Looking for a good quality matte screen protector - Galaxy S II Accessories

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a good matte screen protector for my I9100 international. The one that I bought from eBay has great touch feeling to it, but the screen has small deviations of color, especially on a white background. Here's a screenshot:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The superior touch feeling makes me keep it despite this flaw, but surely there's a better, more clear one out there.
Can you point me at the right direction?
Thanks!
Marcel
EDIT: sorry if I named the topic wrong (ie. without the [q]). Can't find how to edit it!

Sadly this is the way it is.
I have never seen any matte screen protectors not behaving exactly like this
But if someone finds one which does not degrade the screen quality, I will buy that immediately!

I am tempted to try either the Belkin or 3M matte screens but the price is crazy $30+ for one, not even a box of two or three.
This would be really nice to find, I agree!

I do like these matte screens and the feel on your finger is very reassuring.

3M Vikuiti, ADQC27
I really like the 3M Vikuiti, ADQC27.
Antireflective and almost invisible. Not the cheapest, but so far the best screen protectors I found.

For me, the best screen protector is Steinheil Ultra Crystal by SGP

I'm pretty sure that isn't a matte screen protector, which is what the OP is asking about.

Yeah, the 3M Vikuiti isn't exactly matte either. It has "anti-reflective coating" whatever this means. Looks shiny in the videos posted on youtube.
I guess one cannot have the best of all worlds and we have to just live with some reflections every now and then...

Indeed, the Vikuiti is not matte -- but the antireflective property is really good and the bling is less. There are still reflections (even high quality museum grade glass has some) - but compared with other protectors it is greatly reduced.
My wife decided to toss out hers (also 3M Vikuiti, but not the antireflective, but the DQC160) because the difference is so significant.

SGP Ultra Optics. I compared it to my friends el cheapo protector, and it is much clearer, the colour and whatnot on my screen looked close to the phone without the protector on.

Try Powersupport's Anti-Glare, it's pretty good as well, comes in a pack of 2.

i got the the 3m version and it's quite the same as all the rest. haven't seen a better solution either

You could try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233748&highlight=3m

Vakuiti anti-glare mentioned before is really good compared to others ,I could only find overseas sellers worth the wait though after trying 5 others.

Have you tried from sgp store?

Yes, the package is a freaking story book for this damn screen protector. Right till now, this is the most expensive screen protector I have bought to date, and can be found only in gmarket so far. This is kind of like a hybrid matte/clear screen protector, where the matte layer is layered over the clear one slightly, and a protective coating on top of the layers if I understand it correctly.
I've been using it for 3 weeks, and I have to say this is one of the best screen protectors I have owned to date. The screen is smooth, not much clarity is sacrificed, cutting is great, and the best part is how EASY it is to wipe oil stains off the screen. When I wipe the screen with a cloth, I do not even have to use a single bit of strength. As instructed in the booklet, I just have to wipe the screen by circling with the cloth. 3 weeks into the usage, and I already like it a lot and would recommend it despite the high price.
This is not the most expensive I've ever paid for a screen protector, but it is close enough.
The 3M Estoc+ is indeed one of the best around. Easy to the touch and glide, the feel is almost powdery. Its readability and color clarity is on par with a glossy SP, saves there is no gloss at all. It is in fact matte!
I also find that it is suitably thick but not enough to hinder the sensitivity of the screen.
All in all, very good product.
Thanks, Vulpix, for introducing this to me and allowing me to join your purchase.
can you tell us how much did you pay for the screen protector (plus shipping cost to Singapore) ?
Thanks

Mine was shared with 2 others, it was around SG$26 per person after splitting the cost.
Wow....
...A really nice installation! Good work!!
My Copter display does not look as good as this one.
Thanks for sharing!

looks very nice but i will stick with my SGL GLAS (btw its more expensive) its absolutely the best and the most amazing screen protector.
Looks good, i can also highly recommend http://www.amazon.co.uk/SGP-Samsung...Q2WQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1314395567&sr=8-1 you can get this slightly cheaper on eBay, you would not even notice there is a screen saver on it

Ehhh, I had this before I put on the Estoc. The problem was the coating coming off after a few weeks, which prompted me to search for a new screen protector. I wouldn't bother with the Ultra Oleo.

I bought this from Amazon and the first day it got scratched. A big ugly one where the you could see a slice of rainbow effect. Not recommended! Might try Vikuiti or just get SGP Glass b/c it's sexy.
I want one of these but it is impossible to order on gmarket even with chrome translations etc. How did you guys order this? Is there a website user guide or somethin?
using it for 3 weeks, it really excellent. Not the most expensive screen protector i used, but certainly one of the best. Thank you Vulpix for ordering for me
Where did you get those from?
Same question...
I think that is the product:
h__p://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=217032528&pos_shop_cd=EN&pos_class_cd=90000003&pos_class_kind=T
Ok I will give it a shot at ordering. To save on shipping costs would anyone like to get a combined order in for the UK? I am in London so any takers, we could possible exchange number or summink and I can make this happen.
is this the best screen protector of sgs2?

The term best is always subjective.
I did not find it on eBay
I am now curious and interested to try this protector, but at the same time apprehensive, as it is very hard to find or buy. 3M sells a lot of stuff in Canada, yet this product cannot be found on their website.
I am POISONED!!!!!
Went to G Market.. learn some korean.. *ahem.. google translator* and order 2 pc for myself.. waiting for delivery now.......

DBA Cases: Just Like Glass Review

Recived my DBA Just Like Glass screen protector and three words define it, it feels just like glass.

}
​Immediately after installing onto my Galaxy S III, I can instantly feel how smooth the screen protector is; as if there was no screen protector at all my fingers just roll against it. Seamlessly
DBA stays true to what it saids for Just Like Glass, it repels against any oils or makeup etc.
I see no distorion to the touch pannel, nor oranage peel compared to other screen protectors
A truly unique feature of Just Like Glass is how it increase break reiestance to the touchscreen (not willing to try, but I do trust their word)
heres a video depicting how strong Just Like Glass is Just Like Glass
Only cons which are apparent to is:
How at times there will be a rainbow texture when the phone is off in certain lighting (rarely happens),I really do not like it but its not a huge problem - just noting it
Also how it does not fill the whole screen - due to the design of the Galaxy S III curved glass (not DBA's fault), I do relize there is design constrants but I still do wish it filled more the the front surface
In conclusion, Just Like Glass is the best screen protector on the market. There is some flaws but its overseen once you see the dozens of features it has compared to other screen protectors (Zagg,SGP etc. etc.). Just Like Glass is now replacing all ZAGG screen protectors on my devices as ZAGG is not even close to par on Just Like Glass grounds.
Overall I am extremely happy and satasfied with just like glass and reccmond a plunge into this new company as there is no chance of let down

Just like glass the worst product I ever bought
If I could give 0 I would. This product is of pure quality. Yes it probably does what it is supposed to do but adhesion property is terrible, I probably have installed at least 100 screen protectors, so I am not new to this. Yes it is smooth but it is ugly. Terrible fit on the screen, leaves some strange markings after a couple days, looks scratched up as well. Looks like a home made piece of plastic with cheap adhesive. A waste of money, Do not be fooled by some good reviews. This is the worst srcreen protector I have ever used and installed. I went back to steinhill and realized that it feels just as smooth and the build quality is a million times better than JLG. Just like glass is an unfinished product, the edges are terrible and the adhesive they use is low quality. Do not be fooled by the good reviews. I have installed hundreds of good screen protectors and I am not new to this. I asked for a refund and the company said they will ship me a replacement. Is this some kind of joke? I don't want this product. My phone is a Blackberry Z10 the cutouts are not precise, looks like a 7 year old cut it. I don't understand the good reviews.
Have you tried this?

Yeah when I got my case I got a screen protector. But it got a lot of bubbles and like the case is picking up the screen protector.

I would say xtremeguard if you could find one of their good coupons. $1+ they are good. Not worth retail though

Would be great if someone did a screen protector comparison of all the $1-$10 brands out there to see what, if any differences there are in actual use.
As long as it comes in a box so the protector can't become bent in shipping I imagine they're all quite similar.
mediadevil is fantastic, 2 screen protector for 9$
Amzer Kristal SP for N5 at Fommy
Well in my past experience with my older phones the major problem I used to face with the screen protectors was their cut out problems they dont have such fine cut outs and due to that it also creates problem at the time of installation and even result into bubbles......but this time I bought this Amzer Kristal Screen protector for my N5 , its a dry application and has very fine cut outs...no problem in the installation and believe me not a single bubble at all...
I am really happy to have it on my N5..it does not make any impact on the screen and its touch sensitivity...so far its working very fine and smooth....I got it from Fommy....for almost $ 7 - SHIPPED...which I would say quite worth one.....so you can just check it out once...may be you like this one because its better to take a good one rather than to go for these cheap ones because of some bucks discounts and all . As SPs can directly effect your screen and nobody likes to take any risk on it for sure...especially when they have their new and fav gadget in their hands .Can't say about all...But I will never.... ....I like this SP and my N5 both......
Thanks

Screen Protectors!

Hi guys,
Can you recommend good quality screen protector? Any good brand?
I looked but I don't think I want one. I'm a fan of glass and I don't see that happening for the watch.
I got a set of 6 EZGuardz screen protectors on EBay for less than $3. It fits right to the edge of the glass perfectly and is 100% invisible. I can feel a slight difference when swiping. It's just a tiny bit less slippery feeling. But the peace of mind knowing that I'm not gonna accidentally scratch the screen is well worth it.

I bought a set as well
I bought some Skinomi MatteSkin protectors that fit well enough, but I thought they made the screen look too fuzzy. I usually like matte finish anti-glare screen protectors, but I didn't like these particular ones on this watch. I'm going naked for now.
I ordered a set of two from XtremeGuard's website. They have a promotion going on where you can get 91% off using the promo code Christmas91 and purchasing three items. Should get it in the next few days. Will report back.
I bought the Skinomi TechSkins (the kind that you have to spray before applying) and I am happy with it. It has a lifetime guarantee (or so they say) but I have 6 of em so I doubt I'll ever need to take them up on that. It had a few bubbles for the first day or two but those started to face and now it isn't even noticeable. I can feel a slight change in the ability to slide my finger on it, but i'm comfortable with it.
Received my XtremeGuard protector (ordered 2, but only received one). Applied just like their other protectors, which was very easy. Looks good and no issues whatsoever. Not bad for the price either considering it was 91% off.

Hi! I'm also interested in a good matte screen protector, but til now I only bought reeeeeally cheap protectors on ebay..these are not well cut, but they do the job...
I think the question is, which one of these matte protectors will cause the least distortion/pixelation?
SGP use to have a matte protector called the "Ultra optics" which basically guaranteed 99% clarity. Does anything like that still exist?
I think most of them are just repackaged chinese BS, so you should buy cheapest pack of 10 and change them every 2-3 weeks if they get scratched
I'm using the Anker. Pretty happy with it so far. There's very little graininess/distortion, certainly not enough that it bothers me. There's always going to be a little graininess with any matte protector, but this one seems quite reasonable.

This is the only one I've tried. Still happy with it.
MediaDevil, they're a little pricey but that one is a good protector.
Still grainy but the grain on that protector aren't that visible to me.
I'M using miniguard and feels amazing. Also screen quality not changed at all.
