I'm looking for something similar to realook screen protectors. I don't want anything to expensive I'm fine paying about $10 for two. Please nothing that's similar to zagg.

I was always a fan of Boxwave's screen protectors. I don't use anything now because of my Otterbox, but they were always great with other phones I had.
I'm getting my replacement phone tomorrow so I'm doing an order for my screen cover from Hand Held Items. So far I have been really pleased with their service, and all the stuff I have ordered for my poor Incredible.
Seidio sells what you want, you get 2 for $15. Best to order from a place where shipping is free.
I personally like these kind. Zagg are hype.
SGP ultra crystal is by far the best screen protector out there. level 4 hardness, ultra smooth glass like swype, no change in sensetivity, easy installation and great price. interested in seeing the new ultra optics anti-fingerprint, anti-glare with optical qualities of the ultra crystal.

+1 for the sgp ultra crystal. I've tried a lot of different screen protectors and this is the best both for quality and installation. Perfect installation is a breeze with these screen protectors.

+2 on the SGP Ultra Crystal. Though I just switched to the Ultra Fine anti-glare / fingerprint. It took a little getting used to, but in the end I am happy I made the switch.
Recently picked up these: http://phonedevil.com/
Fitment isn't absolutely perfect, but they are easy to apply and give a feel almost identical to glass.
My sgp ultra crystal is great visually. Its only noticeable by finger when you have excessive oil. Daily use, its been great!
+1 For the SGP. I have it and it feels great. Plus, you can't see that its there and it doesn't even sacrifice viewing angles.

I've tried lots of them and can't recommend much else but the Zagg. The only time I notice it is if there is light reflecting off of it when the screen is off and I can see the "orange peel" effect. These are the only shields that I can beat the crap out of and they don't scratch.
Back from the dead I see. Im still using the same ones I bought which are good only if you have a case cuz you can really feel them from the sides without it.

Have had them since my BB. I dropped one (BB) onto the my tripod 1/4-20 post screen first.
that protector CHIPPED it hit so hard on that rough metal edge, but the screen under it was perfect. I was sold after that
people will hate on this bc i think most do not like the feel of the screen..
however, i have have Zagg InvisibleShields on every device I've ever owned and love them. Quality product.

i honestly wouldn't even recommend one. every protector i tried made me aggravated by either little bubbles or a haze. i said f it took it off and for the last year i haven't had one scratch. the gorilla glass is tough! i have dropped the phone more times than you can imagine on hard and soft surfaces form high and low heights.. it's good stuff.
I use cheap ones from ebay. They are actually good quality
Made in japan and they are high grade optical clarity or something
Sounded like a bunch of salesmanship (lies) but when I got them I was amazed.
Cant remember who seller was tho lol.
I used the Verizon ones and hated em. Wasted money on an Orange Peel ZAGG. I went to my local mall about 7 months ago and the product is Ghost Armor. They guarantee it for life. No hazing, no orange peel, etc.

Thanks. Ordered it
Figured I'd ask here, instead of making a new thread. Does the GSII have gorilla glass like my original Epic?
Not sure why anyone needs a screen protector if so. I know some people still manage to get scratches, but I'm not sure how. I did some key-slamming-&-scribbling-tests on my first epic before I sent it in to assurion, and couldn't scratch the thing for nothing. I also use it at work so it gets beat up pretty good. Never had one scratch or blemish, and still don't.
I usually like my phone naked, but with this one being so thin, I'll probably be forced to get a case so it fits better in my hand (like I had to do with my Hero)
Epic touch 4g is gorilla glass from all the specs ive seen online.
I personally tend not to use screen protectors. I find just don't put it in the same pocket as your keys and your set.
I grabbed a TPU case the black matte one of amazon from TPU-cases and it comes with a free one. I might give it a shot, but screen protectors just seem to kill the touchscreen experience IMO. I've always run my ipod-touches without them and never a single scratch.
anyone have a review of this yet??

Having used both the two are very similar. I had the invisible shield on my pre and it had a bad orange peel look to it. On my Inspire in used the Skinomi be I didn't like the orange peel look of the invisable shield and I have to say I thought the skinomi one was far better the other it was clear as day and barely noticeable. It was smooth as glass I was very pleased with it. So much so I ordered one for my gs2et.

Actually it dose a pretty good job. Now I'm not saying there will be no finger prints but I would say it cuts it down to about half of what you would see without the protector.
Are there any good screen portectors out there that dont compromise my screen quality? I saw someone with a matte textured screen protector on his iphone which looked neat, but are there any that would effect screen quality for the E4GT? Finger print resistance would be a great plus too.

I've tried:
SGP Ultra Fine
SGP Ultra Oleophobic
Sprint clear/matte
Reallook Crystal
The SGP Ultra Oleophobic is anything but, it got terribly messy quick. The SGP Ultra Fine takes away too much of the screen quality due to its matte finish. By far my favorite is the Reallook Crystal. These fit the best, are inexpensive, (2 in a package) and don't seem to fingerprint as bad as other crystal protectors I have used. They also do not reduce screen quality at all, it's the best protector I have used on the E4GT.
I tried several different dry and wet application types and ended up with sgp steinheil ultra crystal. You dont even know its there except that it gathers fingerprints a bit faster than no protector.
I've been using Ghost Armor since my Evo and I love it. It's $35 for the whole phone and only a $5 replacement charge for whenever you want it redone. It also carries over from phone to phone.

+1 on this one also.
I've tried a whole mess of screen protectors for all my phones and I always end up back with SGP Ultra Crystal. I hate matte finishes because they make screens look like garbage so I usually lean towards the clearer versions
I have had several people comment that they couldn't even tell that i had a screen protector on (which is the look I am going for). Downside is, because it feels so close the the original glass, it also attracts fingerprints just like the glass would but this is not a deal-breaker for me. If you ever buy a "cheaper", no-name version, some of them actually look almost as good initially but I have noticed they tend to scratch WAY easier than SGPs.
Hope this helps
+1 on Steinheil here as well, easily the best screen protector you can buy. I have the Ultra Crystal and my only complaint is that it attracts fingerprints a little quicker than I'd like it to.. but this is true for all crystal protectors. Keep a microfiber cloth at home

Yep another vote for sgp ultra crystal. Best quality screen protector I've ever had and as an added bonus, the easiest and fastest install i've ever had. literally took a few sec to align and bam it's on. no dust underneath or anything.
Got the SGP ultra crystal and it's really easy, fingerprints collect but easy to apply.

You guys know that it's just a piece of plastic right?
I heard the Xo skins are decent but these sgp ultra crystal look interesting too. I have a zags screen protector now and I'm not a fan of it. Fingerprints, 'orange peel' look and although mine was used there are colored specs visible in some light, idk kinda weird.
I don't care if it matte or antiglare
I just want it to be solid and not flimsy

Which one should be better guys? ArmorSuit MilitaryShield or Fantom Tempered Glass? Im between one of those two.
I'm using the one that came with my otterbox, its crystal clear and doesnt attract minor scratches
Ok, now i don't want the Fantom...im torn between the AmorSuit MilitaryShield and the ZAGG invisibleSHIELD. Im also looking for a case, and my top option is the Seidio Active with kickstand.I love the idea of a kickstand. I find myself often trying to put something on the back of my phone to hold it on my desk in "dock" position.
I can thoroughly recommend the Steinheil Ultra Oleophobic.
Easy to fit with no bubbles, great looking glass-like finish and far less annoying finger prints than the glass screen. I'm nearly completely over my obsessive screen cleaning issues!

I'd advise you to stay away from ZAGG. I have been using one since 2 months now and it's FAR from invisible, though it's smooth but not invisible!
I had the xgear fantom...twice...it kept lifting so now i'm without. It is a great idea, I wish they would perfect it.
I'm using the zagg screen protector. Most people complain about it but I love it. Its super good at absorbing shock. I don't know how many times I've dropped my gnex screen down, and the screen in still flawless.

+1 for this. I have used several other screen protectors (ZAGG, Spigen, Clarivue and a couple of others), and this one, while not the easiest to get on, works great. Great feel and I like the way the screen looks when it is on. Because it is a matte protector, it is not invisible, but no real orange peel and it is not sticky at all - great finger feel on the screen! And cheap as well!
I hated any screen protector that I put on my Galaxy Nexus, after buying it I put on an Xtremeguard wet apply full body, after 4 months, I took it of.
Screen protectors suck and reduce the usability on the phones at times, some of them are pretty sticky or not as slippery and smooth as the glass.
PIE from AOSPA has never been so easily, I still use a case, but I bought my phone to actually use it, and I've been affecting my usability by babying it. It'll be so worth it unless you're really that paranoid about a scratch here and there.
No screen protector doesn't work for me. I work in a machine shop and metal chips find their way in my pockets daily. I prefer the non anti-glare 3 pack from Walmart or target. I forget the brand but they're cheap enough and don't interfere with usability.
