Are there any smooth glass like screen protector?

I'm looking for something similar to realook screen protectors. I don't want anything to expensive I'm fine paying about $10 for two. Please nothing that's similar to zagg.

SGP is good, their ultra crystal is great. They're about $11.99 for 2.

I bought a set last night. Hope it's a worth it.

I was always a fan of Boxwave's screen protectors. I don't use anything now because of my Otterbox, but they were always great with other phones I had.

I'm getting my replacement phone tomorrow so I'm doing an order for my screen cover from Hand Held Items. So far I have been really pleased with their service, and all the stuff I have ordered for my poor Incredible.

Seidio sells what you want, you get 2 for $15. Best to order from a place where shipping is free.
I personally like these kind. Zagg are hype.

SGP ultra crystal is by far the best screen protector out there. level 4 hardness, ultra smooth glass like swype, no change in sensetivity, easy installation and great price. interested in seeing the new ultra optics anti-fingerprint, anti-glare with optical qualities of the ultra crystal.

+1 for the sgp ultra crystal. I've tried a lot of different screen protectors and this is the best both for quality and installation. Perfect installation is a breeze with these screen protectors.

+2 on the SGP Ultra Crystal. Though I just switched to the Ultra Fine anti-glare / fingerprint. It took a little getting used to, but in the end I am happy I made the switch.

Recently picked up these: http://phonedevil.com/
Fitment isn't absolutely perfect, but they are easy to apply and give a feel almost identical to glass.

My sgp ultra crystal is great visually. Its only noticeable by finger when you have excessive oil. Daily use, its been great!

+1 For the SGP. I have it and it feels great. Plus, you can't see that its there and it doesn't even sacrifice viewing angles.

I've tried lots of them and can't recommend much else but the Zagg. The only time I notice it is if there is light reflecting off of it when the screen is off and I can see the "orange peel" effect. These are the only shields that I can beat the crap out of and they don't scratch.

Back from the dead I see. Im still using the same ones I bought which are good only if you have a case cuz you can really feel them from the sides without it.

Anybody using the Zaggs notice a sticky feel? Mine feels like it's sticky all the time. I like the protection, but miss the glass feel.

Screen protector suggestions?

Are there any good screen portectors out there that dont compromise my screen quality? I saw someone with a matte textured screen protector on his iphone which looked neat, but are there any that would effect screen quality for the E4GT? Finger print resistance would be a great plus too.

I've tried:
SGP Ultra Fine
SGP Ultra Oleophobic
Sprint clear/matte
Reallook Crystal
The SGP Ultra Oleophobic is anything but, it got terribly messy quick. The SGP Ultra Fine takes away too much of the screen quality due to its matte finish. By far my favorite is the Reallook Crystal. These fit the best, are inexpensive, (2 in a package) and don't seem to fingerprint as bad as other crystal protectors I have used. They also do not reduce screen quality at all, it's the best protector I have used on the E4GT.

I tried several different dry and wet application types and ended up with sgp steinheil ultra crystal. You dont even know its there except that it gathers fingerprints a bit faster than no protector.

I've been using Ghost Armor since my Evo and I love it. It's $35 for the whole phone and only a $5 replacement charge for whenever you want it redone. It also carries over from phone to phone.

I have used zagg dry and wet and have put the sprint oem protectors on customer phones. The zagg dry is awesome. I have had problems with the wet in the past but bought it anyway when I got my et, and it came off right away. Got the dry model and it is substantially better.

+1 on this one also.
I've tried a whole mess of screen protectors for all my phones and I always end up back with SGP Ultra Crystal. I hate matte finishes because they make screens look like garbage so I usually lean towards the clearer versions
I have had several people comment that they couldn't even tell that i had a screen protector on (which is the look I am going for). Downside is, because it feels so close the the original glass, it also attracts fingerprints just like the glass would but this is not a deal-breaker for me. If you ever buy a "cheaper", no-name version, some of them actually look almost as good initially but I have noticed they tend to scratch WAY easier than SGPs.
Hope this helps

+1 on Steinheil here as well, easily the best screen protector you can buy. I have the Ultra Crystal and my only complaint is that it attracts fingerprints a little quicker than I'd like it to.. but this is true for all crystal protectors. Keep a microfiber cloth at home

I can't believe nobody mentioned Ghost Armor besides myself. I can't see any downside to it. If any of you have a rep in your local mall, you should really give them a shot.

so the sgp crystal is worth $14?
or is there somewhere I can find it for less

Its definitely worth it. I wasn't able to find it cheaper any where. At least it comes with two..

Yep another vote for sgp ultra crystal. Best quality screen protector I've ever had and as an added bonus, the easiest and fastest install i've ever had. literally took a few sec to align and bam it's on. no dust underneath or anything.

Got the SGP ultra crystal and it's really easy, fingerprints collect but easy to apply.
I've used www.clearprotector.com in the past and my phone survived many falls without a broken screen or scratches.

I just buy cheapest ebay protector from ebay ( i think it was... $2 for two)

You guys know that it's just a piece of plastic right?

I heard the Xo skins are decent but these sgp ultra crystal look interesting too. I have a zags screen protector now and I'm not a fan of it. Fingerprints, 'orange peel' look and although mine was used there are colored specs visible in some light, idk kinda weird.

Screen protector. What to choose?

There are two kindes of screen protetors: matte and glossy. What to choose? Advantages and disadvantages of matte and glossy.

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.
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi

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.

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.

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.

+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.

screen protector that fits

I have gone through 3 of them and they all seem to be a little off from fully covering the screen has anyone found one that cover 100% of the screen ?

Screen protectors need a little gap from the edges, or they'll peel off.
Any reputable brand should be good. Ghost Armor, Zagg... Etc

I'll never use a plastic screen protector again. Tempered glass is the only way to go. It's easier to put on and protects way better. Not to mention how wonderful it feels to the touch!

Before purchasing it, you should ask the seller and you can see the reviews first. Mostly, the customers will tell you whether the screen protector fits their phone. You can have another try, hope you can find the fittest one.:laugh:

Try out the halo branded protectors on amazon...I did a review of them a while ago and for the price, clarity, and fit you can't go wrong...
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

What i recommend is that you search for screen protector specyfically for you model... I suggest you buy Niklin Crystal Screen Protecotr - a bit more expensive but fits the screen perfectly and looks great..
Also, a handy tip. While changing the screen protector I recommend you do it in the bathroom after you have taken bath/shower- The steam does not let any dust sit on your screen and makes life much easier !
