Hi, guys, I am looking for a good screen protector for my SGH-i900 Omnia. My requirements are:
- doesn't dim the brightness of the screen (must have superb transperency)
- doesn't impede with the touch sensitivity
- when removed, it must not leave any residue on the screen
- must be non-corrosive to the screen
- must be bonded without any messy spray-type bonding sollutions
- should be anti-glare.
She screen protector should had been used/tested by you or your friends in order to be sure that the upper requirements are met.
This question has been asked over and over, but I'll be nice and throw a name out there in Steinheil.
I'd also recommend the Belkin ones, they have a matte finish to them, giving them a papery feel. I used one on my device (I actually just used one of my extra iPhone ones and cut it to fit) and loved it--as it made my finger scroll more smoothly with the finish. Just my 2 cents, not all protectors are built equally
I would recommend a ZAGG cover. I haven't used one on a touch screen device, but everything I have read says they work great on the iphone, so I will assume it's ok. I just ordered one for my new HTC Pure.
I have had ZAGG on my last 4 phones. They are custom fit, and you can get them to protect your entire phone, not just the screen. They are a little pricey, but trust me, they are worth it.
I have a samsung propel I use as my work cell phone, and the zagg protector on it is 2 years old! after 2 years, the screen is scratch free, and I have not replaces the ZAGG one time. I am an urban entomologist, and spend a lot of time under houses at work, this phone has lasted a long time.
go to zagg's website and look at their iphone scratch proof demo video.. You will see what I mean!
I will post further when I get my new cover in the mail and installed on my touch screen Pure.. Tell you how the touch screen acts with it on..
But I don't like ZAGG InvisibleShield, because when you are mounting it, you have to make your phone wet with some water-like substance.
I recommend you try to get rid of any possible air bubbles.
I just applied a screen protector to my HTC Ozone, and it has some air bubbles. Suffice it to say, it's pretty annoying.
You don't actually wet the device, just the screen cover before it goes on. Like I said earlier, I have had them on 4 other phones (now 5, my zagg came in.. YEA) and have never hurt my phone putting one on.
Follow the directions. Turn phone off, take out battery etc, before installing. It says to wait 24 hrs before turning the phone back on, I just wait about an hour then go on with using my phone.
When I got my pure, it came with a stick on screen protector. I have had the phone a month or so, and that protector was already worn out. I never tried the phones touch screen before installing the original screen protector, so don't know what sensitivity was like w/o, but with the zagg on, the screen is MUCH more responsive!
Anyways, my 2 cents...lol
I ordered those from eBay for around $15, they just arrived today. Tried to apply body protector first. Body protector is made out of 5 pieces and no matter how hard you would try to fit them, it's impossible to get them to stick nicely and not move. Started with the battery cover piece that's the largest and easiest to apply, it turned out to be just a little too big and when I put battery cover back on the of the phone, sides of the protector unglued and let the air under them which created bubbles. Tried side protector next, but that thing is impossible to fit. Gave up on the whole body protector and though to just apply screen protector and keep my gel case for now.
Screen protector is of the most horrible quality I've ever seen in my life! It's so grainy, it looks like my screen has a resolution of about 100x40 after application. More than that I'm not sure if it's because I used soaped water (as per instructions) or for some other reason, but parts of the screen-protector actually turned grey (against black background), some other parts are a bit clearer, but still, grain kills the whole thing. Ripped it off and will be waiting for some better screen-protectors to show up on the market.
Don't waist your money on those.
Great I just ordered one a few days ago.

My Zagg should be here tomorrow
I ordered a similar protector from clearfreak (they were the only ones selling a protector for the captivate when I ordered about 10 days ago), and it came in the other day. While the material itself seemed about on par with the zagg protectors (I've used Zagg before), the screen protector was a bit too big, so theres a bubble going across the top where the protector wraps around the top of the phone.
I see that zagg has protectors now, so I guess I'll get one of those. They seem to have changed up their offerings a bit, they offer full body "maximum coverage" and "easy install"; can anyone tell me how difficult the maximum coverage protector is to apply? I've done a zagg full body install on my zune hd, so I understand that these things are a bit tricky to get on just right, but I want to know if the full body is significantly harder than the easy install one with a bit less coverage.
How is the touch screen after you put on the screen protector? I have had a few that really seemed to mess with the touch screen. It seemed like it took twice as much pressure for it to react.
Is that the case with the captivate as well?

Capacitive touchscreens aren't pressure sensitive, so protector or not, how hard you press shouldn't make a difference. That being said, I have a Zagg invisibleshield on my zune hd, and it hasn't affected the touch sensitivity at all.
I've used BodyGuardz and Zagg before. The one piece of advice I have is, instead of using the soaped water they give you, use isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. It lets you slide the cover to the correct position very easily and will just evaporate out from under the cover, leaving no bubbles. I had a super clean install on my HTC Pure that way. To be safe I'd also remove the battery and make sure the phone has plenty of time to dry before you turn it on again. Also, if you enter ZAGG's weekly iPad giveaway thingy they have been giving out 40 and 50% off coupon codes.
I just got the AT&T screen protectors (pack of 3 for $10). I actiually got it for 5 (50% off through FAN account) and they are of good quality, clear and fit perfectly. There's even a cutout for the earpiece speaker and light and proximity sensors.
The two AT&T stores I went to did not have them but the AT&T smaller stores in the malls did.
I got the full body Invisible Gadget Guard, and mine looks fine. I didn't use soapy water, just plain old water, and everything fits perfectly, except for when I was dipping it in the bowl of water it snagged on the side of the bowl and when I made the mistake of trying to pull it off, it stretched, but I just cut it to fit and it's hardly noticeable.
Although, I won't lie. I did order the Zagg front screen protector for the fact that I know it works. I did the infamous "key test" on this cheap one, and it performed surprisingly well..
But it's not completely a rip-off if done right, especially for the $5 I paid.

you paid 5 bucks?
Let us know when you all get your Zagg Invisible Shield protectors in. I am trying to decide between Zagg and BodyGuardz. I haven't used either but I love the device entire too much to cover with a case.
With a 45 day money back guarantee, surely it cannot be that bad for the $24.
I bought the Invisible Gadget Guard off Ebay as well for $13.97 with a free car charger. I used just water to get it on. At first, it felt and looked awful but given 2 days, everything smoothed out and I was able to get all bubbles off. It's actually pretty nice now. I had to snip a little of the sides because I stretched it a little too long, but that's not a big deal.
I have a Zagg on my Zune HD, and initially I felt like it was a bit rubbery, but I left it on to see what happened, and after a week or so, it didn't feel rubbery anymore to me. You have to be really careful with the installation, make sure you dont get any dust/debris under the protector, but after that you can throw it in your pocket without any worries.
I got a phantomskinz for my captivate, since it ended up being similar in price to the Zagg but comes with 2 instead of one, and I'll post back here with impressions once it comes in.

I bought it and it was total crap. Waste of money!
Well I just finished installing this, and TBH it wasn't that bad... I've done many type of film installations on cars and stuff and it was very similar to doing it on the phone. I took my time with it and I am actually very satisfied with the result. It gives the phone a very needed grippy feel. Some pieces weren't the most perfect size to fit but it covered most of the area pretty well. I will got some pictures up later tonight. You really have to take your time with this installation or get a professional to do it, other wise you will end up like some people on here not very satisfied at all.

I've had it on for a week now and I've grown to like it quite a bit. Still considering getting a case since it won't protect it from drops.
I tried to use them, I really did. The first one was a zagg and it wasn't a very good experience. The screen was rubbery and got scratched up within 2 weeks. So I removed it and just left my seidio case on for a few months. No scratches at all. Now I just got an otterbox impact case and came w/ a nicer screen protector. I put it on, but the lint underneath the screen was driving me crazy. I tried cleaning it off and made it even worst! Is anyone else just rockin it with just a case? I'm done w/ screen protectors.
I used my phone for months without a screen protector until the OB Defender(waste) came out.
I do agree with you that the lint and dust is utterly frustrating. you almost need a clean-room with a surgeon to get the damn thing on right. I can't remember who suggested it, but they said if you take your phone into the bathroom after a good, hot shower, the moisture in the air will keep dust from floating around and you'll get a real clean protector.
i will tell you this, like i said, i rocked my phone for months without any protection. then one day i slid it into the same pocket as my car keys and received a nice long scratch along the length of the phone.
I use the otterbox one and I love it. You really can't tell that there is even a screen protector on the phone. You just gotta be very careful when you put it on. I have gotten really good at it, mine is perfect- not a bubble, spec of dust, scratch, etc...
Screen protectors can be a pain in the ass, but with just a LITTLE bit of time, they can be awesome. First off, i use and swear by steinheil screen protectors. They feel exactly like the glass on the phone and not one person including myself has been able to tell the difference between an evo with it on and no screen protector. Second off, its the method of application that makes or breaks screen protectors. The single best way to apply one is in the bathroom. Turn on the shower and let the bathroom get foggy. This drops all the dusk in the air so you have a nice clean environment to work in. also use a good/new lint free cloth to clean while in the bathroom. use a little patience to get it lined up and start on the bottom and slowly move up using the included tool or a credit card. smooth out any remaining tiny bubbles and your in heaven my friend.
Wish I posted here first before applying the screen protector. I'll just have to baby it for now.
If you are going to use one of the ones made with the military grade polymer, bodyguardz is one of the better ones. It doesn't have the orange peel feel to it and they have a dry apply version.
I use steinheil too. The shower method is a little excessive tho. Just get a couple pieces of tape and dab around the whole screen to remove as much lint as you can, apply the protector and if there is still lint under use a strip of tape to life the protector and another piece to remove the lint.

I hate the glass. I like the plasticy rubbery feel of zagg. My hand can slide and there's no smudges or prints on. Amaxing
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.
Just FYI, I found a screen protector that I swear buy. It feels like glass, like the original screen. I dont know how scratch resistant it is but after a few months I'm still scratch free. Also I put one on my wifes phone. They come in a three pack off Amazon for $7 and some change shipped. It's worth giving a shot.

That's pretty innovative! I'll remember the tape trick next time. Thanks
I like Zagg InvisibleShield on my EVO. I had to order a replacement since I messed mine up with attempting to put on the front of a DecalGirl skin (pain in the butt).
I know I would have a hard time doing it myself so I had Best Buy install the last one and probably do my replacement. Yeah, they charge $8 but both times on my EVO and on my father's new android upgrade were perfect. No air bubbles, no trapped dust, dirt, and grim under the screen protector.
Check my Signature for a great option for screen protectors. They used to only have one type, now you can get a whole lot of options. I love them! I used the shower method too, and it worked great for me. Still on my first one - 4 months and counting.

Are there scratches on ur screen protector? That's the other thing that drives me crazy.
I personally have to have a screen protector mainly due to my job . I work in the service department of a heavy equippment dealership . Besides being around dust and dirt and parts being ground down there is no telling what my fingers will pick up . I went with no protector at first and thats when I got my first two scratches . Had the invisible shield installed and scratches got covered up . Point of the story is , depending on your field of work and what you are exposing the phone to pretty much determines how well your screen is gonna remain scratch free . One thing that does irritate me to some extent . I had a Blackberry Storm that remained scratch free and never had a screen protector on it .

Going to give my vote to the Steinheil too. First off, I started out with a Zagg but could not stand the rubbery feel. In addition, I also use my EVO as a music player when I work out (I have an armband case that has a plastic cover on it) and every time I pulled the EVO out of the case after the workout, it would pull the Zagg cover off. PAIN IN THE *SS! I got so tired of it happening, the last time I just crumpled up the Zagg and tossed it in the trash. At that point, I was ready to go with a NAKED screen but had to remind myself that I was on my second EVO. The screen on my first got scratched 3 days after I brought it home (Don't even know how... with a 20-month old running around at home, could have been anything).
Now, going back to the Steinheil - I read reviews of it on Amazon and everyone raved. It was somewhat affordable so I thought, why not. After applying it, I have to say it's pretty awesome. Does it feel like glass? Not in my opinion - it feels "silky" but not SMOOTH like glass (does that make sense?) More importantly, it doesn't feel like rubber like the Zagg. And a fringe benefit, it does a great job of keeping off the fingerprints! And how about working out? I've used put in the armband case now 4X and it hasn't come off once. With the Zagg, I've had to reapply it 4 times!
So, my vote is for the Steinheil too... (BTW, they give you two in a case so you can try and find someone to split the costs with you if cost is an issue).
Boxwave screen protectors are the way to go. The crystal ones are awesome

I buy the cheap ones from China on ebay and they seem to work fine. I usually just buy them in bulk for like $10 and stash them. I replace them every couple of months once they get scratched. I swear by the shower method in the bathroom, always have a clean application.
I initially had a zagg screen protector but it was GARBAGE. I ripped it off after 2 days of having it. I ended up getting a privacy screen protector off eBay for $3.00 and have had it since. I do miss the crisp clarity of the Evo screen but it has proved useful and has worked much better than that zagg crap.
I got a Zagg as soon as I got my Evo. I had used them on other devices (G1, my brief stint with an iphone, my Moment). Some people don't like the orange peel effect, and say it feels tacky, but it doesn't bother me (I don't even notice the orange peel effect). I have had it since August of last year, since the Evo was so hard to come by for the longest time lol. I have no scratches, and no bubbles. No peeling of the sides, except one when I put my Seidio case on initially, but it smoothed back out. I had Best Buy install it for me this go around, and I couldn't be happier. I have had it like I said, since August, with heavy use, and it stays in my pocket. It still looks as good as the day I got it
I just thought I should share a valuable lesson: DON'T BUY CHEAP SCREEN PROTECTORS!
I have been fine in the past with cheap screen protectors from eBay. They got the job done, and they were only a dollar or two. And you got six of them.
Anticipating the arrival of my N5, I bought a Spigen Neo-Hybrid case (Which is excellent), and some cheap screen protectors for $2. (12 to be exact)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/231089059032?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I bought a bunch because that gives ample headroom if you mess up a few times.
I try to install the first one, and it ends up with bubbles near the cutouts for the speaker and camera. Okay, I'll just try another one.
I've gone through six of them, and they all have the same bubble problem near the cutouts.
I ended up buying higher-end screen protectors: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EV97UD6/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I'll be sure to report on those when they arrive.
But the lesson is to be cautious with cheap screen protectors.
The xtremeguard screen protectors are really good, and they can be found for under $2.

I guess I lucked out with my choice of screen protector!
Not necessarily. I bought these SAMAR crystal clear screen protectors, managed to apply one without getting any dust or air bubbles. It has all the cutouts, the fit is good, and it is quite smooth when swiping, very happy with it so far. To top it all off it is dirt cheap and you get 6 protectors all with cleaning cloths! I've read others on here who have been happy with this brand too. Would definitely recommend.
use a drop of water when u install. it'll help take out bubbles.
also you can reapply these, just rinse in soap water then water, then shake off excess and apply. squeegee out the water - should be next to nothing.

True. And even with that. I got one first and tested before I got backups.
I use an IQshield screen protector and it's nothing short of pure awesome. No bubbles at all, and it's so smooth and dried hard. It feels like glass.
You get what you pay for. I bought the spiegen Crystal for 10 bucks and they went on perfect and looked perfect and felt pretty good to you cant even tell its on unless you look at the earpiece closely. But there's always better! I just recently bought a Nillkin Glass screen protector with 9h hardness and olephobic with rounded edges and its gonna be getting here in a week or so and that should be way better than a cheap or high quality screen protector!
This sounds silly, but whenever I install a cheap screen protector, I do two things: first, i make sure the side that's going to be applied to the screen is FACE DOWN. Never face it up, under any circumstances. if I do, its before removing from packaging. I even remove the adhesive that protects the protector itself, with the screen protector face down. this doesn't give a chance for dust to sit on the bottom of the screen when facing up. Yes im sure any dust flying around will still find a way to stick, but this reduces the chances. Plus, you make sure you are applying in a clean environment anyway. I usually vaccum the house (or area at least) prior to applying, and give the dust time to settle afterwards.
second, and heres the silly part: I make sure the screen is completely wiped, and blow on the screen itself with DRY LIPS as im applying the screen protector face down. This blows off any dust that may settle between the time you apply the screen, and make sure lips are dry as to not blow moisture onto the screen.
There really isn't any fool proof method for applying screen protectors without dust, but without some sort of clean box with a built in HEPA filtration system, this seems to work well for me 80-90% of the time, versus just applying like normal.

You can skip all the surgical-precision vacuuming if you do the application in the bathroom. Turn on the shower, hot as it'll go. Leave it run for 5-10 minutes til the bathroom is steamy. That knocks all the dust out of the air.
Then you can apply your screen protector in peace.

but wouldn't that cause moisture in the air? I could see that getting in between the screen during application. I bought a ton of screen protectors like OP though, so I'll have to give this idea a shot lol
The moisture will get out over time. Its just like having windows tinted

It doesn't matter. Even dry-applied screen protectors go on better this way, and any moisture completely dries out quickly anyway.
Spend a few hundred dollars on a phone and then buy the cheapest cases and screen protectors you can? Doesn't make sense.
I'll pay the extra $8 for a Spigen screen protector and a quality case that match the quality of my Nexus.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Spigen could've tried a bit harder and made all the cutouts. Even the temporary screen protector that comes with the phone has those. I think most screen protectors will be similar at the $1+ range but you can't expect much from ones that cost $0.25.
xtremeguards didn't have bubbles for me. Buying 6 of the same screen protectors and then saying all of them have problems doesn't make sense.
I'm assuming the OP means the bubbles are from the edge of the cutouts not sticking down which is a common issue with cheap screen protectors.
the cutouts are not made well so the screen protector itself is warped at the cutouts for the speakers etc so its not flat and does not stick down creating bubbles there.
Just install in steamy bathroom. The steam prevents dust from floating in the air.

I got this Nillkin one: http://dx.com/p/277084. I only had one. Applied by using the "hinge" method. Went perfectly. Cutouts are perfect and bubbles are removed very easy (easier than other screen protectors I've had).
I used a little wet cloth to make my screen wet and to remove dust. At first it feels very rubbery, but after using it for a day or even less, it feels just like the glass!
I just got a zagg glass screen protector put on at Verizon today. I like it. It's got adhesive only around the edges so I think it leaves a bit of air under the glass? But I haven't had any touch issues. It works really well.
I had a Spigen neoflex one before that cost about 4 bucks per protector on Amazon ( orange peel wet app) and they were only ok for that type of screen protector.
One thing to note is, I'm not sure if the Verizon rep that put it on the phone for me cleaned the screen well enough because there seems to be a small grease bubble right on the keyboard. It doesn't bother me much because it didn't affect anything yet, but might get in the way while watching videos.
Oh this thing was 37.50 after my discount. But if it breaks zagg replaces it for as long as I own this phone. So that's good.
Nice, ZAGG warranty is top notch.
I got mine today also. My nerves kicked in as I purchased it because what I read about curve screen tempered glass protectors. I like it so far and no case problems. Feels alittle loose or sense of some gap from glass to phone but you get used to it. So far nice!
It collects dust around the edges and it definitely has one piece of dust under it which I'm hesitant to use the adhesive dust stickers to remove because it's curve glass
But, nothing that isn't normal for pretty much all screen protectors. Worth the protection, and warranty
I purchased this also a week ago when I got my 8+. I was worried about it after all the ones I tried on my S7 that failed. However this one is nice, been on a week with no issues of lifting off. Works well with the Tech 21 case I got also.
Guy at my local spark store just put one on for me. No problems with touch sensitivity so far. We shall see how it holds up over time.
Any updates on this screen protector?

Bottom corner started lifting after a day. Now I have a bunch of dust and some hair trapped under there. Glue is too weak. Don't waste your money.
Yea the glue is kind of weak and it's prone to dust buildup....
However because of this I found it's easily removable by sliding your fingernail under one long end and then just lift it. I kept the easy applicator and so I can (carefully) clean it under soapy water and dry it.
Don't bother to dry with any type of paper towel though as the lint will stick to the adhesive.
Probably going to reach out to zagg about a warranty or some kind of solution so I don't have to keep removing and cleaning it. But overall better than other screen protectors so far
Also another detail, this protector has no problem with the spigen neo hybrid
Well I got the Zagg screen protector also on the day I got my S8+. I have had the phone almost 3 weeks now. I had the phone less than a week before I had issues with the screen protector. I use Samsung's fast wireless charging stand to charge my phone overnight while I am asleep. I woke up and found that the screen protector completely came off of my phone overnight. I know that Zagg has an excellent warranty etc but what should I do? What I'm trying to avoid is a long line of replacements at $5 shipping per replacement for the same thing to keep going on. I watched the rep in the store thoroughly clean my phone and did an excellent job of applying it for it to have been anything that he did wrong. Any suggestions??? Is this an ongoing issue?

Just a little update on this, I have had to take the Glass Curve Protector off 3 times so far to get dust out from between it and the phone screen and due to that I have a replacement coming. It does come off and go back on nicely, still sticks good but has dust particles again. Also the glue around the edges is looking awful dusty and ugly. I am getting the Zagg Sapphire Defense Curve as the replacement and going to give it a try.
Yes update . Ok sorta bad news . About two weeks ( had it on for a month ) I dropped my phone and screen protector popped off. No damage but did get little dirty . Pushed it back on .Stayed on pretty good ... Until last night . Dropped my phone on the ground again in the dark,no damage again . Woke up,at work and realized my screen protector was gone. Who knows where it is right now (on the floor by my bed ) but I'm buying a different protector after work . Not tempared !
