Best CLEAR screen protector ???

I need a really good clear screen protector that isn't crap. Something that will last and I don't mind spending $20+ on it. Any suggestions?

I got the XO skin case fit. It's cut more around the edge so you can use a case with it and not have to worry about it peeling the skin. It's awesome so far. It doesn't have the orange peel effect like invisible shield which I used on my Incredible and Blackberrys back in the day. Gave the XO skin a try a just to see and it worked out great. If you use SPRINTXO as the promo code you get a discount. I did, but that was about a month ago. Could still work though. With the code it's like 14 bucks I think.

Thanks, I'll give it a try, but before I do I'd like to see what other people suggest, thanks for your suggestion though!

+1 for XO Skins. I use the regular one and it works with a case, it all depends on the case that you use. Even the regular goes from edge to edge except for the bottom, it leaves a small gap of uncovered space

Even though XO skins is really good, you might dislike the rubbery feeling of the screen protector. So far most screen protectors are either too short, has orange peels, thin, oil conductor, or rubbery. I don't think there is a dry application matte protector that covers the entire screen (will have somewhat of the edge peel effect, but cases like diztronics or otterbox should lip over it). I've ordered baselant couple days ago, and I'll see how that goes, and I've heard good things about martin fields, but they're really expensive.

The screen protector that comes with the otterbox commuter is clear and smooth for operation. No discoloration or orange peel effect like I had with the I shield on it. a good option if you don't already have a descent case.

Awesome, I just ordered that case last week lol. It's coming in the 2nd so I will see it then, does it cover the whole front or JUST the screen?

+1 For XO Skins as well. Mine fits great, has no orange peel. Here is their video if you missed it. It fills in scratches and hides smudges really well.

I am using SGP Ultra oleophobic dry protector and Diztronic v3 case and have been real happy with the setup.
I had used the Verizon clear dry protector and it's hard to wipe off oil and smudges.

Sadly, this is pretty much the state of the GNex screen protectors now. You really gotta ask yourself what you like to have and what you hate.
Dry (clear/matte) - large margin around the screen
Wet - slight rubbery
I went with wet (XO skin) because I don't use swype, so the slightly rubbery texture doesn't bother me at all but having a visible border of the dry protector does. And there's no orange peel effect like Zagg.

Just ordered some boxwave cleartouch screenprotectors yesterday. Will report back when they get here.

I have always use Zagg invisible shields for every phone and tablet I have had no no issues at all. The only phone it didn't look good on was the nexus one. I just went to Best Buy and got one for the Galaxy Nexus and applied it perfect. I hope that the one sold at BB is supposed to fit the GSM model. I didn't have any issues except a very small amount at the top but not sure if that's normal because I think they are the same size.

I recommend Martin fields. It's a dry screen protector, edge to edge, and clear.I got it for $15.99 + free shipping from expansys.

Agreed. I've just took mine off and washed it under the cold tap (had dust under the screen but only just decided to remove it after 2 months or so) and it stuck back down with no trouble at all.

I had a zagg and it was okay but took a hit and luckily saved the screen which is what it is there for. I had to replace it because of the gash it suffered but the screen was fine. I had already ordered a ghost armor screen kit and decided to try it instead while waiting for my zagg replacement. Needless to say the zagg is still unopened in the box. The ghost armor has less orange peel and I also like the way the cutouts were done. The zagg looks cheap and sloppy around the speaker and camera and leaves the glass exposed. It is also prone to peeling in that area. The ghost armor does scratch more than the zagg because I think the zagg is softer. So that is the trade-off for less orange peel. The zagg does seem to heal itself a tad better but its not enough for me to put it back on.

Thanks for the photos.
And I think we could more or less reach the conclusion that if anyone wants full screen coverage for GNex, he/she has to go for the wet protectors because of the curved screen.

When I said no full coverage, I mean the visible margin around the phone because the screen protector is cut smaller than the screen. Thanks for sharing though. Its cutting is better than SGP already judging by the photos.

[Review] REALook Crystal Clear screen protector

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008EQZ2LE/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
Packaging:
Not just thrown haphazardly into an envelope and sent out, the screen protectors (you get two in each package) are enclosed in a thin, sealed, very low profile, textured plastic container/envelope. One side of the container is perforated and has a tab you're supposed to pull to open it up....I pulled it and the damn tab just ripped off. Ended up getting an envelope opener to open it up. Once inside you'll find the protectors, both inside their own plastic sleeve, a cleaning kit inside a plastic sleeve and a cleaning cloth, also inside a plastic sleeve, as well as an installation instruction sheet, printed on a thin plastic "page".
Impression:
Wow! From the quality packaging to the cleaning kit, to how the items were packaged inside the "envelope", the impression here was quality. I felt like I had paid a premium price for a premium product when in reality I only paid about $6.50 per protector and all the other goodies it came with.
Installation:
I'm sure you're all well aware how to install a dry application screen protector so I'll spare you the obvious. I will say that I was able to lay it in place with just 2 small bubbles, and they were easily remedied by rubbing on it with the microfiber cloth, no squeegee needed. The cuts are precision and spot on, no jagged edges or not-quite-straight cuts here. The only cut outs are for the home button and the earpiece speaker, all the sensors are covered. When installed properly, the protector is flush with the top edge of the earpiece speaker and the bottom of the home button and ever-so-slightly wider than the screen itself. The rest of the face of the phone, above, below and to the sides of the areas described above are left uncovered. Can't say I really care for that, but I knew that going in. However, the clarity, lack of rainbow effects and smoothness of the protector is letting me overlook those things. This thing is absolutely gorgeous! If you were the cover the outer edges of the protector there is now way you'd be able to tell one was even installed. It's perfectly smooth as glass!
Final thoughts:
While i'm not exactly thrilled with the fact that the protector doesn't cover the whole face, the impressive clarity and fact that it doesn't take away from the beauty or clarity of the display makes that acceptable. The screen has a little "grab" to it immediately after install, even after cleaning it with the included alcohol wipe, but I imagine it'll be smooth as the naked screen after a little use. The outer edges of the protector don't look like they're adhered very well but I've rubbed on them as much as I could and no progress. If I could get the edges to lay down and adhere nicely as everywhere else, this would be perfect. But because of that I can only rate this a 3.5 out of 5....it's an eye catcher and possibly a dust magnet and takes away from what otherwise is a very nice product.
No problem recommending it, but if perfection is what you want, look elsewhere.

Glad to see someone else likes Realook.
They make a great product, don't know why they don't get the pub SPG gets.

Its only been on a couple hours now and already it feels like the naked screen. My only gripe, the edges....grrrrr
via Galaxy S III

I got mine in today. Installation was fairly easy (no more difficult than any other dry application). I'm very impressed with the clarity! I used the Zagg HD and Skinomi since getting my GS3. After installing the Realook, I'm simply astounded by how good the screen looks! I guess the only down-side is that it's not a "self-healing" type of material like the others. The package says it's scratch resistant with a 3H hard coating. Gorilla Glass, for comparison, is a 9. I expect that it will eventually get scratched up, but the package comes with 2 and it's not that expensive. Personally, I'd rather by more screen protectors every few months to keep the clarity than settle for the self-healing ones that will stay on forever.

Well, sad to say but the REALook has to go
Clarity is wonderful, feel is that of the naked screen, but its not sealing around the edges at all and is clearly lifted. It looks tacky, will attract dust and just isnt cutting it for me. I'm gonna give the Moshi iVisor a chance before I go back to wet application options.
Such a shame cause this protector looks and feels great otherwise

Yeah, just like when handling PCB boards, only touch the edges of the unstuck side (if you have to).

Mine is doing the same thing, fine on the sides and peeling up at the top and bottom. Using it with an otterbox commuter.

Packaging:
Minimalist cardboard packaging printed with Soy ink (as stated on the package). Very easy to open with the pull tab on the back. Inside is a cardboard flap that protects the screen protector and included cleaning cloth. As for that cloth...what a joke! It's a nice material but it's roughly the size of 50 cent piece or silver dollar. It's so small it's tough to keep two fingers on it without letting them touch the screen as you're trying to clean it. Once I seen that cleaning cloth I though "oh boy, what did I get myself in to?"
Installation:
Before proceeding with the install I did a dry fit to see how it lines up to get an idea of how it was going to fit. It covers the whole face of the phone all the way to the edge. The cut outs are precise and form fitting and there are two "cutouts" for the capacitive buttons as well. The fact that this protector is able to be removed and replaced at will, guarantees a bubble free installation, took alot of the stress out of the procedure. You don't have to worry about how or where you hold it for fear of getting finger prints on the backside of it since it's the same color as the phone except for where it covers the screen. Simply peel off the protective sheet, line it up at the top with the protector slightly bent in the middle so once it's lined up you can roll it down into place. Once it's in place, use the cleaning cloth to rub all around the colored portion to ensure a good adhesion.
Final Thoughts:
It looks like you don't have a screen protector on it at first glance. If you have a white phone you're well aware of the light bleed around the capacitive buttons, this fixes that. Install took all of 20 seconds and resulted in no dust or bubbles under it. The reason it guarantees no bubbles is because there is no adhesive or other adhering properties on the area that covers the screen. The "adhesive" is only on the colored area. The protector adheres nicely to the phone including the beveled areas of the screen but beware when using this with a case. I have an Incipio Silicrylic Dual Pro and because the silicone sleeve barely wraps around the edge of the face of the phone, when you press the volume or lock button it pushes the sleeve against he side of the protector and lifts it I have a Fosmon S style TPU case and checked it out to see how far it's edges wrap around the face of the phone and it looked like it wrapped over it more, but because it's such a tight fit I decided to remove the back cover of the phone before installing it and that worked out perfectly! The phone is nice and snug and it doesn't cause the protector to lift when pressing the buttons since it actually overlaps the protector instead of butting up against it's side.
As for clarity....well, this is an AG protector which stands for anti-glare so i'm sure you all know what that means. The standard grainy effect is there, although it's not as bad as most, and does take away some of the clarity of the screen. It's mostly noticeable on light backgrounds but if you're looking at it close enough you can see it no matter what. One thing that worried me is that there would be an obvious sign that the protector is not adhered to the screen itself...there's not. The protector is nice and smooth to swipe across and even the "openings" over the capacitive buttons are smooth, that's because they aren't actually openings it's just that they aren't colored.
Overall the product is good but it degrades the display quality and limits the cases you can use with it. But it also covers the whole screen, is washable and reuseable, eliminates the light bleed around the capacitive buttons, significantly reduces glare and fingerprints, ensures no bubbles and makes installation a breeze. Only 2 negatives, but they are big deals to alot of us so weight the pros and cons before you go give up your $25 for it

thanks for the great review.

My last hope for this protector is that it plays nicely with the Seidio Surface Garnet Red case I just ordered for it

Good review but I returned mine. I wasn't as good as I hoped for personally. I used it for a good week and a half.

Hopefully the X gear one has beveled edges.

It doesn't fit with the seidio case. I have the surface case in black. When you slip the case on with the protector on, it squeezes the edges of the screen protector together causing one edge to lift making a slight bubble. I couldn't stand the anti glare so I ended up returning the screen protector. Made the screen look blurry. The screen looks 10x better without it. Also wasn't worth $25 to me. It did feel nice but can't say it looked nice though.
You didn't go wrong with the seidio case though. It's a nice case. I've been using it for the past 2 weeks.

Yeah, with someone confirming it doesn't play nicely with the Seidio Surface case, mine is going back too

I have a question. How thick is this protector? The Xgear version is only .4mm thick. That's about half the thickness of a human fingernail!! I was worried about it interfering with the home button but it should be fine considering how thin it is!

MIME Feather Glass (Screen Protector)

Hi all,
the MIME Feather Glass is out!
http://mimeusa.com/product/htc-one-feather-glass-tempered-glass-screen-protector/
The MIME Ghost Glass screen protector got some nice reviews for the HTC One. Does anyone have an opinion about the Feather Glass?

nice, at least a company who doesnt desert htc one like SGP, and they ship to UK. ill be getting one soon

ordered!!!
Thanks for the update on the feather screen protector. I ordered it and I will be sure to update this thread when I see how it is!

ordered!!! :good::good::good:

Ha my Ghost just arrived today and I love it. If I only knew a few days ago I may have waited but it Looks like the only difference is $27.95 and .15mm compared to the original $24.95 @ .32mm. No biggiie.
Comparing my ghost to the zagg which I had for months. The zagg is like rubbing fingers across my hairy legs, the ghost is like rubbing my beautiful wife's silky smooth thighs and butt :good:

Damn, wish I saw this thread first before replying to the Ghost Glass thread lol, but yeah, just ordered one to replace my broken Ghost Glass (I tried re-applying it after removing the review unit of the Mongrel Glass screen protector I received a few months back). MIME actually gave me a 50% off coupon for the Ghost but I noticed that they just released the Feather Glass so tried to use the coupon for that, and BANG. It worked! So now I'm just waiting for this new baby to arrive and hopefully it is just as good (or even better) than the Ghost Glass.

I ordered mine today as well. I'm very excited. IMHO I think tempered glass screen protectors are the smartphone innovation of the year! Im so glad I don't have to use that orange peel rubber feeling zagg crap anymore! I will give my thorough review here when I receive it.

I've got Feather Glass on the way as well. A case (Ballistic SG) should be waiting for me when I get home this evening. I'm trying to decide whether to put the case on or just wait until the screen protector arrives and do them both once and for all.

Please post pictures when you guys have it installed

Got it!!
So I recieved my Feather glass screen protector over the weekend. It is amazinggg
I cannot stress it enough. I dont know how to take good pictures right now since all I have is my phone.. which the glass is connected to..so yup haha
But I will say this
1) packaging is secure and very neat.
2) It comes with:
1 lint wipe thing
1 Anti dust screen applicator ( for before installation to remove dust off the screen)
1 Glass screen protector in its own slip to ensure no scratching or breaking
1 box with a cool mime face on the front
The instructions are decent in providing application pictures and is really not hard as long as you make sure to remove all of the dust off the screen. I used a alcohol based wipes which reallly help with removing the dust and making sure dust stays off while you place the protector on. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006CRYSZ8/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I placed the screen protector on very carefully and was nervous but as soon as it went on it started to natureally adhere to the screen. I got it in pretty good position and saw one bubble in themiddle of the screen. I sort of like pushed it out with my fingers and now the screen protector has no bubbles! The corners all stick down and it really feels smooth. The edges are not sharp and are rounded so has not to cut your fingers. The protector just feels like there is a ridge where the speaker grill and meets the phone. I had some gap there in the first place (zero gap my ass!) But it isnt a big deal at all
The screen is responsive and very smooth and really is great. Ive been searching for a screen protector for quite awhile and never wanted anything that wouldnt feel smooth like glass. This is so thin that it is barely noticeable and I cant say enough how great it is (so far! mind you)
PLUS I have a UAG black case and I put it on and it meets right where the sides of the protector meet so it is perfect even with the case.
sorry for no pics but if I can do it later I will

That's awesome man. I'm still waiting for mine to arrive here in Australia. Hopefully not too far off because my Ghost Glass is really playing up on me now.

My Feather Glass was waiting for me when I got home. Maybe I just got lucky but for me, it went on almost perfectly. I say "almost" because of one tiny bubble that's not visible when the screen is on. I didn't experience the problems with getting the corners to stick as some other posters have mentioned.
So with a Ballistic SG case and the screen protector, my One is swaddled up tight. I think I'll go throw it down a flight of stairs just to see what happens (yeah, right!).

I had the glas slim screen protector for the last few months and it eventually gave its life up to rubbing along sand at the beach. It had a long gash and time for a new protector. I picked up the mime feather glass from the company's website and put it on last night. I've used many protectors but none has had a separate dust sheet that the feather had. I washed my hands, laid out the dust thing and glass. I cleaned the glass with the supplied cloth, then use the dust sheet. I worried it would leave something sticky, but nothing but a dustless glass. I pealed the protector off the feather and just placed it on the HTC. It's pretty cool the way the feather adhesive flows from the middle out. But I goofed up, I was off on the bottom. So I carefully pulled it up, careful not to touch the sides. Tried again and perfect. No bubbles and perfect fit with a Poetic atmosphere case. So the verdict? Love the touch of the feather, just like the naked HTC screen. Smooth and great feel. I feel confident it will protect my screen and keep it as its meant to be, smooth.
I saw some folks asking for a pic, hope this helps.

Is the glass anti fingerprint?

It has the oleophobic coating so yes, it's somewhat anti-fingerprint. It's not nearly as bad as my old Thunderbolt.

i am ordering one and it says .15mm how is that possible its like paper thin?

Yep. It's pretty, pretty, pretty..... pretty thin. These guys say they're glaziers so I suppose they are adept at lapping the glass to this level.

Best case and curved glass screen protector combo

Looking for a good curved tempered glass protector (tried 2 different ones and they've both gotten dust under them in less than 48hrs and the corners have the annoying sticking/clicking issue) and a case that won't push on the glass as I suspect that's my biggest issue, my current case pushes against the glass protectors i've tried and doesn't allow them to fully adhere.
Currently have the spigen rugged armor on my phone, it was just the first one i've tried (and we all know it takes trying several before we find just the right one) so let me know what case/glass combo you've got that's working perfectly for you!

My Pixel 2 XL hasn't arrived yet but from my experience with my S7 edge I never found a good curved screen protector. Unfortunately the curves mean that adhesion to the screen is terrible, touch response problems and/or dust under the screen is unavoidable.

I have Amfilm updated version and Spigen Neo Hybrid. They are perfectly matched, with no lint traps along any of the edges. Only part of the phone with no protector coverage is the small gap between the speakers and the case lip.

I got a weird no brand NXET 3D curve and it's not that bad, waiting for a VRS Design black case and an IntelliArmor that should be a worthy combo

I had to abandon my first screen protector because my Spigen Rugged Armor was pushing on the sides, causing it to click and lift up. I'm waiting on my IntelliGlass 3D protector to ship. Hopefully that ones a tiny bit narrower as I like my base, but would like to get a protector on as well.

Whitestones are good on the Samsung. Though the price is high and the install is a little tougher. Hopefully we get a Whitestone for the 2 xl.

amFilm Tempered Glass paired with the Suensan TPU case is absolutely perfect, in my opinion. The coverage is as close to 100% as you are going to get. The amFilm protector (version 2) has excellent adhesive and doesn't get smudged up with fingerprints. The Suensan TPU case is a very firm fit with excellent responsive buttons. And I was pleased to see that using squeeze for assistant doesn't push the case into the protector.
I HIGHLY recommend this combo.

amFilm Proector: (Ignore the bad reviews. They are all from people who got version 1, like I initially did, which had issues. My v2 replacement has been absolutely perfect.)

Give it a bit. I have heard a lot of people talking about dust getting under those as time goes on.

Eh, in time that's bound to happen with any curved protector that only adheres around the edges. Dust always makes its way in at some point. This has been the case on my last 2 phones (OnePlus 3 and Pixel XL), no matter what brand I used, including Spigen, Orzly, amFilm etc.
With that said, the Version 1 amFilm for the 2 XL had terrible adhesive and the protector barely stayed on the phone. Within 2 days I had dust underneath. The only reason why I bothered with another one was because it developed a crack on the top corner, out of nowhere, and they sent me a replacement for free. The Version 2 is a whole different story and is much improved. It has the stickiest adhesive I've used on any curved TG protector in the past 2 years and has the most difficult to see dot matrix I've seen on any prior protector.
Overall, it is a great option and I'd buy it again if I had to. I'm almost 2 weeks in with no dust underneath and while I know it's inevitable that some will make its way in, I don't anticipate it happening any time soon.

Spigen Rugged Armor paired with Moshi IonGlass

I'm running with the Diztronic and a temporary Zagg. All of these first-run TGSPs are horrible and rainbow like crazy but I don't think I can do any better at the moment.
This dot matrix craze has poisoned the entire market.

Where did you get the screen protector? Their website says they are coming soon

I don't know what you mean. I just checked and it's available on their website.
I got it from local TELUS (canadian mobile provider) store. TGSP has adhesive just around borders but it's great and most important... no dot matrix.

I'd love to know more about the Moshi molded TGSP for the P2XL. I've got a Zagg / Invisible Shield on mine now -- installed courtesy of Verizon (while I choked on the price), along with a Speck Presidio case. The phone is protected, but the Invisible Shield is NOT the right fit for the nice curved screen - it's flat, can't extend to the curved edges, catches dust, etc. However it DOES protect the screen for the moment.
Anyway - the Moshi protectors are here:
https://www.moshi.com/moshicom-ionglass-screen-protector-pixel-2-xl
I'd just love to see some reviews before dropping another $35 on yet another accessory. Does the curved shape match the edges of the P2XL properly? How do the cutouts fit? What's it like having only the edges stuck down (is that how it works?) and do you see gaps in the middle?
It shouldn't be so hard / painful to get a properly fitting TGSP for a new flagship phone like this!
