Zagg New screen protector

Great news. just hung up from Zagg CS regarding the possibility of a matte finish screen protector. He informed me that today BestB will be launching there new smudge-proof screen protector. It's not even available on their website!. My locale BB was aware of it but hasn't received it yet!

awesome, let us know when you get one?

I returned my Zagg for a refund. Same quality as every other cheap stick on "film that protects military helis" out there. Bad orange peel effect and pretty sticky. I personally have found the ones from ATT to be the best 100% slick and absolutely no image distortion protectors. I put a bit of car wax on it at work once or twice a week for ultra sleek and slick feel

Zagg makes screen protectors for ATT devices. That doesn't mean that all protectors sold by ATT are produced by zagg

True however I've asked in the store and AT&T CS and in both cases they have assured me that their private label (AT&T brand) is Zaggs.

No wonder I don't like those either. Zagg is by far the worst screen protector I have ever used.

So if we've got a current "orange peel" one, think they'd let you return it for one of the matte finishes?

^ +1 Hopefully their new one will be better

IMO
the glass is quite resistant, why cover it up with a SUCK screen protector ?
u will probably get something better the first chance u get !

Enjoy your scratched phone bro, leave this topic to people who care about screen protectors kthxbai

Mine is 5+. It's the fingerprints that drive me insane That's why I can't wait for this one.

I have always used an Invisible shield, and I love it. I can't wait for the new one to come out, which I didn't even know about until now

Thanks for the info. I had no idea they were coming out with a new version. I've never really had an issue with my current Zagg shield, but will upgrade once its time.

I'm with u

Give it some sand. You'll see why.

I hated my original Zagg. It felt like a major upgrade to switch to the 3 pack from the AT&T store.
Maybe the new Zagg won't suck as much.

noob ? is there any store near los angeles ca were i can buy a zagg protector. or is it just online

I think both Best Buy and AT&T carry the original, which sucks BTW.
I really prefer the ones that come in the three pack from AT&T to the Zagg Invisible Shield. The Zagg is thick and rubbery feeling, it slows down your finger and messes up your accuracy when using Swype. It also look bad - picks up finger oils smudges and has an orange peel texture.

[Q] Anyone bought a screen protector yet?

looks like zagg has one: http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/motorola-xoom-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
anyone buy this or others?

i bought the one from verizon. its 3 pack glossy screen protector.

I'd like to find a screen protector that tones down the gloss a little bit.
Is the pack from Verizon like the Droid version (the Verizon branded ones)? Those were about $10 cheaper than the ones at Best Buy, and work a lot better, too.

The ones that Verizon carries are typically the plastic stuff for anti-glare/gloss. Best Buy only carries invisible shields

Anybody recommend one that gives a nice matte finish?

Anyone tried a ZAGG invisibleshield or their competitor Skinomi TechSkin? They are both that propeller rubber. I think I am going to order a skinomi because this screen is bull****. It attracts way too many fingerprings and just lookss disgusting when the screen is off. I wash my hand regularly and it makes me feel dirty
The reason I'm choosing skinomi is that I had a zagg on my HTC EVO, and like many people I tossed it in the bin after a week when the tackiness became intolerable.

Agreed. I had the same issue on my phone and got the Invisible Shield and that made a huge difference. Ordered the same for my Xoom, full body, which I hope will have the same results.

I've also ordered a zagg invisible shield, but just the screen protector. I've had good experiences with the Invisible Shield on my devices (G1, N1, N2, iPad) and expect the product to work well on the Xoom, too.
I do still keep a microfiber cloth around to wipe off the scrud that does inevitably accumulate.

This might be a matter of taste but Zagg skins makes the screen look horrible. Its got like an orange tint to it. I only use the full body skin with some other superclear screen protector. Also invisheild gots like little groves, its not 100% flat.
I got it on my Nexus S and its looks like crap.

Coupon codes...
Hey.
If you're planning on getting a ZAGG shield, you can use the promo code 'ZAGG20' to get 20% off. Working as of 20 minutes ago. The full-body is originally $39.99, but comes down to $31.99 with the code; plus free shipping until late March!
If you're looking to get the Skinomi spin-off, use promo code 'get25' to receive 25% off. The full-body is only $24.99, and with the code it comes down to $18.71! I just ordered one myself. This will be my first Skinomi. I've always went with ZAGG, and have no complaints. But 40 bucks is too much for my taste. Hopefully, the Skinomi works just as well. Same material anyway...

This is great to hear. I love what they put out. They are the only protectors buy. If you put them on corectly you will not even know you have it on.

I used the code and ordered just the screen protector, thanks very much. I love the Invisible Shield on my Nexus One, I hope this compares in quality

Anyone have experience with the Skinomi skins? I've been a big fan of bestskinsever but they don't have one out for the Xoom yet. Much prefer theirs over Zagg. Might consider trying the Skinomi, can anyone recommend them?

I got the Skinomi skin on my incredible and I couldn't believe it. I'll never use those cheap verizon ones again. If it gets scratched it "heals" itself somehow. If you dig your fingernail in it you can feel it give almost like a hard rubber. But when you slide your fingers across the screen it's smooth. I just ordered one for my xoom.
The installation was scary at first because it's a very wet process. You have to get the screen, your fingers, and the protector wet and then wait for it to dry for a few hours. I was scared at first but my incredible doesn't have a scratch and I've had it for 9 months now. I didn't hesitate dropping the $15 to get the xoom protection. No yellowing, it sticks well, and has a lifetime warranty. I highly recommend it.

Thanks for the info on the Skinomi. Think I'll give it a shot...just need to decide whether I want just the screen protector or go with the full body or carbon fiber options. Typically I just get a screen protector...but the back of the Xoom seems like pretty scratch-able.

Full body screen protector?

Well, does anyone know where i can get a full body screen protector? Essentially like the invisible shield, but.. of cheaper quality. i cant afford to pay 30 dollars every time. Im looking for something under 5 dollars.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Extreme guard3. Amazon.

That isnt a full body one though. it just covers the screen.

At amazon, search"samsung captivate screen protector"
There is just a sp for $1, but keep scrolling down and look for the $5 one, which is the whole kit.
And I was wrong, its just extreme Guard, not extreme guard 3.

Fwiw, zagg makes a full kit. Its a little pricey, but its a lifetime warranty. They will replace, free of charge, when they are shot.

Hmm. i currently have the zagg invisishield. What do you mean by replace if its shot?

Its part of their warranty. Lifetime. If it starts peeling off, not sticking, etc just call them and they should send you another one. They do ask that you send back the old one.

7.00. its the kind you apply with water. I ordered it when i first got my captivate (1.5 yrs ago) and i haven't even had to replace the creen protector part yet. of course I have a bodyglove case around the rest for extra protection.

Zagg Screen Protector questions

Hey guys! I now have Zagg installed on the front of my phone.
1) How long do I have to let it sit and dry for I can stick it in my pocket?
2) How long do I have to let it sit before I can stick a case on my phone?
SO far I like the feel to it! It is also the HD version and looks like it covers the whole screen. So 2 big pluses in my book! So the corners peel easy? This is my first time really using their product. So far so good and no air bubbles that I can see. Some will need to dry out I am sure over the next few days.
Thanks!

I have the zagg HD and I messed it up a bit by putting my case on it too early. I would say let it dry for a few hours before putting a case on it. If your pocket is empty, you should be ok, but to be safe, wait a few hours before you do that too.

Great! I installed it yestersday so its all most been 24 hours. I will prolly wait like 48 hours before the case just to be on the safe side.
What cases are good for the Zagg front only? Let me know if you have any reconditions!

I bought my SIII at Bestbuy and the clerk put the zagg invisible shield on it. He took all of several minutes to install the shield, then put a rocketfish hard case on the phone. No problems. The hard case is a two piece case though. The top snaps into the bottom. The clerk did a good job with the shield. No bubbles, very smooth and nice fit. I never cared for screen shields before, but the zagg HD invisible shield is a very nice product. I started using the phone immediately with no issues with the screen protector.

I saw the Rocketfish cases too. I'm looking for something with a little more protection I think. Would love an OB Defender but they are not out yet. ><

Are you guys happy with Zagg? I have used it before, and have known plenty of others who have used it...
I am baffled as to how they stay in business (good marketing?). It's expensive, tacky, and has the worst orange peel effect by far of any soft screen protector. Also, the viewing quality quickly deteriorates compared to competitive products.
Products like Steinheil, phantomskinz, ect... are superior, and cheaper IMO.

i am happy with the HD version on my SGSIII. Also liked it on my iphone.
And remember the life time warranty replacement applies to the orange effect. just make sure you keep the old one so you can send it back. or they will charge you the full price for replacement.

So far I have no orange peel. Its clear as can be! Nice and smooth too.

I only stay because if I need a new one all it costs me is a stamp, envelope and 3.99. No matter what happens to my IS that is all it costs. I will check into the others you listed if I remember them when I get a new phone. If it isn't the same to get it replaced then I'm going back to Zagg.

XtremeGuard Spartan Tempered Glass Screen Protector

So extremeguard recently came out with their new tempered glass priced at $40 http://www.xtremeguard.com/LG-Google-Nexus-5-Screen-Protectors-p/lg-nexus-5-screen-protector.htm
If you use coupon code HUGE90OFF2 when you buy two or more it will be 90% off, so two screen protectors worth $80 will come down to $8 what a good price! Even if i don't own a nexus 5 just wanted to share with you guys ^^

Out of stock still.

Out of stock and also not by Xtremeguard. $39.99 before "discount"? That's a joke.
If you're in the US you can buy it for $6.99 all the time off of ebay. Yes, slightly more expensive than their 90% off group of 2, but just shows you the ridiculous price Xtremeguard is normally charging for a product that isn't even theirs.

Did yours come in a generic iphone packaging? I was really confused. I thought they sent me the wrong product. I opened it and it does look like it's supposed to but it was just really weird.
Also, if anyone tried, how easy is it to peel off?

I'm using the xtremeguard one right now. Obviously didn't pay 40 bucks for it. Honestly it's my favorite accessory for my phone. The glass feels a bit beveled and it reminds me if the edged on the nexus 4, how they used to be so smooth. I'm sure all the tempered glass protectors feel like this but this is the one I have.

Hmm, interesting. The packaging was completely different for me. Yours looks like the actual packaging from the ebay page. Mine Also says USA126 on it, but it's some generic packaging with an iphone on the front. However, inside everything looks the same as what you got. The pad, protector, cloth, and that same blue sticker. I put on the protector yesterday and so far I do like it a lot. Also, I'm not sure if the sticker was meant for this, but instead of wiping it down with the alcohol pad, I used the sticker to pick up all of the dust before applying the protector and it worked extremely well.

Still out of stock. Might hit up that ebay screen protector.

Does the eBay protector cover side to side or is it rounded off the corners so cases don't pick it up. How's the adhesive on it? Any webbing? Does it stick fully? These eBay protectors aren't always the best. How about the oleophobic coating?

The edges appear to be rounded, they haven't picked up at all with my case. The adhesive is great, no webbing, and it adhered fully. I cleaned the phone VERY well, took off the backing from the screen protector, and gently placed it on the phone. I was surprised that I didn't have to press hard to make it seal, or do the binder clip thing that other people have talked about. I'm very happy with mine, and for $6 it's the best screen protector I have ever bought.

This makes me wish I hadn't bought my full price spigen glasTr. There's no way it's 4 times as good as this.

So far I'm happy with the 6 dollar one I bought. It came in wrong packaging, but the product itself seems fine. I use the nexus 4 replica case and it fits very well. I think I had a bit of spiderwebbing but I pressed on it with my finger and it went away. I did notice a very tiny speck of dust I must have must underneath but its not always visible even though I know where it is. There's seems to be a very small scratch on the bottom and top corner. I'm not sure if that's something underneath but again, it's hardly visible and it's not on the screen part so I don't mind.

It's not bad, I've only had it since May but so far no chips and fits great with both the slim armor and the acase superleggra . Fingerprints do show but they are easy to clean. I forget it's there, it's a ton better than any plastic screen protector and spigens customer support is great. When I installed the first one a corner didn't adhere, not sure if it was my fault but spigen sent me a new one free of charge.
