Screen protector video of Skinomi. Bought off from Amazon for $18.95 free S/H. highly recommend one. why risk damaging your beautiful 10.1'' screen??
http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi-TechS...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1299374686&sr=8-1
Why not just go to the skinomi website use the "get25" that gives you 25% off and free shipping?? Got mine screen protector only for 11.25.
What I want to know is what kind of stand is that?? Looks like a generic picture frame stand.
Good application. You got some cahunas turning it on so soon though. The glass isn't as flush as the iPad so the risk of water getting in is real. I'm anal about my gadgets so I let all devices sit for 18 hrs face down on a lint free rag to ensure zero damage. Best to do before bed that way you aren't antsy
So what are the pros/cons of the Skinomi. Looks like the application went smoothly for you...either you've done that a few times before or you're just naturally gifted. lol

Found it thanks!!!...Wish it was a widget instead of a LP tho...
Anyone know where I could get an easle/stand like that?
Trying to debate which screen protector to get. I don't know if I want another Zagg or try skinomi or Steinhil.
Does the Skinomi reduce the glare?
I bought the silver carbon fiber one from their site I can't wait to put it on

I put the Skinomi on today. It is not an exact fit border to border, minor gap. It does reduce glare in my opinion. It is still a gloss finish, but not as reflective as the mirror finish glass.
I have used Zagg in the past. It seems the same to me in both look and install. I am happy with the clarity as well, which was my main concern.
Fingerprints don't seem to be nearly an issue any more. Money well spent for me.

If you had to guess, how much of a gap are we talking about? like 1MM on each side or more than that?
One other question...does the skin float on the glass so that you can slide it into position for a few seconds before the adhesive starts to bond? In the video it looks like it was applied in 1 motion which requires a bit more skill imo.

From what Ive seen in videos, and read from ppl it definately depends on how much of the spray you want to apply.
If you are installing it and want to pull it up, then just dont scrape out all the solution till the end. Then when you pull it up, all you have to so is spray the screen protector some more, and try again. So, it seems that the liquid solution is the buffer between the screen and the protector
The gap on the sides of the glass if centered is about 1.5mm, or the thickness of a penny.

I ordered the black carbon+screen protector set yesterday. I read on amazon that people were complaining about the "bad" fit as well. When I look at other screen protectors they have a slight gap as well... We'll see! I'm excited!

I ordered this and after applying it I have multiple bubbles and a peice of sediment in the middle of the screen It looked perfect at first when I finished, then I looked at it 5-10 mins later and was disgusted by my failure.
Take your time applying it! I found the techskin easier to apply than the screen protector. Op makes it look easy.

Are there any protectors out there that retain the bare glass feel? I don't care about finger prints or glare, just don't want any scratches I've fallen in love iwth how smooth the screen is
Yeah, I do have the same question. Digging through the 'Best Brand for screen protectors?' and can not find clear answer.
I even do not care to pay more for the ultra clear and same touch feel.
People, you did bought a lot of different brands. Could you please consolidate the feelings after week(s) of usage, anyone?
I have the PhantomSkinz on my Captivate, and I have a zagg on my zune HD. I also tried a ClearFreak on the Captivate for a week or so before the PhantomSkinz came in. Long story short, phantomskinz is a bit better than zagg, and both of them are much much better than the clearfreak. I wrote up a post comparing the three and posted pics here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7420035&postcount=22

SKINOMI.
Though you can feel the edges of the case protector, the screen protector is beautiful.
It is something like .08mm thick and adheres completely flush. I am a new fan of skinomi and love the picture/screen quality with it.

Hmm I will have to look into that I ordered a Seidio ultra clear last night (2 pack) so maybe I'll do a comparison
I use Realook on mine. It smudges up pretty bad but when its clean it looks fantastic. There is no adhesive so you can pull it up pretty easily and you get the standard two in a pack. The camera lens cover is a bit of a pain, the thing is so small its hard to keep fingerprints off the back side when putting it on but I got it on in the end.
Sorry to go off topic but did anyone purchase the screen protector from Samsung directly?

That's a good question. It sounds overpriced if you need only one kind, e.g. clear transparent. But if it's great it may worth it to buy. I would like to get a feedback.
I just got my two realook screens today. They do smudge easily but its not any worse then without the protector. It went on easily and I have one small bubble on the upper left corner which I am sure will go away in a day. Overall I am very happy with it, and for $11 for two shipped to my house, I couldn't pass it up.

How do they feel compared to the stock glass screen?
I had an Invisible Sheild full body skin...didn't like it. It wasn't super clear and was a little sticky, I just swapped my phone at AT&T today and they talked me into the screen covers they sell, I guess its new? 3 for $10, so far I like it 100x better than invisible shield, much clearer and closer to the glass feel!
Just got my Seidio protectors in yesterday They were really easy to install and left zero bubbles that were hard to remove. The clarity is awesome - I can't tell that there's a protector installed by looking at it. The surface does seem a bit less smooth than the glass, but I can live with it!

I bought two Skinomi's from Amazon (thinking I might screw up first installation). sure enough, I did screw it up first time, leaving big bubbles. But the second try went down perfectly (you gotta be very careful not to let fluid get into edges of phone during installation).
But ... in the end I found it felt like too much drag when swiping the screen compared to the naked screen. Difficult decision - I'll be really pee'd off if I scratch it, but I'm going naked for now - I'm just gonna be super careful.
I picked up some of the Skinguardz and they definitely have a rubbery feel.
I ordered SGP. Will let you know how it works when it will be delivered.

That is what I got at my local ATT store. They are alright, but at least they are super clear.
Apparently Martin Fields now has Captivate protectors in stock too. I've never used them personally, but I've read a lot a reviews that people swear by them -- a bit pricey though.

Just passing along the info.
Just got the realook protector from amazon in today and replaced the gadgetguard I was never satisfied with. Can't believe the difference- looks and feels like nothings there. And the install was leagues easier and foolproof.

after I went to phantomskinz, ghostarmor, boxwave, realook, bodyguardz and SGP websites, SGP is the most attractive one to me... please let us know how does it feel after you attach it! =)
and say no to bestskinever or invisshield/zagg if you want a smooth feel screen protector, i have them both for my cellphones and camera, which is very nice, but i dont think it will be nice if i put it on my touchscreen devices...
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?

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.

I just wanted to share with everyone that the Spectre Tempered Glass Screen Protector is now shipping.
I've never had this type of screen protector on my phone before, and it's a premium, but I'm even more excited and impressed after seeing their installation video. I'm sooo ready to get this cheapy screen protector off my phone that bubbled up. Hopefully this will be the end all solution to that problem and I'll report back!

[Update: 08/07/12]
I received mine today. I posted pictures below. I have a headache and I'm sleepy, so I will post a brief Q&A because I've been reading and I know there are some questions folks have been wondering that I can touch up on w/o a delay and I'll give it to you straight.
Q: How does the home button feel?
A: The home button is notably depressed. It operates as normal. Maybe a little awkward at first, but it's no big deal really. And to those thinking you are going to need to buy a raised home button, or a sticker..or something like that..you folks are going overboard with your imagination...bring it down a notch
Q: How was installation?
A: Very very simple and bar none the easiest screen protector I've ever installed. You see how fast he did it in the install video above. It's just like that. A few seconds and your done .. no waiting for nothing to dry, etc. etc...
Q: How does it fit in a case?
A: I have a clear gel tpu case on mine. My case does *not* fit over the screen protector. The edges are sitting pretty much flush with the top edge of the screen protector. I tried pulling it over, it was a no go. What I found is that this creates stress on the screen protector and caused it to lift at the top. I'll be looking into getting a different case to use with this screen protector. Maybe one that is a two piece, top and bottom section? The adhesive seems to be pretty good though. I was able to take my phone out of the case, push the screen protector back down. And I didn't have the issue for the day that I was using it.
Q: How about those *dots* I've been hearing about on the screen.
A: Bottomline, you'll notice them. When the screen is off or black, they are very visible. When the screen is on and you're holding the phone away..you're probably arn't going to notice so much. When you are holding the phone closer to you..they appear like little pixel crystals sparkling in the background. That's the best way I can explain it. Do I find it to be a deal breaker? Absolutely not..you'll just have to deal with it if you decide you want this screen protector.
Q: But the screen of the Samsung Galaxy S III is curved, and this is a glass screen protector that is straight, how does this affect the way it sits on the phone?
A: This is the biggest non-issue. You won't notice anything irregular here. So let that one go..
Overall, the screen protector looks great, there's no loss of sensitivity. [Perhaps even a better sensitivity then if you had any other type of screen protector on ur phone. It feels great.. after me typing the last 20mins.] I'll play with it for a few days and if there's something else needing to be touched up on I will .. otherwise I'd say it's a good purchase based on my initial impression. I happily took off my *wet* applied screen protector that was creating an eyesore because it was all bubbled up and applied this one.
So there you go!
And Please .. Press the thanks button if I've helped you at all..
That actually looks pretty impressive - My only concern would be having the home button be even more recessed. I'm already not too happy with how much effort it requires to press the home button. I know .4mm isn't much, but it's still less than without the protector.
I know .. me too ... but now that I see it written, versus having it said .. you know .4mm ... that's like next to nothing. But we'll see soon!
Yeah I ordered it one month ago, been rocking a cheapo xtremeguard screen protector waiting

I guess the only reason i didn't like it was because it messed with the usage of the S-Pen. Also it made the screen somewhat less responsive and inaccurate at times.

Lol, what's not to get? The whole idea of a screen protector is to protect the glass built into the phone (not easily replaced). If the protector gets scratched, that means it did it's job and should be replaced. At 8h it's far harder than even the most premium plastic screen protectors, and barely more expensive.
Seems promising but, I'll wait for some reviews before I'd seriously consider it.
I paid $27 including tax for a Zagg HD that performs in the $10-$15 protector range. This is $2 or so more delivered. I'm in.

I know itll get scratched, but its glass, when it gets scratched, its there, it will not heal itself like other screen protectors and this is not just those cheap ones that you can just change. And i do use use a screen protector on mine. Im just saying, for that price when it gets scratched, its going to stay there. But i know itll protect the screen underneath, and thats good. But for that price, changing it when it gets brutally scratched is a pain in the ass.
Is it really coming out?? So interested in but not sure how it's gonna adhere the curved edge. I know there are a lot of "curved" screen protector for now, but isn't glass too rigid for making it? If it works fine, I would love to buy one, but it's still risky to invest more than $30 for screen protector.

I think your main point here is really price. All screen protectors can get scratched, and when they do you replace them. This is certainly a "premium" product, and yes you have to pay more. This product certainly should be more scratch resistant than other screen protectors, so in theory you would need to replace it less often. More importantly to me, it is a real glass experience and feel, and should be perfectly clear.
Basically you are paying more for a more durable, clearer, easier to install, high quality screen protector.
Personally I would be interested if the quality is as advertised, I will wait for some ginny pigs to report their findings first though.

Why would this scratch less than other screen protectors? From my experience the GLASS screen tends to scratch easier than a screen protector. A good screen protector rather. So why wouldnt you buy a good screen protector that does not easily scratch vs a piece of glass that would scratch just as easily as the screen plus is more expensive than the other types of screen protectors

The hardness scale goes from 1H to 10H with diamonds being the top dog. This product is marketed as 8H tempered glass meaning only (9-10)H stuff can scratch it. Regular glass is 5.5H.
Just saw these online. Was wondering anyone has used or is using one of these.

That being said, I would be willing to help some people out if they wanted to order.
Just found North American website

The shock absorb demonstration video had me in tears, god that is awesome and hilarious at the same time LOL
Wish I could see one on the galaxy s3.
Seems interesting. Is this whole body protection or just the screen? 30 bucks for just the screen seems a bit much. For that price I'd be more likely to get a glass screen protector.

It is only for the screen.
It is about 20 bucks here, and I live in Korea so I am getting free shipping
I ordered one yesterday, so should get here on Monday. Ill post some picks. No videos though, I could never even think about doing that to my phone!
Well, finally got er on.
Pros
-protects the screen very well
-covers most of the screen, leaving only the speak and above, and the camera hole not covered. (and the button I suppose).
-feels smooth
Cons
-gets marked up very easily (just using the applicator left marks on it.....the plastic thingy)
-feels kind of rubbery to the touch (although it is smooth).
-still has a bit of a rainbow effect......a bunch of little rainbow pixels that I have been trying to get rid of.
I don't know what I want to do....there are marks on the screen already, but this thing really protects and covers the whole screen.
Just looking at it again, and it seems to be peeling up the sides like all the other ones.
Im going to leave it until morning and see what I wake up to.....
Hmm... are you using a case as well? Maybe I should have waited before I ordered mine

Any further information on those Buff covers? They look tempting imho... but testers should report .P
Sorry, to update....
It is a very sweet protector!
The sides settled down after a day or two and no problems at all.
Screen is clear and finger prints are not a problem.
Recommended for anyone that wants some extra protection.
One small problem....if you have a case that comes up and over the edges of the screen, you may have some problems. My gel case would cause the sides to peel up, do I'm using a slim case now

Got a different case because my diztronic was not having this protector at all.. works great.
Problem with mine is, I didn't align perfectly, so sides are a little off. But I spent too damn long applying it and had many dust problems, so I said screw it.(Also botched my first one -_-)
How is the screen clarity compared to not having the screen protector? I've tried the Zagg stuff and although nice protection, orange peel look and feel of plastic really got to me after a while.

I find it's somewhat similar to a ZAGG, not as orangy, but definitely not as smooth as naked either. You notice it the first time, but I just glide now that I got used to it. This obviously isn't the answer you were looking for, but it's the best I could do @[email protected]

Actually it does help, looking closely at your pictures, I can see where the buff protector starts comparing it to the white of the phone, there is a slight tint, so your right it is not as orange but still there. But I might sacrifice the smoothness since the buff protection from shocks is amazing, and from the number of cracked screens I have been hearing about with this phone, I think I may need it.

Glad I could help bro, I didn't apply the screen protector too well also. It seems to be more on the right side of the phone, but yeah.. I just got too tired man. I iced my first one, and the second one took equally as long and painful due to dust cleaning. Sometimes I just can't win! I'm happy with it though. Now I know my phone can take a brick at it, kinda.
Hey guys! Just thought I'd share my experience trying to hunt down the best screen protector for my Galaxy S10e.
After trying about 4 different glass protectors all with pinch hole camera cut outs and being dis satisfied with the look and feel of the edges I decided to try one that came with a solid glass that covered the front entirely. It also had a super thin black boarder that I wasn't entirely convinced I was going to like.
Turns out it is AMAZING!! Phone looks literally as if there is nothing on. Edges are completely smooth so no more scratchy feeling whenever I slide my finger to use the edge display or gesture navigations.
Totally felt I had to share this! You can search for it on Amazon! :highfive:

Share the name and link maybe? Is it case friendly? Do the black edges cover up some screen or leave everything visible as before?
The same?

Sorry wasn't sure if I could share a link i just added it to the OP. Yes it is case friendly and I belive the black border covers a super small part of the screen that is a fraction of a millimeter. When using edge lighting all you need to do is increase the thickness a bit.
However it does not get in the way at all and from my experience it is way better than other screen protectors I have tried that have transparent as they reflect the light at angles. Also the borders look terrible during the day, you can clearly trace it with your eye. This one literally reflects no light and looks like if there is nothing on it at all (the black border provides this effect)
Furthermore, this one comes with a plastic frame that makes placement and alignment such a breeze!
Hope that helps!

Yea that's it!
Another good one is the tempered glass from Skinomi. It also comes with a install frame and they're 7.99 for a three pack. Look great, install quickly and cover pretty spot on.

Is the amFilm full glue? (not only on the sides?)

I think Skinomi is regular plastic, spray. Maybe I missed it but I can't find temper glass made by Skinomi.

If anyone wants to order from Aliexpress, CHYI brand always made great screen protectors, either hidro, film, tempered... I might try them out on the s10E soon.

Tried this because of your recommendation (and after trying 5 different "perfect" protectors) - it is really great and totally worth the money! Thanks, pal
Got the Nillkin glass protector -> https://www.nillkin-case.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=6425
It's covering the whole display, with black borders around it(they eat 1-2mm from the actual display).
Very happy about it. Bought it at a locat shop with about 20 euros.

I Love this screen saver
amFilm for Samsung S10e by TechMatte
Very easy install with alignment tool, nice squeegee tool got all the bubbles out. Looks excellent after install was complete. Will update in a few days to see how it look after a few days of use but so far so good. Was probably the easiest Tempered glass screen saver I have ever installed, very satisfied
Bought this exact screen protector because I wanted something inexpensive and without a cam cutout (I'd rather deal with an additional layer of glass on a front camera I anyway never use than with dust piling up in a tiny cutout). Well, I don't share OP's enthusiasm. A corner started to shatter appart after only a week, and I didn't even drop it or anything. It was in the same pocket as my lighter which might be the culprit but c'mon, if it can't handle a lighter and turns into a H8 shards dispenser that soon, how is it supposed to prevent scratches on the screen ?
Another corner got damaged after a 50cm (metric FTW) drop on wooden floor and I decided to get rid of it altogether.
It's cheap, it's easy to apply, it looks good (although the black border overlaps the screen by maybe half a millimeter), and it might last a bit longer for someone less careless than I am, still not a viable long term option according to me.

Sucks you had a bad experience with it. So I ended up reaching out to them after myself finding my screen protector had cracked and they sent me another one for free.
It probably isn't the strongest screen protector but it's cheap, easy to install, and looks great! It's TRUE the protectors with the hole punch are a haven for dust and just look hideous in general.
If you stumble across a better screen protector I'd love to hear about it! Perhaps I'll try it out next if this one tanks on me again
Cheers!

I should receive one from LK in a couple days, let's see how it holds. I cannot ask for a replacement, I'm french and they offer replacement only in america, but this time there's 3 in the package.
Does the amFilm protector black edge cover visible part of the screen like Nilkin does? Nilkin protector black sides cover also OLED visible screen (half mill on each side).

Yes it does. I have one installed now and it cuts off a sliver on each side
