Hi all,
Do you guys have any recommendations for a matte screen protector? I like how it's much easier to see the display when outdoors.
Are there any tradeoffs to using these protectors? Color/clarity distortion? Touch sensitivity loss?
Thanks a bunch,

Give up on that idea. A good matte screen protector does not exist.
Tradeoffs of using one is that it makes the display look HIDEOUS. Smear a whole bunch of oil on the phone until you get a haze effect and then you'll see what a matte protector will do. It's not worth it sadly.
i would imagine matte screen protectors would make ur screen look horrendous too lol
I run a matte anti fingerprint screen protector. Looks good. Makes the screen look a little grainy. Other than that i like it.

What's the brand and can you post a link?

SGP Ultra Fine is by far the best matte screen protector I've used. Minimal distortion.

Although the Thunderbolts screen is supposed to be pretty tough, it is not gorilla glass.

Only down side is they take away the sharpness of the picture. I just run VZW screen covers. I've had this one on since launch day and it still isn't peeling or bubbling.
Um using the seidio protector. Its the only one I have used that hasn't dulled the look. Simple install.

Yea very good. I used the crystal clear one and I'm currently using that anti fingerprint one with the matte finish
Invisashield from zagg. Best screen protector hands down. Had one on my imagio for over a year and put it through all kinds of abuse. Its still on and perfect. Show me another screen cover that you can scratch the **** out of with keys and it won't even phase it. Put one on my TB as soon as I took it out of the box and fully expect it to stay on long past the life of this phone.

I got the crystal clear from steinheil and it is nice. But it has scratches on the protector. Thinking of testing another brand. Something more durable.

How is the matte finish? Does it take away from the image quality of the screen?
Not true my usb charging cable barley touched my screen and scratched it. Sad thing is I'm anal about my phone, tablet, tv, and gaming systems. I take better care of those then I do my girlfriend LOL.

I am also looking to matte finish protector.... will check out the mall today
My crystal Steinheil is amazing. Try that.
I hate my Invisashield with the "orangepeel" texture. It also has a kind of tacky-feel to it.
I bought my girlfriend a sonix (by Lenntex) screen protector 2-pack (clear and anti-glare) for her iPhone and they're great! The finish is really hard and super smooth. It feels just like the naked glass. I'm waiting for my Thunderbolt ones to deliver any day now.
I purchased the protectors from Verizon. They work fairly well I have several scratches in the protector but not the screen. After prolonged usage though I can't clean the protector all the way anymore. Going to have to take it off and put on the second one that came with the kit.
guys. which one would you say is better in not making the screen colour smudge or blur in anyway. Which one is less resistant to scratches

u're joking right?
Zagg is a humongous piece of crap. I got it free when I bought the phone....really...even those 10 screen protectors for £1 are better!
I now have the SGP curved crystal....and IT IS AWESOME!...(as long as you manage to install it properly )

I have the sgp ultra nano and love it. Wish it didn't get as greasy but it's soooo better than the zagg.
Zagg protectors are worse than the $1.00 screen protectors on eBay that come with like 7 protectors. Absolute garbage screen protectors.
I am using the Ultra Nano Clear and it is one of the best screen protectors I have used for any phone.
Try Dynaflo, it is a nano liquid application. There is nothing to apply but a few sprays.
SGP nano is sooo clear compared to the zagg.
Ive never used screen protectors, but im using a zag hd with no complaints.
Why you guys hate on zagg? Whats wrong with them?

Not so with the Zagg HD. I have it on and it feels just like the screen. They really have improved them.

Sounds nice. Prior experiences with them have sucked. I'm torn between this and the full screen dry application screen protectors.

I recommend SGP Ultra Nano - one of the best screen protectors, very thin and clear though hard to apply; Zagg shield turns yellow after a few months
Get the nano, if you have any type of case the tiny edge that is left exposed is a non issue. I will agree that its sorta tough to install really any of these perfect. The nano came with 3 luckily as I jacked up the first one because you cant freakin see the thing on there and it was crooked...but second time was good. So I still have one left over to use once this one gets too banged up.
Recently got the rock case and really like it. Definitely alot better then the incipio scyrillic dual I bought before. But I'm a bit worried about the screen and the top and bottom being unprotected.
Any suggestions? I have been hearing about glass screen protector (saw a video on the xda homepage even) but haven't found any that have good reviews yet. As for the top and bottom I was thinking some kind of shield maybe?
What are my options?
Thanks alot,
Alex

Does not have to be a glass screen protector necessarily just a good screen protector that doesn't change the look and feel of screen too much and won't peel off with the case!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Does it not peel up on the curved edges? And does it cover the entire screen surface? I hate when you can see the protector around it all

I installed the Zagg HD screen protector on my new Note 2 yesterday, and I will tell you it should not have been cleared for use with the Note 2. It is so soft that it feels like it's ribbed from using swype with the S-Pen... and I don't press hard at all. What's worse, it's effecting the accuracy of the S-Pen itself, as I find I need to press harder. I would not recommend this screen protector for use with our amazing device. Really looking like I might have to go naked unless I can find a very S-Pen friendly protector!
PS
Best Buy Mobile offered to exchange the protector for me and install it tomorrow, an offer which I am going to accept and deal with until I find the best alternative.
I have the extreme guard $4 body and screen. Everything works flawless.

I made the mistake of believing the saleslady at Best Buy Mobile that the new Zagg HD was just fine with the S-Pen... first mistake. I have a Rearth screen protector waiting for me at home once I return from this business trip... but ya, I am looking forward to the upcoming Glas protector as well. Any word on it's release date?
I was on the same boat I bought the rubber screen.. shouldve posted a warning but got lazy :/
And I asked sgp and all they said so far was that it was a wip... and blah blahs
The glass protector is the best doe cause it feels as it were naked <3
But ill make a thread when I hear about the protector

I'm using the zagg smudge proof protector from best buy and it is not rubbery, doesn't dent or scratch and is true full screen. So far I'm extremely happy with it. Your fingers slide across the screen better with it than naked also there's no orange peel effect either.
If anyone is interested IMHO this is the best zagg to put on.

I don't see a smudge proof version on the zagg website, do you have a link? Just checked out Best Buy tonight, they didn't have any either.

Yes, I'll find it and post back. It's the best screen protector I've used, and I normally don't like zagg for the orange peel and rubbery feeling.

I just received my diztronic case and absolutely love it.
Question is: for those of you who have this case, what screen protector do you use with it? And have you had any problems with the combination?
Thanks!

I tried the otterbox, anti glare & clear eBay and zagg screen protectors. They all ended up bubbling up.

ZAGG HD works perfect for me. If you put the screen protector on after the case you can center it so it won't bubble up.
I was lucky with mine that I centered it fairly well before I got case and it doesn't bubble up.
The Zagg HD is the first screen protector I've bought that is noticeably smaller than the screen to accommodate cases.

I am having good luck with the Spigen screen protector. The ultra clear one is a bit thicker I think. The first few days it would bubble a bit in the corners. But now it doesn't bubble at all.
