Recommend a screen protector! - Galaxy S II Accessories

I need a screen protector for my Galaxy SII i9100 because I do not want to damage the screen. It should be a pack of 2-3 because I almost always mess up the first time.
It doesn't matter if it is glossy or matte, both are fine, but I am in the sun a lot so I should be able to still see the screen. Preferably something which gets rid of finger oils easily.
I live in USA, so Amazon or Ebay would be excellent.

I am using the Steinheil Ultra Series Screen Protector Films for my AT&T phone, the Ultra Crystal. It comes in a pack of 2. It was very easy to install, no bubble.
It keeps my screen scratch free and I still have the super nice clarity of the original Samsung AMOLED Plus screen.
They even have video to show you on how to do it on youtube or their website (sgpstore.com). There is no fingerprints issues with this Crystal version, you can just use their supplied Micro-fiber fabric and they go away.
You can buy them on Amazon for $13.99. The Ultra Optics which costs $2 more would be my other preference but it did not exist for my AT&T model.
Or you can try the Ultra Oleophobic which is oil resistant and is $13.99.

I use basic screen protector from ebay and work fine...

Phantomskinz - doesnt have the tacky/sticky feel (whilst offering same protection) of e.g zagg invisibleshield.
Google for discount code.

This is the best all around screen protector for the SGSII no doubt.

I would go with a 3M Estoc+ if budget allows.

Try the SGP Glas, although not fingerprint resistant, its a great screen protector which is made of real glass and is shatter-proof in case you drop it or hit it against something. The video on the website, the guy had to use a hammer and hit it twice to destroy it, but its not like you're gonna hit your phone with a hammer any day ^_^

ah, one more thing, when using this screen protector, you have to install the Ninphetamine kernel, due to the charging bug, where the screen is undervolted, the touches on the screen are not detected unless you install the kernel, which tweaks the voltage going through the screen, and the physical touches are being recognized. Other than this, it's a great screen protector + no worries of bubbling!

It's not so much the glass being broken, more the glass being scratched. Which, despite being Gorilla Glass, is still quite easy to do (I have a tiny scratch on mine despite looking after it and never having it in my pocket with anything else for example).

This is exactly the reason as to why I wussed out on gorilla glass and installed a screen protector

I just got the SGP Ultra-Fine and I'm very satisfied with it.
Very easy to install, no fingerprint, no glare.

Get the cheapest top rated ones you can find on amazon. I was tempted to buy an expensive one, glad I didn't. I got 6 cheap ones for £3. First one went on perfectly, it's not even scratched up, but when it does, there are 5 more to easily replace it with. Not necessary to spend tons on these, you end up paying for the brand.

I'm happy with my SGP Ultra Optics protector. Since you're in the States shipping will be negligible as well. It's a dry install, I've even removed it, and put it back on to get the alignment perfect without issue.
I've tried two "wet install" protectors: Zagg (Invisible Shield) and Ishieldz, both were not even remotely worth the cost and it results in phone downtime to ensure that everything is dried out after the install. Of the two Ishieldz was the better.

Im surprised nobody mentioned InvisibleShield or iShieldz. I personally believe they provide superior protection (especially the InvisibleShield, check out the videos section of their website).
Both come with LIFETIME warranty.
EDIT: Oops, didnt read the post above me. But I've NEVER had any issue with applying InvisibleShield or iShieldz. I had an invisible shield on my X10 and was able to take keys the the screen without any damage at all and installation was a breeze. I currently have an iShieldz on my SGSII.
I prefer wet installs to dry as it is much easier to make sure everything is lined up straight before finalizing the process.

Invisibleshield has a tacky sticky feel to it, which is why i use PhantomSkinz which doesnt.

i would just buy a pack of 5 from ebay...cost a few dollars

I use SGP ultra optic. it's the best!

I have been using SGP GLAS for a week and love it. Since it's real glass, it feels like there is nothing there. In fact, it has a smoother feel than the touchscreen glass.
Installation instructions must be followed explicitly, but once installed, it's great.
It's pricy at 32USD$, but worth the investment in my view.

is there actually a difference between those cheap no-name ones you can buy for $1, and branded ishield/skinomi/whatever?

Just to add to this; when I ordered my SGP case it came with an Ultra Crystal protector, I also ordered the Ultra Optics protectors. Was time for a screen protector change so I installed the Ultra Crystal since it was all I had left. Not pleased at all, magnified finger prints, but more importantly touch sensitivity was awful. Of the two Ultra Optics is much, much better, it just doesn't look as crystal clear and shiny as the Ultra Crystal one.
Put on a Belkin protector today, sensitivity is back. It has a similar optical quality and finish to the Ultra Crystal, hopefully it doesn't show finger prints as easily. It's not as custom cut as the SGP protectors however; the hole for the home button is open at the bottom rather than surrounding the button.
EDIT:
Belkin = fingerprint hell. Touch sensitivity was markedly better, but finger print residue was WORSE than the Ultra Crystal; so bad that it was hard to view the screen. I just tore the bloody thing off.

Sgp oleophpbic. I use the ultra crystal and after. 3 months I have to search for marks and even then barely find them. However oil from my fingers is the biggest hassle. I would trade a few scratches for less oil. Sgp ultra capsule is the one to get case wise. Full protection, screenguard included, slim, and no, just no, cheap Amazon screen guards are not the same. At all. Not a bit. Used them and they are a waste of money.

What is the best screen protector?

I just got my Droid X today and I know my screen is going to get scratched to hell and back. I bought a quality one off of ebay for my TP2 and it was an all out pain to get on; ended up throwing it away in anger.
So what is the best screen protector for the X? I would like one that covers the whole face not just the area you touch. I hear the vzw ones suck...
I was considering buying one of those body guard kits and let someone at the mall install it (i can never seem to get the bubbles out). Are they any good?
There really isn't a "best" screen protector. It depends on what you want in a screen protector. There are two main types, the kind that uses static adhesion (think the plastic sheet that was on the screen when you bought it) or the kind that uses a liquid adhesive. (like Zagg Invisible shield) The liquid adhesive ones typically have better protection, but can cause more distortion and are known to more severely affect the feel of the touch screen. They can also be a ***** to put on, prepare to spend at least 30 minutes to do a proper job, and you won't be able to use your phone for 24-48 hours while it dries. However, if you are really worried about getting the best protection, go for that.
Static adhesion ones are probably going to work for the majority of people, especially since the Droid X has Gorilla glass and many people say you don't even need a screen protector at all. I believe SGP (also known as Steinheil) makes high-quality static adhesion protectors, but they may be out of stock at the moment. I'm probably going to get an SGP for my DX when they get back in stock. Go for the crystal or ultra-crystal, i've heard reports that the anti-glare or anti-fingerprint affect the feel/drag and look of the screen more than the crystals.
tl;dr Get an SGP (Steinheil) crystal or ultra-crystal
I used one on my MT3G. It's still on there after a year.
On the DroidX I haven't put one on. It uses 'Gorilla Glass' which is really good, from Corning.
There's a video on youtube where a guy tried to scratch his screen with keys about 30 times and it didn't scratch at all.
I haven't heard about anyone getting a scratch yet, and I'm not going to put on a screen protector.
May not need one on the DroidX.
Has anyone gotten a scratch yet?

Yea those ultra crystals look pretty good. Ive never used an adhesive one before though... i dont really like the sound of it either. I've used the water ones and they work ok...
http://www.sgpstore.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=droid+x&x=0&y=0
These are the best ive found, and I have gone through FOUR brands now looking for what I want, including the verizon one.
The crystal clear ones are exaclty that -- crystal clear screen prots with adhesive on one side and a protective film on the other that you peel off the front when you are done applying the protector. THIS IS NOT THAT ZAGG POLYVINYL crap. I hate that stuff.
The anti-fingerprint ones are also nice, I have those too. They are a bit "cloudy" like the verizon ones, but your finger glides over them fantastically, and they reduce glare.
The best part is -- THEY COVER THE WHOLE SCREEN AREA! I wanted that especially. Enjoy!
well i think I am going to buy the crystal one... i just hope its not hard to put on. Im not the best at putting those sticky ones on

You don't need to use screen protectors on the Droid X. As stated before it has Gorilla Glass. If something happens that is strong enough to scratch Gorilla Glass a little plastic screen protector isn't going to stop it.
Steinheil Ultra Crystal is the best, hands down!
In my option, the best protector is the Steinheil Crsytal. I had it on my Incredible, my brother still does, and now I have the Steinheil Ultra Crystal on my DX. It keeps the screen perfectly glass looking, as if there is nothing on it, allows for easy sliding, and is nice and thick to protect the screen. In my opinion, you can't beat it.
With shipping I paid 17.25 for it... comes with 2 protectors. They initially lost my order, so they sent me another, and guess what? The original showed up. So now I am expecting another at the end of this week/beginning of next.
If anyone is interested in it, I would be happy to sell it since I obviously don't need it. Let me know. I also have an extra TPU argyle (dark gray) case that I would be willing to sell if the price is right. I paid 8 dollars, shipped, for it.
In my opinion, the SGP Ultra Crystal is by far the best protector for the X.
I've had the VZW protector, which was horrible, and I've also had a privacy guard. Though the privacy guard did keep my phone private, the touch screen functionality wasn't great because the privacy guard was too thick.
I ended up with the SGP Steinheil ULTRA CRYSTAL Screen Protector and I love it. It's so clear, and it almost feels like there is nothing on the screen, but it's pretty thick compared to others; thick enough to provide excellent protection and not hinder touch screen functionality.

Actually, Gorilla Glass can be scratched. I've managed to get a really bad 3 MM wide scratch on my Zune HD, which has Gorilla Glass as well. I've heard of similar reports of scratches on devices with Gorilla Glass. So in other words, these screens aren't scratch proof. They're scratch resistant.

SGP Steinheil ULTRA CRYSTAL Screen Protector +1
it's awesome. It comes with two, and I botched the first one... many would say it was fine, but I had like one spec of dust under it, removed, recleaned, reapplied number 2... it's AWESOME. I don't use a bumper or anything big and latexy around the outside of my phone, just a Steinheil on the screen, and nothing else. It's CLEAN.
SGP Ultra Crystal. Just put it on and I can safely say I'm very impressed. You really can't tell there's anything there imo. It was a pita to figure out how to put it on...at least for me. I had to watch a you tube video to realize there are actually 3 layers to each screen protector when first taken out of the package. Piece of cake after that. Gotta be smarter than the screen protector I guess.

After dealing with half a dozen screen protectors for my past 3 phones, Including Zagg, Seidio, and a bunch of other cheapies... I really recommend the Boxwave Crystal Touch.
It is literally the easiest thing I have ever applied, from out of the package to on my phone perfectly in less than a minute. You cannot even tell it is on your phone.

screen protector for galaxy tab

I just purchased one on amazon from ArmorSuit. Gotta be one of the best screen protectors out there. Way Way better then skinomi and the majority that is out there. 5/5 stars. Just my honest opinion. Want to help out those who are looking for something of quality. Go ahead and give it a try, you wont regret it.

This isn't the place I got my, but you can see all the different types.

couldn't find one here, hence bought a notebook screen protector and pruned it for perfect fit on my galaxy tab plus used the remnant for my phone.
I'm worried if I put an Invisibleshield screen protector on my GT 10.1 it will leave a permenant haze or film on the the screen when I decide to take it off. Can anyone offer any information? Thank you

3x screen protectors for $10 shipped. They're matte. Fit almost perfect (1mm smaller than the actual glass to prevent lifting).
I dont see any reason for a screen protector other than wanting to have a matte screen to remove the glare.

Most of us actually prefer our screen (gorilla glass or not) scratch-free. Having a protector gives you ease of mind when rubbing a smudge or fingerprint off too.

I just installed that exact same one from the same seller. Fits perfectly, especially around the camera and ambient light sensor. It adds a little bit of a grainy texture to the display, but all anti-glare films I've used do that. Not sure if it's really got an anti-grease / oleophobic coating as mine has some decent fingerprints, but the matte surface hides it well.
Tip to line it up the first time: before you take off the backing, line it up how you want it. Scotch tape it 3x on one of the edges, preferrably the one with the pull-tab for the backing. Make a tape handle for the opposite end of the screen. When you're ready to install it, hold the tape handle and pull the backing off with the tab, then pull the handle tight as you lay down the protector.
Trust me, I went through at least 7 different screen protectors (I got the Asus, Acer, and Samsung) and this is by far the best one out there. Good luck.

How does it stack up against InvisibleShield and the other 3M Scratchguard types? I usually don't like the texture on those.
Don't know about the ones I've been hearing about in this thread, but I've got InvisibleShield on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I'm probably never taking it off. It works wonders and I have the same protector for my HTC Evo. Never need another screen protector once you go InvisibleShield.
I myself have been searching for a screen protector for my tab. I have the invisishield on my evo4g, and I find that it adds quite a bit of sticky friction to swiping, or any time you drag your finger across the screen. It's not so important on the phone as it would be on the tab, so here's my question:
What sp will offer some protection, but doesn't add much friction to the touch experience.
Appreciate the input!

The one I mentioned above is smooth. The matte finish makes it feel more like high gloss paper than glass. I'm considering buying a clear protector from the same company though as the "sparkly" effect that the matte finish adds to the screen (esp. things that are solid green for some reason) is getting on my nerves.
I have the zagg invisibleSHIELD maximum protection, is was a little skeptical at first but really like it now the i have had it on for a coupke weeks. There is more grip to the tablet now, but i can still slide my fingers over the screen with no issues. I will say this though, if you have never installed something like this take your time whrn installing it.

Apologies if it has already been asked, i may have missed it.
I'd like to have a specific anti-glare screen protector, the glossy screen is not bad but still very reflective, a part from the usual fingerprints issue.
Any product that suits my needs?

[Q] Should I purchase a Zagg InvisibleShield screen protector or something else?

Hey guys. Just bought the S2 from Expansys-USA to use here with AT&T. It’s a fantastic device. However, I would like to also purchase a screen protector. Here’s where I need your guys' input and opinions.
In the past, I've used only the Zagg InvisibleShield and had them professionally installed at one of the Zagg carts/kiosks at my local malls. For the most part, they worked beautifully. Very smooth installation, although the screen itself had more of a "tacky" feel to it.
While researching the InvisibleShield for the S2, I came across this review on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WnL-Jcievc
Basically, the user gave a negative experience using the InvisibleShield and his S2. The reason was that the InvisibleShield left a permanent imprint on the phone and was too tacky for his tastes. I don’t mind the tackiness, but what worries me is possible damage to the phone in either of an imprint form (as this reviewer said) or possible water damage (as the idea of using any type of liquid always scares me). Although I have had 4 phones done with an InvisibleShield screen protector, the water did not prove to be problematic.
However, this time, I am paying pretty much $600-700 upfront with my own money without warranty for this unlocked version. This has gotten me worried whether I should still purchase the InvisibleShield and let them professionally install it. You never know when water/liquid can damage electronics! Especially with a new product like this… :-(
Anyhow, for those who either ARE currently using the InvisibleShield with the S2 and/or have used it before, but changed to another screen protector, what are your thoughts? Should I use it? I was thinking to just purchase the FRONT screen protector (not full body nor sides), and then buy a case that would be compatible with this screen protector.
Or should I purchase another screen protector? The SGP Oleophobic is what the YouTube reviewer chose, and it seems SGP products are favored with this phone. I guess the advantage is I would not have to use water. Anyhow, what do you guys think?
I used an Invisible shield before, and I must say, the SGP Glas is better in my opinion. I dont like the feel of the invisible shield, it feels like paper to me :O

+1 for the SGP screen protectors.
Initially I purchased a Skinomi full body protection (similar to zagg) but ended up ripping it off due to my unsatisfactory installation and feel when using my phone.
I am currently using the SGP Ultra Optics and a case from PDair and I could not be happier.

Thanks for responding, guys.
Anyhow, in regards to all your recommendations for the screen protector OTHER than InvisibleShield, aka SGP ones....
I am always worried with wet/water-based screen protectors. I've had nothing but good experience with InvisibleShield before. But now I am just worried that water damage could be a risk/possibility when trying to install any screen protector.
Of course, if I were to install the InvisibleShield, I would not install it myself. I'd most likely pay $5 for one of Zagg guys to do it.
Still, the idea of damaging my newly, $650 phone with water doesn't seem too appealing to me. Do the SGP screen protectors also need water (are they wet/solution based)? If so, any issues? I'm slightly paranoid when it comes to water + electronics. The thought of water dripping into the speaker/camera/battery or any other small slots/holes tends to scare me.
Or any other issues with SGP? Can they be removed easily? Any issues with screwing up the phone? And so forth...
The SGP Screen protectors do not use any kind of liquid, they are DRY stick-ons like regular screen protectors, only better. SGP Glas is also a dry item and is going to be my next choice.
My friend actually water damaged his Sensation yesterday trying to apply an Invisible Shield.
In terms of removal, Just use a piece of scotch tape. This works for almost any dry screen protector. You just apply the tape to a corner, and pull up, it will nicely remove the protector without damaging it. This is a great way to remove dirt too.
Regular SGP screen protectors are about $14 for a 2-pack. That is way cheaper than Invisible Shield.
Using an Ultra Optics right now.
On ebay I saw a store selling an SGP NEO Hybrid case for $24 and it includes a 2 pack of SGP crystal screen protectors. Good deal.

That's my video.
I feel I should clarify something though. When I mentioned an 'imprint', I wasn't referring to anything the protector leaves behind on the phone, but an actual imprint on the protector itself from the packaging. If you look carefully (I know it's hard as the light changes) there is an outline of a shield on the screen.
The cardboard box Zagg provide the protectors in has a cut-out in the front. The protector is placed behind this cutout. During packaging/delivery a weight of somesort has been applied on the parcel and it has resulted in an imprint of this shield being formed on the protector.
Zagg told me to leave it a few days for it to disappear - but it didn't.
They sent me a replacement, but it was exactly the same. I didn't get as far as installing the second protector, but wrote the whole Zagg IS off (imprint, orange peel, tacky feel) and got the SGP Oleophobic.
I hope that clears a few things up.

Screen Protector Discussion Thread

Hi everyone. I searched the forums for screen protectors, and what I found was a whole lot of threads on various screen protectors out there, but nothing centralizing these discussions. So I thought I'd create this thread.
1. What type of screen protector do you use?
2. How has it held up?
3. Have you gone without a screen protector?
4. If so, do you have any scratches?
5. What's the most you have paid for one?
6. What's the cheapest you have paid for one?
7. Any Rants? Any Raves?
8. Any you would recommend?
9. Any you would want to try?
10. Any tips to putting certain ones on?
Let's help each other out by sharing our knowledge on screen protectors for the HTC One.

Zagg HTC One High Def Screen Protector - Amazon
I think Zagg makes the best screen protectors, I have used them on both the HTC Droid Incredible and the HTC One. The Zagg screen protectors are not the cheapest option for screen protectors especially if you go for the ultra clear model but I think the cost is worth it, especially since zagg offers warranty replacements, you only pay for shipping. With the warranty replacements, registering your product on the Zagg website is quick and easy, there are no serial numbers you need to have or anything, you only need to tell them what device you got it for and which model screen protector you got.
Another benefit of the zagg shields is the lifetime of the screen protector, in my experience the screen protectors lasted almost 2 years for my Droid Incredible before I replaced it, the screen protector started to come off around the edges of my phone. While the screen protectors do age, I would much prefer the aged screen protector opposed to any damage to my screen. In my entire life of my Droid Incredible, bought in April 2010 and still used as an e-reader by my girlfriend today, there is not one scratch on the screen thanks to the Zagg shield.
While I have not personally tried the Verizon 3 pack of screen protectors, I have had friends use them and they were disappointed with the quality of them, the biggest issue was having the screen protector stay on.
Zagg screen protectors have done such a great job in my opinion I have not wanted or even thought of trying another brand.
As for tips to putting the Zagg brand on, make sure you wash your hands before you do anything, clean the screen so their is no oil, fingerprints, dust or anything else on the phone, make sure the spray gets on both the screen protector and the screen but do not soak either, just enough spray to cover the phone and protector. I found it best when applying the screen protector to start at the top of the screen in one of the corners and work your way to the opposite top corner then work your way down, make sure to use the applying tool they put in the packaging, be sure to use a good amount of force when use the tool but be careful not to apply too much pressure and crack the screen.
If you do not want to try putting the screen protector on yourself, you can go to the Cell Phone employees at Best Buy and have them put the screen protector on. You do not need to purchase the protector from Best Buy, but they charge you a fee to do it. The major benefit of this is that if they screw up and ruin your protector they will replace it.
I tried the Verizon 3-pack when initially purchasing the one. While they are decent, I knew I wanted something a little more rugged.
I did some research and ended up settling on the Mime USA Feather lite tempered glass screen protector. It's super thin and flexes nicely when unboxed, so it's highly unlikely to actually shatter like other tempered glass protectors. It's extremely scratch resistent. I tested car keys, nails, and knives on the screen protector after applying it to the phone and absolutely no marks showed up. It fits perfectly to the parameters of the screen and is hardly noticable after application. I would highly recommend this product. I ordered it from the Mime USA website for about $28, they even threw in a code for free shipping!

I usually don't use screen protectors and whenever I put on a case, I take it off an hour later. I've had the phone for like 9 months now and the screen is fine. There are tiny little scratches but you can't notice them unless you try really hard to, they don't affect the clarity of the screen in any way. I just don't like using screen protectors because they attract finger prints and smudges so easily even when I try a more expensinve screen protector. Honestly the screen will be fine for a long time. Yes there will be extremely tiny scratches but you won't care because they're almost non-existant. But one thing to keep in mind though, is that sand is crazy harsh on the screens, so I'm extra careful when I go to the beach with my phone. That's when I suggest putting on a case and a screen protector. Because even if a tiny bit of sand getes in your pocket, it might cause a little damage. Right now my phone is brand new since I got it replaced because of a camera issue, and I just can't get myself to stick with putting on a case or screen protector, I had a screen protector on it but I took it off 2 weeks later because I miss the naked screen.

Reviews go with what you said. I think when I buy my next screen protector when my zagg wears down, I'm going to try one of these.
i'm using an invisible shield screen protector. Went on pretty easy, there were no bubbles, and it's pretty thick. I've only had it on for a week, so I can't say much about durability, but it's pretty good as far as a screen protector goes. I'm still very partial to those matte finish screen protectors, so i'll probably be picking up one of those in the future.

Got a MIME Feather myself about a month ago or so now, and I must say that it's the best choice I've ever made as far as screen protection. I'd had a Spigen and some other tempered glass brand, but they were both just too thick and noticeable on the screen. The Feather is perfect because it's hard to even tell it's on there, plus it has the Oleophobic coating to prevent smudges and fingerprints. Seriously, don't even waste your money on another screen protector. You can't beat the MIME Feather.

+1 what he said, minus the experience with Spigen. The MIME Feather is the first glass screen protector I've tried, and I don't think I'll ever use anything else. It's superb and well worth the premium price. With that on the screen and a Ballistic Shell Gel case on the rest of the phone, I don't worry about it too much.
I got a EBay $6.99, Chinese made, 0.4mm thick tempered glass screen protector a few weeks ago.
Went on really well, no bubbles and sticking down along all edges and corners. Has the beveled edges on the glass so no sharp edges.
Far better than ANY plastic one i have used on any phone. Touchscreen works well with it on.
Actually hard to notice now its on unless you run your finger from the speaker onto the screen , so the REALLY thin ones must be pretty close to invisible.
I polish up the screen every 2-3 days. Does get prints on it, so maybe the expensive ones have a better oleophobic coating??
For the price, most excellent.

so it's basically putting another layer of glass on top of your screen? Like putting a slide cover on a microscope slide? I wonder if that'll make screen touching a little imprecise (or any more than having a screen protector.

Its definitely putting another layer of glass on the screen. You have to be careful and get it in the right position 1st time as they dont move around once stuck down. Removing them without breaking is, i suspect, very difficult. The "tape hinge" method of application works pretty well.
I have found the touch sensitivity on mine to be great. Certainly there is no difference to the "usability" of the phone, and the smoothness an feel is as good as the original screen.
I did read one review where the buttons on screen wouldn't work with a glass screen protector, but that has certainly NOT been my experience. From what i have read the thickness of these has come down from around 0.6mm in early incarnations to something like 0.15mm and being flexible in some brands.
I got a 0.4mm one. No scratches as yet. Its supposed to be very hard (9H??). I had no issues with fitting my case on after installing the screen protector.. Its a cheap silicone and hardback model that provides good corner protection. Hopefully the screen protector will help if it falls on its face sometime.
What about Just Like Glass?
Has anyone tried it?
Didnt know protectors like the Mime feather existed. Will have to try it out.

Just bought my first one a month ago (MIME Ghost), best screen protector I have ever used. It's definitely scratch resistant and feels like the original screen. Not sure how it will hold up to drops, but that's not something I am willing to test.
Had a friend buy some Write Guard screen protectors for his HTC One. I installed one on his HTC One. Screen protector was all ready getting all kinds of scratches in it. No Bueno.
I used the XtremeGuard screen protector for a very long time on my HTC One, but recently I decided I wanted a matte finish screen protector, so I switched to Tech Armor Anti-Glare. Feels much nicer to me and gets a lot less fingerprints and smudges.
I was using the protector that came with the UG case. After reading this thread, I picked up a MIME. Very impressed. It goes on dry, was easy to remove and reposition and left absolutly no bubles (these drive me CRAZY). It has somewhat finger print resistant and I did not heave to deal with wetting the protector, then waiting 24 hours to see if all the bubles went away. Best screen protector I have purchased and believe me, I have tried at least 20 different types over the years.
I have had no issues with the touch sensitivity. You can't even notice it's on unless you look really closely at the top edge.
Using the screen protector that came with my otterbox comuter and it is quite terrible.
The screen protector has been on since April and it is already deteriorating. The spots where I'd swype, type show heavy signs of use. With a faint finger swipe over the screen you can actually feel the difference.
Other than that, the actual performance isn't the worst. Glare and all in the sun is bad, indoors though I don't have any issues.
Will look into MIME.
Cheers,

Galaxy S21 Screen Protectors Megathread

Hi everyone. I've heard that the Sonic Sensor Gen 2 might affect screen protectors, and wanted to know if there were any companies that people trust for screen protectors? Amazon's products for the past few generations of galaxy screen protectors have been garbage inflated with fake reviews.... bait & switch stuff. Obviously the phones aren't out yet, but wanted to see if anyone knows a company that will make something that's not instant garbage material?
Cheers,
Simon
Yep,
I 'll be watching this thread, ordered the Ultra 21 yesterday. First question I'll ask is will the glass protectors work with the fingerprint sensors, or should we use the film type to make sure??
I also read somewhere that these new phones don't come with a protector installed, yes or no??
Ken
My screen on my Oneplus 6 stil looks just about perfect after 2.5 years. I ripped off the factory screen protector shortly after I bought it.
So... I won't bother with one for my S21 either. This new generation Gorilla glass is supposed to be even more durable.
Unless you have like diamond ear rings or something that it might rub up against when you make calls, then you might need something.
I could not sleep without protection (of my phone)
I think i will pre-order one of the around 20 display protections avaliable form amazon (germany)
With in-display fingerprint sensor, I've never been able to get a screen protector that worked. Hopefully this new gorilla glass will be enough

Did you pre order it yet? i can't find a promotion code like US one in EU. i just found a student discount which is nice but want something more to get it slightly cheaper!! dm me if you found a promotion code in EU
@karandevilocs
I did not order with discount, i am not a student.
Ah, lets see if fingerprint works with protector, but on my wife´s phone (p30 lite) its working with a cheap screen protector, so i think it will do it too on the s21u
I pre-ordered the S21+ and for me this is the only screen worth having:

www.whitestonedome.com
and for the camera: https://www.whitestonedome.com/coll...camera-screen-tempered-glass-protector-2-pack
Yes I know they are expensive.
On my S9+ their screen protected my phone. The protective screen shattered but the phone was perfect. The company also send me a replacement glass for free at that time. If I spend $1,000 on a phone I want to be able to sleep so I'll spend the money on something I can trust.
I am a fan of the Ringke Dual easy Wing. Although like most screen protectors that use a similar installation method I often get the line across the middle of the screen.
Anyone ever use the EGV brand? Looks to be the same process as WhiteStone Dome but at 1/2 the cost
Thanks
Note20U owner here. I've tried out many protectors. The cured tempered glass protectors are the best protection but gave me slower fingerprint unlocks and/or more errors. The first whitestone protectors had issues with the fingerprint sensor and they made a v2 which was better. The TPU protectors ended up being the best compromise for scuff protection and good fingerprint sensor response. I'm hoping QC's updated sensor might make tempered glass viable for me again. Btw, the Note20U had GG Victus and while it's very strong and durable, the screen is surprisingly easy to microscuff even when slid into pockets . It's a shame. I would use TPU at the least. Very few drawbacks IMO.
I used the Spigen Neoflex on the S20 Ultra with no impact on the performance of the fingerprint sensor so I intend to use the same again on the s21 https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08PCJYS6Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Looks pretty appealing, I’ll have to find a Zagg store and have them install it. Hoping the fingerprint scanner works the same afterwards

I ordered one of these for the S21, and I'm not thrilled. I haven't applied it yet since the phone is coming today, but this is FAR from glass. It's thin, flexible, obviously plastic, but not floppy like TPU. Considering they advertise it as glass, I'm not amused. Glad I paid nowhere near MSRP for it.
Avoid UniqueMe screen protectors, I just bought them because I needed something to protect the front. Very easy to install and lays flat, but the fingerprint sensor is busted:

I know there's already comments regarding the ZAGG D3O Hybrid Glass, but wanted to give my thoughts since I purchased and installed it: Best Buy Link
It's Not Glass
I too was expecting a glass protector even though they called it a "Glass Hybrid". It is definitely NOT glass, so do not expect that. That being said, it does feel pretty good under the fingers. Not quite as flawless as real glass, but I'd say it's better than the preinstalled one that came on the S20 and previous devices (also, the new S21 I received did come with a preinstalled protector, but it also had a large tab off the corner indicating intent for it to be removed before use). Also, use it for a few minutes after cleaning and it gets smoother. I'm not talking about getting it all greased up, but just using it for a few minutes makes it feel more like genuine glass.
Installation
Installation was horrible for me, but I think I got a defective one. There's a tab that indicates which side of the protector you pull off first, and despite my best efforts, the other layer kept separating, and it was nearly impossible to get the correct layer of backing off of it. That led to it popping off, and me needing to re-adhere it. This resulted in it not being quite perfect, and there being TONS of bubbles under the protector.
Luckily, I bought it at Best Buy and they hooked me up. I brought it in, explained the issue with the backing, and they replaced it free of charge. I just decided to pay 8$ there to have the guy install it for me, and he did it in about a minute flawlessly (seriously). I would definitely recommend buying and installing with Best Buy if you're even remotely nervous about it, as it wasn't as simple as a typical hard, real glass protector (because it's not one). Additionally, that 8$ gets you a free replacement/reinstall through Best Buy as needed.
Fingerprint Sensor
My fingerprint sensor works just fine with this protector. I had no issues even with the first one I installed that had bubbles everywhere. It's certainly more performant than my S20's sensor with the stock Samsung screen protector installed. I use the trick to register both thumbs under the same imprint, and then I do that twice. It's likely not as secure, but it certainly makes it easier to unlock my phone.
Look & Clarity
Look and clarity is excellent. There's no weird visual effects or noticeable modifications to screen colors or clarity. It's also extremely hard to tell it's on my phone. There's enough of a gap on the edge for a case, but I see no gap between my case and the screen protector. It also sheds fingerprints pretty well, so I'm happy with it there.
Overall
I'd give it an 8/10. It's a reliable option with great support and peace of mind through Best Buy, and it's certainly better than the stock protectors that used to come on phones like the S20 through Samsung. You also get a protector that seems to work really well with the fingerprint reader. The Dome glass may be a better option, but I did get this one for about half the price of a Whitestone with a Honey coupon at Best Buy (10$ off, equating to $31 total). I may try a true tempered glass at some point down the line if this one gets damaged, but I'm in no rush to do so.
Just did a review on Reddit from the 3 brands I tried. I'll copy and paste here:
OK, so there's a lot of misinformation going around on here, so I'm going to try to clear the air and give my experience of what works and what doesn't on the S21 (FLAT) screen, and we can assume the same thing for the S21+. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE ULTRA, which still needs the LOCA/UV protectors due to the curved screen.
First things first, how I add my fingerprints: I follow the method everyone recommends, which is using the lightest pressure possible to register your prints, so you can ideally tap the display to unlock your phone. I do NOT press as hard as I can, because, honestly, who wants to do that every time they unlock their device?
I register my right thumb 3x and my left thumb once, getting all areas of my right thumb scanned (tip, sides, towrds the tip, towards the knuckle, etc)
OK, so what I've tested so far:
Ouba tempered protectors: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08RDR1394/
These work. Not especially well, but they work. You have to jam your thumb down ONCE when registering your prints, then light taps work after that. This constantly gives the "cover the entire sensor area" when registering, and when you unlock, your thumb has to be in a pretty precise spot. If you were DEAD SET on tempered, I'd get this, but I still wasn't thrilled.
UniqueMe Protectors - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08R8ZPC34/
Worked about as well as the Ouba, maybe a little worse. I wasn't happy with these at all. Tore it right off.
AmFilm "Hybrid" glass, designed to work with fingerprints - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08RYV6PD5/
First things first - These are NOT glass. They feel like glass on the phone, which is the most important thing, but they're not glass. Anyone who says screen protectors protect your screen from breaking are full of ****. They protect your screen from SCRATCHING, and tempered protectors do the best job of that. I don't know how well these will resist being scratched themselves, but they feel great. It does NOT feel like plastic.
Now, as for how well they work? Perfectly. Like there was nothing on your screen in the first place. Fingerprints were registered quickly, easily, and the slightest tap unlocks the phone. This is where it's at. The protector is also super thin compared to the others, and really feels like a bare phone. If you use a case, you won't even notice it's there.
Edit: Man, this thing collects fingerprints like it was its job. Do NOT expect any sort of oleophobic coating. Still works great, but it gets smudged quickly.
Now, because these are clearly NOT glass, I can't say how durable they will be and how long they'll last, but recently they were on sale for $4.50 for a 2 pack. Well worth the money.

In regards to @zachman1750 and his review of the Zagg D3O protector: I have the same protector, and it's a LOT like the Amfilm one. Same installation method, same feel, I'm willing to bet it's the same thing made in the same factory. The difference is $50 for the Zagg with $5 lifetime replacements (I paid $35 for mine), while the Amfilm was purchased for $4.50 for a 2 pack on Amazon, and even off sale, they're $9 for 2. I'd save your money and go for the Amfilm.

I checked for that in Amazon, that was my favorite for the S20 series... Could not find it. I'll check again I guess. Where did you get it?
I got the ESR "liquid skin full coverage" screen protector for my S21. Not sure why they call it that. Dry application, goes on like the Ringke Dual Easy series (has a lower film that grabs dust and then is pushed off in two stages with the squeegee as the final later is pressed into place). Feels pretty good, a few very small bubbles, has not peeled up on the edges so far (tested with Spigen Thin Fit and the Cyril Color Brick).
I would prefer the Ringke Dual Easy Wing, or something that wraps around to the back, so that cases can't push up the edges. Looking for that still.
