Diztronic and screen protector - Galaxy S III Accessories

Hey guys just received my matte black diztronic case from amazon! Love it. But like others here have mentioned the zagg HD screen protector doesn't play so nice with this case so I have 2 questions.
1) I am currently using the screen protector that came with the case and the edges don't seem to stay down. And tricks to getting them to lay flat?
2) Do you guys think its necessary to use a screen protector with this case and if so which ones would you guys recommend to use that would fit with this case?
I can post some pics of the case if anyone wants. Have the pebble blue gs3 but I think there's already been quite a few posted.

I don't have my diztronic case yet but maybe you can tuck the screen protector under the case lip?
I would definitely use a screen protector. I've already managed to scratch my screen somehow. Gorilla glass 2 is not scratch proof.

I purchased the Diztronic black matte case with screen protector also. How are your sides not staying down with that screen protector? The included screen protector is a protector that doesn't extend all the way to the edges. I had the same combination on my phone and I had no problems.
I'm now using the Body Glove tpu case with a Reearth screen protector. This combo has been the best so far. Be sure you don't use any wet application screen protectors with a tpu case. They do not play well together and the edges of the screen protector will start to bubble up as the tpu case edges push against the screen protector edges.
Also, most dry application screen protectors for this phone do not extend to the edge of the phone because the edges of the phone curve downward. So if you have a dry application screen protector that extends to the edge, then chances are you will have a problem with the edges staying down as a result of the downward curve of our phone around the edges. There is a company currently manufacturing dry application screen protectors designed to fit the the downward curve of our phones along the edges, however these are currently in pre order.

To be honest I'm not sure why its not staying down. I have bubbles that go to the edge of the screen on the top left and it appears that the whole right edge of the screen protector is not down. Not matter how much I push it down it comes right back up. And I have the protector centered almost perfect on the screen so it shouldn't be because its sloping down because the other side is doing fine so well.
Anyone have any other screen protectors that work with this case? Or even wet ones that don't get close to the edge?

My Clarivue screen protector works fine with the case. It is cut small though, I don't mind it but I know some people do.

Screen Protector Recommendations

Hey folks,
I'm wondering if anybody has any good recommendations for a screen protector. Normally I hate them but if possible I'd like one that's not really visible and won't collect dust.

Your best bet is with XOskins. I've tried both dry and wet app, and for clarity you should go for XOskins. I've heard very little about martin fields, but it's $20 for 1 and it's a dry app, so it'll be smooth unlike the XO. The only thing about XO is the rubbery feeling, however it is a great product and you should definitely go with it.
I personally have tried a handful of screen protectors, so I'll write up a quick review on all of them and try to help you out.
Clear screen protector from Verizon: around $15 for 3 dry applications. Does not fit up to the edges and has a rainbow effect at certain angles. Would not recommend.
SGP flex: around $15 wet application. Does fit up to the edges, but like other wet applications, still feels rubbery and has some minimal orange peelish effect. If you don't mind the feel/look, it will protect well. I personally do not like the feel/look of wet applications.
SGP oleophobic: around $15 for 2 dry applications. Does not fit up to the edges, but feels really nice and repels oil well. If you don't mind not having full coverage around the edges, I would recommend this.
Martin Fields: around $15 for 1 dry application. Does fit up to the edges, but because of our curved display, the bottom and lower side portions of the screen protector lift minimally. Also, does seem to be a fingerprint magnet. If you like dry applications with full coverage and don't mind small lifting at the bottom and lower sides, this works well. I'm personally using this since I like dry applications and it covers everything except the earpiece. It also comes with a small circle protector for the rear camera which is kinda cool.
ARM Station: free (?) I went to their site and emailed them asking for a sample and they sent 2 samples over to me for free. They're in China, so it took a little over a week. This fits pretty much to the edge, but slightly less than the Martin Fields, which is nice because the edges don't lift. They are thin, so I don't know how much protection these will offer and there is the rainbow effect like the clear Verizon protectors. If you don't mind those things and like the full coverage of the screen, these are really nice. Just don't know how much longer they will be sending out "free" samples.
Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions. One more question, which ones are least visible? In other words, which one will help my screen look like I don't have a screen protector? I'm super OCD and that bothers me lol.

There are 2 things that make you aware of having a screen protector - the clarity and the fit.
Oleophobic is pretty clear but it's not edge to edge, so you could obviously tell there's a protector sitting on top of your screen because of the margin around it.
XO is just as clear BUT it's wet application so it means the texture is slightly rubbery. No orange peel though, unlike Zagg.
Will the martin fields cover enough so that the cases can "lip" over it? I remember the sgp had considerable gap on the edges and thought that no case would cover those. I have the diztronic v3 case if that matters.
I've tried almost all these screen protector and for $7.99 you can get basalguardz screen protector and there is 3 in the package. Can't go wrong

martin fields is really edge to edge so i guess sgp neo hybrid's lip would cover the lifted up part i guess

Case friendly screen protector?

I usually use the ZAGG invisishields but the one I got for my GS3 is damn near edge to edge which make the edges bunch up when I put my case on. The case I have is pretty standard. Its nothing crazy. All previous phones have left a small gap at the edge of the screen so that the case doesn't come in contact with the protector.
Does anyone know of a good screen protector that will work with a case? I typically prefer applied wet protectors since I find they are more forgiving to install and typically stay on better than the dry ones. I'm open minded though if someone found a dry one that works amazing.
I'm having this problem too with a tpu case I just got.. I have an xoskins protector on right now. I'm trying to remember if I got the 'case fit' or not.. apparently the case fit means its smaller so we won't have this problem of the case peeling up the edges..
Anyways.. I would check them out I'm pretty happy with the protector..

I have the same screen protector and HAD that same problem with my Incipio SILICRYLIC® DualPro. But I went back to my Ringke SLIM lite, and the screen protector doesnt lift. But I had to give up some protection.
I got the zagg hd and it sucks with a case.. Will rip right off once you put the case on.. For now I took it off completely and have the case on

Small Screen Protector

Hey guys I'm looking if there's a screen protector that covers just the screen. I'm looking to order a matte black decal to cover the front of the phone around the screen to match my black UAG case (favorite case so far btw, its amazing!!! If you havent tried it your really should. 8th case is the charm? Lol). But right now I have the spigen curved screen protector on and I still want one when I put the from decal on just wondering what you guys would recommend. I'm a little hesitant to put a screen protector over the skin or vice versa. Or is there any skins that include a screen protector??
PS the curved screen protector works awesome with this case. You can't even tell there's one on there and there is no bubbling or edges being pushed up. I will post more about this in the UAG case forum when I get a chance to get some pics and stuff.

Best I can think of would be getting a universal screen protector. Downfall is they aren't going to be as good as the name brand protectors, but pretty much like the cheap generic china made protectors you get off of ebay.
Upside is they usually come with multiple (3-5) sheets that you can cut out your self. Otherwise I was unable to find exactly what your looking for (nor heard of any). Maybe someone else has though, wait and see.

I just bought this exact color case and only used the stock screen protector for 30 seconds before I decided I hated it. Otterbox made a great case but put an absolutely horrible piece of plastic over it. I popped the stock crap plastic out and am currently using a Spigen crystal curved screen protector ($15). It is excellent, easy to install and it covers 100% of the front face, from edge to edge. It also installs back into the defender without any issue at all and feels great, like there is nothing but the oem glass under your fingers.

yeah that's why I want to get a screen protector before the case gets here because I know the screen protector on it will be junk. i was thinking of going with a glass screen protector, but idk how it would fit with the otter box.

amFilm screen protector review

I had one of the spigen glas screen protector s installed and it had the air bubble issue. So I'm never spending that much coin on a screen protector again, I just installed a amFilm protector on today it's flawless cutouts are perfect, and it feels great to the touch. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...1807&sr=8-2&keywords=nexus+5+screen+protector

Can you tell me, does it fit nicely with a case? I just applied a caseology protector with a caseology case and believe it or not they're not very compatible. The screen protector seems to be just a smidge too big. The case fits perfectly, but I'm getting air bubbles on the 4 corners that aren't there without the case.
I have a spigen slim armor case it is perfect with this screen protector. The protector doesn't go all the way to the edge of the glass there is a tiny gap when centered perfect

how is it with fingerprints and dust? I have the ultra clear crystal on right now and smudging finger prints all over it
it gets fingerprints ,but seems no worse than touching the glass screen without it.

I have it and it is amazing. I'm typically not good at applying screen protectors, but amFilm's hinge method does it nicely.
I have a video if you guys want to watch it
When the phone/screen becomes warmer after some time do you find the screen protector becomes much less slippery?
I've noticed that with my Invisible Defender and it's annoying because when the phone is cooler my fingers glide easily but not when the phone heats up.

Never had that on the amFilm screen protector (at least for me). It's hard to tell when it's winter. Everything is cold in Canada lol

Just got mine.
I was always using steinheil/sgp screen protectors for the past 3 years, decided to try amFilm.
To my surprise I got 4 in a pack instead of 3.
Installation was super easy, tho I misaligned from the first try, but simply took it off and reapplied.
All cutouts are exactly in place.
I can barely notice protector on the screen, only feel it swiping down notifications (can feel cutouts for sensors and speaker)
Highly recommend it!
The only thing I would prefer to have tabs on the other side as I'm using peel back application method and it's easier to start from top side to get a perfect alignment.
