Please let me know. My daughter scratched up my phone.
Some screen protector companies claim if you put on their product it will cover up minor scratches.
I bought screen guard from xoskins.com and it seemed to cover up the few minor scratches I had. Or, at least, I don't notice them anymore.

Yeah, I believe that. Most of these screen protectors look so crappy after u put them on the regular screen scratched up looks better. If any of you guys know of any good ways to actually fix the scratch and not just cover it up please advise. Thanks for your help.
hm you must not be very good at installing screen protectors OR you are buying super cheap ones. Most of the quality ones if installed correctly look almost invisible after the first day or so (some almost immediately) and will cover minor scratches making them almost to compellingly invisible.
The only other things i can think of is if you have the time and patience i have heard of people who have had success using very very fine jewelers sand paper and polish. a friend of mine also used the pens you can get for paint scratches on your car and has had success on other devices. never used either myself
I recommend "luxmo" branded screen protectors. Can't tell my evo is sporting one but I'm fully protected. Covered minor scratches and prevents future ones.

Honestly not an answer to your problem but a good lead.
You can also find a cellphone repair shop and replace the glass. You can also order the part, adhesive, and DIY.
MCMCMGUYVER!!! WACHA DOIN WITH THAT THANG??

I paid $30 to get the garbage Zagg Invisible Shield "professionally" installed at Best Buy. There are like 3 pretty noticeable dirt specs under the cover so I'm not happy with this choice (especially considering I paid $30 for this service) So aggravated...
Trust Me, They Suck At Installing Them.

Ghost armor is the best.. i swear...
idk where they sell but I had mine done at the Dadeland Mall (Miami FL).40$ full wrap... this stuff is good... i once sat on my TP2 with a lighter under it... for at least 30 mins till i noticed... The screen had the FULL lighter imprinted (like bump-mapped)... 10mins later cleared right out...
i didnt like the rubbery feel around the whole phone... but the side strips really do protect it from scuffs and stuff... the screen i ended removing and getting money back... only have it on my batt cover now... looks way stylish and the screen itself is scratch-proof (i did the razor blade test as a skeptic).
the only thing i saw scratches the screen is scissors (if you try to), and rubbing it on rough concrete (literally rubbing it)... an old Nova screen which I got insurance replaced gave me these results...so thats how i know

omg, I lol'd right in my cubicle imagining saying "kk thx buh bye" to a bestbuy employee, get that one on video!
Yep... Ghost Armor is the ONLY thing I use. Better than invisishield. Lifetime warranty. I had to get a new one once and it was free... well... i did have to cover shipping of like a buck. Watch the video several times over and read read read before doing it.
It WILL hide those scratches.
BTW... could you ask your daughter how she scratched it? I saw a video of a guy when the EVOs first came out. He tried pretty hard to scratch it without a guard and he couldn't. So I am really curious.
I did go back to Best Buy today and I got much better Mobile guy this time. He told me that a lot of the InvisiShields were damaged...he had to go through like 6 of them till he found one without a blemish. He actually did a really good job installing it...doesn't justify paying $30 for a piece of plastic but at least he did a good job. I just hope it stays on.
As for how my daughter scratched it...I saw her with my cell phone face down on my glass coffee table. Maybe there was something abrasive between the screen and the coffee table. I'm really careful with my phone for the most part so I'm pretty certain that is when it happened.
Because I'm brave and they're giving me the Invisible Shield and a 50 dollar credit, I'm sending my GT-P7510 to Zagg to have them design an InvisibleShield product for it. It should go to them tomorrow and they said it takes them 24hrs to do the measurements and send the product back.
So Zagg may be the first ones that actually get a specifically designed Screen and full body sheild out for the thin GT10 model.
I'll keep everyone posted with what they tell me.
Wow thanks for doing this
I agree with kentoe, thanks a lot!
Hopefully accessory makers will start to notice the 10.1 over the next few weeks
Awesome. Surprised they hadnt requested the measurements directly from Samsung though. Although, being able to test skins on an actual device will be helpful.
They shouldve sent someone to I/O lol
I got the GT-P7510 back this morning. Zagg did a good job with it. It doesnt cover the silver bezel except on the top edge of the device. They also cut out holes for the camera and light sensor on front and back.
Im guessing it will hit the Zagg website here pretty soon.

Well, I've had it on my device for a week or more at this point. I honestly don't like the way the material feels at all. I've normally avoided the Zagg branded products in the past instead ordering from Bestskinsever.com. Because they were cheaper mostly.
It feels like the Zagg material is far too tacky and textured. Im hoping it hardens a little with time and smooths out. And for being "self healing" it didn't make it through the first trip in my computer brief on a plane without a very noticeable pinhead sized gash. It definitely hasn't healed yet. It also collects finger prints easily and they don't come off quickly at all.
They gave me a $100 in free gift cards which i proceeded to order covers for about every random gadget I own. Maybe they feel better than what the GT10 is covered in.
From a protection standpoint it seems to be doing its job though. I suppose that's the foremost reason any of us order the protectors. As for the release, I have no idea. Send them an email, they seem pretty good about replies.

Tab 10.1 invisibleSHIELD now available
When I checked earlier this week, I couldn't find an invisibleSHIELD for the Tab on Zagg's site except the one that appeared to be for the 7 inch, so I emailed them. Lo and behold, I received a reply today, and the shield for the 10.1 is now on the site!
(and, I can't post the link because I'm new.)
I've had an invisibleSHIELD on my iPod touch (3rd gen) since about a week after I got it. Yes, the feel is closer to "tacky" rather than the slick glass-only feel of the bare iPod, and I imagine it will be the same on the Tab. I actually prefer this - I kept being afraid I would drop my iPod.
I haven't had a problem cleaning it. Rubbing firmly on my pants leg is usually enough to clear the fingerprint buildup, and when the surface starts feeling icky I use a very, very slightly damp paper towel to clean it. Honestly, before I got the Shield, I didn't like the feel of the screen, but I have oily skin, so I leave lots of fingerprints behind. I also have not had a problem with the shield being damaged, beyond my deliberate efforts (see below).
So I don't sound like a commercial for Zagg... Be aware that the shield material doesn't handle rounded corners well. I had to trim the corners on my iPod's shield where they had pulled away and picked up pocket lint. Looks like they're avoiding that issue on the Tab's skin by not covering the edge. The shield also reduced the sensitivity of the touch screen - only slightly, but noticeably.
This is the link.

Anyone order one of these and have it shipped yet? I placed an order on June 15 but the order hasn't even processed yet and I'm still waiting for them to get back to my email.
Is this the same type as the one at BestBuy?
I'm still debating if I will need one.

$30 for 10cents worth of plastic for just the front ($40 for front and back). They're nuts. Bodyguardz is $20, Kinomi is $16 and there is some cheap junk on eBay for $5. I'll either wait for a 50% off Zagg coupon or wrap it in saran wrap!
I bought one of these on release day. By 9pm that night I had already torn it off... felt like a 2 inch thick sheet of rubber tbh.
I've used Zagg in the past and it works, but for devices with gorilla glass like the 10.1 it's not necesary.
The back I think is the part that needs the protection.
I have a Zagg shield on my phone (Samsung Fascinate) and I love it. But I don't think I'm going to put one on my Tab. For starters, I think phones and other smaller devices (iPods, etc.) are much more prone to drops and other things that could cause scratches. And I've ordered the Samsung book cover case for my Tab, so that should protect the back and the screen reasonably well.

I have no problems with it. I could take a picture of the phone now that its been on for nearly 2 weeks now. its smooth, no blemishes, fits nicely, cut is pretty spot on.....
the only hitch i had was using a generic case, it would peel the edge/corners but I quickly got rid of that case and got another, even now you cant tell the other case peeled it up, the skin has the same finish and look on all parts of it.
I feel like a salesperson for XtremeGuards, I am that happy with it.

+1 on that...
the cut out is perfect..not sure what the other member meant. as long as it doesnt go OVER the edge then it shouldnt have a problem with peeling...
also worth mentioning is that their customer service is REALLY good. mine came and they missed the back piece. emailed them, got back to me within a day and had the replacement mailed already. to my surprise when it came they also threw in an extra front piece.
thanks

did you look at how to install it before you bought it? I mean at such a inexpensive price I can easily see why someone wouldnt look at the installation instructions, but curious if you did.
Does this screen protector cover the whole screen like spg and could you include pic as well

Fantastic deal
I wish I didn't pull the trigger on the Zagg so fast, even at 50% off it was still $16.00 --- and then BOOM immediately after a couple of competing products for less... This one is PENNIES...
Fantastic find....... But I already bought the Zagg sheild.
Actually picked one up for my S3 already but like the one that I put on first. So I got another one plus one for my Tab 10.1. Five bucks total with free shippng. Hell of a deal. Figure I'll put one on the Tab first to see if it's worth yanking the one on my S3 off or not. We'll see!
Installed last night and very impressed. Had 3 small patches of spider web, 2 of which have gone on their own and the 3rd is hardly noticeable and I have a feeling this will go too.
There's a slight lift around the edges of the earpiece, I guess that's down to the glass on the phone not being completely flat.
I've had a Spigen tr and a Nillkin, neither of which went on as well as the Anker - although that could be just me having more practice!
Oleophobic coating is also working nicely, a few smears but overall very good indeed.
I'd definitely recommend one especially if you don't want to pay the premium for Spigen.

This is with a Spigen Ultra Hybrid..
Just got one of these myself. Its pretty good but my cruzerlite tpu case is not working well with this SP. Might need to get a different case

I wish this was available in Canada =(
Just put mine on yesterday and only ended up with one small bubble in the top left area of the phone and no spider webs (w00t w00t!)
I have it paired with a Spigen Slim Armor and it fits on JUST about right. Not sure if it's putting pressure on the glass screen but it looks like it fits perfectly. We'll see how long it lasts with it.
Texture on the glass screen is amazing. Neither I or my co-workers could feel any type of difference.
bought this and have small spiderweb at bottom.. still happy, very high quality.
hope sw goes away after time.
I agree, wish I could find these in canada. $15 bucks I'm willing to spend, $35 not so much.

I just installed mine tonight. I love it. Feels great and have no issues with the touch screen.
I could have lined up the protector a little better, but despite that I only have a couple a small air bubbles that should go away.
I highly recommend it! I just wish my cruzerlite case would still work with it. Oh well...

Shame about the cases not working well.. Spigen Hybrid is fine, not noticed any issues as yet.

How thick is this screen protector?
I'll take some later :good:
0.38mm I think, feels very nice though.. not too thick at all.
Many thanks!

I'm wondering when they are selling them again. I'm doubting between Anker or Mime Ghost screen. Which one is better? Anker offers lifetime warranty though!
Not sure, I've not used the Mime yet.. Only this, the Spigen and the Nillkin. The Anker has been the best so far, it's still on my phone and not chipped, which is an improvement!

i got one recently about 2 weeks ago, and for some reason i got a huge bubble spider looking web about half inch on the bottom of my screen and about 2 small spider webs which i didnt mind too much. I contacted them through amazon since supposedly they're bubble "free". This is the reponse i got
"Thanks for the response and sorry for the issue.
Actually we have had this issue reported and we are currently investigating it with our suppliers as it seems to be a batch issue. A replacement as much as I would have liked to make, it's not a viable option.
May I ask a second chance to make things right by issuing a refund? We will further process once we get your consent."
Ever since then the screen protector is not available, i didnt want a refund because i liked the screen protector but that half inch bubble its getting on my nerves. So i went ahead and accepted the refund will be trying Nilkin i guess.
I got this screen protector a couple weeks ago, too, and I have a big bubble at the bottom that hasn't gone away. I just called and they said they have made some manufacturing changes to the protector which should (hopefully) resolve the bubble problems. However, the new batch won't be ready for 1-2 weeks.
I am going to wait for a new one. They will call me when they are ready to be shipped.
PSA:
Available for pre-order now. I, personally, will be making do with my Amazon protector until reviews are out, but they appear to believe they've knocked the issues with lifting edges.

I'm not sure about the drop test, but i can tell you from experience with MULTIPLE replacements on two phones that, at least on the iPhone, the Sapphire glass was complete GARBAGE. I had mine replaced monthly through Zagg until finally i decided to take a loss and have the replace it with the standard Glass+ version. Surprisingly, the Glass+ was far superior. Dont buy into the sapphire hype. That thing was so riddled with scratches after a weeks use that it was hard to look at. As a matter of fact, i almost felt like looking at it was causing the scratches. They would be hard pressed to ever convince me that its a good product. If, and its a big IF this version adheres to the screen better than the other options, i might consider it, but again thats a big if.
You might want to check your local Best Buy, i noticed they had some stock of the Zagg Glass screen protectors at my local store in Savannah....
Total trash again, I just left T-Mobile and the guy tried to put on two of them. First one lifted on its own in the center , second one same thing clicking Center non-responsive joke don't waste your time guys
