The screen protectors at sprint stores have 3 screens. antiglare and 2 normal and look really good on the phone. Their antistatic so no glue
And they cover more than just the screen this time.

Care to elaborate? Is this a body skin then?
no he means it covers the whole front of the phone and not just the screen cutout
Ohhh cool. Do these three screen protectors come in a pack or sold individually?

3 pack. 1 antiglare and 2 normal.
Advice, unless you really need antiglare dont use it. Makes the screen look grainy. The normal ones are awesome though and maintain the glass feel and beauty of the screen.
14.99 for the 3 pack btw
my gf and I each got a pack of the sprint screen protectors. I put anti-glare on mine and regular on hers. the anti-glare sucks hard core, but the regular ones seems pretty good. im actually surprised how good the regular ones are. silky smooth, went on with 0 issues. no bubbles or specs. the anti-glare simply makes this beautiful screen look disgusting. oh...but it does cut down on glare for what its worth.
Just a word of warning: the first protector I applied had lint under it after application. I noticed the culprit was the cloth it came with that I used to clean the screen prior to putting it on.

well, as soon as one is available from Realook then i will likely get a set from them. i had/have them for the e4g and really like it. i have tried many others and the Realook are the only ones that maintain the true color from the screen. there may be others, but most seem to take aware from the picture quality.
here is the Realook for the gs2-I9000
and an anti-glare specific one here

Can't disagree with your confidence in so-called "Gorilla Glass" more!
It scratches. Unfortunately... easily. Had my EPIC in my pocket last spring playing golf and don't remember what was in my pocket but it wasn't anything made from titanium or diamonds and got a couple of pretty good scratches on it.... on my second one (after I replaced due to a brick) got a couple of minor scratches rather easily as well.
Don't get overly confident in the "gorilla" glass... I think there is something awesome about it in that it is highly polished and hard... but it IS NOT scratch proof.

My first Epic got scratched the first day I had from something in my pocket I will use a screen protector on the E4GT gorilla glass or not
I hate screen protectors. Who needs it with Gorilla Glass..
Like the above two posters, Gorilla Glass does scratch, and fairly easy at that. All it took to scratch my MoPho was one drop into the pocket my keys were it. As soon as I thought to myself, "Hey dumbass your keys are in that pocket", I pulled out the phone and low and behold there was a scratch. Not a big one, but it was the most annoying little scratch. So screen protectors are definitely a good thing, Gorilla Glass or not.
Gorilla Glass, we got it already!!! Enough already!!! I don't care if it has KING KONG GLASS, the extra layer of protection doesn't take anything away from the beauty of the screen, image or look of the phone. If you've tried a screen protector that does, then you probably either bought a crappy Zagg Invisible shield made of thick vinyl or had a cheaper than dirt one that did suck. The ones the OP is talking about are very nice. Just as nice as the one's Seidio makes, if not better. If you install it correctly, it is VERY difficult to see that the phone even has one on it.
Yes, we know, Gorilla Glass. Please stop! Why don't you make a thread about it instead?
OK, rant over...
I'm getting this horrible "rainbow" effect with the anti-glare protector in the sprint pack. Anyone else have this effect? I thought maybe because I applied it wet that it needs to dry underneath first. Possible?

I used to use screen protectors on all my devices but I stopped believing in them because I usually take good care of my devices either eay and the screen protectors took away the beauty from the device.
It really is just a matter of personal opinion.

I was using ghost armor on my sgs2 until I bought the GNote and tried sgp ultra crystal ( or is it ultra clear? I forget) and loved it! You can't even tell I have something on my screen. So I took off my ghost armor on the sgs2 and tried the ultra crystal, in my opinion it's the best screen protector I have ever used, and I've tried a lot! If it wasn't for the cut out for the ffc you wouldn't be able to see it. No rainbow effect, no orange peel look, no finger prints, no screen distortion, just clear beautiful view, just like the naked screen. I also bought the oleophobic for the GNote, haven't tried it yet, but I can't find it for the sgs2.

I second sgp screen protectors. Excellent and easy to apply. Just be wary of doing the matte option if your looking for anti glare... It will cause it to have a grainy look that is very annoying... Their normal protector is excellent.

I found out the same thing, only after putting the phone in my pocket with my keys. The screen with scratch so I highly recommend that you put on a screen protector
I'm glad this thread hasn't gone retarded with a bunch of assumptions and stuff.
Gorilla glass is just a name. other tempered/reinforced glass can be designed the same way or even better but is not called "gorilla glass".
Like others have mentioned, the glass is pretty sturdy and can protect it from scratches from most day to day objects and items that you use. However, sand in your pocket or on the table can scratch the **** out of the glass because it is compiled by a lot of different minerals.. shoot there might be even diamond in it.
I'm sure most active users on XDA take care of our devices and will be annoyed by the smallest scratches on the screen, so I would recommend a screen protector. It definitely helps prevent scratches and add an extra amount of "cushion" from small drops to prevent shattering your screen.
BTW I was fortunate enough to buy inexpensive screen protectors (like 5 for $4) on amazon and they turned out to be like the SGP ones. They were actually some of the best screen protectors I ever used, it felt identical to the glass. Just a thought if you decide to go the cheap route that there are some good and inexpensive generic ones.

Hi,
I am looking for a screen protector for the Galaxy Nexus that feels as near as possible to glass? I like the glassy feeling while using the device and I would hate to have something rubbery instead. I understand the value of a screen protector and I am looking for something that feels the least like rubber i.e. more like glass and less like rubber.
Thank you,

Thanks Alex1123 Yes, I am looking for a "tempered glass" screen protector for the Galaxy Nexus. Do you have any clue who sells them.
I went to the SGP website and they clearly have a Tempered Glass screen protector for the IPhone 4 e.g. http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/ap...tor-glas-t-premium-tempered-glass-series.html
On the other hand they do not seem to have this for the Galaxy Nexus e.g. http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/google.html this is their list. They have other screen protectors - but not the tempered glass version which I want.
Do you know of any other brands that sell tempered glass screen protector for the Galaxy Nexus Phone?

Dear Big Cam
While we are waiting for EvilOlivE to receive his screen protector I wanted to make two points:
First, the link posted above http://www.xgearlive.com/products/android/samsung/fantom mentions that the screen protector has a thickness of 0.4 mm. I am not experienced with smart phones, so do you think this would still cause a problem.
Second, the article at http://www.droid-life.com/2012/06/1...ectors-for-the-galaxy-nexus-up-for-pre-order/ mentions that you should use coupon code NEXUSFTW to get $5 off. This is just in case someone else is ordering.

Ive been using screen protector since i got my nexus, early this year. but after seeing my friend who has a HTC Sensation, with no screen protection for over a year, and his screen is really scratch less, made me rip off the protector and just enjoy my device ! now myself im advertising for everyone to remove their screen protectors , by showing all my friends around with a live example how good the screens are already by taking car key and sliding it over my screen multiple times and no scratches are left on the screen.

I wouldnt have done that if I were you. Our phone's screens are strong, but not as strong as gorilla glass. I dropped my nexus 4 days after I got it with no case and screen protector. They were still getting shipped from online. It dropped from average chair height and fell out of my lose pockets from my basketball shorts. No damage or anything on the phone except a 4 very little dings and a scratch near the front camera. I was lucky it wasnt on the camera or on the screen. It was on the black border. I'd say our screens are 3/4 or 2/3 as stong as the average phone with gorilla glass.
Well....just be careful wut ever u do Cuz.....a co worker from A friend of mine bought his nexus online had it for a week.....dropped it....a thin ....long crack resembling a backwards "c" formed on his screen......he paid 500-ish.....total for his phone....I paid him 200.....everything..phone..box ..cables....brand new everything...just the crack on the screen....be care full...might be scratch resistant....but not too sure Bout shocks....

Wow, $30 for screen protector! One would almost want a screen protector for this screen protector at this price . I also wonder (when it ships) how it would play with curved glass on Galaxy Nexus. The curve is not big but glass is not as flexible as regular film.
For what it matters, I went with real cheappo $4 for 5 film and I like it better, sensitivity wise then naked screen. It's smoother and finger can glide on it without getting stuck like on glass. Plus I can attest for anti-glare quality. I can finally run my Nexus in the car at 25% brightness even in the broad daylight and can still clearly see the screen.

Well, watching the video of the one for the iphone, it does bend a bit. So maybe that will help.

The guy from the company who makes these posted on the forum (the thread was closed because of the advertising rule) showing the a glass protector for a smaller screen applied on the Nexus to prove that it works with the curved screen. It seems to work fine.
My only reservation with the protector right now is how well the edges would work and how easy it is to apply. Normally I would buy a pair of protectors in case I screw the first one up, but at the price I would have to think twice about it.

On their website, they say there will be cut out for LED. I assume that is for the notification. And I watched a YouTube video where a guy demonstrates applying it and also taking it off with his nails. It seems very easy enough with no residues left on the screen.

If you put on your iPad and you're happy with it, then the HD shield doesn't suck. You just botched somewhere and ruined the installation. Take it to a Zagg kiosk in the mall, and have them apply it.

After trying everything, and I mean all of them... I fell in love with the iSmooth protector. It's thicker than the normal protector, which aids in the install. Plus, if you leave em a good review on amazon they send you three extra protectors for free. I find the fingerprints to show up less than with the sgp ultra crystal as well. YMMV

+1 to ismooth, after trying most waterbase and film base, this is actually the best screen protector i have ever tried. It actually makes the screen better. Hard to scratch (which is unlike i have never seen for a film protector) and almost invisible to detect is on.
Wet screen protector is NOT recommended for its gooey surface which can interfere S-Pen.
I used Realook and Glassil, and they work fine (the latter seems to have much better scratch resistance).
I may try Clarivue tempered glass in the future.
yea
i hate screen protectors
I had the Zagg HD on my S3, ripped it off after a week. The 'self healing' is crap. There were so many indentions on the screen from my fingernails or from miscellaneous things in my pocket. Just ordered a Mime tempered glass screen protector so I'll see how that goes. I've never used the glass protectors before.

Gloves? Thats a new one for me.
Ive used cheap screen protectors from eBay and they really suck after a week of normal use. Ive had my ismooth for almost a month and its great, only complain is the top edge didnt adhere. But for 3pack,lifetime warranty and under $10 its a great deal. Got it on amazon prime tho. Ebay might have them too.

How's the smudging? I'm using the one I got with my diztronic and it loves fingerprints... I would ditch the protector, but I will be passing the phone on in a month or two (when s4 and One arrive). Want to keep it clean!

Xgear glass on ebay: A $35 screen protector?!!
Maybe a better question is what is the best bang for the buck in screen protectors for the S3?
I just saw an impact resistant screen protector on Kickstarter: Rhino Shield. Looks pretty tough. I've backed it for my S3.
Go naked! I work with metal all day and haven't had a screen protector on since I got my s3 (September'12) and there is nothing even resembling a scratch. Finger prints and smudges wipe off far easier too.

Metal may not scratch the gorilla glass 2 screen, but sand deffinetly does (you can check the innumerous gorilla glass reviews). So, for people like me, who live close to the beach and often bring their phones to the beach, a Screen Shield is a prety good idea.
all screen protector are garbage
