i bought the one from verizon. its 3 pack glossy screen protector.

I'd like to find a screen protector that tones down the gloss a little bit.
Is the pack from Verizon like the Droid version (the Verizon branded ones)? Those were about $10 cheaper than the ones at Best Buy, and work a lot better, too.

The ones that Verizon carries are typically the plastic stuff for anti-glare/gloss. Best Buy only carries invisible shields

Anybody recommend one that gives a nice matte finish?

Anyone tried a ZAGG invisibleshield or their competitor Skinomi TechSkin? They are both that propeller rubber. I think I am going to order a skinomi because this screen is bull****. It attracts way too many fingerprings and just lookss disgusting when the screen is off. I wash my hand regularly and it makes me feel dirty
The reason I'm choosing skinomi is that I had a zagg on my HTC EVO, and like many people I tossed it in the bin after a week when the tackiness became intolerable.

Agreed. I had the same issue on my phone and got the Invisible Shield and that made a huge difference. Ordered the same for my Xoom, full body, which I hope will have the same results.

I've also ordered a zagg invisible shield, but just the screen protector. I've had good experiences with the Invisible Shield on my devices (G1, N1, N2, iPad) and expect the product to work well on the Xoom, too.
I do still keep a microfiber cloth around to wipe off the scrud that does inevitably accumulate.

This might be a matter of taste but Zagg skins makes the screen look horrible. Its got like an orange tint to it. I only use the full body skin with some other superclear screen protector. Also invisheild gots like little groves, its not 100% flat.
I got it on my Nexus S and its looks like crap.

Coupon codes...
Hey.
If you're planning on getting a ZAGG shield, you can use the promo code 'ZAGG20' to get 20% off. Working as of 20 minutes ago. The full-body is originally $39.99, but comes down to $31.99 with the code; plus free shipping until late March!
If you're looking to get the Skinomi spin-off, use promo code 'get25' to receive 25% off. The full-body is only $24.99, and with the code it comes down to $18.71! I just ordered one myself. This will be my first Skinomi. I've always went with ZAGG, and have no complaints. But 40 bucks is too much for my taste. Hopefully, the Skinomi works just as well. Same material anyway...

This is great to hear. I love what they put out. They are the only protectors buy. If you put them on corectly you will not even know you have it on.

I used the code and ordered just the screen protector, thanks very much. I love the Invisible Shield on my Nexus One, I hope this compares in quality

Anyone have experience with the Skinomi skins? I've been a big fan of bestskinsever but they don't have one out for the Xoom yet. Much prefer theirs over Zagg. Might consider trying the Skinomi, can anyone recommend them?

I got the Skinomi skin on my incredible and I couldn't believe it. I'll never use those cheap verizon ones again. If it gets scratched it "heals" itself somehow. If you dig your fingernail in it you can feel it give almost like a hard rubber. But when you slide your fingers across the screen it's smooth. I just ordered one for my xoom.
The installation was scary at first because it's a very wet process. You have to get the screen, your fingers, and the protector wet and then wait for it to dry for a few hours. I was scared at first but my incredible doesn't have a scratch and I've had it for 9 months now. I didn't hesitate dropping the $15 to get the xoom protection. No yellowing, it sticks well, and has a lifetime warranty. I highly recommend it.

Thanks for the info on the Skinomi. Think I'll give it a shot...just need to decide whether I want just the screen protector or go with the full body or carbon fiber options. Typically I just get a screen protector...but the back of the Xoom seems like pretty scratch-able.

Screen protection

So I was wondering if anyone had input on a good screen protector. I keep trying the cheaper ones an I'm always left with bubbles that I can't get out. Or its just not cut right.
Is it worth it to pay for the high end ones? Are they better with bubbles?? Amazon reviews I can't always trust, but you guys I do
Suggestions??
I'll take AOKP anything

I second this. They feel closest to glass to me.

OK cool. What about application? How hard are they to install? I used to do vinyl on windows and walls, that's no where near as impossible to apply smoothly

Go with Zagg Invisible Shield. BUT take it to an official Zagg/invisible shield employee..you can usually find booths in the mall. i say this because they take the time to apply it the correect way. unlike bestbuy or sprint who would just wipe the screen and slap the thing on there...or look up a youtube video on how to install invisible shield correctly...

zagg screen protectors are great.

I really like the ones that come with otterbox's any cheap ones its just better to not have one at all

Ditto

Thanks! I just replaced a broken screen and wanted to get some good protection. I've bought off amazon before and their stuff just is cheap and doesn't feel right. Going to see if there is a Zagg booth in the mall by me!

hi
I got these matte finished screen protectors for like $5 on amazon there pretty good. if your still looking i can send you the link to it.

Honestly, I had a protector on mine for 6-8 months, I can't remember exactly. Took it off and never looked back.
I love the feel of the glass, and it's always in it's Sena leather slipcase, or charging. I don't think I would consider putting a protector back on at all, and when I upgrade this fall (Note 3???) I doubt I'll use one on it either.

good screen protectors for the glide

does any good screen protectors for the glide? theirs a lot of sticker ones but i looking for a one that help reduce scratches as well.

I heard LiquidArmor is pretty good. The company I work for sells it. However, I am not one who is pro screen protector. Use the gorilla glass your momma gave you
Sent from my SGH-I927 using Tapatalk 2

i was thinking about a protector cos i'm living outside of the NA region and afraid that it will be hard to replace/fix the screen itself.

I use this, Xtreme_guard ones.
I'm very satisfied and they're very cheap.

Gorilla Glass isn't exactly scratch-proof... While it's a fair bit better than typical glass, I live in the desert, and sand sure does a number on it.

I already bought a few screen protectors, but failed everytime to get it on in a decent way.
This "lip" at the sides of the screen keep messing it up >:
Have you guys some tips to get it on easier?

Zagg Invisible Shield is a very good protection against scratches and dirt. One was gifted with my phone at first, and I ruined it in my pocket with my keys. I really think it saved my phone this day. So I bought this again but it was hard to found. Happily, it is easy to set with the provided fluid. ^^;
Now I have the full zagg protection (screen and back) with a Speck case.

didnt understand how it can help protect the back panel,
i bought the extrme_guard one, hope it will be good. didnt received it yet.

quick re-cap on extreme guard screen protector, it does it jobs pretty well, but the screen protector itself get scratch rely easy. but as i said the scratch don't pass to the screen it self, so it 75 percent good. its pretty cheap via eBay. cost like 5 bucks with delivery and got a replacement straight after the first one scratched while appalling (maybe its my fault for not doing it right).
so take it with a grain of salt.
maybe next one i will buy will be zaggs one.

ok, the extreme guard is not good, it peels off after few days. i will go with the zagg one hope it will be better.

Just a heads up, xtremeguard has 70% off the entire site and shipping is free. Use the coupon code 70OFF
You can get a screen protector for the Glide for $1.50. Considering most screen protectors are this cheap anyway, might as well invest in a quality one.
It's a pretty good deal for those of you that are into wet applications
http://www.xtremeguard.com/Samsung-...de_screen_protector.htm?CartID=1#.UPSet2cwhPc
The full body protection is a much better deal, but sadly there isn't one for the Glide

I'm with xtremeguard ones. They last for about 6-7 months but i think they're totally worth the price and the quality is great. I've bought three: the first one has gone a few months ago due to accidental rubbing that slowly pulled up the corners and the whole protector; the second is the one i have on. It's great. The third is in my drawer just in case of need.
It would be a very good choice (especially consdering the price).

I bought three cheap screen protectors for US$3 on Amazon and overall I'm happy with them. I don't have experience with the more expensive ones, though.

two questions: using phone underwater with case one+reputable screen protector brands

Would it matter to submerge the phone with the case on? Or should it be taken off? And like the title says what are some suggested or reputable screen protector brands. At the moment I want to cover the back of the phone and when warranty runs up I'll replace the front ASF.
Thanks in advance

I've found Nillkin really good for the screen protectors. Had one on my Z2 and it was perfect. Now I have one on order for Z1c (hasn't arrived yet).

I can't speak to screen protector quality, but I would say, in regards to using a case underwater, that it may be best not to. The main reason being that the case may retain some water afterwards. In that case, you would probably want to remove the phone from the case and then allow both to dry. Of course, in many cases you may want a case on the phone for protection from more than just water (sand, rocks, etc) so it depends on how if it's too bothersome to dry off the case and the phone afterward.
I guess I might as well add my screen protector input while I'm here: I got the Invisible Defender by Rearth. I have bought accessories from them before, and this was a 3-pack with an additional clear film for the back. I question the durability, however, as the back film has quite a few scratches after only a few days. I usually go with Spigen's stuff, but they don't have any made for the Z1c. But $8 for a 3 pack of protectors isn't horrible.

XtremeGuard Spartan Tempered Glass Screen Protector

So extremeguard recently came out with their new tempered glass priced at $40 http://www.xtremeguard.com/LG-Google-Nexus-5-Screen-Protectors-p/lg-nexus-5-screen-protector.htm
If you use coupon code HUGE90OFF2 when you buy two or more it will be 90% off, so two screen protectors worth $80 will come down to $8 what a good price! Even if i don't own a nexus 5 just wanted to share with you guys ^^

Out of stock still.

Out of stock and also not by Xtremeguard. $39.99 before "discount"? That's a joke.
If you're in the US you can buy it for $6.99 all the time off of ebay. Yes, slightly more expensive than their 90% off group of 2, but just shows you the ridiculous price Xtremeguard is normally charging for a product that isn't even theirs.

Did yours come in a generic iphone packaging? I was really confused. I thought they sent me the wrong product. I opened it and it does look like it's supposed to but it was just really weird.
Also, if anyone tried, how easy is it to peel off?

I'm using the xtremeguard one right now. Obviously didn't pay 40 bucks for it. Honestly it's my favorite accessory for my phone. The glass feels a bit beveled and it reminds me if the edged on the nexus 4, how they used to be so smooth. I'm sure all the tempered glass protectors feel like this but this is the one I have.

Hmm, interesting. The packaging was completely different for me. Yours looks like the actual packaging from the ebay page. Mine Also says USA126 on it, but it's some generic packaging with an iphone on the front. However, inside everything looks the same as what you got. The pad, protector, cloth, and that same blue sticker. I put on the protector yesterday and so far I do like it a lot. Also, I'm not sure if the sticker was meant for this, but instead of wiping it down with the alcohol pad, I used the sticker to pick up all of the dust before applying the protector and it worked extremely well.

Still out of stock. Might hit up that ebay screen protector.

Does the eBay protector cover side to side or is it rounded off the corners so cases don't pick it up. How's the adhesive on it? Any webbing? Does it stick fully? These eBay protectors aren't always the best. How about the oleophobic coating?

The edges appear to be rounded, they haven't picked up at all with my case. The adhesive is great, no webbing, and it adhered fully. I cleaned the phone VERY well, took off the backing from the screen protector, and gently placed it on the phone. I was surprised that I didn't have to press hard to make it seal, or do the binder clip thing that other people have talked about. I'm very happy with mine, and for $6 it's the best screen protector I have ever bought.

This makes me wish I hadn't bought my full price spigen glasTr. There's no way it's 4 times as good as this.

So far I'm happy with the 6 dollar one I bought. It came in wrong packaging, but the product itself seems fine. I use the nexus 4 replica case and it fits very well. I think I had a bit of spiderwebbing but I pressed on it with my finger and it went away. I did notice a very tiny speck of dust I must have must underneath but its not always visible even though I know where it is. There's seems to be a very small scratch on the bottom and top corner. I'm not sure if that's something underneath but again, it's hardly visible and it's not on the screen part so I don't mind.

It's not bad, I've only had it since May but so far no chips and fits great with both the slim armor and the acase superleggra . Fingerprints do show but they are easy to clean. I forget it's there, it's a ton better than any plastic screen protector and spigens customer support is great. When I installed the first one a corner didn't adhere, not sure if it was my fault but spigen sent me a new one free of charge.

Wow It was really kind of then to send you a replacement for free! Is the GLAS.tR case friendly? I've already ordered a Spigen Ultra Fit case from eBay, and it's on the way, I just wanna make sure that it's going to fit properly.
