X-Gear Fantom - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I thought I'd share this with XDA. A tempered glass screen protector,it's a bit pricey but I've never used a better one.

That's the side of the box. The flat rate box was 10x worse.

Good review. Still waiting to get mine (plus the S2 one for my girlfriend's phone) in the mail... hopefuly intact!

Got my fantom today, it was by far the easiest application ever. Haven't noticed any issues with screen responsiveness at all. It shames all other protectors I've seen and used. Looks great with my SGP ultra hybrid case.
As for the light dots, you can only see them in bright light and they are not bothersome at all in my opinion. With my SGP ultra hybrid case it still is below the case bezel. The smoothness and glare are also nice in my opinion. Love the smooth polish, can use it as a mirror in bright light lol. Also less fingerprints on this than the SGP ultra oleophobic protector and vzw protector. Best investment ever since my ultra hybrid!

Mines came in today so going to install it later tonight? any tips or things to watch out for?

Just wipe out any dust and line up earpiece and camera, then work your way down to bottom keeping it straight. Don't be afraid to redo if you miss. It should be really easy.

screen protector with anti fingerprint coating?

so i know lots of people are complaining about the fingerprints on this phone, personally the anti-fingerprint coating has been working perfectly for me.
i do want to get a screen protector though, but i'm hoping for one that has the same coating.
i think i saw a post somewhere here about one but couldn't find it so i'm wondering if anyone knows one.
There are some available.. I think stential or something like that, the spelling is prolly wrong, makes them. But it degrades the quality of the screen.

oh that's disappointing. i wouldn't want anything to lower the quality of the screen, need to show this beast off lol.
almost tempted to continue to go without a protector and just be extra careful then.
Www.sgpstore.com is the company I was thinking of.. Not sure if they make them for the gnex yet tho.

Ordered one from amazon, used same one for galaxy S2, worked great. google this: SGP Samsung Galaxy Nexus Prime Screen Protector Steinheil Series
http://xoskins.com Theirs reduces them a tun. Here's a video of it
well from what you guys are saying SGP seems to be the best. the Xoskins looks interesting but i'm a little confused. their video makes it seem great, but you say that it reduces them, so what do you mean there?
and just to be sure, if i want the anti-fingerprint one this is the one i get right:

Yes. Just know that it doesn't go edge to edge on the screen because of the curve.

shouldn't be too much of an issue for me since i use a case anyway and hopefully that will cover up the fact that it's not edge to edge.

This is not always true. The Steinheil Ultra Oleophobic will not degrade the quality of the screen. It is a bit undersized but this is by design since the screen is curved and it's a dry-apply screen protector. I've used them on my Incredible, Eris and TB and loved every one for not only their ability to minimize the appearance of finger smudges but their ease of installation as well.

Man, that is.... tiny. you would figure a full screen protector.. would cover the full screen.
OT, but that's the red S3 from AT&T? Maybe it's the flash but it looks a lot more vibrant than the blood red that i see in the commercial.

Don't really care for that screen protector. Doesn't seem like it covers a lot. Just my 2 cents. You seem pretty excited about it though, so it must fit your needs.

My family and I are all using Realook screen protectors. My sister and I both own a Samsung S3 and we have the Realook curved film installed. It covers the whole screen. Is it possible you got a knock-off? Can you please post the packaging of your Realook?

Has anyone tried using a screen protector yet? If so, does it affect the behavior of the S Pen at all? Alternatively, has anyone had cause to regret not having a screen protector? I'm hoping to do without...

I got some minor scratches on my Note while using the pen. Not from the pen itself, but from tiny debris on the screen getting caught under the pen tip. If you're gonna go without a screen protector, just make sure the screen/pen tip are clear of any kind of debris.

I went to the Ghost Armor kiosk in the Mall near my house. They don't have an official GN10 screen protector yet so they custom cut one to put on for me, using an iPad screen protector. When they get official GN10 ones in, I'll go back and they will swap it out for no additional charge.
I have had GA on my Rezound, my Thunderbolt, my iPod Touch and my g/f's last 2 iPhones. I really like the stuff. And, to me, the stylus feels like it moves across the screen easier with the GA on than it did on the bare glass. I actually compared the stylus on the bare glass to the stylus on my GA'd Rezound screen before I got the GA on my GN10 - so that I could have a direct A/B comparison.

40 seconds in, that arrow destroys that protector. No way that didn't scratch the phone. If this is orange peel, no thanks, but if not it might be better than the HD. My HD has soo many indentions and I work in an office!

I have brought the original one and the two that i received (i brought into buy1get2 promo) after some days started to appear some marks below the protector... very frustrating.
Is anyone planning on getting the extreme? The video they have of the iPhone one seems quite impressive. I would love to read some reviews. .2mm seems like a lot to add. I've seen some cases that thin on eBay.

Not quite sure why everyone hates zagg. I'm quite fond of their products. I had an invisible shield on my S2 for the entire life of the phone and it was great. I've never had a protector that self heals like the zaggs do. Also have the hd for my s3 and really liked it but my tpu cases bubbled it up so I'm sending for a replacement (another plus)

I went through 3 zaggs with my wife's iPod and 2 for my old blackberry. Then I tried one with my s3 and just another disappointment. Needless to say all our devices are zagg free. There is no way that im that unlucky to get all defects. So my opinion is that they are very low quality and shouldn't charge as much as they do for their inferior products. My blackberry has a $5 screen protector that lasted 3 years and is still on there. Currently my s3 is naked until the revised specter comes out.

The original zagg sucked.. Would start to collect dirt and come off after a month...
The zagg hd I haven't had that problem with YET but also I don't expect to. It's like half the thickness or less so I expect it won't have the same problem as the orange peal version

Just picked one up at Best Buy for $35 and this thing is pretty thick! It's so thick it sits higher than the home button. Smooth as butter. I'm still waiting for it to completely dry but I don't think it's as clear as the Zagg HD. Makes the screen look kind of grainy. Oh well, I still like it. Definitely not going to test its durability like it was in the iphone video.
