I got the Zaggs I ordered for half price on black friday today...
Very disappointed with the E4GT full-body shield. The back cover's texture prevents a good seal, so it looks shrink-wrapped. The side panels are not cut accurately enough, so there are gaps and overlaps.
Overall, not good.
My wife's Nexus S full-body shield was perfect, however.
Never been a big fan of soft film type protectors.
I like the ones that are hard and go on dry but these type do get scratched and I count on having to replace them once or twice a year. I had a Steinheil protector for my Incredible that was cut absolutely prefect, never had a protector fit so good. I was so impressed with it, I bought one for the EVO 4G and the cut was not that good. I think it's hit or miss for lots companies.
I used invisishield for 3 years on the iphone until I realized that the screen is more scratch and smudge resistant than any of these shields are. And naked glass just feels way better to the touch too. Forget screens, save your money.

I used clear armor for the iphone 3G and loved it, but that phone didn't have a back. I am currently using a TPU case and their updated screen protector and am happy with it, all for about $15
I'm using the screen shield, which is pretty good/pretty standard for Zagg. I can't vouch for the body protector though.
I usually prefer the Bodyguardz to the Zagg, but it was available in the store so I went with the Invisible Shield. The Bodyguardz always seem to have a little more firm and smooth surface.
OP did you get the wet or the dry one?

The back cover texture of the ET4G isn't Zagg's fault. Maybe you just got a crappy install. I have one and other than the back cover (which really doesn't need to be wrapped anyways) it looks great. I have it in a CaseMate Pop case too and it seems practically indestructible.
No, I had the wet one, by the way. I installed myself and the back cover eventually got better over the texture, but the overall fit was 2mm short in width. I found the camera opening to be much too large also. Just a bad fit. The screen protector was the best part of it, but I still didn't like it - not perfectly transparent and had an iridescence to it that hurt visibility.
I am currently using a Steinheil protector on my touch with a matte black tpu case and love the original look of the glass and slim profile of the case. My sister had invisishield on hers and it made the screen looks funky (the one where you spray there little solution to put on). The steinheil protector fits better than the invisishield and feels better too. if you use an exacto knife and cut the area that covers the volume button then it makes the button 10x easier to press(but hard to accidentally press it). I recommend you give ste steinheil a try. No, I don't work for them haha.

idk about u but mine fits perfectly and it looks quite nice. i think its just the matter of how u put it on. i spent like 15-30 mins on mine. but it was worth the time
I thought the epic touch used gorilla glass? does it even need a screenie?
I dont like my zaggs either, but it was available so i figured id try.
phantom skinz ftw! Same as invisishield but without the orange peel effect, it smooth..

It does come with 16, just 1-2gbs are used by the system. The OS has to live somewhere on the device.
And you don't really NEED a screen protector on this with the Gorilla glass. I've done tests of this stuff and its pretty strong, you screenie is far less scratch resident, and I personally like the feel and look of the bare glass, but you will always be better off with one. Just in case.
IMO the supper expensive ones are worth it when the screen is as good as it is now, a cheeper one is fine.
EDIT: Just the other day I dropped my epic face down, no protector, and it slid about 2 feet across asfault. I picked it up, brushed it off, and went on my way. No damage

More than just one of myCIS teachers have said the same thing in their lectures, it all about advertising. Then tell me why when I format my 8GB mini sd card it says the total space is only 7.41? There is nothing on there.
this is a bit of an ego fight between software guys and hardware guys.
Hardware guys see a megabyte as 1000 kb and a Gigabyte as 1000 mb
so 8gb is 8000mb and they really are about this big.
but SOFTWARE guys see a megabyte as 1024kb and a gigabyte as 1024mb
do the math. 8000 divided by 1024 is what?
7.8125 now add in the space "formatting" always consumes and you get your 7.4gb
this is why 16gb is 15.625gb in 1024 language and then add in overhead and your at what? 14.61gb or something like that?
Costs way too much for a screen protector.

I just put the wet zagg on my ET4G and noticed that it's not perfectly matched to the phone also. The statement about it being 2mm too narrow is pretty accurate. I ended up lining it up with the right edge of the screen so that i have a full 2mm gap at the left side. I usually hold my phone with cap. buttons on the right when I'm in landscape, so this way my finger doesn't catch a lip of the protector when i'm swiping the notification bar down.
As for the discussion about whether Gorilla Glass needs a protector, I have to say for the most part I agree, it doesn't. However, my OG epic did end up with a few scratches that were very light and not visible with the screen on. Given a perfect install, however, I am always happier with the ZAGG shields because of the 'orange peel' look being better for glare and fingerprints. If it isn't perfect, it always bothers me.
Can't speak for the back cover but I didn't really want one anyway. Also, FYI, radio shack has the invisibleshields on sale for 14.99 in store right now. A little more expensive than online but they will install it for you for free if you wait around, or exchange it if you screw up (according to the manager I talked to yesterday).
I would recommend the steinheil ultra crystal screen protector if you want to use one. I have tried five or six different ones, this one is nice and clear seems like othingi s on there.
It DOES wear over time, I got about 50 days of HARD use out of one before the scratches got too bad to bear, some big ones too.
Glass underneath, good as new. I am afraid of scratching the glass to be honest, so I will be lighter and try and get more life per cover. I would like 3 or four months at $7.50 each so...

I had Zagg for the past 3-4 years and I loved it until I upgraded to this phone --- then headed to the local mall and at one of those little kiosks the guy was doing the whole phone in a 3M Alternative for $20 bucks. I'll never go back to Zagg. You can barely feel anything on it, plus the thing I hated most about Zagg is that sticky feeling --- not even close to the 3M. Definitely would recommend stopping by and finding the 3M kiosk. Wayyyy better IMO

I ordered those from eBay for around $15, they just arrived today. Tried to apply body protector first. Body protector is made out of 5 pieces and no matter how hard you would try to fit them, it's impossible to get them to stick nicely and not move. Started with the battery cover piece that's the largest and easiest to apply, it turned out to be just a little too big and when I put battery cover back on the of the phone, sides of the protector unglued and let the air under them which created bubbles. Tried side protector next, but that thing is impossible to fit. Gave up on the whole body protector and though to just apply screen protector and keep my gel case for now.
Screen protector is of the most horrible quality I've ever seen in my life! It's so grainy, it looks like my screen has a resolution of about 100x40 after application. More than that I'm not sure if it's because I used soaped water (as per instructions) or for some other reason, but parts of the screen-protector actually turned grey (against black background), some other parts are a bit clearer, but still, grain kills the whole thing. Ripped it off and will be waiting for some better screen-protectors to show up on the market.
Don't waist your money on those.
Great I just ordered one a few days ago.

My Zagg should be here tomorrow
I ordered a similar protector from clearfreak (they were the only ones selling a protector for the captivate when I ordered about 10 days ago), and it came in the other day. While the material itself seemed about on par with the zagg protectors (I've used Zagg before), the screen protector was a bit too big, so theres a bubble going across the top where the protector wraps around the top of the phone.
I see that zagg has protectors now, so I guess I'll get one of those. They seem to have changed up their offerings a bit, they offer full body "maximum coverage" and "easy install"; can anyone tell me how difficult the maximum coverage protector is to apply? I've done a zagg full body install on my zune hd, so I understand that these things are a bit tricky to get on just right, but I want to know if the full body is significantly harder than the easy install one with a bit less coverage.
How is the touch screen after you put on the screen protector? I have had a few that really seemed to mess with the touch screen. It seemed like it took twice as much pressure for it to react.
Is that the case with the captivate as well?

Capacitive touchscreens aren't pressure sensitive, so protector or not, how hard you press shouldn't make a difference. That being said, I have a Zagg invisibleshield on my zune hd, and it hasn't affected the touch sensitivity at all.
I've used BodyGuardz and Zagg before. The one piece of advice I have is, instead of using the soaped water they give you, use isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. It lets you slide the cover to the correct position very easily and will just evaporate out from under the cover, leaving no bubbles. I had a super clean install on my HTC Pure that way. To be safe I'd also remove the battery and make sure the phone has plenty of time to dry before you turn it on again. Also, if you enter ZAGG's weekly iPad giveaway thingy they have been giving out 40 and 50% off coupon codes.
I just got the AT&T screen protectors (pack of 3 for $10). I actiually got it for 5 (50% off through FAN account) and they are of good quality, clear and fit perfectly. There's even a cutout for the earpiece speaker and light and proximity sensors.
The two AT&T stores I went to did not have them but the AT&T smaller stores in the malls did.
I got the full body Invisible Gadget Guard, and mine looks fine. I didn't use soapy water, just plain old water, and everything fits perfectly, except for when I was dipping it in the bowl of water it snagged on the side of the bowl and when I made the mistake of trying to pull it off, it stretched, but I just cut it to fit and it's hardly noticeable.
Although, I won't lie. I did order the Zagg front screen protector for the fact that I know it works. I did the infamous "key test" on this cheap one, and it performed surprisingly well..
But it's not completely a rip-off if done right, especially for the $5 I paid.

you paid 5 bucks?
Let us know when you all get your Zagg Invisible Shield protectors in. I am trying to decide between Zagg and BodyGuardz. I haven't used either but I love the device entire too much to cover with a case.
With a 45 day money back guarantee, surely it cannot be that bad for the $24.
I bought the Invisible Gadget Guard off Ebay as well for $13.97 with a free car charger. I used just water to get it on. At first, it felt and looked awful but given 2 days, everything smoothed out and I was able to get all bubbles off. It's actually pretty nice now. I had to snip a little of the sides because I stretched it a little too long, but that's not a big deal.
I have a Zagg on my Zune HD, and initially I felt like it was a bit rubbery, but I left it on to see what happened, and after a week or so, it didn't feel rubbery anymore to me. You have to be really careful with the installation, make sure you dont get any dust/debris under the protector, but after that you can throw it in your pocket without any worries.
I got a phantomskinz for my captivate, since it ended up being similar in price to the Zagg but comes with 2 instead of one, and I'll post back here with impressions once it comes in.

I bought it and it was total crap. Waste of money!
Well I just finished installing this, and TBH it wasn't that bad... I've done many type of film installations on cars and stuff and it was very similar to doing it on the phone. I took my time with it and I am actually very satisfied with the result. It gives the phone a very needed grippy feel. Some pieces weren't the most perfect size to fit but it covered most of the area pretty well. I will got some pictures up later tonight. You really have to take your time with this installation or get a professional to do it, other wise you will end up like some people on here not very satisfied at all.

You don't NEED a screen protector.
The Samsung Galaxy S has Gorilla Glass from Corning.
Check a torture test here (on a Dell Streak, which I also have - but it has the same glass) and tell me if you really need a lousy plastic sheet on your beautiful screen.
Check out the gorilla glass website. The got a pictireo of a gorilla with its arse up in the air kissing a pane of glass LOLS

Steinheil protectors are fantastic -- only ones I've found that don't leave smudges and fingerprints all over. (They do dull the screen a bit, but since the amoled screen is too bright to begin with, that's not a problem IMO.)

Look at it in the sun at an angle so it reflects the sun off the screen, you will see lots of micro scratches. This is on both our captivates. Sure, they're not "SCRATCHES" like the usually unsightly ones, they are just micro, or super thin.
Just because it can handle an impact doesn't mean it's scratch resistant. Personally have used the Phantom Skinz protector in the past and am currently using the Realook protector now. If you like the slight rubbery feel of the "skinz" type of protector you have plenty of options. I used the Phantom Skinz because it seemed to have the least orange peel look. After exchanging my captivate for another one (I had the random shut down issue) I used the Realooks static style screen protector. I prefer this one since it's almost nake glass feeling and I can totally say it can take a decent scratch. I got a nice dent from a fall off my desk onto a barbell that dented my chasis and also nicked the screen protector but no scratches. Best thing is you get 2 so if one gets farked you still have a spare. Best screen protector is one you will use and be happy with.
It still scratches even with the Gorilla Glass. Not big scratches, but they are visible at certain angles - it may or may not bother you.
I've used two types, SGP and Realook. Both are highly regarded, and from my experience SGP doesn't have any rainbow effect like Realook, but Realook has a much more natural feel. Both are excellent.
i took off my screen protector a couple months ago and i sometimes regret it. theres a few scratches on the screen but you cant really see them unless you hold the phone at a specific angle in the light. it doesnt really bother me that much. it is kind of annoying having to clean the fingerprints though.
I have invisishield its great only paid twenty for it with a lifetime warranty you I've had mine for about 4 months and it has yet to get a scratch and I even took a knife and scraped it across the screen surely no scratches but in the end I guess it is all up preference

Invisishield
I've had the Invisishield on my phone since late August. I just recently had to exchange that under warranty and the Invisishield removed easily and installed easily on the new phone, no air pockets at all. Still looks like the day I bought it.

possible one of the WORST things to put on a phone's screen. Especially a touch screen phone with one of the best glass and screens.
The invisishield and all others LIKE IT offer nothing but horrible viewing and use. The cover often resists your fingers movements, your fingers often drag on it and the smoothness of glass is all gone and replaced by a crappy rubbery and not to mention GRAINY protector.
Surprisingly, the only thing close to being clear, and smooth is the cheap stuff on ebay. I've used them and they offer great protection and are cheap enough to change out every month. I no longer use one.
for what its worth I got the BodyGuardz protectors when they were on thanks giving sale.
It does not feel like the glass, given, but i almost feel like i like that it gives just a little resistance to my touch. it does have the slightest orange peel effect but you can only see it if its off and at an angle.
Its not perfect, but I like it especially since I have a bit of OCD and it would drive me crazy if i got the smallest scratch on the screen. This gives me piece of mind.

you're better of with these. They're clear and dont have the resistance you feel with other rubbery protectors. I'd use the ebays ones before anything else, especially if you are OCD.
At $1.57 for 3, you can change it every month if you want, but I've had good luck with them in the past.
I got gadgetshieldz they cost around $6 for full body protection. Worked for me, they are quite nice easy to install and quite good in performance. A word of caution though the it took 20 days for it to get to me in Canada.

Normally one of the first screen protectors on ebay after a phones release. Im not of fan of wet installation screen protectors. You get what you pay for. Mines barely lasted a week.
I've used those Invisible Shields for a LONG time. I'm a big fan, but not for touch screen devices. They're good for the sides and the back and such, but I don't care for them for the feeling they have when you try to slide your finger over the "glass." Strange. Regardless, if you DO like them, I'd highly recommend Zagg Invisible Shield. They're over priced but they've never let me down yet.
i don't get it guys? how is that the screen protectors fall off your phone? if you install it properly without any bubbles last even 1 year.unless gets too many scratch on it and i wanna put on a new one.never happend to me.and i always buy cheap ones.like 10 pieces for 3 pounds!
cheers!
Bad. Real bad stuff. They are kinda stuffy. Soft. More like thin layer of rubber. Can barely be used for touch screen, without having touchy fingers.
I bought them for my Samsung Focus and they aren't really good for the screen. For the sides and back, this case might be ordered.

They have sold over 300 of them. I guess if they are as crappy as you say, I will say so in my feedback.
I bought one. Was actually just looking for a dry screen protector. Didn't realize it was similar to a zagg shield until I opened it up.
If you follow the directions it only takes a few minutes to apply.
I don't like the rubbery feel...but for 2 bucks it works. Just a side note...if you use the s pen you can see the markings on the screen protector. I'll be on the lookout for a cheap replacement because that is a little annoying.
^^^
Did I not tell ya That thing is good enough for everything but the screen.
I just got one partly due to prices, mainly per delivery time-fastest. I didn't know it was a wet installation and with the feedbacks i am apprehensive on using it. Any problems peeling it off the screen and did it leave unremovable streak marks for those that have used it?
No problems with the removal or leftout marks. At least give it a try.
There is no REAL issue with it, and if it's properly installed it will last a while. I don't use any additional cases and all the in-out action of my pocket usually takes off the screen protector, sides, or back within 2-3 weeks.
It has sold over 300 of them because they're so cheap. People will say "for two bucks, I'll give it a try" and even I was about to buy one until I realized that it's a zagg pretty much. Gimme a TPU / Hard shell case any day and those e-cell screen guards and I'm good.
any screen guard which dosent get scratched with s-pen?
Have one on my note, got ripped off cause I have bought it on the official website for five bucks. Personally, the rubber skin feels right, I have the same on all my other devices : touchpad, sgs 1, sgs 2, transformer, etc...
But with Note it is just impossible to make it last longer than a month with the s pen : I drew like 2 minutes and there already is several deep scratches in the rubber layer, very annoying and it messes the vision of the screen.
So for the note it's a no go imho, I'll invest in a dry protection I guess...

Just got mine today. They are thick and seem durable, but you simply cannot use the stylus on it effectively. That must be why they're $1.99
Yeah it is annoying the indentations caused by the stylus, but at least it is offering me protection while I wait for my long term solution to arrive by mail
I bought one of those $1.99 screen protectors for my note, had it on for 5 minutes then promptly ripped it off and threw it away. The S-pen leaves trails and I was hoping it would be clearer than the matte finish protector I received with the phone but it was just as fuzzy or rainbowish. Waiting on an Ultra Optic now and will accept it even if its not as clear as I want.
Ive had the invisible shield on my tablet for a month. I thought I would LOVE it, since I have it on my phone, but the texture, on a bigger screen really annoys me! I spent $30 including the installation, and Im tempted to get a cheap $1 protector cuz they dont have texture
Does anybody else have this problem?
I would rather have to get a new $1 screen protector every 2 months than always be annoyed by the invisible shield...
I personally have ghost armor on my tablet an love it (ghost armored all my mobile devices including my 2 playstation portables) an the feel ghost armor has to me is nice as long as nothing sticky touches the screen it remains nice an smooth as silk
I went with my gut feeling and bought a cheap screen protector and I enjoy the a100 even more cuz I can actually scroll or move apps around
i bought a set of 3 Fosmon protectors for about $8, they work good, i messed up 2 of them but the 3rd one went on good, actually i got the 2nd one on perfectly, then when i removed the top layer i accidentally pulled up the screen protector too.....i didnt even realize it for a couple of minutes, i sure was mad
(the font camera hole is in the right place but it doesnt have the little cut out for the home button like my first screen protector had, but it doesnt need it because works perfectly)

this is the first time ive heard of ghost armor .. when i get my tablet back im gonna ghost armor the **** outta it lol alsom my htc g2 is gna be gettin some ghost armor shortly as well i wanna go clear but do you think the white would look good ??
i just put the Skinomi Carbon Fibre skin on my A100. It's just automotive grade vinyl sticker, but it protects against scratches and keeps the tab slim enough to fit in my pockets. The vinyl is textured and not as "grippy" as the stock slick back is, so it slides around in my hand a bit more than without the skin on it. Overall though it looks way better than the blue wavy Acer back, imo.
It came with a screen protector but I haven't bothered to put it on yet. I like the feel of the Gorilla Glass too much.
took mine off. had a zagg. I'm just being careful with mine and so far the screen is just fine
I use XOskins on the two tablets and four phones we have at our house right now. They are a wet install and take about 48 hours to fully clear all the bubbles out, be careful with any wet install protector when putting a case on that it doesnt grab the edge. XOskins does make phone screen protectors full size and case cut which are trimmed 1/8" all around. For whatever reason both tablets were easier installs then the phones, meaning almost zero bubbles when first installed but they clear out anyway. Keep your fingers wet for best results.
Now as far as clarity goes these are crystal clear, extremely durable and also come with lifetime replacements. Google for a discount code, usually a 20-30% code to use.
I had a protector on that screen for nearly a year before i finally got tired of the texture. I removed it and have been using it with no protector and its smooth and feels just fine.
I really haven't had anything close to a scratch like I have with smartphones in the past, since it doesn't reside in my pocket constantly in motion, it just doesn't get the wear and tear. Even the shiny coating on the case is still stock-perfect and I haven't been babying it.
It doesn't seem to be as important to protect this tablets screen as it does with a more roughly-handled phone.
Anyone use this stuff?
I found it on Amazon for 18 Bucks. Which is less than half the price of the insanely priced ghost armor. Now they charge 40 Bucks at the mall to Ghost Armor your phone. That's just insane. . . . But, every phone I had until now has been ghost armored and held up pretty well.
I was wondering the same thing. They seem to have good reviews on the web so I ordered one for my Galaxy S3 last week. It should arrive this week so we'll see....
I dunno, either one of these or a nice Spigen case with a screen protector.
Had this and i took it off in less than a week. It gets dented up real fast and it has a sticky feeling to it. The so called "Life time warranty" makes you pay $5 shipping.
Figures, SGP case it is.
Just ordered one with a screen protector. Sure looks cool. . . . Best looking case I have seen so far.
My ArmorShield finally came in. Installation was about the same as other wet application protectors. The fit is very tight to the buttons/holes and the coverage is great. It looks great on the phone and feels less rubbery than my previous standard Zagg invisible shield. It does dent and scratch pretty easily though. For that reason, I have removed it and swapped it out with a Zagg Invisible Shield High Definition. The HD is much better and clearer with less orange peal effect and a smoother overall feel. But it is twice the price...
I have had one of these installed for almost two months and I am looking to buy remove it for a different brand. This screen protector dents easily and the dents do not go away. I can still see clearly through to the screen, but when I swipe my finger across it I can feel the dents. I have been using this with the incipio dual pro case and the bottom of the case pushed the screen protector up right below the button so that the protector doesn't stick anymore. I wouldn't buy one of these again.

How's the incipro dual pro case working out for you? Does it feel bulky or slippery?
Wanted to chime in and say I've had this installed for only a WEEK and am experiencing this issue. My screen looks and feels like a minefield. Waste of $8, going to see if Amazon will let me return.
EDIT: Does anyone have a rec. of an alternative? I actually like the rubbery feel that doesnt attract finger prints as easily, didnt mind the wet install either. Just need something more durable, thanks!
