Sgp oleophobic = FAIL!!!

I returned my ZAGG within the 45 day period to get this thinking it would not have the orange peel (which it doesn't) and thought the anti fingerprint would be nice but this thing shows all fingerprints! And when you do get smudges.. Which is all the time.. It's nearly impossible to get them off! It just spreads the oil/fingerprints around..
So disappointed!

Yep, I took mine off about 30 minutes after putting it on. Hate it.

i am getting some screen protectors from diztronics. i hope they are the same as i got with my tpu. awesome dry screen protection.

They don't have the same guarantee that ZAGG does do they?

probably not. but they're not as expensive either. nor are you paying for advertising. could be the same thing. never know these days.

go look around this forum. there are dozens of people, including myself with those skins. there is no orange peal and they do help with fingerprints.
you got a bad skin, or you got scammed because honestly, there are dozens of people here with this skin and no issues. including myself.

lol. i was just saying that diztronics screen protector is pretty good and it's a freebie with their tpu's. i ordered some more screen protectors for my nexus from them. i'm not a big fan of those phone shields. would rather run naked if i was going to do that and kind of feel ripped off for the price of them. tpu's, imo, off better protection, but i can see the value of a phone shield though. to each their own.

I've used Zagg and hated the orange peel/rubbery texture. It was really good for finger prints though.
These have far less orange peel and less rubbery. I've tried several others and found this one to be the best compromise.

Are these wet or dry??
I have a diztronic that I totally forgot about... Might try it... But I was thinking about returning that case since I don't like/use it..

I got the InvisibleShield about a week ago and did a PERFECT install but for some reason the darn thing kinda moves around a bit, i noticed today that the bottom part was a bit upwards and i could easily move it back down with my finger, what the heck?

That's what I see on the page.

Why does everyone expect a screen protector to be the savior of common problems of a screen? If you're getting a crystal clear dry application screen protector, expect it to attract fingerprints regardless if it's oleophobic. The only way around this is to get an anti-glare/anti-fingerprint screen. Yes there is a trade off but it goes both ways.
Crystal clear - keeps the quality of the screen but smudges and attracts fingerprints like crazy.
Anti-glare - gives you a grainy display but gets rid of the fingerprints.

I've ordered a case from Noreve already, but had an Otterbox on my HD2 and the protection was great... especially when you're drunk and likely to drop your phone :laugh:

Ok I bought myself one. Looks like it will be a cool case especially since you can use the holster as a kick stand.

That was a selling point for me as well. I love my ballistic sg maxx, particularly due to the less bulky holster....so it will probably be my go 2 when leaving the house. When hanging at the house I will make good use of the kickstand feature on the otter holster. My only wish would be that it could be used in portrait mode. I had an otter on my last phone and NEVER knew it had a kickstand until a few days ago. :banghead:
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

Does this have a belt clip (deal breaker for me)? Also, how is the screen protector? Do you have to use it? Thanks.

Yes, it comes with a belt clip. It's a separate holster that stays on your belt and the phone clips into it. It can also be used as a kickstand if you take it off your belt and 'lock' the clip open.
If it's anything like the HD2 Otterbox the screen protector is good, but mine didn't hold up well to repeatedly removing the phone from the case, it developed blotchy parts where it was sticking right to the screen and other parts weren't. Eventually I removed the screen protector (it's not designed to be removable, so you can't put it back in if you do remove it).

dang. That is a good deal. I bought a Glacier one from Amazon yesterday for $35 I think. Im kind of nervous if the case is legit though...
This is the one I bought, anyone buy from "ITX Wireless" before?
NEVERMIND: I cant post links yet, but seller is ITX Wireless on Amazon, hopefully its real.

Thanks OP for the link! Just bought myself the Glacier to go along with my white SGS3.

Bought! Thanks, nice deal. I just happened to break my case today unfortunately...so this worked out well. Went with Glacier.

Thanks for posting this excellent deal. I've used Smartphonepedia.com recently. I ordered my Galaxy S3 Body Glover tpu case from them. It arrived extremely fast and if the case is knockoff, I honestly couldn't tell. It came in retail packaging and the product shows no signs of being 'cheap' or 'knockoff'.
I definitely did not hesitate on taking advantage of this deal. I ordered the glacier colored case and even though it's on back order, i'm perfectly fine with waiting considering the cost savings and besides my Body Glove case from this company is holding me over just fine. Thanks for this find again!

[Q] Did anyone try those impact resistant screen protectors?

Hello there
Did anyone here actually try one of those screen protectors that claim to be impact resistant? The reason I am asking is because a couple of days ago I accidentally hit my phone while sleeping and it fell on its screen (unfortunately the flip wasn't closed, as in the screen had nothing above it, although I don't think it would have made much difference) and the LCD broke from the inside and basically died. I replaced it at Samsung Service Center and it cost me an arm and a leg so I am searching for accessories that can protect the screen. I don't want to invest in an Otterbox cover or something as I'd like to keep the flip cover which is awesome, which is why the impact resistant screen protector seems like a viable option IF it actually does what it claims. I Googled it and I found a lot of videos showing how it works but then again I don't really trust most of the videos I've watched as there is a lot of controversy to them.
I was buying a regular screen protector yesterday and the guy told me about those impact resistant ones (very expensive to say the least) but I didn't want to go for it before I ask and research.
Thanks for your time.

What screen protector do you prefer zagg or ghost armour

I haven't heard of ghost armour, but I prefer spigen or realook. I have a zagg invisible shield on my N7, and it's awful. It feels tough.
You should put this in the Accessories forum.

Neither, SGP all the way.

I got the Spigen slim armor case and GLAS.tR screen protector this time around. Expensive for a screen protector, but this is a $650 phone after all. So much more luxurious than the plastic protectors... I don't think I could ever go back to one of those.

These aren't a bad option. I have use them since the Sensation with no complaints, only problem I ever had was with the Note 2's S-Pen leaving trails on the protector.
I personally buy the 10x $1.79 screenies and wet apply them. Come out great and it's not big deal to replace them.

first off i dont blame anyone for using a screen protector with the prices of some of these phones today.
but personally i stopped using screen protectors all together,it came to me one day as i was looking at my phone and seeing all the scratches on the screen protector,i was like why do i pay $25 for a screen protector so i dont get scratches on my screen and in reality all it does is make my view look scratched easier and never get to fully enjoy my shiny new screen.i understand that you can just keep replacing them and it can keep your screen looking new right up to the end of your contract but at that time it will not matter to me as i will be getting a new phone anyways and can care less about if it has any scratches when bestbuy gives me $8 of credit for the trade in lol.
also i must say these newer glasses they are using on there screens are impressive i stopped using screen protectors when i got my S3, and after using it for a few days shy of a year i still had 0 scratches but was always careful to not put it in my pocket with my keys and all that.i just got my S4 and plan to do the same with this one and from what i read this one has even better glass,while i dont think my sprint mogul would have lasted a week without screen protection back in the day these current phones really dont seem to need them.
but to put in my 2¢ i believe i was using screen protectors made by 3M, im sure they where not the best but they worked pretty good for about $15 each.

It's the first glass one I've ever tried, and I love it. I got it directly from Spigen at spigen.com. They have a lower-cost replacement plan in case you break it, so I thought it would be good to buy direct in case I ever need to use that.

The Glas.TR was $35 through Amazon IIRC, not a cheap screen protector, but easy enough application, and smooth as the "naked" screen

The generic tmobile screen protector is pretty good.

Im gonna have to pass. I made the mistake of buying the Slimline for my OG N7 and it was terrible. Left marks on the screen and practically fell apart. And I hardly even used the flippin case. Only put it on when I was traveling about. I had it for about 5 months, and by the 4rth month it was already fraying at the edges.

I had the same problems with the slim case. I have had the revolution for my nexus 7 for a long time and it's in Greddy shape.

Thanks for the update. Any idea how OK can get them to honor that price instead of the $20 I already ordered out at?
As far as the cases go I really, really like the one that I have for my nexus 7. I was looking for a defender case but I wasn't about to spend $70 on one. I haven't really been happy with defender cases lately anyways. After buying one for my note 2 I'll never buy one again.
The revolution case is defender like, can be had for less than half the cost and the button press is easy and it feels good in hand. I bought one of the first runs and it had the blurry screen protector. I contacted poetic and they sent me two replacements..... It took a month or so to get them made amnd to me but they made good. While I was waiting I just knocked the one out and installed a stock on one on the screen.
Anyways ever since I got the new front its been on, clear and nice and I don't think twice about letting my toddler use the tablet.

That rainbow effect never goes away either. My original nex7 case still has it. It's not bad once the screen turns on.
This case is way better than the original case. only thing I don't like is the horizontal stand, it leans back farther than the original nexus 7 case.
