yes....like a boss

Does that mean the Flex will feel like a Skinomi? I love their Carbon Fiber series but never liked their screen protectors.

haha sorry if you felt that way. I looked up wth FlexHD is, and sgp has that information on their product page so i just put a link. That way people can make their own decision depending on what they are looking for

I was hoping to hear that, Ultra Crystal it is for me

just received my s3 and installed the flex sgp. noticed it does not fully cover the screen on the side. there was enough gap to trap some dust and lint over time.
other than that, i dont see anything wrong with the flex.
should've went with ultra crystal since that's what I have on my S2 but I want to try something new

Would you mind posting some pics of the Flex HD installed on the GS3? Really curious to see how it looks installed.

I have tried both.
-FlexHD-
Pros:
anti-glare
fingerprint proof
fits the screen perfectly
Cons:
my first batch has this very weird rainbow effect problem. currently waiting for my free replacement from SGP; their customer service is very good.
-Steinheil Crystal-
Pros:
as the name suggests, it's crystal clear
feels very high quality
Cons:
does not cover the whole screen; see photos:
http://i46.tinypic.com/2a4r2pk.jpg
http://i45.tinypic.com/2qbexwj.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/2vcaute.jpg
Overall, I prefer the FlexHD and that will probably be my final protector once I receive my replacement. Although I'd replace it with a Steinheil Oleophobic (when they come out) if it has that rainbow problem again.
If anyone has any comparison questions, feel free to ask me. I've tried FlexHD, Steinheil Crystal, and XtremeGuard. I'll probably try a Zagg before I put on a new FlexHD as well...

I'm not sure why you'd waste your money on Zagg. Honestly, those have got to be the worst, most lint happy, bumpy, overpriced films I've ever seen. Have you ever used a Zagg? I've had several kits on iDevices years back and they're great for the backs of iPods just for protection but SGP is leaps and bounds ahead of them IMO.

How the XtremeGuard compare to the FlexHD (worth the extra $15) ?
I'm very disappointed with SGP customer service, so I think I'll avoid their products in the future...

Anyone try this one?

Im actually kind of liking that it doesn't cover all of the glass, it looks like the actual screen is covered which is the purpose of it right? and with it not covering the entire thing getting any bubbles out would be easy right?

Thanks for the pics on the Steinheil Crystal. compare to the flex, it's not that bad lol
after 8 hours, the bubbles disappear except for 2 I can still see but the rainbow is still there.
took the pics on the S2

I'm sold!
I almost fell outta my chair when I watched the installation video.....my first concern was "how the hell they gonna show a screen protector install in 23 seconds???" The rest was history. Already placed my order, that's is a purely genius idea/technique they've got there. I don't really care that it doesn't reach the edges of the phone, my Otterbox will likely cover the area it doesn't so no worries.
Thanks for sharing that

@916x10
Please post pics and let us know about quality when you get it. I'm totally tempted but already received two Zagg Full Body and ordered the Ultra Crystal.

sgp crystal = close to glass feel
zagg = rubbery feel
I ordered the anti-fingerprint... should be here in a day or so.. cant wait cause i dont like the feel of the zagg at all!
Let us know how they are.
Especially the anti-fingerprint..
My two biggest probs with this phone are
A. oil
B. not as smooth as an oleophobic coated equivalent. (AKA oil again)
in for the reviews...
Incredible... They are out of stock. FAIL
be happy you didn't get one. i got my anti fingerprint today and there are no holes cut out on it for the front facing camera. their design is wrong its probably the same as the HD2.
Just ordered the anti-fingerprint.
I've been using the crappy one from sprint, and it already has marks on it that won't come off.
I used to use powersupport crystal film on an iphone, and it felt like glass and lasted forever without getting any marks/dings/scratches on it, so I'll see how this compares.

Many of the protectors on the market don't have cutouts for anything but the speaker - this is not that unusual or "wrong"...
I have pretty much settled on boxwave as my sole provider of screen protectors for various devices after having tried many. They have the best custom fit (all holes cut out) screen protectors in my experience. I actually do not use the clear one, just the anti-fingerprint one.
For cases, I pretty much go exclusively with Seidio now too.

its not wrong... like someone else said.. i am not sure i have heard of ANY screen protector that has cutouts on the front for the camera or light sensor. Like i said in the other post, these are "99.9% optically clear" and they should not interfere with anything.
Well.. i got my Steinheil anti-fingerprint the other day and i am shipping it back today.
What i liked: The fit / cut was great! Didnt interfere with the camera and was perfect. I really like the material its made of (not stretchy spongy like Zagg) very hard and felt good on the screen. And the aheisive they used was really awesome! While putting it on, its very easy to take off and move so you make sure you have it in the right spot, but after its on, it stays in place well!
What i didnt like: Really the only thing i didnt like was the matte finish on the anti-fingerprint ones. It felt nice and was great to the touch. My finger glided very smooth over the surface, however, it seemed to give the screen a grainy look and with this beautiful screen on the Evo, you just cant have that.
I would absoulutely buy from them again if they had the clear in stock or could tell me when they would have more in stock. But they cant, so i am returning it and think i will try the handhelditems ones just to see if there is a quality difference in the "value" priced ones VS. the "premium" ones (my guess is there wont be)
zagg has cutouts for both. it's the only one i have delt with.

Just got mine last night. I have the same opinion of it. However, I applied mine anyway because I had the crappy universal Sprint one on there and they only cut a square to match the 4.3" display instead of all of the glass.
I ordered a crystal one also last night...I'm impressed with the anti-fingerprint one, but like you said, the matte/grainy finish is just a no-go on such a nice display.
Boxwave has these cutouts. I have and always will be a Boxwaver....

Boxwave boxwave boxwave. All the correct cutouts and perfect feel and look.
I received the Steinheil Ultra Crystal Clear protectors in the mail today. I like the feel of it-no rubbery feel at all. The installation is a dry method and very easy to apply and walk away with a perfect looking screen. There is no wait time like with some other brands out there where you need to use liquid for the installation. On the EVO I've tried Ghost Armor, Phantom Skinz, and ExtremeShields and now Steinheil. Steinheil by far is my preference though wish the protectors were cut to the actual size of the screen not smaller than it. I'd much rather have a more difficult installation with 100% of the screen covered than an easier one with portions of it unprotected. Of all the protectors I've tried cut wise-Phantom Skinz covered the most screen of all them.

Screen Protector that retains the stock glass feel

Are there any protectors out there that retain the bare glass feel? I don't care about finger prints or glare, just don't want any scratches I've fallen in love iwth how smooth the screen is
Yeah, I do have the same question. Digging through the 'Best Brand for screen protectors?' and can not find clear answer.
I even do not care to pay more for the ultra clear and same touch feel.
People, you did bought a lot of different brands. Could you please consolidate the feelings after week(s) of usage, anyone?
I have the PhantomSkinz on my Captivate, and I have a zagg on my zune HD. I also tried a ClearFreak on the Captivate for a week or so before the PhantomSkinz came in. Long story short, phantomskinz is a bit better than zagg, and both of them are much much better than the clearfreak. I wrote up a post comparing the three and posted pics here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7420035&postcount=22

SKINOMI.
Though you can feel the edges of the case protector, the screen protector is beautiful.
It is something like .08mm thick and adheres completely flush. I am a new fan of skinomi and love the picture/screen quality with it.

Hmm I will have to look into that I ordered a Seidio ultra clear last night (2 pack) so maybe I'll do a comparison
I use Realook on mine. It smudges up pretty bad but when its clean it looks fantastic. There is no adhesive so you can pull it up pretty easily and you get the standard two in a pack. The camera lens cover is a bit of a pain, the thing is so small its hard to keep fingerprints off the back side when putting it on but I got it on in the end.
Sorry to go off topic but did anyone purchase the screen protector from Samsung directly?

That's a good question. It sounds overpriced if you need only one kind, e.g. clear transparent. But if it's great it may worth it to buy. I would like to get a feedback.
I just got my two realook screens today. They do smudge easily but its not any worse then without the protector. It went on easily and I have one small bubble on the upper left corner which I am sure will go away in a day. Overall I am very happy with it, and for $11 for two shipped to my house, I couldn't pass it up.

How do they feel compared to the stock glass screen?
I had an Invisible Sheild full body skin...didn't like it. It wasn't super clear and was a little sticky, I just swapped my phone at AT&T today and they talked me into the screen covers they sell, I guess its new? 3 for $10, so far I like it 100x better than invisible shield, much clearer and closer to the glass feel!
Just got my Seidio protectors in yesterday They were really easy to install and left zero bubbles that were hard to remove. The clarity is awesome - I can't tell that there's a protector installed by looking at it. The surface does seem a bit less smooth than the glass, but I can live with it!

I bought two Skinomi's from Amazon (thinking I might screw up first installation). sure enough, I did screw it up first time, leaving big bubbles. But the second try went down perfectly (you gotta be very careful not to let fluid get into edges of phone during installation).
But ... in the end I found it felt like too much drag when swiping the screen compared to the naked screen. Difficult decision - I'll be really pee'd off if I scratch it, but I'm going naked for now - I'm just gonna be super careful.
I picked up some of the Skinguardz and they definitely have a rubbery feel.
I ordered SGP. Will let you know how it works when it will be delivered.

That is what I got at my local ATT store. They are alright, but at least they are super clear.
Apparently Martin Fields now has Captivate protectors in stock too. I've never used them personally, but I've read a lot a reviews that people swear by them -- a bit pricey though.
http://www.martinfields.com/US/MFOP-SamCaptivate
Just passing along the info.
Just got the realook protector from amazon in today and replaced the gadgetguard I was never satisfied with. Can't believe the difference- looks and feels like nothings there. And the install was leagues easier and foolproof.

after I went to phantomskinz, ghostarmor, boxwave, realook, bodyguardz and SGP websites, SGP is the most attractive one to me... please let us know how does it feel after you attach it! =)
and say no to bestskinever or invisshield/zagg if you want a smooth feel screen protector, i have them both for my cellphones and camera, which is very nice, but i dont think it will be nice if i put it on my touchscreen devices...

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.

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...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLUUqQHn68I
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.

Video Review: SGP Ultra Oleophobic Screenshield Install/Review

Hey guys,
Got my hands on the SGP Ultra Oleophobic screenshield for review this time, this is an oil-resistant screen protector. Installation was pretty simple as you can see on the video and I'm pleased with the screenshield. I've used several of these on other devices and they've held up well, so I wanted to pop one on my Galaxy Nexus and show it off.
Full review below:
Mine should be coming in the mail in about 10 minutes.
The fact that it doesn't extend to the edges of the screen is very disappointing. I understand the reasoning, but the edge of the screen protector is very noticeable, and it detracts from the overall look of the phone.
Would a wet application screen protector be able to extend all the way to the edge of the device?
I'd be interested to hear from anyone with the SGP Flex screen protector to see if they're any better.

Yes, a wet application would be able to extend all the way since it can be held down with more ease.
I've got an SGP Flex ready to install but I want to use this oleophobic for a couple more days.
Oh, I'd love to see a review of the flex when you install it. Personally I think I'll get a flex. I got the ultra oleophobic for free from a competition, so no loss.

I just did a quick review of the Flex here Niksko.

You don`t need one, GN screen leave very very very few fingerprints, its so damn good compared to iPhone - no extra crap protectors needed.

I didn't do the review because I needed the shield, I did it because I know there are people that wanted to know how it fit/worked. Anyways, I apply screen shields for protection - better safe than sorry.

Have you seen a video where guy is trying to scratch a screen with key? He failed. This screen is rock solid!

I've seen many of those, but I've also seen scratched devices that have Gorilla Glass. I know it's more scratch resistant, but it's not scratch proof. Screenshields don't bother me, so I don't mind the extra protection.
We love rbs_uk!
The Verizon GN screen shields are pretty good though and readily available. They also seem to fit a lot better than the SGP's...

Well I've already scratched my screen with nothing more than straw that fell down in my pockets while throwing bedding down for the cows (grasses actually leach silica out of the soil/lithology to give their cell walls rigidity). This screen is definitely not invulnerable and I think I will pick up the flex instead of this screen protector. I really like the idea of this oleophobic shield, just not the implementation.
This sounds quite interesting. The website mentions no rainbow effect, how true is that and does it reduce the image quality on screen??

I have noticed no rainbowing on the screen as opposed to a cheapo screenshield I had on before.
As for image quality, you won't notice any degradation of sharpness or clarity, the screen does get a little less bright I've noticed but it's nothing huge.

SGP Flex screen protector review and pictures

I just received and fitted my SGP Flex screen protector so I thought I'd put up a few pictures for those considering it.

I can't post images yet.
It was pretty straight forward to fit, a few bubbles under the film that i had to push out though. The surface is slightly grippy. This is my first screen protector (and smartphone) so I'm not able to give a comparison but I'd certainly say it's not as smooth as using the nexus bare.
I'm happy with it but I'll probably try a non spray type in the future to see how it compares.
As you can see the screen protector covers a larger area than the SGP Steinheil Ultra Oleophobic, pretty much right to the edge of the screen before it curves.
can you fix the pics link ?
Not until I have 8 posts. Just copy paste into the address bar. Sorry.

Is this crystal clear or anti-glare? Any blurriness or rainbowing?
How much?

I am interested in hearing your thoughts on screen clarity and any rainbowing from it as well.
Thanks for fixing the links.
Screen clarity is great. The film is not noticeable from the angles you would be using the phone but there are some slight ripples you can see from extreme angles. The second picture I posted shows this.
The film claims to able to heal itself and I have noticed overnight some slight marks (again only visible from the side) I made by pushing air bubbles out with my fingernail have disappeared.
No rain-bowing whatsoever as far as I can tell.
I would guess the film would be crystal clear not anti glare, I can't see it mentioned anywhere. Maybe check the product site.
I purchased from the SGP store (search SGP Flex Galaxy Nexus, sorry still can't post links)
and Paid $50 total with the most expensive shipping to Australia which took 3 days including a weekend.
I've just paid £20 for one of these to be shipped from South Korea to the UK with express delivery. I ordered on Saturday and had an email saying it was shipped today. I hope it's worth it.

I also just ordered mine in anticipation of the hopefully soon VZW release.
Just grabbed one of these US$17 delivered.
Hopefully they are ok, I loved the Bodyguardz on my iPhone.
Thanks for the pictures and impressions.
This new Flex series seems a lot like Zagg InvisibleShields I had for my Droid X. Depth's pictures show the typical "orange peel" texture that is associated with most wet application screen protectors.
Not exactly my cup of tea, but I'm a bit thrown off by the lack of full screen coverage with the Steinheil Oleophobic model. Thus I'm still debating which is the best solution to go with. I inquired about a Ultra Crystal and Optics version for the Galaxy Nexus and Steinheil customer support had no clue.
for me, either realook or martin fields for the screen protector and a wet invisi-type protection for the body!
i guess that is one good thing waiting for a bit for the GSM North american versions. by the time we get it, we'll have loads of accesssories to choose from.
but of course i'm an impatient american and want my gnex now, so gonna order next week!!!!
just waiting on the vzw release and see if there is a gsm version coming soon to USA.
Mine arrived today and I was really careful with keeping my phone scratch free. I cleaned it with the cloth and perfect, not a scratch anywhere. I fitted the screen protector and still managed to trap a small speck of dust. Lol.
All in all the fit is great and the casemate tough along with the sgp should keep my phone immaculate for years to come. I would recommend this to anyone as the protector is quite thick but doesn't seem to spoil the display at all.

yup same here i used ALL of the solution trying to get the dust out and there is still 1 spec left right near the edge .....but ive seen it and it annoys me lol
What about smudges and fingerprints.. can they be easily wiped off? I ordered mine just now and I hope it won't attract too much of that.
With the wet application, does the protector cling to the screen immediately like a dry application, or does it slide around a bit, making for easier aligning?
Yes but For a short time. Of You hands a moist fingers tend to "skip".

Can you comment if it has an orange peel effect? I abhor screen protectors that offer that kind of look. I refuse to put one of those on that screen. I was planning on buying one right now so I will have it the day I get my Nexus on VZW. If you can take a really good picture of the screen to show any kind of effect if any, I would appreciate it. Thank you very much!
