What screen protector?

That's the response I always get. I have the Realook screen protector, I think you can only get it from Amazon.

I've been very happy with Ghost Armor.

I like Seidio's Ultimate Screen Guard.

HTC EVO 4G screen protector
This is where i ordered my screen protector, much cheaper than local shops. crystal and just like you never use a protector on your screen.

I forgot the name brand, but I have a privacy protector. Not because I want to conceal my privacy but because most privacy protectors offer the thickest of SP's!

100% recommend Zagg.
Great protection, dosn't smudge, and lifetime warrenty. I have sent mine back twice now (first time was because I managed to get dirty under it, 2nd because I shattered my screen) and I get a brand new set. Peel it off send it back, done.

Hey,
I agree zagg all day every day! Their protectors are cheap thin, the feel is amazing, they protect from scratches and you can beat them up but it keeps your screen safe! they are easy to apply with solution, and best part when you want a new one just pay a few bucks for shipping send them back the old one and its free!
this video says all! hope i helped!

Zagg is by far the best imho

I had ZAGG on mine for several months. It worked great. I took it off because I didn't like the feeling of it compared to the "glass" feel. I've had it off for a couple months and still no scratches and I like the phone a lot better without it.

I just tried the new anti-glare version from zagg, it was horrible!!! It was like looking through crystallized glass, especially when there was white background. I went back to the original zagg and love it.

I use the one that came with my OtterBox. I thought I was going to hate it but rarely even notice its there any more.

Clarivue. Can barely tell the difference between it and the glass. Just bought my gf some generic ones off Amazon for her shift and the quality was really good for a quarter of the price. Don't think I'll be buying the name brand versions anymore but if I did I'd go with clarivue.

I also use the one that came with my Otterbox case. Before that I also used Invisashield(Spellcheck ).
The touch screen is more prone to breaking from pressure or impact then from scratching.

yess finished my fiends...

I have to say Zagg is the best. For one, if you have them (or someone like best buy mobile install it) both the screen protector and the installation have a lifetime warranty. Meaning if your screen starts to peel off, take it back to Zagg get a new one free, and get the new one put on for free!

i dont like screen protectors and cases and mi phone is perfect but depends how you use it

i've used an the otterbox one for a bit and then a zagg when that wore off but now i have SGP STEINHEIL anti fingerprint one. i didnt really care bout the fingerprint part but liked that it was slightly matte so its wayyy easier to see with sunglasses on

I'm using the one that I came with the otterbox. It has been on since September, with heavy use/abuse. Its just barely starting to peel at the corners.

Zagg since launch day. Has a couple of pretty decent "marks", but when the screen is on you cannot even notice it. It is the only protection that I use. No peeling so far.

Zagg! You cant beat the warranty if something does happen to it. If you can find a kiosk let them install it. Its the only thing I will let someone else work on my phone.

Best screen protector

What do you guys think is the best screen protector for this phone? I have been looking on Amazon and they have been getting bad reviews on them.I ordered a mirrored one and that was a terrible middle because I couldn't see anything if there was any sunlight on the device. Any screen protectors like the Apple one where it is anti fingerprint? I'm thinking of trying the Zagg screen protector but I use Swype a lot and don't like my finger sticking to the screen.

I just received my ZAGG screen protector in the mail today. I'll let you know what I think once I put it on. My buddy has one on his IPhone, and I liked it because my finger DID NOT stick when I was sliding it around. I have seen other screen protectors that made my finger stick.

I've had a Zagg on my iPad, iPhone, Fascinate, Thunderbolt, Galaxy Tab, Galaxy 10.1 and now my Hercules. My finger has stuck to the screen exactly 0 times in the 2 years I've been using them and I've used Swype with every one of those devices.

I also prefer ZAGG's invisible shield. I had one on my Glacier and loved it so I grabbed one for my S II. You can usually find them several dollars cheaper on ebay or amazon.
I only use the screen protectors by ZAGG, but if you get a full kit, remember that you might run into fitment issues with tight-fitting cases. A full shield and a case seems redundant to me, anyway.

Zagg Invisi shield is definitely the way to go. I would just take your phone to the mall and have them apply with the wet method instead of the dry ones you can buy in store. They are the best and once you pay full price you can always get any side replaced for only 5$ :]

Personally I prefer the reallook screen protectors. They are a dry application, but have had awesome success with them. Only issue will be if you have the d30 case. But most screen protectors have issues with this case.

I tried one of those first on my Thunderbolt. It was really nice... Until it spent a ride in my pocket with my keys for a couple hours. It got pretty scratched up. I also have a pretty oily face and the Zagg hides that and the fingerprints a lot better than the SGP. When it's new though, that SGP is great.

I just ordered an Xtremeguard full-body kit off of ebay for $5 with free shipping. They are supposed to be direct competitors to Zagg from the looks of their ad but I don't have any experience with them so when I get it, I will get back to you.
I am not really worried about the screen as it's gorilla glass and that stuff is tough! I already have a Diztronic TPU case on my phone and just wanted a "apply and forget" screen protector that will lessen my OCDness with the screen (despite it being so tough).

anyone have a preferred screen protector with the 3DO case? i'm trying to find one that doesn't mess up with this case, lasts, and doesn't show all the oily fingerprints

I don't think you did it right i thought the squeege was scratching the screen protector. Cause it had a whole bunch of scratches on it. When trying to get the bubbles out. I removed the scratched up screen protector. Then underneath was the screen protector on perfectly. I even applied keys to it it didn't scratch up.

For those of you with the Zagg screen protector, does it tend to bubble around the edges when used in conjunction with a tpu/d30 case?
Considering getting one myself, but this would be the deal breaker

The d30 is extremely tight on the edges. Just about any sp will suffer.

If you miss with the case, does it cause bubbles? Or are the corners on top of the Zagg?

Best case and screen protector?

I've kept my phone naked since I got it, but I feel the need for a screen protector and a case. I'm looking for a case that will protect my device good, and a screen protector that is not built into the device but protects the screen well. I'm not wanting the Zagg invisible shield because of its orange-peel like texture, and I don't want an OtterBox due to its price. Any opinions on what I should get?

go ballistic its only 17 on ebay or amazon and screen protector is your own call i have a privacy one on my phone

I've been running with the black Seidio Surface Case with holster belt clip and the Steinheil Crystal Clear screen protector since day one. It's good protection without much bulk. I got them both from Amazon.

Check out Incipio Feather on ebay, very minimal size and comes with a screen protector.

what are people using for heavy duty protection my job is pretty rugged outside in the elements a lot right now i m using the seidio convert case and its nice but its dosent have a built in screen protector it comes with a stick on one but i ve never had good luck with them i had an otterbox defender with my evo 4g and it was great i alsohad great customer service with otterbox i think i m gonna get another defender series otterbox i m just curious if there are any other hard core protective cases i should look into

What are some good extended battery cases? I'm in the market for a new extended battery and a case to go with it. Please do not say Trexcell, I received a bad battery from them and emailed them numerous times w/o a response.

i like the trident aegis case. I come with covers over the headphone jack and usb port and dust covers over the mic and speakers. Best part on $19.99 on ebay with free shipping and it comes with a screen protector.

Steinheil is definitely my favorite screen protector. Used on my old SGS1. Prefer matted because it eliminates sun glare/ oil, and rainbow effects. Here is the manufacturer's site.

FYI: It's been confirmed in another thread, but our screens ARE made with Gorilla Glass.
ALSO: Here is a link for otterbox.com promo codes to take the price down some if you're still interested: retailmenot.com/view/otterbox.com

Zagg InvisibleShield HD is amazing.

would like to recomend this screen protector to anyone. It is well worth the money even though it is a water base protector, it feels like glass.i already wasted to much money on useless screen protector with my GS3 cause i thought Zagg was overprice (and still do) .
i bought the Xtreme guard = crap, skinomi = it was alright didnt like the rubbery feel and went with film screen protector.
I bought the Tech armor HD which i think it looks amazing but does not cover the entire screen and it would get scratch easily. i used 5 film in 2 weeks. After doing my research i heard of the HD version of invisibleshield and that it feel like glass.
It is amazing and it doesn't affect the image quality of the screen, the only problem would be if you are willing to pay the high price ($25) for it.

the RETAIL price for HD is $19.99 and $14.99 for the orange peal (but can hold a car) version if you buy from them directly.
also every few months they have 50% off or buy one/get one free sales..
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
im thinking about getting protection for the back also then i dont have to worry about scratches.. if you have the full body protection the only thing you need to worry about is the bezel and corners...... which is actually a big deal
but im going to try to not have a cover with this phone and see how long it lasts... with insurance through bestbuy i think i will be fine

Is this screen protector attached with the wet method? Also do you see an orange peel effect?

No orange peel.. It's like a normal screen protector.. Only in hd.. I'm serious lol its beautiful.. Non orange peel no funny texture almost can't even tell it's there..and yes you put it on with the "very wet"method.

After trying the Tech armor HD dry application (film) will never again use dry skin. First, it does not last. i went with 5 screen protector in 2 weeks. I love wet application but hate the rubbery fill. I hate regular zagg, bestskinever, skinomi, xtremeguard and other wet protector. This zagg invisibleshield HD is different.
The surface is smooth glass, so it feels like a dry application protector but has the durability of a wet one. no orange pill or rainbow effect like i was getting with the xtreme guard. $20 might seen to much for a screen protector but, trying different one i already spend much more than that. $20 and lifetime warranty for having the best screen protector, if i knew how good it was i would have bought it from the get go.

If you want scratches all over your screen protector then dont get this. Has happened on multiple replacements and with NO heavy use. This has been discussed before.
Save your money. Get a dry application screen protector. SGP

Zagg Protectors suck. There are many wet protectors that are cheaper and better than Zagg protectors. I only use Best Skin Ever as my protectors of choice. They are cheap and last the entire life of the product. For example, the screen only protector is 8.99 and the full body is 11.99 I believe.
To those that say dry protectors are better than wet, i'm sorry but that is absolutely not the case. I rotate between both types on different products and wet is definitely better all the way around. It takes a bit of work to apply, but once it's on, it's self healing and if done in a stemmed bathroom, it's impossible to get any lint or dust underneath the protector during the application process.
Dry protectors do scratch and are not self-healing. If applied right, a wet protector is visibly non-existent on your product.

Wrong.
Zagg wet protector sucks just like bestskinever which also suck. The product in this thread is Zagg invicibleshield HD. After trying alot of wet protectors this is the best by a mile. Best of all it feel like glass and not rubbery.

The HD is even worse than the original. I had a few HDs and went back to the original. Now I am waiting on a different brand to ship to me

Nope, the Zagg HD Dry is what T-Mobile was selling when the S3 came out launch day. Unfortunately, that was the screen protector I had to go with at the time because there were no other screen protectors out on launch day. That was a horrible mistake. That thing has a horrible texture and it was picking up lint and dust right after I applied it. I took it off literally 4 hours after I applied it. Read the reviews on a google search on Best Skin Ever, they are cheap and the quality is well worth the price. The company even prides themselves on offering low-cost, high quality skins and they are not lying...its an excellent product.

You are absolutely right, I will never buy a Zagg product again. Their original skin was OK, but even then I didnt really care for them. This new HD material is garbage though.
Try a BSE man...I guarantee you won't be disappointed. I used it on my iPad 3, Kindle Fire, and even my laptop. I eventually went to a dry protector for my iPad 3 because my case was lifting the BSE.

[Q] What is the best screen protector for the S3?

So I have an Otterbox case and I already took the original Otterbox screen protector out and replaced it. I replaced it with the Spigen Curved Crystal protector but it's already starting to come off since it didn't really completely cover the whole screen. So now I need to get a new one. Any ideas? Which ones do you guys think are the best?

i have the Armorsuit screen protector on mine, and i like it a lot.
it stays put just fine, even with a Incipio case on as well

I have a privacy protecter on mine with the otterbox defender series

I ordered a Skinomi screen protector from Amazon about 2 months ago. This is the worst piece of crap I've used. I read decent reviews prior to my purchase and nobody mentioned that it is extremely soft. I probably have 20 or so fingernail indentations on the protector which is totally weak. I'm interested in hearing what others think are the best since I will be in the market for a more durable screen protector that covers the entire screen.

I'm using liquid armor for more then 3 months. For now it works good. I only got 1 small, almost invisible scratch, but that was after keeping knife, screwdrivers and a lot of other sharp objects in my pocket with phone. And it was after almost 3 months since last coating.
If you don't like that then I recommend buying invisibleshield extreme. My friend has that and it works great for him. I'm thinking about buying it myself.
