Trouble with screen protector - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi Guys,
just got my GN yesterday and wanted to protect it right from the start. Putted on my screen protector (Vikuiti) and unfortunatelly it didn't fixed over all on the screen. On the top and bottom of the screen the protoctor seemes to detach. Is this for the cause of the curved display?
Anyone else has these troubles?

Which vikuiti protector did you buy? Im order and already receive Vikuiti ADQC27 but still waiting for phone

Had the same like you ordered.

that's because its a crappy made one.
you gotta stick with the high quality ones like SGP, martin field, realook etc....
i have a buddy in the industry and the "lifting" occurs because the machine used to cut the film is crap.
i wish powersupport made screen protectors for phones other than crapple products.
imo they are one of the best.
i'm probably going to pick up a realook or SGP oleophobic screen protector.
you get what you pay for.
all the cheap ones have nasty rainbow effect too..
my $0.02.

Check out the pics I took of the SGP Oleophobic screen protector. It's not a perfect fit for the display.

well i'll be damned. i'll eat my words. lol
x-nay on the SGP then.
i know for a fact though that realook does not do that.
i know the owner of that company and he and his partners are well aware of the problems these static cling screen protectors have.
that is my main gripe with non-water screen protectors. the damn edges don't stay down.

in that case.. any word on when we can expect a realook protector for the GN?
Also, I've never heard of these and couldn't find a site for them.. only ebay and Amazon?

let me ask and see.
yeah, they primarily use ebay and amazon to sell their products.
i believe they are working on a website as well.

Im use Vikuiti screen protectors few years. In last HTC Desire Im put dqc-160 on it when Im order it and Im use same protector until now(is still on it). If I remember right Im buy it in april 2010(First UK orders). I will see how fit ADQC27 on Nexus and if will not I will return it, because for 8GPB must perfectly fit...

I have one, it doesn't fit perfectly. It is too long for the screen. This is why it lifts at the edges. It is not a good screen protector. I had to cut mine down to get it to fit, and it stil doesn't fit properly.
I ordered an sgp oleophobic, by the looks of the pictures posted. Im not going to be pleased with that one either.

anyone knows something about mumbi screen protectors?
I ordered these today: http://www.amazon.de/mumbi-Displays...07X2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323025125&sr=8-1 (german)

I ordered a pack of 10 mega cheapo ones from amazon.
I actually though they fit the screen rather well (about 0.5mm on each edge left and right and about 1mm top and bottom)
No lifting, bubble or scratches, so happy so far..

Screen + Body Protector ?

I was trying to find screen protector for HTC aria and all i found is from ebay. Zagg invisible shield dont even have it yet
On the zagging you could order the hd mini and cut for the optical
being a user of zagg on previous phones i can't imagine it playing very nice with a touchscreen.
Screen + Protector?
Try Amazon.com the screen protector product is made by Amzer for the HTC Aria.
I am a new user so I can't post the link.
I just purchased the screen protector from AT&T and the edges on all 4 corners protrude ... when I put the back case back on it pushed each corner up.
Has anyone else had problems with the AT&T protectors?

Keep in mind that the Amzer protectors don't ship until 7/13 (according to their website).
Me? I'll probably go the HD Mini protector + hole punch DIY route that others are suggesting. Too many opportunities to scuff up my screen with kids in the house.

I have the same problem with the screen protectors I got when I bought my Aria. I will apply another one tomorrow and cut the edges before I apply.
Zagg are great for touch screen
I have been using Zagg's stuff on my old iPhone and my wife's iPhone and they worked great. I actually prefer the feel with the invisible shield applied. I am bummed that they don't have one that is designed for the Aria yet. Anyone actually tried the HD mini one with success?
I got the Amzer® Rubberized Black Snap On Crystal Hard Case for HTC Aria. It doesn't ship 'till 7/13, but that's only 2 weeks, so I can live with that. I got this case because it's like a soft/hard case, and I think that will work better than an all-hard or an all-soft case. Then I got a Gadget Guard screen protector. I was originally going to get an Amzer screen protector, but I read reviews saying Amzer's screen protectors are really bad. Hopefully, their cases will be okay. This is the only company so far I've seen that are making cases for HTC Aria. I didn't know what AT&T had because I bought mine at Best Buy. Btw, from Best Buy, you don't need to do the rebates, because they already include it in their price.
as for the screen protector i got a package of 4 universal screen protectors
from there I took a hole punch to make a whole for the optical button then applied the screen protector to the phone without the case and trimmed it with a razor blade.

Zagg has one up on their site now. Just ordered mine.
Figure it's time to star contributing /something/ here, instead of just lurking.
zagg is now selling screen protector, or full body protectors
Edit... aww eff someone beat me to it... same reasoning as well.... sigh... haha
Has anyone ever used the Phantom Skinz?
I briefly tried a Zagg Invisible Shield (invisible my ass) on my previous phone and it made the screen noticeably less clear and it was very hard to clean pocket lint off of it because it was so grippy.

I used to use them on all my blackberrys. You just dip them in water and apply it to your device. To me they all look the same, I would say that phantom is not as thick as zagg but performs just as well.
Does anyone have feedback on the zagg cover for the back of the aria? I am surprised that they even make it since its got a rubberized type coating. The screen protector is a must do, but the back I cant see for the aria.
Of course they come out with the specific cover days after I buy a different one and cut to fit. Dohhhhhhhhh!
Another thumbs up for Phantomskins. Easy ordering, fast shipping, easy installation.
For the first 24hrs or so, (Dry-ish california weather) the screen touch sensation is a bit grippy, but after a day or so it becomes slick again.
I ordered front only as I see no need to protect the back, and if there is a very nice case one day I will get that anyway. My immediate problem was protecting the glass front. So I ordered just the front skin, which covers the entire phone front as shown on the phantomskin website.
After drying, viewed at an angle the surface appears wavy but viewed straight on it is perfectly invisible. Skin fits aria perfectly.

I can't find an anti-glare screen protector

I'm getting the phone soon, and I want an anti-glare one. I looked on ebay and can't find any.
*edit* I realized I didn't even ask anything. Can anyone point me to a website where I can buy an anti-glare screen protector?
Boxwave, AT&T, and Skinomi all have anti-glare screen protectors. I'm sure there are more but those are the ones I know off the top of my head.
SGP's Steinheil Ultra Fine Film (available directly from the SGP Store site) is another option.

I HATE the anti-glare screen protector but it was the only thing available at the time. Instead, I purchase a regular one on eBay as well as the Incipio Feather case that comes with one. IF these those fix the feel/look, I'll just have to go naked (screen )

Gorilla glass..
I 'm waiting also my atrix..
and i ordered from ebay screen protectors..
they said its anti-glare, but i dont think so.. because its very cheap..
anw.. do we really need screen protector?
it makes less-sensitive the screen..
it hasnt got good antiglare action..
it may not be exactly at the size of the screen
the screen is gorilla glass.. it is necessary to have extra protection?
is gorilla glass really un-scratchable?
from keys the gorilla glass it doesnt make any scratches..
but with something stronger?
e.g phone falls..
if the screen brakes, the screen protector wont prevent it from breaking..
if anyone has atrix or any gorilla-glass phone without screen protector
and believes it's not necessary,
please just inform us!
Do not buy wrapsol screen protector. They are extremely hard to put on and it dims the screen quite bad. Its the one with anti fingerprints. Also, the installation is a pain. There is no room for error. Any dust or lint trapped between the glass and the protector can not be removed with tape. It will beforever there. Im just thinking of removing it since my protector has full of unremovable dirt..

I found it not too bad to apply. Make sure you're in a dust free environment (close the door in the bathroom and turn on the shower - hot - for a few minutes to steam things up).
I've messed up quite badly on an installation (got some lint stuck between the screen and protector) and was able to rectify the problem by washing the protector with soap and water and then reapplying it. Worked great!
there is what your looking for. these are the ones that have the Matte finish to them. i had these on my HD2 but now i bought the Invisible ones for my Atrix.

The best I've found is from www.nushield.com. I've used their screen products for years now on touch gps screens, Tilt2 and camera screens. Their DayVue film is great.

I bought the ones from att. I have had protectors on all my phones, out of necessity after scratching a new phone. I don't care for the att ones. They do ok for glare, but are horrible for the clarity of the screen. I am going to take it off. I went for about 2 weeks before I installed it. I really don't want to use one, but I live in Florida and the glass just reflects the sunlight soo well, which in turn really brings out the finger smudges. So I'll get another brand.

[Q] Which screen protector should I choose?

Hy guys, i'm going to buy a Galaxy Nexus and I wanna buy a screen protector before getting the phone.
I have a ZAGG one on my iPod Touch 4g, but I don't like it, so I decided to ask here.
I had the opportunity to try a Brando one on a friend's iPhone 4, and it's very nice, but I can't find a Galaxy Nexus' one... So which i should choose? I also can't understand yet differences between the one using wet application and the others...
PS: i already found some questions on various screen protectors, but didn't find a "which shouldi i choose" one in this section...
PPS: Sorry if i made some mistakes, my English is only a scholastic one...
Brando have screen protectors available for for the Galaxy Nexus (not sure if they do international shipping):

I've heard the SGP Flex screen protector is very good, I'll most likely be ordering one myself. (http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/...s-screen-protector-steinheil-flex-series.html)
i have the zagg. Its actually not as orange peely like the zagg on my old galaxy s. I wish power support made their screen protectors for something other than by apple because theirs are excellent.

Do you know if the Brando is a dry install? If so, it probably won't cover all of the screen like he Oleophobic from SGP. I just bought the Flex and it will be here Wednesday so I can let you know how that feel/orange peel is.
The Zagg on my iPod is crap looking at the Brando on my friend's iPhone. Yeah, it has less bubbles, but his doesn't make the user feel he is using a screen protector!
Not meant to hi-jack this thread but I came across this
http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/...-nexus-screen-protector-steinheil-series.html
The description says that the screen protector has an oleophobic coating. I was wondering if the film is clear or matte? I don't like matte screen protectors.
I'm interested in that screen protector too... I'm undecided between this one and the Brando's one

It's clear, but I feel like it causes a little bit more friction than the bare screen. As mentioned in another review on here, it's significantly smaller than the entire screen area to avoid peeling at the curved edges, so that may be something that affects your decision to purchase.
How is the fitting of the Brando screen protector? Can someone upload a picture of it on the Galaxy Nexus?
Thanks.
I never realized screen protectors were such a big deal. lol
The one I am using now is the Anti-Glare screen protector that I got from Verizon. It was a bundle with 3 protectors, a car charger, and clip holster.
Didn't realize everyone used one... My GNex stays naked!
Stay away from the ones Verizon sells. They aren't completely terrible, but those things smudge so badly. It's pretty annoying, but I can't complain because they are protecting the screen for the most part.

I've tried just about every screen protector out there and I have come to realize the VZW protectors are the best for me. Yes, they do show smudges a bit more, but they don't yellow, they don't require the wet application, they don't have a weird feeling to them, and they are the cheapest. Also, I had one on my Incredible for 6 months without a mark on it.
Just my opinion after trying tons of brands.
Ghost armor..Hands Down

@OP: So which Screen Protector did you end up with? Cany ou give us some feedback about it?
Verizon clear (not anti-glare) works great. No orange peel. there is a 1-2mm gap from the bezel but the sensor cutouts align perfectly
Currently using VZW clear + Incipio NGP.
I went with ghost armor, cost me $15 covers top to bottom and edge to edge. Rep installed it perfectly. No orange peel yet but I do expect some. The good news is that it comes with a life time warranty. If it does begin to show signs of orange peel, they will replace it for a $5 install fee.

+1 for Verizon clear screen protector.

Screen Protector Film Recommendations?

Hello,
Do you recommend Belkin Anti-Glare Screen protector for SGS2? (if you have used it) If not, which screen protector do you recommend? The most important thing for me: It nearly shouldn't have any affect on touch screen sensitivity.
Thanks.
You see im in the camp of whats the point of a screen protector, adding another layer to screen. I just use a cheap clam flip case to keep the screen safe. Only just had S2 but never had a screen protector on my sgs for over year and never got a mark on it

I'm using a basic silicon case. Flip cases are protecting well but having a flap hanging around while using the phone is a little bit annoying for me. I want to use it because, Gorilla Glass screen is just scratch resistant, not scratch-proof. There are many people reporting scratches after just daily use. Also Anti-Glare films making the screen easier to slide, especially in games like Fruit Ninja

OK, I will be glad if you let me know about it. It looks fine. But I couldn't find any local online shop selling Estoc protectors. So, i think I'm going to buy this one tomorrow:

I will write about it.
I have tried the SGP ultra oleophobic, and this worked well for 2 weeks, but after that it would start to attract oil, ... the opposite of what it was supposed to do, the plus side is that it doesn't have tint and the screen looks good. I am now going to try the Halo screen protector. Let us know how you screen protector turns out.
I really like the one that comes with the otterbox for the S2.
it's easy to put on and fits perfectly!
hope this helps
Definitely Zagg invisibleSHIELD.
I couldn't find them locally either. GMarket was the only place I could find them online, I split the cost of shipping with a few other people from XDA.

It also is much smoother, no orange peel & is not tacky unlike zagg products.
But zagg is still a very good product in my opinion.

zagg is a good brand/product ... but the invisible shield, like chrisjcks said, is not smooth which affect the touch response cause of that tacky feel of it
Received the 3M Estoc screen protector today. It's quite solid, and enables you to 'buff out' minor scratches & dings on the protector. This is due to a coating on the protector itself that obviously wears away over a period of time. It comes with a 49873 page encyclopedia with instructions on how to fit (due to having instructions in 192 different languages). The package contains the protector itself, a microfibre cleaning cloth, a cardboard thingy to smooth out the bubbles when you fit the protector and a few dust removal stickers.
Fitting was no more difficult or different to any other screen protector, just a case of making sure the screen is perfectly clean/free of dust, then slowly/carefully applying it to the screen & smoothing out the bubbles as you go.
This is a good protector if you're using a bumper case & don't have your screen covered, it will easily handle being in a pocket with other items & should protect the screen quite well. It will probably last at least a couple of months (maybe more, depending on how rough you are with your phone) if you use your phone like this. As I use a flip case, it will probably be good for much longer than this, as the face of the phone won't be exposed to the lining of pockets, keys, loose change, etc, etc.
Now to the question of value. Is it worth the ~$25 or so ? Compared to the $15 protector I had on my phone previously, and given I use a flip case which protects the screen anyways, probably not. I doubt I'll be spending another $25 on one of these when it comes time to get a new screen protector.
But if you're someone who uses bumper cases/etc & likes having a 'nudie' screen, I'd definitely recommend these. Obviously if you only order one from GMarket the shipping will make it a fairly expensive exercise, but you could always order more than one/some other stuff from that site, or find someone on XDA to go dutch on the postage who lives in your country like I did (thanks to Victaaaa for same )
The Zagg invisibleSHIELD is the best in my opinion, uses a fluid that facilitates the placement may be withdrawn and placed if things do not go well the first time, this has the orange peel effect but this in no way affects the image or touch . I used it in the first SGS for 1 year and now I'm using it in SGSll about 8 months.
i recommend sgp ultra crystal too...i am using for 5 months and i have no problem at all...fully satisfied.
Thanks for all recommendations. I couldn't have any time to buy one yet; but I hope I'm going to buy this weekend from a store near here. I'm going to buy Belkin, if I can't find it I will prefer SGP or Zagg.

I use SGP Ultra Crystal and so far so good.
Zagg is probably the worse of all of them because of its tacky-ness. Also its scratch healing properties wear off after a month or so. The best is the 3M Estoc+ followed by SGP or RG Japan.
sgp ultra, solid choice in my opinion.. can't go wrong
I recommend SGP ultra crystal film or 3M estoc

So I've been looking at the screen protector threads around here, and while people have been pointing out good deals, and bad ones, I've yet to see anyone really comment about the "Feel" of their screen protector.
Long story short: I HATE the Zagg I have on my Evo 3D. Playing Fruit Ninja and the likes on it is impossible unless I want to coat my screen in butter so it's more slick. A few rounds and I feel like I'm going to burn my fingertips off! Hate, hate, hate. That's all I feel for Zagg. Anyway, I'm planning on leaving the phone naked (No case) with just the screen protector on, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good screen protector that will fit the bill?
I had a Sprint branded screen protector for my original Evo 4G, and it was perfect! It was as smooth as the glass, fit well, and I could hardly see it unless I looked at an angle, so maybe they'll have one at my sprint store on release day. (Albeit at a 50000% markup. Ew...) But I'd rather not spend 40$ on a piece of plastic. Lol.
Anyone got any suggestions?

One is Flex and one is Ultra Crystal. Not sure of the difference between them, other than price.
Edit, good info on both of them in this thread. I think I might try the Flex.

Have had a Spigen on my iPhone 4 for over a year and it still feels great. Will be getting one for my S3 as well.
If like glass is what you want i'm thinking you're gonna have to go with a dry application protector
Thanks for the replies everyone. Gonna go with the Ultra Crystal, sounds like what I want. Reviews on the Flex make it sound like the Zagg, with the wet application and the loss of smoothness on the protector.
Now I'm going to have a pile of accessories to go with my phone that I don't even have yet.

Haha, join the club! I have 2 full body XtremeGuard protectors, 3 XtremeGuard screen protectors, a Fosmon TPU case, Otterbox Commuter case on order and a TriboScreen screen protector on order. Also have an EZOPower electroluminescent charger cord on order. About to order a car holder and a desk dock and I think I'll be good for a while

exactly i had abunch of skinomis during their .95 sale on hox and it was horrible. the flex is exactly the same (wet, flexible application. rainbow effects galore.)
Sgp flex hd is fantastic but....
I just ordered the sgp flex hd as a back up. I love spigen products. With that said, You can't get any closer to a "glass feel" then a tempered glass screen protector. I've only found one online and just ordered it. The link is....
well I can't post the link until I have 10 posts. Anyways it's called the spectre for android and you can find it through a site called xgearlive

I know this specific thread is for NOT using a case, but is that tempered glass protector thick enough to interfere with most cases?

Spigen has one for the iPhone. Hoping they release one for the S3 as well. Is that xgearlive a good company to deal with? Would these types of screen protectors work with the C-Pen?

Spigen/SGP said that they won't be making the Glas t glass screen protector for the galaxy s3 because of its curved screen. A shame, but understandable.
Makes me wonder how xgearlive are going to manufacture a glass screen protector with a decent fit.
It won't be able to go to the edge, not as it's curved.
hopefully xgearlive will offer a discount for s3 users, the gnexus has USD 5 off.
