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

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.
What do you guys think is the best screen protector for this phone? I have been looking on Amazon and they have been getting bad reviews on them.I ordered a mirrored one and that was a terrible middle because I couldn't see anything if there was any sunlight on the device. Any screen protectors like the Apple one where it is anti fingerprint? I'm thinking of trying the Zagg screen protector but I use Swype a lot and don't like my finger sticking to the screen.

I just received my ZAGG screen protector in the mail today. I'll let you know what I think once I put it on. My buddy has one on his IPhone, and I liked it because my finger DID NOT stick when I was sliding it around. I have seen other screen protectors that made my finger stick.
I've had a Zagg on my iPad, iPhone, Fascinate, Thunderbolt, Galaxy Tab, Galaxy 10.1 and now my Hercules. My finger has stuck to the screen exactly 0 times in the 2 years I've been using them and I've used Swype with every one of those devices.
I also prefer ZAGG's invisible shield. I had one on my Glacier and loved it so I grabbed one for my S II. You can usually find them several dollars cheaper on ebay or amazon.
I only use the screen protectors by ZAGG, but if you get a full kit, remember that you might run into fitment issues with tight-fitting cases. A full shield and a case seems redundant to me, anyway.
Zagg Invisi shield is definitely the way to go. I would just take your phone to the mall and have them apply with the wet method instead of the dry ones you can buy in store. They are the best and once you pay full price you can always get any side replaced for only 5$ :]
Personally I prefer the reallook screen protectors. They are a dry application, but have had awesome success with them. Only issue will be if you have the d30 case. But most screen protectors have issues with this case.

I tried one of those first on my Thunderbolt. It was really nice... Until it spent a ride in my pocket with my keys for a couple hours. It got pretty scratched up. I also have a pretty oily face and the Zagg hides that and the fingerprints a lot better than the SGP. When it's new though, that SGP is great.
I just ordered an Xtremeguard full-body kit off of ebay for $5 with free shipping. They are supposed to be direct competitors to Zagg from the looks of their ad but I don't have any experience with them so when I get it, I will get back to you.
I am not really worried about the screen as it's gorilla glass and that stuff is tough! I already have a Diztronic TPU case on my phone and just wanted a "apply and forget" screen protector that will lessen my OCDness with the screen (despite it being so tough).
anyone have a preferred screen protector with the 3DO case? i'm trying to find one that doesn't mess up with this case, lasts, and doesn't show all the oily fingerprints

I don't think you did it right i thought the squeege was scratching the screen protector. Cause it had a whole bunch of scratches on it. When trying to get the bubbles out. I removed the scratched up screen protector. Then underneath was the screen protector on perfectly. I even applied keys to it it didn't scratch up.

For those of you with the Zagg screen protector, does it tend to bubble around the edges when used in conjunction with a tpu/d30 case?
Considering getting one myself, but this would be the deal breaker

If you miss with the case, does it cause bubbles? Or are the corners on top of the Zagg?

Hey everyone!
One of the cases that I'm considering for my GS3 is the Otter Box Defender. I know that it has a built in screen protector, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the quality of the built in screen protector is like? ie, clear, glossy, matte, scratch and fingerprint resistant, absolute crap, etc...? Does anyone have the Defender and use a different screen protector with it? The more information, the better. Thanks!
The feel of it as they have always been more like a clear glossier plastic. Its not Matte or smudge proof thats for sure. Is it the best screen protector out? Most certainly not, but its not really meant to be removed but doesnt mean you can rip it off cause i have done so with other phones I had. Mostly because I have always been a big supporter and user of the ZAGG Protectors which in my opinion are the best in terms of quality and build. But you really dont want to have a screen protector on and then use the otterbox with the added screen protector. Two to me is too many and can cause some interference with touch controls. I know there is prolly a million people on here that will say otherwise and they have done it without issues just my honest opinion when i had one on phone then used otterbox case with attached protector as well I hated it. The touch for me was way off. But if you dont end up liking it just get you a good screen protector and then when you buy the defender just pop off the one that comes with it. No worries.
I just got the Defender last week for GS3 and Love it! Its an amazing case and love the holster. I always end up buying one of these cases for my phones cause they just LAST.
Cheers!:highfive:
Case is good but the screen protector makes everything pixilated. Really hard to get past for me. So I tore out the screen protector and had a zagg hd put on. Works out well.

It, sux it makes the screen look grainy, i sold it and got the commuter instead, i just bought the defender because the screen protector, and since it sux i rather have the bit slimmer commuter.
I love the commuter btw.
I took the screen protector out also. Don't let that be what steers you away from the defender. The case is awesome, the product support is awesome. I keep thinking about getting a stick on protector but haven't yet. I use the holster so the screen is protected by that most of the time. I have scratched and scuffed the outer rubber of the case however. I emailed otter support asking if I could buy replacement outers in the future and explained that I scratched the case... No defect of the product. They asked for pictures and the next thing I know I have an invoice in my email... They are sending me a whole new replacement! You can't beat that service.
Got the Black Defender and the screen protector is utter crap. Invested in a ZAGG HD and never looked back.
The quality of the built-in screen on the Defender made everything look so blurry and pixelated.

Disagree - it's not good protection, in fact is bad for it.
Buddy of mine had a defender for his phone before. Over time dust, grit and what have you worked it's way in between the otter screen guard and the screen itself. Then everytime you touch it has the same effect as rubbing sandpaper on your screen. His got murdered from it.
You need a screen protector that adheres to the screen itself to prevent fine grains of dust, dirt, sand or what have you from turning it into a piece of sandpaper every time you touch it.
After seeing the destruction wrought on his screen, was in the defender from day one, and now owning a defender myself, I fully understand why the most common mod to the case is to take an Xacto knife and cut the screen guard out.
Do that and use a quality shield on the screen, you will be very happy you did.
^ I usually take my case off every other week to clean it, and I was surprised to see that barly any dust got in at all, the only places I saw was around the top where the little hole is at and around the camera/flash /speaker área , maybe his case was defective? Over all I'm impressed to see how clean my phone is every time I take off the case.

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.

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.
Is there any company out there that makes screen protectors like SPG? Currently I have the Verizon screen protector with the diztronic tpu case and it's already peeling. I know Skinomi makes one but it's a wet application and I really don't like the feel of it. I know Skinomi has a sticky feeling to it like Zagg when you glide your finger on the screen. I have searched across the Web. Seems like no love for the Maxx.

No, Skinomi is the best protector. Zagg is a piece of crap! I have used multiple Skinomi protectors (never the whole body ones) and loved all of them. I have the Skinomi on my MAXX right now and my fingers glide like on polished glass. You have to be in a dust-free environment and have an assistant help spray your fingers with the applicator. There is a science to doing it right. Also the lifetime warranty is awesome.

Well I also got a screen protector for Droid ultra a month ago...this time I just tried to go for something different rather than following the same zagg and skinomi products...I purchased an Amzer universal screen protector...it was a bit costly but it is such a fine on the phone that it makes my cell phone screen safe and sound for lifetime... I have also purchased another one for my N7(2013) too...
Thanks...

SON OF A B... I feel like I am being punished for upgrading early or something! I have the anti glare screen protectors. The girl at the store did a GREAT job of putting them on. She even used scotch tape and everything to eliminate dust. Well...I'm on day 6 of use, and now my protector is peeling off. Why are so many things going wrong with my purchase! I'll call it bad luck and have her put a different one on and hopefully week 2 of my trial will go better and the notification volume issue will be resolved.
Wow those are pretty cool!

I agree with skinomi being on top, still have a skinomi on my original droid razr maxx for almost 2 years and you cant barely tell its on there.
I bought a skinomi and I think it sucks. When I think screen protector I think of something hard that can not be scratched. These "tech skins" are some kind of soft gel. I actually gouged it with my fingernail while swiping.
I use the xtremeguard. Feels rubbery and not as durable as I expected. I scratched it intentionally using my fingernails and it failed me.
Sent from my XT1080 using xda app-developers app
using skinomi.. it is a soft type material but protects well.. and the items it comes with just makes it easy to install. if you gauge it with any small scratches or even your fingernail.. dont worry about it, it heals itself back.
Here's a follow up on the verizon anti glare 3 pack. I'm still on my first one. It's got quite a few tiny marks but not visible when display is on.
Once in a while my defender or Trident cyclops cases will make the edge bubble ever so slightly but no dust has accumulated and upon removal of cases with built in screen protectors it goes away.

So has anyone found any glass screen protectors for the Droid Maxx? Phone's been out for a while and I still can't find any sellers..
nitro glass doesn't make one yet... im South New Jersey..and our mall has a kiosk called ClearCoat... pretty sick screen protector...
Another +1 for Skinomi. I am currently using it. Application was a cinch. And they have an application video to aid. It is applied and I put a Otter box on top. Feels and looks great. Not as stick or gelly as I expected. Perfect.
Friend still insists best buy sold tempered glass screen last year. Still searching.

Long story short, my mother just got this phone a few days ago and I know the amount of abuse she inflicts on her phones. She normally just throws it into her purse with all the other stuff. I'm trying to find a protector that can handle whatever may hit the screen. I've used Skinomi and like them but I've used a tempered glass protector and I like those a lot more. Do any of you have a recommendation for what type to get?
P.S. I already have found her a case, so the body of the phone should be safe.

I haven't seen any of those for the Ultra series yet. I have a Skinomi, and have had it on the phone for 5 months now - it's just fine. Occasionally the case will start to peel the edge a bit but it's always easy to get it to adhere back down. In fact, I haven't seen that happen in weeks.
So yesterday I removed my anti glare screen protector (verizon 3 pack) because it was due for a change. The screen was so hard to see, very shiny and reflective, but it did look slightly clearer.
But I became weary and installed another one. Lol.
Anyone have clear full body armor?
