Invisibleshield, skinit, or something else...What works better for protecting your phone??
I really love Skinomi, same high quality of Invisible shield but its easier to put on and much much cheaper. They're a smaller company but i really love the quality of their screens and skins. The texture of the skins feel really great and natural. I've bought screens from them on Amazon for G2s and a kindle. They have a lifetime replacement thing that actually seems to work.
InvisibleSHIELD has worked pretty good for me. I've had it on my phone now close to a year with no complaints.
Here's a link to the 20% discount I used when I bought it LINK
I get XtremeGUARD protector for my phone off ebay, they work great and has the same quality as my friend's InvisibleSHIELD
I love the ZAGG Invisible Shields - free replacement is also a huge plus for me when I decide to upgrade to a new device because they'll send me a completely new screen and I usually resell the screen and that covers the cost of a new one.
Best investment I've ever made - especially the full body ones.
ZAGG has been treating my phone well, but skinit is great for computers - I got a red sox one and i love it

That's cool you were able to resell it.
Zagg ftw. I didnt know about the free replacement though, cool.
They give you free replacements? I didn't know that either. 20% off and free replacement...sweeeet
I guess I should prob get something to protect my phone huh
another vote for ZAGG.
Invisible Shield.
Probably because thats the only one I have lol.
When or if it breaks/rips i'll probably get that free replacement thingy or try a different brand. But I would totally recommend getting one soon if ur like me, I have butterfingers lol
No shield works pretty well for me, cheapest too
I've never had anything like this on my phone. Do they have invisibleshields with designs on them?
I've used skinit before, maybe I'll try invisible shield this time around.
I begin use invible shield on my se x10 because after 3weeks of using on glass was some srews..

thanks on this skinomi , just ordered one for my G2 off amazon
I used Bodyguardz on my HD2 and myTouch4g, they give you 2 complete sets for what 1 cost from Zagg.
I bought Best Skins Ever for my G2 and, got 2 cheaper than the Bodyguardz. Both are very good products.
Best Skins Ever has better coverage than the BodyGuardz skin does. BSE runs around $8.99 for full coverage of your phone.
Zagg invisible shield is my choice!!!
Has anyone found a screen protector that is crystal clear? When I say crystal clear, I mean almost unnoticeable. I've tried the ones off eBay, they're never amazingly clear.
My brother has the http://www.powersupportusa.com/ on his iPhone and it is absolutely amazing. It's almost impossible to tell the difference between his to an unprotected iPhone.
Suggestions?
Edit: Looks like I found it. For anyone who's wondering: SGP Ultra Crystal (cheaper on eBay than SGP site)
+1 for SGP !
Try real look it sold on amazon. I have it installed on my Atrix

Martin Fields. But you have to pay more than SGP.
I took a look at Martin Fields. It came out to be $33 shipped for one protector. The price is deadly.
I am using the Steinheil Ultra Crystal for the Atrix and the Zoom and it is as clear as not having a screen protector.

3 bucks from seller belldandy-chan on ebay, shipped from ca. CRYSTAL CLEAR, i am amazed at how unnoticeable it is.

Reporting back with the SGP Crystal.
Ordered mine off eBay on Saturday @ 1pm, shipped @ 3pm, arrived Monday @ 12pm gift-wrapped and with a personal thank you note!
The protector is literally non-existent although it felt pretty thick before I applied it. It made this phone so much better (switching from anti-glare). I never really noticed how nice the screen was because the anti-glare was already on the phone when I bought it refurb from AT&T.
Also, it feels really nice on the fingers, very smooth.
I have to agree, I've had this screen protector on ever since I bought my phone and the quality of it is just amazing.
I'm glad you went with the Steinheil. I am sure you will like it as much as I have. Now I am debating if I should get their Incredible sheild skin for the phone....the carbon fiber looks sick on the Xoom!

How are these chumpies with fingerprint markings?
Well, that is a down side to the product. On one hand you can see VERY clearly...on the other, its like giving a bucket of paint to your kids and expect the wall to be clean by the time you get home...
Im good with my Zagg.Protection is what matters to me and with this one I got plenty of it,everything looks crystal clear

+1 again on SGP.
though sometimes I debate whether I should have gotten the oleophobic
for years (back to the ipod 20Gb) i have never had issues with any of my protectors purchsed off koren vendors on ebay. they are always clear and i get like 3 for 99cents. if you pay more then a few bux for one the companies marketing scheme is working. as long as you apply it correctly (with some water under it and then squeegee it out, its amazingly clear.
check out hk_plaza on ebay
here is a video i made which the protector is on

I got the oleophobic, it works well, seems like there are less fingerprings that usual but that might just be a placebo

I agree with the eBay protectors being good for the price but they are definitely not the same. I can see a clear (NPI) difference between the one on my HTC Aria, eBay and the one currently on my Atrix, SGP Crystal. The eBay distorts some of the light and causes some rainbow-ish color when viewing bright white.
trust me, the $3 protector from belldandy-chan on ebay is hands down the BEST i've had on any phone. i used to pay $10-20 for the expensive protectors and realized how foolish it was when I bought this phone. the image is PERFECT, crystal clear, zero distortion or discoloration, and for $3, I can buy 4 for the same price as an SGP.

I have been buying BoxWave ClearTouch Crystal screen protectors for all of my devices for years, and they are PERFECT.
No solutions, no bubbles, 100% clear, you can clean and re-use them, they are static-cling, they fit perfect, very scratch resistant, etc..
I have these on my Canon 5D MkII camera, my Droid X, and other things.
My Droid X has had the same one on for over a year now when I first got it and it is in near-perfect condition. No I am not a salesperson for BoxWave lol.
Although there are some accessories out now for the 10.1, the screen protectors are not yet. I emailed them and they said they will be soon though.
That FlexSuit case looks cool but I think it's similar to those really cheap ones on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200624247046&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
cheap one ?! LOL
it's the same !

I doubt it's the same. I am sure the BoxWave one is better quality and that the design is slightly different as they usually have higher-quality products. Similar though, yes...
Didn't see it anywhere on the site but do you know if they make screen protectors for it. If you say they are good and aren't to crazy on price, i'd be interested in picking one up.

Yeah they said it will be released soon. Ill be gettin one.
I just bought the armor suit in the mean time. When you get it post a review up on how you like. I'd like to know how it looks and feels.
Since all of the information here has helped me out substantially since receiving my tablet, I wanted to let everyone know what is happening with Boxwave.
I ordered "FlexSuit , Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 P7510, Smoke Grey - Qty: 2" for the I/O model (for a colleague and myself). The package took several days to ship and about 3 weeks to arrive in Vancouver, Canada. The package contained 2 x smoke flexsuits for the Xoom. Upon notifying Boxwave, I was told that it would be corrected soon by cross ship and Boxwave would reimburse me up to $5 USD since I would have to pay for the Xoom cases to be returned. I told them it was unlikely I could return these items for that little from Vancouver, and requested that they send a preauthorized envelope. The support person got back to me a couple of days later letting me know that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 flexsuits had been discontinued and that was the source of the confusion, and said preauthorized shipping from Canada was not a possibility. They could now authorize more than $5 for the shipment.
Anyway, I will have to return the shipment out of my own pocket to have any chance of a refund.
Does anyone know if the antiglare screen protector dulls the screen's color or output? I have the Invisible Shield, but has its corners messed up from the media dock. It also seems to pick up little "dimples" over time. For some reason, my Evo 4G kept getting the same dimples over time and done know what causes it.

its dirt CHEAP, you should bought at least 2 bought 3 for myself, thanks OP for the headsup. the protector looks great
i bought the matte one and it wasnt at all matte. It was shiny as hell.
It definitely costs more, but I bought a SGP Ultra Fine screen protector (around $25, I think) after not being satisfied with some cheaper ones I tried. The matte finish is great, and the feel while moving your fingers across it was the closest thing I could get to using it without a screen protector. I hated the weird plastic of the Zagg or a couple cheap generic ones I tried.
As stated in the object, based on your experience which one would you suggest me for this beautiful phone?
Thank you..
Never used Skinomi but zagg is pretty good, used it on my atrix
Never liked zagg, it turns yellow and grungy. I have had them replace it a few times but it sucks that I need to pay shipping on a warranty.
Ive used neither. I have ordered a skinomi in anticipation of getti g my nexus hopefully in the next couple of weeks.

Oh forgot to mention, i usually order a bunch of el cheapos from hong kong. Premium protectors usually do last longer, but if you find some decent cheap ones it can be more economical. I usually get 5 for $4 shipped from hk, and the skinomi i just ordered was $6 for one. Usually 2 or 3 premium ones are $10-$15. Doing the math and usually changing protectors about every 6 weeks id rather buy 10 from hk and that will last the life of the phone.

I've always been a big fan of ZAGG protectors. I have them on most of my devices. They can be a REAL pain to apply, but once you get the hang of it, it's not so bad. I've never had a problem with them. I did screw up an installation once.. was a bit too aggressive with the squeegee, left a bunch of marks, but they were nice enough to ship me a free replacement
This time, I'm trying Skinomi. Mainly because ZAGG now charges a ridiculous shipping fee for Canada ($17 on a 12$ protector!!). Whereas Skinomi ships for free to Canada.
Anyways whichever you decide, here are some lovely coupon codes
skinomi: get25 (25% off)
zagg: youmobile (cant remember but it was 3$ off my order)
I ordered a Zagg. Also have one on my Vibrant and I'm used to it. Very durable and wipes clean since it does collect smudges easily. Replacement warranty is good, too.
If you're in the states, verizon sells a 3pack of pretty decent screen protectors. I picked mine up at a local store.

never buy accessories from a verizon store. they rip u off.
Waiting for the martin fields screen and camera protector. Should be available shortly after the galaxy nexus gets released in Asia (whenever that may be).
My friend has it on his S2 and I didn't even realize it was on.

I always use Zagg on all my electronics. JSYK www.zagg.com is running 50% off today and tomorrow site wide and free shipping for orders over $29.99. I got my GN and full body MacBook Air shiel for $34.99 shipped.
I was using Zagg Invisibleshield in my last 2 devides (Nokia E61 and currently the Nexus).
However, I bought the LG Nexus 4 yesterday, and I wanted to buy the Hi-Def Insisible Shield (not available yet to Nexus 4).
Because of that, I will try a different protection and buy the Skinomi for a change (front and back cover).

Tested zagg before. Lasted less than a month. Hate the feel, hate the orange peel, hate the yellowish color. Bought skinomi and everything was better

I bought a zagg screen protector at radioshack last week for $4.50 and it looks really nice on the phone
I really like XO protectors. And If you want more economical packaging and save some money you can get a skin from bestskinsever.com. 2.95 shipping in the US

I will never buy anything other than Skinomi protectors anymore. They are really easy to set properly and the protection is great. I've used them on 3 Android phones, all from different manufacturers and they work amazingly.
Never tried Zagg since I started using Skinomi first.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I have an extra skinomi screen protector, with the entire package. I can send it to you for free if you just pay for the shipping.
I don't really like the rubber feel that comes with skinomi/zagg protectors, although it offers probably the maximum amount of protection you can get with screen protectors
I can definitely vouch for skinomi. i've had it for my last two phones, and i don't think id get any other brand. one think that i didn't even realize i appreciated about their protectors after buying an alternate brand is that they make the screen look really nice. they don't take away or interfere with the color at all. very appreciated. got another brand of screen protector when i first got my gn, and its like it put a matte finish on my screen.
i do swear that next time, if i can find someone to put my screen protector on, i will pay them to do it. i am terrible at it apparently. i have tried ALL the tricks. steam.... steam... you name it.
there was a tiny tiny speck of dust that made a little bubble on the screen, and my skinomi was on a bit crooked and it kept creating bubbles in the corners where my case overlapped. it drove me insane, so i just took it off.
i go commando now. screen looks awesome BTW.
