Anyone tried these?
Nice
wow man, good accessory. thx
Good find Super, just ordered some so i will let you know.
Please do
They are good and do what they say, anti-reflective. But they do dull down the screen a bit, so you would need to set the screen brighter than what you normally do. Also they blur the screen just a tad bit...not too bad, but enough to notice. They feel sorta soft/grainy, not like your touching the screen. I personally don't like them because I don't use my phone in the sun that much to trade off screen smoothness/visibility for anti-reflection power. But if you spend a lot of the time outside when using your phone and you find the suns rays devastating then this would be a smart buy.

Hey thanks buddy for the review, i do use my phone out doors a lot and as you know it can be sometimes a pain to view the screen specially when sunny, if it helps alittle it will be worth a fiver.
Out thanks but will return to leave some.
I use my phone in the sun very rarely...but when I do it is a pain in the butt. All I see is a white light blinding my eyes. I just put my phone back in my pocket act like i accomplished reading my emails and head inside a building and finish my work. haha.
Just a update guy's, i received my Folix screen protector this morning and have to admit it is good, the best screen protector i have seen or used, it gives a matt finish to the screen which not only helps with reflection when outdoors but hides finger marks, it is about the same gauge as the original Sony one that was on my phone, the other thing it went on perfect with not one air bubble, well worth a fiver!

I ordered one from Daydeal.com Yesterday and waiting on it to arrive.
This would make my Third one Yes i know i said 3 but the first 2 had problems and were ordered from a different seller.
anyone out here found any of these that are good and screen and touch buttons work if so where did you find it at..
i'm still waiting on my one from daydeal
EDIT: Pics of the screen protector taken from my wife HERO
Tried to get a pic of where i had to cut out the opening for the camera (front)
Hey how did that screen protectore from Daydeal.com Work out? does it make it harder to touch the screen? are the capacative buttons functional with the protector on? is there a cut out for the front facing camera?
thanks for the info!!
I'm thinking about getting a 4 way privacy screen for a ipad and cutting it down to size since I can't find one cut for the evo.
I have a 2 way now but it doesn't work well in landscape and I had to cut the bottom of it to get the buttons to work. I also think it is to thick. It makes it difficult to do multi-touch.
I'm hoping since the ipad is nothing but touch that the products available for it might me a little thinner and more capable of multi-touch. Wish 3M would get in gear and realize that more people than just BB users want to protect their privacy. Not that a 4.3" screen is a beacon for prying eyes or anything....
The screen (privacy) protector from daydeal.com works great the buttons work perfectly the only issue is the front camera is not cut out but you can fix that with a hobby knife with no problem I'll post a pic soon of the screen protector on my phone with the camera cut out.

i had the clarivue and it worked great... it did have some spots where the finish came off.. around the edges but it wasnt bad.
i had to change the screen of my phone so i lost it but now that i dont have a screen protector makes me like how good the screen looks. not bad like before.
i ordered a clear protector now... dont think i will go back to the anti-figerprint or privacy.
Well I guess I can post up some pics... I bought a Privacy screen that came out to $7.99 including shipping from EBAY. It came with 3 screens, all privacy.... The first one was kind of peeling from the top but did the job... take a look see....the screen is on regular backlight in all pics exept 1
that cut on the top looks crappy.. but the peeling happend to be too from clarivue. it was also around some edges. i liked the screen but i now have a crystal clear... i have tried all but the mirror type protectors... and i will stay with clear...
when i had my screen changed not to long ago i noticed the huge differance in the way the screen look in a privacy vs clear... you cant beat the clear... at least for me.
i gave it some thought... if someone can see my screen well enough to read the screen then they are too damn close to me anyways lol

Same one I got from eBay. The cut on top doesn't obstruct the camera or sensors and the guard goes from top to bottom with no gaps. Buttons and touch are still very sensitive.
If not for that peeling corner (got it here too) this would be a complete WINNAR!
I wouldn';t be able to stand my screen looking that dim and crappy.
What are you guys like porn addicts or something? I know none of you are important enough to have secrets that actually need hidden when you are walking around on your phones.

Yes. We are all very important porn addicts trying to hide our shameful screens. If you're not a fan of privacy screens, that's fine - don't troll a thread that others might find helpful.
You don't have to be a porn fan to want a little privacy the protector are useful if you don't want people seeing your password when your typing or drawing it.. Or your text message.. Privacy screens have more uses than just for porn if you want. I have a launch day evo and my screen still looks awesome with the privacy screen on the mirror protector is not useful it doesn't block anything unless you turn down the display brightness and that's no good cause then you can't see your own screen...
Sent from the evo collective via cybernetic implants
well, if your reading an important email, or checking your bank account. a lot of uses for these...
So i listened to the majority of you guys on the forum and went ahead and ordered myself a couple Realook screen protectors. My first impression:
- EASY AS HELL application (no air bubbles, even around ear speaker, first try)
- Clarity (Just like you guys said, it takes nothing away from our gorgeous screen)
My only complaint, after a night of use, is that it smudges insanely easily. And I'm actually in the good habit of always making sure my hands are as clean as possible when using my phone. after only about two hours i noticed that a film of fingerprints was developing and i could only get it off by actually wetting the screen down, as opposed to other SPs where just breathing on it usually does the trick but when i did that the fingerprints would start to streak and it looked like the screen was scratched.
Im going to keep them, but the retaining of fingerprints almost offsets its incredible clarity.
thats the exact reason why I choose to run nekkid and just take extra care of the screen and pocket/screen placement. Try caring a micro-fiber towel... great for getting smudges off the glass, might help for the RL SP.
I noticed the same smudge-magnet change.
However you have to give your phone the occasional wipedown either way. With the SP on you needn't be paranoid about whether your cleaning tool of choice (usually my shirt or pant leg) has a deceptive grain of sand/grit just waiting to make a minor etch you just know your OCD will notice given time... but maybe that's just me =).
Now I can wipe that sucker down with force without a second thought - didn't realize how much that peace of mind adds to the phone experience!

That's pretty awesome. Ordered.
I just got my E4GT and really love everything about this phone. There is only one inherent drawback to having a large beautiful screen, everyone elses' eyes seem to also lock on to it. Anyone have a suggestion for a privacy screen and any feedback on them? Thank you in advance...
Midget Porn
It took the screen manufacturers almost 20 years to get screens this beautiful and now people make money selling devices to reduce the visibility. I understand your concern but are you really doing anything on your phone that the casual observer is going to be able to be nosy about? Are you watching Midget porn on your device's big screen? I realize Midget porn has a lot of benefits, like taking up less storage space and automatically being formatted for the smaller screens.....Ok, think about it for a second. It is funny.

On a more serious note,
I recently ordered this privacy screen protector off on Amazon. It was the only real own I could find and the price was right. The shipment is supposed to come on the 22nd and I can post a review of it here once I get and install it if you want.
Link:
http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B005S69CPK?tag=adapas02-20
PS. For some reason it was Prime enabled when I ordered it, but I doesn't look like it is anymore? Eh oh well.
Can you please post a review on this privacy screen protector. Does it cover left, right, top, bottom? hows the fitment? does it affect the touch screen? Post pic if you can too.
Thanks
Alright I've had it for a few days now ill post my full review.
As a screen protector, its a bit*h to install. You can't see the bubbles easily during the install so its hard to make sure you got them all without holding it in the right light. Next is that is doesn't quite fit the device. It could use about 2 more mm on the right side and the bottom, but if you center it up right during the install you probably wont notice. It does smug up with finger prints, but the nature of the screen protector makes it so you can only really see the smuges in the right light, so its not a big issue.
Now for the privacy part. First off if you got your Epic for its screen, walk away. The screen is noticeably darker and less brilliant. I got used to it pretty quickly but it is noticeable. It does do its job well of protecting your screen, as you can see here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJT-wSelQmg&feature=youtu.be (Sorry about the music, I forgot to mute it lol, i hope you like Big B, also sorry about the quality, my best video camera is on the Epic) This does greatly increase privacy, but it does not do it to the "midget porn" level. If you wanna compare the video with your phone, I attached the image i used in the video.
Overall, I wish the screen was a little bit more brilliant, but for $4 this thing does it job well and I do not regret purchasing it.
EDIT: OH! And make sure you know where your touch buttons are at the button. With this protector on they all but disappear when the lights aren't on.
They suk ****. It will make your screen look terrible. I had one on for about 5 min B4 I peeled that crap off. Just my 2 cents.
So if you guys are wondering what a privacy screen protector is, its basically one in which restricts viewing of the phone screen, so basically if anyone is standing or sitting next to you whilst you were on your phone, and they had a look at your screen, then all they would see is a black screen
So the one I ordered really cheap was this
It arrived pretty promptly and applied it the standard method, clean screen, use a credit card and slowly apply pressure as your placing the screen protector to ensure no air bubbles
What do I think? Well the protector is relatively thick and scratch resistant which means I have extra comfort in knowing its safer from drops etc. The screen protector is a fairly good size, easily covers the screen. It does its job perfectly, from side views, the screen can't be seen whatsoever
Disadvantages - I'm used to having my phone lying on the desk next to me, and so if I want to quickly see any notifications, I actually have to pick up the phone and bring it face to face with me, instead of usually just glancing across at it
2) It does reduce brightness so you need to bump it up a little, however the screen protector is described as having 99% UV protection and i've tested it outdoors and I could see the screen okay
Overall I'd recommend this, its cheap, you can't go wrong with the thick protection and the privacy factor is another bonus!
Have you tried with polaroid glasses on too?

Hi All,
Currently have a One X, love the phone, apart from the battery life and the locked bootloader. However it has managed to "gain" two 1 cm scratches that are really quite deep and very visible.
So I now have a Blue S3 on order, due with me on Monday, and I don't want to find myself in the same boat in terms of screen scratches, I just can't deal with having the screen messed up (maybe I'm a bit OCD).
Anyway, to the moral of the story, can people please give me suggestions for the best screen protector for the S3, I want to protect but I don't want to take anything away from the screen, I remember putting a zagg on an iPhone 4s, and it took the edge of the clarity of the display, and I don't want that at all for the S3.
I have searched and can't find a similar thread, apologies if there is.
Help greatly appreciated.

Hi, my s3 glass scratched within a week, thankfully around the home button, not the display & I'm pretty obsessively careful. I bought the otterbox commuter case and installed the included screen protector. I can see no effect on the brightness or clarity of the screen, but it was a bugger to get on right & only just covers the display area of the glass, leaving a lip that my finger catches on when I'm swiping from the edges of the screen. It's pretty annoying but I'll live with it for the protection, a bit like using a condom!

Jees, gotta love those folk who feel the need to take the time to post not 1, but 2 totally pointless and non helpful replies, when posting 1 helpful reply or adopting the "I have nothing good to say so I won't say anything" mantra would save him and everyone else the time.
I was hoping for a decent response, so I can order 1 now, so it arrives in time for the phone, which was Monday. So I don't have to go any time without protection, and get a scratch like 1 poster mentions.
IMO the best one is the clear one as i tried many, stay away from the matt or antiglare cause it cause a washed screen and dimmed colours.
They are selling it on ebay a pack of 6 for 3 pounds. hope that will help you
I've had done generic one which came with my case, a momax one and now I'm into a barely there.
The barely there is the best of the ones I've tried. It's matt finish so it does change the look of the screen slightly, it is a tiny but blurred now, but it's quite a small effect and once gotten used to it. The positive effects of using a matt protector are that my screen has no glare or reflection in the light now, making it easier to read when a light source is shining onto it. Also, while the glossy ones quickly become covered in fingerprints, they are quite hard to spot in this one.
It seems to be of decent strength and thickness. Have me a slightly better overlap in the edges than the first two I tried. Worked out cheaper as well ... for a twin pack for the same price as the one momax.

Matte screen protector
I ordered a matte protector for my S3.
Looked and felt really nice, kept finger prints off, but at the end of the day after a week or so i wanted to look at the screen with nothing on it at all. Looks far better.
Maybe a sock or something to keep it in is better than a protector ??

Mine also scratched at the home button, to be more spesific, at the back butto.
I think the best so far is the sgp nano clear.
