So I bought the InvisibleShield for my EVO (I'm guessing about a month and a half ago) and it get's realllllyyyyyy dirty looking with usage. I'm also not too fond of the way sliding my fingers over the screen feels, I think it's taking away from the touch screen experience of the phone? Is there any way to clean it so that it looks like a regular screen again and not some clouded screen protector? I almost want to take it off but I paid 15 bucks for it and that would go down the drain
They will get brownish over time man. I thought zagg was the bees knees but they're really not. I ended up going through 2 of them both full body shields I spend about 27 bucks a piece on lol. First one I peeled off because I got anoyed just like you are, second one I pulled because the touchscreen just wasn't smooth anymore. What a waste of money right? I don't like that the zagg makes the screen less responsive so I've learned to rock a naked screen. No case no protection just bare naked phone. But you're correct I definitely agree on it making screen less responsive. There is no way to clean it or at least I don't think so. I will never use one again.

Just get rid of it. I've rocked my evo sans screen protector for since December and I've not no scratches on it.
I bought one and returned it the same day after install it. I thought it was crap. It made the screen feel rubbery.
I just have a Seidio case on it and that's it. Not a single scratch since release day.
Yeah I feel like I'm going to have to ditch it here pretty soon. I thought this protector was the best. It may be the best at protecting the screen but it ruins the experience of the phone.

I know I said I would never buy again; well I bought 1 2 weeks ago for my MacBook pro (80 bucks full body) and its already black/brown. I definitely will never buy zagg again lol. The evos screen is coated so it wont scratch just sitting in your pocket. It will take alot to scratch it. Naked screen is the best.

I have thought about taking mine off....only have screen but I am just too paranoid about the screen
Well I bought my evo 2 days after it came out, and up until 2 months ago, I never used a screen protector and the screen never had one scratch on it (and I kept it in my pocket with nothing else in the pocket.) My original screen suffered from the "B" spot and I eventually got a Sprint repair store to replace it for me (after trying 2 other Sprint repair stores.) Since I received a brand new screen from HTC I wanted to make sure it was protected, but judging by what others are saying now, it seems like I don't even need a screen protector.

sounds like you got some greasy @$$ hands. stop eating chicken and such.
EDIT:: I have had a screen protector on my phone for 335 days. The first one I had ended up folding up in a corner due to my own behavior, and I got one the same day bc of how clean my phone looked when I took the original invisible shield off. (i showed no mercy on my phone, it has been dropped, put in back pocket and sat on, put in the same pockey as keys/needles (j/k), and even tested the effectivness of it on the old protector (keys to the screen like a b!t(h)
It's not turning brown or anything, its just blurry and it gets dirt sports on it and then I have to rub really hard to get them out, it just looks dirty overall, like spots all over it. And on a white screen you can see all the streaks from where I slide my finger to unlock it, scroll, etc.
I had a Zagg also but didn't like it for the same reasons as you. I now use an HTC screen protector I got at Radio Shack. Its a little pricey but its still in almost new condition and I do dusty construction work for a living. ( I use it in conjunction with a seidio ext. rugged).

I just did the same thing with my xoom. I had the thing on there for less than 24 hours, just couldn't stand it
Zagg shields are tough as **** but they take too much away from the experience of using the device. And now that OEMs are making screens out of magic scratch proof glass the shields are unnecessary, imo.
I actually took mine off and the screen feels wonderful....just hope I don't scratch it...even if I do I have a backup and insurance I guess
All of those type of protectors will feel different than the screen. The best one I have used was the bodyguardz. It didn't have the orange peel feel to it. And they have them in dry apply now so no more liquid on your phone.

Lol there 15 dollars here and they only cover the middle of your screen. The one's he is talking about cover the whole screen there da bomb.
These are some of the best screen protectors I've found and they are less than 50 cents a piece.

Ghost armor has been pretty good actually. It's smooth and all. The fingerprints don't come off as easy as when I has no protector. It also scratches easy (but they go away). I had a couple of small scratches here and there on my screen, it filled them in, can't see any of them. The shield is getting kind of gunky around the edges though.
Kind of a toss up...I think I like the idea of applying a Ghost Shield after you've dinged up your screen from mishandling it in your pocket for 5-6 months. Makes it look cleaner, and doesn't feel too bad IMHO.
That's the response I always get. I have the Realook screen protector, I think you can only get it from Amazon.
I've been very happy with Ghost Armor.
I like Seidio's Ultimate Screen Guard.
HTC EVO 4G screen protector
This is where i ordered my screen protector, much cheaper than local shops. crystal and just like you never use a protector on your screen.
I forgot the name brand, but I have a privacy protector. Not because I want to conceal my privacy but because most privacy protectors offer the thickest of SP's!
100% recommend Zagg.
Great protection, dosn't smudge, and lifetime warrenty. I have sent mine back twice now (first time was because I managed to get dirty under it, 2nd because I shattered my screen) and I get a brand new set. Peel it off send it back, done.
Hey,
I agree zagg all day every day! Their protectors are cheap thin, the feel is amazing, they protect from scratches and you can beat them up but it keeps your screen safe! they are easy to apply with solution, and best part when you want a new one just pay a few bucks for shipping send them back the old one and its free!
this video says all! hope i helped!

Zagg is by far the best imho
I had ZAGG on mine for several months. It worked great. I took it off because I didn't like the feeling of it compared to the "glass" feel. I've had it off for a couple months and still no scratches and I like the phone a lot better without it.
I just tried the new anti-glare version from zagg, it was horrible!!! It was like looking through crystallized glass, especially when there was white background. I went back to the original zagg and love it.
I use the one that came with my OtterBox. I thought I was going to hate it but rarely even notice its there any more.
Clarivue. Can barely tell the difference between it and the glass. Just bought my gf some generic ones off Amazon for her shift and the quality was really good for a quarter of the price. Don't think I'll be buying the name brand versions anymore but if I did I'd go with clarivue.

I also use the one that came with my Otterbox case. Before that I also used Invisashield(Spellcheck ).
The touch screen is more prone to breaking from pressure or impact then from scratching.
yess finished my fiends...
I have to say Zagg is the best. For one, if you have them (or someone like best buy mobile install it) both the screen protector and the installation have a lifetime warranty. Meaning if your screen starts to peel off, take it back to Zagg get a new one free, and get the new one put on for free!
i dont like screen protectors and cases and mi phone is perfect but depends how you use it
i've used an the otterbox one for a bit and then a zagg when that wore off but now i have SGP STEINHEIL anti fingerprint one. i didnt really care bout the fingerprint part but liked that it was slightly matte so its wayyy easier to see with sunglasses on
I'm using the one that I came with the otterbox. It has been on since September, with heavy use/abuse. Its just barely starting to peel at the corners.

Zagg since launch day. Has a couple of pretty decent "marks", but when the screen is on you cannot even notice it. It is the only protection that I use. No peeling so far.

Zagg! You cant beat the warranty if something does happen to it. If you can find a kiosk let them install it. Its the only thing I will let someone else work on my phone.
Does anyone know if the zagg invisible shield for the skyrocket compatible with the t989? The guy at best buy told me it would work, but i I would to confirm before I open the packaging.
Thanks
Just go on Zagg.com or amazon.com and get the one that is made for the Tmobile Galaxy s2, that would be your best bet.
quite sure it would
they are identical except a flipped accelerometer

Zagg is over rated and overpriced. It feels like rubber on your screen. Go with the classic plastic screen protector.
Zagg can also take quite a beating, a lot more so then the cheap 5 packs you can buy.
I had mine put on a Zagg kiosk. Worth the $5 to save me the 5 minutes. I had Zagg on my Vibrant, was very happy with it. Happy with it on my T989, too.

Overpriced...yes. Overrated....not sure about that.
OT: The thing about Zagg full body protectors is they do offer amazing scratch protection but virtually no drop protection.

They still scratch. My vibrant has several scratched on it now, and get an unlucky one in the middle of the screen and it will distort colors under it and always be noticeable.
I mean I know what you mean, I had no protection on my vibrant because every time I put something on it I just wanted to take it back off because a bare phone feels so sexy, but an expensive phone with scratches (or worse) is not.
For the record: I kept my vibrant in a pocket that SOMETIMES had a plastic pen or mechanical pencil with it. My keys/change and phone where never together. I don't know how I got the scratches, but I did. A few small scratches was not the end of the world, but a cheap plastic protector isn't that bad and can be peeled away later.
Dont forget about miniscule particles of sand and dirt that can be anywhere. They can easily scratch even the hardest glass. I put a scratch in my iPhone 4 and took supreme care of it. Not taking that risk again.

I have the ZAGG invisibleSHIELD DRY full body protector on my T989 and i paid $30 for it at a t-mobile store. The lifetime warranty info was inside the package after i opened it and it comes with the squeegee so you could flat out the protector onto your phone screen. I love it even though it was a little bit pricey, it was well worth it anyways.

Did the same thing today! I put the back on with ease, and I actually like the look of it.
Had trouble putting on the screen protector, misaligned so I peeled it off and redid it.
A few hours ago there were bubbles, but they seem to be disappearing. There's only a few left and it's only been about 5 hours.
If they are all gone with 48 hours, I'll be completely satisfied.
I did save some money from them though.
They had a deal buy 2 get 1 free. I got the dock and zagg, got a free d30 case. Awesome case!
I really want to get a screen protector for my phone, but I don't know where to start. I want a good anti-fingerprint protector but I used some that are just horrible as in sometimes the scratch still occurred on my actual screen. As of right now, I don't have a protector but I'm very careless .
Good thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24472222
On my HD2 with a cracked screen I still have my Zagg, that is what I voted for in the poll. On my G2 I have the protector that came with otterbox case.
All my friends have zagg so i think that's the best one.
I only use Skinomi. Great fit, don't show fingerprints, and you only have to pay shipping if you ever need one replaced. If you check on Amazon you can probably find them on the cheap. They also come with good applicator spray and a squeegee so you're good to go right out of the box.
I use zagg on my sensation. Its locally available @ most malls and comes with a lifetime warranty if they apply it in stores or @ kiosk. Keep you receipt, any bubbling or inperfections, they replace without questioning. No brainer for me.
I used a Seidio one and some army type screen protector from radio Shack.. The army one was 20 and it was crap but the cheaper Seidio one on Amazon was great
Zigzag is the best imo looks invisible and if fitted right won't come off, the scratch thing is cool to, put a small scratch in it and watch it heal!!

Screen Protectors
I'm actually a cell phone salesman and the best that I've found all around is Zagg. You can get them online for around $10-$15 if you look around and they give a lifetime warranty, you pay $3 shipping and return your old screen if you make a claim. A lot of people complain that Zagg's shields are too rubbery, but they have different types. The anti-glare works out in the sun and is smudge proof, and they recently released HD, which is the same glossy finish, but feels like glass instead.
I've used Ghost Armor's, Otter Box's and around a million obscure off-brands from Amazon. Zagg takes the cake, hands down.
Zagg works for me...!
Got to be Zagg for sure
I am normally not the type to write a review of a product just simply because I'm not usually impressed by a product. Upon purchasing this phone I looked at it as an investment a year down the line something new come out and I want to protect this in order to get the best resale value of the phone. I hate using a screen protector I always have felt that no matter what I used it took away from the color and clarity of my screen and also ended up getting a lot of a fine scratches on it that I never really noticed on the gorilla glass.
Installation for this product literally only took me about five minutes and I am no expert when it comes to installing screen protectors. Though the screen protector does not have any healing abilities due to its surface like other screen protectors of finish on it is absolutely smooth as silk which is what I was looking for since I use Swype to text. The other ones with the healing ability the surface is just too sticky to use swipe texting in an efficient manner.
The product is a little bit pricey I picked it up at a local Best Buy store for about $27 with tax but it is well worth it to a protect my investment that I plan on selling in the future.
It comes with a lifetime warranty so I do not even have to worry about damaging the screen protector as I will be able to get a new one in replacement of this for the longevity of the phone. I'm not a rich person by any means and $27 for a thin piece of film for my phone is a lot to me but I have to say it's definitely worth it.
Pros – silky smooth finish that easily wipes off any smudges that may occur. Very tough military grade scaring protector used helicopter blades. Amazing see-through clarity zero opaqueness. Very easy application takes literally minutes.
Cons – price is a little bit high probably could've got a cheaper online but I did not want to wait. Removing the extra water and bubbles seems almost impossible to get every single square inch of it out I'm hoping they will evaporate in a few days.
I hope you all enjoyed my first review of a product.
Good review. I have the HD on my phone as well. I was a bit worried at first, as there seemed to be some "orange peel" effect after installing. After a couple days, I'd say 90% is gone. Fortunately, I got mine for free using a BB gift card. If I had to choose one to purchase, I'd probably just go with the SGP Ultra Nano Clear. Cheaper, much larger install base, and easier to lay on - plus, I wouldn't be fuelling Best Buy.

I bought 4 and I've used Invisishield on other phones. I do recommend it to a lot of people. While the HD is clearer than the regular, it can eventually become riddled with dents and scratches. Thankfully, as you said, there is a lifetime warranty on the screen protectors so send it back for a new one. Just pay the shipping and handling.

The lifetime warranty is a plus. I've also found that scratches / dents on the screen will repair itself in about an hour or so. Kinda spooky.
I don't have the HD version, just the regular zagg invisibleshield, but I'm really disappointed with it. They actually put a zagg logo on the damn thing, which is ironic considering "invisible" is in the product name. It's really quite noticeable on the white s3, pretty big bummer, in addition to the terrible feel and poor cutout quality. I will never buy another zagg product.
It's funny, I I asked the guy working at a zagg kiosk about the branding, and noticed his iphone did not have it. He said it was because of the size of the screen. Then blamed the logo on the fact that some company called body armor or something also started offering phone skins. So if another company offers a similar product you differentiate by making yours worse?
Does the HD version still have the zagg logo in the bottom right?
I seem to remember reading the HD version does not repair itself well or at all? The thread (which I can not find) even quote's a Zagg CSR explaining that the HD is thinner than the original, and because of that it doesn't have the same healing advantages... DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER, I'M SIMPLY REPEATING WHAT I READ HERE. And it was because of that thread when I bought MINE, I bought the original NON-HD version, because I was familiar with it and KNEW it repairs itself. I can live with the slight orange peel knowing that if I put the phone in my pocket with my keys, my phone case + screen will be protected. :good:
I keep going back and forth on buying one of these, the HD version. Your review may push me to try it. I had the original on a previous phone and I didn't like the orange peel and the sticky feeling. Thanks for the review.
I had a similar Zagg branding on my old HTC vivid. Turned out that Zagg logo scratched right off. Almost like scratching off a lottery ticket. Might give your Zagg logo a gentle scratching - bet it comes off.

I have the HD installed presently. I like it. It's a good protector. ...until I think about how much I paid for it. It is a couple bucks less than the XGearlive tempered glass protector that is coming out later this month.
Friend works at Future Shop, got it for $7 and did professional installation ( or experienced ), and yes its silky smooth
I generally dislike screen protectors and have posted many times how they aren't necessary. That being said, I had a Zagg HD installed at a local Best Buy Mobile just to see if I'd like it. It's been on several weeks now but every day I contemplate ripping it off because of the dents and orange peel effects along with some tiny debris that collects along the edges sometimes but I've held back so far. I don't think it'll last much more than a few weeks though........ I miss my perfect and bare screen but I don't miss my paranoid expectation that a screen scratch is inevitable.

I have the Body Glove case, which I really like... but the lip around the front of the screen is so tight, it pushes the edges of the InvisiShield up off the screen. Luckily I was able to push the shield back down with apparently no damage, but now I can't use my case. I still have time to return it, but now I'm wondering what case is compatible with the screen protector?
