Hi,
I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM version, and I wanted to buy a protective film for the screen, but at the moment are a bit undecided!
I am torn between the film HD of BodyGuardz and the film of Ghost Armor, which one do you recommend ?
thank you very much
If you'd consider a cheaper protector I'd recommend terrapin. They can be found on eBay for really low prices and I'm more than happy with mine.

I think I'll buy a xoskin for mine sgn
But you had films of Bodyguardz or Ghistarmor ?

I like the ones verzion sells, they don't yellow, easy to install, and last a while. Oh, and they are cheaper.
ok but do you apply a film by the wet method, involves some risk for the Nexus ?

Has anyone found one that protects the whole screen?

XO skins. It is a wet application though.
Very happy with it
I bout the SGP, and it's great.
Are any of these screen protectors matte? My GF has a matte protector on her 4S that I really like.

Does anybody know of/ have a screen protector that covers the entire glass on the GNex and doesn't have orange peel texture?
Diztronics. Their previous screen protector went almost edge to edge but people botched and moaned about it. It was good because. It went edge to edge to the tpu lip therefore you don't get premature peeling or bubbling so it lasts longer.
My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.
I did an extensive amount of research and found people liked Martin Fields. Almost all others had some type of complaints.

do u by any chance where i can get a white carbon fiber skin??
you can get it from Xgear, I considered ordering it and the tempered glass. But the two adds up to $50, so I didn't.

They only have the Verizon version and I wonder if that will fit with the GSM version.
I think it will fit. It is only slightly off
Too bad it doesn't cover the bottom front of the gnex. Or else it will be a good skin

Hi I recently got my verizon galaxy nexus, and really don't like cases but I would like your personal opinions on screen protectors( witch brands or models you like or dislike) lastly what do you prefer wet or dry install?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
really? another one of this threads.
This is getting ridiculous. You really should search a little. There is like 50 of them in the accessories and in general. But the cheap eBay ones are fine and feel better then zagg or xo and don't have the Orange peel effect. Do not get the Verizon ones unless you can't wait. The screen will scratch easier then gorilla glass phones. I know from experience.

actually the verizon screen protectors are not that bad....I have one on my nexus and there is not a single scratch on it...it is non tacky and feels smooth ......and I have had it on from Dec 2011 until today...check out the pics.....

I have it on as well. The clear ones and it is good but also has a orange peel look to it.
XO is a very good and popular screen protector.
Try the realook screen protectors. I just received them yesterday and they're great.

I'm pretty excited about the Fantom tempered glass one myself, though it's not out yet so we don't really know how the experience will be.
XO Skin.
And nativi is right; please search before posting next time.
Sorry for not doing the best job on searching, please except my apology but other than that thanks for your answers!

I have tried xoskins and enjoyed them; but I seem to find myself going back all the time to bestskinsever.com
none to be honest. but if i had to pick one it would be xoskins
Realook would be my first choice if I wanted to splurge for the perfect fit/cutout. Haven't actually tried it for the Galaxy Nexus but it was THE BEST screen protector I'd used for my Galaxy S II.
Aduro MEMBRANE would be a very close second for cheapest and best bang for your buck. Plus you get 3x!
I tried xoskins and it's too rubbery/bubbly/not as clear! I don't know how you guys like it. Try the Audro for cheap and it feels SOOOOO much better.
$5.95, free shipping and you get 3x. That's less than $2 each!
You must not have waited for it to dry. I have been using XO Skins for a long time. I value quality over quantity ever time.
dont use screen protectors, ruins image quality.

I'm 100% sure you didn't wait long enough for it to dry.
It should appear as if there's no protector at all. The texture is slightly less smooth than naked screen but it's nowhere near rubbery.

The Aduro's are pretty decent but I find the adhesive to be extremely inconsistent.
depends on how u carry your phone..
in pouch... no screen protector or case
in hand... case with anti slip
in pocket.. screen protector and or case

What's the best screen protector to fill in scratches that also is very clear and doesn't have an orange peel effect?

Zagg is good also for filling in scratches. Most liquid/solution based screen protectors are your best bet.

Yeah all wet apply will fill in the scratches but all wet ones have to orange peel to a certain extent

I recently replaced my (no-name) matte screen protector with a ghost armor skin on the display. There was a scratch there from my first weekend with the phone that's completely invisible now. There's no orange peel effect with the ghost armor either.
xoskin and sgp flex you should try out. xoskin is almost without orange peel. sgp flex has slight orange peel but it is slightly smoother and less rubbery than the xoskin
I've never tried the solution-based protectors. Are they difficult to apply?
No just follow the included instructions.

I'm trying to do some research for a screen protection, back in a days I bought my INCIPIO case that came w/ screen protector and it was sort of settled I figured no need to get another one since this one came w/ it, well after a while (ab)using it I think it's time))
so I'm thinking to get ZAGG, but I want to get some of other people's opinion on that or maybe better option out there..
please advise
I just got my XO Skins screen protector, absolutely the best, it is crystal clear, you don't even realize a screen protector is there.
It also does not affect the feel of the screen, glides across easily.
I have a ZAGG. Meh. If they didn't replace it at the mall kiosk for $5 everytime I wanted I'd be less happy with it. You can definitely tell it's there.

Get a GhostArmour screen protector, a thousand times better then the Zagg.

I used Zagg on my HTC Incredible and it protected it just fine, but it wasn't as clear and smooth as some of the other brands mentioned here. If you choose to go with Zagg though, make sure you buy it online and avoid paying $20+ at some chain retailers.
The lifetime warranty is what keeps me coming back though.

+ 1000 for this! I have ghost armour on my galaxy nexus and nexus 10. Can't beat the lifetime warranty and replacement! Once it's on and cured, it's like nothing is there.
Zagg is lifetime warranty too

Zagg has a disgusting orange peel effect and its a ***** to clean, since it is so rubbery you need water to effectively clean it. That's been my experience and the reason I switched to ghost armor.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I'm still not clear on which screen protector to get... amazon has xo skin and few others but i couldn't find GhostArmour there. I prefer to get a hard screen protector ( i think it's better so I can reapply it if needed ), clear is a must (no tint) and w/ warranty.
I got the zagg for my nexus and I'm not too pleased with it. You can see it and my finger doesn't glide across smoothly. currently looking for another one that's more clear

Sorry to hear that, I want to try something else other than zagg, a lot of people complains(

I have the XO Skins and have to say its really good. I have had it replaced a few times because the oils build up and they are pretty good about replacements. It used to be better as they wouldn't require you to purchase it and then they will refund it but such is life. I would defiantly recommend it.
