I've tried a few screen protectors now and I hate them all. The Gorilla Glass seems to hold its own without one at all, plus it feels much smoother when scrolling on the screen. Just try not to have piles of keys or rocks in your phone pocket and you'll be fine. I've had mine since it launched in February and have had no issues so far.

Realook by far is the best one I have tried, and I have tried many. You gain security without any drawbacks. Don't knock it till you try it. Have had this protector on my phone for several months now and several small scratched have shown up on it. It's $5.50, plastic and takes a beating so my real screen doesn't have too. (Obvious point, no one scratches their phone screen on purpose, the point of a protector is not to protect your phone from normal daily use when you are being careful, but for the times when **** just happens and there was nothing you could do about it. That's when having these things are most important / useful).

I say get a screen protector and don't leave the gorilla glass naked. I babied my phone for a week before I got anything on it... then two scratches from god knows what. Gorilla glass will NOT hold up to minute particles of nothingness in your pocket so be aware.
I personally like the marquee splash screen protectors (I think that's the name) that are on amazon. Clear, feels like the normal screen, went on fine.
I tried ghost armor at first and I hated it.. it had orange peel and dented really easily. It seemed to shrink over time, too, which is weird..

Gorilla Glass is bull**** man. I took off my old screen protector because there was a minute imperfection in it and cleaned it with a brand new lint free cloth and now there are 3 tiny scratches in the glass. I mean with the new screen protector you can't really see it, but it's such bull****.

ZAGG Invisible Shield.
Lifetime warranty FTW!

I think i order BestSkinksEver total body skin.
I had bad experience with Zagg, i just don't like it.
Thank you all

I accidentally sat on my phone wearing jeans with rivets for about 15 minutes; no scratches. I still wouldn't put it in my pocket naked though. But no protector.

Do you have it installed on your Atrix? I installed on my son's iPod touch 17 months ago and it still hasn't peeled. Then I did my Dad's iPhone 4 8 months ago and the front is still looking great. Not sure why I didn't do my Atrix yet.
Edit: I added Moto ruggedized battery cover for minimalistic grip to phone. Really like it so far. In stock at cnn.cn.

Yes that's true, you can actually call it an OP magnet but we're talking about screen protector here and I dont think there's anything else that can protect your screen but the Invisible Shield by zagg.... I have speck casing on my atrix with the invisible shield for the screen and I accidentally dropped it like 3-4 feet high on its flatscreen and not even a scratch on the screen.... my co-worker bought an atrix too and with it he also got a speck casing and one of those screen protector from at&t store, couple of days later while we were talking about our atrices/atrixes he accidentally dropped it in front of me and when he picked it up the screen was cracked! He was mad as hell because he didnt listen to me... lol
I mean the stuff they show on their demos is for real, I've used invisible shield on each of my phone for so many years now and each of them were protected by invisible shield... yes the invisible shield is a orange peel/lint magnet but you can easily wipe them off, I guess for me I'd be more concern about the protection of my phone and not the OPs

I tried an extra Skinomi protector a friend had and it developed bubbles a couple weeks after installation. Then I got a SGP Steinheil Ultra Crystal and I'm extremely happy with it. My friends who also have Atrix couldn't even tell it had a protector on. Plus it isn't a wet install and takes just a couple of minutes to put on. It's the hard plastic type and very slightly drags more than the bare screen but it's hardly noticeable, especially in comparison to the soft plastic type like Skinomi.

i got zagg just because i got tired of the fingerprints that attract to the glass. before i got it though, the screen was exposed to some harsh conditions at my job, and did not scratch or anything; so it is a tough screen

Invisible shield's original screens were pretty bad op, but I've had one on my evo for nearly a year now and it's just as good as the day I installed it.
They have a new formula that is SUPPOSED to be less op, but it's only for the iPhone right now

SGP oleophobic ftw! SGP gives you 2 screen protectors and you can't tell they are on.

Whose using their phone without a case?

Just wondering. After using my iphone 4 for about a year with an iphone bumper I eventually took it off. Along with the screen protector. When I bought the one X I decided not to purchase a case. Although the phone can feel slippery at times, I just make sure to pinch both sides of the phone. (thumb on the screen, middle finger on the back of the phone) when reaching into my pocket to pull it out. Anyone else not using a case that might of regretted it?

I have a case but I only use it when I go mountain biking. I think cases are FUGLY, particularly on the sexy One X. As for screen protectors, if you can apply it flawlessly its okay. However, its next to impossible to apply it flawlessly, so I never use them either.

Got my one x for three weeks now, no scratches and such. The reason could be that im still using my DHD a lot. thinking bout to get full body screenprotector.

Mostly I don't bother with a case, but now and then I use the htc v701 case

you can see this thread i made = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681427

TBH, if I worked in an office or a clean indoors enviroment then I probably wouldnt use a case, the handset would just slip into a shirt/trouser (pants for the americans here) pocket.
I work outside a lot though, often have dirty hands and sites I work on have hardcore all around… drop my phone on that, then its screwed.
Dont use a SP though, hate them, spoils the lovely feel of the glass.
To be honest though, I dont tend to have phones for more than 6 months, so like to keep them as nice as possible if I decide to sell them on ebay.

Hi
I've been using my phone without case or protection... But since I accidentally dropped it and the back got some scratches, I feel like there should be a case back there, you know, just in case
Also screen protector is not necessary since it has Gorilla Glass, but I saw a topic here about people getting scratches on the screen, so if you're comfortable with them, that wouldn't hurt either

I use to be real careful with phones, treating them like little babies lol but overtime you just get use to your phone then your not so delicate with it. Although I probably should throw a case on mine since I work as a mechanic, another reason why I didn't get the white one lol

No case here, regrettably. Dropped it a fair few times now so there are some nice scratches and dings in the back and sides. One day I will learn to look after my stuff...

No case no scratches. I like my phone like I like my sex unprotected lol.

I did too until my last phone caught an STD. (Sudden Tarmac Destruction)
Joking aside, I found that the HOX was a lot harder to operate one handed in comparison to my Sensation and came close to dropping it a few times.
For the last couple of days I've been using this and I'm finding the phone a lot more secure in my hand and easier to operate one-handed. It adds very little bulk to the phone and I'm delighted with it.
I just need to find a car mount now that will fit with the cover on as it's a bit fiddly to remove the cover.

I have ordered an HTC One X, just waiting for it to get in stock. I don't think I'll be using it with a case. I never did with my O2x. I handle my phones with care. Partly due my appreciation of having the privilege to afford such devices, but also because it ups the re-sale value. I'll probably get a screen protector though.

The phone looks so damn good without the case but as it's a wee bit too large to fit in pockets when you're sitting down I decided to put a case on it. Tried two cases, metal skin and aprolink, settled with this one:

Screen protectors, I simply hate the cheap ones you get off ebay and the like, you always get bubbles, so I bought a good one and for the first time I was able to find a screen protector that's bubble free:

It looks sh!t hot on as well. I was worried it made me look too metrosexual however all my mates think it's cool... (phew)...

No case, but I'm using a pouch similar to @tsukurimashou. Reminds me of my Nexus One's pouch. I only use it on the weekends/traveling though as when I'm in the office it just stays on the desk or in my pocket.

No case. The design of the phone was a major factor in my decision to buy it...not going to cover it up with a case. This is the first time I've gone without a case on my phones.

Review: Spigen SGP GLAS Premium Tempered Glass series for Galaxy S3

So my SPG GLAS came in the mail yesterday. I've had some time to fool around with it, so I thought I'd post some of my more detailed impressions as well as some pics.
The biggest surprise of the entire product was its size. The GLAS does NOT cover the entire phone, but stops short a couple of millimeters on all sides - actually, right before the screen starts curving. It does make your screen feel smaller, and does remove that wonderful edge-to-edge glass feeling, but it doesn't impair functionality.
It does fit well - all cutouts are perfectly aligned, IF you can put it on perfectly. Mine was shifted just down and to the right, which made the Samsung logo under the speaker grill look a bit odd. But the soft key backlighting did turn out - when the light is on, it's impossible to tell that it's actually coming from a layer behind the GLAS. Maybe it's because its so thin - especially of you have a case that is raised around the edges, and even if you don't, it hardly seems thicker with than without the GLAS.
And glas(s) it is. The surface feels extremely smooth and infinitely better than any wet screen protector. I don't have the Curved Crystal, so I can't compare to that, but this does feel *very* slick. But it's not perfect. If you have SHS (sweaty hands syndrome) like me you'll notice a little bit of friction increase over the original screen, but not much. Overall, it feels awesome.
And then you turn your phone on. And try to swipe to unlock, but nothing happens. Really. Touch responsiveness is noticeably decreased with the GLAS. Especially while typing. It's fine if you make a conscious effort to press a little harder, but it has almost driven me crazy when keys don't register, when it mistakes a swipe for a tap in the app drawer, or when my screen doesn't unlock. If you're a more deliberate or heavy-handed user, this probably won't affect you, but those of use who use Swiftkey like a crutch and fly through homescreens like there's no tomorrow, you might want to stick with a dry protector like the Curved Crystal.
...And here are some pics. Feel free to ask me anything, just don't expect to get answered instantly.

Not to be a **** but there's already two other reviews about this. The sensitivity has been a concern but nothing is never perfect the first time. Look at the Spectre. There's a lot more complains for both the S3 version n GNex version

Also after a while there's a trick to getting along with the sensitivity issue. I really noticed it when I first got it. I barely notice it now although I make the common typing errors cuz of it. I still contacted SGP n I'll try to get a replacement. I didn't exactly align the protector right (did it the moment I woke up) n it kinda bugs me lol

Was about to buy this, after seeing this, imma stick with my belkin anti-glare..

Of course, the ideal would be something like Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) Diamond on top of the original GG2 face. Hmmm... maybe I just invented GG3?
That would have to be the ultimate scratch resistance but would of course not help you when it comes to dropping the phone.
Having said that, there is no after market "screen protector" that will stop the glass actually breaking.

I got the SGP Ultra Crystal protectors for my gs3 and my Nexus 7 and I am very impressed. Can't even tell they are on there and they clean up amazingly hardly leaving finger prints at all...it feels like I don't even have one on. They made a glass version for the Galaxy Note 2 that is supposedly even better than the Ultra Crystal, but people are reporting it's too thick and is making the S-Pen hard to use.
I was about to buy the Zagg HD invisi-shield, well I actually did buy it at Best Buy at the recommendation of a friend, but when I got home and looked up reviews I was astonished to see it was awful, and I paid $25 for it. I then listened to everyone in the thread and got the SGP Ultra Crystal dry protectors for $13 comes with 2. I am very happy with my purchase. I just ordered one for my Note 2, bout to get one for my iPad.

im honestly not certain how some people can be having so many problems.
(im not saying that there can't be...)
I have the Zagg HD with a case on my phone and it covers pretty much everything that I could want, its nice and clear, it's stayed on well, it feels way nicer than the old Zagg screen protectors ( you can still feel it) but my finger glides very nicely on it, it cleans off well.
the only problem I've heard about it that people dont like is that it dents easily ( I haven't managed to dent it yet except for while I was applying it.
people are saying the dents don't go away....and after I dented mine I was worried that would be the case for me too, but sure enough, 2 days later, I noticed the dents were gone.
Now...I got mine for 50% off ($10) would I pay $20? eh......yeah...but I might investigate some other options first.
now...as far as wrecking the phone...nah, be careful don't get a ton of solution in any of the holes, and make sure you have the battery out when you do it. I'd also leave the battery out for a few hours if you really want to be careful but I tossed mine back in almost immediately.

There are many peoole who are unhappy with this zagg after googling. Most of the review are only half good. I think I will skip this. And get the curved spigen

It just got worse and worse and worse, I couldn't bear it. They then want to charge you for shipping and handling to get it replaced, which is AFTER you send it back. It's so stupid. It's not just phones either, I had a zagg on my iPad 2 a few years back that did the same. I got it for the S3 because I assumed they would realize their stupidity. Oh well.
Where did you get yours? Link please .
I ordered the Spectre glass, hopefully that does the job.

hmm someone has to post their screens of these other protectors people have been mentioning.
Ram, how long have you been using that screen protector? I've had mine for about 3 months now.. and it has maybe one or two small marks similar to yours. You seem to be making very good use of the screen protector lol.

That's exactly how my first replacement looked like after two weeks. I'm on my third and even though it's better then the previous two I had it still has two marks that won't get away and I can't stand the rubber feel.

Zagg is crap like most people know. I had one on my old GNex and it felt like crap and dented really easily. So I got Skinomi.
If you want a good wet apply screen protector then Skinomi is the one. Little to no orange peel, and doesn't have that rubbery feeling. xoskins is also good but it's more rubbery. Free shipping too for US and Canada.

Thats about what mine looks like too. Zagg HD sucks.

This is what happened to my phone when i tried to use zagg.

Wow HanMan that looks horrible. I've had Zagg covers in the past but I've never seen such denting. I've tried the cheap screen protectors available on auction websites for a few dollars and overall they aren't horrible and offer at least some protection. Much better than having a screen that looks as bad as what you are observing.

They aren't the best available anymore, but they get the job done when applied correctly. I have them installed on all my devices.

Any brave souls out there using the HTC 10 naked?

I have been using cases and screen protectors on my phones all my life. This time I decided that enough is enough, I'm going to use this brand new phone naked. I already dropped it and it has like 3-4 dents at 2 of the corners. I was sad for a while but this is bound to happen anyways. I considered using only a screen protector without a case, but that would make me a half-way crook and I'm too hard for that.
So, any cold-blooded thugs out there using their HTC 10 naked like me? We need to unite.

Running it naked, haven't put a case on any of my phones for past 3 years. Why buy a marvel of engineering (smartphones in general) and then cover it with a case. No scratches or anything so far, but they add character to the device.

If you go through devices like me (one every other month or so) a case is important to protect the device for resale. But it is certainly nice to sport around naked once in a while.

The Uh Oh protection is one of the reasons that motivated me to go naked. Does anyone know if HTC will replace phones that have scratched up screens without cracks? Or do I have to hit it with a hammer before calling them for a replacement later on if necessary.

Never use a case or screen protectors, can't stand them.

I ordered a Ice View case along with the phone. I got the phone today but the case wasn't in the box (they said it is still a pre-order item). I guess I'm running naked for a while anyway.

skinned mine with dbrand skins...
i mean yet to receive the shipment though was supposed to be dispatched on 4th may no news yet.. but this is how its going to be....

Completely naked. Why cover a beautiful smartphone?
I never use a cover on my phones.

Ohai!
The ice view case looks great and all, but it adds extra efforts in using the phone. So say in general, cases ruin the beauty of the phone altogether, regardless of what case you get.
Apart from the screen having a potential of breaking, the rest of the device is meant to last. Live life on the edge (until the phone breaks, then you can cry)

I use a slim cover, with kids my M8 has taken more than a dozen falls... still well rounded.
My 10 is already scratched the screen brushed against something edgy and I cant figure what it was.

I never used to use cases, but I have a tendancy to drop things thhese days so I do use one, but I'd rather not have to! Going to get a tight fitting skin like above I think as have rugged case that you can't see the phone through, so it looks like my old phone!

Same here, dot view cases were fun but now I a want to enjoy the new design of the 10, perhaps I will put a tempered glass but not a cover, I am very careful with my phones but you never know when someone put his stuff on your phone when it's on a table, I got a hairline scratch on my M9's screen last year because someone put his earphones on it (yes I know screen coating by HTC is not so good)

This phone is so beautiful that are huge case would just ruin the design but also you need to opt for some protection. Therefore I have purchase the Spigen thin fit.

I haven't received mine yet but I've never used a case for any phone, I've only cracked 1 screen though and that is my current phone Nokia 1520, but it cracked when I was holding it in my mouth not from dropping it D:

Around the house i do, when i leave it's covered by a flip case.

Lol cases are for galaxy phones to cover up the ugliness
