Just ordered one...will give feedback when I receive.

Skinomi protectors are nice, had one for my sensation and it was like butter

Good deal, but I'm just going with TPU smoke translucent case and no protector. Gorilla glass seems pretty tough

I own a painting business so i must have all the protection i can get but i guess i could just use my evo 3d that i have flashed to boost for my work phone...thats about all its good for...lol

One word "Sand"

Are these better than the one that comes with a TPU case?
I've used Otterboxes before, those had excellent packaged protectors, but I'm new to TPU.

Thanks. Ordered it

Figured I'd ask here, instead of making a new thread. Does the GSII have gorilla glass like my original Epic?
Not sure why anyone needs a screen protector if so. I know some people still manage to get scratches, but I'm not sure how. I did some key-slamming-&-scribbling-tests on my first epic before I sent it in to assurion, and couldn't scratch the thing for nothing. I also use it at work so it gets beat up pretty good. Never had one scratch or blemish, and still don't.
I usually like my phone naked, but with this one being so thin, I'll probably be forced to get a case so it fits better in my hand (like I had to do with my Hero)

Epic touch 4g is gorilla glass from all the specs ive seen online.
I personally tend not to use screen protectors. I find just don't put it in the same pocket as your keys and your set.
I grabbed a TPU case the black matte one of amazon from TPU-cases and it comes with a free one. I might give it a shot, but screen protectors just seem to kill the touchscreen experience IMO. I've always run my ipod-touches without them and never a single scratch.

anyone have a review of this yet??

I have had skinomi protectors on all my devices (Xoom, iPad2, Htc evo, 3VO)
You cant go wrong with this protectors.

Really curious to know how this fits with the TPU cases. The screen protector that came with my TPU case was a little too big to use at the same time as the case.

how does Skinomi compare to invisible shields ???

Having used both the two are very similar. I had the invisible shield on my pre and it had a bad orange peel look to it. On my Inspire in used the Skinomi be I didn't like the orange peel look of the invisable shield and I have to say I thought the skinomi one was far better the other it was clear as day and barely noticeable. It was smooth as glass I was very pleased with it. So much so I ordered one for my gs2et.

Ordered this. On its way. Will let you know how it work.

Actually it dose a pretty good job. Now I'm not saying there will be no finger prints but I would say it cuts it down to about half of what you would see without the protector.

Best case and screen protector?

I've kept my phone naked since I got it, but I feel the need for a screen protector and a case. I'm looking for a case that will protect my device good, and a screen protector that is not built into the device but protects the screen well. I'm not wanting the Zagg invisible shield because of its orange-peel like texture, and I don't want an OtterBox due to its price. Any opinions on what I should get?

go ballistic its only 17 on ebay or amazon and screen protector is your own call i have a privacy one on my phone

I've been running with the black Seidio Surface Case with holster belt clip and the Steinheil Crystal Clear screen protector since day one. It's good protection without much bulk. I got them both from Amazon.

Check out Incipio Feather on ebay, very minimal size and comes with a screen protector.

what are people using for heavy duty protection my job is pretty rugged outside in the elements a lot right now i m using the seidio convert case and its nice but its dosent have a built in screen protector it comes with a stick on one but i ve never had good luck with them i had an otterbox defender with my evo 4g and it was great i alsohad great customer service with otterbox i think i m gonna get another defender series otterbox i m just curious if there are any other hard core protective cases i should look into

What are some good extended battery cases? I'm in the market for a new extended battery and a case to go with it. Please do not say Trexcell, I received a bad battery from them and emailed them numerous times w/o a response.

i like the trident aegis case. I come with covers over the headphone jack and usb port and dust covers over the mic and speakers. Best part on $19.99 on ebay with free shipping and it comes with a screen protector.

Steinheil is definitely my favorite screen protector. Used on my old SGS1. Prefer matted because it eliminates sun glare/ oil, and rainbow effects. Here is the manufacturer's site.

FYI: It's been confirmed in another thread, but our screens ARE made with Gorilla Glass.
ALSO: Here is a link for otterbox.com promo codes to take the price down some if you're still interested: retailmenot.com/view/otterbox.com

I just use a generic black tpu case and generic screen protector. But I keep pretty good care of my phones so I don't have a need for a heavy duty one.

Looking for a slick "Like Glass" screen protector.

So I've been looking at the screen protector threads around here, and while people have been pointing out good deals, and bad ones, I've yet to see anyone really comment about the "Feel" of their screen protector.
Long story short: I HATE the Zagg I have on my Evo 3D. Playing Fruit Ninja and the likes on it is impossible unless I want to coat my screen in butter so it's more slick. A few rounds and I feel like I'm going to burn my fingertips off! Hate, hate, hate. That's all I feel for Zagg. Anyway, I'm planning on leaving the phone naked (No case) with just the screen protector on, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good screen protector that will fit the bill?
I had a Sprint branded screen protector for my original Evo 4G, and it was perfect! It was as smooth as the glass, fit well, and I could hardly see it unless I looked at an angle, so maybe they'll have one at my sprint store on release day. (Albeit at a 50000% markup. Ew...) But I'd rather not spend 40$ on a piece of plastic. Lol.
Anyone got any suggestions?

One is Flex and one is Ultra Crystal. Not sure of the difference between them, other than price.
Edit, good info on both of them in this thread. I think I might try the Flex.

Have had a Spigen on my iPhone 4 for over a year and it still feels great. Will be getting one for my S3 as well.

If like glass is what you want i'm thinking you're gonna have to go with a dry application protector

Thanks for the replies everyone. Gonna go with the Ultra Crystal, sounds like what I want. Reviews on the Flex make it sound like the Zagg, with the wet application and the loss of smoothness on the protector.
Now I'm going to have a pile of accessories to go with my phone that I don't even have yet.

Haha, join the club! I have 2 full body XtremeGuard protectors, 3 XtremeGuard screen protectors, a Fosmon TPU case, Otterbox Commuter case on order and a TriboScreen screen protector on order. Also have an EZOPower electroluminescent charger cord on order. About to order a car holder and a desk dock and I think I'll be good for a while

exactly i had abunch of skinomis during their .95 sale on hox and it was horrible. the flex is exactly the same (wet, flexible application. rainbow effects galore.)

Sgp flex hd is fantastic but....
I just ordered the sgp flex hd as a back up. I love spigen products. With that said, You can't get any closer to a "glass feel" then a tempered glass screen protector. I've only found one online and just ordered it. The link is....

I know this specific thread is for NOT using a case, but is that tempered glass protector thick enough to interfere with most cases?

Spigen has one for the iPhone. Hoping they release one for the S3 as well. Is that xgearlive a good company to deal with? Would these types of screen protectors work with the C-Pen?

Spigen/SGP said that they won't be making the Glas t glass screen protector for the galaxy s3 because of its curved screen. A shame, but understandable.
Makes me wonder how xgearlive are going to manufacture a glass screen protector with a decent fit.

It won't be able to go to the edge, not as it's curved.

hopefully xgearlive will offer a discount for s3 users, the gnexus has USD 5 off.

Best case/screen combo

Hey guys after just recently destroying my nexus I'm looking for a good combo for my s3. I had an otterbox for my nexus which was pretty good but am open to suggestions. Any help greatly appreciated.

*Edit* Huh, posted in the wrong topic, but oh well I'll give some input anyway
Personally right now have an aluminum bumper, with a replacedable battery door to color match it. If I added a tempered glass screen protector on this, it'd probably be a pretty good overall protection for the device.
How did the otterbox allow the device to get destroyed? Thought they were pretty solid.

Thanks for the reply. I fell down a rock face and landed on my phone . Ok, I am currently looking at the Commuter for the S3 and either a best skins ever or a bodyguardz screen protector. Does anyone have any feedback on any of these products?

I just ordered an otterbox commuter and it comes with a screen protector. I am sceptical on the quality of that protector and lucky for me the steinheil curved crystal I ordered two days ago also just shipped, I guess they were out of stock for a bit. I had a steinheil ultra crystal on my evo lte and it was a perfect fit as well as smooth as glass and invisible. Hoping the curved crystal is as good but I'm going to give the otterbox one a try first.

I have heard mixed reviews about the Commuter. I am hoping it becomes easier to press the buttons after a week or so. Yeah, I wouldn't use the screen protector it ships with either. Who makes a good anti glare screen protector?

Im runnin with the zagg hd and the white spigen ultra thin air. Its a nice 1, 2.

Screen protector

I got my gnex for a quite time now and finally it got scratch. It's not big one, but it annoys me. Now I'm in for a screen protector. Since I dont knowanything about them, can you recommend me some good ones that has good features like sun light reflect, no fingerprints, unoticable, etc. (I dunno, those kind of stuff). and if possible link on ebay
cheers

I use the skinomi tech skin.

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.
EDIT: Here they are...

I'm using the Herdanon protector. It's amazing. I forget it's there.

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.

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.

+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.
