Hey guys. Just bought the S2 from Expansys-USA to use here with AT&T. It’s a fantastic device. However, I would like to also purchase a screen protector. Here’s where I need your guys' input and opinions.
In the past, I've used only the Zagg InvisibleShield and had them professionally installed at one of the Zagg carts/kiosks at my local malls. For the most part, they worked beautifully. Very smooth installation, although the screen itself had more of a "tacky" feel to it.
While researching the InvisibleShield for the S2, I came across this review on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WnL-Jcievc
Basically, the user gave a negative experience using the InvisibleShield and his S2. The reason was that the InvisibleShield left a permanent imprint on the phone and was too tacky for his tastes. I don’t mind the tackiness, but what worries me is possible damage to the phone in either of an imprint form (as this reviewer said) or possible water damage (as the idea of using any type of liquid always scares me). Although I have had 4 phones done with an InvisibleShield screen protector, the water did not prove to be problematic.
However, this time, I am paying pretty much $600-700 upfront with my own money without warranty for this unlocked version. This has gotten me worried whether I should still purchase the InvisibleShield and let them professionally install it. You never know when water/liquid can damage electronics! Especially with a new product like this… :-(
Anyhow, for those who either ARE currently using the InvisibleShield with the S2 and/or have used it before, but changed to another screen protector, what are your thoughts? Should I use it? I was thinking to just purchase the FRONT screen protector (not full body nor sides), and then buy a case that would be compatible with this screen protector.
Or should I purchase another screen protector? The SGP Oleophobic is what the YouTube reviewer chose, and it seems SGP products are favored with this phone. I guess the advantage is I would not have to use water. Anyhow, what do you guys think?
I used an Invisible shield before, and I must say, the SGP Glas is better in my opinion. I dont like the feel of the invisible shield, it feels like paper to me :O

I used zagg for myes previous phone and now im using sgp incredible shield. I find the sgp to be a lot smoother. The screen protector that came with it is extremely clear and smooth.

+1 for the SGP screen protectors.
Initially I purchased a Skinomi full body protection (similar to zagg) but ended up ripping it off due to my unsatisfactory installation and feel when using my phone.
I am currently using the SGP Ultra Optics and a case from PDair and I could not be happier.
I just put sgp oleophobic pretty good protector i not like zagg products

Thanks for responding, guys.
Anyhow, in regards to all your recommendations for the screen protector OTHER than InvisibleShield, aka SGP ones....
I am always worried with wet/water-based screen protectors. I've had nothing but good experience with InvisibleShield before. But now I am just worried that water damage could be a risk/possibility when trying to install any screen protector.
Of course, if I were to install the InvisibleShield, I would not install it myself. I'd most likely pay $5 for one of Zagg guys to do it.
Still, the idea of damaging my newly, $650 phone with water doesn't seem too appealing to me. Do the SGP screen protectors also need water (are they wet/solution based)? If so, any issues? I'm slightly paranoid when it comes to water + electronics. The thought of water dripping into the speaker/camera/battery or any other small slots/holes tends to scare me.
Or any other issues with SGP? Can they be removed easily? Any issues with screwing up the phone? And so forth...
The SGP Screen protectors do not use any kind of liquid, they are DRY stick-ons like regular screen protectors, only better. SGP Glas is also a dry item and is going to be my next choice.
My friend actually water damaged his Sensation yesterday trying to apply an Invisible Shield.
In terms of removal, Just use a piece of scotch tape. This works for almost any dry screen protector. You just apply the tape to a corner, and pull up, it will nicely remove the protector without damaging it. This is a great way to remove dirt too.
Regular SGP screen protectors are about $14 for a 2-pack. That is way cheaper than Invisible Shield.
Using an Ultra Optics right now.
On ebay I saw a store selling an SGP NEO Hybrid case for $24 and it includes a 2 pack of SGP crystal screen protectors. Good deal.

That's my video.
I feel I should clarify something though. When I mentioned an 'imprint', I wasn't referring to anything the protector leaves behind on the phone, but an actual imprint on the protector itself from the packaging. If you look carefully (I know it's hard as the light changes) there is an outline of a shield on the screen.
The cardboard box Zagg provide the protectors in has a cut-out in the front. The protector is placed behind this cutout. During packaging/delivery a weight of somesort has been applied on the parcel and it has resulted in an imprint of this shield being formed on the protector.
Zagg told me to leave it a few days for it to disappear - but it didn't.
They sent me a replacement, but it was exactly the same. I didn't get as far as installing the second protector, but wrote the whole Zagg IS off (imprint, orange peel, tacky feel) and got the SGP Oleophobic.
I hope that clears a few things up.
I have read some ad for the ultra protectors, some brands are INVISIBLE SHIELD, BODYGUARDZ, SGP PROTECTOR etc
Since i am LG P970 and it is not using the Gorilla Glass. I want a screen protector/ full phone coverage can protect from keys scratches, coin scratches in my bag.
what are the different? I know they all provided lifetime warranty replacement service. But Can I have more brands for comparison and have your comments on these protectors (how hard/strength are they)?
Thanks~~
i have looked the two web and do think that the info are great.As a matter of fact ,i bought two pieces.
I bought a Martin Fields screen protector for my HTC Mozart and am loving it.
Took a while to apply as I wanted it to be perfect and have no bubbles / dust particles under it. It now looks great (like there is no screen protector on).
Also as far as I can tell, it uses static to stick and no glue so you can remove it, put it back. If you need to get your phone swapped out, take it off and put it on the new phone etc.
It was half the price of the invisible shields (well, the prices here in South Africa at least).
i use the invisi-shield. and must say its very resistant to anything i have in my pockets with the phone.
I currently have a Skinomi and I notice it seems to be thinner/more malleable than others I've seen, so I do think there are at least subtle differences between most the brands. Sometimes differences can be major, as I hear about the Zagg and its intentional texture. I saw GhostArmor in the mall last week and although its cut didn't seem nearly as good as Skinomi's, I'm still going to give it a shot because it seemed to have very good transparency.

What I think is really funny is that everyone is buying this same stuff that 3M makes for protecting cars paint as well as head lights and it would probably be cheaper for one to get this stuff here rather than pay the amount for specially cut out clear film.

+1 INVISIBLE SHIELD It's a durable shield.
im just using the normal 1...haha...it very good also...
nice product i love it
What does everyone here think about Seidio? I'll probably be getting a G-Nexus and want to put something on it right out of the box.
I use a xoskin screen protector. They come with a install kit, spray, squeegee, and instructions. They are smooth and dont have orange peel like others and they dont turn yellow and peel off.
I use it to and good..
+1 to invisible sheild here.. once you get used to the texture it's a very good protector.
what do you think about defy
invisible Shield is great! I have it some time now, and the phone looks just like new
Please pleaase try a steinheil ultra crystal first!
I tried a couple cheapies $3 or so with bad results. They wore down in a couple weeks and didn't look clear.
The sgp or steinheil ultra crystal truly makes the screen look like glass with no protector on! And I am three weeks not a dent or scratch. They are around $14 shipped and well worth it (2 pack)
I have it on my samsung galaxy s2 Epic™ 4g touch and I might prefer the cover to the raw glass
..
Transcribed/Transmitted using my Samsung Galaxy S-II Epic™ 4g Touch |•XDA App•|
I need a screen protector for my Galaxy SII i9100 because I do not want to damage the screen. It should be a pack of 2-3 because I almost always mess up the first time.
It doesn't matter if it is glossy or matte, both are fine, but I am in the sun a lot so I should be able to still see the screen. Preferably something which gets rid of finger oils easily.
I live in USA, so Amazon or Ebay would be excellent.
I am using the Steinheil Ultra Series Screen Protector Films for my AT&T phone, the Ultra Crystal. It comes in a pack of 2. It was very easy to install, no bubble.
It keeps my screen scratch free and I still have the super nice clarity of the original Samsung AMOLED Plus screen.
They even have video to show you on how to do it on youtube or their website (sgpstore.com). There is no fingerprints issues with this Crystal version, you can just use their supplied Micro-fiber fabric and they go away.
You can buy them on Amazon for $13.99. The Ultra Optics which costs $2 more would be my other preference but it did not exist for my AT&T model.
Or you can try the Ultra Oleophobic which is oil resistant and is $13.99.
I use basic screen protector from ebay and work fine...
Phantomskinz - doesnt have the tacky/sticky feel (whilst offering same protection) of e.g zagg invisibleshield.
Google for discount code.

This is the best all around screen protector for the SGSII no doubt.

I would go with a 3M Estoc+ if budget allows.
Try the SGP Glas, although not fingerprint resistant, its a great screen protector which is made of real glass and is shatter-proof in case you drop it or hit it against something. The video on the website, the guy had to use a hammer and hit it twice to destroy it, but its not like you're gonna hit your phone with a hammer any day ^_^
http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/...g-galaxy-s2-screen-protector-glas-series.html
ah, one more thing, when using this screen protector, you have to install the Ninphetamine kernel, due to the charging bug, where the screen is undervolted, the touches on the screen are not detected unless you install the kernel, which tweaks the voltage going through the screen, and the physical touches are being recognized. Other than this, it's a great screen protector + no worries of bubbling!

It's not so much the glass being broken, more the glass being scratched. Which, despite being Gorilla Glass, is still quite easy to do (I have a tiny scratch on mine despite looking after it and never having it in my pocket with anything else for example).

This is exactly the reason as to why I wussed out on gorilla glass and installed a screen protector
I just got the SGP Ultra-Fine and I'm very satisfied with it.
Very easy to install, no fingerprint, no glare.
Get the cheapest top rated ones you can find on amazon. I was tempted to buy an expensive one, glad I didn't. I got 6 cheap ones for £3. First one went on perfectly, it's not even scratched up, but when it does, there are 5 more to easily replace it with. Not necessary to spend tons on these, you end up paying for the brand.
I'm happy with my SGP Ultra Optics protector. Since you're in the States shipping will be negligible as well. It's a dry install, I've even removed it, and put it back on to get the alignment perfect without issue.
I've tried two "wet install" protectors: Zagg (Invisible Shield) and Ishieldz, both were not even remotely worth the cost and it results in phone downtime to ensure that everything is dried out after the install. Of the two Ishieldz was the better.
Im surprised nobody mentioned InvisibleShield or iShieldz. I personally believe they provide superior protection (especially the InvisibleShield, check out the videos section of their website).
Both come with LIFETIME warranty.
EDIT: Oops, didnt read the post above me. But I've NEVER had any issue with applying InvisibleShield or iShieldz. I had an invisible shield on my X10 and was able to take keys the the screen without any damage at all and installation was a breeze. I currently have an iShieldz on my SGSII.
I prefer wet installs to dry as it is much easier to make sure everything is lined up straight before finalizing the process.

Invisibleshield has a tacky sticky feel to it, which is why i use PhantomSkinz which doesnt.

i would just buy a pack of 5 from ebay...cost a few dollars
I use SGP ultra optic. it's the best!
I have been using SGP GLAS for a week and love it. Since it's real glass, it feels like there is nothing there. In fact, it has a smoother feel than the touchscreen glass.
Installation instructions must be followed explicitly, but once installed, it's great.
It's pricy at 32USD$, but worth the investment in my view.
is there actually a difference between those cheap no-name ones you can buy for $1, and branded ishield/skinomi/whatever?

Just to add to this; when I ordered my SGP case it came with an Ultra Crystal protector, I also ordered the Ultra Optics protectors. Was time for a screen protector change so I installed the Ultra Crystal since it was all I had left. Not pleased at all, magnified finger prints, but more importantly touch sensitivity was awful. Of the two Ultra Optics is much, much better, it just doesn't look as crystal clear and shiny as the Ultra Crystal one.
Put on a Belkin protector today, sensitivity is back. It has a similar optical quality and finish to the Ultra Crystal, hopefully it doesn't show finger prints as easily. It's not as custom cut as the SGP protectors however; the hole for the home button is open at the bottom rather than surrounding the button.
EDIT:
Belkin = fingerprint hell. Touch sensitivity was markedly better, but finger print residue was WORSE than the Ultra Crystal; so bad that it was hard to view the screen. I just tore the bloody thing off.
Sgp oleophpbic. I use the ultra crystal and after. 3 months I have to search for marks and even then barely find them. However oil from my fingers is the biggest hassle. I would trade a few scratches for less oil. Sgp ultra capsule is the one to get case wise. Full protection, screenguard included, slim, and no, just no, cheap Amazon screen guards are not the same. At all. Not a bit. Used them and they are a waste of money.

Hey guys,
Got my hands on the new SGP Flex screenshield. This is a wet install screen protector that covers the whole front of your device, so those users that were not pleased with the coverage of the SGP Ultra Oleophobic should give this one a look.
Install was really simple and it cleared up within a day, while the screen protector shows fingerprints and is a little tacky, it is super clear and offers great protector.
Full review below:
Wonderful! I've been looking for a review for this, and it's finally here from someone!
I'm not sure how I feel about it. I loved the Ultra Crystal on my Droid X/Fascinate/Motorola Xoom. Also, in the video, the orange peel didn't really show up when you had the screen on. Does it show up when the screen is on or is it only if it's caught at a certain angle? Also, can you update this in a couple of days after you've used it longer? I've heard that the rubbery-ness goes away on certain screen protectors and I wanted to see if the same could be said for this one.
Thanks!
I am so torn! I love the crystal clear I have on my dinc but for the gnex I will be getting im not liking how sgp cut the protectors small due to the curved screen. I like that this gives edge to edge coverage but that rubbery sticky feeling is a complete turn off for me..what to do what to do...
nice review mate keep it up
Just got my GS3 a week ago and I love everything about it so far. However, I'm starting to think I'll need a screen protector for it. Just for convenience I searched on Amazon and came across Tech Armor's screen protector. It has good reviews but other than the reviews on Amazon haven't been able to find more information about it.
Has anyone tried this sp out yet to get some insight from? Doing research on others but interested in learning more about Tech Armor products.
I literally just applied one. It went on fine. Just FYI - it does not cover the entire screen. It's edges are trimmed to the home button and top cameras and span a millimeter or so past the screen to either side. I'd definitely use it again especially as the 3-pack is under $10 shipped.
i was looking at those too... i was initially impressed with the reviews but then realized this was the only product those people ever reviewed.
Maybe i'm just jaded but 6 5 star reviews by people who've never reviewed anything else seems a little fishy to me.
Great to hear! Have you heard of the SGP curved crystal that's going to be coming out soon? Wondering if I should wait for that or try this one out.

I ended up ordering both the anti-glare and the clear, but i don't have the sgs3 yet. Has anyone else tried the techarmor? I might just return them if I did get screwed by the 10 amazon reviews....
I have the HD clear one from tech amor and it works great....doesnt affect screen quality at all and easy to apply, comes with three screens and a lifetife warranty so you cant go wrong!

Ok, well I guess I'm only out the $14 if they are terrible. I will post my discoveries once I get my SGS3.
it's good
I purchased the Tech Armor anti-glare and anti-fingerprint screen protector from Amazon for ~$10. It was really easy to apply and it does the job. My only gripe is that it degrades the screen quality by a little, but it was worth the $10.
I have this and it's a good screen protector. You get three which is good but some of my corners are starting to peel a little.

What's the point of screen protectors with Gorilla Glass? I mean the screen won't scratch, it will shatter, which a protector won't stop. So, what's the point?

It's still glass and it still is most certainly prone to scratches, scuffs, nicks, dings, and dents. Honestly, I can sleep more sound at night knowing I have just one more layer of protection on my $600+ device.
For the record, my girlfriend purchased these screen protectors for her S3 and she is extremely disappointed with how much the protector cuts down on vibrant colors and light from the screen.
I bought these anti-glare/anti-finger print ones that come in a 3 pack for about $10. I think they are ok as far as fit and stickability goes, but imo they make the beautiful screen turn into a fuzzy rainbow blurry piece of crap. I am returning mine and buying something else. I've only seen one other phone that had a screen protector looking this bad.

I have the clear. It's good. Like other clear screen protectors oil, smudges, and fingerprints will show up.
FYI, for anyone interested, I wrote this review on Amazon. I'm not usually one to write reviews, but I felt I had to because of how it makes the screen look.

Hello, this is Tech Armor. At the time this post was written we had just launched product on Amazon for the Samsung Galaxy SIII. We are currently the #1 brand on Amazon for protecting the Samsung Galaxy SIII thanks to your support. We do our best to provide stellar customer service paired with a quality product. We offer a lifetime product replacement warranty on every product we sell, and we stand behind it. If any forum members want to review our products, please contact us and we can send out evaluation samples.
The Samsung Galaxy series including the Galaxy Notes ( I use a Note II) have curved screens with a beveled edge, which makes applying a stiff screen protector a challenge, but we have developed a solution with a thinner, more pliable material. We also leave a 2.5mm clearance gap around the beveled edge to prevent peeling. If you really clean the screen well and center your screen protector in the installation, it will stay on for a long time and protect your phone from daily wear and tear and the abrasions we encounter as part of our daily lives.
We offer the protectors in two finishes, the High Definition Clear and the Antiglare/Antifingerprint (Matte) Finish.
The Matte Finish product has 3 main benefits:
Reduces Glare
Reduces Fingerprints and Smudges
Has a soft feel/touch (Often preferred by gamers and power users)
However, you do sacrifice some clarity for these features and it is not for everyone. If a user buys this product and does not like it, we offer to exchange it for the High Definition clear model.
Please visit our website for more information.
All the best,
Tech Armor Support

We are sorry you are unhappy with the Matte finish of the anti-glare/anti-fingerprint screen protectors. All Tech Armor Screen Protectors use the highest quality Japanese PET Film available and we use 100% Bubble Free adhesives.
The Matte Finish product has 3 main benefits:

Simply email us at customerservice with your order number and we will ship them out to you via USPS First class immediately.
We offer a Lifetime Replacement warranty on all of our products and we stand behind it. We will take care of your issue to your satisfaction and if not will gladly refund your full purchase price.

We won’t rest until we can make you a satisfied customer, just give us the chance!
All the best,

I think all anti-fingerprint screen protectors reduce the display quality. I believe the matte finish that reduces fingerprints is slightly raised throughout and the lack of a smooth finish is what reduces the fingerprints but at the same time reduces the screen quality. I used Steinheil anti-fingerprint screen protectors on my Captivate and I was more than willing to compromise the screen quality for the lack of fingerprints. I couldn't find them for my S3 so I ordered the Tech Armor ones which will arrive this coming week. I don't watch videos/play games so I'm no doubt not as critical of the screen quality as someone that does.
Unless you're one to constantly clean your screen IMO the fingerprints reduce the screen quality way more than the anti-fingerprint protectors. My Captivate rarely needed the screen cleaned (virtually zero fingerprints) and I'm hoping the same is true for the Tech Armor protectors. When I'm in the field using an Excel spreadsheet with a client I don't want to have to constantly clean the screen so they can clearly see it. I'll settle for little/no fingerprints and the ability to see the screen albeit at a reduced quality every time.
Based on this review. I grabbed one ff these kits from amazon and installed today. Very pleased with the product and installation was a breeze.
Wouldn't know about those. Had one of those cheapo 3x for $1 off ebay and have nothing really bad to say about them. Also got them replaced later by the one that came with my UAG urban armor case and i find it slightly better, specially when applying. Just not sure if it's worth the difference.
Anyway, it's good to see that tech armor has great customer support that will even bother to reply here in xda. That's something most companies overlook and i'll easily pay extra for.
I've made a review on the iPhone 5 Tech Armor HD screen protector and I wanted to share my experience here. I've only used ZAGG and Ghost Armor before I've tried this and I must say that I prefer Tech Armor much more over those 2 brands. The feel of the screen protector is much better and when I give my phone to other people to use, they don't even notice the screen protector is there. So the quality of the screen protector is there.
On top of that, I noticed some imperfections on the screen protector, it seemed that there were some small scratches on the protector itself and it started to peel a little. I informed Tech Armor of my problem and they sent me 3 more for free. So customer service is also there when it comes to Tech Armor.
I've never purchased Clarivue or SGP before so I can't comment on the clarity/feel versus those two brands, but if anyone has input on that, I'd be interested to hear what it is. I found this thread by searching Tech Armor and there doesn't seem to be many forum posts on this company and I'm currently in the market to see what screen is the best for my Nexus 4 (I know this is the S3 thread).
