Check out the Xgear Spectre tempered glass screen protector. I'm thinking of doing the same thing myself.
There's the mercury colored screen protectors too. Not sure how good they are though

The mercury screen protectors suck lol.
The menu button and back button are actually printed on the screen protector itself. And the company name "Mercury is printed on the screen protector right above the back button.
And the mercury screen protector doesn't completely cover the front of the phone, so if you're trying to make a white S3 black, it'll look off.
I ordered three of the black and it wasn't mention, but it has a glittery look instead of just being black. I don't know if all of the colors are like this but it kind of throws it off in my opinion.
If none this bothers you, then order them, as for me, I'm getting my money back.

I believe it does have issue because there is no indication that there is a glass screen protector on the Spigen website for sale. I'm only seeing 20 items and none look like glass protectors.

Recently got the rock case and really like it. Definitely alot better then the incipio scyrillic dual I bought before. But I'm a bit worried about the screen and the top and bottom being unprotected.
Any suggestions? I have been hearing about glass screen protector (saw a video on the xda homepage even) but haven't found any that have good reviews yet. As for the top and bottom I was thinking some kind of shield maybe?
What are my options?
Thanks alot,
Alex

Does not have to be a glass screen protector necessarily just a good screen protector that doesn't change the look and feel of screen too much and won't peel off with the case!

Does it not peel up on the curved edges? And does it cover the entire screen surface? I hate when you can see the protector around it all

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).

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..

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.

Yes for a month or 2. I have so many indentions in mine it is driving me crazy. Going to the glas.t.
I installed the Zagg HD screen protector on my new Note 2 yesterday, and I will tell you it should not have been cleared for use with the Note 2. It is so soft that it feels like it's ribbed from using swype with the S-Pen... and I don't press hard at all. What's worse, it's effecting the accuracy of the S-Pen itself, as I find I need to press harder. I would not recommend this screen protector for use with our amazing device. Really looking like I might have to go naked unless I can find a very S-Pen friendly protector!
PS
Best Buy Mobile offered to exchange the protector for me and install it tomorrow, an offer which I am going to accept and deal with until I find the best alternative.
I have the extreme guard $4 body and screen. Everything works flawless.

I made the mistake of believing the saleslady at Best Buy Mobile that the new Zagg HD was just fine with the S-Pen... first mistake. I have a Rearth screen protector waiting for me at home once I return from this business trip... but ya, I am looking forward to the upcoming Glas protector as well. Any word on it's release date?
I was on the same boat I bought the rubber screen.. shouldve posted a warning but got lazy :/
And I asked sgp and all they said so far was that it was a wip... and blah blahs
The glass protector is the best doe cause it feels as it were naked <3
But ill make a thread when I hear about the protector

I'm using the zagg smudge proof protector from best buy and it is not rubbery, doesn't dent or scratch and is true full screen. So far I'm extremely happy with it. Your fingers slide across the screen better with it than naked also there's no orange peel effect either.
If anyone is interested IMHO this is the best zagg to put on.

Yes, I'll find it and post back. It's the best screen protector I've used, and I normally don't like zagg for the orange peel and rubbery feeling.

Some other may have posted this before but here is mine. Just received it on Friday. Also have a Tech Armor Protective Screen on it. I like it, fits good. I usually do Diztronic TPU Cases, I have the Matte Blue in that.. but either way here
How do you like that tech screen protector. I just installed xtremeguards full body and while you can't even tell there's a screen protector on there. I have the foggy waterstreaks on the top of the phone!! Even after not using the phone for 24 hours!!! Glad it was only 5 bucks shipped.

Its crazy cause I've always used them for other phones I had and recommended them to other people with positive results. But on the s3 I'm really disappointed. But overall its doing its job.
Also loving the case.

I have the same exact case on my pebble blue phone right now. Looks good and doesn't add much to the bulk. I have the clear and black ones as well. At first they are tough to line up with the mic holes but after a few remove /replacements they get easier.

This is exactly what I've been looking for. I haven't been able to find a screen protector that fits with my diztronic tpu case. They always peel off at the corners.
I got my LGOG in November and after having no screen protector since then I still have 0 scratches. I'm just using a TPU case that is raised on the front so when I set it down or drop it the screen doesn't have any contact. I've even had the phone in pockets with change and keys on accident. With newer phones screen protectors aren't needed nearly as much as they used to be thanks to Corning Gorilla Glass and such.

Same here. I got a screen protector (zagg) immediately after purchasing mine in November. I've been too lazy to put it on. Still, no screen protector, just an otterbox case, and the screen is in perfect shape. I would like to rock my phone with no case, but the camera sticks out on the back.
