Recently got the rock case and really like it. Definitely alot better then the incipio scyrillic dual I bought before. But I'm a bit worried about the screen and the top and bottom being unprotected.
Any suggestions? I have been hearing about glass screen protector (saw a video on the xda homepage even) but haven't found any that have good reviews yet. As for the top and bottom I was thinking some kind of shield maybe?
What are my options?
Thanks alot,
Alex
P.s. I got a blue s3

Blue S3 for the win!
Does not have to be a glass screen protector necessarily just a good screen protector that doesn't change the look and feel of screen too much and won't peel off with the case!

Does it not peel up on the curved edges? And does it cover the entire screen surface? I hate when you can see the protector around it all

thanks for the pics, but does the case seem a little bulky compared to those tpu and hard plastic cases?

Actually no it dosent seem bulky at all. And the grey rubber on side of case gives it a way better grip

Is it a matte finish on the visor screen protector or is it completely clear and does not degrade the screen clarity? Thanks
Its a matte finish. I had a clear invisishield on but this screen protector comes with a lifetime warranty and you can actually take it off...wash it and put it back on

I have this case also. One thing that I don't like is that when you put the phone down on a table, the white plastic sits on the table, not the gray rubber. I'm guessing the white plastic will eventually get pretty scratched up. You can place the phone on the table and spin the phone like a top.
What is the best screen protector for good clarity and can show across the screen very nicely and decent stretch protection although the corning glass is scratch resistant. I have the flex vs right now and there is a big scratch in the center of the screen that's annoying and has rainbow effect on the whole bottom left side that is quite annoying on white screens. I have the nano clear from the neo hybrid car I might try it is the nano clear good?

I love the zagg HD screen protectors. I may be a bit bias though. Work at best buy so my discount on them is huge.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
if you want a screen protector that doesnt scratch easily like your flex did - stay away from zagg. Look at the spigen products like you are. The one that would be least likely to scratch is the ultra crystal
Hi I bought a pack of these and have to say I am really impressed. They fit well and are ultra clear.

I have the nano clear I'll look at those if it scratched through the screen protector the corning glass I would think would save it.

I ordered the "next generation" protector from Bestskinsever.com, on sale for $5. I had one on an old clickwheel ipod from 2006 that was still going strong, and the new generation promised less orange peel. I have to say, I HATE screen protectors, but I'm liking this one. Individual holes are cut for everything, no U channel cutouts on top & bottom like the Zagg HD. The orange peel is minimal, and it's smooth as can be, feels like glass. I was really expecting the crappy, rubbery, finger drag feel that wet protectors are known for. I'd definitely order it again.
Here is what I orderd...according to Amazon it was shipped, hoping to get this in the next few days...

Xoskins works nice.. wet application but very little orange peel. Distortion is minimal too. Comes in normal and case fit which leaves a tiny bit on the edges so cases don't peel it up.
I'd buy another one.

The texture you get with many wet application screen protectors.

bumpy looking surface, like the surface of an orange. The soft application screen protectors tend to do this, but offer a greater protection in most cases

Nope, had one on my epic4gtouch, and I put it on without an air bubble or follicle of hair underneath. Looked just fine, but when light shined on it, you could see the orange peel effect and even the slightest touch of a fingernail.

My Zagg feels as smooth as glass. I do see the affect you mean, but I think the complaints are people being a bit petty. Zagg is a great product, and this "issue" has never bothered me. My screen still looks beautiful to me.

IMO, I can't stand water applied screen protectors, even if they don't have the orange peel effect, I can still feel the rubbery sensation. This is the reason I go with the dry applied screen protectors, I'm currently using SGPs.
You're suppose to wipe off all the liquid on the side you touch before it dries. You wet that side so it isn't scratched or scraped when using the rubber applier. If you wipe it all off you don't get the rubber feel on the protector.

I have orange peel on my XO skin, it was my first wet skin so could be the way I installed it, but I still like the protector
I installed the Zagg HD screen protector on my new Note 2 yesterday, and I will tell you it should not have been cleared for use with the Note 2. It is so soft that it feels like it's ribbed from using swype with the S-Pen... and I don't press hard at all. What's worse, it's effecting the accuracy of the S-Pen itself, as I find I need to press harder. I would not recommend this screen protector for use with our amazing device. Really looking like I might have to go naked unless I can find a very S-Pen friendly protector!
PS
Best Buy Mobile offered to exchange the protector for me and install it tomorrow, an offer which I am going to accept and deal with until I find the best alternative.
I have the extreme guard $4 body and screen. Everything works flawless.

I made the mistake of believing the saleslady at Best Buy Mobile that the new Zagg HD was just fine with the S-Pen... first mistake. I have a Rearth screen protector waiting for me at home once I return from this business trip... but ya, I am looking forward to the upcoming Glas protector as well. Any word on it's release date?
I was on the same boat I bought the rubber screen.. shouldve posted a warning but got lazy :/
And I asked sgp and all they said so far was that it was a wip... and blah blahs
The glass protector is the best doe cause it feels as it were naked <3
But ill make a thread when I hear about the protector

I'm using the zagg smudge proof protector from best buy and it is not rubbery, doesn't dent or scratch and is true full screen. So far I'm extremely happy with it. Your fingers slide across the screen better with it than naked also there's no orange peel effect either.
If anyone is interested IMHO this is the best zagg to put on.

I don't see a smudge proof version on the zagg website, do you have a link? Just checked out Best Buy tonight, they didn't have any either.

Yes, I'll find it and post back. It's the best screen protector I've used, and I normally don't like zagg for the orange peel and rubbery feeling.

Check out the Xgear Spectre tempered glass screen protector. I'm thinking of doing the same thing myself.
There's the mercury colored screen protectors too. Not sure how good they are though

The mercury screen protectors suck lol.
The menu button and back button are actually printed on the screen protector itself. And the company name "Mercury is printed on the screen protector right above the back button.
And the mercury screen protector doesn't completely cover the front of the phone, so if you're trying to make a white S3 black, it'll look off.
I ordered three of the black and it wasn't mention, but it has a glittery look instead of just being black. I don't know if all of the colors are like this but it kind of throws it off in my opinion.
If none this bothers you, then order them, as for me, I'm getting my money back.

I believe it does have issue because there is no indication that there is a glass screen protector on the Spigen website for sale. I'm only seeing 20 items and none look like glass protectors.
