Just ordered one...will give feedback when I receive.

Skinomi protectors are nice, had one for my sensation and it was like butter

Good deal, but I'm just going with TPU smoke translucent case and no protector. Gorilla glass seems pretty tough

I own a painting business so i must have all the protection i can get but i guess i could just use my evo 3d that i have flashed to boost for my work phone...thats about all its good for...lol

One word "Sand"

Are these better than the one that comes with a TPU case?
I've used Otterboxes before, those had excellent packaged protectors, but I'm new to TPU.

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??

I have had skinomi protectors on all my devices (Xoom, iPad2, Htc evo, 3VO)
You cant go wrong with this protectors.

Really curious to know how this fits with the TPU cases. The screen protector that came with my TPU case was a little too big to use at the same time as the case.

how does Skinomi compare to invisible shields ???

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.

Ordered this. On its way. Will let you know how it work.

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.

I bought one of the no glare ones from the verizon store when I pre-ordered my X, and I still have the same one on and it's awesome. Great in sunlight too.
SGP Steinheil Ultra Crystal Clear
or
SGP Steinheil Anti-Fingerprint Film
are really good screen protectors.
^ This this this.
I went the Zagg route, thanks all!
+1 for the SGP Steinheil Ultra Crystal Clear
The slight orange peel surface on the Zagg puts me off it, but I use it on most of my other gadgets that don't have such pretty screens as the Dx.

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.

Sent from my DROIDX using xda premium
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.

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

[SCREEN PROTECTORS] What do you use?

I've been look around to find a nice screen protector to use. I've been using a crappy $1 from eBay, which don't get me wrong does the job, but I'm looking for something nicer. Something with more quality and maybe a different option, like oleophobic or something.
I've been looking around and reading a lot of reviews. It seems I'm stuck and I can't decide.
Realook VS. Spigen
What do you suggest? Any thought? What do you use for a screen protector?

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Your screen protectors scratch easily? I don't even think that they are near necessary with this phone. I've had mine for about 5 and a half months, I work construction and carry it around in my pocket without a case or screen protector and I don't have a single scratch on the thing. It's neigh invulnerable the only damage to it is a thin scratch along the bottom back by the speaker but its not on the glass so I don't care.
The Zagg Invisibleshield is pretty good, but it has kind of an orange peel look to it. I've only been told good things about the Steinheil Ultra Crystal screen protectors. You could always try that, or the other screen protectors they have.

XO skins does a great job little less orange peel look and not quite as sticky as zagg invisible shield though both are good products priced about the same. I've used both xo on my e4gt now zagg on my evo 4g.
Check out the Steinheil screen protectors (Amazon search: Steinheil Epic 4g Touch). They are pricey, but well worth it. I have the Ultra Crystal on mine and although it still picks up fingerprints they wipe right off with a microfiber cloth. I've had it on since I got my phone 4 months ago and there is not a single scratch on it anywhere. They do have different types (like the oleophobic) so you should find what you're looking for.
i use from radio shack or walmart there universal in a blue package u get 5 for 11 bucks if ur good at puttin them on like i am 1 last me 4 months and im a metal fabricator... im rough. gl!

Yea the spigen is the same as the steinheil. I don't know which 1 to get tho.

If you have any intention on re-selling your device, then you will get way less if the screen is all scratched to ****.

[Q] Scratched Screen Repair?

I don't really know how, but on my screen I have a bunch of scratches all in one area and one of them is deep enough to feel my fingernail with. Obviously that deep scratch can't be fixed, but is there any polish or something that can help remove these scratches? They're very annoying to glance at when at a certain angle, and although a glass replacement would be nice, I don't think that's covered by warranty (I'm non-rooted, so haven't voided it), and a glass replacement could potentially cause problems with the display not being placed right or not being as responsive.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
Dont buy any scratch removers, all BS. And dont worry about them
Seriously though, buy a nice sgp glas protector, or sgp normal screen protector. Or live with the chance it could get scratched again before you decide to sell it and get an iphone

You could also try using a lens restore kit from a autoparts store to buff them down, but that may screw up the coating, never tried it.

[Q] Best Glass Screen Protector?

Hello Everyone,
I am interested in buying a glass screen protector for my phone. There are couple out there but I am unsure with which I should buy. I am debating between iloome Screenmate and Seidio Vitreo however I am not sure which is better. Do any of you have a good glass screen protector? Thanks
Buy a UAG case. It comes with a protector. If you want a holster, Amazon sells one by Reiko that even works with an Otterbox Defender. It's a fantastic holster, and was like 3 dollars. And the holster comes with a screen protector, too!
Honestly wouldn't spend a lot of money on one. Think they are mostly the same. Mostly paying for brand.
If you don't want a holster, just pick up some cheap intl s3 ones. Recommend you buy a pack.
If your not looking for a case that comes with a protector, I would just get a pack of clear protectors off of ebay for a few bucks. I had one on my phone before I got my otterbox defender, which has one built in. The cheap ones did just as good of a job as the one on my otterbox.
Man you guys totally did not answer his question, he's asking about those glass screen protectors not those crappy ones from ebay. Personally op I'd go with the Iloome simply because I have one and it is totally awesome. It feels just like glass and it doesn't interfere witb the touch screen.

How is the iloome with cases? I have a seidio active case, do you think it will be compatible?
I'm not sure what one you should buy since i use the cheap ones and love them. However, a buddy of mine has the Gorilla glass protector and I don't like it. It has a very weird texture to it. It's almost like orange peel with little divots all over it. I think this is meant to reduce glare... I just don't like the feel though. I may have to check out one of those iloome for myself though.
