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).

Phantomskinz. You get two sets of protectors per pack.

You can take the battery cover off if you have problems with a case.
I just press down on my phone as I slide my case on.

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..

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.

I dropped mine from about 5 feet in the air onto solid concrete. It landed directly on the back side (battery cover) and hardly marked my back casing and nothing happened to the phone at all.
No screen protector or case.

No, it cracked from about a 6 inch slide. That's the worst part about it. There's not a single mark on my phone because it was in a case when it happened. I called Samsung and they have to evaluate whether the damage was caused by me or some sort of manufacturing defect. I'm almost positive they're gonna rule against me despite how ridiculous the circumstances were.

It was just some plastic case that Target (ironically) had on clearance. I kinda regret that decision...
It mostly depend on the point of impact. If you dropped it directly at it's corner, it'll most likely crack. And I feel the screen on this phone cracks way too easily. I've dropped it once on my bed. Luckily the screen didn't crack.
I have minor scratches on my screen from I have no clue what, I've had a case on it since day one and never lay my phone on its front only on the back and it has minor but noticeable scratches. Annoying and very weak GG

Maybe when you are holding your phone or putting it down, different parts of your fingers are touching the screen, and the sensor responds differently to them.

Do you guys have screen protectors applied? There was one brand in particular where the screen protector would cause the screen to become quite unresponsive especially at the bottom of the screen. If that's the case you might want to change screen protectors or just go commando.

I have had my gnex since release day with no screen protector and not a single scratch to this day. As long as you are somewhat careful as to how you handle your phone you will be fine. To me the screen protectors on the galaxy nexus seem awful and huge finger print magnets from the pics I have seen, and that would drive me nuts.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
The nexus one had an issue with this and it had to do with grounding when the device was held which would allow the touchscreen to work well. As soon as your not holding it touch response goes to s***

I don't think a phone with an all-plastic body like a Galaxy Nexus would have a problem with grounding?

When the screen protector was off, did you try using the phone and see if the sensitivity improved? If it didn't at least you could rule out that the screen protector is the problem.

I've known a few good people with this problem, but most of them have hands that become moist easily. Perhaps this is causing it, no?
I have the same problem. When I put it on the holder at my work and start watching YouTube my back button I have to press 100 times it losses sensitivity

I don't get that at all. I have ****e reception here, so when I text and stuff I put my phone down on the speaker by the window. It always seems to work just fine with me pecking away.

Gaps are pretty big i guess 2mm on bottom and top. Sides are just along the edge of the actual screen. But like i said the top section wont adhere so its lifted. But the rest is perfect. Very smooth just like the screen. Very clear cant even tell i have one. Plus lifetime warranty as bonus.

Those are finger marks, you're right that it's caused by games. Notice there's 3 areas affected, where the directional pad is and where I'd assume there's buttons A and B in that game. And that's why I use a screen protector. If you don't then you can get the glass replaced, not recommended as it's not 100% safe.
It's probably the oleo phobic coating rubbed out in those areas. They do sell oleophobic replacement kits online. Try it out.
