lost towards screen protectors. - Galaxy S III Accessories

Hey wassup. before you start ranting yes I know there is another Screen protector forum. But i see its only about one product at a time. But I am lost of how there are new companies building up, comparing to old but great companies like Zagg. I used Zagg before On my iphone before and it was great. but after my galaxy s3, wanted to use the same product. but seeing how i see these protectors who are more clearer, smoother, and some that are tempered glass!. I started using SPG steinhill ultra crystal. and it was great. but I want to know is there any better that that? or what i am using is great enough? please help me out.

The best ive heard of so far is the sgp nano clear.

DBA Just Like Glass screen protector. Hands down.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

why DBA? i been starting of hearing it. whats so cool about it?

DBA does not feel like a screen protector is on the phone at all. There is also no distortion of the screen at all. It it like having an extremely tough piece of clear glass over the phone without you knowing it.

Although the Thunderbolts screen is supposed to be pretty tough, it is not gorilla glass.

Only down side is they take away the sharpness of the picture. I just run VZW screen covers. I've had this one on since launch day and it still isn't peeling or bubbling.
Um using the seidio protector. Its the only one I have used that hasn't dulled the look. Simple install.

Yea very good. I used the crystal clear one and I'm currently using that anti fingerprint one with the matte finish
Invisashield from zagg. Best screen protector hands down. Had one on my imagio for over a year and put it through all kinds of abuse. Its still on and perfect. Show me another screen cover that you can scratch the **** out of with keys and it won't even phase it. Put one on my TB as soon as I took it out of the box and fully expect it to stay on long past the life of this phone.

I got the crystal clear from steinheil and it is nice. But it has scratches on the protector. Thinking of testing another brand. Something more durable.

How is the matte finish? Does it take away from the image quality of the screen?
Not true my usb charging cable barley touched my screen and scratched it. Sad thing is I'm anal about my phone, tablet, tv, and gaming systems. I take better care of those then I do my girlfriend LOL.

I am also looking to matte finish protector.... will check out the mall today
My crystal Steinheil is amazing. Try that.
I hate my Invisashield with the "orangepeel" texture. It also has a kind of tacky-feel to it.
I bought my girlfriend a sonix (by Lenntex) screen protector 2-pack (clear and anti-glare) for her iPhone and they're great! The finish is really hard and super smooth. It feels just like the naked glass. I'm waiting for my Thunderbolt ones to deliver any day now.
I purchased the protectors from Verizon. They work fairly well I have several scratches in the protector but not the screen. After prolonged usage though I can't clean the protector all the way anymore. Going to have to take it off and put on the second one that came with the kit.

Hi I recently got my verizon galaxy nexus, and really don't like cases but I would like your personal opinions on screen protectors( witch brands or models you like or dislike) lastly what do you prefer wet or dry install?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
really? another one of this threads.
This is getting ridiculous. You really should search a little. There is like 50 of them in the accessories and in general. But the cheap eBay ones are fine and feel better then zagg or xo and don't have the Orange peel effect. Do not get the Verizon ones unless you can't wait. The screen will scratch easier then gorilla glass phones. I know from experience.

actually the verizon screen protectors are not that bad....I have one on my nexus and there is not a single scratch on it...it is non tacky and feels smooth ......and I have had it on from Dec 2011 until today...check out the pics.....

none to be honest. but if i had to pick one it would be xoskins
Realook would be my first choice if I wanted to splurge for the perfect fit/cutout. Haven't actually tried it for the Galaxy Nexus but it was THE BEST screen protector I'd used for my Galaxy S II.
Aduro MEMBRANE would be a very close second for cheapest and best bang for your buck. Plus you get 3x!
I tried xoskins and it's too rubbery/bubbly/not as clear! I don't know how you guys like it. Try the Audro for cheap and it feels SOOOOO much better.
$5.95, free shipping and you get 3x. That's less than $2 each!
You must not have waited for it to dry. I have been using XO Skins for a long time. I value quality over quantity ever time.
dont use screen protectors, ruins image quality.

I'm 100% sure you didn't wait long enough for it to dry.
It should appear as if there's no protector at all. The texture is slightly less smooth than naked screen but it's nowhere near rubbery.

The Aduro's are pretty decent but I find the adhesive to be extremely inconsistent.

in pouch... no screen protector or case
in hand... case with anti slip
in pocket.. screen protector and or case

Best screen protector

What is the best screen protector for good clarity and can show across the screen very nicely and decent stretch protection although the corning glass is scratch resistant. I have the flex vs right now and there is a big scratch in the center of the screen that's annoying and has rainbow effect on the whole bottom left side that is quite annoying on white screens. I have the nano clear from the neo hybrid car I might try it is the nano clear good?

I love the zagg HD screen protectors. I may be a bit bias though. Work at best buy so my discount on them is huge.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
if you want a screen protector that doesnt scratch easily like your flex did - stay away from zagg. Look at the spigen products like you are. The one that would be least likely to scratch is the ultra crystal
Hi I bought a pack of these and have to say I am really impressed. They fit well and are ultra clear.

I have the nano clear I'll look at those if it scratched through the screen protector the corning glass I would think would save it.

I ordered the "next generation" protector from Bestskinsever.com, on sale for $5. I had one on an old clickwheel ipod from 2006 that was still going strong, and the new generation promised less orange peel. I have to say, I HATE screen protectors, but I'm liking this one. Individual holes are cut for everything, no U channel cutouts on top & bottom like the Zagg HD. The orange peel is minimal, and it's smooth as can be, feels like glass. I was really expecting the crappy, rubbery, finger drag feel that wet protectors are known for. I'd definitely order it again.
Here is what I orderd...according to Amazon it was shipped, hoping to get this in the next few days...
http://www.amazon.com/REALOOK-Samsu...=UTF8&qid=1345167798&sr=8-23&keywords=realook
Xoskins works nice.. wet application but very little orange peel. Distortion is minimal too. Comes in normal and case fit which leaves a tiny bit on the edges so cases don't peel it up.
I'd buy another one.

Zagg HD and the Note 2

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.

screen protector (zagg or ...)

I'm trying to do some research for a screen protection, back in a days I bought my INCIPIO case that came w/ screen protector and it was sort of settled I figured no need to get another one since this one came w/ it, well after a while (ab)using it I think it's time))
so I'm thinking to get ZAGG, but I want to get some of other people's opinion on that or maybe better option out there..
please advise
I just got my XO Skins screen protector, absolutely the best, it is crystal clear, you don't even realize a screen protector is there.
It also does not affect the feel of the screen, glides across easily.
I have a ZAGG. Meh. If they didn't replace it at the mall kiosk for $5 everytime I wanted I'd be less happy with it. You can definitely tell it's there.

Get a GhostArmour screen protector, a thousand times better then the Zagg.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I used Zagg on my HTC Incredible and it protected it just fine, but it wasn't as clear and smooth as some of the other brands mentioned here. If you choose to go with Zagg though, make sure you buy it online and avoid paying $20+ at some chain retailers.
The lifetime warranty is what keeps me coming back though.

+ 1000 for this! I have ghost armour on my galaxy nexus and nexus 10. Can't beat the lifetime warranty and replacement! Once it's on and cured, it's like nothing is there.
Zagg is lifetime warranty too

Zagg has a disgusting orange peel effect and its a ***** to clean, since it is so rubbery you need water to effectively clean it. That's been my experience and the reason I switched to ghost armor.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I'm still not clear on which screen protector to get... amazon has xo skin and few others but i couldn't find GhostArmour there. I prefer to get a hard screen protector ( i think it's better so I can reapply it if needed ), clear is a must (no tint) and w/ warranty.
I got the zagg for my nexus and I'm not too pleased with it. You can see it and my finger doesn't glide across smoothly. currently looking for another one that's more clear

Sorry to hear that, I want to try something else other than zagg, a lot of people complains(

I have the XO Skins and have to say its really good. I have had it replaced a few times because the oils build up and they are pretty good about replacements. It used to be better as they wouldn't require you to purchase it and then they will refund it but such is life. I would defiantly recommend it.
