I really want to pick one of these up since I have heard such good things about them. However, I am curious about how you prevent the liquid from getting into the ear piece when applying the protector. Is there a trick to covering the ear piece?
Yes, I have this on my phone also and its amazing, virtually no orange peel and looks great. Highly recommended!

just man up, don't use toooooo much solution and pat dry...
make sure you take out the battery and DON"T put it back in after as the phone will reboot.
just install and wait over night with cool air blowing over it.
i know it will be tough not to touch your new toy, but without US warranty work, not worth it.

The solution they have dries really quickly, they added some substance it in, so even if the tiniest bit gets in there, you shouldn't worry too much, unless you spill the whole bottle in there lol
EDIT: this is speaking from the person who DRENCHED the screen protector before applying lol

Does it go right to the edges of the screen?
I got one ordered this weekend hopefully arriving soon.
How difficult was the application? I'm not too keen on wet application (Zagg, ugh) but is it pretty much drench, lay it on the screen and shift to center ASAP? Past experience with Zaggs, I've usually had to lay it perfectly on the first try since I wouldn't be able to shift it around afterwards.
FYI, "byublue", as mentioned earlier, takes $3 off, which is slightly better than 20%.

I'm assuming all wet applications should be the same, which means that your experience with zagg will be similar with xo.
You wouldn't be able to shift it around after its applied. However, you can peel it upwards, apply some more liquid, then place it back down
Did that with my skinomi, had no problem with it, should work with all wet screen protectors
Got mine today and applied it tonight. It was my first wet application, and it was WAY easier than the (dry-apply) SGP Crystal I had on my Dinc.
It goes very close to the edge of the screen.
No orange peel
No rainbow effect
As I said before... highly recommended

Not at all its slick
So I've never done a wet install. Basically I get as much of the liquid out as possible and then wait overnight for it to settle?
I don't think people realize that, sure even though your device isn't damaged from the liquid solution that may or may have leaked into the phone. BUT it probably set off the water damage sticker inside voiding your warranty.
That's the biggest fear for most people including myself.

Meh, I ordered two for under $5. Unless they scam my card I have nothing to lose. Got an extra incase I jack up putting the first one on and if not I'm sure I can trade it for something later.
I order two myself. figured I would keep a spare on hand and 5 bucks you cant complain. Usually around 15 bucks a piece. These look like they are the same material as the invisishield kind.
Not the same as invisibleshield. Just got mine in the other day for my iPhone4 and you get what you pay for. It's like any other screen protector you get but it's only 3 bucks you loss. Mehh
I personally like it. The feel is nice, it doesn't interfere with the quality of the SAMOLED screen, and it helps level out the front of the phone.
My only problem is I derped up the install and got something undernearth the front in two places.
I did have the issue that they weren't cut all the way through... making a little starter cut with my xacto blade and peeling the outer edges away completely helped. The inner cut-outs (speaker, camera and earpiece) all came out easily. Used some lightly soapy water on my fingers and on the adhesive side and it went right on, slid it into place.
Got mine in the mail today. Worst screen protector I have ever purchased. They were not cut well from the rest of the plastic sheet and were a pain to take off and unlike the person above the little pieces (camera, speaker) were a pain in the ass to cut out. I also did not like the feel at all (very rubbery, not smooth at all), and visually they were a complete catastrophe.
I cant remember what I got for my Moto Droid a few months back, but I'm going to have to look it up because THAT was a fantastic SP and actually felt better than the bare glass.
Anyway, I'm glad it was only 5 bucks cause they went straight to the garbage after 5 mins on my phone. Total garbage.
Not sounding good, hopefully I get a couple that wernt made by the guy that rode the short bus to work that day. We'll see, still waiting.
I dont plan on using the screen protector. I have realook one on now. More of just for the body part. As for the look, you are suppose to wait about 3-5 days and it usually clears up.
yea, i just ordered one a while back and just got it! I was soo not gonna replace my invisible shield with this **** .. I put it on my friends Samsung Moment! We put that bad boy to the test .
All in all . the Protector protected to phone from my friends Alabama Slammer .
Hey JimmyKimChee, could ya possibly post a bigger picture? That last one showing the phone hacked up is too small!

Seriously dude, it's a wet-install screen protector. You have to leave those on the phone for more than 5 minutes for it to dry and seal. It takes 3-5 hours to dry and seal completely, believe me, it would've looked really nice if you did.
The back, on the other hand....
But I think that's more my fault because I got impatient, like you, ripped it off and threw it away. Then I got it out of the trash, cleaned it off, and re-applied it. Looks not so great on the back, but it works perfectly.
I had something like this on my G1 -- looked pretty good in the beginning but the corners quickly started to peel and pick up all sorts of crap. Kept the screen piece on though, it was flawless other than the time I put my GF's G1 in my pocket next to mine, and the little loudspeaker bump put a nice divot in my protector.
But, if this one is as rubbery as my last.. Not going to put it on the Vibrant, other than a worst case (considering I've got 5 TPUs and an SGS in the house and just two Vibrants, I'm not sure why I even ordered these films anyway. Couldn't say no to "almost-free," I guess )

Anyone else try the Zagg dry INVISIBLEshield T-Mobile is selling yet? It works amazing, plus the dry shield feels a lot more like glass under your fingers
lifetime warranty at all the Zagg shops and kiosks plus they'll switch it out with a wet one for free.
I bought the dry one from TMO because all the wet ones at Zagg store are on back order and won't be here for two Weeks, and that's definitely too long with such a beautiful screen.

It will be the middle easy to install option

Same here. I'm always afraid the liquid will destroy whatever it is i'm putting it on.
It wasn't too hard, my screen looks flawless. Cleaned it very well before even attempting to put it on.
Plus a Zagg kiosk will switch it out for five bucks if you mess up, or install it for 10 if you don't think you're up to it.

First thing I bought for mine. I was hesitant because I did not want anything to retract from my Super AMOLED screen experience ) but am overall definitely happy!! Was $15 or $20 at the InvisibleShield kiosk at my local mall; installed on my phone professionally with a life-time warranty included! Adds a great feel to the phone's screen under my fingers now too! Definitely something I would recommend to everyone with this phone!

Hmm...I might have to find a kiosk somewhere and have them install it. That way it's on them if they mess it up. Do you have any pics of it on your phone?
Its really hard to put them on. I had the same problem with the kiosks here in Minnesota, they were on back order. I went to T Mobile and they had the dry shields. The girl was cool enough to put it on for me. She messed up on the first one and opened another to try. She then messed up again but told me sorry and gave me another free pack. So then I finally brought the shields to the kiosk and had the guy do it for free. Even though it is a dry shield, he still sprayed it down and applied it. Works great! They are really tough to get the bubbles out on the screen side. Good luck....
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
yeah i suck at putting these on
I've had these on all of my devices so far. The vibrant I'm replying from has ghost armor and so far no complaints. Overtime it will naturally bubble, but so far after a year I have no bubbles on this device. I'd check out Ghost Armor as well since the quality is about the same.
Highly recommend a professional installation as well...

Def worth a try. You can always take it off if you don't like it! Like I said in my earlier post, I was the same as you; wanting nothing to interfere with my visual experience between my eyes and the S-AMOLED screen, and a lot of people agreed with me. This was even the reason for not using one on my G2x and Sensation... however, after vivid use with the G2x and no screen protection (And Gorilla Glass or not...), it has gotten an almost "natural-looking" haze to it that can not even be cleaned off... so I definitely thought much harder about it for the GS II and the guy at the kiosk agreed with me; no question. Now the phone feels much more "tactile" and the screen control much more pronounced and acurate. Cleaning it is a breeze too. Only thing I suggest is to go with a brand that is well-proven. The last thing you want is to buy a shield and have it leave a sticky residue when removed, yellow and/or fade over time or both! This is exactly why I went with Zagg/InvisibleShield (And haven't looked back!!)! Plus, the life-time warranty doesn't hurt either (And the "life-time" warranty lasts onky as long as the company; so pick a reputable one!).
I have used protectors from Bestskinsever.com for about the past year. The quality seems to be on par with Zagg and the price is typically 50% less. On several occasions I have contacted the company regarding installation issues and they have sent me a new skin, at their expense, no questions asked. They don't seem to have the skin yet for TMOs SGII, however, if you email the company they will give you an estimate of when it will be in.
Just my .02ยข - hope it helps.
Just picked one up from T-Mobile store along with the D3O case. The back was easy to apply, the front was a little harder since I messed up. They did a great job on how to apply the protection and I think it's one of the best so far. I will let the screen sit in for a day or so and come back to review the product with pictures
Zagg makes you send the old one back or they claim to charge you retail for the replacement. They ask for billing info.
One tip I'd like to give to everyone... Try to apply screen protectors when you buy the phone. Once you take it out of the box... the screen is pristine since it has a plastic film on it... hit it with air duster, then apply. I used to do it for all my customers and that's the easiest way to do it. Bubbles only show when there is dust. When done properly, I've never seen a bubble form.

I have the dry invisible shield on mine. Its friggin amazing. Not too hard to put on either. My buddy who works at the tmo store did it for me but I watched him do it and it was very simple. Small bubbles go away after 1-2 days. I prefer it over a case for sure, because I'd rather not add anymore size to the phone.
If anyone is worried about messing up, dont be. I had mine put on by a chick at the tmobile store when I purchased the phone. Great job on the back, pretty bad job on the front. Tons of bubbles. However, by day 4 all the bubbles ( 12 or so ) were gone, and even the part where she bent the protector prior had evened out. I love it ! Plus you have time to return it !

I don't think you can return a screen protector... that's like returning a used condom.
i bought Full body protection and i removed it after 2 days, because of
1- bubbles on the screen, camera and back
2- dust between sticker and phone
3- screen color shift (color disorder)
4- the screen will NOT be sharp
5- when you remove it some of the stickers will NOT be removed
6- it stick to your phone very hard, and removing it is very hard (use a heat gun or hair blower)
7- the white plastic stripes on the back will get stuck with glue and it will be really hard to remove
8- it makes your phone feel cheap
9- look how ugly it looks

Looks like a crap install job to me. I use their screen protectors and they're great. You just have to know how to install them.
You should probably let people who know what they're doing install screen protectors for you.
Not to be mean or anything, but you really need to read the goddamn manual about 10 times on how to install this.
Pretty much just looks like you didn't clean your phone at all. Or rather looks like you installed it on a dirty carpet for that matter.
I had no issues what so ever with installing. (no bubbles, no dust or w.e)

Agreed. I use it on all my mobile devices and gadgets and am fully satisfied.
Ideally you're supposed to work in a "clean" environment and make sure before you apply any part on you should be certain that any surface you wipe/touch is lint/debris free. Take your time with it.
But thanks to OP for sharing his experience with the rest of us.
you dont know hot to apply this stuff, thats the point... nor a bad product but a bad applier
i take it you have a pet i see alot of hairs or something like that you should of installed it in a bathroom after leaving the shower on so it gets steamy so the dust particles arent in the air, also looks like you might of used to much liquid to install this or didnt get it out after aligning it, anyways why not contact them and see if you can get a replacement? skinomni sent me a replacement 3 times for there skin free of charge but of course they have lifetime warranty...

I love my xtreme guard. I had no problem installing with no bubbles and no specks. I also have 3 dogs and 2 cats.
a. Definitely a bad installation. I've installed countless of Xtremeguard protectors for F&F and have never had a problem (besides a few bad cuts, which they graciously replaced free of charge). And it's not even that hard. Soapy water, squeeze, let dry, done.
b. Try BSE. Better cut, better quality, more expensive.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Hopefully your next attempt with screen protectors is more successful.
I've got XtremeGuard on both my One and my Lumia 920. Aside from mysterious black specks that I dealt with on the first few days of owning the protectors, they look perfect and I love them.
You seriously have to read their instructions on applying it several times and follow it to the "t". I used a relatively liberal amount of soap and water and I squeegeed all of it out on a flat surface, and that was after a quick wipe on the screen and back.
I've been using their stuff for a little over a year and I've never had an issue with it. It just looks like you didn't take the time to install it properly.

Hi guys,
Anyone here using this protector know how to remove it safely?
I want to installed another protector so I tried to removed it carefully only on a small part in the back cover, but beat audio logo tear off, so canceled it.
Thanks.
While this is not a direct accessories for this phone it will work for this phone and any other . if you have light scratches or scuffs on your screen from normal use you can use the product below to fix most of them and go back to looking almost new . I figured it worker wonders on my paint I'd try it on my phone and was amazed how well it worked .

I think I'll stick to not scratching my phone.
I dont know about that... car paints is different from glass. I believe that those rubbing compound are like very fine liquid sandpaper that cut the clear coat of the car and bond it.
OP post some results please.
If you're that confident in this fix, ut a fine scratch in your screen and apply it shown in a video.
I'm sure you will get tons of thanks if this is proven to work!
In a similar vein, toothpaste is meant to work quite well for removing fine scratches (on the basis it's very gently abrasive).
I tried it on a scratched watch face once...
The watch smelt very nice afterwards
(Had precisely zero effect on the scratch though)
Thanks for the tip. Is this really works?

I have a video uploading of me applying this stuff to my screen of my HTC One, I am NOT going to purposely scratch the phone that is just stupid. This is to be used for removing small scuffs and scratches from pocket use ect, not gouges. Any scratch that a camera phone can visibly pick up is going to be way to deep.
One thing you guys fail to understand is that Gorilla Glass is FAR FAR FAR more durable than the clear coat of a car that this stuff was made for. When you make a product that fixes clear-coat it has to be some of the most soft gentle compounds that one can find used so that it does not chew or eat away at a clear coat. That is why it works just fine on glass.

When you make a product that fixes clear-coat it has to be some of the most soft gentle compounds that one can find used so that it does not chew or eat away at a clear coat. That is why it works just fine on glass.

OK Here is Video 1 showing the application, I am uploading a 2nd vid to show as best i can the screen after ive rubbed it into the screen and wiped it off. Mind you i had already done this process once before i made the post... thus leading me to make the post.

if i had the product, i'd test it out on my og droid. How does this stuff work on actual car scratches? I have a few light scratches i wouldnt mind getting rid of. Maybe ill pick it up for that, and just see if it works on the droid lol

it works great if you do not follow the directions. The directions want you ro rub it in, let it dry then rub it off. However from post and testing done in some of the automotive forums i am on it has been concluded that if you rub it in until there is nothing left to rub in then wipe it off it has better results. its done well on my car that had alot of scratches from previous owner. Best used with small micro fiber wax buffers that you can get 2-3 to a pack from Advance/Auto Zone. Sorry for going off the OP mods.
Seriously....Is this an ad?
P.s
If you scratched your new nexus 5 already you are the people who buy the big ugly otter mofo cases XD

This seems like a terrible solution for one main reason, it will completely ruin the oleophobic coating on the screen. I am a car guy myself and swear by Meguiars for headlight and paint restoration. However, I would NEVER use this stuff on my phone...

Im sure if we coated the screen every day it would, using it once a year once every few months in minor amounts isnt going to do anything. ive use it on alot of my phones over the last 2 years with no issues.

It's not like liquid sand paper. Not even close. It has a resin compound that FILLS IN the scratches. If it were like liquid sand paper, it'd just make more scratches witch you'd then have to buff out.

Way to bump a 2 year old post to post wrong information.
It is like liquid sand paper.
It has a higher abrasive index than some of megs' professional series polishing compounds.
It's an abrasive period. It just so happens to also have fillers in it.
Way to reply with wrong information...waaa waaa waaa

These are way better than the plastic crap that is dominant.
I've bought a couple of these. They are $8.95 on Amazon Prime:

I've also had one on my HTC One m8. Works awesome, and the feel... feels like glass.

From the pictures I think that must be Billy Mays hawking the things...
Hahaha! Yeah... They have to pitch these things some how (RIP Billy Mays)
But really, these protectors are the way to go. I will never use a plastic screen protector again.
Naah, I like my wet-applied TPU protectors, they never ever ever get dust stuck between it and the screen.
So I just got one. Hope this fits with otter box

the trick to installing these glass protectors is this:
turn your shower on to its hottest water setting; close the door.
go back in 10 minutes.
install the screen protector in your bathroom, with the door closed.
sounds nutty, but the condensation in the air attaches to any particulate matter in the air, and sticks it to the walls, or the floor;
not your screen :good:

That's about 10 times the size of my bathroom (which partially explains why I think it's nutty to be messing with a phone in there).
Then again, I actually did have access to a dust-free clean room about 10 years ago, when I was working for IBM.
Maybe what's needed is a small dust-free chamber to do these things. We could make a fortune selling them.

Do you leave your phone in there while the water is running or do you bring it with you when you walk in?

take it with you;
the plan is to remove materials in the air by adding condensation to weigh them down, not to 'hydrate' your phones screen; it probably wouldn't hurt; but i wouldn't do it as the condensation that accumulates on the screen is going to have to evaporate some time, and i dont want to know what the effects of that are after ive installed the s/p
I work at clean room and I usually install my screen protector under a chemical hood along with some gloves... Perfect install every time

I had to make a conscious decision and remove my screen Protectors. I tried a few and even some privacy screen Protectors. but most if not all of them desensitized the touch screen about 20% percent of the time. Plus, I love the gorgeous screen and vibrant colors hehe.
bought the zagg one from bestbuy, doesn't even come close to fitting the screen. short on one side and at the top and bottom when applied, if not for the box i would swear this was not made for this device!, that is how off the sizing is, application on the other hand was not only easy but bubble and dust free.

Zagg protectors aren't the best. I had one put on at a best buy by an employee a fam member's S3 last year and she had to go through 4 boxes to find one that fit correctly. Lol, $60 of protectors down the drain for Best Buy!
Just got the one from Amazon but can't be used with otter box. Even if I remove the otter box screen protector it is still to thick. It a nice screen protector tho. Fits exactly perfect
