SGP - Steinheil Screen Protector now available

SGP has the screen protector for the xoom.
Steinheil Screen Protector
I'm assuming it's in stock if it's on the webpage.
IMO, this screen protector is way better than the Zagg one. I have one on my incredible and i love it. It's not rubbery and it feels just like the screen.

I've used their Screen Protectors and they are the BEST

Which one is the anti glare one's I have never owned a steingeil one.

Agreed! The best screen protectors there are. They simply disappear when they are on. Too bad i just ordered a Skinomi. Im going to order this SGP and return the skin.

If you'd just look around a bit more, you'd find that the Ultra Fine for additional $3 is the anti glare and is also matte.
Looks like it's the one I wanted. I was hoping for something like iFrogz anti glare screen protection I've been using on my iPhone which it totally rocks. Don't like the InvisibleShield, it's still glossy. =P

Thanks for the heads up, going to order one now.

I'm getting one of these. This is the closest thing to the Verizon branded version, which I loved on my Droid, but the XOOM version doesn't cover the entire screen.
I was planning on getting a Zagg using a coupon code from another member here, but decided to do some more research on that product, and have been on the fence about getting it. Now my decision has been made.
If anyone wants the Zagg code, let me know. I'll PM it to you. You have to use it before Friday, I believe.

I just ordered one. There is a coupon code to save 10% too: SGPVerizon

I was just about to post that one as well. Ordered an Ultra Fine one with the coupon. 28.94 total.

Thank guys! I just ordered the Ultra Fine as well. I like the idea of matte finish to reduce glare. Glare is ridiculous on the Xoom. My nook is much better about reducing glare. Anyway, thanks again! Hope the protector doesn't reduce vibrance of the colors nor clarity.

Man, I hate how much reflection the Xoom picks up. Unless, you're in a dark room, it's hard to see the screen sometimes. I love the idea of the Ultra Fine SGP. I don't think I've ever used SGP, but I know they have a good reputation.
If anybody could post a video, or screenshots of the Anti-glare when they get it, that would be great! I'm just holding off for now because I want to know if it reduces the screen quality much. But looking at YouTube reviews of this on the iPad, it greatly reduces glare.
Here's a good video review of *cough* other tablet's SGP Anti-Fingerprint...

Good thing I waited to get a protector, because this looks like it's just the ticket.
Ordered the Ultra Fine.

They are indeed high quality but there are visible scratches from swiping on the one installed on my Droid X just three months ago. Is this typical? Thus far I have no scratches whatsoever on the VZW protector on the Xoom.
And this is from someone who is fanatical about taking care of my electronics.

Yes, this is normal. I've had a Steinheil on my Incredible since May and there are multiple scratches but they're not unsightly. You have to take into account that you're not putting the Xoom in your pocket with various sharp/metal objects, so as long as your fingers and screen are relatively clean, you won't see those same scratches you do on your phone's protector.
I love Steinheil btw...

Thanks. That's why I asked -- I use a clean microfiber cloth to wipe regularly and it is kept in a case in my purse and never in a pocket. I was surprised at how easily it scratched from clean fingertips.
Oddly, I haven't seen a scratch yet on the VZW/Xoom and but expected to. Guess I am spoiled with Giottos AEGIS Pro LCD Screen Protectors for my DSLRs but they are made of German Schott glass.

Well mine's probably horrible compared to yours! I was also careful at first, making sure it was in pockets solely by itself, but after the first two or three scratches, I stopped caring. You got me thinking that I should put the backup that they sent on!
And on that note, only one comes for the Xoom, correct? I'm very obsessed about getting it perfectly laid without a speck underneath.

Yes, it is a single protector but I wouldn't be concerned - they are not fragile and easy to apply. Just be sure to find a very clean, nearly dust-free area and wash your hands well before application. I usually keep a lens blower handy as well as a couple of pieces of Scotch tape. I place the tape on opposite corners for easier control of placement.

received the ultra crystal screen protector & just finished putting it on. quite simple to apply. love the clarity. will do the same on my wife's xoom tonite.

Did you get the crystal or ultra fine? I ordered the ultra fine and hoping there isn't too much loss on viewing quality.

Screen Protection?

Yea or Nay?
I saw a Zagg at Best Buy for $29. Worth it? I know i do not want to scratch the screen.

I've been going back & forth whether or not I should get one as well. I tend to see more negative reviews than positive ones for the Zagg. I won't be as rough with it like I am with my cell phone. I'm wondering if I will need a protector at all.

I got an InvisibleShield and I think it's worth it. It's just comforting to know that I can do whatever I want to the screen, and there won't be any scratches on it.

I have one on my captivate, my laptop and have ordered one for my tab. I will say they are definitely not for everyone. So heres how I would describe it:
-100% will protect your screen from scratches (micro and major). Even gorilla glass will scratch.
- Feels like a orange peel or rubber/plastic on the screen. I love it, some ppl really hate it.
- After cleaning it, you might notice your finger catching a bit on swipes and drags. Its minor but some people again like that super slick glass feel for a touch screen and thats understandable.
- Might have some small bubbles after applying. They WILL go away over time, I promise.

I just picked up a tab yesterday and when I saw the price for the Zaggs, I said forgettaboutit!

I have had them on my phones for years, deff not putting one on the Tablet. It's not carried around in your pocket. It has scratch resistant glass so any normal day to day stuff shouldn't scratch it.

Those wet application orange peel ones all suck.
Static screen protectors are much easier to try and remove if you dont like them.

Not sure if the GT has gorilla glass but my Evo does and i have dropped it atleast 6x i the year i have owned it. All 4 corners got marks and i even managed to drop it face down in a compacted gravel parking lot. It slid after it landed face down! Still not one scratch when im sure normal glass would have spider webbed. So if its gorilla glass dont need a screen protector baby!

On my phone? Absolutely. On the Tab? I don't think it's necessary. I've had my ipad since it launched without a screen protector, and don't have a single scratch, because when I'm not using it, it's in a case

Nay for the tab. It's going to spend most of its time in my house on the coffee table. Gorilla Glass has me covered, in my opinion.

The IO edition uses a different display than the retail. So it is possible the glass is different as well.

I'm not a big fan of the smudges either but you only notice them when the display is off or you're viewing the screen from a wide angle. When I'm using it right in front of me, I can't even see them and I know it has a lot of smudges on it.
Like others said, it's not my phone so it won't be directly exposed to keys or other things that may scratch it. I can't wait for my Samsung book case to arrive to I feel better about it sitting out when I'm not using it.

Boxwave Cleartouch Anti-Glare is really good at resisting fingerprints, if you don't mind a matte screen (I prefer a matte anti-glare on all my mobile devices)
Wasn't available yet, last time I checked, for the GTAB 10.1 but I'm sure it will be out shortly. Have one on my XOOM and my GTAB 7.

Are there any pics or videos of this on the web? I've never used anti glare screens I feel like its going to drop the screen quality.

my previous post said i like phantomskinz. well the one for my tab arrived bent in the mail and didnt apply very good. i contacted phantomskinz and they would not replace it. they wanted pictures of it installed. so i sent them pictures and of course you cant tell that there is a huge streak (where the bend was) right thru the screen because of the glare.
They never replied back to me after i sent the pics. anyways, i went ahead and ordered a bodyguardz for my tab.

Do you mean a full body protector or just a screen protector? I have an SGP UltraOptics (which is the matte antiglare) and I absolutely love it.
The screen degradation because of the antiglare properties, while there, is *extremely* small and I feel that my video consumption hasn't diminished at all. However, reading in a coffeeshop, during the day, by the window and (gasp!) reading outside are both things I do frequently.
Lastly, there is little to no "grip" when sliding my finger across the screen. The smoothness and feel is impeccable.
So yeah, there's my endorsement.

What this guy said. I'd say the optical degredation isn't better or worse than other matte screen protectors - ok, maybe slightly better in bright light or very contrasty environments. I'm a big fan of having no resistance when I drag my finger across the screen.
I will say that there is an odd "zipping" noise as I drag my finger across the screen. Not a deal breaker, but definitely unique - I've had matte screen protectors before, but none that have ever done that.

oh that would drive me nuts. The phantomskinz kits ive had are very low resistance, but since they were not helpful this time around. I wont be ordering from them anymore.

i would say go with the zagg one......very good

wait..
it's gorilla glass. why do you want/need a piece of plastic over it?
I do use a back cover for smooth surfaces, but i the textured back tab 10.1 and the samsung case.
I don't use zagg because that shizz yellows.
I use phantomkinz for my other plastic surface devices. they have a little better optical clarity than zagg and they don't yellow.

I'm jumping on the SGP bandwagon. I got the crystal one for my S2 Epic 4G Touch and 8.9 Tab. Both were super easy to install, especially the Tab, almost effortless actually (seriously, no joke). They look fantastic and feel great. I tried the Zagg and hated it (felt rubbery).

Best screen protector if you want the most clear picture.
Best screen protector if you enjoy constantly wiping fingerprints off... but, it's well worth it. Zero orange peel effect!
Personally I recommend, but it's an acquired taste!

can you elaborate on the "enjoy wiping fingerprints off" ??
was that a typo, or does it really make the fingerprints worse?
still debating on which version to get.

I had the Zagg full body one on my iPod touch, and my old LG DARE, and both did a wonderful job of protecting.
They did yellow badly and it is not that smooth of a surface, but with those small of screens, it really didn't matter.
Now, with my thunderbolt, I have a SGP, and it has stood up to me since March, and only now is it showing its age. I have a spare in he box that I have been meaning to put on sometime.
For smoothness, steer clear of Zagg, that bumpiness will mess up your Angry Birds game.

To add to this thread ...
I had a MyShield screen protector (supposedly it's almost the same as Zagg) and it seemed to protect the screen well but I had a few problems with it:
1) The screen was a bit "sticky", it got better with use but still noticeable
2) Many and easily seen fingerprints
3) Fingerprints were hard to wipe off
4) If you put one of those "stand" cases - or really anything that holds the tab in a tight grip - the protector started to move/peel off at places
Now I have a SGP Ultra Crystal and the screen is MUCH smoother, while there still are fingerprints etc. they are much easier to wipe off and most importantly - no danger of messing up your screen protection when putting one of the cases on or off.
So I'd definitely recommend SGP for tablets.

I didn't manage to find any. But you can get a good deal on ebay, you get a genuine product and the shipping is almost free (I think it was 2$ for me).
All in all it cost me 24$ (around 18€) and it took about 2 weeks for it to get here. Seems like a good buy for me
Bought it off here if I remember right: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ultra-Cryst...S_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item589046f7cf#shId

I love the Zagg texture and feel. I have one on my iPod Tough and Thunderbolt, and just bought one for my Woot Galaxy 10.1.
Hard plastic clear protectors are OK but I don't like their lack of feedback and grease streaking.

I had Zagg on my SGSII. I removed in couple of days due to stickness. I hated the feel of Zagg. I have XtremeGuard on Tab 10.1 and I like it very much. If I'm the only one using it, I wouldn't put any screen protector. But I have a young daughter, I don't feel safe to leave it naked.

Martin Fields Screen Protector Now available

they are dry application. but with most dry applications might have the edge-of-screen-protector lift.
i'm waiting for my xo skin, so someone might want to try this out and report back.

I'm interested in how these fare. I opted for XO Skins yesterday before I knew about these. I usually go with SGP dry applications but I can't stand not covering the whole screen. I got the impression that dry applications are just not able to cover the full of these curved screens without edge imperfections.
If someone gets these, please let us know how it worked out.

Looks like no cutout for the front face camera

Ok, so I just got my Martin Fields screen protector today for my Galaxy Nexus. This was the first time I've used their brand, previously relying on mainly Zagg, but also quite a variety of other brands for all the gadgets I've had over the years. I can easily say that this is the best Screen Protector I've ever owned, by far. Like they say, it is absolutley crystal clear. My screen actually seems to be more vibrant than it was without the protector, and I certainly couldnt tell that it was even applied.
Installation was a breeze...fired up the shower to steam up the room and bring all the dust down, then just wiped my screen clean and slapped it on. Took me a few tries to get the alignment perfect. If you get dust under the screen during installation, the tape trick described on the packaging works excellently. All the bubbles smoothed out easily and my phone was ready to use right away.
The protector is about one tenth of a millimeter from the edge of the screen, which is just enough to keep it from seperating and attracting dust. All-in-all, the most exact fit I've ever seen with any SP.
Anyway, I just figured I would post my findings. I spent an hour reading forums like this before I bought them, with no concrete answers. Between the full device fit, crystal clear look, and camera protector, I have a new favorite brand. Any more questions, feel free to ask me!

I've been through almost 20 Zagg protectors in the past, which are all wet installation. I've had just as many edge-of-screen lift & dust issues with them I have with dry protectors (and I had most of them installed at the Zagg carts). After all, that moisture dries up eventually.

Fits the curved screen perfectly, no issues there. Either they anticipated it and shaped the SP accordingly, or the curve isn's significant enough to have any effect. Overall, very pleased with mine, and would definitely recommend.

There's no reason to. There's virtually no difference noticible when looking through this.protector, and believe me, I tested it with before and afters. They look just like the pictures.on MF's site. The Gal. Nexus protector comes with a rear camera protector as well, and it is just as clear. That was one of the main reasons I tried this brand, because I was tired of scratched camera lenses.

This one looks awesome but unfortunately I've spent a fortune trying out screen protectors for my Galaxy Nexus.

+1 for the pics. Unfortunatelly it's been 2 weeks since I've been looking for screen protectors and have not found one that I like. The wet ones scare the crap out of me and the dry ones I found are cut way to small. Without real live pics I'm not sold. Ordered one from 3M Vikuti for about 15$ and I was really dissapointed. Never buying 3M again for anything, thats for sure.

I hear that. Currently have a zagg. But also have a clear-coat, sgp flex, and a ghost armor on the way. I guess i prefer the wet install type.

Ordered. Wish I saw this before I ordered the xo. Pretty pricey though. I hope it's worth it.

How about fingerprints, does the Martin Fields help? I have the SGP Oleophobic and am very happy with the anti fingerprint properties but wish it covered more of the screen. The SGP would be perfect if a little more coverage.

+1 more for pictures. I've heard absolutely nothing conclusive about screen protectors for the GN and I've spent the past 2 weeks trying to figure out where I should spend my money.

Just ordered mine aswell, lets see.

... that camera lens protector has me very interested.
i'd love to see some before and after pics to see if it blurs or distorts photos at all.

Got mine today and I am quite pleased with the screen protector. Think I should share my experience with those planning to buy this
First the quality of the protector is no doubt very good, it is crystal clear and very resistant to fingerprint and smudge. The screen look as good as before and there is no "rainbow" appearance of any kind one might see on cheaper alternatives. Touch screen response is maintained as well. It dosent seems to attract dust unlike some other static screen protector I tried before.
However the dreaded lift-of-edge issue is still there It may not be very obvious in daily use, but it IS noticeable. I have attach a few photos so that you can see the degree of the lift. It seems that the only way to avoid this is to have a smaller protector to avoid the edge....or use the wet type like xo-skin
For the rear camera protector its quite good from my experience and doesnt affect the image quality or the AF-speed of the camera.

Matte/Flat Screen Protectors?

Does anyone know where to get matte/flat/anti glare screen protector for the SIII? I've been looking everywhere and I can't find any. I don't need it for "screen protecting" purposes, I'm very careful with my phones. I just had one on my Sensation, and I loved the "flat" screen effect. It also offered less friction resistance.
Thanks in advance.

All good. But if you want a matte screen protector to cover the whole screen. you're gonna have a hard time finding one.
I've order one that covers the whole screen but it lifts up on the edges.

I've ordered this before and it doesn't cooperate with the curve screen of the s3

I know its about personal preference but why would anyone want to put a matte or flat on a screen as beautiful this one? That is one of the best features of this device in my mind..simply amazing. I hate having to put a screen protector on period but I don't want to scratch the screen so I use a screen protector that is as clear as the screen or at least close to. Anyways just my point of view.
You should be able to find your type of screen protector on amazon and sgp may have one that suits your needs. I know I saw a couple at Verizon Wireless store

Yeah as much as i don't want to use a screen protector, i can't avoid it because my hands get sweaty at times and i hate it when my fingers stick to the screen. That's why i use anti glare sp. Swyping is annoying when my fingers are sweaty

because he prefers function over form. The matte screen protectors reduce glare and finger smudges. The plain glass smudges and can be hard to see with glare in certain situations

(The one you want is "Nano Optics" under Select Color option)
I hate the dotted and rainbow colors on the matte protectors ... Have been using "Ultra Optics" from SGP on each phone I have ever had ... they are smooth as hell, no screen distortion at all ..
Trust me .. you wont be disappointed
