Just ordered one...will give feedback when I receive.

Skinomi protectors are nice, had one for my sensation and it was like butter

Good deal, but I'm just going with TPU smoke translucent case and no protector. Gorilla glass seems pretty tough

I own a painting business so i must have all the protection i can get but i guess i could just use my evo 3d that i have flashed to boost for my work phone...thats about all its good for...lol

One word "Sand"

Are these better than the one that comes with a TPU case?
I've used Otterboxes before, those had excellent packaged protectors, but I'm new to TPU.

Thanks. Ordered it

Figured I'd ask here, instead of making a new thread. Does the GSII have gorilla glass like my original Epic?
Not sure why anyone needs a screen protector if so. I know some people still manage to get scratches, but I'm not sure how. I did some key-slamming-&-scribbling-tests on my first epic before I sent it in to assurion, and couldn't scratch the thing for nothing. I also use it at work so it gets beat up pretty good. Never had one scratch or blemish, and still don't.
I usually like my phone naked, but with this one being so thin, I'll probably be forced to get a case so it fits better in my hand (like I had to do with my Hero)

Epic touch 4g is gorilla glass from all the specs ive seen online.
I personally tend not to use screen protectors. I find just don't put it in the same pocket as your keys and your set.
I grabbed a TPU case the black matte one of amazon from TPU-cases and it comes with a free one. I might give it a shot, but screen protectors just seem to kill the touchscreen experience IMO. I've always run my ipod-touches without them and never a single scratch.

anyone have a review of this yet??

I have had skinomi protectors on all my devices (Xoom, iPad2, Htc evo, 3VO)
You cant go wrong with this protectors.

Really curious to know how this fits with the TPU cases. The screen protector that came with my TPU case was a little too big to use at the same time as the case.

how does Skinomi compare to invisible shields ???

Having used both the two are very similar. I had the invisible shield on my pre and it had a bad orange peel look to it. On my Inspire in used the Skinomi be I didn't like the orange peel look of the invisable shield and I have to say I thought the skinomi one was far better the other it was clear as day and barely noticeable. It was smooth as glass I was very pleased with it. So much so I ordered one for my gs2et.

Ordered this. On its way. Will let you know how it work.

Actually it dose a pretty good job. Now I'm not saying there will be no finger prints but I would say it cuts it down to about half of what you would see without the protector.

Exactly what I was thinking. I got the Ballistic case and I love it. I also got the SGP ultra oleophobic screen protector (the one for the skyrocket) and I absolutely hate it!
It attracts oil like a magnet, and the smudges make the rainbow effect, even wiping them doesn't clean it; it just moved the smudge around until I do a few passes. I even thought I installed it with the sticky side up, but no, I checked.
Anyway, rant aside, do you have any of these problems with the realook?

so i am torn between getting the ballistic case or waiting for the trident ams kraken
ive never owned either anyone have an opinion of both?
i know ballistic is big and bulky but thats what i need as i drop my phone alot.

Ballistic case and Zagg screen protector love both.

SEXY = Incipio feather case + steinheil ultra crystal screen protector blah blah blah
protection just from scratches and greasy hands
if you drop it....God help you...

I did a bad install the first time, there was lint and the SP was slightly off, I couldn't deal with it so I took it off and applied the 2nd one, and to perfection it's still on here and looks as if it isn't there.

Yes it may be bulky but it is great protection. I let my little cousin play with it, she dropped it not once, but TWICE on cobblestone, and it survived both times, no cosmetic damage on the case either. I'm gonna go back to Seidio as I need it with a holster, tired of pulling in and out of my pocket. If the Seidio holster fits the Ballistic case, I might as well keep the Ballistic on here.

Definitely! It makes the white background so grainy and takes away from the beauty of the AMOLED screen.

Best Skins Ever are - The Best!
I just received this and applied it. 24 hours later, there are no bubbles and the view quality is perfect! One of the (many) things I appreciate about my SGS2 is its thinness. My thinking was why get a case that only takes away from that svelt feel? While it may not protect well against a drop of 6+ feet, I pay for monthly insurance for that - I know it won't get scratched up. I think it actually makes the phone better to grip with it on as well! You can't beat the price either at either $6.99 for the screen only, or $8.99 for the entire device. Highly recommended!!!

Realook Screen Protector + Diztronic Black Matte Case = Smexy.

Best case/screen combo

Hey guys after just recently destroying my nexus I'm looking for a good combo for my s3. I had an otterbox for my nexus which was pretty good but am open to suggestions. Any help greatly appreciated.

*Edit* Huh, posted in the wrong topic, but oh well I'll give some input anyway
Personally right now have an aluminum bumper, with a replacedable battery door to color match it. If I added a tempered glass screen protector on this, it'd probably be a pretty good overall protection for the device.
How did the otterbox allow the device to get destroyed? Thought they were pretty solid.

Thanks for the reply. I fell down a rock face and landed on my phone . Ok, I am currently looking at the Commuter for the S3 and either a best skins ever or a bodyguardz screen protector. Does anyone have any feedback on any of these products?

I just ordered an otterbox commuter and it comes with a screen protector. I am sceptical on the quality of that protector and lucky for me the steinheil curved crystal I ordered two days ago also just shipped, I guess they were out of stock for a bit. I had a steinheil ultra crystal on my evo lte and it was a perfect fit as well as smooth as glass and invisible. Hoping the curved crystal is as good but I'm going to give the otterbox one a try first.

I have heard mixed reviews about the Commuter. I am hoping it becomes easier to press the buttons after a week or so. Yeah, I wouldn't use the screen protector it ships with either. Who makes a good anti glare screen protector?

Tpu case + full coverage screen protector

View attachment 1628614So I finally got a tpu case for my s3. And now I'm in the market for a new screen protector. I've searched around the forum, and the consensus is that screen protectors that cover the entire front of the phone (e.g. realook 3d forming and spigen curved crystal) will eventually just start getting pushed up at the edges by the tight tpu case. However, looking at my cheapo ebay case, the edges of the case only just barely cover the chrome edges of the phone, no more. I'm wondering if anyone has experience trying out a full coverage screen protector along with a tpu case. Is it feasible? Here's a link to the case I'm using:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Black-S-Curve-Soft-Gel-Back-Case-TPU-Cover-for-SAMSUNG-Galaxy-S3-III-L710-/130746295599?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e7116252f

I've tried a few full screen protectors with my diztronics tpu case and they all bubbled up at the edges. I finally went with the dba just like glass protector because I hated the edges being raised and it works perfect with the case. It's also very clear and smooth. I would recommend it over everything I've tried so far (cheap protector that came with the case, skinomi tech skin and zagg invisible shield). You won't regret it, great protector.

I believe all full screen protectors will cause issues with slim tpu cases because they dont overlap the protector. My xtremeguard lifts with my zoogue case.. but not with my uag nor seidio surface or any other bigger case
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi

well I guess that settles it. Now I just need to find one that's compatible with tpu cases and has some decent coverage over the edges of the screen (but not just the screen itself). I had a realook crystal on my old mytouch 4g, and that one covered almost the entire face of the phone. I would just get another realook crystal clear, but the one for the s3 just only barely covers the screen and almost none of the rest of the face of the phone. It looks cheesy. Thinking about trying spigen crystal. The nano seems to dent/scratch too easily. I just want a protector that would work well with a tpu case and provide more coverage (not entire face of course) than just the lcd screen alone. Something with ~2mm gaps on the sides would probably accommodate a tpu case. No? It's just too difficult to tell how much space each protector leaves around the edges of the screen.

That also reminds me, do the sgp ultra crystal (latest revision) and sgp ultra nano both cover the same amount of surface on the s3? I understand that the nano is thinner. So perhaps it covers more of the face of the phone. Please reply if you know.

I was going to post a similar thread. I didn't have an issue with a Zagg shield + TPU case on my DINC2 but the one I bought off eBay (where I bought my other ones) has been causing bubbles. This bums me out because I feel that the phone is incredibly slippery without a case.

That's what I needed to hear! I have the cheap hk tpu case and my friend has the diztronic tpu case. So it looks like if I buy the realook 3d forming for me and the spigen ultra crystal for him, then I'll have compatibility for both phones/cases. For anyone curious, here's what I've gleaned from posts on this forum so far.
Spigen Ultra Crystal, ultra nano, and Realook crystal clear will work with any tpu case because the protector just covers the screen, not the most outer edges.
Realook 3d forming will probably only work with tight tpu cases that barely cover the edges of the phone. Although this protector is supposed to have edge-to-edge coverage, others have stated that the protector stops 1-2mm short of the very edges of the phone. So it should work with some tpu cases.
Spigen curved crystal won't work with any tpu cases b/c the protector literally goes exactly to the edge of the phone with no space in between.'
That's what I know for the most popular choices in dry-apply protectors. I'm not interested in wet-apply protectors, but I do know that these will not get messed up by cases because they literally glue to the screen. Post here to let us know if you have any brands/styles of dry-apply protectors to add from experience.

Correct. I have tried few cases and few screen protectors.
Screen protectors including Spigen Nano clear, Realook 3D and Glasszone Tempered Glass.
Cases: few cheap HK 2 bucks cases, Seidio Surface, Diztronic TPU and Samsung Protective Cover+.
The best combination for me is Samsung Protective Cover+ and Realook 3D curved screen protector. This combination gives me a solid look and moderate protection. It is best combo for going with formal wear and showing some content for my clients from the phone. It is barely noticable that my phone has case and SP

Well, I should have taken everyone's advice here. I tried to get the realook 3d forming full screen protector to work with my cheapo ebay case, and of course, it pushes up the corners. So sad because I really like the screen protector's coverage. What kinds of cases work with the full screen protectors? (obviously not tpu ones as I've tried both diztronic and mercury without success). If there was just 1 mm less coverage on the full screen protectors, you could use a regular tpu case. My other galaxy s3 has the spy ultra crystal which is also nice, but just barely covers the lcd screen leaving 3-4 mm around the bezel to get scratched. I suppose a result screen protector is my only option if I want to use a tup case as well? please report!

Try my suggested tpu case above or get samsung protective cover+.
No problems so far. Using this for two months. No more frustration. Full coverage screen and full coverage bezel protection.
EDIT: I also suggest original samsung TPU cases as they fit perfectly with full screen protectors.

[Q] Best Glass Screen Protector?

Hello Everyone,
I am interested in buying a glass screen protector for my phone. There are couple out there but I am unsure with which I should buy. I am debating between iloome Screenmate and Seidio Vitreo however I am not sure which is better. Do any of you have a good glass screen protector? Thanks

Buy a UAG case. It comes with a protector. If you want a holster, Amazon sells one by Reiko that even works with an Otterbox Defender. It's a fantastic holster, and was like 3 dollars. And the holster comes with a screen protector, too!
Honestly wouldn't spend a lot of money on one. Think they are mostly the same. Mostly paying for brand.
If you don't want a holster, just pick up some cheap intl s3 ones. Recommend you buy a pack.

If your not looking for a case that comes with a protector, I would just get a pack of clear protectors off of ebay for a few bucks. I had one on my phone before I got my otterbox defender, which has one built in. The cheap ones did just as good of a job as the one on my otterbox.

Man you guys totally did not answer his question, he's asking about those glass screen protectors not those crappy ones from ebay. Personally op I'd go with the Iloome simply because I have one and it is totally awesome. It feels just like glass and it doesn't interfere witb the touch screen.

How is the iloome with cases? I have a seidio active case, do you think it will be compatible?

I'm not sure what one you should buy since i use the cheap ones and love them. However, a buddy of mine has the Gorilla glass protector and I don't like it. It has a very weird texture to it. It's almost like orange peel with little divots all over it. I think this is meant to reduce glare... I just don't like the feel though. I may have to check out one of those iloome for myself though.
