Screen protectors

Hey, I've never used a screen protector on my arc, and though the scratch resistant screen is brilliant, I think I will use a screen protector for future use. What screen protector do you recommend me get from either ebay or amazon? I do not want to pay alot for one but I also do not want a rubbish one haha

There are a lot of screen protectors out there but what I have heard is that Copter and Invisible shield should be nice protectors.
Note, that some protectors comes with a liquid for mounting it. Be really careful not to get any of this liquid into the phone.
I personally don't use any protector but I think it's great that there are a lot of options available on the market today.

If you are living in Europe go to a nearby store where you can buy a voucher for crocfol.de.
15€ for 2 screenprotectors!
I've got one on my screen and it fits perfectly and has no ( not a single one!) Bubbles under the surface.
I really recommend it.

Arc has a factory applied screen protector...
And use search, we have a thread about screen protectors.

Were you ever be able to take it of your screen? I can't get it off... What is the point of a factory placed screenprotector when you cant take it of?
So that means I got two screen protectors on my screen? I think the screen just looks a bit like there is a screen protector, but there isn't.

I took it off, took 5 mins, but when you have a corner it goes off easily.
Yes, you have 2 protectors on the screen.

ZAGG invisible shield is the best screen protector i've ever seen, and tried on i-phone

Zagg HD screen protecters

Just saying the are pretty awesome, almost feels and looks like glass.
Sent from my bad ass Odexed Blue SIII

They are pretty good, but take a look @ Best Skins Ever. They are pretty much the same protectors @ rock bottom prices.

Look into Clearplex. They they should be known a lot more amongst people. Its just better than an over rated zagg (not hatin, just sayin).

You can take the battery cover off if you have problems with a case.

And the ZAGG HD is NOT like the original ZAGG.. This thing is beautiful. My sister was playing with my phone and told me to get a screen protector for it lol.. She said the screen felt natural and she couldn't feel or see the screen protector..
Mind you side by side you can tell..

I got one in the 50% discount also. This is my FIRST Zagg and I'm a bit nervous about the wet application process. Can anyone give me their best tips/advice on the process, i.e. what to avoid, etc?
Thanks in advance.

Take the battery out when you're applying it. You can dry it with a hairdryer set to "cool".

Problems with Zagg
I am on to my second Zagg screen protector and it is still not right. I got both installed by Zagg at the mall. They looked great for a couple weeks but then look like they have snags in them. Am I just really hard on my phone or is anyone else having this issue?

Does the zagg hd screen protector covers the whole screen?

Between the sensor and the speaker its open.. But the entire Samsung logo is covered under the speaker..
And right under the home button is not covered.... But the sides are.. Just right under the home button isn't..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

The best way I've found to install the screen protectors is by spraying the phones screen, then spray the top of the shield, your fingers, peel it off the backing, and then spray the adhesive side of the shield. It'll give you plenty of liquid to position the shield and since your fingers are wet it won't stick to you/leave your fingerprint on the screen. When using the squeegee on the HD shield spray that as well and use very short strokes starting from the center working your way out. They're thicker then the regular ones and can get very small bubbles under them that are hard to get out without causing a run in the shield.

me too. love it

I have a Zagg HD on mine and hate it.
That being said it is the best protector I have tried, and have ended up using Zagg protectors on my s1, s2, s3, tab 8.9, tab 10.1, and nexus 7.
I hate the plasticy feel, the orange peel, and the fact I rarely have one make it longer than 4 or 5 months before needing replacement.
Again on the plus I have never had a single question or problem when getting it replaced.
My verdict is this;
I hate screen protectors, but they are nessessary. Zagg makes one of the, if not the best one out there, their customer service and product support is excellent.

try the XOSkins screen protector. Way better without the orange bs.

Zagg HD and the Note 2

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.

This is exactly what I've been looking for. I haven't been able to find a screen protector that fits with my diztronic tpu case. They always peel off at the corners.

I got my LGOG in November and after having no screen protector since then I still have 0 scratches. I'm just using a TPU case that is raised on the front so when I set it down or drop it the screen doesn't have any contact. I've even had the phone in pockets with change and keys on accident. With newer phones screen protectors aren't needed nearly as much as they used to be thanks to Corning Gorilla Glass and such.

Same here. I got a screen protector (zagg) immediately after purchasing mine in November. I've been too lazy to put it on. Still, no screen protector, just an otterbox case, and the screen is in perfect shape. I would like to rock my phone with no case, but the camera sticks out on the back.

Warning about Zagg (and screen protectors in general) on Galaxy S3

Removed my zagg protector today and noticed the glue from the shield completely took off the oleophobic coating. Now the glass isn't as smooth and attracts fingerprints even more. Just a warning to those putting on a screen protector, you may actually be damaging the phone.

I prefer the ones you can re use. They work pretty well. when it gets dirty or has bubbles, you can pull it off, rinse and re apply. None of that sticky mess or hoping it's set right the first time

I use armor shield and they have held up pretty well

I can't remember where i saw it but a few months ago i saw the kit online to replace the glass screen coating....oleo whatever.

Maybe find something here http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-SGH-i747-AT-T-s/18091.htm
and how to take it apart here http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/search/samsung+galaxy+s3

I use self laminating sheets from Office Max. I Cut to fit and apply. Easy to remove too. They last maybe two weeks, but they do give some protection to the screen and it's super inexpensive since you get so many sheets to a box. They look just fine. I don't think they cling hard enough to remove any coating but I haven't really looked for that.

I removed my Zagg InvisibleShield from my S3 the other day without any ill effects. It was applied the day the phone was purchased sometime about a year ago. That was an expensive clear sticker. I won't miss the rubbery feeling one bit!

Maybe those having problems are following different install methods?

I took mine off, too, without seeing any negative effects on the screen. I got a tempered glass screen protector and now won't ever use anything else. It feels just like the original glass and protects the phone at the same time.

I like the Zagg stuff. I've had them on all my phones and never had an issue. I have the HD on my GS3 now and had it replaced a couple times, but nothing left on the screen.

ZAGG was pretty good for the iPhones.
Thanks for the heads up on this one. Phew.
Used Armorshield on my Nexus 4.
Probably will do the same for my GS3. :highfive:
