Im looking for a screen protector that doesnt hinder picture quality or touch screen feel. I didnt plan on buying a screen protector because ive never been happy with how they make my touchscreens feel (Invisible Shield, BestSkinEver) but I have a small light scratch and want to eliminate any future scratches.
I went with ghost armor... they applied it for me for 18$ and its amazing.
Reallook, hands down. It doesn't slow down swype, or dull the gorgeous screen. All air bubbles are gone after two days, and is a no water application.

I also recommend the Realook screen protector. You hardly notice that there's a screen protector on your Vibrant. Swype is great on it.

I handed my phone to my friend earlier tonight and the first thing out of his mouth was that I really should put a screen protector on it.
I have a realook on it.
My wife and I have Reallook and LOVE them. we r going to put them on my mother in laws new vibrant when it comes in. 61 Years old and wants the vibrant instead of the 3g slide.
I was using the clear freak for the past 3 weeks or so and I really liked it but I just switched to reallook and it's so much smoother! It's almost like it's too smooth now lol

are the reallook screen protectors fingerprint friendly? im looing for one that doesnt leave any finger prints.
So is the Realook protector similar to the Invisible Shield in terms of scratch resistance? What kind of material is it? The site says you can remove it,wash it, and reapply. That doesnt sound like tough protector like Invisible Shield or BestSkinEver (cannot be removed and reused). Is it just as scratch proof?
Anyone have any pics of it on their Vibrant? Thanks.
I also have the realook SP and love it. It is really easy to put on and I cant even tell it is there. It does show some prints when the screen is not on, but only then and they wcan be wiped off easily.
i had the CF and it was really bad, switched to the realook and its great
It's definitely not smudge proof. But I have yet to see a smudge proof that doesn't mess up the screens clarity

Thanks!!!!!
Best one by far is realook. I just received mine today, ordered on ebay, received it in 4 days. Super simple installation. No bubbles, prefect fit. Contrary to other posts, no lost in sensitivity to touch or any of the home buttons at the bottom of the screen. Swype is still a breeze. Doesn't cause loss of quality in the screen. And best of all, its invisible, my wife can't even tell its on. Paried with the gel skin, best protection for this phenomenal phone. Only thing I can't comment on is the finder prints, as I just finished the installation.

Realook, had another protector on it that i bought from ebay, thought it was pretty good, until i put my realook on, and realized how the screen was supposed to be, swype is much quicker with this one, and i handed my wife my phone after i applied it, and she asked me why I removed my screen protector, so she couldn't even tell that it was on!

Not really, they are on amazon, once you order once, realook will give you a coupon code to use for your next purchase, 2 for like 12 bucks (realook price)is more than I paid for all of my other screen protectors I have tried for my vibrant, so far i have tried 4 brands, I stopped looking after i got my realook on my phone. well worth the money.
Anyone tried it on their Arc? Does the color become noticeably worse? I really wish I could just avoid all the smudges on my Arc's screen (and the glossy black cover.. if such thing exist)
Ive orders some and will report back, the ones on my galaxy s give it a pixeilated tint but thats more than worth the for a non smudgy surface.
Had one for my X10, it works well to stop reflections and glare and also reduces fingerprints, but it makes the screen slightly blurry. So It wont look as sharp. Is it usable? Sure, but I prefer regular ones.
Ive ordered mine, will giv the results later..
Had one on my x8, not too noticable in terms of screen quality but its better than hav a smudges on the screen
So... has anyone tried it?

Would it be possible for you to post some pictures for comparison?
I have used matte anti-glare screen protector but I remove it after using a week.
There are no finger print on the screen but the sharpness of the screen resolution will become less sharp so I change back to clear screen protector after that.
Just my sharing.

Sorry for bumping my 1 week old thread
Did you remove the built-in screen protector when applying the anti-glare one? Is there any difficulty when removing it? need some tips on this.
Does anyone know where to get matte/flat/anti glare screen protector for the SIII? I've been looking everywhere and I can't find any. I don't need it for "screen protecting" purposes, I'm very careful with my phones. I just had one on my Sensation, and I loved the "flat" screen effect. It also offered less friction resistance.
Thanks in advance.

No offense, but WHERE were you looking?
A simpl search of galaxy s3 matte screen protector gives you heaps of results on the most common place to get screen protectors..

personally I dont like the feel of the matte protectors
i ordered this http://www.ebay.com/itm/230825484423?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
and this http://www.ebay.com/itm/261046599703?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
the second link matte SP can be seen here as ive already bought it before http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796157
I love these screen protectors,and they work really great.
I should be getting them either tomorrow or or the next day. I will let you know how the SPs on the first link are.
Thanks guys. I want something with a better fit. I don't like those with the overly generous cuts on the top. My mistake for not mentioning.

You looked through all of the pages?
This is on the first page, I dont think its generous at all

All good. But if you want a matte screen protector to cover the whole screen. you're gonna have a hard time finding one.
I've order one that covers the whole screen but it lifts up on the edges.

I know its about personal preference but why would anyone want to put a matte or flat on a screen as beautiful this one? That is one of the best features of this device in my mind..simply amazing. I hate having to put a screen protector on period but I don't want to scratch the screen so I use a screen protector that is as clear as the screen or at least close to. Anyways just my point of view.
You should be able to find your type of screen protector on amazon and sgp may have one that suits your needs. I know I saw a couple at Verizon Wireless store

Yeah as much as i don't want to use a screen protector, i can't avoid it because my hands get sweaty at times and i hate it when my fingers stick to the screen. That's why i use anti glare sp. Swyping is annoying when my fingers are sweaty

because he prefers function over form. The matte screen protectors reduce glare and finger smudges. The plain glass smudges and can be hard to see with glare in certain situations
Here you go -
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...een-protector-steinheil-ultra-nano-clear.html
(The one you want is "Nano Optics" under Select Color option)
I hate the dotted and rainbow colors on the matte protectors ... Have been using "Ultra Optics" from SGP on each phone I have ever had ... they are smooth as hell, no screen distortion at all ..
Trust me .. you wont be disappointed

SPIGEN SGP Steinheil™ Ultra Nano Optics
SGP Steinheil™ Ultra Nano Optics: Anti-Fingerprint, Premium Grade Optical Enhanced Screen Protector Film that feature microlens Array surface layer. Microlens Array on the surface of the matte anti-fingerprint film dramatically increase the light transmittance while offering an excellent, smooth surface texture with smudge resistant property.
I finally broke down and got an S3 today and also picked up a pack of the ridiculously expensive stick-on screen protectors that Verizon sells as I didn't want to take any chances in between buying the phone and getting some cheap ones. Anyway, the screen looks very grainy with the protector, especially when displaying lighter images. I really don't mind that much but when I'm taking pictures it really bugs me. I was wondering if anyone knows of a screen protector for the S3 that is durable but doesn't make the screen look all grainy.
Thanks!
The screen protector that comes with the otter box case is perfect. You really don't even notice it at all. It's the best screen protector that I have personally used

I'm not a big fan of the otterbox defender screen protector. As a matter of fact I am not even using it. I think there are a lot of protectors that don't look grainy, I wish I could find one that didn't show fingerprints.
Zagg HD all the way

right on, couldnt agree more. i was gunna say the same thing.
Just applied this, went on easy, no bubbles, crystal clear, dry application

Verizon replaced them with some clear ones. I guess I had gotten the anti glare ones. Having trouble getting an air bubble out though.

I'm not a fan of cases in general, so I bought an Armor Shield full-body protector - essentially it's like screen protector film, but they send precut pieces to protect all of the phone rather than just the screen.
I'm really really impressed with the whole package - the body parts are cool in that they really just give a great grip (the stock phone is really slippery), but the screen protector is really impressive in all the ways screen protectors have disappointed me in the past.
This one doesn't feel rubbery (interestingly, since the body parts add grip), in fact my finger glides on it better than the glass surface. That was surprising.
And, this one doesn't collect fingerprint grease.
I'm betting armor shield sells the screen protectors solo... and probably affordable, I think the whole body package with the screen protector was only $15.
And it's clear, I think for your original question, just avoid "matte finish" screen protectors. Those are the ones with the hazy/grainy finish.
Hey guys sorry for asking a noob question but what screen protector would you recommend for the s3 and way?
Im looking for a thicker screen protector... But any suggestions would be great thank you
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Personally, I don't recommend it. I've had mine since launch, only a tpu case, and not a sing scratch on my screen. Though if you wanted one, the invisishields are good, but I personally don't like how they feel.
Oh ok ...cause I got the otter box defender case ..but I like having the extra protection lol
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Lol, another thing i [personally] don't like...I don't need at case 5x bigger than my phone, lol. But to each their own.
Amazon got lots of protectors
Just order my screen protector a must since I don't want my screen to scratch.
I personally like the matte type because its anti finger print smooth like satin but it does take away glare and dull screens which is fine for me.
Here a link for all types glossy and matte

I personally purchased this one hopes it fits well and lives up to the hype...

I usually don't like Zagg screen protectors, but decided to get the new Zagg HD screen protector. Doesn't have that off colored glare as the original ones did and also has lifetime guarantee. Also doesn't leave finger smudges like regular screen protectors either.
