Hello,
First of all i would like to state that I am aware there are quite a few screen protector threads, the problem I have is that being based in UK I cannot get some of them
So I wanted to ask you guys, what screen protectors would you recommend that are available in the UK? I used to buy all my protectors from eBay, but I hate the rainbow effect you get when you look at the screen in the sunlight. Also I would need one that wouldn't leave any finger print marks, as the ones I have are practically useless in that department

There are many screen protector topics started already, most will ship to UK, why not ask in one of the topics?

Try the Xtremeguard protectors because they only work out $1.25(75p) each if you buy 3 or more and use code Big75, and shipping is only $3.78(2.40) and mine only took 3 days to get to UK.

Succumbed today and ordered my GS2. Thought I would check whether Brando are showing any screen protectors yet and was a bit surprised they already are. Ordered mine. Normally they don't put these on the website so hopefully they already are. Will see whether I get a despatch email by tomorrow or Wednesday morning.
EDIT: Had an email will be posted this week

bro why u need a screen protector, as u know its already protected with gorilla glass. may be u dnt trust gorilla but let me tell u bro i m using my omnia hd for last 1 and a half year n nokia n8 for past 7 months without screen guard, and not even a single scratch is there on both the phone's screen. so have faith on gorilla glass,
Gorilla glass is not unscrachtable
.. and I want to be able to put my phone in my pocket without worrying if my keys or coins are in the pocket. For me it's peace of mind.
And by the way Brando shipped my screen protector yesterday so hopefully will get it about the same time as the phone.
Where did you order it from? I want the anti-glare version...
Rather than asking, I googled it. I ordered mine yesterday.
Here's the link for the anti-glare version:

Thanks for the heads up guys. Just ordered myself one.

To be fair, I googled it and searched the Brando site. They usually use numbers like i9100, so maybe that's where I went wrong.
Thanks for the link though.
Fair enough. I did spend a little while figuring out how it worked. Not the most user friendly site is it?
I barely installed mine before removing it. It looked terrible...
I'm now using the SGP Steinheil Oleophobic screen protector, a fantastic product.
Sent from my happy place.
UPDATED:
Recently many members has posted that they have received these mercury protectors cut short of about 1-2mm and does not have the curved edges, I have personally seen these, and the package looks identical, it is confirmed that these are all authentic, the old version has the curved edges, new version are cut short.
What evers Mercury decisions was, they still have the sticker showing the curved foaming edges.
I would also suggest you contact the seller and ask them to confirm the actual protector are curved, and not based on the sticker.
I just purchased the lime green one for the fun of it, here is a simple review of it.
Before I start, the shop has put this protector on a few phone and has given me a warning about the curve of the protector, with this protector it will fit best with korean version of the S3 or a made in korea unit, as the glass are made in many countries the curve edge of the glass may vary due to specification, this isn't to say that you won't get a perfect fit on a international version or US version.
With the lime green protector that i have purchased, there are cut out for the sensor, camera, home button and the ear piece, the cut out are precise to about 0.2mm which is very good, the curves of the protector is also very good, and does goes right upto the edge of the metal bezel by 0.5mm which is considered one of the best edge to edge coverage.
The actual screen protector is a anti glare and matt finished, and is varly clear.
Does the bullkin have any rainbowing? Im hoping they popup on eBay as Im not a fan of matte protectors.

Yes they do, you can see the rainbow effect when the screen is turned off, or on a black screen.

Guess I should have read the review a little better, just noticed that you had already mentioned. Is it pretty bad or only only noticeable at extreme angles?

I shall continue my hunt for one then. I can deal with that. Not a fan of this Pebble Purple Samsung went with.
That's fantastic. I guess I'll check and see if I can get the red Bulkin one.
Does the black have a metallic finish like the Mercury brand?
Sorry if it was mentioned, didn't read the whole review
Edit: it is a solid color, thanks
A great review/overview, thanks - its a real shame that it's so difficult to find both of these (fully curved and fitting) online anywhere...
One question, just curious - you mention that you can get 4 Bullkin protectors for the price of 1 Mercury - what was the price of both protectors? (mercury seem to be around the $10 USD mark on ebay...)

The price of my mercury was USD 11.5, I know on ebay the prices has dropped a little, but those on ebay, you're not sure if you will get the flat one or curved one, But for me, I buy direct from a local store, so I see the item before I make the purchase, the extra cost is worth it, if i'm sure to get the proper curved screen protector.
These bullkin only cost approximate USD 2.5 which are wholesale price.
first post updated with more information.
Can't wait to see what the reviews are going to be like. They look pretty nice!

First thing. I envy you. I had my cousin in korea send me a mercury from there and still same issue with the gap. Second, have you seen these screen protectors in china? I've asked my cousin about them but she hasnt seen them in stores.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280934039929&var=580120833302
I would love to get these if you've seen them with full coverage.

I've also seen the mercury in china, all short without curved edge, wholesale price at less than USD 4, and no, i haven't seen the bulletproof one's yet, maybe they are just new boys on the street, may be later on.

ignore this.
rlatjs17 I ordered one of those glasszone protectors, I'll post about it when i get it in my own thread.
those are nice! i just ordered my pb sgs3 and will probably buy one of theses. OP, sorry if i missed it in the FP but which one did you like more? thanks for your review
So the real Mercury ones have almost full coverage with curved screen if I have understand it well?
I'm looking for one with full coverage because like with the SGP I would have an ugly gap between my bumper and the glass protector then.
Looks promising, but I keep buying screenprotectors these days in the search for a good one

Those Bullkin protectors looks promising. They are not that expensive and the quality looks good.:good:
Looks like screen protectors are popping up on amazon, but nothing with prime yet.
Does anyone have experience with any of the brands available?
Query: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=is_pp_2?rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3A"smartwatch+3"&keywords="smartwatch+3"

I'm wondering if one of those glass protectors might be a good option for this sort of device. Anyone scratched their screen yet? I'm sure it's an eventuality.

I have one on my Nexus 5, I feel like it would stick up way too much and just get destroyed.
I've used both pet and tpu protectors for years and never had problems with good brands including keeping phone with keys in the pocket.
So, I pulled the trigger and ordered Xinomi 6 pack, at least that's the name I heard of and for protectors they got consistent 4+ stars at amazon, will let you know once they arrive.

Did you received the Skinomi screen protector? How do you like them?
Yes, just got it installed last night.
In nutshell they are OK, easy installation (cause you can reposition while it is wet and screen is small), good clarity and OK feel, not too rubbery. Have no idea if they how good they are at protecting the screen tho, never used them before.
OK, noticed only outside, but looks like it makes screen more glossy look, not extremely bad, but noticeable a bit
Got a package too

I ordered a package too. At least I will have the Smartwatch 3 protected until a better screen protector will become available. Thanks for the update. I should have the watch by Monday.
Does anyone have a good screen protector available in the Netherlands? Skinomi is not shipping to the Netherlands not even from Amazon.co.uk

I got the cheap (like 3$) xgaurds or whatever from ebay - the 6 pack or 1 pack is from the same vendor, the 1 pack is wet, the other is dry application. Works great, it is a wet application and doesnt mess with the sensors.
I am usually terrible at putting these on as I have no patience, but I only have one pin like size buble on the upper edge which is not even noticeable. I dont notice a difference in the tactile feedback

Sure...the wet one is "ExtremeGaurd" while the Dry is "EZGaurd". I didnt know one was wet, maybe because it was so cheap so I thought "what the hell", but I always go wet if possible.
I like the wet better as you can iron out the bubbles and i find it more idiot proof (especially with this watch) since you put the soapy water all over your hands and watch without any worry since its waterproof. That means no fingerprints and a pretty good adherence.
For 3$ and like 5 day shipping, give it a shot...at least you didnt waste much money!

reviews for them arent the best on here
http://slickdeals.net/f/8693407-xtr...ent=u3272328&utm_campaign=tu4&src=da_18547922
alot of problems so I guess buy at your own risk
Ordered. thanks!
I've used them in the past with no issues, just order 2 screen protectors and 2 glass screen protector for £9,so can't really argue
Just got a glass and a regular for $3.40, not expecting the best here but that is cheaper than most shipping and will last me until I decide what the best one to get is. Thanks for the post.
I have one on right now. What's so crappy about it? I'm sure all of the glass ones are equally crappy but for a couple of bucks who can complain haha
got the tempered glass a few days ago...the size wasnt correct...my m8 had the perfect fit for the tempered glass...i spoke to them they are replacing my order but hopefully they have fixed the size of the glass it didnt cover the screen completely
Hello guys!
So I have ordered some hardened glass which ended really bad with all the bubbles and also collected alot of dust around the glass which just ended up badly. So now I am here and for everyday when I see if, it just gets me mad.
so now I am here - I need a screen protector that could be for the edges aswell but I do like hardened glass more than the thin' glass - but if there is any better please just say all the ideas!
What I need is to atleast be cheap (Not a rape of 75+$)
- Easy to mount on screen
- Should be really happy when I see no bubbles!
- And shipped to Sweden asap! So I dont need to wait months!
What do you guys have for me to recommend?

I have not yet picked up a screen protector, but the Whitestone Dome does appear to be the best currently available. Just be aware, it's not cheap, $45 USD on Amazon and a bit complicated to install if you are not careful. There are plenty of videos for installation, so make sure to watch those first. I will likely be getting one shortly, just got a case today.
Yeah. I refuse to Shell out the money and ended up paying more the multiple screens I've run through...the best so far was the Hero Shield but the bubbles are ridiculously difficult. I'd stick with the Whitestone.

I concur !! I love the feel, look and touch sensitivity of this protector. Price isn't cheap but neither is the quality of the protector. I gladly pay for a product that is worth the money.
I've heard a lot of good things and might consider this for my next screen protector (currently use Intelligent). Was just curious in what they charge for a replacement if it ever gets cracked? Also, I thought I saw somewhere that you actually have to mail the cracked screen protector back, wait for them to inspect it (and go without one for awhile) before they send a replacement.
Anyone know if that's true?
