Had high hopes for it after installing one on my ipad mini. Turned out great and is clear as day. Put one on my note 2 and got water trapped under the protector and its not drying up after 4 days. Even put it in rice, no go. Waste of money. Suggestions? Should i pull it and redo?

If you put on your iPad and you're happy with it, then the HD shield doesn't suck. You just botched somewhere and ruined the installation. Take it to a Zagg kiosk in the mall, and have them apply it.

It's not botched as it went on fine with no bubbles. It's the fact the liquid never dried up despite putting it in rice. I don't t have any zagg kiosks near me or I would. I'm just afraid to pull it off and try again.

Nope, took it off and redid it. Still too much liquid under the protector after sitting in rice to dry quicker. also its now stretched a bit. Probably just a defective shield. I'll buy something different for it.
Try the iSmooth ones. you get 3 protectors, dust removal thingy. I did an install and it was completely bubble free. In fact, you can't even tell there's a screen protector.
i heard good things about these and bought it last night.

Not to bump this but i bought these and they are awesome. Dry install, barely noticable and crystal clear. only paid $16 and just bought another pack for the future. Apparently they dont scratch easy, we shall see.
After trying everything, and I mean all of them... I fell in love with the iSmooth protector. It's thicker than the normal protector, which aids in the install. Plus, if you leave em a good review on amazon they send you three extra protectors for free. I find the fingerprints to show up less than with the sgp ultra crystal as well. YMMV

+1 to ismooth, after trying most waterbase and film base, this is actually the best screen protector i have ever tried. It actually makes the screen better. Hard to scratch (which is unlike i have never seen for a film protector) and almost invisible to detect is on.
Wet screen protector is NOT recommended for its gooey surface which can interfere S-Pen.
I used Realook and Glassil, and they work fine (the latter seems to have much better scratch resistance).
I may try Clarivue tempered glass in the future.
yea
i hate screen protectors
I had the Zagg HD on my S3, ripped it off after a week. The 'self healing' is crap. There were so many indentions on the screen from my fingernails or from miscellaneous things in my pocket. Just ordered a Mime tempered glass screen protector so I'll see how that goes. I've never used the glass protectors before.

I installed my invisibleh myself and ivliked it at first. After a while, it just gets a tad cloudy IMO...or those lines show up..
That was back on my EVO. I removed it because that a pen snagged it and while the funky film protected the screen, it left a wrinkle in the screen and that darn thing never reformed itself.
Got stenhiel and was fine till my EVO went swimming XD.
I'm so much happier the hard clear screens than dreadful no scratch films that look like orange peels on clear coat.

I have the invisible shield and installed it my self. I love it no bubbles and it takes a beating. I do notice I have to clean it with that cleaning cloth it came with every once in a while because slight smears will not clean up with a quick wipe from a t-shirt. Other than that I don't regret buying it at all. Worth every penny for me.
I had phantom skins on my previous phone for 2 years, and it was great, now I got same on Thunderbolt.

i got an Invisi-Shield from Best Buy Mobile also. some guy working there installed it for me and it did seem slightly off & the next day there were still some bubbles on it. i ended up going back again and this time a girl re-installed it for me and it's perfect now.
moral of the story, ask for a female employee to install it for you.
I used to buy ghost armor, invisi-shield, and another expensive one...can't remember the name? Anyway, now all I get are the cheap ones. The one I'm running with right now is the free one that came with Seidio Convert from Amazon and honestly its the best SP I've ever had on. Can't tell its there and replacements are like 3 for $3 or something like that?

Zagg is still the best IMHO. Sounds like someone didn't install it right for you. I've installed my own on my last few devices and they lasted me yeeears, and still work and still have the invisashield on them

I just go my own and I did it myself. Follow the instructions, take your time wet, wet and wet your hands and the film. Use the tools they sent you and squeeze and squeeze over and over. My final results was crystal clear and no complains.
What I dislike about the invisible shield is the finger slice on the glass, it feels different and somewhat different to move screen.
I use SGP Steinheil Ultra Crystal. I think its the best screen protector I've ever used. Its clear like glass, smooth like glass, and scratch resistant like glass. Most people who see my phone don't even realize there's a screen protector on it. I've used Zagg before and I didn't like it. It has an orange-peel effect, reduces screen visibility, and isn't smooth when you slide your finger on it.
I went and found a Ghost Armor kiosk in my mall and gave it a shot. Much better than Invisishield and Verizon ones! I will not use another screen protector brand ever again if i can help it.

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.

It increases a friction a bit initially but over about a week it'll smooth out and write well. I don't get any stylus marks. I clean the protector occasionally with zagg foam and it's like new. I have the full body version. As a warning if you get the back protector it needs to be cut to accommodate the s-pen. I've been working with zagg to get them to fix it. I ended up just cutting mine.
I am hoping for glass smoothness. I finally got the SPG glas on my Note LTE and it really spoiled me but they don't make that in 10.1 size.

I also have Zagg screen protector. It does have resistance. The pen does not move freely on the screen. It does leave marks on the protector.
The screen can self healing so most of marks will disappear after a while.
Zagg suggest uses of Turtle Wax. Performance is acceptable with turtle wax apply to it weekly.

Thanks, gmfeny, for the heads up on Zagg. This was discussed in the larger screen protector thread. I'm at the armor suit website now. Did you get the screen protector for 19.95? Is it Glossy? This looks like it adheres similar to the Clear-Plex brand. Thanks.
I got it from amazon I think for around $19 and it came with the clear body shield to protect the rest of the tab. It is glossy not one of those dull anti glare ones and its a wet application or whatever its called so you can't really mess up putting it on.

I got a Steinhill (SGP) for $20 from Amazon. I use them for all of my devices and they stand up really well. They are difficult to apply because one spec of dust will ruin it. Take your time applying (in a steamy bathroom is helpful) and all will be good.

I use the Xtreme guard screen protector. It is similar to the Zagg protector people have been talking about, It is self healing so has no scratches, even after my 2 year nephew got on it with a pen...
At the moment Xtreme guard are having a sale, If you buy 2 protectors use the coupon code 75off2 and you'll get a good deal.
It is also put on using water. You need to soak the protector in water, take off the cloudy protective backing and put it onto the note 10.1 screen wet. Make sure the tab is off. It's pretty easy, take about 10 minutes and once on is really good. If you need to take off it comes off fairly easily but you won't take it off accidentally...
They also have a body shield too that keeps everything looking new...
Just purchased a couple new protectors, code is still good... Would've been $15 for screen and body protector X2 if I lived in America but since I live in Oz it cost $19..
I got my clear plex screen protector yesterday and is awesome. I go through screen protectors like crazy. Heard about clear plex the other day and truly impressed. Stylus does not stick as I use my note for graphic designs and freehand drawing.

Was the clearplex hard to install. I have had really hard time with Zagg in the past so I am a little leary to try to install the the clearplex because I don't want to mess it up.
Installed a bodyguardz last night. I've trusted their gear on all devices. Epic 4g, iPhone 3g, S3, and now my note 10.1. It seems to be pretty smooth. Easy to install with the lube they send. Doesn't seem to keep finger prints and comes with a fancy microfiber as well.
Hi, you can try replacing the tip of the stylus with the full white plastic tip. It will be smoother.
Any body get these from this guy? Just want to know if they are pretty good or not. It says sold 8,000 +.

In my experience all screen protectors are pretty much the same. I got one free with my £0.99 case I got off ebay and it's perfect. As long as you apply it properly ensuring there's no bubbles or anything it should be fine. You have 3 in case you mess up the first 2 applications and for $1.65 you can't go wrong!

False. Some are just horrible. Some are cut horribly. Some just lift. Only a couple are half decent.
I've used several ZAGG protectors before - they are a little pricey, but have a lifetime warranty (if it peels off, they'll replace it) and work really well. I got mine replaced for free when a corner peeled off after 1 year of use.

I use xtreme guard protectors and I love them. They're wet mount, so you use slightly soapy water, but I find that it's a lot easier to remove bubbles when applying a wet mount protector. I never have issue with them peeling. I had to trim some of the edges to get it to fit my TPU case, and even then, it doesn't peel.
I picked 'em up online for $1 ea. Highly recommended

I never have issue with them peeling. I had to trim some of the edges to get it to fit my TPU case, and even then, it doesn't peel.
I picked 'em up online for $1 ea. Highly recommended

Had one of those cheapo glare reducing screen protectors. Got tired of degraded display. I've got nothing on it now. Looks amazing. Anyone else using the S3 this way??? Thoughts???

I HATE screen protectors. I used my HTC evo, and shared with my 3 and 4 yr olds for 2.5 years and only used a screen protector for 1 month. I ended up after those 2.5 yrs with only a couple very very minor scratches.
Decided to keep rolling naked cause if I'm paying so damn much for this phone I want it to feel like it should.
I am going naked too.
Insurance is a wonderful idea.

Glare-reducing screem protectors tend to do that, whereas a regular clear one will not. If you put a screen protector on very well you cannot tell its there without looking for the edges and cutouts and I find the only difference is sometimes they attract fingerprints a bit more... but that tradeoff is well worth it when 3 years later you can pull off the protector and have a literally like new screen.
I used to worry incessantly about scratches or dings. Then the cases started getting larger and larger and I'd have a phone that was twice as thick as the day I unboxed it. I've since gone "naked" on my SIII and it's holding up beautifully. The screen is clear and unblemished and it's nice to have a phone that will slip into any pocket without catching or bulging. :good:

Best screen protectors I've ever used came from spigen SGP ... Here is one for the S3. They are pretty damn close to the original glass in both smoothness and oleophobic-ness, and are pretty easy to put on to boot.

I used it for a little bit this way. Loved the feel. But I noticed some people complaining about the fingerprints were showing more and more and some glide was lost. The problems appears to be that the oleophobic coating wore down. Decided to go back to utilizing a screen protector...about the same time lifeproof released the nuud and fre for the s3. Decided to go with the fre. I have tried multiple screen protectors before: zagg, spigen, even cheapos, and none can match the feel for the real thing. They come close bu just don't cut it.
Haven't had one since day one with this phone. No damage in over a year. I'll never use one again.

never have, never will
i have no idea how the naked glass feels like Lol, always have a ismooth film protecting it.
I love mine without the screen protector.. But I still use it.. Not for protection porpoises.. That's silly because of the gorilla glass.. I use it for the touch.. The matt touch is amazing and I hardly notice it..

I'm not a big fan of screen protectors... I use the Samsung Flip Cover and it works good enough.
I´m not a fan of screen protector too! I use as the only protection for my galaxy s3 an FitBag
and i can say it´s an really nice thing
someone took my screen protector off so I said oh what the heck can happen, it has gorilla glass, and after 1 month the screen got scratched so I had to put another protector on to hide the scratches.. .. . ..
Me personally i love the protection of a screen protector, i cant stand scratchs on my screen... So i double the protection screen protector , plus otter box defender case which has a built in screen protector

I love the "Just Like Glass" product, I can't even tell it's there... cheaper than some other ones too.

No to screen protectors. Hate the feel and glare. One year with the S3 and not a mark, knock on wood.

I took my screen protector off, I was sick of replacing them all the time. I haven't got a scratch yet but I am careful
