Seem like a good idea? the OB screen protector seems to fit snugly, but I was thinking I should remove that and just have the Zagg InvisibleShield coming through, I do like the texture of that anyway...
Update, just removed OB's preinstalled screen protector, and it feels great.

I did the same with my Trident Cyclops and got to say its better this way. Zagg shield with Cyclops case = great protection
I've never liked the zagg's, they feel so sticky. I like the smoother covers that feel like they aren't there.

+1, feels like someone sneezed, blew their nose, and then smeared it all over the Zagg covers!
Didn't like OB screen protector, think I used it for a minute. Wanna try the invisible shield. Is Zagg the ones sold at mall kiosks? Do they install for you? Can never seem to get all bubbles out.. Or just don't have the patience heh.
With a harder plastic sheet style protector as opposed to the zagg /bodyguardz style soft film its a lot easier to get it perfect

The EVO is built with gorilla glass. I modified my otterbox and other cases and removed my zagg over a year ago, and not one scratch. The screen is tough, try it out. You can remove the zagg and place in wax paper to send off for replacement later if you change your mind.

Your combo
seems like a good idea... although it is rather expensive nothing will happen to your phone
I have had the OB's built in screen on the the whole time that i have had my EVO. Zero Complaints!

I have a 10% off code for clarivue if anyone is interested. I think this code last until DEC 2010. It's not much but hey it's still something. Enjoy!
Code: "clear123"
BTW their ultra clear screen protectors are amazing. I had the zagg on mine and I hated the rubbery texture, the clarivue feels like the captivate screen itself with no loss in clarity/sensitivity and more durable than cheap ebay ones.
Thanks for sharing every bit of saved money helps. I was wondering how thick are they? I know the zagg I have now is pretty thick and I used to have one on my Nokia n95 along time ago that was pretty thick I just liked the feel of it and wondered if maybe these were like that.

Nope. These are not thick. They are very thin and practically invisible when it's on the phone. The thing about zagg is that the orange peel turn some people off and the swipe is not as smooth as other screen protectors. The cut out is a bit small ( some are oversize which cause the protectors to peel off ) . If you're looking for something w/ a rubbery feel like the zagg you can try "clear protector" they're about the same.
Quick questions for those with the Defender. Did you guys remove the protective film that comes with it and use your own screen protector? I have one coming in a few days and I already have the Zagg screen protector on it, even though it starting to just get dirty all the time. I read a lot of people have to use baby powder/talcum powder on the built in protector to get rid of bubbles. Any help is greatly appreciated.
the built in protector doesnt have bubbles. it isnt sticky it just says on the otter box... no adhesive to phone side at all... its atually quite nice and makes the screen look more matte than glossy which i prefer

I hate all the built in protectors, I always rip them off. Zagg isn't the best wet imho, but it is better than the built in protector.

Thought no one else would chime in, thanks for the response.
I bought a zagg and a tpu case to hold me over until I could get my hands on a defender. Now I've.been using zaggs for quite sometime now they are soso. This is my first otterbox defender and i love the built in one better than my zagg...I hate the feel of zagg after its been on there awhile.

i've got the zagg screen protector under my ballistic case. You can tell it doesn't quite look right, but i can't afford another phone so i'll take knowing its protected. I have a friend that has the otterbox defender and he's doing exactly what you're asking about it. His phone works great.

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.

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.

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.

Hey everyone!
One of the cases that I'm considering for my GS3 is the Otter Box Defender. I know that it has a built in screen protector, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the quality of the built in screen protector is like? ie, clear, glossy, matte, scratch and fingerprint resistant, absolute crap, etc...? Does anyone have the Defender and use a different screen protector with it? The more information, the better. Thanks!
The feel of it as they have always been more like a clear glossier plastic. Its not Matte or smudge proof thats for sure. Is it the best screen protector out? Most certainly not, but its not really meant to be removed but doesnt mean you can rip it off cause i have done so with other phones I had. Mostly because I have always been a big supporter and user of the ZAGG Protectors which in my opinion are the best in terms of quality and build. But you really dont want to have a screen protector on and then use the otterbox with the added screen protector. Two to me is too many and can cause some interference with touch controls. I know there is prolly a million people on here that will say otherwise and they have done it without issues just my honest opinion when i had one on phone then used otterbox case with attached protector as well I hated it. The touch for me was way off. But if you dont end up liking it just get you a good screen protector and then when you buy the defender just pop off the one that comes with it. No worries.
I just got the Defender last week for GS3 and Love it! Its an amazing case and love the holster. I always end up buying one of these cases for my phones cause they just LAST.
Cheers!:highfive:
Case is good but the screen protector makes everything pixilated. Really hard to get past for me. So I tore out the screen protector and had a zagg hd put on. Works out well.

It, sux it makes the screen look grainy, i sold it and got the commuter instead, i just bought the defender because the screen protector, and since it sux i rather have the bit slimmer commuter.
I love the commuter btw.
I took the screen protector out also. Don't let that be what steers you away from the defender. The case is awesome, the product support is awesome. I keep thinking about getting a stick on protector but haven't yet. I use the holster so the screen is protected by that most of the time. I have scratched and scuffed the outer rubber of the case however. I emailed otter support asking if I could buy replacement outers in the future and explained that I scratched the case... No defect of the product. They asked for pictures and the next thing I know I have an invoice in my email... They are sending me a whole new replacement! You can't beat that service.
Got the Black Defender and the screen protector is utter crap. Invested in a ZAGG HD and never looked back.
The quality of the built-in screen on the Defender made everything look so blurry and pixelated.

Disagree - it's not good protection, in fact is bad for it.
Buddy of mine had a defender for his phone before. Over time dust, grit and what have you worked it's way in between the otter screen guard and the screen itself. Then everytime you touch it has the same effect as rubbing sandpaper on your screen. His got murdered from it.
You need a screen protector that adheres to the screen itself to prevent fine grains of dust, dirt, sand or what have you from turning it into a piece of sandpaper every time you touch it.
After seeing the destruction wrought on his screen, was in the defender from day one, and now owning a defender myself, I fully understand why the most common mod to the case is to take an Xacto knife and cut the screen guard out.
Do that and use a quality shield on the screen, you will be very happy you did.
^ I usually take my case off every other week to clean it, and I was surprised to see that barly any dust got in at all, the only places I saw was around the top where the little hole is at and around the camera/flash /speaker área , maybe his case was defective? Over all I'm impressed to see how clean my phone is every time I take off the case.

Is there any company out there that makes screen protectors like SPG? Currently I have the Verizon screen protector with the diztronic tpu case and it's already peeling. I know Skinomi makes one but it's a wet application and I really don't like the feel of it. I know Skinomi has a sticky feeling to it like Zagg when you glide your finger on the screen. I have searched across the Web. Seems like no love for the Maxx.
Sent from my XT1080 using xda app-developers app
No, Skinomi is the best protector. Zagg is a piece of crap! I have used multiple Skinomi protectors (never the whole body ones) and loved all of them. I have the Skinomi on my MAXX right now and my fingers glide like on polished glass. You have to be in a dust-free environment and have an assistant help spray your fingers with the applicator. There is a science to doing it right. Also the lifetime warranty is awesome.

Well I also got a screen protector for Droid ultra a month ago...this time I just tried to go for something different rather than following the same zagg and skinomi products...I purchased an Amzer universal screen protector...it was a bit costly but it is such a fine on the phone that it makes my cell phone screen safe and sound for lifetime... I have also purchased another one for my N7(2013) too...
Thanks...

SON OF A B... I feel like I am being punished for upgrading early or something! I have the anti glare screen protectors. The girl at the store did a GREAT job of putting them on. She even used scotch tape and everything to eliminate dust. Well...I'm on day 6 of use, and now my protector is peeling off. Why are so many things going wrong with my purchase! I'll call it bad luck and have her put a different one on and hopefully week 2 of my trial will go better and the notification volume issue will be resolved.
Wow those are pretty cool!

I agree with skinomi being on top, still have a skinomi on my original droid razr maxx for almost 2 years and you cant barely tell its on there.
I bought a skinomi and I think it sucks. When I think screen protector I think of something hard that can not be scratched. These "tech skins" are some kind of soft gel. I actually gouged it with my fingernail while swiping.
I use the xtremeguard. Feels rubbery and not as durable as I expected. I scratched it intentionally using my fingernails and it failed me.
Sent from my XT1080 using xda app-developers app
using skinomi.. it is a soft type material but protects well.. and the items it comes with just makes it easy to install. if you gauge it with any small scratches or even your fingernail.. dont worry about it, it heals itself back.
Here's a follow up on the verizon anti glare 3 pack. I'm still on my first one. It's got quite a few tiny marks but not visible when display is on.
Once in a while my defender or Trident cyclops cases will make the edge bubble ever so slightly but no dust has accumulated and upon removal of cases with built in screen protectors it goes away.

So has anyone found any glass screen protectors for the Droid Maxx? Phone's been out for a while and I still can't find any sellers..
nitro glass doesn't make one yet... im South New Jersey..and our mall has a kiosk called ClearCoat... pretty sick screen protector...
Another +1 for Skinomi. I am currently using it. Application was a cinch. And they have an application video to aid. It is applied and I put a Otter box on top. Feels and looks great. Not as stick or gelly as I expected. Perfect.
Friend still insists best buy sold tempered glass screen last year. Still searching.

Long story short, my mother just got this phone a few days ago and I know the amount of abuse she inflicts on her phones. She normally just throws it into her purse with all the other stuff. I'm trying to find a protector that can handle whatever may hit the screen. I've used Skinomi and like them but I've used a tempered glass protector and I like those a lot more. Do any of you have a recommendation for what type to get?
P.S. I already have found her a case, so the body of the phone should be safe.

I haven't seen any of those for the Ultra series yet. I have a Skinomi, and have had it on the phone for 5 months now - it's just fine. Occasionally the case will start to peel the edge a bit but it's always easy to get it to adhere back down. In fact, I haven't seen that happen in weeks.
So yesterday I removed my anti glare screen protector (verizon 3 pack) because it was due for a change. The screen was so hard to see, very shiny and reflective, but it did look slightly clearer.
But I became weary and installed another one. Lol.
Anyone have clear full body armor?
