Especially around the home button? Does gunk get in there and is it visible? I'm not talking about from handling the phone with muddy hands - just from regular usage over time. I feel like most of you who have one have had it long enough to comment. Thank you.

Mine looks as fresh as the day I bought it and I use it constantly. This phone is fairly new so I can't say after many months of usage, but thus far I wouldn't worry about it.

Mine looks good here too. I actually had the blue sgs 3 international and was one of the biggest things I noticed was the gunk under the edges you could see. You don't see it in the white verson though. At least not as noticeable anyway

Mine's as fresh as a daisy as well, after 1 month of manhandling.
EDIT: WE LANDED ON THE MOOOOON?!?!?!
The gloss finish doesn't attract dirt as much as mate white finish on HTC One X
The Pebble Blue is much better tho :good:
Well the pebble neon green is the best

i dont know about you guys but I currently have the nano optic screen protector by sgp and even though they make one of the best protectors, you can tell the color difference between the naked area and the covered area. The covered area has a bit of a little greyish tint to it while the naked area is clear white. I'm not sure why everyone is saying "you can't even tell a screen protector is on" when reviewing the sgp screen protector for the galaxy. You can definitely tell that its on.
I would use the device without a screen shield but wouldn't want it to be scratched up when I resell it later on.

I have the nano clear and everyone I have look at the phone doesn't notice my screen protector. The clear doesn't make the white look grey either.

I have the Zagg Invisible Shield on mine. I got the matte finish one and regret it. It definitely dulls down the screen. I think it dulls down the white of the body of the phone also. You can definitely tell I have a screen protector. I may go and buy the clear one soon.
I have the white version and use a matte screen protector and it is as white as day one. The white case though... that is a different story. It looks like crap.

My S3(home button also) is just as shiny and clean as the day I got it. The obvious exception being fingerprints. I haven't had a screen protector on it yet as I'm waiting on SGP to release the curved crystal.

white is easiest color to keep clean of any color phone imo

Recently got the rock case and really like it. Definitely alot better then the incipio scyrillic dual I bought before. But I'm a bit worried about the screen and the top and bottom being unprotected.
Any suggestions? I have been hearing about glass screen protector (saw a video on the xda homepage even) but haven't found any that have good reviews yet. As for the top and bottom I was thinking some kind of shield maybe?
What are my options?
Thanks alot,
Alex
P.s. I got a blue s3

Blue S3 for the win!
Does not have to be a glass screen protector necessarily just a good screen protector that doesn't change the look and feel of screen too much and won't peel off with the case!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Does it not peel up on the curved edges? And does it cover the entire screen surface? I hate when you can see the protector around it all

They are pretty good, but take a look @ Best Skins Ever. They are pretty much the same protectors @ rock bottom prices.
Look into Clearplex. They they should be known a lot more amongst people. Its just better than an over rated zagg (not hatin, just sayin).

And the ZAGG HD is NOT like the original ZAGG.. This thing is beautiful. My sister was playing with my phone and told me to get a screen protector for it lol.. She said the screen felt natural and she couldn't feel or see the screen protector..
Mind you side by side you can tell..

I got one in the 50% discount also. This is my FIRST Zagg and I'm a bit nervous about the wet application process. Can anyone give me their best tips/advice on the process, i.e. what to avoid, etc?
Thanks in advance.

Take the battery out when you're applying it. You can dry it with a hairdryer set to "cool".

Problems with Zagg
I am on to my second Zagg screen protector and it is still not right. I got both installed by Zagg at the mall. They looked great for a couple weeks but then look like they have snags in them. Am I just really hard on my phone or is anyone else having this issue?
Does the zagg hd screen protector covers the whole screen?

Between the sensor and the speaker its open.. But the entire Samsung logo is covered under the speaker..
And right under the home button is not covered.... But the sides are.. Just right under the home button isn't..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
The best way I've found to install the screen protectors is by spraying the phones screen, then spray the top of the shield, your fingers, peel it off the backing, and then spray the adhesive side of the shield. It'll give you plenty of liquid to position the shield and since your fingers are wet it won't stick to you/leave your fingerprint on the screen. When using the squeegee on the HD shield spray that as well and use very short strokes starting from the center working your way out. They're thicker then the regular ones and can get very small bubbles under them that are hard to get out without causing a run in the shield.

me too. love it
I have a Zagg HD on mine and hate it.
That being said it is the best protector I have tried, and have ended up using Zagg protectors on my s1, s2, s3, tab 8.9, tab 10.1, and nexus 7.
I hate the plasticy feel, the orange peel, and the fact I rarely have one make it longer than 4 or 5 months before needing replacement.
Again on the plus I have never had a single question or problem when getting it replaced.
My verdict is this;
I hate screen protectors, but they are nessessary. Zagg makes one of the, if not the best one out there, their customer service and product support is excellent.
try the XOSkins screen protector. Way better without the orange bs.

Check out the Xgear Spectre tempered glass screen protector. I'm thinking of doing the same thing myself.
There's the mercury colored screen protectors too. Not sure how good they are though

The mercury screen protectors suck lol.
The menu button and back button are actually printed on the screen protector itself. And the company name "Mercury is printed on the screen protector right above the back button.
And the mercury screen protector doesn't completely cover the front of the phone, so if you're trying to make a white S3 black, it'll look off.
I ordered three of the black and it wasn't mention, but it has a glittery look instead of just being black. I don't know if all of the colors are like this but it kind of throws it off in my opinion.
If none this bothers you, then order them, as for me, I'm getting my money back.

I believe it does have issue because there is no indication that there is a glass screen protector on the Spigen website for sale. I'm only seeing 20 items and none look like glass protectors.

Gaps are pretty big i guess 2mm on bottom and top. Sides are just along the edge of the actual screen. But like i said the top section wont adhere so its lifted. But the rest is perfect. Very smooth just like the screen. Very clear cant even tell i have one. Plus lifetime warranty as bonus.
