Does anyone know if the ZAGG invisibleSHIELD is available yet? I haven't been able to find it anywhere.
Is anyone else waiting for it to come out (or already have one)? I haven't used them before, but I thought I should (especially since I just paid $700+ for this phone ).
No but I bought a skinomi and they have a similar product with a great warranty.
They are actually available from Car Phone Warehouse from today.... But its only the front piece not the whole device!!!

Yeah, I'm more worried about the back of the device (since I'm not sure how durable the plastic is).
Don't that s2 on the product page look different looks very square I just ordered one I think that was a old pic of the s2 before it was released leaked photoshop pics

I will follow to see how it go's , i think the backside is too rough, for it too stick.
I ordered skinomi (full body) clear back, from Amazon. It said "in stock" and to expect delivery between May 12-14.
On another note I ordered EZguardz screen protectors from Amazon. 5 for $2.00 with free shipping. They came in yesterday in a regular envelope from USPS. They look to be the same "urethane" material as zagg, bodyguardz, skinomi, etc. Instructions give two installation techniques, one with water and the other dry.
I cant wait for the bodyguardz version. The full body kit comes with 2 sets of backs and fronts. Best bang for the dollar and they are high quality.
Let's hope the skin has the correct dimensions.

I went away this weekend and my phone felt naked without a case and screen protector. I was so scared I'd damage it. Anyway, before I went away I emailed Zagg to ask if they did a shield for the S2.
While I was away I popped into CPW and they said they did have some Zagg shields, but had sold out.
When I got back I had an email from Zagg saying they didn't yet make a shield for the S2. Most confusing.

mate, would you mind advising me the best one from skinomi (or one you bought and satisfied)
I bought a Case-mate Gelli case from CPW shop yesterday. They also had the Zagg InvisibleShield in stock.
P.S. I have a Zagg InvisibleShield on my iPad, and the surface is a bit orange peely. Is it the same material on smaller devices?
P.P.S The Case-mate case came with a screen protector too, but it was completely wrong (looked like it was for a Galaxy S). The Gelli case is a good fit though.
Zagg just released their invisibleSHIELD. Can`t post the link to their page because of my few messages, go check their page.

Zagg Invisible Shield now available at ebay and their website. the front part, next to microphone seem not well designed, it's been cut like curve shape. Not happy with Zagg design but more better quality protector out there other than Zagg.

maybe you have got a waste.. at least i hope so
As stated in the object, based on your experience which one would you suggest me for this beautiful phone?
Thank you..
Never used Skinomi but zagg is pretty good, used it on my atrix
Never liked zagg, it turns yellow and grungy. I have had them replace it a few times but it sucks that I need to pay shipping on a warranty.
Ive used neither. I have ordered a skinomi in anticipation of getti g my nexus hopefully in the next couple of weeks.

Oh forgot to mention, i usually order a bunch of el cheapos from hong kong. Premium protectors usually do last longer, but if you find some decent cheap ones it can be more economical. I usually get 5 for $4 shipped from hk, and the skinomi i just ordered was $6 for one. Usually 2 or 3 premium ones are $10-$15. Doing the math and usually changing protectors about every 6 weeks id rather buy 10 from hk and that will last the life of the phone.

I've always been a big fan of ZAGG protectors. I have them on most of my devices. They can be a REAL pain to apply, but once you get the hang of it, it's not so bad. I've never had a problem with them. I did screw up an installation once.. was a bit too aggressive with the squeegee, left a bunch of marks, but they were nice enough to ship me a free replacement
This time, I'm trying Skinomi. Mainly because ZAGG now charges a ridiculous shipping fee for Canada ($17 on a 12$ protector!!). Whereas Skinomi ships for free to Canada.
Anyways whichever you decide, here are some lovely coupon codes
skinomi: get25 (25% off)
zagg: youmobile (cant remember but it was 3$ off my order)
I ordered a Zagg. Also have one on my Vibrant and I'm used to it. Very durable and wipes clean since it does collect smudges easily. Replacement warranty is good, too.
If you're in the states, verizon sells a 3pack of pretty decent screen protectors. I picked mine up at a local store.

I was using Zagg Invisibleshield in my last 2 devides (Nokia E61 and currently the Nexus).
However, I bought the LG Nexus 4 yesterday, and I wanted to buy the Hi-Def Insisible Shield (not available yet to Nexus 4).
Because of that, I will try a different protection and buy the Skinomi for a change (front and back cover).

I will never buy anything other than Skinomi protectors anymore. They are really easy to set properly and the protection is great. I've used them on 3 Android phones, all from different manufacturers and they work amazingly.
Never tried Zagg since I started using Skinomi first.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I have an extra skinomi screen protector, with the entire package. I can send it to you for free if you just pay for the shipping.
I don't really like the rubber feel that comes with skinomi/zagg protectors, although it offers probably the maximum amount of protection you can get with screen protectors
I can definitely vouch for skinomi. i've had it for my last two phones, and i don't think id get any other brand. one think that i didn't even realize i appreciated about their protectors after buying an alternate brand is that they make the screen look really nice. they don't take away or interfere with the color at all. very appreciated. got another brand of screen protector when i first got my gn, and its like it put a matte finish on my screen.
i do swear that next time, if i can find someone to put my screen protector on, i will pay them to do it. i am terrible at it apparently. i have tried ALL the tricks. steam.... steam... you name it.
there was a tiny tiny speck of dust that made a little bubble on the screen, and my skinomi was on a bit crooked and it kept creating bubbles in the corners where my case overlapped. it drove me insane, so i just took it off.
i go commando now. screen looks awesome BTW.
I would like to purchase a/some screen protectors.
It should be similar in feel to the glass that is factory.
Now what is the best screen protector?
1-did you use screen protector before?
2-do you prefer matte or clear?
3-do you have the recommended screen protector on your GS3 now?
4-are the edges laying down?
5-does it feel like glass?
6-wet or dry application?
Please help me!

Xtreme Guard is basically a ZAGG Invisible Shield clone. They just don't do the fancy packaging, spray bottle and squeegee. They don't have the over head and costs as ZAGG. They also don't have a lifetime warranty. But for the price, you can purchase 6 - 10 screen protectors for the same price of the ZAGG. You'll go through 2-3 tops and it's a annoying process to get a replacement. They request CC info and all, then expect you to send back the original.
I worked at Best Buy and had them on my phones since the LG Dare days.
Just save the money and get the Xtreme Guard. It offers the same protection.

Without a doubt, Skinomi. One of my favorite companies to deal with as well. Stellar products.
I've used the Flex HD but the orange peel effect is kind of annoying. The adhesive used, as it dries up, turns into a rainbow colored crystal blotches and it just ruins the clarity of the stock screen. They are not readily visible but tilting your phone at certain angles will make them show up. I also used the Zagg Invisible Shield but the adhesive did not work well for me after I put on the Cruzerlite case. The case,due to its tight fit, lifted all the corners of the Zagg off the phone:crying: so now its removed. For $20 from BB, you only get one film. I am waiting for the Steinheil Nano right now. I believe this a dry application and is cut smaller than the screen.

Skinomi Techskin. I've used about 6 of them and I've loved every one. When you put it on it feels like nothing is there at all. It repairs itself too. Plus they have lifetime warranties on them, so you can order a replacement super cheap instead of buying a whole new one.

thanks for your input mustbepbs.
I would like to ask if its sticky or has the orange peel or rainbow effect everyone talks about?
Installed last night and very impressed. Had 3 small patches of spider web, 2 of which have gone on their own and the 3rd is hardly noticeable and I have a feeling this will go too.
There's a slight lift around the edges of the earpiece, I guess that's down to the glass on the phone not being completely flat.
I've had a Spigen tr and a Nillkin, neither of which went on as well as the Anker - although that could be just me having more practice!
Oleophobic coating is also working nicely, a few smears but overall very good indeed.
I'd definitely recommend one especially if you don't want to pay the premium for Spigen.

Just got one of these myself. Its pretty good but my cruzerlite tpu case is not working well with this SP. Might need to get a different case

I wish this was available in Canada =(
Just put mine on yesterday and only ended up with one small bubble in the top left area of the phone and no spider webs (w00t w00t!)
I have it paired with a Spigen Slim Armor and it fits on JUST about right. Not sure if it's putting pressure on the glass screen but it looks like it fits perfectly. We'll see how long it lasts with it.
Texture on the glass screen is amazing. Neither I or my co-workers could feel any type of difference.
bought this and have small spiderweb at bottom.. still happy, very high quality.
hope sw goes away after time.
I agree, wish I could find these in canada. $15 bucks I'm willing to spend, $35 not so much.

I'm wondering when they are selling them again. I'm doubting between Anker or Mime Ghost screen. Which one is better? Anker offers lifetime warranty though!
Not sure, I've not used the Mime yet.. Only this, the Spigen and the Nillkin. The Anker has been the best so far, it's still on my phone and not chipped, which is an improvement!

i got one recently about 2 weeks ago, and for some reason i got a huge bubble spider looking web about half inch on the bottom of my screen and about 2 small spider webs which i didnt mind too much. I contacted them through amazon since supposedly they're bubble "free". This is the reponse i got
"Thanks for the response and sorry for the issue.
Actually we have had this issue reported and we are currently investigating it with our suppliers as it seems to be a batch issue. A replacement as much as I would have liked to make, it's not a viable option.
May I ask a second chance to make things right by issuing a refund? We will further process once we get your consent."
Ever since then the screen protector is not available, i didnt want a refund because i liked the screen protector but that half inch bubble its getting on my nerves. So i went ahead and accepted the refund will be trying Nilkin i guess.
I got this screen protector a couple weeks ago, too, and I have a big bubble at the bottom that hasn't gone away. I just called and they said they have made some manufacturing changes to the protector which should (hopefully) resolve the bubble problems. However, the new batch won't be ready for 1-2 weeks.
I am going to wait for a new one. They will call me when they are ready to be shipped.

I picked up the Spigen case from Amazon. It's built well and fitment is great. It came with the screen protector. Like many others report, it has a lot of issues. Their customer service is a joke regarding the known issue as they request photos and vidoes. Really? All they had to do was read the Amazon reviews to see the first run was faulty.
Either way, the case is solid. Just don't get their screen protectors.
i ended up getting a tpu case for £1.90, its pretty darn good, also a tempered glass screen protector ive put on, im pretty confident its well protected now..

You've probably come across this. Its a little bulkier than I hoped but its growing on me. I love the tempered glass but wish I hadn't been so eager to stick it on--no bubbles, just the tiniest piece of lint inside. Its hardly noticeable, and undetectable unless the screen is lighter background, but those things bother me. Next time I'll use latex gloves to apply it.
I like the glass back to but not crazy about the amazon logo being in full view. What do people think about a nice android logo or cyanogenmod decal?
Also...the headphone cut out doesn't leave room for larger audio jacks. It doesn't affect me but Some peoples car jacks won't connect.
Overall excellent buy for the money.

Thanks for the tip. For $9, it's like buying the tempered glass and getting the case for free. Definitely worth a try with no real downside if it turns out to be too bulky.

It was a great deal. To be honest, only reason its bulkier than I thought was because one of the reviews said it was "less bulky than expected..." But the pic in the ad doesn't really mislead. It'll probably be the same size as you imagine--about a half inch thick.
And take my advice applying the glass. Its super easy but read it through first and keep it as clean as possible.

Thanks for posting this. Is the back of this case glossy like the sides/edges, or is frosted/dull? It looks frosted from the photos, but I'm not a 100% sure. I'm looking for a similar case that's glossy all over.

Back is frosted/dull. Sides are glossy. Nice fit though.
AT&T store case sale
Local AT&T stores seem to be having a fire sale on Fire Phone cases. I picked up a nice Speck case, retail $35 for $5. They had several other cases there too. This has also been mentioned on Slickdeals re the eBay Fire Phone/Amazon Prime deal (the price of the eBay deal seems to change from $139 to $189 depending on the sellers mood).

I got a white case from Speck with the CandyShell design.

They had the Blue and the Pink. They also had a leather case that said 50% off of $35, but when they rung it up it was $5. Leather was nice and small but offered little protection...no raised lip around the display.
There might have been some others...don't remember them all. They were on a clearance rack.

I found the Incipio extended battery case at my local ATT store marked down from 90 to 10. You pretty much just have to go ask and someone will go dig around in the back and find what they have. I also picked up a regular incipio case with the aluminum back, but is kind of warped already and doesn't stay on that well. For 5 bucks, it's not even worth taking back to exchange!
I just bought the Amazon Polyurethane Case for Fire Phone, Blue when I purchased the phone they had them for $10. It works great, doesn't get in the way of the buttons/ports while still protecting the corners, and has a nice texture that isn't too slick but cleans up well. It barely adds anything to the phones dimensions as well.
I bought the Incipio Dual Shine case from an AT&T store for $10 and it has been pretty good. A little heavy, but the brushed metal back looks slick. I've dropped it a few times and it has held up.
