Steinheil Screen Protectors Out for Thunderbolt

Just an FYI as I know I like to have my screen protector on the day I purchase my phone. Steinheil has all three of their major products for the Thunderbolt now available. Just ordered mine.
Ultra Crystal, Ultra Fine and the Ultra Oleophobic.
I will have to say that I have tried a ton of different protectors in my time and nothing compares to Steinheil.
Crossing fingers for a TB release tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads upon these, I always like to purchase their screen protectors.

Anyone used the Incredible Shield they offer? I put my Incredible in a case when i got it and took it out to clean it a month later and it was all scuffed and scratched up. Dont want that to happen again.

This is my first smartphone, so whats the difference between the three?

Just got mine in the mail yesterday and got to order my Seidio case. That way I am all ready whenever they decide to drop this phone.
As far as the difference between the three:
The Ultra Crystal is bascially the defacto standard for Steinheil. Crystal clear and to me actually enhances the actual screen.
The Oleophobic is new to me but thats actually the one I purchased. Its supposedly like the ultra clear but with an anti-water/oil coating (the iphone has this caoting on the default screen itself.)
The anti-fingerprint one I have also installed on my wife and mother-in-laws's Facinates. Its basically a matte finish that doesn't show any fingerprints but does in my opinion not do justice to the screens on these new phones. But some users just really hate fingerprints.
Hope this helps.

lilsalmon, have you ever seen the Incredible Shield they offer? I was thinking of getting this instead of a case.

Not first hand.
All I can say is I have tried quite a few different cases and screen protectors with my Incredible, Droid 1 and my wife's Facinate and Eris and Steinheil's screen protectors are far superior to all in my opinion.

Can you post pics of the Oleophobic? Ive always used the ultra clears and love them but I wonder how different the Oleophobic is?
Thanks

I've been using the Ultra fine ones for the past 2 days and I love it. I only use SPG screen protectors.

Can't wait to hear what you think of it.
I made the mistake of buying the VZW screens and wound up w/ a scratch on my screen...ugh.

The picture won't show much difference than the Ultra Crystal. Honestly I had always used the Ultra Crystal myself and just wanted to try the Oleophobic. I have been really impressed. Its basically the same clarity etc as the Ultra Crystal but resists fingerprints a bit more. You still get finger prints but not as many.
I hope this helps.

Steinheil fit
How good does the Steinheil protector fit? Does it cover the
complete screen?
Thanks in advance

Fits perfect. You wont even know there is a protector on it.

Got mine installed this past weekend. Best screen protector I have used Had a Zagg on my D1 but hated the rubbery feel. Using the crystal clear and it glides smoother then nothing at all..

Just ordered the Ultra Fine from Amazon. Should be arriving on Friday.

Sounds like the Oleophobic is the way to go, I hope I can get my Zagg off without to much trouble. Has anyone removed a Zagg, what did you use to accomplish it and get the screen clean?

The Zagg should come off no problem. I just removed mine.. nice protection but hate the feel of it.

I got the SGP ultra fine, the first one had problems where the pull tab is for peeling it. The 2nd looked much better, i love the way it feels, finger usually just glides across the screen without grabbing or sticking. The fit is good, just enough room to get it on without it having to be exactly perfect.

They cover the screen but the fit is not "perfect" by definition. They are slightly narrower and shorter than the screen but I've never seen a screen protector with a "perfect" fit. Not sure why it's so hard to make a protector exactly the same size as the screen but apparently it is.
I'm satisfied with mine but I'm not sure it's worth the price premium over the cheap protectors I was using prior to this one. I guess time will tell.

LOVE my $1 XtremeGUARD screen protector!

Got this screen protector from Amazon for $1. Ordered Friday, got today. Not bad! Anyways, it was $1! I had a little squirt bottle of solution from a Zagg I had on an iphone and used it to apply. Went on great, feels thick but not annoying thick and sticky like a Zagg. After the solution dried, it looks great. Anyways, did I mention it was $1?!
http://www.amazon.com/XtremeGUARD©-...FR0Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1302064917&sr=8-1

does it have those really annoying lines when viewing a white screen? my Zagg does that and it's really annoying

I don't see any when looking at white on here... just the usual **** from the screen itself
XDA: 12 HELPFUL PEOPLE AND 1584641849682579451694.5 complaining, ignoramous pansies.

Awesome thanks for that, i wanted to replace my zagg anyways

Extreme Guards are nice
This is a great find IMO. I've been using this specific screen protector since the 2nd or 3rd month of using my phone. I got mine off ebay and thought i got a good deal at the time but it wasn't $1 + FREE SHIPPING!!
I use cases everyday went from generic to BodyGlove to currently Otterbox and the screen protector has held up well with only minor smudges/indents(i put one on my sisters vibrant at the same time, she does not use casses everyday and you can tell cuz the screen protector has smudges all over it LOL). This is my first "wet" screen protector and all in all im half/half on it.
PROs -
- REALLY love the clear crisp look. This thing really lets the phones awesome screen show off to its full ability!
CONs -
- getting water around my phone makes me scared!
- a little more difficult to install than normal "dry" type screen protectors
- the smudges/indents are permanent its almost like "wet" protectors are thinner and softer
thanks again for this awesome find!

Wow thanks for 1$ i guess ill try it

I went ahead and picked up 3 of these (just in case I messed up the install). Grand total of $3, with free shipping. They came in the mail within 2 days, not too bad.
Anyways, I had the Tmobile branded screen protector on my Vibrant since the day I bought it (and having used the 2nd to replace the first when it wore out). When I took the old protector off, I was blown away by the quality of the phone display. I forgot how awesome it was since I got used to using the screen protector. I carefully put one of these on it, and I have to say that there are no bubbles, and the screen maintains the same quality as if there was no cover on it at all. This protector blows the tmobile branded version away and it also covers the "buttons" at the bottom of the phone, which were left uncovered by the old protector.
Having now tried these out, they are WELL WORTH the price.
You can't beat $1, and they work well and look very nice. You almost can't even tell there is one on the phone.
Anyways, that's my 2 cents, and I'll recommend these to anyone that asks.

I also have this screen protector, and it's realy great !

I bought this too and it was a horrible screen protector.

I bought one of these based on the reviews, and so far I'm disappointed. There appear to be multicolor streaks all over the screen when it's turned on, as if there is grease all over it, especially when the screen is white. Anyone else have this happen or have a solution for it? This makes my screen look horrible.

It tends to start out like that, but clears up as the moisture between it and the screen evaporates.
I have applied 2 of these now and have had no issues whatsoever with them.

True but compared to my old zagg this one looks still greesy and scratches can be seen D:

Hey guys, I recently bought one of these off Amazon when I ordered my Otterbox case, it was only $2 so I figured I had nothing to lose. Here's my take on it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19109961#post19109961

For those of you complaining, you probably just didn't install it right. I've had mine for a long time and I love it to pieces. The screen is bright, clear and unscratched. It doesn't get in the way of using the touch screen either.

SGP Flex screen protector review and pictures

I just received and fitted my SGP Flex screen protector so I thought I'd put up a few pictures for those considering it.
i.imgur.com/J1P3L.jpg
i.imgur.com/sSbOB.jpg
i.imgur.com/BwwkO.jpg
i.imgur.com/BSShs.jpg
I can't post images yet.
It was pretty straight forward to fit, a few bubbles under the film that i had to push out though. The surface is slightly grippy. This is my first screen protector (and smartphone) so I'm not able to give a comparison but I'd certainly say it's not as smooth as using the nexus bare.
I'm happy with it but I'll probably try a non spray type in the future to see how it compares.
As you can see the screen protector covers a larger area than the SGP Steinheil Ultra Oleophobic, pretty much right to the edge of the screen before it curves.

can you fix the pics link ?

Not until I have 8 posts. Just copy paste into the address bar. Sorry.

I am interested in hearing your thoughts on screen clarity and any rainbowing from it as well.

Thanks for fixing the links.
Screen clarity is great. The film is not noticeable from the angles you would be using the phone but there are some slight ripples you can see from extreme angles. The second picture I posted shows this.
The film claims to able to heal itself and I have noticed overnight some slight marks (again only visible from the side) I made by pushing air bubbles out with my fingernail have disappeared.
No rain-bowing whatsoever as far as I can tell.
I would guess the film would be crystal clear not anti glare, I can't see it mentioned anywhere. Maybe check the product site.
I purchased from the SGP store (search SGP Flex Galaxy Nexus, sorry still can't post links)
and Paid $50 total with the most expensive shipping to Australia which took 3 days including a weekend.

I've just paid £20 for one of these to be shipped from South Korea to the UK with express delivery. I ordered on Saturday and had an email saying it was shipped today. I hope it's worth it.

I also just ordered mine in anticipation of the hopefully soon VZW release.

Just grabbed one of these US$17 delivered.
Hopefully they are ok, I loved the Bodyguardz on my iPhone.

Thanks for the pictures and impressions.
This new Flex series seems a lot like Zagg InvisibleShields I had for my Droid X. Depth's pictures show the typical "orange peel" texture that is associated with most wet application screen protectors.
Not exactly my cup of tea, but I'm a bit thrown off by the lack of full screen coverage with the Steinheil Oleophobic model. Thus I'm still debating which is the best solution to go with. I inquired about a Ultra Crystal and Optics version for the Galaxy Nexus and Steinheil customer support had no clue.

for me, either realook or martin fields for the screen protector and a wet invisi-type protection for the body!
i guess that is one good thing waiting for a bit for the GSM North american versions. by the time we get it, we'll have loads of accesssories to choose from.
but of course i'm an impatient american and want my gnex now, so gonna order next week!!!!
just waiting on the vzw release and see if there is a gsm version coming soon to USA.

Mine arrived today and I was really careful with keeping my phone scratch free. I cleaned it with the cloth and perfect, not a scratch anywhere. I fitted the screen protector and still managed to trap a small speck of dust. Lol.
All in all the fit is great and the casemate tough along with the sgp should keep my phone immaculate for years to come. I would recommend this to anyone as the protector is quite thick but doesn't seem to spoil the display at all.

yup same here i used ALL of the solution trying to get the dust out and there is still 1 spec left right near the edge .....but ive seen it and it annoys me lol

What about smudges and fingerprints.. can they be easily wiped off? I ordered mine just now and I hope it won't attract too much of that.

With the wet application, does the protector cling to the screen immediately like a dry application, or does it slide around a bit, making for easier aligning?

Yes but For a short time. Of You hands a moist fingers tend to "skip".

Can you comment if it has an orange peel effect? I abhor screen protectors that offer that kind of look. I refuse to put one of those on that screen. I was planning on buying one right now so I will have it the day I get my Nexus on VZW. If you can take a really good picture of the screen to show any kind of effect if any, I would appreciate it. Thank you very much!

T-mobile screen protector...who makes it?

This one: Link
I should preface this by saying it's the nicest screen protector I've ever used. It's crystal clear and has been great since I picked up the phone. I'd like to see what else they have, but t-mobile just rebrands it as their own. My daily driver(Galaxy nexus) should really have a screen protector on it, but all of the ones I've tried make the screen look like crap.
It really is surprisingly good, if you don't have a screen protector yet, I highly recommend giving this one a chance.

looking at the price i would expect it to be pretty good also
ive been using SGP steinheil's ultra crystal clear (w.e its called) and they have the best screen protectors ive ever used....maybe its the same one its around the same price anyways

You'd think that...but look at the zagg ones, they're 20+ dollars(for only one) and they make the screen look terrible!
I'm looking at the SGP ones for the galaxy nexus now, and it would seem that the only real complaint is that it doesn't cover the whole screen, and that they left a 2mm-ish border around the whole thing. That's a bummer...

Personally I love my zagg, and zagg is a love it or hate it product.
As for clarity, I think SPGs are the best in terms of clarity, but a little too pricey for me. Heck Zaggs are too, but I swallow the costs when there's 50% off sales regularly. That should be the normal price imo.

I've heard the SGP's still leave an oily rainbow effect, is that true?

Using SGP now..its oily but I don't get the rainbow. Also the T-Mobile screen protector isn't the same as SGP as it wasn't released for months after the launch of the t989.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

ive been using SGPs crystal one for about 6 months now
the only time u see a rainbowing effect is when theres enough liquid on the screen \water..sweat..oil.who knows what\
but ive never had a problem with it (i dont think ive ever actually seen the rainbowing effect other than when i clean the screen protector with water sometimes), just wipe it and its gone

Cruzerlite TruGlass Screen Protector Review

I should mention, I really dislike cases and most screen protectors in general. When I received my Nexus 5, I wanted to add some protection, however I did not want to put a case as I love the way the phone feels. I ordered one of the cheaper PET film protectors for my friend's N5 and after installing it on his I gave one a try on mine- I could live with it as you could barely see it, but I was not happy with the way it slightly changed the feel of the screen and it was a big fingerprint magnet, so my screen always looked dirty. Someone recommended the TruGlass Screen Protector and while it seemed great, I hesitated on spending $30 on a screen protector as you only get one shot at the perfect install. After much back and forth I finally ordered it. After ordering I got an email that stated there was a delay and it would be about a week and a half before it could ship - the email came with a $10 credit to use on another Cruzerlite product, which was a nice touch.
I received the screen protector a week later, it came with a little kit to assist with install and I used the method of taping the protector to the side of the phone before peeling the film back. The install went perfect and the protector looked and felt great. Only issue was that there was a slight chip on the top left corner. Other than the chip it was everything I wanted - completely clear, it kept finger prints away and it did not change the responsiveness or feeling of the naked screen. I immediately emailed Cruzerlite about the issue and quickly got a response letting me know they would happily send out a replacement free of charge if I could just send a picture of the issue. I received the second screen protect just a few days later (which was impressive given it was sent around the holidays) and it is absolutely perfect. It doesn't go completely to the edge of the device, so it can be used with a case - but it goes far enough to the edge that you do not have to use a case.
Let me know if anyone has any specific questions about the product.
tl;dl Coming from someone that likes "naked" devices, I would highly recommend spending the premium on TruGlass protector. It looks and feel great. Added bonus is Cruzerlite's amazing customer service.

Great to read this. my is on the way to Israel. will take some time i guess...
can u plz post some pics for your device with the screen protector?

Here is a pic of the first one that had the chip, it's dirty but you can see how far to the edges the protector goes. Once cleaned, it looks flawless but it's really the touch that stands out as the best feature - it feels exactly like the naked screen.

Such a great product. I just noticed they are available for the GS4 as well, I am going to have to pick one up for my wife's phone.

Ok so I got my hands on Cruzerlite TruGlass Screen Protector. First off I had sworn off glass screen protectors because of a past experience. But I thought what hell let's see what their protectors are all about. The price is very good compared to a lot of the competition first off. The screen protector is Lab tested nano-glass, Oleophobic coated, has a Anti-shatter film, has a 9H hardness rating and 0.25 MM thick. I applied the protector using the hinge method and it was a perfect apply. It seemed to just suction to the screen and all bubbles just ran out. Every corner stuck perfect which was my main issue with my previous glass screen protector that scared me away from these (was another brand). I honestly think the glass feels so much better than the screen of the nexus 5 itself. My finger just glides across the screen now and the glass is Crystal clear. It works well with every case I've tried which is a huge plus for those of us that use cases. Another thing I noticed is how easy it is to clean the screen. I've now had it on for over two weeks and everything looks like the day I applied it. I highly recommend these screen protectors and if I ever need to get another screen protector for my n5 it I'll be getting another one of these.
