Does anyone have this. I am currently looking to get a better screen protector than the one that I got from verizon and this looks like a good option.
So does anyone have any experience with this type of screen protector and any pros and cons about it?
Assuming you're getting this for anti-fingerprint purposes, the SGP Ultra fine will do you wonders. It does prevent fingerprints from getting on to the screen. However, it slightly compromises the display a little. You will see little artifacts from the light of the display going through the screen protector, since there are layers in there used for the anti-fingerprint.
Don't get this if you want ultra clear display, or if you don't care much about having fingerprints. If you want ultra clear, try their Ultra Crystal Clear.
I've been using it so far for about 2 weeks.. Amazing for anti-fingerprint purposes..
One of the best screen protectors I have ever had..
Definitely recommended..
I've had the ultra fine for about a week and so far it's great. The clarity of the screen is definitely compromised, but you don't notice it after a bit. One of the best things is your fingers don't drag/catch like they can on naked glass or crystal style protectors. It just sort of glides across the surface.
what do you guys think about the anti-glare on this screen protector?
I have ultra fine and i like it, but there is alot of glare outdoors, but it does its job, i see no fingerprints on the screen.
as Purgatoiry said you definitely slide across the screen with this screen guard.

huh, it is supposed to be anti glare...
Dunno what to say, because of the matte finish, when the sun is on it its hard to see.
just my 2c of course, and even with the glare, i still wont use any other screen protector.
Wouldn't use anything besides a Steinheil.

I had one of the earlier anti-fingerprint protectors on my incredible and I noticed the same thing. I think the problem is that the sunlight gets diffused in the screen which makes it hard to see through the glare.
Is the Crystal Clear smooth like the anti print one?

Crystal Clear is like glass. It's probably the best option if you want to protect your screen but want to make it feel like nothing is there. I have one on mine and people, who play with my phone, don't realize there's a protector on it until they see the seam for the protector.

While I do like Swyping, I find that it becomes difficult as one's hands get a tiny bit sweaty or even dirty. You fingers seem to stick to the screen which makes Swyping fairly difficult and almost impossible to be accurate. While I do try to be as clean as possible, sometimes your hands get sweaty for whatever reasons such as if you wear gloves or keep them in your pockets for a while.
I am just wondering if there is a screen protector out there that allows for a totally smooth surface, despite any sweat, dirt or other things that could be on your fingers? I recently got the Realooks and while they are very clear and does a good job resembling the feeling of the bare screen, it has the same issues while Swyping. There may even be a little bit more of a finger resistance with the Realooks on.
I was thinking and thought that maybe a screen protector with a matte finish would be ideal for Swyping. Matte screen protectors are smooth and most are anti-fingerprint which I assume would be very good for Swyping.
Has anyone had any experience with a matte finish screen protector while Swyping?
Any suggestions overall?
i use an anti-glare screen protector from Clarivue (.com) that is matte finish and has a very smooth surface that makes using swype very comfortable and easy. I used clarivue on my N1 as well when i had swype, and i recently got the captivate and i couldnt live without the smooth surface from the screen protector so i had to buy another pack. it is anti scratch and anti smudge, although from what ive seen, it does affect the clarity of the amoled to a certain extent.
I use whatever screen protector that my AT&T store sold - works well with swype.
i have something similar to the invisashield body shield but i cant remember who made mine. i ordered off ebay an in came in an envelope with no branding. like someone with a laser etcher/cutter got a hold of the material and made it in his garage. it has the typical invisishield orange peel look but feels like it has natural oils in it. it is always very slick and doesn't show finger prints. it never feels greasy or sticky or dry. just slightly oily but i have heard that's not typical of the invisishield brand so it might not be the same material. if i come across the add ill post it.
also antiglare protectors are good for that but the ones i bought had bad adhesive on the edges, also i find that anti glare have a good amount of reflection to them and are only better than hard plastic protectors that can be milky, i can read through an invisishield in sunlight better than an anti glare and no screen protector at all is better than that.

Agreed.
Plus these screen protectors cover the entire front of the phone. Can't even tell it's on there. I've seen others that only cover the display area.

For $10 and you can go buy them locally, it was ideal. Seems to work just as well as without the protector.

I've used these Steinheil screen protectors before on my Eris and liked them. It seems they have additional ones for the TB so I just wanted to get people's feedback on them and how they felt. Like how well is the oleophobic? (haha).
I want to get rid of the fingerprint and finger oils but keep screen clarity, so has anyone found one that is a decent compromise?
http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/...-screen-protector-steinheil-ultra-series.html
I have the oleo One on my phone while the screen is clear and great clarity it does show some smudges but they wipe away easily. If you want a improvement in finger prints and want to keep clarity this is the one as the other one takes away much more screen clarity but eliminates most prints but the thunderbolt screen is too beautiful in my opinion and I rather keep the clarity so the oleo ones work best for me
I got the ultra crystal one. This is my first time using steinheil. I had it on my tbolt for about a month. Just today, I noticed I got a scratch on the screen protector. I don't know how that happened. It is usually in my left pocket with nothing else in it. So I may have let it touch something else when on the table. Kinda sad about it, good thing when you purchase the protectors is comes with 2. I hope it didn't cut through to the glass.
I got the oleophobic one but I could not get them on without getting a lot of dust trapped behind them. As soon as separating them from the backing there was dust all over it. I had to send them back. Got a ghost armor instead. Better than my ZAGG. I like wet application screen protectors.

what's the texture like vs the steinheil? (Vs the ghost armor)
Go with the Ultra Fine's. Had them and they were awesome. Decided to try out the Oleophobic's and the fingerprints are killing me. Might as well go without the screen protector, have to wipe it just as much.
Most likely will be buying another set of Ultra Fine's very soon.
How much was the clarity reduced with the unless fines?

I'd say percentage wise, maybe 10-15% but to me it was well worth it. I really hate wipping the oleo's constantly, finger prints are just as bad as if you didn't have them at all. You could tell it has the matte finish, but the screen still looked very clear, just basically looks like a slight tint.
Love the Ultra Fine. Been using them on the Bolt from day one. It does reduce visability and the 10 - 15% estimate from gregnice37 sounds right.
I just put the ultra crystal on my TB yesterday and love it. Smudges but easily wiped away and I'd rather not have the decrease in contrast from the others.
Despite what other threads have said in the past, the fit is perfect...there is barely a 1mm gap on one side, and that's my fault...still cant tell it's there.

I saw a hint on another website to avoid getting dust on your dry-application screen protectors. Go into your bathroom, turn on hot water in both the tub and sink. close the door and let it run for 10 minutes. Now, go back in and put the screen protector on. This helps to eliminate the dust from the air and it won't get on your screen.
I just got the Ultra Crystal protectors today. This is the best and clearest screen protector I've had. You truly can not tell there's a protector on. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good screen protector.

Yeah someone else on here said that. I'll try to remember that if I ever get dry-application screen protectors again. But for now I'm very happy with my ghost armor. Goes on like a ZAGG (what I used previously) but there is literally no orange-peel look to it. All my ZAGG invisiSHILEDs had that look.

That estimate might even be a little bit low for the ultra fine, but regardless even 2% is too much for me. It was nice to not have as many fingerprints, but I just can't sacrifice screen clarity. That's just me.

You will not sacrifice clarity with the Ultra Crystal protector. No orange peel effect, no rainbow effect, and most of all crystal clear.

You kidding right? There's no loss in clarity.... just take it off and go naked and report back in a month. you'll have scratches on your phone. how's that for loss of clarity.

Yeah they are high quality, had the ultra fine for my Eris. I don't mind slightly losing clarity in exchange for no/less fingerprints.
Has anyone found any privacy screen protectors that are good quality for the TB?
I just installed an ultra crystal on mine. It's great! 100% better than the cheap Verizon one I had on before it.
I hear alot of good things about SGP and was wondering which choice will give me the following in order of importance.
1. smooth surface for easy finger gliding
2. Thin material
3. Non-matte screen
4. anti smudge
Thanks guys, im confused with all the options

Cool thanks for the tip. Does anyone know if its possible to get the whole body protection, but with a crystal screen protector? I don't see that option
The crystal clear works really well for my SGSI, almost smudge free though someone with really sharp fingernails--I think--managed to scratch the top right corner of the SP. The same protector on my SGSII seems to attract a lot more smudges, for some strange reasons. But I've tried enough protectors with the SGSI to stick to the crystal clear. To me, it has the best balance between clarity, viewing angles and protection.

yes..it has the smooth touch feeling 100%.no other protector has this .
.screen looks like there is no protector on..the sp name is correct..
very easy to install..
other sgp protectors are better only on fingerprints and smudges(but even on that the crystal clear is fine..much better than other clear protectors
where can we find this crystal one?
edit: you probably talking about this one: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/sgp-ultra-crystal-screen-protector-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-p30581.htm
Buy it straight from their web site:
http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/...amsung-galaxy-s2-screen-protector-series.html
My oleophobic one arrived this friday. Packaged very well. The shipping was quick. Took 12 days and thats coming through south african customs which can be a real *****
so how is the feeling of the protector? Does it slow down the touch operation?
you propose the oleophobic one? not the crystal?
I have the ultra crystal, a great screen protector, and pretty easy to put on.
It gets smudged a lot more than the screen without it on, but the feel is still good.
My keys ran across the screen, and left what looked like a scratch, I panicked, then just wiped it off, so far so good!
Doesn't seem anyone got the full body protection?
ultra optics is the best

Ultra optics get dirty after a few weeks, and are hard to clean. They also make a zip sound when you run your finger on it.
See my thread here for the Ultra Crystal (aka "Crystal Clear" -- I assume) SP from SGP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1219115#
I am awaiting for its arrival tomorrow, but it seems to be the best if you want: clarity & protection (thickest of all the SGP SPs). However, from the reviews, it tends to be a fingerprint magnet.
Hi,
I finally got SGP Ultraclear screen protector and installed it successfully last night. It is very clear and screen looks same as before. But I found a few issuea which I didn't expect.
First, I can easily see a lot of finger prints. It was not noticeable when there was no protector but now I can clearly see it.
Second I also can see rainbow effect from side view. It is hard to see from normal angle though.
I may take off this protector later. I am wondering if this is normal.

gorilla glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.
and the galaxy note doesnt have gorilla glass. it has a form of hardened glass, but its not gorilla glass. or so ive read in one of the threads here.
personally, i prefer to have a screen protector for those times you accidentally drop your phone on something or you drop something on your phone. i cant stand scratches on displays since they tend to refract light and annoy the hell out of me.
i think u should go with SGP ultra optics screen protector , i havent tried it personally but people been saying good things about it.
what concerns me about it is that does it affect the display an way or another ? grainy effects ?
for the moment i have a Brando ultra clear screen protector , its very good and clear but its a fingerprint magnet , supposedly with SGP ulta optics u should get ultra clariness and no fingerprints.
would love some feedback from someone who already tested it
cheers

highly recommend! It may be the best anti fingerprint protector, tried the anti fingerprint from SGP on SG2, many "color spots", ultra optics has NO "color spots" produce, of coz it not as clear as the ultra crystal, but really worth it.

some places mention it has gorilla glass, some doesnt.
its not listed on the samsung website and its not listed on the corning website so i'd say we cant confirm or deny it. all we do know is that the galaxy nexus isnt using gorilla glass either, its using hardened glass. so the best we can hope for is that the galaxy note is also using hardened glass.

I purchased the same product from Amazon. It is really clear and does fit the whole screen, even has a cut out for the home button. Went on relatively easily without the need for a solution. Cant even tell it on there.
It's not a solution aided style protector, if you add solution you will ruin it.
The trick is being in a clean room with no air flow, then you can have as many goes as you want without getting too much dust, and what you do get you can remove with the dust removing sticker.
I got 3 Screen Guard protectors with a TPU S-Case from eBay. I really had no interest in the protectors, but I like it a lot better than I thought I would. Fingerprints don't wipe off completely but they seem to blend in with the plastic. You almost can't see them anyway when the screen is on. I see no rainbow effect and there is no image distortion unless the screen gets too oily.

Cracks me up every time I read something like this
I used to be very careful up til the day my wife got a screen protector installed by a guy in the Beijing subway (yeah, anything can be done at those subway exits). And believe me, it is windy, and dusty! Those who may know Beijing know how true that is
Result really is perfect....
Sorry don t mean to offend, just funny to see how good care we put into it and seeing how one guy sitting in a dusty, windy area can pull it off just as well
Cheers
No offense taken
But, keep in mind that the dude in the subway is experienced, it takes him 15 seconds prob to clean + fit + charge you.
Where as normal user who have done it maybe 3 - 5 times, will need more time!

Its a great screen protector, plus they give you two. Its thick, clear and so far doesn't seem to cause any display issues. The fingerprints wipe off easy enough.
any chance you can show us the cut out? is it a 4 edge hole at the bottom instead a U shape?
These screen protectors are amazing. Even though I've had it on my phone for like 15 minutes, it doesn't attract any of the grease on my hands like on the RealLook screen protector and on the bare screen. The only real problem is how hard it is to take the screen protector if you have dust in it, like I do. It's extremely clear, if it wasn't for the dust that's stuck under the screen you wouldn' be able to tell that there's a screen protector on it.
What's your favorie screen protector?

There is no glare on it never tried matte I don't like matte screen protectors. It doesn't feel like anything is on it. It is like your touching the screen without a screen protector on.
I have the Realook on and genuinely looks like nothings on there. I just hate how easy the oil gets on there. I thought SGP SP doesn't have the Oleophobic for our phone.

Oil gets on it... just not as much as the Reallook did. This screen protector looks much better than reallook to me. Reallook is SLIGHTLY thinner than this screen protector, but it still looks better to me.
I've had an SGP screen protector on my phone for a for a few months now and it's pretty awesome. I like it a lot more than those softer vinyl type screen protectors. it feels almost identical to the naked screen and will take a fair bit of abuse without scratching.
