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 live in Canada, so the AT&T one is not an option, I tried skinomi, but I didn't see an anti-glare one, can you link me to one directly?
I'll try boxwave now.

Holy ****, they do have it but it's $15 for only two of them.
I found these on Amazon, can anyone verify if they're any good:

I'll be going with the SGP, I used it on all 4 iPhone and 1 Motorola Droid. They are awesome screen protectors.
I'll probably purchase from their ebay store.

haha, it's ok, I live in Canada, the closest ATT to me is one in Seattle (if there is one there), and that's two hours away.
I'm not gonna get one from ATT. However, I need to know if those ones from Amazon I posted will do.

I didn't know they had one yet. Good deal, supposed to be the best.

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 )

Hi Ivan go to T-Mobile and buy the protector for Samsung vibrant and it fits very nice upside down plus its antiglare I have on my atrix

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.
splash Masque Screen Protector Film Matte Clear (Anti-Glare) for Motorola Atrix 4G (3-Pack)

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.

And with Atrix Screen you dont really need antiglare

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.

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.
amazon.com/gp/product/B0055851VA
Also want to say that their customer service is top notch. Love it.

Just got my Armor Suit and it is the best screen protector I've ever used. 5 stars.

Is invisible shield just not good anymore?

I think I'll try this Armorsuit...I just received the SGP screen protector....suck and overpriced..lucky I got it from Amazon...easy return service....

I got the Steinheil Ultra Crystal (SQ) and the fit (some air around the camera) and quality is really good (been using Steinheil screen protectors for years on my phones). I got my from Amazon.com and its kinda expensive but its like $21/year =).
This isn't the place I got my, but you can see all the different types.
http://cretouch.com/samsung-galaxy-c-210_238.html

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

I got this.

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?

Trouble with screen protector

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.

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.

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..

Bad experience with steinheil flex, ORANGE PEEL!

So when i first got the phone i had the vzw rep throw a anti-glare protector on it, but it really lost the clarity of the screen. I then went to a SGP flex, and if you didn't know this is a water based protector. Install went well, got the thing damn near perfect after two attempts. All the airbubbles were out, but was told it would take a few days to "cure". After close to a week on the screen protector the resolution looks horrible because of the orange peel. It almost looks like finger nail marks ALL over the whole screen. Anybody else experience the sgp for the worse? For $18 they should hold up a whole lot better than this.
I do like the feel of the protector, but thats where the love ends. Im blown away with how bad protector held up.

agreed, i found it just as bad as the zagg. i didnt mind how much oil it retains but the oils + the orange peel really soured me. im on an XO right now and i can feel the rubberiness (sp?) starting to fade. this applied excellently for me no orange peel but is real hard to clean

You guys need to get dry screen protectors... all of the wet ones are the same old crap.

But the dry one doesn't offer edge to edge coverage. The Flex might look bad, but it feels great, with a glassy smoothness that belies its textural downside.

I guess that is a downside, but if you pair up the protector with a good case thatll slightly lip over, you cant even see the end of the protector.

Which is exactly what i have done right here. I have a Case Mate TOUGH, and a Terrapin screen protector(dry fit, soon to be replaced with a Martin Fields though) and the lip of the case covers the edges of the screen and protector perfectly.

Same here, i cant speak for the protectors you have, but the $8 (after corp. Discount) verizon protectors look and feel great with matte black tpu case.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Im rocking an Incipio case from verizon. Maybe i will look at dif. protectors, not covering the whole screen isn't a big deal for me.
The feel on the SGP is great but oh my the orange peel. My friends that are into phones just laugh when they see this screen protector. Who would of thought, I heard Steinheil are the best you can buy.

I vote for Verizon crystal clear screen protector. It's simply beautiful (with the silicon case to cover-up the gap).

Looking for a slick "Like Glass" screen protector.

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?

Edit, good info on both of them in this thread. I think I might try the Flex.

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.

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.
