The only screen protector

Hey guys thought id share. If you're like me the only reason you use a screen protector is cuz you hate fingerprints. My favorite 2 are the 3m natural view and Steinheil anti fingerprint. Now the 3m one has amazing clarity but still smudges a little. But it's super easy to wipe off. It's kinda prone to scratches. Now if you don't mind losing just a little clarity and not having to worry about scratches or ever, and I mean never ever, having to wipe off fingerprints then Steinheil is the way to go.

I love this one I used this till I found the 3m one then went back to it. Was about 10-15 I think. I forget but I found it on Amazon great buy if you ask me. Just a warning you do lose a little of that captivate clarity so if you're OK with that then this is perfect if not then I say go 3m and if you don't mind wiping a lot then leave it naked cuz nothing is hurting this glass

After trying the Realook and being unsatisfied with the rainbow effect, I tried the SGP Anti fingerprint. IMO the loss in clarity is too much. There are tiny colour speckles everywhere!

sure is a toss up, clearity or smudges, i guess in a way either way its a clarity issue. hmm i think i may look for a stenhil tho. ebay is good for small crap like that real cheap.
you really need the silver speaker mod tho.

Why would u want to cover such a beautiful display?
Use it Dude

I really hate smudges

I had the Steinheil Crystal clear screen protectors before and it was impossible to get the corners and edges to stick no matter how much squeegeeing I did. They weren't cheap either. Currently have AT&T ones and I like them, although there is some rainbowing.

never been a big fan of screen protectors but this may change my mind. thanks!

I've had 3 Captivates now and all have run the simple protectors you can buy at AT&T stores.
They're easily installed and if the screen is cleaned 100% before installation, they are completely transparent - I don't know why anti-smudge is a 'feature', as you don't see the smudges when the screen is ON and if you see 'em when the phone is asleep, wipe 'em off.... Plus, I've never been a fan of the protectors that need to be squeegeed on. I've seen the videos where people are wetting down their screens and that crap just scares me doing it with electronics.
My $.02.

So going to bring back this thread...
I had a Reallook screen protector and well, so called anti-fingerprint >.>
What should I buy for my next screen protector? The SGP anti-fingerprint which I heard is real anti-fingerprint, or the ultra crystal clear for $2 more?

skinomi > all
very good clarity, self heals all the bubbles and **** after 1-2 days of installing, they even have a full body skin you can get for the captivate so nothing gets scratched, good easy grip rubber feel and it comes out of the pocket easy still. smudging is minimal

Tell how is that protector am also thinking to buy it

in my opinion that kind of protectors are necessary for our phones. i've been using for 4 months. and there are just 2 3 small scratches. i can recommend it.

Yeah I haven't found a good screen protector for the phone, but I've been using mine for half a year and it's pretty flawless -- plus, the phones regularly go for $60-$70 bucks.

would putting a screen protector over a semi-scratched screen help hide the scratches at all?

no it wont//

DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT BUY THIS SCREEN GAURD AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!
I bought this thing from flipkart for 199 INR and I must say its a complete waste of money.
I ripped it of my phone, cut it to pieces and then burnt it!
Here's why,
1.after applying the guard, the screen clarity reduces and text is blurred, especially while browsing
2.the cover says that the guard is reusable and washable but it not! Almost half the gum wears off!!
3.top left started to peel off after day one itself! (And I got it applied by a guy who works at a store where they sell and apply these kind of things so I'm sure that its been perfectly applied)
Amzers covers maybe good (I own one and am pretty satisfied ) but their screen guards suck!
So Buy another screen guard but not this one! Take another phones awesome screen guard and cut it to size for the O1 for all I care but just don't buy this one

ScreenGuard + Silicon Jelly case
I ordered the AMZER screenguard from Flipkart few weeks back..
Although in the reviews some of em mentioned that first few days it will be difficult to use touch since its fresh but frankly i liked the screen. Its responsive and dust proof. I use it along with the silicon jelly case and its perfect..

I have these same protectors and they really scratch up fast.

Got from Flipkart yesterday. I was satisfied with the initial appearance of screen. But after I opened the Message app, I was shocked to see the screen look like pixelized crystals. When it was on a white screen, it would look like billions of pixels all showing the colors of the rainbow..........and it was annoying.
This is the only drawback of Matte screen protector.
For all those who are praising this, are you satisfied with browsing and messaging (has lot of white colors displayed that makes rainbow effect) ?

I'm using it. It really sucks on white screen!!!

I ended up buying a large quantity of screen protectors from Amazon at a price of less than $1 for 5, I'm fairly satisfied with them and at the price point it was hard to pass up. I do prefer the matte ones, in spite of the refraction on white screens but won't need to purchase any screen protectors for quite a while.

Matte Screen Protector for Gnex

When I had my S2 I went through a lot of screen protectors, the one that I stuck with was the SGP Steinheil Matte series.
It was the only one that didn't give me a rainbow shimmer effect.
I want a matte screen protector for my Gnex but it seems SGP doesn't make one yet for the Gnex.
I bought a highly rated matte screen protector from Amazon called Sir Lancelot's Armor, and it sucked big time. I kept it for about 15 minutes before ripping it out.
Any hints guys?
I hate swyping with my glossy screen.

I know this is gonna sound goofy but i actually think the screen protecter that comes with the otterbox defender is quite matte, and does a decent job of "reducing the rainbows" If it were. Definitely a case with great build quality and if you don't have asurion (not sure what your carrier does for phone insurance) then it would also be something id recommend (dropped the phone in that case a good 5-10x without the slightest ding, or scratch...I know you weren't looking for cases but most "good" stick on ones have been glossy that I've seen...

I picked up a 3 pack of matte screen protectors off Amazon last week and just installed one last night. It only cost about $2.99 free shipping. They've passed my polarized sun glasses to test.

The Ringke Slim case comes with 2 dry application screen protectors that are Matt and worked with the case very well.. I used it for a while until I got the XO Skin. I switched because I like the clear look better then the matt look.
These might be the screen protectors.

Where did you buy this case?

As i have now tried 3 different screen protectors i can say this:
ZAGG/KINGFISH: both sold by car phone warehouse are no good.
Zagg is a flimsy piece of skin which once fitted is not even smooth. Your finger will not slide on the screen and it makes the view on the screen quite poor as well.
Kingfish is a Matt type screen. Its smooth but also covers the front camera and goes beyond the beveled edge of the phone making it easy to collect dust. Viewing is not very good and i suspect covering the sensors won't do any good either
Positive: Protex
Sold by phones4u and online. Cheap when compared with the above and easy to fit. (I always use droplets of water to fit as it eliminates dirt and little dust fibres to the minimum)
Easy to slide the finger on, does not cover the sensors or cameras.
Rock screen protector: similar to protex, a bit wider and same quality. Highly recommended to the point that i have cancelled the original protectors that Samsung will bring out later in the month.
Overall if you want something that will be good and not disrupt the feel and view, the 2 above ones are ideal. I'm sure there will be other more or less expensive but i won't be testing any new ones.

Are Protex and Rock wet or dry protectors? Do they stretch to the edges of the phone? Or are the edges exposed?

The eyes are slightly exposed about 2mm.
They are not soft protectors and that makes them very good. No glare or other issues. Zagg is a soft one and the most problematic one.
When you say wet or dry i suspect you mean needing to use spray water to apply. Both rock and protex do not need water to apply but using it makes it much easier to apply

Wet application screen protectors
I originally got a dry application screen protector (the ones with the sticky stuff) as an interim measure. After a few days it did start peeling up slightly on the edges as the screen is curved on the edges. I then ordered an XtremeGuard protector (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/23080181...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_3744wt_1396) which is a wet application one. It has been sooooo good. Since it is wet application it is alot more flexible and can hence handle the curved edges. Also the XtremeGuard protectors don't suffer from the 'lemon-peel' effect of other wet application screen protectors.
Not saying anything bad against other screen protectors, more just sharing my experience with some screen protectors.

I swear by ZAGG. If you watch the demo video then it should sell you too. Yes its a little more expensive than the 3 dollar scotch tape cover you can get at the grocery store, but you spent a lot of money on the phone with its sharp screen, I figure its worth it. I had the ZAGG cover on my Thunderbolt and it worked great. I liked it so much I have one on my GS3.

DBA Cases sells a screen protector called "Just Like Glass". I just bought one for me and my mom. I must say the feel is great, almost "like glass" and the screen doesn't diminish in quality one bit. It is a wet application. The sides on mine don't want to stick down all the way. The instructions said this would happen and after a few days it will stick. I've only had it applied a couple days so I'm still crossing my fingers. They are only $13.50. I would definitely recommend one. http://www.dbacases.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-screen-protectors.aspx

I highly suggest glasszone. No proximity problems, no response problems. 9H hardness, I've dropped it twice from waist height on concrete floor and it's not scratched, though I'm not 100% if the initial impact was with ground. The only thing I have against it is the (barely) visible layer of glitter on the edges, or what the manufacturer calls "pearl effect". I barely notice it, and it's only really visible under a few instances. You can find it on ebay

iMuse glass protector could be a good solution:

Do all the tempered glass protectors make the screen look odd, or are some better and more "HD" than others? I read the thread about the xgear one and it sounds like it distorts the screen.

Yes it definitely disturbs. That's why the sticker type protector is somehow a better choice, but if you have a sturdy case protector to begin with you don't need a screen protector, that gorilla glass will serve it purposes.

I don't like the Zagg ones, its very clear when you're using them that you have a screen protector on. I have the DBA Just Like Glass mentioned above. I like it for the most part. The screen protector has gotten very scratched up but the screen is safe and sound. Worst bit about it is that the edges dont look properly adhered. They havent peeled up for me but they look like they arent stuck on as well as the rest of the protector
