Case friendly screen protector? - Galaxy S III Accessories

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

Diztronic screen protector.

I got a free on with my tpu case. I'm wondering if it is nice enough to use.
For reference I removed the zagg from my moment because it made the screen grainy.
I removed the zagg from my epic 4G for the same thing
I removed the sprint on from my galaxy s2 because it made the screen blurry. And the feel of the plastic sucked for swype.

I just installed the Zagg HD on my phone. So far it seems nice. I just worry that it may peel easy.
i installed the one from diztronic and didnt really like the feeling for swype.
I'm using one. It does not seem to impact the quality of the screen as it's perfectly clear and shiny (no grain). Mine is a little too wide and it lifts a little bit on the sides (top and bottom are good). Feel is alright, but it does not feel as good as the glass. If anyone knows of a screen protector that has better feel but is as clear as the Diztronic, let me know. You have nothing to lose by trying it for yourself. If you do, let us know how I compares to the others you have used. Which Zagg did you try on your S3? The HD or non-HD?
I just got it in the mail mail today (I work 3rd shift so it came Monday, I ordered it at 1am last thursday Thursday.), I installed it it was perfectly clear. I now use SwiftKey so swyping is no longer an issue. The only screen protector fit perfectly. I did take it off because it had too many bubbles.
Not going to blame Diztronic for this.
I would recommend it for sure.
I never used a protector for the s3 I don't really plan to. I had no protector on my s2 for the entire year I had it. Did the s2 have gorilla glass.?

I have it installed but don't like it. It covers the front camera and smudges super easy. Covering the front camera might be considered a feature but I'd rather it was uncovered along with the light sensors. It doesn't cover the edges if that is improtant to you. Overall, Yes it should protect your screen and is fine enough for free, but I've got a different model on order.
Not a fan of the Diztronic screen protector. Too many bubbles, rough surface to swipe over, and the cleaning cloth they give you actually sheds material if you try to use it.
I love my new Diztronic case but don't like the screen protector. Applied it and took it off in a matter or minutes. Even took some Scotch tape and tried to get the stuff on the screen off and it still had bubbles. Case is great though.

Diztronic and screen protector

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.

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.

best non-glass screen protector?

hey guys. so I had a problem with the Zagg Shield HD...once I got the extended battery and the case for it..it kept lifting up. My wife has her on her phone and it's now got a bunch of marks on it.
So I tried the Spigen glas. protector. looks beautiful but always had sensitivity issues. They sent me a free replacement. still, i'm not enjoying the phone as much and I feel it's down to how I have to press extra hard on the back button and type extra slow...
so, what is the best "old-school" screen protector i can get that won't affect sensitivity but still protects the screen from scratches? I need one that won't go to the edges but also won't just be the screen part...if that makes sense. something like the coverage of the Spigen glas without the sensitivity issues i'm having with the glas.
thanks!
Try the Anzer/Amzer. What ever it is called. I plan on replacing my Spigen Glass screen protector with one of those. I hated my zagg invisible shield HD.

searched Amazon and three versions came up. they all look like they go to the edge of the screen, which is not good with cases on the extended battery. that's why I had to get rid of the Zagg...
any others?
I am just using the one that came with my Diztronic case and I ordered a pack of 3 screen protectors from Amazon for $3.85 (for my wife's GS3). They are all clear, don't mess with the sensitivity, and look great. If I hand my phone to 10 people, 9 of them wouldn't even know that have I have a screen protector on there and the 1 that does know would know because they are looking for it.
I don't know why everyone insists on getting these tempered glass screen protectors or the Zagg-like (rubber feeling) screen protectors that you can't poke a pen or a drill bit through in a YouTube video. All I need is something that will keep my keys from scratching up the screen in my pocket and if it does scratch the screen protector I want to be able to replace it quickly and cheaply. For basically a buck each... You can't go wrong.
I still have the original 'cheap' screen protector on my old Vibrant that my kid is using and it still looks great so I have never needed to change them out. I still have 2 out of the 3 that I bought back when I got that phone so I am ready to go if/when it needs replacing.
Spigen nano clear is good. It came with my case. The edges only go to the edge of the screen so it's good if u have a bulky case. It's also really easy to clean and feels smooth like glass
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
anyone try the Spigen 4H protector?
the nano and clear are 2H, the glas is 8H, this one is 4H and seems to be more like a film but stronger than the other models.
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...axy-s3-screen-protector-steinheil-series.html
I'm looking for a good and cheap screen protector too. I prefer the dry application hard plastic ones (4H), I don't like the tempered glass neither the wet application skins.
I have the SGP Ultra Nano Clear and it's good sp but scratched easily. I had the Ultra Crystal, it was better but the fit wasn't right (too big, caused the edges to peel). I think they fixed its size already, not sure.
My ideal sp would be the curved and clear with 4H hardness and fingers print resist at a price of less than $15 (for 2 ps). I found one from korea - SkinPlayer 3D, but it's more expensive than $15 and can't be found outside korea. there's a topic about it -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856079
I think i'll go with the Ultra Crystal again. unless somebody will recommend a cheaper sp with the same or better quality.
sounds like you're describing the one I posted above in terms of look, hardness, price, etc. but now it's just a question of whether it'll peel on the sides or not...
any other suggestions?
I'm really ITCHING to get rid of this Spigen glas thing...I was ready to order the Nano Optics but the reviews are so mixed for those online I don't want to waste my time and money anymore.
why do local stores only carry Zagg?! ahhhh
Go with the just like glass protector by dba. I just put it on and it feels exactly like the glass.

I did and that's why I asked. I saw talk of different cuts and test versions. I wasn't sure how to order or to make sure I was getting the "better" version...

Currently I'm using ultra nano, pretty good, the only complain could be visibility under the sun.

i appreciate your enthusiasm, but there's a few things that concern me. Spigen makes the glas, and both of them have had horrible sensitivity. second, the curvel crystal makes it sound like it goes to the edges of the phone...and that was my problem with the Zagg Shield HD...the cases were lifting the edges badly.
is either of these things happening to you? do you have a picture of how it looks on the phone?

And I appreciate your skepticism but yes it does go around the curved edges and I have a tpu case on mine and its been on a few days and I don't have any issues with it.

I have the spigen curved one also, no issues at all with sensitivity, not sure where you heard that? It feels really good, like no layer at all. I can't tell you whether it will lift up or not with a case, my case is 2 pieces so it never pushes against the edges..

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.
