone makes me scared!
- a little more difficult to install than normal "dry" type screen protectors
- the smudges/indents are permanent its almost like "wet" protectors are thinner and softer
thanks again for this awesome find!

Wow thanks for 1$ i guess ill try it

I went ahead and picked up 3 of these (just in case I messed up the install). Grand total of $3, with free shipping. They came in the mail within 2 days, not too bad.
Anyways, I had the Tmobile branded screen protector on my Vibrant since the day I bought it (and having used the 2nd to replace the first when it wore out). When I took the old protector off, I was blown away by the quality of the phone display. I forgot how awesome it was since I got used to using the screen protector. I carefully put one of these on it, and I have to say that there are no bubbles, and the screen maintains the same quality as if there was no cover on it at all. This protector blows the tmobile branded version away and it also covers the "buttons" at the bottom of the phone, which were left uncovered by the old protector.
Having now tried these out, they are WELL WORTH the price.
You can't beat $1, and they work well and look very nice. You almost can't even tell there is one on the phone.
Anyways, that's my 2 cents, and I'll recommend these to anyone that asks.

I also have this screen protector, and it's realy great !

I bought this too and it was a horrible screen protector.

I bought one of these based on the reviews, and so far I'm disappointed. There appear to be multicolor streaks all over the screen when it's turned on, as if there is grease all over it, especially when the screen is white. Anyone else have this happen or have a solution for it? This makes my screen look horrible.

It tends to start out like that, but clears up as the moisture between it and the screen evaporates.
I have applied 2 of these now and have had no issues whatsoever with them.

True but compared to my old zagg this one looks still greesy and scratches can be seen D:

Hey guys, I recently bought one of these off Amazon when I ordered my Otterbox case, it was only $2 so I figured I had nothing to lose. Here's my take on it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19109961#post19109961

For those of you complaining, you probably just didn't install it right. I've had mine for a long time and I love it to pieces. The screen is bright, clear and unscratched. It doesn't get in the way of using the touch screen either.

Zagg InvisibleShield for EVO

So I bought the InvisibleShield for my EVO (I'm guessing about a month and a half ago) and it get's realllllyyyyyy dirty looking with usage. I'm also not too fond of the way sliding my fingers over the screen feels, I think it's taking away from the touch screen experience of the phone? Is there any way to clean it so that it looks like a regular screen again and not some clouded screen protector? I almost want to take it off but I paid 15 bucks for it and that would go down the drain

They will get brownish over time man. I thought zagg was the bees knees but they're really not. I ended up going through 2 of them both full body shields I spend about 27 bucks a piece on lol. First one I peeled off because I got anoyed just like you are, second one I pulled because the touchscreen just wasn't smooth anymore. What a waste of money right? I don't like that the zagg makes the screen less responsive so I've learned to rock a naked screen. No case no protection just bare naked phone. But you're correct I definitely agree on it making screen less responsive. There is no way to clean it or at least I don't think so. I will never use one again.

Just get rid of it. I've rocked my evo sans screen protector for since December and I've not no scratches on it.

I bought one and returned it the same day after install it. I thought it was crap. It made the screen feel rubbery.
I just have a Seidio case on it and that's it. Not a single scratch since release day.

Yeah I feel like I'm going to have to ditch it here pretty soon. I thought this protector was the best. It may be the best at protecting the screen but it ruins the experience of the phone.

I know I said I would never buy again; well I bought 1 2 weeks ago for my MacBook pro (80 bucks full body) and its already black/brown. I definitely will never buy zagg again lol. The evos screen is coated so it wont scratch just sitting in your pocket. It will take alot to scratch it. Naked screen is the best.

I have thought about taking mine off....only have screen but I am just too paranoid about the screen

Well I bought my evo 2 days after it came out, and up until 2 months ago, I never used a screen protector and the screen never had one scratch on it (and I kept it in my pocket with nothing else in the pocket.) My original screen suffered from the "B" spot and I eventually got a Sprint repair store to replace it for me (after trying 2 other Sprint repair stores.) Since I received a brand new screen from HTC I wanted to make sure it was protected, but judging by what others are saying now, it seems like I don't even need a screen protector.

sounds like you got some greasy @$$ hands. stop eating chicken and such.
EDIT:: I have had a screen protector on my phone for 335 days. The first one I had ended up folding up in a corner due to my own behavior, and I got one the same day bc of how clean my phone looked when I took the original invisible shield off. (i showed no mercy on my phone, it has been dropped, put in back pocket and sat on, put in the same pockey as keys/needles (j/k), and even tested the effectivness of it on the old protector (keys to the screen like a b!t(h)

It's not turning brown or anything, its just blurry and it gets dirt sports on it and then I have to rub really hard to get them out, it just looks dirty overall, like spots all over it. And on a white screen you can see all the streaks from where I slide my finger to unlock it, scroll, etc.

I had a Zagg also but didn't like it for the same reasons as you. I now use an HTC screen protector I got at Radio Shack. Its a little pricey but its still in almost new condition and I do dusty construction work for a living. ( I use it in conjunction with a seidio ext. rugged).

I just did the same thing with my xoom. I had the thing on there for less than 24 hours, just couldn't stand it
Zagg shields are tough as **** but they take too much away from the experience of using the device. And now that OEMs are making screens out of magic scratch proof glass the shields are unnecessary, imo.

I actually took mine off and the screen feels wonderful....just hope I don't scratch it...even if I do I have a backup and insurance I guess

All of those type of protectors will feel different than the screen. The best one I have used was the bodyguardz. It didn't have the orange peel feel to it. And they have them in dry apply now so no more liquid on your phone.

Ghost armor has been pretty good actually. It's smooth and all. The fingerprints don't come off as easy as when I has no protector. It also scratches easy (but they go away). I had a couple of small scratches here and there on my screen, it filled them in, can't see any of them. The shield is getting kind of gunky around the edges though.
Kind of a toss up...I think I like the idea of applying a Ghost Shield after you've dinged up your screen from mishandling it in your pocket for 5-6 months. Makes it look cleaner, and doesn't feel too bad IMHO.

Warning about ATT's new screen protector for captivate...it SUCKS!!

So when I bought my captivate I bought the ATT screen protector and it was very nice.
If I were to leave a mark due to hitting with my nail on the screen, the mark will slowly disappear back to normal. It was also full size all the way to the home button etc.
After many months I decided to replace it as it was coming off on the sides but the quality was still great.
Well, first red flag was that the new version is no longer full size. Only covers to the lower part of the actual display area but I was assured that it was the same material...
Yeah, same material my A$$! That thing sucks...it became a mess of horrible screen patterns like I was looking at some Nasa Mars photos or something.
I took it back and the bastards wanted to charge me $5 bucks to replace it again!
I express my deepest feeling in some not very forum appropiate wording and left.
Bought an invisi shield even though opinions are mixed about it and so far I love it.
Screen looks perfect with non of the horrible patterns I was getting with the ATT ****.
Just a warning.
Regards

Yeah, I'm using a invisishield
Had one since day one of phone purchase. No complaints.
Love my otterbox too

that sucks I was thinking of getting one, thanks for the heads up.

If you can find the original one (full lenght) you should be fine but if it is the small one run away from it. I couldnt take that more than a week.

The invisi-sheild is pretty good I had one and loved it, but I just replaced it with the ATT screen shield last week and mine comes all the way down and covers my buttons and is actually a pretty decent protector. Maybe they were out of stock and gave you one that 'works' for your phone. The rep did bring me the wrong one initially....

That's not good. I HATED my InisiSheild. The ATT screen protector was the only screen protector I've been able to stand.
Good thing I have two spares...

Agree on the Zagg. It was absolutely terrible, but it was free, so I can't really complain. Anyway, I gave up on screen protectors altogether.

Screen protector? What's that? Lol. Seriously, I've never used one and I've dropped my phone face down on both gravel and pavement. My screen still looks brand new. I think screen protectors on these phones are just a waste of money, and I hate the idea of having another layer to distort the image.

I ran without a screen protector... Right up until I picked up gash in the upper right corner of my screen.
All it takes is one grain of sand.
The old AT&T screen protectors are the best compromise I've found between the crystal clarity of running naked, and having at least some protection.

This.
I don't know how you people keep saying after months of screen protectorless use, your phone looks brand new.
I went protectorless for a couple months, and after that short a period of time I picked up a few noticeable scratches. They aren't deep enough to be seen in use, but they are there.
I'll keep my screen protectors. Can't really tell the difference anyway.

You agree with a post that is stating the opposite of what you are saying? That is cool LOL

If you want the original At&t protectors, search for the brand Real Look. One of my packs from At&t had the Real Look branding on the stuff inside the pack. I also suggested Real Look to a buddy with an iPhone 4, and when he got his, it's the same great material.
I will never use another brand of screen protector as long as Real Look makes one for my phone.

I don't know if I just got a bad batch, but the ones I got from AT&T a few months ago suck. Really rainbow...y and they have the annoying hole for the proximity and light sensor.

Had my captivate since July of last year, 3 days before release. Never used a screen protector and when I wipe it off it looks like I just peeled the DONT TXT AND DRIVE thingy off. Guess I'm just lucky.

These are the Real Look screen protectors. I find that the rainbow effect disappears when the screen is on, so that is really not an issue. Also, I don't really think the cutout for the proximity sensor is that bad, it's a really small area that is barely noticeable, and I'm sure probably is there for a reason.
To me, the Real Look screen protectors have an unbeatable finish for keeping clean, smooth, and even scratch free. If you like the natural feel of gorilla glass, give them a shot, because these really do feel like the gorilla glass when they are clean. IMHO, they have the best scratch resistance of any crystal screen protector that I have ever used on any device. In the past I used matte screen protectors because I always hated scratches in glossy ones, but these have solved that problem.
I'm not trying to flame, I just think it's a bit unfair to be that nitpicky about a great product. Did you notice any of the positive qualities of these?

I dont know what brand it is but i use the screen protector that came with my otterbox. didnt use on on my first captivate, could definitely see some marks on screen, no problems with one in place.

I have also used Realook brand protectors. I thought they worked really well. The only reason you could tell I was using one was the horrible job I did installing it. They say they are washable and reusable, but after trading in my phone for a warranty issue I decided not to even try to reuse it. I just ordered a new one. $10 for 2 of em. I almost wasn't going to use one and I read a post from someone who says that he can see a bunch of microscopic scratches on the glass from keeping it in his pocket. The way I see it, I would rather cover it and not take any chances.

Go to best buy they have a military grade polyurethane they wrap around your phone it is the best screen protector phone protector ever

Screen protectors

I am thinking of getting a screen protector for my moto g. I know it has gorilla glass 3, but i hate scratches on the screen so much I am still considering giving it a bit more protection. Had a look on amazon, not a lot of choices. In fact this seems to be the only good one. It has no reviews, so thought i'd share it here and get some opinions.
PS: Am i being too weird? Is the screen already safe enough? let me know
Clear protector: link
Antireflex protector: link

It will be my first smart phone, so I got the flip case/cover for the all around protection, but yeah, if you just want it for the screen, I guess it's an OK choice. Though I've read some people don't like the feel of those protectors.

My Dad has a Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman and it just has a "Scratch-resistant glass" and it has no protection at all it has been 2 years but there is not even a single scratch on it and I know how rough he uses the phone so there is no need for extra protection

Watch the scratch test video! They used even a knife but the screen was like new

I am just a bit of a freak when it comes to scratch on glass
I went to the beach with my Samsung S4 and it got scratched, but luckily I did have a screen protector on. So yes gorrila glass protects against knifes but it won't protect it from sand
@theArchitektas
Where did you get flip case from? Pretty sure they are not selling them yet

I have the atFolix ones on order from Amazon; were dispatched last week but still waiting. I'm the same, I always put screen protectors on my phones; the only exception is my Lumia 920 as it has a curved screen and I couldn't find a decent one to apply (even the official one was no good)!

I guess I didn't put it clear. I pre-ordered it from Amazon UK, haven't received yet.

If anyone can find a glass screen protector for the Moto G please let us know. So far I haven't found a glass one anywhere. I can't stand the plastic ones, but the glass ones (like the ones made by SPIGEN) fell just like the original screen.

didn't find one glass screen protector for MOTO G...if someone has found it then do share the link...desperately want one to gift to my friend on Christmas......
Thanks in advance.....

Did anyone find one in Mexico City?

I can strongly confirm. When I had mine I scoured the interwebs looking for a protector and couldn't find a good one. But I had min for about 1.5 yrs and had NO SIGNIFICANT SCRATCH. There would probably be small lines near the SE logo... but you would have to peep closely to notice.
I think I might order mine without the SP and decide to get one later.

I could, though the Moto X itself isn't sold in the UK. I wanted an immediate solution so I wouldn't have to leave it unprotected but I'm happy enough with the outcome to wait until some decent screen protectors arrive on the UK market.

I brought a case which is actually quite decent and it came with an OK screen protector. I applied it like a 2 year old so ended up taking it off and throwing it. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=161166397679

People who say only things of a certain hardness will scratch Gorilla Glass are talking rubbish. Either that or the phones I've seen in CeX - no more than two month old devices in some cases, with screens that look like they've been sandpapered - have been kept in the same pocket as someone's beach samples.

BEWARE the moto g does scratch quite easily, I know this because mine slid off the chair and the screen cracked and had scratches all over it, I now have got a replacement moto g and put a screen protector on from day one !

If you are spending $200 on something that could be damaged a good screen protector is cheap insurance.
We replaced my wife's Nexus S (bought the first month they came out) with a Moto G. She never had a screen protector. She has one bad scratch in the Nexus screen http://www.patentlystupid.com/sw/nexus.png sorry the pic is blurry but I took it in the dark with only a blue LED flashlight to highlight the scratch. Now keep in mind the Nexus S did not have Gorilla Glass. My guess is my wife's diamond ring hit the screen while she was rooting around in her purse one day. That is the only bad scratch on this 3 year old device.
A friend of mine likes to carry high end ($300+) pocket knives made by Bench Made, they constantly scratch is screens and he has resorted to using Spigen Glass screen protectors and these too get badly scratched by the metal edges of these hardened knives. He has replaced several already.
So no you are not being too weird or paranoid. I use Spigen Glas-Tr myself. I have no scratches on it yet, but I would rather replace the $30 screen protector than the screen on my $650 SGS4. Just make good sense.
I have put a cheap plastic protector on my wife's Moto G screen. I will replace it with a tempered glass one as soon as I find one I like.

screen protector ensures higher resale value, and since I sell my old phones on craigslist/ebay, I put protector on every single time. Sometimes $.99 stores sell iphone screen protector n I use it as temporary one until I wait to receive one I ordered online.
As for Moto G, I received the phone today and learned that the cover that comes with the phone CAN be used as a screen protector. Those M logo and motorola name on it? You can scratch them off with your fingernail.
