So, I was FINALLY able to get my order through on the Zagg website for the full mt4g skin. Pretty stoked about it. Does anybody have one on their phone yet- is the LCD protector smooth or 'grippy' like the bare screen is?

Smooth and Zagg dont belong in the same sentence
Should have looked thru the forums first, if you want a smooth screen protector you should have went with realook! And even with the 50% deal they have, imo is still steep especially with companies like bestskinsever and phantomskins offering similar products but cheaper. Now don't let the price fool you. I've own zagg on my g1 and itouch but then found BSE for the mytouch og my nexus and now for the mt4g. BSE has better coverage on corners and has less orange peal imo than zagg.
One advantage of zagg tho is the kiosks in the mall, you can exchange your skin there once the skin starts pealing or discoloring. With BSE you have to mail the old skins first then you get the new one...but with their buy one get one you always have a spare.
Sweet, thanks guys! Well, one thing that helped me feel like it would be safe to get the Zagg skins is the money back satisfaction guaranty. lol Zagg and smooth not belonging in the same sentence does throw up a red flag though! I've been looking through the forums and would really like to get the real look skins, but they are out of stock . Maybe If the Zagg's don't work out for me, it'll buy me enough time for the real looks to be back in stock somewhere.
Well what you can do is use the zagg for everything else and get the realook for your screen but save the zagg screen protector when you exchange the skin, cause they won't do it if there's a diff one on your phone in the kiosks. Learned that the hard way...took 2 trips to the mall
Hey, thats an awesome idea!- I'm gonna do it. I'll continue keeping an eye out for the SS's to get back in stock

Tpu Cases would probably be your best bet. I currently have a clear Tpu case that was made by a member here on XDA. You can go that route or there is also one that HTC manufactures as well, I just ordered it!

Looks like a nice product however I already have a tpu case and it makes the phone feel cheap for me and I just generally dont like cases. I have the clear lux argyle case, check it out it's not bad for a case.

try Wrapsol, I have used it on my Hero and my EVO. wrapsol.com.
Google "wrapsol coupon code" and you can get some money off too.
If you don't mind the cost, I love my Steinheil Incredible Shield. Best accessory I've bought so far. The body protection film feels just the slightest bit grippy to me which keeps the oil off you hands from making the phone slippery, and the screen protector is crystal clear and smooth as glass, and doesn't affect the touch screen sensitivity. The Incredible Shield comes with both the body and screen films. I don't have enough posts to post the link, but I'll PM it to you
First post here, been lurking for awhile. I personally like the skins offered by Best Skins Ever. They are $7.99, fit perfectly, no "orange peeling", and offers protection for the front screen, battery cover, kickstand, camera lens, and all four sides of the phone. I've used the InvisibleShield before and I feel that it is too thick, too much drag on the screen. The BSE provides better protection without the drag.
Invisishield is pretty sweet too....you can get it for just the screen or the entire phone...I had it on my hero so I had to have it on my evo too....

Can't go wrong with the INVISIBLESHIELD. Plus u get a lifetime warranty
I have the Zagg INvisibleSheild and I like it.. It has a different feel to it than just the screen, but for me it feels better.. I got mine at Bestbuy, just have them pricematch ZAGG so you don't get ripped off (as bad)..
Yeah....when I got mine over my whole phone best buy was having a $1 install special

Check out my signature for a great option. And since they are new they are selling them very cheap! I have only had one on it for the last 5-6 months now.
Stealth Guards.......pretty much the same thing as InvisibleShield but FREE.
I ordered one for all my phones. Just pay the $2.?? s/h. Well worth it.

Do not buy Phantomskinz for Evo. They sent me two of them. I installed and left on for 24 hours. My first impressions was "Wow!". Not much orange peel and feels nice. I have it on wife's iphone and sony camera, but they dont go through the same abuse as my Evo. I usually keep my EVO and carkeys in the same pocket. A few days later there is wrinkles all over my skin and it doesnt heal itself. Thought maybe defective, so i applied the second skin. A few days later same issue. Contacted their customer service and here is their response:
"Issue is the glass screen of the Evo. We call it a hardened glass screen. Unfortunately it reacts differently to the skin then normal devices would and the skin does not heal as it would on other devices. However, we never recommend keeping your phone in the same pocket as your keys. Our skinz are made to self heal small scratches and dents but this is pushing it a little far. I would recommend installing the second Evo Screen that was included in your kit if it is still available. I would also recommend separating your keys and cell phone."
I bought the skin so i can protect my phone from the car keys and she's telling me to keep them separate. Also, i moved from regular plastic screen protector and never had this issue. When i told them i used up both screens included, they asked to go through normal warranty and pay $3 for a replacement skin. Pay more money for skin they admit does not work on my Evo. No thank you. I have ordered from BestSkinEver and will review once i apply it.
I've attached some photos and video that I sent to their customer service.
Just wanted you guys to know that my local Sprint store repair center guy told me last week that if I put an invisibleshield on my phone, it'll void the warranty because it requires water to put it on.
I've got the invisibleshield on my iPad and love it...can anyone confirm this from their local Sprint repair center?
I use stealthguards and for the most part they're great. I have never used any solution like those before on my previous phones so I don't know how it compares to all the other "self healing clear skins" but for the stealthguards, u do notice its not as clear as normal screen protectors especially when the screen is off but the I personally love the feel of it and it works great. I've noticed that at the malls they have kiosks that sell "Ghost Armor" clear protectors and they apply it on the spot for you so you can also try those...
Go with best skins ever. BSE FTW!
Invisibleshield, skinit, or something else...What works better for protecting your phone??
I really love Skinomi, same high quality of Invisible shield but its easier to put on and much much cheaper. They're a smaller company but i really love the quality of their screens and skins. The texture of the skins feel really great and natural. I've bought screens from them on Amazon for G2s and a kindle. They have a lifetime replacement thing that actually seems to work.
InvisibleSHIELD has worked pretty good for me. I've had it on my phone now close to a year with no complaints.
Here's a link to the 20% discount I used when I bought it LINK
I get XtremeGUARD protector for my phone off ebay, they work great and has the same quality as my friend's InvisibleSHIELD
I love the ZAGG Invisible Shields - free replacement is also a huge plus for me when I decide to upgrade to a new device because they'll send me a completely new screen and I usually resell the screen and that covers the cost of a new one.
Best investment I've ever made - especially the full body ones.
ZAGG has been treating my phone well, but skinit is great for computers - I got a red sox one and i love it

That's cool you were able to resell it.
Zagg ftw. I didnt know about the free replacement though, cool.
They give you free replacements? I didn't know that either. 20% off and free replacement...sweeeet
I guess I should prob get something to protect my phone huh
another vote for ZAGG.
Invisible Shield.
Probably because thats the only one I have lol.
When or if it breaks/rips i'll probably get that free replacement thingy or try a different brand. But I would totally recommend getting one soon if ur like me, I have butterfingers lol
No shield works pretty well for me, cheapest too
I've never had anything like this on my phone. Do they have invisibleshields with designs on them?
I've used skinit before, maybe I'll try invisible shield this time around.
I begin use invible shield on my se x10 because after 3weeks of using on glass was some srews..

thanks on this skinomi , just ordered one for my G2 off amazon
I used Bodyguardz on my HD2 and myTouch4g, they give you 2 complete sets for what 1 cost from Zagg.
I bought Best Skins Ever for my G2 and, got 2 cheaper than the Bodyguardz. Both are very good products.
Best Skins Ever has better coverage than the BodyGuardz skin does. BSE runs around $8.99 for full coverage of your phone.
Zagg invisible shield is my choice!!!
I asked in another thread about invisibleSHEILD but Im seeing after different opinions, that there are various others offering the same protection at different prices.
Im going to be using a HTC Desire Z. Its "environment" will most likely be sliding in and out of my pocket and inside of my hoodies' pockets so yes, there will be lint around it. I dont want to use a case as it looks horrible and adds too much thickness to be in my pocket in a comfortable way. The "orange peel effect" is something I believe Im not going to mind. Im going for full body protection so keep that in mind as Ive read some full body protections cover more or less...
Ive pretty much slimmed it down to 5 but I might have missed some so vote Other, say which, and Ill add it to the poll
So which do you think is the best protection for me?
Also, thanks to everyone who is helping out. I truely appreciate it
Can't change the poll? Wanted to add Skinomi.
I am wondering the same thing. I have a Vibrant and want to figure out what a good protective sheild would be. This case is nice but I'd love to carry it without one and not have to worry too much.

Went ahead with the invisibleSHIELD. There was a 50% discount and you just have to take advantage on that
Thanks to all once more for the advice
Now finally, onto the HTC Desire Z (Ill come back problably asking for help on ROM flashing too )
Just recieved and installed the invisibleSHIELD. ZAGG just recieved this email from me:
Totally unacceptable: Last time I’m buying from ZAGG
My purchase for a invisibleSHIELD from you has been horrible since the beginning. First time around, the order button was broken on your webpage and I have to contact you to fix it. I ordered my invisibleSHIELD on 5/5/2011 and it shipped the next day. I sent you guys a email about my order and I’m STILL waiting for a reply. It arrived 5/18/2011; I’ve been shipped things quicker from the United States and Asia but fine. I receive the package (from Germany, why???) and first thing is that the box is semi crushed and not what I would expect from a company. Next thing, the solution bottle you guys send is unscrewed and naturally the solution spilled. I was stuck without a solution and I had to make do (because I’m not reordering paying a dime for you and waiting another 13 days) with soap and water. Next I find that some of the parts are actually already unstuck to the paper so I had to even put MORE effort in installing. I installed the shield today (again after the experience not worth it even if it protects from everything as there are companies that do the same thing).
Basically, no customer care, horrible package protection, and a product that simply is not worth it. Thankfully, I got a discount you were offering and paid half because this product is worth just that and even less.
I’m not recommending this to anyone; I prefer they try other products such as Best Skins Only which actually gives a decent price for the products.
Yea i also want to know which best screen protector i have to use ?
invisibleshield hands down.
From now on, BestSkinsEver; period. They are the only protectors I will use. Cheap, fast shipping, and great protection.
Zaggs are the best u ever feel on those?
Sent from my Arc using XDA premium App
I got an invisibleshield installed in a local store so luckily, I did not have any problem with it. I just did not experience installing it first hand which looks kind of exciting though the pressure.
I have some problems with it though. The small parts that cover the round edges seem to be peeling away and accumulating some dust or cotton, as I reckon from my pocket which annoys me. They said that I could get a new one but I have to ship the whole thing, so does that men I am going to be left with no protector until it gets shipped to my address? Not really an option if you ask me.

Agree, I've bought a a screen protector once which was full of scratches within a month or so.
I use a screen protector from xoskins on a lot of my stuff. They are uv coated so they don't turn yellow, resist finger prints, and do not feel like a rubbery orange peel.
Sorry you've had such a bad experience with Zagg. I've never had an issue with them myself. The screen protectors have worked very well for me and I've put them on something like eight devices. I'd still recommend them to anyone.
Best buy screen protectors
I hate paying the price at Best Buy, but their sales rep(s) are really good at applying the protector.

I would stay away from invisibleSHIELD unless you have the patience to install it or pay someone else to install it. My bro used it on his Evo 4G and for the price it was not all that good. I have been using ReaLook for my Epic 4G and it is very good and offers great protection
I use invisibleSHIELD protects good and installation was simple.Like other poster said it's peeling on corners and edges but I change my case a lot so that contributes.
I wanted to put something on my S3, but didnt want it too bulky as the slimness is one of the great features...So I end up looking at a few and think I want to try the bodyguardz armor and screen protector. Just wondering if anyone has used it lately and if it can be put on easy and cover and look good? Also wondering about the screen protector that comes with it. You see I had one on my iphone 3gs I just upgraded from and it had the best protector I have seen, my wife and kids had the zagg and it sucked, the orange peel and most of them ended up with jacked up edges before long and all that. But the one I had , well I have no freaking clue what brand it was...it was rigid, not a floppy skin like the zaggs and most others, it was more stiff and stayed flat if you held it on your figure for instance. I just wish I remembered who made that one as it would be my choice for sure.

Bump - I'm interested to hear if anybody has tried the bodyguardz for this phone too. Particularly the carbon fiber one.
I have used BG for over 3 years now (Palm Pre, EVO OG, E4GT, and now my GS3). I don't know why people don't comment much on it. I have tried the big guys, Ghost Armor, Zagg, etc. and I always keep coming back to BG. The build quality, clarity, application (especially the new ones with the gel) are second to none. You also get 2 sets per kit in case you mess up and unlimited lifetime replacements. Their customer service is amazing.
No orange peel, no weird Zagg texturing, simply clear.
I highly, highly recommend them. You won't regret it.

That's awesome. Thanks.
I'm not going to be put the screen protector on though...might change my mind, but really I'm buying it for the carbon fiber skin. I do not drop my phone, so all I want is scratch/scuff protection. Anybody used the skins, particularly the carbon fiber? I'm really curious if it's got any friction or grip or if it's really slippery still. Thanks!
I've previously used BSE on some products and always had good results.
I like many people am looking for the best way to protect my phone and keep the sleekness of this device prevalent. After buying my Galaxy S III, I started my research right away. Unfortunately I work as a Carpenter and Installer and couldn't afford to keep my phone naked at work, so as I was looking for a case at my local mall I had seen the Ghost Armor kiosk and decided to give it a whirl.
Review!
To start I have had the device for a week now, and the shield just as long. As I stated above I work Construction, and my phone is one of my most invaluable tools while I'm out at a customers house, running errands, or just in the shop. I had the Galaxy S II (Sprint) and it went through hell, from dents in the sides to scratches on the screen to being dropped from the seat of our work van, it took quite a bit of abuse, I didn't want my S III to endure the same beatings my S II took. (Just a note, its now in my girlfriends care, safe and secure in her everlasting grip.)
Pro's
Covers screen and backing well.
Price isn't bad, $35 for my total.
Screen stays less oily and less streaky.
Does its job and prevents the screen from getting scratched.
Cons
Does not cover entire body.
The skin placement is only as good as the installers skills.
The carbonfiber backing option creates edges.
Exposed areas. (where some skins cover.)
While this product does do its job and did to it well it does leave a lot to be desired, I have seen skins out on the market that cover the entirety of the phone, and you would think getting it from a bigger name they would have a more complete skin for the product. It did do its job however, but then again for about $30.00 USD I could get an Otter-Box that would do the same and much more. I have attached pictures for anyone interested in how it looks.
In short I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone looking for full protection, as a screen protector its nice, but it doesn't offer as much as other wraps that I have seen online.
Would've looked better in black imo. But thanks for sharing.
Ghost Armor is kind of overpriced. I had it on my one S and will never buy again.

I've used Ghost Armor screen protectors on my last three phones - Inspire, Skyrocket, and now S3. I like the screen protectors because they still feel pretty slick (probably not quite as much as the actual glass, but they don't tend to "catch" your fingers) and they don't seem to change the screen's appearance (at least not that I can tell).
However, I have never put a skin on any of my phones (I've only used cases), so I cannot personally comment on the quality of those.
Not a fan of the white...

Quite a few people have said that, but I like the white and have no regrets on getting it in white. At least me sharing the pictures will help others decide if they like the pebble blue with a white carbon-fiber backing. To each their own.

I DIG the white on the blue! got me thinking about it. just have to think about which color I would get with my white phone.
price is $35?
wow... it's pricey
You will regret the white. Had it installed on my wife's phone and it picks up dirt like you wouldn't believe.... looks horrible after that.....
Hey Just want to let everyone know if you like this look and don't wanna cut your own.I searched all last night and found a company that doesn't have those seems on the corner I even emailed them to make sure here it is http://www.xgearlive.com/products/android/samsung/exoskin-s-iii
I just ordered one
thanks for the review.
You forgot to mention the lifetime warranty. Don't like the colour? Pay the 5 bucks labour and have them change the colour. I got the green but it wasn't bending over the edges well. Went back and they swapped the back with carbonfibre gunmetal grey. Looks great, left the green sides on just so I can easily find it on my desk/bed/wherever. Love this. I didn't find it pricey at all when I compared it to the invisashield and others that get all scratched up and faded. If this happens to this, you just pay 5 bucks and they'll slap a new one one. I also agree that the screen protector is far less grippy than the invisashield so it's more enjoyable to use.
I'm going to get my nexus 7 done next I think.
I like the fact that their Kiosks are popping up all over the place. They have 2 in the same mall local to me. I paid 20 bux for the front screen protector installed. I have them install it for me and they do a great job. IF they don't have one for your phone, which is the case with Galaxy S II and III since they sell out of them often, they can be talked into cutting one out custom for it.
