Does this kind of screen protector exist? - Galaxy S III Accessories

I'm looking for a screen protector that covers the entire front of the phone rather than just the screen itself. And I'm looking for one that can be removed and re-applied, because I can NEVER apply them properly the first time without getting dust and air bubbles (even if just a couple) trapped underneath it. I've tried it many times with my current phone and other phones, and I just can't get it right. And since I keep a screen protector on for several months, at the least, it's a long time to have to stare at a wrongly-applied screen protector.
I learned about the iVisor (http://www.amazon.com/iVisor-Screen-Protector-Protection-Samsung/dp/B008I59S34) which meets these requirements, but reading the reviews makes it appear not so great. I saw some other screen protectors mentioned on this forum but they were with a strong matte finish which really reduces clarity and sharpness of the screen image, rather than a clear finish which doesn't do that.
Can you recommend such a screen protector, if they exist?
(Btw, I've never had a screen protector that covers the entire front of the phone rather than just the screen. Does it cause any problems because it covers up the buttons or camera or speaker or anything like that?)
Thanks.

Answer is yes try USA Ebay .

Maybe this: http://www.amazon.com/Tridea-Protec...15&keywords=curved+screen+protector+galaxy+s3
It doesn't cover the button or speaker, though...

In Canada we have ghost armour. It covers the front screen with holes for all the sensors. Buy it once and they will re apply it for 5 bucks everything you want a new one.

Any particular recommendations you have on this? Thanks.

I buy tech Armor screen protectors. Amazon sells them for about $7 /3 pack. They hold up well, and they have clear and anti-glare versions.

First i used spigen curved crystal which was cool at first. But dents easily. Youll see markings when something sharp hits the sp.
Then i switched to realook 3d forming just now. Fits great. My phone looks like without SP. Very clean. I had several tries before i had a good fit, but the SP still managed so well.

hopefully these will stick down all the way to the edge as opposed to the SGP oleophobic.

they are dry application. but with most dry applications might have the edge-of-screen-protector lift.
i'm waiting for my xo skin, so someone might want to try this out and report back.
I'm interested in how these fare. I opted for XO Skins yesterday before I knew about these. I usually go with SGP dry applications but I can't stand not covering the whole screen. I got the impression that dry applications are just not able to cover the full of these curved screens without edge imperfections.
If someone gets these, please let us know how it worked out.
Looks like no cutout for the front face camera
Ok, so I just got my Martin Fields screen protector today for my Galaxy Nexus. This was the first time I've used their brand, previously relying on mainly Zagg, but also quite a variety of other brands for all the gadgets I've had over the years. I can easily say that this is the best Screen Protector I've ever owned, by far. Like they say, it is absolutley crystal clear. My screen actually seems to be more vibrant than it was without the protector, and I certainly couldnt tell that it was even applied.
Installation was a breeze...fired up the shower to steam up the room and bring all the dust down, then just wiped my screen clean and slapped it on. Took me a few tries to get the alignment perfect. If you get dust under the screen during installation, the tape trick described on the packaging works excellently. All the bubbles smoothed out easily and my phone was ready to use right away.
The protector is about one tenth of a millimeter from the edge of the screen, which is just enough to keep it from seperating and attracting dust. All-in-all, the most exact fit I've ever seen with any SP.
Anyway, I just figured I would post my findings. I spent an hour reading forums like this before I bought them, with no concrete answers. Between the full device fit, crystal clear look, and camera protector, I have a new favorite brand. Any more questions, feel free to ask me!

I've been through almost 20 Zagg protectors in the past, which are all wet installation. I've had just as many edge-of-screen lift & dust issues with them I have with dry protectors (and I had most of them installed at the Zagg carts). After all, that moisture dries up eventually.

Fits the curved screen perfectly, no issues there. Either they anticipated it and shaped the SP accordingly, or the curve isn's significant enough to have any effect. Overall, very pleased with mine, and would definitely recommend.

There's no reason to. There's virtually no difference noticible when looking through this.protector, and believe me, I tested it with before and afters. They look just like the pictures.on MF's site. The Gal. Nexus protector comes with a rear camera protector as well, and it is just as clear. That was one of the main reasons I tried this brand, because I was tired of scratched camera lenses.
This one looks awesome but unfortunately I've spent a fortune trying out screen protectors for my Galaxy Nexus.

+1 for the pics. Unfortunatelly it's been 2 weeks since I've been looking for screen protectors and have not found one that I like. The wet ones scare the crap out of me and the dry ones I found are cut way to small. Without real live pics I'm not sold. Ordered one from 3M Vikuti for about 15$ and I was really dissapointed. Never buying 3M again for anything, thats for sure.

I hear that. Currently have a zagg. But also have a clear-coat, sgp flex, and a ghost armor on the way. I guess i prefer the wet install type.
Ordered. Wish I saw this before I ordered the xo. Pretty pricey though. I hope it's worth it.

How about fingerprints, does the Martin Fields help? I have the SGP Oleophobic and am very happy with the anti fingerprint properties but wish it covered more of the screen. The SGP would be perfect if a little more coverage.
+1 more for pictures. I've heard absolutely nothing conclusive about screen protectors for the GN and I've spent the past 2 weeks trying to figure out where I should spend my money.
Just ordered mine aswell, lets see.
... that camera lens protector has me very interested.
i'd love to see some before and after pics to see if it blurs or distorts photos at all.
Got mine today and I am quite pleased with the screen protector. Think I should share my experience with those planning to buy this
First the quality of the protector is no doubt very good, it is crystal clear and very resistant to fingerprint and smudge. The screen look as good as before and there is no "rainbow" appearance of any kind one might see on cheaper alternatives. Touch screen response is maintained as well. It dosent seems to attract dust unlike some other static screen protector I tried before.
However the dreaded lift-of-edge issue is still there It may not be very obvious in daily use, but it IS noticeable. I have attach a few photos so that you can see the degree of the lift. It seems that the only way to avoid this is to have a smaller protector to avoid the edge....or use the wet type like xo-skin
For the rear camera protector its quite good from my experience and doesnt affect the image quality or the AF-speed of the camera.

Atrix screen protector

I've been considering getting a screen protector for a while now. The problem I have is my hands sweat very badly (gross I know) and then the touch screen on my phone goes crazy from the water on the screen. I have never had this problem with any phone I've had before now. I think it is because the Atrix touch screen is more sensitive than any other phone I've had. I was wondering if a screen protector would fix this problem and what some good brands were to try. Thanks

You should always have a screen protector on any smart device you care about. One grain of sand in your pocket can ruin your screen (and your day). That said....
A screen protector will likely NOT fix your problem, as water (sweat) registers as a capacative touch. For a screen protector to "fix" the registration of sweat, it would have to also "fix" the registration of a desired capacitive touch (finger, stylus, or otherwise).
The only manner in which a screen protector could help is if you could find a very hydrophobic one (the repells and beads water), though you would still need to soak up that water with your shirt or a handkerchief or something. I'm not sure they even sell these. Google is your friend, here. Use keywords hydrophobic and/or water-repellent. Good luck, my friend, and let us know if you find anything interesting!

I tried few of a kind and decided to go with Otterbox Defender case which has a transparent front panel.
Refurbished case is about $20-25 and as good as a new one.
No need for screen protector. No mess with applying one...
What if I put on an average screen protector and then sprayed it with some form of water repellent?

Water repellent spray wouldn't work because the screen protectors are vinyl or polyurethane and are not absorbent. Those hydrophobic sprays only work with an absorbent material like cloth or real leather.

I have to disagree with the statement that you have to have a screen protector, we have gorilla glass! I have never had a protector and my screen looks great! As for this situation, a protector that has a little rubberized feel might work well. I would read reviews on Amazon and buy the one that people complain the most about it sticking!

FWIW, my wife has been w/o a screen protector since April and I've been with / without one on and off since June.
Still not a single scratch on either phone, however, without one the screen is too smooth, so I'm thinking of going back installing one.
Hope this helps...
I went without a screen protector for a few months. I took the phone outside and noticed TONS of very fine scratches. You could only see them in direct sunlight, but it bothered me enough that I got a screen protector shortly thereafter.
I was thinking to buy a Vikuiti ADQC27. Has anyone tried it?
Thanks
I have to second the rec for the Otterbox Defender case. Having the screen protector built in is pretty awesome and in my experience, it has withstood all kind of liquidy stuff on it and plenty of goopy stuff as well. Like those technical terms?
It hasn't hampered my touch screen through various roms with various sensitivities and my glowing review hasn't even hit all the protection benefits it gives.
Best part? I got mine for about $10 'used' on ebay and while the silicone part was a little loose, a quick email to Otterbox got me a free placement in the mail without any hassle.
I haven't used one myself, but if they make one for the Atrix and if it's what you are really looking for, Zagg stuff has made some of my friends really happy.
You should look into a Matte one where is almost smudge free
altho it looks slightly foggy and scratch easily, but its worth it
make sure u get like a few togehter on ebay so you have backup ones

Can you suggest any brand? Something like the GreatShield Ultra Anti-Glare (Matte)?
I have one on mine, steinheil (SGP), while the protector gets scratched its better than the screen getting scratched.
Can't really tell the SGP ultra crystal protector is on the screen either, other than the few scratches that are on the protector now. Comes with 2 in a package if you get them.
They have an oleophobic one that is suppose to be oil resistant, maybe that one might be ideal? The ultra fine is their matted one.
If you look at the product on their webpage the 'Select a Color' changes the type of protector they have (took me a min to find the different versions they had when I looked again).
Last while the corning glass is tough, with a vickers hardness of 622kgf/mm2 in the unstrengthened and 701 in the strengthened stuff is pretty impressive.
Spec sheet for the glass can be found from corning's site using a google search, made me curious to check it.
While pretty hard something as simple and common as sand can scratch it which has a vickers hardness of about 1000....
Keys, lighters and the like are unlikely to scratch it though as unless its hardened tool steel its hardness will likely be below 650, an edge on a tungsten ring could probably do the trick though.
Anyhow I keep one on my phone, though maybe not really necessary I'd rather have a scratched screen protector than see the glass get scratched.

Zagg and Skinomi are quite nice. I like the Skinomi on my tablet maybe even a bit better than the Zagg on the Atrix, but the difference is very minimal. I'd say the Skinomi may slide slightly better than the Zagg, but you're splitting hairs.
I agree with BeakHill. SGP is great except they scratch easier than Zagg. The Ultra crystal is so clear that they don't even have a cut out for the front camera. The Ultra fine is their matte model and it is good and smooth, the crystal is nicer IMO..
The problem with SGP is they spoil you to the other brands, and they are more expensive.

Screen Protector Film Recommendations?

Hello,
Do you recommend Belkin Anti-Glare Screen protector for SGS2? (if you have used it) If not, which screen protector do you recommend? The most important thing for me: It nearly shouldn't have any affect on touch screen sensitivity.
Thanks.
You see im in the camp of whats the point of a screen protector, adding another layer to screen. I just use a cheap clam flip case to keep the screen safe. Only just had S2 but never had a screen protector on my sgs for over year and never got a mark on it

I'm using a basic silicon case. Flip cases are protecting well but having a flap hanging around while using the phone is a little bit annoying for me. I want to use it because, Gorilla Glass screen is just scratch resistant, not scratch-proof. There are many people reporting scratches after just daily use. Also Anti-Glare films making the screen easier to slide, especially in games like Fruit Ninja

OK, I will be glad if you let me know about it. It looks fine. But I couldn't find any local online shop selling Estoc protectors. So, i think I'm going to buy this one tomorrow:

I will write about it.
I have tried the SGP ultra oleophobic, and this worked well for 2 weeks, but after that it would start to attract oil, ... the opposite of what it was supposed to do, the plus side is that it doesn't have tint and the screen looks good. I am now going to try the Halo screen protector. Let us know how you screen protector turns out.
I really like the one that comes with the otterbox for the S2.
it's easy to put on and fits perfectly!
hope this helps
Definitely Zagg invisibleSHIELD.
I couldn't find them locally either. GMarket was the only place I could find them online, I split the cost of shipping with a few other people from XDA.

Received the 3M Estoc screen protector today. It's quite solid, and enables you to 'buff out' minor scratches & dings on the protector. This is due to a coating on the protector itself that obviously wears away over a period of time. It comes with a 49873 page encyclopedia with instructions on how to fit (due to having instructions in 192 different languages). The package contains the protector itself, a microfibre cleaning cloth, a cardboard thingy to smooth out the bubbles when you fit the protector and a few dust removal stickers.
Fitting was no more difficult or different to any other screen protector, just a case of making sure the screen is perfectly clean/free of dust, then slowly/carefully applying it to the screen & smoothing out the bubbles as you go.
This is a good protector if you're using a bumper case & don't have your screen covered, it will easily handle being in a pocket with other items & should protect the screen quite well. It will probably last at least a couple of months (maybe more, depending on how rough you are with your phone) if you use your phone like this. As I use a flip case, it will probably be good for much longer than this, as the face of the phone won't be exposed to the lining of pockets, keys, loose change, etc, etc.
Now to the question of value. Is it worth the ~$25 or so ? Compared to the $15 protector I had on my phone previously, and given I use a flip case which protects the screen anyways, probably not. I doubt I'll be spending another $25 on one of these when it comes time to get a new screen protector.
But if you're someone who uses bumper cases/etc & likes having a 'nudie' screen, I'd definitely recommend these. Obviously if you only order one from GMarket the shipping will make it a fairly expensive exercise, but you could always order more than one/some other stuff from that site, or find someone on XDA to go dutch on the postage who lives in your country like I did (thanks to Victaaaa for same )
The Zagg invisibleSHIELD is the best in my opinion, uses a fluid that facilitates the placement may be withdrawn and placed if things do not go well the first time, this has the orange peel effect but this in no way affects the image or touch . I used it in the first SGS for 1 year and now I'm using it in SGSll about 8 months.
i recommend sgp ultra crystal too...i am using for 5 months and i have no problem at all...fully satisfied.
Thanks for all recommendations. I couldn't have any time to buy one yet; but I hope I'm going to buy this weekend from a store near here. I'm going to buy Belkin, if I can't find it I will prefer SGP or Zagg.

I use SGP Ultra Crystal and so far so good.
Zagg is probably the worse of all of them because of its tacky-ness. Also its scratch healing properties wear off after a month or so. The best is the 3M Estoc+ followed by SGP or RG Japan.
sgp ultra, solid choice in my opinion.. can't go wrong
I recommend SGP ultra crystal film or 3M estoc

Looking for a dry application screen protector !!!

So I got this Diztronic Clear GlitterFlex TPU Case with a Phantom skin,but the problem is the case pulls the edge of the screen protector,so I get little bubbles on the upper side of the phone.
I would think a dry screen protector would be better because acts like a tape and would be harder to lift.
Any suggestion on a VERY GOOD dry application screen protector ?
Thanks
The Ultra Optics is pretty decent.

Inside any Incipio case there's a dry app screen protector. They are decent. Better than those "cut to fit" Chinese garbage you buy at accessory stores. Go into an ATT store and ask to try on a case, then just snag it. I work at an att store and we could give 2 ****s about those things, 9 chances out of 10 we would just give it to you. One caveat: the outer edges and the uppermost portion of dry app screen protectors don't seem to stay down due to the slight bevel in the glass. Just my thoughts.

These protectors don't cover the whole screen because of the beveled edges of the phone and it also has an anti glare coating which makes for a matte finish. Some say that it makes the screen grainy due to the coating but I am fine with it. However if it bothers you there is clear version:

The problem with most dry install screen guards is there isn't much room for error. If there are any motes of dust, micro-particles of dander, a single fiber of terry cloth, or even your goober-ed up fingerprint, will leave a bubble or nubbin on your screen that will drive you clinically insane.
I install dozens of screen protectors of all sorts, shapes, styles, and materials, and I believe I have perfected the dry install application of screen guards for any phone. I have created a video (bear with me, it happens to be my very first "How-To" flick...cuz we all been in a few home made pron flicks...don't deny it...we're all friends here) to help put one of these guys on your phone.
Because I work in the industry and I see the harmful effects that every day life, i.e. coins, keys, kids, animals, concrete, car doors, etc., have on cell phone screens, I HIGHLY recommend a screen protector, of any sort. Preferably one made with hybrid plastic, rubber, polymer, etc materials. They seem to provide the best over all protection. But really, anything is better than nothing. Trust me.
Here's the link to my video. Hit thanks if it helps!

Looking for the right kind of screen protector

Hey all, just updated my old AT&T Captivate (the original Galaxy S) to the new SIII. I used to use the AT&T branded crystal clear screen protectors, but they don't seem to have them for the SIII as far as I can tell. I'm trying to find a screen protector that will function the same way.
It needs to have a clear finish (no matte finish or privacy)
It needs to be the harder type of plastic, not the stretchy stuff like Invisishield.
It needs to not be a cheap knockoff that produces lots of bubbles (I've tried those on previous phones)
Anyone have any recommendations? If they are sold on Amazon that's a plus too, as I have a giftcard there!
There's a ton of good options.. sounds like you want a dry application.. lots of people like ones from spigen. They even make one that is curved for the edges of the screen.. mines in the mail
If I had to recommend one it would be from xoskins.. its a wet application.. but it doesn't come out real rubbery.. its extremely clear.. and I find wet application ones to come out better as its easy to squeegy it to perfection. Very little orange peel effect

Wet application needs to be applied using a liquid on the screen protector. Then once placed on the screen, the liquid is squeegeed out. You're then supposed to let it dry and set. A dry application I simply placed on the screen like a sticker without the need to be moistened in any way.
There are pros and cons for each depending on what you prefer.

Personally, I've always found SGP/spigen's Steinheil protectors to be one of the best.
Ultra Crystal: ~$14 (+tax/S&H)
This is a dry-application, hard coated, clear screen protector. Personally, I've found Steinheil reliable in the past and recommend this brand.

Curved Crystal: ~$16 (+tax/S&H)
If you've already looked at screen protectors for the S III, most of them don't cover the entire screen because the S III's front surface curves at the edges. This one is a dry-application, hard coated, clear screen protector that covers the entire screen by curving along the edges with the phone.

--The Curved Crystal is slightly less hard and will run you $2 more. Personally, I use the Curved Crystal and am pretty satisfied with the results. Be careful to not lift the edges of the film when/if applying a case. But once you get the case on, it shouldn't affect the edges of the film (but it depends case-to-case).
anyone found crystal clear screen protector?

You can try skinplayer, they have the best edge to edge coverage, even closer to the edge than SGP curve sp.

I think you need to wait, it's only been released recently.
