Warning About VZW Screen Protectors!

They are just terrible.
for the first week, it attracted sweat. I was not even sweaty, yet it absorbed the sweat. If i were watching you tube videos, i could see where it was wet and id have to wipe it away.
for the second week. Its picking up fingerprints, in my pocket. its that bad. The fingerprints dont go away either. It starts making bumps. Heres the kicker, if you try to swypeD See what i did there?) it away, more finger prints! They start to make it hard just to swipe left and right in the home screens.
To point out some other flaws-
-OverPriced
-Does not even cover the complete screen
-Attracts sunlight
-cut outs are too large, incase of user error
-comes in a pack of 3, so if i get a new screen protector (no way im not) ill feel bad about it. (yes, this is a flaw.)
So Never, Never, Ever, get the verizon screen protector. Even if you were in my position where you did the living social thing to get $50 to spend, Just get two cases, or the highly overpriced $6 screen cleaners, which are really just the free things they give you when you get glasses.

I don't have that problem with Verizon screen protector.
And if you use finger to clean off finger prints.....there's something wrong with you. It's like using a dust-maker to clean the dust?

I do like the smoothness and clarity of the Verizon screen protector. My ghost armor still left some bumps and lines in the protector. The protector not fitting the whole way isn't too bad because I'm using the amzer case but it would be nice it it was a little bigger. I don't like the fact that it scratches so easy. The ghost armor resisted scratches, but this one just takes it. I had it in my pocket all day and managed to find scratches on it. I guess that's why they give you 3. If it was a decent protector you would think 1 is all you need.

The Verizon screen protectors are a bargain compared to some other options out there, and they're just as good. I've used $13 (for one) BoxWave ClearTouch Crystal screen protectors on my Eris, Incredible, and Fascinate with very very good results. I purchased the Verizon clear screen protectors since BoxWave didn't have theirs ready when the phone was released, and I was able to see how good the Verizon protector was beforehand on my friend's Galaxy Nexus.
Most of the items you listed as flaws will be present with other screen protectors. Sure, the Verizon protector could have extended widthwise more, but covering the curved bottom with this style of dry/static application screen protector will result in the entire bottom edge being lifted off the screen. I haven't seen any screen protector that doesn't attract sunlight compared to no screen protector. Even anti-glare versions tend to attract light, though with a more diffuse reflection. The cutouts for the ear speaker, camera, and sensor are fine and hardly too large. I've never experienced the problem where fingerprints cause bumps.

the Verizon ones beat the other 3 brands I have tried by far. Maybe you should take a shower so you're not so greasy.

Well put when I first got them I made the mistake of getting the anti glare and that was horrible then I bought an xo case fit one that I did not like the fit of so I went back and got the clear one from verizon and I am now satisfied

What's wrong with you guys.. Verizon screen protector is not a bargain. Besides, you can get very good screen protectors from Ebay for negligible amount of money. Lmfao

I agree. A good screen protector will cover the entire glass, not just the viewable screen portion. The price is like $15 or something?
Typically you can order a better one for less. I have an XO brand I paid less for and it's a edge-to-edge wet apply.
I bought the 3 pack, pulled one out and placed it over the screen (before trying to apply it) saw what it covered, and put it back in the little bag. I have 3, never used, waste of money.

I think they're just okay. Great clarity but does attract fingerprints and the prints are hard to wipe off using my T-shirt.
Once I'm done with the pack, I plan on getting the SGP ultra clear oleophobic.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

Bought a 3 pack with the Verizon accessory sale for like $7 or $8, they're perfectly fine for me and thought it was easy to apply. The part of the screen not covered is covered up my by gel skin. When I clean mine, I grab a Zeiss lens cleaning wipe, and it works fine for me. I'm pretty picky on screen protectors and typically hate them, but I actually prefer the feel of the VZW protector over the bare glass.
/no issue
/personal preference

Bought verizon 3-pack for about $8 after corporate discount, and nothing's wrong with them. I actually had a bad 1st Gnexus device that I had to return, while they were swapping I asked for a piece of tape to lift and reapply the used protector on the new device, and the verizon rep was astounded at how easily I applied it without a single bubble or dust particle.
Btw, they cover as much as the screen as possible, if it went edge to edge it would be lifted because of the curvature in the glass. I use my nexus to talk about an hour a day, and I do have a pretty greasy face, and my screen is nicely protected from my nasty face.

Count me among those liking the VZW clear screen protectors. As good or better than any others I've used. Cleans fine with a microfiber cloth. No issues.

After using sgp and power support shields, I can confidently say the Verizon protectors are garbage. Save yourself some money and just buy an sgp shield for your phone. Same price and significantly better.

+1 for the vzw clear screen protectors. not perfect, but much better than the wet application skinomi.

My one experience with the SGP Oleophobic was that it scratched very easily. The screen protector scratched while I was trying to rub out bubbles after application. The Verizon clear and BoxWave Crystal protectors never scratched from doing this.

Just installed a VZW protector on my phone.
Crystal clear, no orange peel that I can see. A little less slick than I would like but once it gets "greased up" from normal use Im sure it will be fine.
Only complaint is it doesnt cover the bottom portion of the phone perfectly....sides and top are good in conjunction with my Diztronics rev 3 case, but the bottom of the protector is about 3mm short. Good enough for now, while I decide which better proector I want to buy.

Do people not use invisi shield anymore. Those are nice and pretty cheap.

I will say these are "ok" at best...they look good on the phone but if you put your phone in your pocket they scratch really easily. Mine looked horrible after a week of use.

Need help finding the right screen protector

I want to find a wet apply screen proctecor (Horrible at putting screen protectors on)that covers everything but the catch is i don't want a rubber feel to it i want it to feel like glass or smooth like plastic. I don't care about glare or finger prints because they can come off. Like I said all I want is wet apply,no rubber feel to touch, doesn't take away from the beautiful screen.
Please help and I looked at the poll they had but didnt hint on the info im looking for.

I have the XO Skin protector and while there is some tackiness to it, it's not as bad as others I've had in the past. I still use Swype without issue.
I don't think any of the wet application protectors available will suit your requirements. They all have some degree of "grip" to them. The only "smooth like glass" protectors I know of are dry applications.

Oh i see lol well what about the flex?

Xtreme Guard has been working great for me. No orange peel and they are only $1.99.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/23071073586...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_2415wt_1378

I find the XO Skins to be the most forgiving for micro bubbles under the screen protector. The only time that I haven't had a perfect application of the screen protector, was when I got a piece of lint or fiber under it.
Looks good and lasts pretty long with warranty to back it up. Only thing is its expensive compared to some you can find on ebay, but I believe there is a 40% discount code floating around somewhere from memorial day sale

XO skins man. Fits perfect and barely noticeable. If you use a case make sure you get the case fit. Love it. Used to have the zagg invisible shield but IMO opinion XO skins destroys it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

Like the guy on top said. Make sure it'll fit your case. I had a flex screen protector and it felt smooth but still rubber like. My cruzerlite case ripped it right off. My otterbox defender left impressions on the screen protector. Try a dry one. They're only $2 for 6 of them with free shipping.

Looking for a Screen Protector

I'm trying to buy a screen protector preferably with a matte finish. I like the fact that its a smooth finish allowing for easy gliding with your fingers. I also looked up crystal clear ones but I do not know how they feel to the touch. Also I'm trying to look for ones with good cutouts (NOT like this: http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-Anti-G...8-6&keywords=galaxy+s3+screen+protector+matte). Can anyone give me some input or links on amazon?

Have you looked into the Spigen SGP Flex HD screen protectors?
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...3-screen-protector-steinheil-flex-series.html
It's wet application, so I don't know how comfortable you feel about installing them.

Do your fingers glide across it easily or does it kinda stick? I've put invisible shields on my phones before and I hate that its sticky (even when I first applied it) and the orange peel/yellowing effect

From what I know, the Flex HD is pretty smooth to the touch and you won't have to worry about any orange peel/yellowing effect because it's a high quality product.

not sure about the matte finish or the glide for you, but i can tell you i've had 3 screen protectors on my galaxy s3.
first there was the ZAGG. expensive, full body, etc. the screen protector was decent enough, very plyable and stretchy. uses that press and peel install method. cutouts for the phone suck though. they are cut-downs, not cut outs. more area is exposed than needed. i never did like the feel of it either once it was on. that and the store guy goofed the install, so...tore that off.
then there was the protector that came with Incipio case i bought. way different material. stiff and rigid, a harder plastic feel than the soft plyable ZAGG. i think this is that "crystal" type protector. but the cutouts were worse on this than the ZAGG. even more area exposed because of big cut downs on the top and bottom (lots of area exposed up top basically stretching end to end) i did install it though, and i liked the feel and glide more than the ZAGG. it seems more "slippery". unfortunately the top two corners never took (they are awfully pointy due to the big exposure up top). they seemed to be bent up in the packaging. and so that screen protector also came off (i do like the incipio case though).
now i'm onto the Skinomi. came with a skin. the cut outs are actual cut outs. no cut downs, no extra exposure. install was a little harder due to alignment, i swear i think they cut it small. i did get everything to line up eventually though. old school install with the spray bottle. material of the Skinomi is probably more ZAGG than Incipio-like, but it's not quite as plyable as the ZAGG. I do actually like the feel on my finger with the Skinomi. It's not the same feel as the Incipio though, it has a little more "sticky" to it than the hard protector did. pretty pleased with it tho, and it's working thus far.... :good:
anyway, if that helps, cool. if not, thanks for the vent.

Moshi is nice and anti glare... It does cover edge to edge but the blue trim covers up the blue pebble finish. I have the sgp nano optics on the way...

I picked up the Flex HD and installation went smooth. Only thing I didn't like was the spray bottle included which sucked. After installation, the screen is smooth as silk, very little "tug" or any of that yellowing effect. Best part is, it comes with 2:good:

I saw in a review video from a guy who posted it on this forums said it had a rubber feel to it. I'm a swype user and I hate when my finger gets stuck because of that rubber feeling. When I felt matte for the first time, it glided so easily that I would never have problems swyping.

I was never a fan of Zagg products, until I had the HD screen protector installed on my S3. Perfectly clear, and its 100x smoother than regular Invisishield products. Id recommend it to anyone.

so I've had a chance to try a few different screen protectors already and I've found that the edge of the S3 display has a slight curve making it difficult for screen protectors to stay down.
the edges on 3 different sp's have done this. I've tried a full screen and then a few that were smaller than the display and still have issues.
The issue is that thick screen protectors just lift up off the curved display over time..
It sounds like wet SP installs are going good though?

I snagged the Incipio Sicrylic (sp?) off ebay. It's the soft rubber case with the two pieces. A snug rubber piece, and an outer "shell" that snaps onto the rubber case. Works really well actually. My daily case at the moment (better than the vent samsung with coin holder, and a straight skin from skinomi - i have the carbon skin)
I could post a link, but I'm a newb and so that's not allowed. I'll try to take a picture or sometghing and update this or my earlier post. Spent all this money on acc's...might as well share with folks so they don't have to repeat my mistakes....
and to the other poster who mentioned wet installs going well - i'll have to agree. vs the peel install on zagg, and the rgular install on the incipio crystal, i've ben happiest with my work and the protector after the wet install on the skinomi.

I've used dry application protectors on my other phones but its not going to work with the curved glass of GS3. Good luck.

Best wet applied screen protector (case fit)?

I have been wanting to get a Zagg HD protector but it appears they only make a full screen coverage version which won't work with most TPU cases. I don't want to give up my Diztronic case so I'm looking for a similar wet application screen protector that will work. Ideally, I'd like it to have very minimal orange peal like the Zagg HD one does.
Any recommendations?

+1 I also have a diztronic case which I like because it keeps the slimness, but at the same time I'd like for the full screen protector to not have its edges lifted (looking at you zagg HD)

I have the ZAGG HD and love it.
i got one for free from bestbuy and they installed it as well (came with my phone) - i let it sit for 2 days and when i put my "PT" case on it came off =(
the PT case is two pieces top and bottom, it covers up the entire back and the front bezel.
bestbuy replaced the screen protector and i wanted 2 days again, this time however, when i put the case on i pressed DOWN on the phone while sliding it in the case - to put preasure on the bottom/back of the case and less preassure on the screen.
nnot sure if i explained that correctly, but now i am able to take the case on/off at will without getting in the way of the ZAGG HD
it takes a little longer, but works perfectly

I just got the Best Skins Ever "Version 2", which has reduced orange peel and a better feel. It's about $6, and is probably the best skin I've ever used, normally I hate them all. The holes are individually cut out, no U-channels like the Zagg HD. Feels like glass, nice and slick from day 1.

I have an Armorsuit Military Shield and have never had any problems with it.

Based on your description you appear to be looking for something along the lines of Zagg's "case friendly" screen protector for the IPhone. My solution? Simply shaving the sides and top/bottom of a full sized protector. A scissor is largely ineffective because of the difficultly in cutting straight. I solved this by using an old fashioned paper trimmer. Requires a very sharp blade. Can also be accomplished with a straight edge like a ruler and a very sharp razor blade. Cut to size and apply. The "edge" is virtually impossible to see. If cut properly, it actually goes right to the edge of the case itself. I practiced bit on a few excess pieces I had.

Thanks for getting back on track. This may be the way I go with it. At least until Zagg comes out with a case fit version of their HD protector for this phone. I'm tempted to just try one with the Diztronic case and let it fully dry for a few days at home before carefully trying to get the case on. But I highly doubt that is going to work.

I noticed Zagg has a "Case Friendly Screen Coverage" for the S3 for $14.99:

Nice find. Looks like it's the non HD version though, which means more orange peel. Hopefully they will come out with the HD version soon.

Perfect! I had this on my Galaxy Nexus and it was the best protector I found. I'm glad they finally released it for the S III.
Thanks guys!

Just checked their website, looks pretty good. I'd definitely refer my friends to it.

best non-glass screen protector?

hey guys. so I had a problem with the Zagg Shield HD...once I got the extended battery and the case for it..it kept lifting up. My wife has her on her phone and it's now got a bunch of marks on it.
So I tried the Spigen glas. protector. looks beautiful but always had sensitivity issues. They sent me a free replacement. still, i'm not enjoying the phone as much and I feel it's down to how I have to press extra hard on the back button and type extra slow...
so, what is the best "old-school" screen protector i can get that won't affect sensitivity but still protects the screen from scratches? I need one that won't go to the edges but also won't just be the screen part...if that makes sense. something like the coverage of the Spigen glas without the sensitivity issues i'm having with the glas.
thanks!

Try the Anzer/Amzer. What ever it is called. I plan on replacing my Spigen Glass screen protector with one of those. I hated my zagg invisible shield HD.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

searched Amazon and three versions came up. they all look like they go to the edge of the screen, which is not good with cases on the extended battery. that's why I had to get rid of the Zagg...
any others?

I am just using the one that came with my Diztronic case and I ordered a pack of 3 screen protectors from Amazon for $3.85 (for my wife's GS3). They are all clear, don't mess with the sensitivity, and look great. If I hand my phone to 10 people, 9 of them wouldn't even know that have I have a screen protector on there and the 1 that does know would know because they are looking for it.
I don't know why everyone insists on getting these tempered glass screen protectors or the Zagg-like (rubber feeling) screen protectors that you can't poke a pen or a drill bit through in a YouTube video. All I need is something that will keep my keys from scratching up the screen in my pocket and if it does scratch the screen protector I want to be able to replace it quickly and cheaply. For basically a buck each... You can't go wrong.
I still have the original 'cheap' screen protector on my old Vibrant that my kid is using and it still looks great so I have never needed to change them out. I still have 2 out of the 3 that I bought back when I got that phone so I am ready to go if/when it needs replacing.

Spigen nano clear is good. It came with my case. The edges only go to the edge of the screen so it's good if u have a bulky case. It's also really easy to clean and feels smooth like glass
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

anyone try the Spigen 4H protector?
the nano and clear are 2H, the glas is 8H, this one is 4H and seems to be more like a film but stronger than the other models.
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...axy-s3-screen-protector-steinheil-series.html

I'm looking for a good and cheap screen protector too. I prefer the dry application hard plastic ones (4H), I don't like the tempered glass neither the wet application skins.
I have the SGP Ultra Nano Clear and it's good sp but scratched easily. I had the Ultra Crystal, it was better but the fit wasn't right (too big, caused the edges to peel). I think they fixed its size already, not sure.
My ideal sp would be the curved and clear with 4H hardness and fingers print resist at a price of less than $15 (for 2 ps). I found one from korea - SkinPlayer 3D, but it's more expensive than $15 and can't be found outside korea. there's a topic about it -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856079
I think i'll go with the Ultra Crystal again. unless somebody will recommend a cheaper sp with the same or better quality.

sounds like you're describing the one I posted above in terms of look, hardness, price, etc. but now it's just a question of whether it'll peel on the sides or not...

any other suggestions?
I'm really ITCHING to get rid of this Spigen glas thing...I was ready to order the Nano Optics but the reviews are so mixed for those online I don't want to waste my time and money anymore.
why do local stores only carry Zagg?! ahhhh

Go with the just like glass protector by dba. I just put it on and it feels exactly like the glass.

Do you have a picture of how it looks on as far as coverage goes?

I don't but check out the just like glass thread there might be some pics there. The one I have is a test cut one tho

I did and that's why I asked. I saw talk of different cuts and test versions. I wasn't sure how to order or to make sure I was getting the "better" version...

Currently I'm using ultra nano, pretty good, the only complain could be visibility under the sun.
Any experiences with realook 3d?

i appreciate your enthusiasm, but there's a few things that concern me. Spigen makes the glas, and both of them have had horrible sensitivity. second, the curvel crystal makes it sound like it goes to the edges of the phone...and that was my problem with the Zagg Shield HD...the cases were lifting the edges badly.
is either of these things happening to you? do you have a picture of how it looks on the phone?

And I appreciate your skepticism but yes it does go around the curved edges and I have a tpu case on mine and its been on a few days and I don't have any issues with it.

I have the spigen curved one also, no issues at all with sensitivity, not sure where you heard that? It feels really good, like no layer at all. I can't tell you whether it will lift up or not with a case, my case is 2 pieces so it never pushes against the edges..
