Realook SS - Best - myTouch 4G Accessories

Coming from a Samsung Vibrant I had one of the best screen protectors out there (Or well, I think so)
They also make it for the MyTouch 4G & I just ordered mine last night.
I would deff recommended that you all try this!
It comes with:
(2) Screen Protectors
(1) Lint Free Cloth
(1) Squeegee
(1) Alcohol Wipe
(2) Tapes (To get up the screen protector w/o damaging it)
(4) Camera lens protective film
Well, that is what my Vibrant one came with atleast
I am pretty sure they sell them on Amazon & eBay (I got mine from eBay)
It costs about $10.99 for them.

I got my phantom skin with 2 screen protectors. I must say I am very pleased with thwarting quality. No orange peel, perfect cut.

Which provides better grip to the screen, Realook or Phantom Skin?

Idk about PS, but Realook didn't really improve grip. If anything it's less grippy. I kill at Fruit Ninja now haha!

I'm actually looking to purchase a screen protector like this. I like the smooth feeling rather than grippy feeling so that it feels like the original glass of the device. But I was wondering if this screen protector has cutouts for the proximity and light sensors. If it doesn't, has it affected the sensors at all? I only ask because I read somewhere that some devices that have screen protectors affect the sensors.

And yes, it isn't grippy. I hate grippy ones.

It doesn't have cutouts for anything. The FFC, notication light, sensor.. they're all covered. The FFC is unaffected. I don't use auto-brightness so I'm not sure if the sensor is affected, but I doubt it. This thing is mighty clear.

Nothing is affected by covering up the sensors. It acts normal. I've been using Realook ever since the Vibrant, then the iPhone 4, and now the myTouch 4G.

lol, pretty much what I covered in the post that you quoted me on..

I had my realook ss for a couple days now. Applying it to my MT4G was easy and you don't need to use soap water! Don't even notice it's on my screen.

Can someone please provide a link? I can't find it unless they are sold out for now.

I'm a big fan of Realook as well. I got them for my Vibrant (sold) and have them on the MT4G now. Although there are no cutouts for the FFC/proximity/light sensor, none of the components are affected by it. These really are the last screen protectors you'll ever need to buy.

Martin Fields Screen Protector Now available

hopefully these will stick down all the way to the edge as opposed to the SGP oleophobic.

they are dry application. but with most dry applications might have the edge-of-screen-protector lift.
i'm waiting for my xo skin, so someone might want to try this out and report back.
I'm interested in how these fare. I opted for XO Skins yesterday before I knew about these. I usually go with SGP dry applications but I can't stand not covering the whole screen. I got the impression that dry applications are just not able to cover the full of these curved screens without edge imperfections.
If someone gets these, please let us know how it worked out.
Looks like no cutout for the front face camera
Ok, so I just got my Martin Fields screen protector today for my Galaxy Nexus. This was the first time I've used their brand, previously relying on mainly Zagg, but also quite a variety of other brands for all the gadgets I've had over the years. I can easily say that this is the best Screen Protector I've ever owned, by far. Like they say, it is absolutley crystal clear. My screen actually seems to be more vibrant than it was without the protector, and I certainly couldnt tell that it was even applied.
Installation was a breeze...fired up the shower to steam up the room and bring all the dust down, then just wiped my screen clean and slapped it on. Took me a few tries to get the alignment perfect. If you get dust under the screen during installation, the tape trick described on the packaging works excellently. All the bubbles smoothed out easily and my phone was ready to use right away.
The protector is about one tenth of a millimeter from the edge of the screen, which is just enough to keep it from seperating and attracting dust. All-in-all, the most exact fit I've ever seen with any SP.
Anyway, I just figured I would post my findings. I spent an hour reading forums like this before I bought them, with no concrete answers. Between the full device fit, crystal clear look, and camera protector, I have a new favorite brand. Any more questions, feel free to ask me!

I've been through almost 20 Zagg protectors in the past, which are all wet installation. I've had just as many edge-of-screen lift & dust issues with them I have with dry protectors (and I had most of them installed at the Zagg carts). After all, that moisture dries up eventually.

Fits the curved screen perfectly, no issues there. Either they anticipated it and shaped the SP accordingly, or the curve isn's significant enough to have any effect. Overall, very pleased with mine, and would definitely recommend.

There's no reason to. There's virtually no difference noticible when looking through this.protector, and believe me, I tested it with before and afters. They look just like the pictures.on MF's site. The Gal. Nexus protector comes with a rear camera protector as well, and it is just as clear. That was one of the main reasons I tried this brand, because I was tired of scratched camera lenses.
This one looks awesome but unfortunately I've spent a fortune trying out screen protectors for my Galaxy Nexus.

+1 for the pics. Unfortunatelly it's been 2 weeks since I've been looking for screen protectors and have not found one that I like. The wet ones scare the crap out of me and the dry ones I found are cut way to small. Without real live pics I'm not sold. Ordered one from 3M Vikuti for about 15$ and I was really dissapointed. Never buying 3M again for anything, thats for sure.

I hear that. Currently have a zagg. But also have a clear-coat, sgp flex, and a ghost armor on the way. I guess i prefer the wet install type.
Ordered. Wish I saw this before I ordered the xo. Pretty pricey though. I hope it's worth it.
Had martin fields on my original desire and desire hd.... extremely happy with it, one on the dhd lasted me 18monhs and still going!!!! Will buy one for gnex as well

How about fingerprints, does the Martin Fields help? I have the SGP Oleophobic and am very happy with the anti fingerprint properties but wish it covered more of the screen. The SGP would be perfect if a little more coverage.
+1 more for pictures. I've heard absolutely nothing conclusive about screen protectors for the GN and I've spent the past 2 weeks trying to figure out where I should spend my money.
Just ordered mine aswell, lets see.
... that camera lens protector has me very interested.
i'd love to see some before and after pics to see if it blurs or distorts photos at all.
Got mine today and I am quite pleased with the screen protector. Think I should share my experience with those planning to buy this
First the quality of the protector is no doubt very good, it is crystal clear and very resistant to fingerprint and smudge. The screen look as good as before and there is no "rainbow" appearance of any kind one might see on cheaper alternatives. Touch screen response is maintained as well. It dosent seems to attract dust unlike some other static screen protector I tried before.
However the dreaded lift-of-edge issue is still there It may not be very obvious in daily use, but it IS noticeable. I have attach a few photos so that you can see the degree of the lift. It seems that the only way to avoid this is to have a smaller protector to avoid the edge....or use the wet type like xo-skin
For the rear camera protector its quite good from my experience and doesnt affect the image quality or the AF-speed of the camera.

UPDATE: SGP GLAS.t Screen Protector (Video)

For those asking where i brought this, it was purchased off eBay from a Canadian SGP Authorized reseller "rand-a1thor" for $43.99USD.
***ATTENTION***
After the installation the bubbles seen at the end of the video we're indeed removed and the screen looks beautiful.
I also use the Casemate "Barely There" case with this Spigen GLAS.t and it still fits perfectly like a glove. Surprisingly the package did NOT come with any of the home button "stickers" like the iPhone does but to be quite honest the home button still feels responsive and doesn't have that sunk-in feeling.
I highly recommend this GLAS.t protector as it gives the Galaxy Note that great stock screen feeling.

I have this and I love it. It's so much better than the Note's screen, which I personally think is awful. That thing is a fingerprint magnet and difficult to clean! I haven't had any problems with screen response with it at all...even when charging. It's just like the actual screen except it feels even better. Fingerprints still happen of course but not nearly as bad and they wipe away easily.
My only gripe, and it's a small one, is that the tiny sliver right above the ear piece (about 1mm x 3/4 in) won't adhere. It's not noticeable unless you're looking for it but it still kinda bugs me a little bit. Other than that, this thing is amazing. Can't recommend it highly enough. I also love that unlike screen protectors, this won't have to be replaced...like, ever. This is definitely something I'd buy again when I eventually switch phones.

Yeah, it looked pretty bad before I took off the protection. I somehow even got dust under the top sheet and thought it was under the glass and wanted to scream. But once that top sheet is off it looks pristine and perfect.
Also, be warned that the glass will have a slightly sticky texture from whatever they used to make that top sheet stick. I was disappointed at first because I noticed a slight drag when sliding my finger across the screen. Just be sure to wipe it down really good to get rid of that residue and then it's great.
Thanks for the info. Mine comes in tomorrow. $34.99 from Amazon with free two day shipping.
The Zagg which I have on my phone now sucks. The stylus doesnt work very well. It catches on the rubbery surface.
Mine arrives tomorrow too... anyone doing a video review?
I plan on doing one and posting to YouTube afterwards.

Do it in the bathroom. Preferably about 10 minutes after you have taken shower and steam in air has settled down a bit. Usually its the most lint free place in home.

I haven't tested it with knives but I did mistakenly put my phone in my pocket with some loose change and it didn't put any mark or scratch on the screen. Seems to be extremely durable. No effect whatsoever on the s-pen. Same as using the stock screen!
Any problems with sensitivity of the screen during charging? Especially the menu and back buttons? I was using the GLAS for my S2 previously and had to remove it because of this.

Yet another scratch! What's generally considered the best screen protector?

This phone apparently has the most fragile screen of any phone I've ever used, and I've already gotten two deep scratches on it just from being in my pocket alone. I'm usually a huge fan of keeping the phone naked, but this is unacceptable. I'm willing to spend at least $20-$30 for a very good screen protector that will stay in place. What's the consensus?

That question will get you tons of differing opinions. Here's mine, lol.
The Skinomi is really good. I've had them on tons of phones throughout the years and I think they've gotten better. Never had them discolor. My first ones had some orange peel but the one I just installed on my S3 is REALLY nice. No peel. I'm very pleased.
Best part is it's $3 - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0084F4HY8/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
For 3 bucks, you can't go wrong in trying. If you dont like get the more pricey options. Doubt you will.

It's almost as if Samsung used a subpar glass on some models. My wife ended up with a good scratch on her screen after a few days, and we have no clue where it came from, she had been super careful with it and never had anything else in the pocket with it. I am currently using a Zagg HD screen protector (honestly cannot tell any difference compared to their old protectors). I have considered trying out one of the glass protectors as I love the feel of the naked screen, the Zagg has the typical silicone screen protector feel to it, but I deal with it because I want my screen protected.
well the only scatch i have its a dot on my home key.
and plastic border,
so unless u put ur pants with a bunch of pointy nails , or sand. it shouldnt scratch that easily
I too have a zagg hd on now and do not like it. Seems to peel up on the sides a few times a week. So are the glass ones good to go? I had read some reviews......I believe it was droid-life that said that there were dots or grids in the finished product?

I bought a Skinomi when Amazon had it on sale for $0.99, and I can't recommend it.
CONS:
1) It's an annoying wet-application that takes a few days to dry, and for all major bubbles & imperfections to go away
2) Even after it dries, a few splotchy imperfections & minor orange peel will remain, but it's not visible with the screen on.
3) It feels RUBBERY. Compared to SGP's smooth ultra crystal, skinomi is just tacky as hell.
4) It peels up at the edges over time, especially with TPU cases, but not so much with hybrid cases.
5) Fairly thick: the home button is flush
PROS:
1) It's cheap-ish
2) It's nearly full-coverage
I guess the thing I hated most about it was the tacky friction feeling as I swiped my fingers, but after it built up a layer of grease, it got better (and after you cleaned it with microfiber, went back to tacky-as-hell). Just wasn't smooth-as-glass enough for my tastes, compared to SGP.
I'm currently using the new-version SGP Ultra Crystal... and my single gripe with it is that I know it's not supposed to be full-coverage, but, it could've been made a little wider. As-is, it's almost exactly as wide as the black part of the display, so you feel the edge sometimes.

Careful, a lot of people are having sensitivity problems.

What screen protector to buy?

I did a quick search and couldn't find much on this topic for this phone, specifically.
For those of you who have bought/used a screen protector for this phone, which brand would you recommend for? recommend against? And why?
ScreenProtector
Hey, personally i just bought the HD Zagg shield for the screen. Compared to other screens out there its a little more expensive, but you cant argue with the clarity and protection it gives. Plus it doesn't distort the picture at all and for a phone like the LGOG screen resolution is killer.
Screen Protector. What is that? LOL, no need with these new phones. My 2 cents.
I too prefer the zagg invisashields
I got the Ghost Armor because it is almost like the HD Invisible Shield.
Full body for $30. Feels like I'm touching the screen itself.
If you really want protection then go for the regular Zagg.
I bought this one from Spigen:
http://www.amazon.com/SPIGEN-SGP-Pr...keywords=spigen+screen+protector+lg+optimus+g
Fits perfectly, easy to apply, high quality, crystal clear, and the price is right.
I bought the Xtreme Full Body Protectors cheap but good really quality, for best protection I would go zag full body.

Fits perfectly, easy to apply, high quality, crystal clear, and the price is right.

Sorry to hear about your experience. I've had this screen protector installed since Thanksgiving and the phone is in constant contact with my face all day long and haven't had any oil absorption issues at all with it. Its as clear as the day I installed it.

Are you using any case in combination with the Spigen screen protector?

Awesome, and it's not forcing the edges up at all?
Sent from my Sprint LG Optimus G
The edges come up if I apply really hard pressure to the edges of the case. The key I have found is that when inserting the phone into the case, insert it at an angle under the lip of the case so that you are sure that the lip rests on top of the screen protector and not adjacent to it. Basically, imagine the amount of extra pressure you need to apply (compared to just holding the phone normally) to click one of the volume buttons while the phone is in the case. Now multiply that 5x. That's about how hard I have to push on the sides of the case if I want the case to force the up the screen protector. In my experience, unless I really try, the screen protector does not bubble up when in the Diztronic case and so it just not an issue for me.

Screen Protector. What is that? LOL, no need with these new phones. My 2 cents.

I didn't have a screen protector on my phone for the first month, and it got some very light scratches. Also, the center of the screen had its coating rubbed off somewhat (the screen cleaner beaded differently in the center when sprayed on.) I usually use the Zagg HD shields, they covered up the light scratches and protect the phone nicely, I can barely tell that its on.

agreed, can't say enough good about these Spigen screen protectors.
The UQ is amazing but fingerprinty. They are hard to install perfect, but are dry installed. Clean up your dusty environment before you attempted to install one because the tiniest speck will show.
Still not sure how it happened, but I found a few minor scratches on my "gorilla" glass recently. There's never anything in my pocket with my phone, so I really don't understand how they got there.
Anyways, I found a 50% off code for Zagg at RetailMeNot:
feb4
Just ordered a front & back shield for ~$15.50 shipped.
I mean, WTF? Gorilla glass? More like scratch it by looking at it glass. My kid's tossed my HP Touchpad to the ground and smashed trains on it dozens of times and there's not a mark on it. But I put my LGOG in my pocket, take it out, and its scratched. Grrrrrr.
I bought a HD mirror screen protector. I wouldn't advise it. It reminds me of taking your 3D glasses off in the theater and watching the movie. This is while the phone is powered on.
In the sun its hard to see unless its on full display brightness.
These are my findings and opinions. I wouldn't buy it again.

[Q] HTC Double Dip Hard Shell Case - Screen Protector Compatibility

hi guys.
I have been looking around and trying different cases, however i always end up looking at the official Double Dip htc Hard case, as it looks to be the best one .
Just wondering about the case, asking the people who have used it. I always use Xtremeguard/Invisibleshield wet application screen protectors on my htc One. i wanted to know if the case is compatible with screen protectors? because i have come to experience some cases making the protector peel off.
any responses will be appreciated.

Some screen protectors work, some don't.
From my experience, skinomi and just a generic matte screen protector did not work with the case, but I'm using a gadget shieldz now and it works
absolutely right
bought this cover 2 days ago, unfortunately top (red) part of cover - when applied will peel off screen cover
this because gap for front camera eye, actually bottom side of this hole.
screen protector - nothing special - something from phones4u for 8 pounds
any idea?

I'd say get a "wet" screen protector as they can bend into shape. That's what mine has done, instead of peeling off because of the front camera it molded itself around it. Hope that makes sense

Yeah the screen protectors that need to be wet or have the screen wet before being applied
They're also easier to apply because you can take them off again and re-apply. The only ones I know of are gadget shieldz or skinomi
Has anyone tried putting on the HTC Double Dip case with a Ghost Armor screen protector?

I wouldn't trust that much third party DD cases, i mean, even the HTC ones are doing scratches.

I just received mine that I ordered off ebay /Hong Kong as well. It's pretty nice. I've removed it a couple of times already to see if it scratches and no it hasn't. I just made sure before I first put it on to clean/scrape the inside of any excess plastic.

I'd wait for about a day for it to settle and everything. Apply the screen protector before you sleep and then put the case on when you wake up.
Are wet application type screen protectors the only ones that are compatible with the Double Dip case?
I would feel more comfortable knowing that the screen is protected but I am not a fan of the grippy texture that Zagg usually has. But if it's the only one that works then beggars can't really be choosers.
Edit: Decided to go with the Zagg Invisible Shield. It actually isn't as bad as it used to be. I'm really satisfied with my purchase.
