Isn't it easier (and way faster) to just search it up on Google?
I'm sure there are thousands (millions?) of threads and articles on 'glossy vs matte' screen protectors.

It's all personal preference, just like what kind of case you want to use.
Not sure how the good brand matte screen protectors are like, but the cheap ones i recieved were horrible. The quality was great but the screen resolution sucked bad. Gave it a washed out pixilated look to the screen. Took it off with in few minutes. I just ordered the tech armor HD clear see how that one is like. Got it in amazon prime for 7 bucks for pack of 3. Should recieve it friday

So you did choose matte. I once had it and it was driving me crazy. Just feels not right when you touch it. I like glossy ones.
I got the lloyd matte ones and i couldn't take it anymore after two days. It was fingerprint proof and that was great but the pixilation and loss of screen quality was a real dealbreaker. It was like looking at a old tube television really up close. Too bad. I really like how the touch was compared to the hd gloss ones.

I use to use a Zagg shield on all my phones but on the S3 it seems its not as resilient as past phones cause im noticing like "dent" marks in it now. SO not sure if they changed something but they arent as good anymore...go figure
I forgot which matte one I had but it worjed well. Only thing I didn't like was it got dirty really easily. I have an SGP ultra nano now and like it a lot better.

The nano clear does not cover 100%. The only screen protector that cover full screen are wet applications or the dry application sgp curved crystal.

Some of the matte or anti-fingerprint screen protectors make the screen dull or grainy, some don't. I have typically just purchased Spigen crystal Clear but sometimes I just get the ones at the Verizon store too if I am out and need one on a hurry. I tend to avoid the Zagg film ones due to the orange peel affect. Some of the tempered glass type like Spigen's Glas.t (which they are not offering on the GS3) are beneficial as well.
One thing to keep in mind is not all screen protectors work with all cases. Case in point is the Spigen ones with the curved edges, I found they tend to lift and were useless.
I use iSmooth and my friends can't even tell its there. Its a dry application but doesn't cover the whole phone which I'm fine with.

No scratches, also, this is the first time I've used a screen protector on any of the phones I've used. I hate having one but I have to admit, I'm impressed with this one. IMO, the picture doesn't do any justice, thats not a lift, its the shadow on the edges. It's only $10 on amazon
Here's a tip when installing, have a scotch tape near by to remove any lints. It works better than what comes with the product.

While it may not be gorilla glass, it's still pretty resillient. As far as screen protectors go, if you usually keep your phone near keys, coins, etc then yes buy one. If not then you should be ok. I used to use screen protectors on all my devices but I stopped believing in them because I usually take good care of my devices either eay and the screen protectors took away the beauty from the device.
It really is just a matter of personal opinion.

I found out the same thing, only after putting the phone in my pocket with my keys. The screen with scratch so I highly recommend that you put on a screen protector
I'm glad this thread hasn't gone retarded with a bunch of assumptions and stuff.
Gorilla glass is just a name. other tempered/reinforced glass can be designed the same way or even better but is not called "gorilla glass".
Like others have mentioned, the glass is pretty sturdy and can protect it from scratches from most day to day objects and items that you use. However, sand in your pocket or on the table can scratch the **** out of the glass because it is compiled by a lot of different minerals.. shoot there might be even diamond in it.
I'm sure most active users on XDA take care of our devices and will be annoyed by the smallest scratches on the screen, so I would recommend a screen protector. It definitely helps prevent scratches and add an extra amount of "cushion" from small drops to prevent shattering your screen.
BTW I was fortunate enough to buy inexpensive screen protectors (like 5 for $4) on amazon and they turned out to be like the SGP ones. They were actually some of the best screen protectors I ever used, it felt identical to the glass. Just a thought if you decide to go the cheap route that there are some good and inexpensive generic ones.

I'll vouch for Realook also. I used it for my Vibrant and now I'm using it for my S2.
The only downside to this screen protector is it will bubble (without modification) if you're using the D30 case due to the super tight fitment. There's some tricks you can do to avoid bubbling. Just do a search.
Amazon is selling a pair of the screen protectors for a very low price of $12!

Gadget Guard
http://www.gadgetguard.com/
I have this on my, phone, laptop, gps, my kids iPods. I put this on 30 Panasonic toughbooks at work and also about 10 different tablets. I won't buy another product ever again.
Pros: It heals itself if you use a stylus and it leaves makes they will go away, if i get a small scratch in an hour it will be gone. This doesn't include major damage. 100% life time guarantee, whatever the reason, if your gadget guard fails to live up to their high standards they will replace it, free, for the life of your device.
Cons: Dry install was a little tough, Wet install was easier but it is a little scary for electronic devices, If you wet install it will take a few days for all the little bubbles to disappear it goes faster if you let it sit in the sun.
What screen protectors for the SGS3 are perfectly smooth and transparentr? The screen protector I have on my current phone (BB) is slightly "frosted" or textured which messes with the pixels on the screen. It does make it easier to swipe and does not attract dust or fingerprints, but I would rather have a screen protector that is perfectly clear for the SGS3. What are some good ones?
just look for clear/crystal vs. matte (the "frosted" you have)

Go with SGP Ultra Crystal Screen protectors if you are looking for something that looks and feels like glass. No rubber feeling to it like some skins, and as the product name states, they are crystal clear. I have used Zagg, BodyGaurdz, Skinomi, etc, but I always go back to SGP Ultra series protectors because of how they feel, and protect the screen. Not to mention, it is a dry install, no water or spray to mess with and no bubbles.
I just ordered mine from Amazon yesterday for $13 + free shipping. Don't have my SGIII yet, but I have been used SGP covers on my SG, and SGII. Excellent protectors.
Thanks for this share. I've tried all you mentioned. Waiting for my new SGS3 also!

Spigen is replacing them with the Nano, to be out soon, I think. I'll be ok leaving it on until then, but you might want to hold off.

I couldn't agree more. I purchased 1 based off of a post on another topic. And it is her it hi fingerprints you better than anything I've ever used before and I have purchased a ton of screen protectors. In fact, it is almost cut too big and there was one tiny spot where the adhesive wouldn't work. I'm hoping the Amazon seller will replace it if I pay for shipping. Regardless of the faults I just mentioned and the high price, I recommend the hell out of it!

+1 for this. I got one as soon as I got my Nexus and it's done great! It holds up pretty decently against scratches and actually fits the entire screen. It's pretty, and applies flawlessly.
The only bad thing, as mentioned before is fingerprints. They accumulate really quickly and I find myself wiping my phone down every few days.
I use BoxWave anti-glare protectors on all my devices. I like the Teflon-like smoothness they give to the screen, and the slight graininess they add to the display doesn't bother me.
I've not had any problems with the cheap ones off ebay. If you get it wrong, it doesn't matter as they're only around 10p each!

I'm going to purchase this because you said it's a good one! Well no but seriously, I'm going to look around some more so if anyone knows any protectors that can back it up I'll take a look. But as it stands, I'll probably be buying this one
I bought an awesome pack of three on Amazon when I first got my GNex, let me see if I can find them in my purchase history.
They're anti-glare, and you can't see your fingerprints because they have a matte finish.

where did you buy the screen protector? I searched it on google but found no results
I use the Zagg shield.
I had a decent sized not really noticeable to anyone but me scratch and it covered it up. Also fingerprints are easier to wipe off.

i prefer the 3 for 1$ you get from ebay.
everytime it get scratched you just replace it for a new one
My bad. I confused the names of the screen protector and cover. My screen protector is the Steinheil Ultra Crystal. Its not cheap, but I can't tell the difference between it and glass.

I would recommend all screen protectors by SGP
They're way more expensive, but in my opinion it's worth (Steinheil Ultra Oleophobic , would be a good choice)
Also for more protection than just a piece of plastic, i use the fantom glass screen protector which is also pretty nice.

I bought an awesome pack of three on Amazon when I first got my GNex, let me see if I can find them in my purchase history.
They're anti-glare, and you can't see your fingerprints because they have a matte finish.
EDIT: Here they are...

+1 for this. I have used several other screen protectors (ZAGG, Spigen, Clarivue and a couple of others), and this one, while not the easiest to get on, works great. Great feel and I like the way the screen looks when it is on. Because it is a matte protector, it is not invisible, but no real orange peel and it is not sticky at all - great finger feel on the screen! And cheap as well!
I hated any screen protector that I put on my Galaxy Nexus, after buying it I put on an Xtremeguard wet apply full body, after 4 months, I took it of.
Screen protectors suck and reduce the usability on the phones at times, some of them are pretty sticky or not as slippery and smooth as the glass.
PIE from AOSPA has never been so easily, I still use a case, but I bought my phone to actually use it, and I've been affecting my usability by babying it. It'll be so worth it unless you're really that paranoid about a scratch here and there.
No screen protector doesn't work for me. I work in a machine shop and metal chips find their way in my pockets daily. I prefer the non anti-glare 3 pack from Walmart or target. I forget the brand but they're cheap enough and don't interfere with usability.
