Just curious how many people on XDA that have the Captivate and actually use one. (If you do, post the name and what you think)
The Gorilla Glass seems pretty tough to scratch. Anyone have any scratches?
got three of them on ebay for $1.60. I like them... Some day when I take it off to sell it my screen will be PERECT, not "only a few small scratches" and bump the selling price up a few bucks.
its gorilla glass you're wasting your 1.60! doesnt scratch.
$1.60 is a small price to pay just for that little bit of extra insurance... And it is possible to scratch gorilla glass - I did it to my bricked captivate. Thats what happens when you absent mindedly slip your phone into the same pocket your keys are in

But why would you sell the Captivate! Never! It's amazing, .
So do you even realize you have a screen protector on? Smooth?

this is the stupidest post ive seen all day. it CAN scratch. you have been sold on a product that works really well to prevent scratches better than most.. but still its not perfect, i have slipped my captivate out of one pocket and into another that had a penny in it and it made one small but long scratch.
a screen protector would have easily prevented this from happening....
I just received 3 screen protectors for $1.57 from ebay today. Just put it on and it's barely noticeable other than a haze while the screen is off.
I got them because I'm afraid scratching my screen. (My screen already has several micro scratches that are only noticeable when light shines on it at odd angles.)
I got the matte body cover from phantomskinz, including a screen protector. I can't tell it's there, and it's really smooth (compared to invisibleSHIELD)
Plus the matte body looks really snazzy
Nice thanks for the info peeps!
I was looking into getting a case through casemate...
http://www.otterbox.com/Samsung-Cap...color=20&start=2&cgid=samsung-captivate-cases
And it turns out they give you a screen protector.
I use the ones available at the att stores. I am VERY picky when it comes to these things, this one is crystal clear, and difficult to tell its on there..
After a little practice ( I went through one package just practicing) I am now easily able to get it on without a single bubble or hair in the first try. Best $10 I've spent on a phone accessory.

Right! and the GPS works flawlessly too.. it actually scratches easier than I thought it would. Protectors are a wise investment imo.
it maybe be scratch resistant but not scratch proof. IMO its foolish to take any unnecessary risks damaging your screen.
Im using SGP Steinheil Anti-Fingerprint screen protectors... installs real easy and durable..

You are right ANYTHING can be scratched. See here http://www.amfed.org/t_mohs.htm notice quartz (found in sand regularly found in a pocket) and glass are right at the same level....
I have tried SOOO many screen protectors over the years. From the cheepies you buy at the ATT store, to the really expensive full phone wraps. I HATE screen protectors like zagg, ghost armor, etc. Yes they cover your phone, but your phone is going to be ugly, and a pain to use. They are sticky, discolored, and textured... all bad things if you are trying not to notice your protector.
The best thing I have found is REALOOK. They are crystal clear, thin, and hard. It feels like glass, and looks like glass. They are $10 for 2 of them, and I have not even had to use my second skin. I put one on my GFs phone at night and she didnt even know for a week she had a screen protector, until I told her. I also heard the SteinHeil screenies are about the same quality, just more expensive.
I actually use a Zagg screen protector, I know a lot of people hate the orange peel look but I don't mind it, it's very smooth under my fingers.
I'm in the boat too where I just keep it on there just in case, and as a matter of fact, it fell in my car the other day, and hit the underside of one of my seats, put a pretty good gouge in my screen protector, i know it would have scratched it if I hadn't had something on.
all of us cappy owners know that it has gorilla glass, but better safe than sorry. I would rather know I have a 100% free of scratches original screen than some small little scuffs on it without one..
i put on a steinheil ultra crystal clear screen protector.. depending on installation (no air bubbles) you hardly even notice it is there unless you look closely at the edges..
matte screen protectors i truly loathe, because it distorts the image and makes it blurry on our superamoled screens.. absolute garbage..
I've found the screen protect that comes with all Outterbox cases to be very nice. I think it was the easiest to install. Also I've used Reallook on my wifes Cappy. It feel the same as the Outterbox but you really need to clean the crap out of the glass for it to work well. It's not as forgiving to get the bubbles smoothed out as the Outterbox one...
In any case make sure to use a good glass cleaner before installing one.

Agreed. It most certainly can be scratched. I have a scratch on mine. Barely noticeable, only at certain angles and in the light is that noticeable. My phone is still naked but I do plan on getting a case from Otterbox when I can.
Hello,
Do you recommend Belkin Anti-Glare Screen protector for SGS2? (if you have used it) If not, which screen protector do you recommend? The most important thing for me: It nearly shouldn't have any affect on touch screen sensitivity.
Thanks.
You see im in the camp of whats the point of a screen protector, adding another layer to screen. I just use a cheap clam flip case to keep the screen safe. Only just had S2 but never had a screen protector on my sgs for over year and never got a mark on it

I'm using a basic silicon case. Flip cases are protecting well but having a flap hanging around while using the phone is a little bit annoying for me. I want to use it because, Gorilla Glass screen is just scratch resistant, not scratch-proof. There are many people reporting scratches after just daily use. Also Anti-Glare films making the screen easier to slide, especially in games like Fruit Ninja

OK, I will be glad if you let me know about it. It looks fine. But I couldn't find any local online shop selling Estoc protectors. So, i think I'm going to buy this one tomorrow:

http://www.belkin.com/uk/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=604828
I will write about it.
I have tried the SGP ultra oleophobic, and this worked well for 2 weeks, but after that it would start to attract oil, ... the opposite of what it was supposed to do, the plus side is that it doesn't have tint and the screen looks good. I am now going to try the Halo screen protector. Let us know how you screen protector turns out.
I really like the one that comes with the otterbox for the S2.
it's easy to put on and fits perfectly!
hope this helps
Definitely Zagg invisibleSHIELD.
I couldn't find them locally either. GMarket was the only place I could find them online, I split the cost of shipping with a few other people from XDA.

You get 2,unlike zagg.
It also is much smoother, no orange peel & is not tacky unlike zagg products.
But zagg is still a very good product in my opinion.

zagg is a good brand/product ... but the invisible shield, like chrisjcks said, is not smooth which affect the touch response cause of that tacky feel of it
Received the 3M Estoc screen protector today. It's quite solid, and enables you to 'buff out' minor scratches & dings on the protector. This is due to a coating on the protector itself that obviously wears away over a period of time. It comes with a 49873 page encyclopedia with instructions on how to fit (due to having instructions in 192 different languages). The package contains the protector itself, a microfibre cleaning cloth, a cardboard thingy to smooth out the bubbles when you fit the protector and a few dust removal stickers.
Fitting was no more difficult or different to any other screen protector, just a case of making sure the screen is perfectly clean/free of dust, then slowly/carefully applying it to the screen & smoothing out the bubbles as you go.
This is a good protector if you're using a bumper case & don't have your screen covered, it will easily handle being in a pocket with other items & should protect the screen quite well. It will probably last at least a couple of months (maybe more, depending on how rough you are with your phone) if you use your phone like this. As I use a flip case, it will probably be good for much longer than this, as the face of the phone won't be exposed to the lining of pockets, keys, loose change, etc, etc.
Now to the question of value. Is it worth the ~$25 or so ? Compared to the $15 protector I had on my phone previously, and given I use a flip case which protects the screen anyways, probably not. I doubt I'll be spending another $25 on one of these when it comes time to get a new screen protector.
But if you're someone who uses bumper cases/etc & likes having a 'nudie' screen, I'd definitely recommend these. Obviously if you only order one from GMarket the shipping will make it a fairly expensive exercise, but you could always order more than one/some other stuff from that site, or find someone on XDA to go dutch on the postage who lives in your country like I did (thanks to Victaaaa for same )
The Zagg invisibleSHIELD is the best in my opinion, uses a fluid that facilitates the placement may be withdrawn and placed if things do not go well the first time, this has the orange peel effect but this in no way affects the image or touch . I used it in the first SGS for 1 year and now I'm using it in SGSll about 8 months.
i recommend sgp ultra crystal too...i am using for 5 months and i have no problem at all...fully satisfied.
Thanks for all recommendations. I couldn't have any time to buy one yet; but I hope I'm going to buy this weekend from a store near here. I'm going to buy Belkin, if I can't find it I will prefer SGP or Zagg.

SGP
I use SGP Ultra Crystal and so far so good.
Zagg is probably the worse of all of them because of its tacky-ness. Also its scratch healing properties wear off after a month or so. The best is the 3M Estoc+ followed by SGP or RG Japan.
sgp ultra, solid choice in my opinion.. can't go wrong
I recommend SGP ultra crystal film or 3M estoc
would like to recomend this screen protector to anyone. It is well worth the money even though it is a water base protector, it feels like glass.i already wasted to much money on useless screen protector with my GS3 cause i thought Zagg was overprice (and still do) .
i bought the Xtreme guard = crap, skinomi = it was alright didnt like the rubbery feel and went with film screen protector.
I bought the Tech armor HD which i think it looks amazing but does not cover the entire screen and it would get scratch easily. i used 5 film in 2 weeks. After doing my research i heard of the HD version of invisibleshield and that it feel like glass.
It is amazing and it doesn't affect the image quality of the screen, the only problem would be if you are willing to pay the high price ($25) for it.
the RETAIL price for HD is $19.99 and $14.99 for the orange peal (but can hold a car) version if you buy from them directly.
also every few months they have 50% off or buy one/get one free sales..
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
im thinking about getting protection for the back also then i dont have to worry about scratches.. if you have the full body protection the only thing you need to worry about is the bezel and corners...... which is actually a big deal
but im going to try to not have a cover with this phone and see how long it lasts... with insurance through bestbuy i think i will be fine
Is this screen protector attached with the wet method? Also do you see an orange peel effect?
No orange peel.. It's like a normal screen protector.. Only in hd.. I'm serious lol its beautiful.. Non orange peel no funny texture almost can't even tell it's there..and yes you put it on with the "very wet"method.

After trying the Tech armor HD dry application (film) will never again use dry skin. First, it does not last. i went with 5 screen protector in 2 weeks. I love wet application but hate the rubbery fill. I hate regular zagg, bestskinever, skinomi, xtremeguard and other wet protector. This zagg invisibleshield HD is different.
The surface is smooth glass, so it feels like a dry application protector but has the durability of a wet one. no orange pill or rainbow effect like i was getting with the xtreme guard. $20 might seen to much for a screen protector but, trying different one i already spend much more than that. $20 and lifetime warranty for having the best screen protector, if i knew how good it was i would have bought it from the get go.
If you want scratches all over your screen protector then dont get this. Has happened on multiple replacements and with NO heavy use. This has been discussed before.
Save your money. Get a dry application screen protector. SGP
Zagg Protectors suck. There are many wet protectors that are cheaper and better than Zagg protectors. I only use Best Skin Ever as my protectors of choice. They are cheap and last the entire life of the product. For example, the screen only protector is 8.99 and the full body is 11.99 I believe.
To those that say dry protectors are better than wet, i'm sorry but that is absolutely not the case. I rotate between both types on different products and wet is definitely better all the way around. It takes a bit of work to apply, but once it's on, it's self healing and if done in a stemmed bathroom, it's impossible to get any lint or dust underneath the protector during the application process.
Dry protectors do scratch and are not self-healing. If applied right, a wet protector is visibly non-existent on your product.

Nope, the Zagg HD Dry is what T-Mobile was selling when the S3 came out launch day. Unfortunately, that was the screen protector I had to go with at the time because there were no other screen protectors out on launch day. That was a horrible mistake. That thing has a horrible texture and it was picking up lint and dust right after I applied it. I took it off literally 4 hours after I applied it. Read the reviews on a google search on Best Skin Ever, they are cheap and the quality is well worth the price. The company even prides themselves on offering low-cost, high quality skins and they are not lying...its an excellent product.

You are absolutely right, I will never buy a Zagg product again. Their original skin was OK, but even then I didnt really care for them. This new HD material is garbage though.
Try a BSE man...I guarantee you won't be disappointed. I used it on my iPad 3, Kindle Fire, and even my laptop. I eventually went to a dry protector for my iPad 3 because my case was lifting the BSE.
Hey everyone, I couldn't figure out whether this should be in QnA or Accessories, but I figured it should be here.
Anyway, is there any known brands that do screen protectors, but at a reasonable price.
I know about ZiggZagg etc, but spending £15 on a screen protector to me is ludacrus, they come off/start peeling after not so long, so I couldn't imagine paying that for 1!.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated !!!
Umm... the One X has gorilla glass? You don't need a screen cover. That's like trying to wear a sock over your shoe to protect it from the ground....

I came across skinomi screen protector wich look pretty great and covers almost the entire screen...it cost around 12$ (i dunno what's your budget but i think its pretty cheap..) here's a video about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otwcex1_uJg

Hense I want a screen protector.
CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND ONE ?!?!?!
I would stay clear of SGP ultra oleophobic...
Its nearly impossible to install correctly, picks up dirt quite easily and the rainbow effect is all over the place...
The only things i like it that it doesn't go round the edges so it wont peel off and the feel of the protector is almost identical to the HOX glass...
For the price i paid not very satisfied since i ruined the 1st one upon installation!
Best Skins Ever .

You can either get full body or screen only protection.
Cheapest price, BEST quality, the touch and feel is amazing.
I bought these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/6x-Clear-LC...901133?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4abb2d7fcd
unless u spend good money i find that most screen protectors are about the same. when i get them ill see how they stand up
I feel exactly the same as you. I've been looking for a decent screen protector since I got my One X. Unfortunately I can't advise you on any good ones as I haven't found one yet, but I can tell you don't bother with the official HTC one. I paid something like £8 (if I remember rightly) thinking it's the official one so it should be good but it didn't even fit the phone due to the curved edges. The edges were raise all around it which looked awful.
I'd be interested if anyone does recommend a decent one for a reasonable price.
And for the record, gorilla glass does scratch. It's not things like sharp objects that are the problem but minute grains of dust and sand rubbing against it. It scratches very easily under certain circumstances, such as in a gritty pocket or a pocket with sand in it.
well ijust recieved the ones from ebay... its clear but the protector doesnt cover the edges and ends like .2 in from the bottom
Well, the best that I have use so far is Skinomi. Have gone through all others and end up going back to Skinomi as it is the only which cover from edge to edge. The one who don't tend to collect dust on the side and it just annoying

Capdase makes pretty good screen protectors. Only thing you should be protecting your phone against is sand.
Thanks for all suggestions !
By the looks of it Skinomi looks best for me.
How is the install process, easy?
Does it catch dust or is it a clean install if that makes sense?

Bestskinsever are the best skins ever, super cheap, great support, i can recomend them enough
Hi,
i use bestskinever and i am very happy with it. The skin goes frome edge to edge and is very easy to install. I also compared it with de XO Skin which is much more expensive and coud not see andy diference.
Decided to stick with my 6 for £2 protectors
I Bought Gorillagard from Amazon for £5.99. It does not cover the whole screen but slightly wider than the ones just cover the center off the screen. The good thing about this screen protector is that if it gets dirty all you have to do is peel it off, wash it with water and stick it back on. It uses static to stick to the screen. The edges are a problem though but i ain't too fussed about it.
I just bought an LG G3 smartphone (going for Android) and just like in my previous phone iPhone 5 i used the Spigen Screen protector I bought from Amazon, but now with LG G3 i'm looking for a different brand, any idea if what is the best screen protector for the LG G3? I found this and bought with easy installation dubbed smart film, so far so good love it!
MOD EDIT: Link removed. Affiliate links are not permitted
But I'm looking for other alternatives for a screen protector, my wife is planning to buy one also, any suggestions?
Here are my qualifications
Should be easy to install (no water spray installation please)
will not turn yellow
bubble free
and of course it cost less

Why not stick with Spigen?
Bubbles only occur if there is dust or particle underneath. I've installed multiple screen protectors flawlessly. If there are bubbles caused by particles, I just use scotch tape and remove it.
Yellowing is very rare. Most standard screen protectors don't use water. It uses static to cling to screen. Only those "shield" require water and even those aren't smooth or clear.
It seems people are into tempered glass now. I just ordered 2 (one for me and the other for wife). I won't get my phone until Saturday. So I'll have the tempered glass and case before I'll have phone.
i am using momax glass sp...very good as it prevent lot of finger prints and smudges

Seems like a good deal for $8.95.

I got the Skinomi glass protector:

I had one for my G2 as well. I didn't notice the iCare one; it seems to be half the price, and seem identical from what I can see. You can't even tell it is on, it never scratches (I problem with the plastic films, you eventually get nicks, etc). I had no problems with knock on/off or sensitivity (it has the appropriate cutouts - earlier versions of the G2 one didn't and that caused problems, IIRC). Great investment, you'll likely never need another protector (I had to replace my Spigens every few months on other phones).
For the price difference between the Skinomi and iCare: not sure why. I know if the Skinomi comes with a an alcohol swab and microfiber cloth as well as a large screen-sized sticker for pulling off any dust right before you put on the glass. Not sure if the iCare comes with those, but they were handy. Not sure if they were $6 handy...
I never had an issue with regular screen protectors. I put them on my phones and they last for the 2 years+ until I get a new phone.
Most I paid for the flimsy screen protectors is probably $15 for a 2 pack from reputable brands. This is my first time buying a tempered glass. This may make me buy tempered glass for all my phones in the future.
I bought that same ICarez one a few day ago and to be honest Im happy with my purchase. Its a good fit, no too thick and doesnt effect the screen sensitivity too much. As for fingerprints its the same as the actual screen glass ie fingerprints do get on it but wipe off very easily.

Maybe it's cliche but I got the Zagg HD put on mine and it's spot on. The fact that it self-heals is a big help. I also kinda like the slight grip.
I have the Spigen tempered glass on mines. Flawless! I got lucky and lined it perfectly on the first try. It also doesn't bubble up with any case on. The only con is that it's quite expensive, but it performs as advertised so I'm satisfied with it.

yes I guess I have to switch to tempered glass protectors than the usual plastic protectors
I switched from Spigen (plastic) to an iCarez tempered glass. Very, very happy with the results. I had issues with fingerprints with the Spigen, and the tempered glass just feels better.

you got the regular icarez? .33mm? mind putting a picture? thanks
Yes I got the .33 mm Icarez and I tried taking pictures but you really cant see anything in them. Its just basically a glass over it nothing really to see but il post what I can
I ended up buying the tempered glass from the Verizon store (didn't wanna change my phone while I waited for one).
Plays well with my otter box after removing built in screen pro, and my ballistic. Can't even tell it's there. .
Not to mention I seen someone drop a 15lb weight on their phone, and just the tempered broke. Your results may vary, just passing it along.
