iVisor AG screen protector for GS III

Hi Guys,
I noticed this screen protector has recently been released for the GS3 and wondered if anyone has tried it out. I searched but couldn't find any reports on the interwebz Any user reports?

Other than being anti-glare, i loved it. No finger prints and installation is a breeze. If they come out with s clear model, it would be a huge winner, but the A.G. I just couldn't live with in the end.

+1 for they need a clear version. I just couldn't stand the tacky "pebble blue" trim that went around the brushed metal design. Also the cutouts for the menu and back buttons made the fading feature pointless since you have two huge black holes where they belong.

Yep, a few of us have tried it, I dont think any of us ended up keeping it though. I wrote a review on it in this forum, might be a few pages back but its here.

S III Durability

Hi folks
I'm considering getting the S III but am not sure about the screen durability as i've heard a lot of mixed reviews. How durable is it? Looking at some break tests on youtube suggests that the screen is a lot more sensitive as compared to other phone. Is that true?
btw, what is a good case for this device ?
Thanks!

I dunno if this counts, but I keep dropping mine and the only damage so far is a little scratching on the corner of the outer plastic bezel when I dropped it once pretty hard on some rough tar. I haven't seen any other blemishes on the case, and so far no scratching at all on the glass. I loved my Nexus One, but the glass on that scratched pretty easy just sitting in my pocket. Not so with the SIII, no scratches at all on the glass in the 3 mo I've had the phone.
I don't have a case for it.

Bigger the screen... The easier its going to break. Simple.

+1 but on the flip side I always baby my phones and with the sgs3 its slim and fits in the pocket just fine. So no issues here for me and this awesome screen.. I highly recommend it to you.

The gorilla glass on this phone is garbage. ive never dropped a phone and a couple of weeks ago i slid it into my pocket and my pocket was broken. It fell like 2 inches from the ground on to pavement and wrecked the display and the bezel is all dinged up. gonna fix the display and get rid of it

Similar experience...phone dropped from my pocket while sitting, landed on the corner, cracked screen...probably hit the weak spot on the phone, regardless, shouldn't break that easily IMO..

It is not durable at all compared to my previous phones (gs2, hd2) if you drop it there will be serious cosmetic damage. The plastic is extremely soft.

Get an Otter Box, you pay that much for a phone then spend an extra 50 bucks to keep it safe.

Get a case if your gonna pick up the GS3... its a beautiful phone but you need to make sure you can protect it... I dropped my phone 4 times since I got it and thank God I bought a case for it. If I didn't have one, then my screen would have been shattered already

Op, keep in mind all these guys who broke their displays are a small percentage of a whole.

yea that's why i'm hesitant in buying it (3 actually). The issue seems widespread and if it is a case of bigger screen then it is a serious design flaw or maybe a manufacturing flaw. At this point im probably going to put off buying this phone but let's see if things change

What case did you buy? What do you like and dislike about it?

Do not have it yet, but Im going for the otterbox defender. Only negative I have heard from some is that the built-in screen protector lacks a bit in terms of looks on screen. Can always remove that tho.

I just bought the generic case from T-Mobile store... its grey. I mean its okay. It gets the job done but I'm looking to get the seidio case with kickstand. I just found that on the top left hand corner of my phone, I have a tiny dent on the side... its irritating the hell outta me but I only see it when I take the case off... guess it could be worse...

The built-in screen protector makes the display look cheap.

I feel like the S II was way more durable. But that's why I bought insurance for this phone. Never had insurance on any other device. And the fact that I have an extended battery and there really aren't any good cases for extended batteries made me get the insurance.

It's a phone and it uses glass, it doesn't matter what phone it is if your looking at Youtube and their hitting it with a hammer or dragging a razor over the screen then it's gonna do as expected. It's almost comical that people do these tests considering you spend money on the phone you should be responsible for it and take care of it. Accidents happen and the carriers know this so instead take care of your property, it doesn't matter who made it or what some moron with a hammer says.

all that is fine but generally speaking one does expect some level of durability for a device that costs upwards of $700 dollars, specially if the company is touting the latest and greatest gorilla glass 2 as one of the main features of the phone. Cellphones break when dropped, everyone should know that. But the amount of complaints i've come across regarding the S III and the different ways the screen is getting damaged is quite abnormal to say the least.
Anyway, i'm still debating whether i should pass on this phone or go for it. Anything new coming up in the coming weeks?

You never hear the whole story either when people give these reviews, "I had it in my pocket and the screen cracked" turns into I was drunk and fell down the stairs.
I still have all of my devices in perfect shape and it all comes down to how well someone takes care of their things. If your gonna carry the phone in your pocket with your car keys then its gonna happen, I see it all the time and like you said at $700.00 you should act like it's worth it. You want an honest opinion on the device? It's worth every penny but the one thing that would make me warm and fuzzy about it is if HTC built the body. It still feels solid but theres nothing like a well built frame like you would find on the One S or X. No other device comes close to the functionality and multitasking that this one does and I own 8 myself (different devices not all cells.)
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

yup the One X is really nice too. Too bad t-mobile doesn't carry it.
I'm going to call t-mobile again and see if i could get a better deal on the S iii's than what they offered me ($179 per phone)

Zagg Extreme Invisible Shield GN2

Hi all!
Having seen Zagg EXTREME Invisible Shield torture test video filmed at Best Buy on the SGS3 (on YouTube - I am not allowed to post the link here), I was impressed to seek out this product for the GN2. I found it locally but I noticed that it didn't say "Extreme" anywhere on the box. I didn't purchase. I decided to call Zagg and inquire further. What I was told is that if the product does not say EXTREME on the outside cover of the box, it isn't that version of the product. Glad that I didn't have that product installed thinking that they were the same!
Extreme is a separate entity that was not made for every device, unlike the regular Invisible Shield product which is virtually made for many devices. The difference according to the Rep with whom I spoke, is that EXTREME can hold up to what we saw in the torture test, whereas the flagship product is merely a scratch-resistance product.
I contacted the interim head of the company and got the "standard issue" response from the secretary. They don't make that product for the GN2. They don't have a date for release of said product. And they don't know IF they will ever make the product for the GN2. That is not wise.
Here we have a product which covers the phone entirely, allows us to keep the beauty of the phone without an ugly case and makes the phone virtually impervious...and they don't know IF they want to make this product for the hottest phone on the market?
Apparently they don't "get it." Time to bring out the brigade. While I am but one end-user, I represent a great many of us who would love this product rather than an ugly, bulky case to detract from the beauty of this beast. If you feel the same, Please contact Zagg, Inc and ask them to please rush the Invisible Shield EXTREME for the SGN2 to market. There is an email addy for the CEO on Zagg's website also. For snail mail:

i dislike zagg too but their dry shields are actually really nice and there is no chance of liquid damage while putting them on.

I prefer ExtremeGuards to Zagg. I have ExtremeGuard on my Echo that's still in perfect condition, even after knocking my pocket knife blade first onto it. The Zagg on my Photon didn't last a month before the back started to peel off.
So of course I got ExtremeGuards for my Note 2 and it's held up remarkably well to the S Pen

Thank you Casperi (and everyone for your responses). I simply cannot see putting my beautiful phone inside an enclosure. Aside from that impressive YouTube (Best Buy) torture test what really sold me on getting film was remembering that I had a similar product on my CLS. My car got "attacked" one rainy night by a runaway grocery cart (funny now, but not funny then since I had designo paint, lol). I cringed on impact. (Ok, so I actually cursed, but it wasn't ladylike, k?) I got out and inspected the damage. It was horrible. It looked like Wolverine had run by in one of his fits and swiped it. Next day, I took my baby into the dealership who said they didn't think the damage had gone through. Drove down to the Car Armor shop, lo and behold they peeled the film off and NOTHING...not even a skid mark was there. I suspect that the Zagg EXTREME product is a lower grade, but similar film. Anyway, it's a moot point since it isn't available now.
Update: I called the Car Armor shop and they are going to install that product on my phone for me! They do it all the time for their clients who are having their cars done. I know how good this stuff is firsthand. I am confidant that it will work well in this application.
I want more than just scratch resistance for my phone. I want to know that if I happen to drop it, the screen won't be shattered. So, this turn of events is probably a godsend. Gyrlz like pretty phones that stay pretty...and tough!

So, can you please share that Car Armor shop address and/or phone #?
Thank you.

WTF.... What am I reading?? Ya let us ALL know about this stuff so I can put this ****t on my whole car... Then I won't even have to have my vehicle insured!! Think of the LONG term here everybody!! :laugh: :silly:

I love my note 2 but it's hardly the hottest phone on the market. The s3 has sold 60+million units and the note 2 is just above 5 million.
I would really like to hear more about this CarArmor though.

C'mon now Kush...How long has the s3 been out? The note GN2 is at 5 million in 2 months. And that on the heels of the S3 being a hot seller and those buyers being tied to contracts. Plus, the GN2 had form factor issues to overcome in the buyer's minds. Whereas the S3 is an average size phone. Not to spread it on too thick but, the GN2 has also accomplished the unthinkable. People are actually dumping their iPhones and getting the GN2 or changing their minds about getting the iPhone and getting the GN2 instead. I hear it from people daily. "I was going to get the iPhone but..." It's a hot phone and it lives up to the hype (Well, Tmo users got shafted on Multi-Windows and LTE for a bit but I heard that it's coming.). I'm giving you a hard time, Kush, lol! I really love my GN2. But back to Car Armor, lol

Takin a poll on screen protector preferences for the note 2 ,and mainly how the privacys are nice but jack up the screen quality, if not for the pesky cross lines that angle across lcd they would be ok, Seems yeda is a popular brand that presents this ....

We make screen protectors in Southern California from HD Japanese film, but not privacy filters yet. Working on it.
They come with a 3 year warranty; don't bubble up over time. Easy to install and will not peel off. More info on our website Hagzinc. Also available on Amazon and Sears.

Since ive posted ive torn off my privacy protector and canned it.
Probably just get an hd zagg
I Only use them to protect in pocket use from quarters Pennys and miscellaneous pocket junk that could scratch screen

I agree. I am not a fan. I like the flip cover the Note 2 for protecting the screen while in my pocket. My wife on the other hand, puts a screen protector on her phones the minute they come out of the box. She normally gets a lot more for her phones when she sells them but oh well.

I can't go with out some form of screen protector mine has already saved a ton of scratches off mine. But the privacy ones jack things up to much .

Yeah, I think we might be the few. I'm super careful and also put the phone in my pocket facing me (always make sure nothing else in there). Seems to do a great job of keeping all the smudges off. ( I dont have much to begin with but) I seriously can't imagine putting anything on the beautiful screen. But I think for a lot of people who don't pay much attention to these kind of stuff, maybe the protection is worth it. Certainly beats scratches.

I just bought the new glass version from sphein 'sp' i got on a discount from 36 something and paid 21. Its not a film, its 9h hardened glass. Its the best money I have ever spent on screen protection. It really feels like going bareback.
One of the biggest plus's is you wont see single finger print, no sumges, no glare like bareback. The edges are rounded unlike my buddies glass version. His was the first I had ever felt and had to have one. I just didn't know my version had the rounded edges which makes a great deal of "feel" difference and doesn't snag in you pocket like his does. I would say if you can afford it then its atleast worth trying.

I dedicate one pocket for phone as well and have never had a scratch that my naked eye could make out. I have had quite a few Android phones over last few years as well.
I do immediately put a case on it though.
Fancy pants Note ||

I don't know how people can get by dedicating a pocket just to a phone.
What about a pen and pad, smokes and lighter, gun and ammo, keys, wallet, sunglasses, knife, not to mention charging cable and adapter...and those are just basic never-leave-home without it essentials?
I love privacy protectors but haven't found one for the note 2 yet. I frequently have to report on people next to or near me and they should not be seeing what I am writing, that is between them and hr, not them and I.
I also need to make adjustments to cad drawings supplied by clients which they should not be privy to, as they are internal company documents at that point. If the client is standing right there, how else to manage that?
Frequently I have to use my MyTouch 4G Slide phone for these things since it still has a privacy protector on it.

yeah i dunno where you live to need to carry around gun, ammo, and a knife O_O ... anyways, use a car charger and you won't have to carry around a cable/adapter and i'd just stick the rest of your other things in a backpack ... or something. keys, phone, and wallet are really what i just keep on me.

I just ordered one and cant wait to get it... this phone catches peoples eyes and i hate it when theyre reading my emails and texts etc..

I have to say I've been through my share of phones and a lot of different brands but the galaxy note 2 by far is the best phone ever in my opinion. From performance to the size of it its just great all around. Most people see and and say "its way too big" but when you hold it in your hands especially if your a guy its the perfect size. I can't see myself going to a different or smaller phone so I cannot wait for the note 3 :thumbup:

Military grade durability would be sick. What comes to mind is something like an outterbox type of housing

Take my word, this phone is durable as a brick, I have a mime glass screen protector and a a seidio active case, I have a physically demanding job and drop my phone at lease two or three times a month on concrete. And the phone still works great! Here's a sad but funny story which I can laugh about now about durability about two years ago I bought a ipaq 200 off Craigslist I checked it out thoroughly before I bought it from the seller, as soon as I got home I dropped it and the screen cracked and couldn't be viewed.

A woman I work with once got a Droid RAZR Maxx. She was always so smug about it like she had a better phone than me...I had an SGH-I777 Galaxy S2 at the time. I am "the phone tinker-er guy" to many and she thought she was hot stuff "out-doing" me with her phone. Droid this, Droid that....whatever.
Of course, being the way I am about my phone, I bought an extended battery that was a couple of mah more than what the RAZR Maxx had. I don't really know why I did it - - it was petty of me.
"Sadly", she wouldn't use a case and "sadly" she dropped her phone and shattered the screen.
Before all this she would throw digs at me about how cheap and plastic she thought Samsung phones were. She ended up getting an S3 - - remember I had an S2 - - because all the commercials said it was the best of the best.
My upgrade came up and my wife got me my Note 2 (I love her so much! - not just because of getting me my phone, of course).
This phone is the best, hands down. I don't care if it doesn't have a 1080p screen or if the screen doesn't go edge to edge. The battery is phenomenal and it's more than fast enough for me. I am not sure I need any phone bigger than this either. Perfect for me!!
I want to thank all the talented devs that continue to make my Note 2 the best to me.

1080p looks good on a 50 inch display!

Exactly... More battery drain for something that isn't even visible tbh..
I have used phones with a 1080p display and couldn't really tell the difference, aside from the hit to battery life
