Ive been using a zagg for a day now and I dont like it. It makes the home/back button issue wayyyyy worse

These two are basically identical. Along with any other wet apply.
The zagg will probably be cut better. But the ghost armor will probably have less orange peel/slightly thinner.
the best screen protector would be an sgp. http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/htc/htc-one-screen-protector-steinheil.html
Skinomi!
+1 for Spigen. I have one for my GN10.1 and I couldn't be happier.

Get GA installed by them and you have lifetime warranty, including damage, on the screen protector
My vote is on GA, never liked Zagg's orange peel feel. GA is completely smooth
Martin Fields is the best.
I got a spigen first, and botched the install, so had to throw it away, but what was correctly applied looked great.
Then I got a Zagg, and I'm very very disappointed. The back looks good, but the front has what looks like a fold line, and is definitely not cut to adequate dimensions.
Also, the orange peel look is horrible.
Bottom line: forget the Zagg, get a spigen (I have no experience of the ghost armor)
I wonder if with zagg will have their protector available in the matte style for the one. I like it better than their normal version. The cut will also never fully cover the screen so that when you use I case, there is no worry if it pushing the protector up

They got a 3 pack of the clear ifrogz at the AT&T stores for 10 dollars. Super easy to put on with no bubbles, and it's cut out perfectly, sometimes I forget it's even on.

I used a Skinomi on my wive Nokia and I like it very much, dont see it at all and doesnt seems to affect the touch at all. So I ordered a Skinomi from Amazon and going to install that one on my HTC One. They are only 10 dollar.
Neither, I always get phantomskinz, since ye olde palm pre days. I've tried several brands and in my experience they are always well cut, has zero orange peel, and 'heals' better than other brands (especially skinomi which seems to quickly gather marks)
Non-disclaimer - I don't work for phantomskinz just have been very happy with them

Phantom Skinz
I second the Phantom Skinz vote, as well. I'm not associated with the company at all but highly recommend their product over Zagg. Never used Ghost Armour, so can't comment on that. Great price and customer service too.
Using a Zagg for the meantime. It doesnt fit well. Lots of gap on the sides.
Awaiting my SGP + Clear Slim Case which is delayed until May
Using a Zagg, since I couldn't find anything else in my local area.
I had the guy at Best Buy apply it for me, since I'm usually terrible at applying screen protectors due to being an absolute perfectionist on how it comes out.
I have Ghost Armor on my Nexus 10 and it is great, fits well, perfectly smooth, few gaps. They don't have them in stock near me until next week, but I'll most likely be having it installed then.
I've used the Spigen and I would say their cases are great, but the screen protectors are flaky. My first was the nano and it cracked around the home screen. The replacement cracked after I dropped it. I replaced that with the Slim.tr which peeled up around all the edges. My wife's Slim.tr also had peeling issues. They've since stopped making the slim.tr and have refunded my money. I'll be looking into Ghost or something else.
Also, spigen support is hit and miss. Sometimes you get a response next day, other times I've sent 3 follow up emails over the course of a month before they responded.

so best buy installed an invis shield on my tbolt the day i bought it. the thing has always been too big, it bubbles up so bad i cannot even put a case on it. today in the heat i have tons of huge bubbles, never seen this happen before. so i got ticked and ordered a phantom skinz. i think ill stay away from the shields from now on.

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?

Problem is... It so freaking hard to find Ghost Armor...
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
Sent from my TBolt using my f***king thumbs...
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.
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'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

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.

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.
I've been look around to find a nice screen protector to use. I've been using a crappy $1 from eBay, which don't get me wrong does the job, but I'm looking for something nicer. Something with more quality and maybe a different option, like oleophobic or something.
I've been looking around and reading a lot of reviews. It seems I'm stuck and I can't decide.

Your screen protectors scratch easily? I don't even think that they are near necessary with this phone. I've had mine for about 5 and a half months, I work construction and carry it around in my pocket without a case or screen protector and I don't have a single scratch on the thing. It's neigh invulnerable the only damage to it is a thin scratch along the bottom back by the speaker but its not on the glass so I don't care.
The Zagg Invisibleshield is pretty good, but it has kind of an orange peel look to it. I've only been told good things about the Steinheil Ultra Crystal screen protectors. You could always try that, or the other screen protectors they have.

XO skins does a great job little less orange peel look and not quite as sticky as zagg invisible shield though both are good products priced about the same. I've used both xo on my e4gt now zagg on my evo 4g.
Check out the Steinheil screen protectors (Amazon search: Steinheil Epic 4g Touch). They are pricey, but well worth it. I have the Ultra Crystal on mine and although it still picks up fingerprints they wipe right off with a microfiber cloth. I've had it on since I got my phone 4 months ago and there is not a single scratch on it anywhere. They do have different types (like the oleophobic) so you should find what you're looking for.
i use from radio shack or walmart there universal in a blue package u get 5 for 11 bucks if ur good at puttin them on like i am 1 last me 4 months and im a metal fabricator... im rough. gl!

I ordered a Skinomi screen protector from Amazon about 2 months ago. This is the worst piece of crap I've used. I read decent reviews prior to my purchase and nobody mentioned that it is extremely soft. I probably have 20 or so fingernail indentations on the protector which is totally weak. I'm interested in hearing what others think are the best since I will be in the market for a more durable screen protector that covers the entire screen.

I agree with skinomi being on top, still have a skinomi on my original droid razr maxx for almost 2 years and you cant barely tell its on there.
I bought a skinomi and I think it sucks. When I think screen protector I think of something hard that can not be scratched. These "tech skins" are some kind of soft gel. I actually gouged it with my fingernail while swiping.
I use the xtremeguard. Feels rubbery and not as durable as I expected. I scratched it intentionally using my fingernails and it failed me.

using skinomi.. it is a soft type material but protects well.. and the items it comes with just makes it easy to install. if you gauge it with any small scratches or even your fingernail.. dont worry about it, it heals itself back.
Here's a follow up on the verizon anti glare 3 pack. I'm still on my first one. It's got quite a few tiny marks but not visible when display is on.
Once in a while my defender or Trident cyclops cases will make the edge bubble ever so slightly but no dust has accumulated and upon removal of cases with built in screen protectors it goes away.

Long story short, my mother just got this phone a few days ago and I know the amount of abuse she inflicts on her phones. She normally just throws it into her purse with all the other stuff. I'm trying to find a protector that can handle whatever may hit the screen. I've used Skinomi and like them but I've used a tempered glass protector and I like those a lot more. Do any of you have a recommendation for what type to get?
P.S. I already have found her a case, so the body of the phone should be safe.

I haven't seen any of those for the Ultra series yet. I have a Skinomi, and have had it on the phone for 5 months now - it's just fine. Occasionally the case will start to peel the edge a bit but it's always easy to get it to adhere back down. In fact, I haven't seen that happen in weeks.
So yesterday I removed my anti glare screen protector (verizon 3 pack) because it was due for a change. The screen was so hard to see, very shiny and reflective, but it did look slightly clearer.
But I became weary and installed another one. Lol.
Anyone have clear full body armor?
