I bought the screen protector package from tmobile. Hated them and ripped them off.
Bought a Clear Freak. Not bad. Not great either.
My biggest problem is that I bought this phone, out of contract for $500 because it has this amazing screen. So I want to protect it so it continues to look amazing, but in doing so I make it look like total ****. So it is a self defeating endeavor. It is a great paradox. How do I protect the screen and make it look amazing?
In the past I have used Seidio inward facing cases. That protects from most accidental damage and a micro fiber cloth to clean dust and fingerprints a couple of times per day.
I really just feel like using a screen protector on this AWESOME screen is blasphemy. I just tore off the clear freak while writing this, the screen looks 10x better without it. Using a screen protector on this phone is very similar to just leaving it in the box, or just using an inferior screen.
Basically I didn't buy a $500 phone with the most awesome screen on the market so that I could slap a piece of plastic on it and make it look worse than an old G1 screen.
What are your thoughts?
I use the RealLook screen protector and it is hard to even tell that it is on there.

So true, so true...
Does realook collect dust around the edges of the screen. That is the main reason I took the gadget guard off.
I used the clearfreak and I really can't tell much of a difference. I spent a good fifteen minutes getting it perfect, though.
I have used a couple of different screen protectors and was about to buy the reallook this morning on amazon because I just don't dig the clear freak. It does look invisible but you can tell a huge different in the crispness of the screen with it on there. I believe that is going to be the case no matter what. So I have made decided to go bareback and just hope that I can keep it scratch free!
I tried the T-Mobile and Realook screen protectors. I've given up. I just don't like screen protectors.
The T-Mobile screen protectors are horrible, the matte finish degrades the screen, had them and got rid of them.
I'm now using the reallook and if applied correctly, you can't tell it's on the phone, it's very, very good, covers the entire screen, and screen senssitivity is not affected. So far no dust on mine around the edges either.
If the phone will not be scratched by anything, so why bother putting protector on?
I got one piece of gadgetguard and I feel more confidence sliding my finger across the screen harder and harder without worry.
Agree that no screen protector is the best, but I have the reallook cover and I'm very happy with it. Screen still looks awesome.

I have a Realook and I am very, very happy with it! I have installed T-Mobile protectors on other phones and didn't like them. With the Realook I have to tell people that my phone actually has a protector installed.
I have not used Zagg but after installing the Realook on my Vibrant I don't plan to install any other brand.

I thought the same thing. I now have a scratch in the center of my screen, I don't even know what it's from. The strange thing is I am super protective about my device and it has never been dropped. The only thing I can think of is something in my pocket but I never keep it in the same pocket as anything else.
Bare naked at the moment...waiting for "the best skin ever" skin to come out.
I have a feeling that I'm goin to prefer bare skinned... but with some kind of case...otterbox? Anyone?

Invisible Gadget Guard
I am using a screen protector from Invisible Gadget Guard, and i really can't tell that it is there. I did have to take about a half hour to make it look that good though.
Had a Realook but it made the capacitative buttons along the bottom less sensitive. I took it off and am debating on going back to a screen protector. If my screen gets scratched up that bad I will just call Tmobile customer service and tell them I need a new phone because my phone is sucking down batteries in less than 2 hours. Works every time!!!!
I HATED the T-Mobile screen protectors I had. I switched to realook and swear by them now. As long as you take your time putting it on, the results are beautiful.
i like the clearfreak, it was a pain to put on but its feel is very close to the screen itself
I really think realook is the way to go. I've used many different brands of screen protectors and this by far is the best. Like ppl have said before you really cant tell that there's a screen protector on the phone
I have clear freak right now but there is one small spec of dust under it and its annoying the hell out of me. I picked up some realook screen protectors think I'm going to try and switch to those.

funny you mention that - i have the same thing.
I ordered 2 of the 3.99 clearfreaks, but my next purchase will be the Realook
What screen protector are you using/plan on using? I got the zagg for the Incredible 2 as I don't think there's too many made for the phone yet aside from on eBay. It's my first zagg, and its alright. Would prefer something less sticky feeling though.

Maybe not for fear of scratches, but one is definitely still desirable to help keep the buildup of various gunk on the screen down. All of those skin oils from fingers and the side of one's face add up over time, not to mention if the user has makeup, hairspray, hair gel, or any other number of products that get on the screen. If all of that isn't promptly cleaned off, it can become increasingly difficult to remove.
I'm considering picking up an Incredible 2, and if I do, I'll be picking this up:
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Ultimate-Screen-Guard-Incredible/dp/B004XC6LMM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1305296213&sr=8-2
After years of using every type of screen protector known to man, I've found Seidio's to be some of the easiest to apply (and reapply if necessary), they don't reduce the "feel" or touch sensitivity of the screen, and they last (the packages typically come with two, but I've never had to replace the first one I put on). I used them on my Droid X and currently have one on my Droid Pro.

I will take a look at that one thanks. I agree I feel like a screen protector is worthwhile just in case. I removed the zagg though and am using the one that came with the otterbox case now, which has a texture nearly identical to the bare screen. I didn't like the slight tackiness of the feel on the zagg.

Don't know about this phone, because I've only had it a couple of weeks. But based on 16 months experience with the original Motorola Droid, I'd give the screen a quick huff of breath to provide a little moisture then wipe away with a microfibre cloth. I could polish that sucker until it was like brand new with only a little effort. After 16 months that Droid screen is still as smooth, slick and damage-free as the new Inc2 screen fresh from the box.
If you want a screen protector go for it, but I seriously can't see any need or benefit.
I originally had the VzW screen protector that came with the "starter kit". It was an anti-glare style.
I hated it. It was only as big as the LCD so it did not cover the buttons or the top, etc...
The anti-glare washed the screen out IMO.
I ended up ordering the Seido ones bsweetness mentions above - I could not be happier!
Currently have the one from VZW that is the anti-glare one. Probably the same one nayr and others have had. I don't have any issues with it, but I may be a bit more forgiving I guess.
Never used a screen protector on my Eris. It never had a scratch on the display. It was very easy to give it a quick wipe if needed. I had used keys on my Eris' display to show people why screen protectors really aren't all that better than a bare display.
The tempered glass on the I2 is much better than what was on my Eris. I still don't use a screen protector. I've taken a blade to the glass and it wouldn't scratch. It's easy to wipe off. No special cloth or cleaner required for typical use. Occasional cleaner might be needed with rough use.
Nothing will protect your display from a drop. That's my only worry.
I use Seidio screen protectors for my DroidX and my wife's Inc2 and I have been very happy with them
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/spm1htncs.htm
It's so clear that I don't even remember that I have a protector on sometimes
I buy the 2-pack just in case, I still haven't used the second one for my DroidX
Realook is hands down the best screen protectors i've used. It's too bad that they don't make it for the inc 2 yet.
They're completely invisible when applied, they feel exactly like the glass. I ended up purchasing the zagg invisible shield even though I hate how they "stick" when you try and use the phone. Although it gets better when you use it over time.
I think i'm just going to do without one untill a realook is available. Those things are the best thing since sliced bread when it comes to screen protectors.
Zagg InvisibleShield. 100%

I feel the same way about skins, but that has me reconsidering. Take a good look at the edges of the raised areas though-where there are seams. They're easier to see in the silver version, but I think it would look better in the black...
Sorry this is a little off-topic
I have a full skinomi carbon fiber skin on my gTablet and it worked out great. So, I decided to get the skinomi screen protector for my Dinc2. It turned out HORRIBLE.
Skinomi sent me replacements 2 separate times and each one was defective. I tried out the Clarivue screens and I'm really happy with them. They stick extremely well and are like glass. Yes, you have finger prints but doesn't bother me.
clarivue.com/htc-incredible-2-screen-protector.html
SGP just released their Inc2 films. Sadly only UC and UF. No UOptics or UOleo. Seriously considering it just to make the metal/glass edge not as steep...
I just received both the anti glare and the crystal boxwave protectors after a lot of deliberation. to those using the verizon antiglare protectors who are afraid of the rainbow effect of ag screen protectors, don't hesitate to get the boxwave antiglare. The rainbow effect is barely noticeable. Very happy with these protectors (enough to actually post in this forum).
When I had my D1, people always asked me how I kept my screen safe. I laughed, mentioned gorilla glass, and then pummeled the screen with my key. The look of horror on their face was priceless, almost as good as the amazement when I showed them that the screen was fine. That's why I never understood the whole rugged thing. I mean, my little buddy was a champ, and all I used was the standard hard case Vzw gave me. Of course, I haven't tried that with my Dinc2 yet, seeing as I've had it less than a month, but I can imagine a similar result. That hasn't stopped me from getting a screen protector this time around, though
My protector had a slight 'scratch' on it, and in my annoyance, I went to replace it with one of the two remaining in my VZW/HTC pack (luckily not on the real screen though.) Crap managed to slip between the screen & protector on number 2, and number 3 had residue on the screen side, even though the dual-cover was still on it correctly.
I dropped by VZW to buy more, but instead of getting whichever version I had before, the rep gave me some anti-glare ones in the same packaging. I hate them. Every pixel looks like it's shining through frosted glass, and it's ruining my movie/tv experience.
Catch is, I never wrote down the type of protector I had before (it was glossy and easily reflected light,) but didn't degrade the image while using the display. Does somebody know the type offhand?
Or, even better, can anyone recommend a better protector if one exists? $16 for 3 tiny sheets of clear plastic seems like highway robbery.
I've always used the cheap generic ones on eBay that come from Hong Kong after having a surprisingly good one on my PSP.
Though you run the slight chance of running into a seller that has the low quality screen protectors (I've had a coworker that received some that had light scratches immediately, as you're running your fingers across it), it's still a relatively cheap gamble (less than $5).
The good ones are scratch-resistant, do not take away any quality from the screen, and are barely noticeable. The only downside, they pick up fingerprint oils VERY easily. If that bothers you, have a microfiber cloth with you. IMO they are on par with the Steinheils.
I bought mine before the Thunderbolt's release (to prepare for its arrival!) for $3.80 for 6x screen protectors. They're still within the same price range.

Those are the best screen protectors I've ever used. I have the ultra clear one and I can't tell that it's there. And it's super smooth!
It does get pretty fingerprinty though and I've heard good things about their "anti-fingerprint" line. It's worth a look if you care about that kind of stuff.

The anti-fingerprint ones are matte. They have that frosted look. Personally, I prefer ghost armor or ZAGG over the stienheils. It's because I like wet application though so I don't get crap stuck between the screen and the screen protector.

Use that link and order the ultra fine screen protector. It's the yellow one and is anti-fingerprint. The way these screen protectors feel are fantastic. They're super smooth and glide very easily. Comparatively speaking, the zagg shields IMO are sticky. I also feel weird getting my phone wet to put on a screen protector. Just me though....

Hello Folks,
I know there are loads of screen protector threads out there but none of them are recent for the MotoX.
I have had an XtremeGuard Protector on my X for a few months, but the gummyness, orange peel and lack of screen sensitivity is killing me.
What are some good current options that are $15 or under ?
Thanks,
Pete
I'm currently using the SUPCASE Screen protector that came with my case: has everything I need to get it on once and only once(even comes with a lint remover film). Looks and feel great. I don't know what you mean by 'gummyness though, the only screen protector I would describe that has a gummy-like feel(especially when I pinch with my fingernail is the Skinomi brands.

I bought a couple of the Mimeusa.com glass screen protectors, one for my wife and another for myself. Installed mine first, its a little different installing such a stiff protector, luckily i was able to lift it back up easily a couple times to adjust the positioning.
The wifes I installed a couple hours after, and it felt like it gave me more problems. didn't want to get positioned right, but eventually I got it lined up well.
The next day it fell off in her car while she was driving and got covered in dirt and dust on the adhesive side.
Mine is still on, after 2 weeks of use;
The texture is awesome! i hate most screen protectors, but this is glass and feels so good to the touch. you hardly notice its there.
It hasn't taken and scratches, and it does feel like fingerprints are less noticeable than on the bare screen.
I don't have a case of my X yet, ordered a bumper from amazon, but its not here yet.
I feel that the protector gathers small fibers easily at the edge. there are a couple of very small fibers that have worked there way just under the edge of the glass. They are hardly noticeable, especially when the screen is on.
I have not seen any new accumulation since the first few days, so maybe its more prone to catching the fibers in the hours / day after installation. I would advise avoiding pockets for 24 hours after installing this product if you can.
I will probably use this screen protector until it chips/breaks/gets too scratched up, and then go naked screen for the rest of the phones life.
If you are intending to spend $15 for a screen protector, might as well get a tempered glass one. I'm using this one: http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Motorola-Ultra-Thin-Tempered-Protector/dp/B00E0CUP18/
If you installed it correctly the first time, it should stay stuck and without any bubbles.

I would just like to throw out my support for Liquid Armor. I use it on all of my touchscreen devices, and have never had a scratch on a screen since, and it feels just like glass, without anything on it. The best part is that the one bottle can be used for several screens. Though if you don't use it in a couple months, the stuff will harden in the nozzle of the bottle, making it more difficult to use.

Disclaimer: I posted this in a couple other threads, but I wanted to try and post it where I know we've been discussing tempered glass screen protectors.
Here's some pictures of the redesigned i-Blason protector. As you can see, there is now a cutout for the proximity sensor. The corners also fit the Moto X perfectly (their old design fit perfectly too). Very happy I finally have a protector that FITS and where the proximity sensor won't be blocked! I liked the i-Blason until I had started having proximity sensor issues because I had dropped it several times, and it never once cracked, unlike the MIME, which cracked the very first time I dropped it.

i have tempered glass on my moto X ( mimeusa.com/product/moto-x-ghost-glass-screen-protector/ ) since january.
it was very easy to install and the feel is wonderful. my only complaint is that when you drop your phone, it can crack. better a crack on the protector than a scratch on the device, right? my phone has been pretty suicidal lately, what w/ jumping off tables, so it has accumulated many cracks on the protector. i am replacing it (with same ghost glass) and also buying a bumper case ... that may make a difference in the life span of the protector.
this is my first glass protector and yes i like it. on previous devices i used zagg screen protectors and was VERY HAPPY with them, but when i ordered their protector for the moto X, i found that they must have screwed up on the device specs, as the film didn't even cover the entire viewing screen. UNACCEPTABLE! i will not go back to their products.
I had the MIMEUSA and was very happy with the feel of the MIMEUSA, but it didn't fit properly. The corners were too squared and extended over the screen. The edges were also suppose to be beveled to prevent chipping but mine seemed like they were beveled out, leaving a lip on the glass. This all led to the edges chipping and eventually a larger break.
I ordered the i-Blason to try it and am very happy. The fit is perfect, its quite a bit thinner than the MIMEUSA, and it feels just as slick and smooth as the MIMEUSA and the glass screen. I would recommend the i-Blason over the MIMEUSA. And the i-Blason is only $17 on Amazon making it about the same price as the high quality plastic protectors.

As the question in title goes, how many of you here are not using a screen protector on your Oneplus 3/3T? What's your experience so far without one? Any good or bad?
As for me, after going through probably a dozen of screen protectors (both TGSP and films), I have decided that it's time I should just not bother with screen protectors anymore, since none of them provide a good/smooth experience as compared to the beautiful naked screen

Been using mine without a screen protector for around 5 months now. Not a single scratch.
I didn't like how bouncy the original screen guard was so i replaced it with a curved, full cover one. But i didn't like the dotmatrix bull**** so i got rid of it.
I actually don't need a screen guard or a case since i almost never drop anything.
EDIT: I also don't put anything other than my phone and maybe tissues in my pocket.
I used the Orzly Screen protector for about Two weeks in December when I first got the phone. Hated it so threw it away and went without one ever since. I use a Spigen Rugged Armor case and that is it. No nicks or scratches so far. I keep it in a pocket by itself all of the time. I remember dropping it twice but it landed on the corners both times and didn't even damage the case..
I tried Orzly V2 but the rainbow effect in the screen was a s**t... So, i tried the rhinoshield: id does not cover all the screen (1 millimeter on the left and 1 mm on the right) but for the moment is the best protector I've ever seen.
I've been using my phone without a screen protector since I've had it and the only way you can see any tiny little surface scratches is with a head torch on and scrutinising the screen surface. As another member has mentioned, I have been using just a Spigen rugged armour case and that's it. The screen won't get badly scratched if you are careful enough, I'll happily accept some light scratches just as part of the wear and tear process.
I have from today started trying an orzly glass screen protector purely because I have fitted a new phone holder bag thing to my road bike and I feel I mike get scratches on the screen through taking it in and out. The orzly isn't bad, especially for the money, but I can see why people don't like it.
Once a screen protector shows its first bubble i remove it. Annoying otherwise. Screen protectors are just worthless to me. Dont expose your phone screen to anything other than your pocket or finger. Get a case with a lip lift so settings your phone down sets it on its case not the screen. Screen protectors are mostly plastic anyway so you get that nasty plastic feel aside from the feel of a touchscreen panel. The feel of using a touchscreen alone is enough to not want the screen protector for me.

Glad i could help. Last time i used a screen protector it was ruined rifht when i put it on. The reason gorilla Glass exists is to prevents scuff and scratches. Screen protectors give it unnecessary help. Its already protecting against shattering and scratches. If you are scratching the screen with normal use then cut your fingernails. Or take the acrylics off, theyre ridiculous anyway.
I'm without any screen protector as well.
As mentioned the only scratches I see are those tiny ones which can be only seen under direct sunlight or under torch and on specific angle.
My heart stopped one day when I dropped my phone straight onto marble, was already searching for rs10000 but the screen fell flat and absorbed the impact, there was not even a scratch on the screen.
Been using from a month without screen protector or back cover, just a skin.
Going pretty well till now, specially when you put sky blue wallpaper with naked screen it shines quite unique.
Maybe you could try.
I've never been a fan of screen protectors. My phone screen is bare and still is as good as new.

My goodness!! That's probably the strongest phone screen survival from a fall I have ever heard of! Lucky you indeed
Ahh, I'll take note of the sky blue wallpaper for when I change my wp next time. Cheers

Actually it fell exactly parallel to the floor, if it was tilted even a few degrees, screen would have cracked.
Yeah lucky me
I use mine without a screen protector and case. I use a dbrand skin black/red to cover the back and not get a y scratches. For the screen it doesn't have a scratch since I got it. Whenever I put a screen protector or tempered glass, the screen gets blurry and/or not clear.

Yup, I know. And the screen just does not feel right with a screen protector on!
