u're joking right?
Zagg is a humongous piece of crap. I got it free when I bought the phone....really...even those 10 screen protectors for £1 are better!
I now have the SGP curved crystal....and IT IS AWESOME!...(as long as you manage to install it properly )

I have the sgp ultra nano and love it. Wish it didn't get as greasy but it's soooo better than the zagg.

Zagg protectors are worse than the $1.00 screen protectors on eBay that come with like 7 protectors. Absolute garbage screen protectors.
I am using the Ultra Nano Clear and it is one of the best screen protectors I have used for any phone.

Try Dynaflo, it is a nano liquid application. There is nothing to apply but a few sprays.

SGP nano is sooo clear compared to the zagg.

Ive never used screen protectors, but im using a zag hd with no complaints.
Why you guys hate on zagg? Whats wrong with them?

Not so with the Zagg HD. I have it on and it feels just like the screen. They really have improved them.

Sounds nice. Prior experiences with them have sucked. I'm torn between this and the full screen dry application screen protectors.

Girlfriend has a Zagg HD on her HTC One X and it looks world's beyond the old Zagg protectors

I recommend SGP Ultra Nano - one of the best screen protectors, very thin and clear though hard to apply; Zagg shield turns yellow after a few months

Get the nano, if you have any type of case the tiny edge that is left exposed is a non issue. I will agree that its sorta tough to install really any of these perfect. The nano came with 3 luckily as I jacked up the first one because you cant freakin see the thing on there and it was crooked...but second time was good. So I still have one left over to use once this one gets too banged up.

Amzer shatterproof screen protector

I have been hearing a lot of cases when our Galaxy SIII's screen has shattered when dropped that too not from a height. Then i heard of AMZER's shatter proof series and i pre-ordered it 3 days ago. Now my case protector has arrived and it is the toughest screen protector i have ever used. I was so lucky that i bought it on time. It was dropped by a kid with face on and nothing happened. This one is really tough guys.
Check this http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-ShatterP...-for-Samsung-GALAXY-S-III-GT-I9300-P94905.htm

It's definitely scratch proof, but shatter proof?

Yes I agree with the OP - knocked my sgs3 off and it hit the corner of the table and then floor - screen first - i have cracked by display on the sensation in a similar situation - this time not even a scratch and this thing sticks right on! Solid stuff here - will post a review later on! must order it guys only 29 bucks!

How is this different then the zagg hd?

If it doesn't suck completely after 2 weeks it is better.

i have the verizon protector on mine, which doesnt go all the way to the edge, but when mine cracked, it rounded it self off when it ran under the screen protector and turned around like "ohh can't go that way" lol https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/s720x720/386262_10151093476528557_832449593_n.jpg

hmmm this looks interesting. is this screen protector curved to match the glass? thanks.

Mine has indentions that are inexcusable. It is ridiculous. I have seen it before, but this is really bad.

How does this screen protector feel? Is it pretty smooth and does it have that orange peel effect?

Use that lifetime warranty to get a new one, mine has been amazing

The coverage for my S3 is perfect to the millimeter the front sensors and camera also unhindered!
I just noticed on amzer's site they posted a few videos - you got to see them to believe them - i will ask you guys to dump zagg hd - i have used it and it feels super uneven, can't play temple run with it on - this is as smooth as the glass itself!

Looks awesome, but for $29.99? I rather get the Spectre Glass screen protector for the same price.

The hammer test link didn't work. I found a brick test. That's crazy. I don't understand how it is possible.

Drill is running in reverse. No wonder why it didn't hurt the phone.

Wasn't so impressed with the hammer or drill test BUT the brick test just baffles my mind. Hell, the corner of the brick even embedded itself into the damn thing and even tore n stayed stuck after peeling off the protector ? !

I have bad luck with dry installation lol.. Wonder if it will ever have a wet version

Whos using with no screen protector

So I was wondering if Amy of you use this phone with no screen protector and how the screen looks after x amount of time with normal use?

I have had my phone for about 8 months and never had a screen protector on it.. I can't detect one single scratch..

Same here. I don't like screen protectors. I've had this phone 7-12 months now and while my silver rim has scuffs on it, my screen is immaculate. No hairline scratches. It's absolutely mint. I have an OCD with my device screens though. There's always an LCD screen cleaner and microfiber cloth within arms reach of me. I really, really hate dirty mucked up screens lol

Everyone enjoys not having a screen protector..
Until they drop their phone and it gets scratched
I always use one. They cost 3 dollars on ebay for 6 with free shipping. Its worthed

I dropped my phone plenty...
No screen scratches, bezel is all torn up though.

same here, ive had mine just about a year now. the bezel has some nicks in it.. but even a screen protector wont prevent that. I even ditched my case after about a week or so.. its much less bulky then

Yea my silver part is wearing down a little from the case I'm using. I've been debating not using a screen protector. I have one left, i just get tired of them scratching up and dulling the screen. Then on look at my kindle (I know it has gorrila glass) with no case or screen protection and its amazingly clean. And clear. I'm always on the fence about it
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

I have used screen protectors before for this phone and been without for a while too. And to tell you the truth only when I have a screen protector you can see scratches from everyday use and from my jeans pockets. And when its without I dont see one single scratch

Not bad
I used mine for about a month without a screen protector. I just got Zagg, and I like the feel a lot better.

I've had my Hercules without a protector for near a year. The screen is pristine, no scratches! I love the glass used on this phone. It can get oily but nothing a microfiber cloth can't wipe clean.

I've had the phone since February with no screen protector. Finally dropped it 2 weeks ago, went skidding face down about 3 feet across an asphalt lot. The bezel is scratched up pretty good, but the glass has no scratches at all.

I generally don't use a screen protector but with this phone I decided to. My HTC Glacier I didn't use one and after a year it had no scratches. The reason I did use one with this phone is to retain its value so I can resell and get a better phone when I get sick of it.
Sand scratches the glass so don't think its 100% safe to go without one.

I just put my last screen protector on here. I got a hair scratch down where the hardware keys are. I used to use those cut to fit ones and they would never cover those buttons. Now the one I have is fitted. I probably won't buy any more

I have had mine for 9 or 10 months and the screen looks great, my bezel was dented and such so I tapped of my screen, took a dremel to it and took off the outer coating, now I have an all white s2 with a matte black bezel, with an awesome screen... Pretty bad ass

Hmmm don't know

Screen Protectors! Why do you use them?

s3s have gorilla glass screens I thought and they have protection to scratches but I see lots of people using these screen protectors. Why do people buying it? OR may I wrong?

Scratch resistant isn't the same as scratch proof.
I've always used protection on my touchscreen devices and don't encounter any functional differences.

All it takes...
My last daily driver had gorilla glass, as does my new S3. I'll be using a protector on my new one as soon as I can get one. I went without for the second half of my last phone's life. Granted, I had no shattering, cracking, or other screen failure, but I definitely acquired a few scratches.
After that first scratch, you'll never look at that screen the same again. All it takes is one fall or one coin or key in a pocket. I like having Gorilla Glass as an extra layer of protection, but it doesn't negate the necessity of redundancy when it comes to protection.

There's a huge thread on this. Can't remember the title tho

I honestly love my screen to be naked. I just take extremely good care of my phone. The scratches on my screen are very minimal. They are small from sand in my pocket and such. Never dropped the phone since I got it about 6 months ago.
Phone always has a dedicated pocket and I don't put anything else in there. I occasionally use a case, but not too often, though when I use my ZeroLemon 7000mah the case is of course on. Still no Screen Protector. Nothing beats the feel of glass.

What brand is it? I tried one a while ago and it made the screen not recognize half of my touches, do you have any issues like that with yours?

I had one of the glass screen protectors and loved it but I broke it. You can get them on eBay for less than $10 now and they are well worth it. I repair phones and happened to have a replacement glass for a s3 and put it on top of the my phone and everything worked except the proximity sensor. I think because of the protective film. I ordered another replacement glass ($6) and I am going to try to use it as a screen protector. Just have to figure out how to get it to stick.

It's a Holy Grail from Sir Lancelot's Armor. It registers everything exactly as it would naked, it's just a couple of millimeters thicker.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

I personally use a Zagg Invisishield, but plan to buy a Sir Lancelots Holy Grail soon. I use them just because I prefer not to have a scratched screen. I have seen many S3's just covered in scratches. Granted, they were owned by people who were prone to dropping their phone, but it does happen. The S3 screen is scratch resistant and tempered, but that still means it can scratch and break.

I've had a screen protector on my s3 since the first day I got it. Just a week ago, I got pretty much fed up with the screen protectors always scratching and getting really oily. Took it off and omg the screen is so smooth. So far my screen has no scratches.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

Despite what they say about Gorilla Glass, its still possible to scratch it! Have some bad experience of it myself.

I've been using the same skin from xoskins.com for my s3 since the release day. No scratches, no orange peel look to it, no curling edges. Love it. Gorilla glass might be tough but scratches can happen, and this skin prevents it.

I use screen protector cuz i honestly feel like it helps support the glass from shattering

My idea of using a replacement glass as a screen protector worked! Just used adhesive strips to secure the glass to the phone and everything works like it should. Now my amber brown s3 is pebble blue.

I have a glass screen protector and have no issues. What thickness screen protector did you get? I have a .23MM and have no issues. I'm sure you did, but I still need to ask, you did take the screen protector off of the Otterbox right? You aren't going with plastic on glass on glass, right?

I just ripped the plastic one off the otterbox and kept my glass on there. I don't need the dust protection, just the drop.

Me to but otter box would not fit . so I pulled glass one and called otter box for replacement case

Screen sensitivity decreases a bit after Zagg installed, but it's not bad when using with cheap TPU case. However, it may be frustrating when playing Angry Birds.

I think i found a solution. This app is not designed for this phone but it seems to work none the less.
