Hello. I have a galaxy nexus for almost a year and i would like to change my screen protector. I now have an extremeguard protector i am really satisfied but i get an orange peel effect.I have taken some photos with my camera to show the orange peel effect. So I am searching for an edge to edge screen protector which costs less than 15$, without the orange peel effect . Thanks in advance

I've had the "Skinomi TechSkin Carbon Fiber Skin Protector" on my phone for about a year. I haven't noticed any orange peel effect personally. Skinomi also sells just a screen protector, but I can't be sure if it is the same one that came with the carbon fiber skin protector.
Skinomi was too expensive for me because of shipping cost. After some searching I took a chance and bought w w w.ebay.com/itm/321029266792 these.They came today and I installed it very fast. I am happier than ever. It is edge to edge, without any orange peel effect. It is too difficult to say if there is any screen protector at all.I recommend them all the way. Best quality at a very good price.

i'm using it too , it is perfect :good:
Where they dry apply? Only the Wet Apply have orange peel and feel tacky.
I've tried using the Wet Apply several times and just can't stand them. The only time a Wet Apply is needed is if the glass is curved or tapered at the end. I originally bought one for the Galaxy Nexus only to discover that I've been torturing myself. I picked up a dry apply and couldn't be happier.
I have the XO Skins edge to edge protector for the nexus and it works great, crystal clear.
theydle services
I recomend this one:
Search on Ebay for "New 3x CLEAR Screen Protector Guard Cover Film Samsung Google Galaxy Nexus i9250" the vendor name is "rockymobile"
Very cheap (about 2€) but no reflects, no texture, no orange peel, for sure the best screen protector i buy for years.

I'm getting the phone soon, and I want an anti-glare one. I looked on ebay and can't find any.
*edit* I realized I didn't even ask anything. Can anyone point me to a website where I can buy an anti-glare screen protector?
Boxwave, AT&T, and Skinomi all have anti-glare screen protectors. I'm sure there are more but those are the ones I know off the top of my head.
SGP's Steinheil Ultra Fine Film (available directly from the SGP Store site) is another option.

I live in Canada, so the AT&T one is not an option, I tried skinomi, but I didn't see an anti-glare one, can you link me to one directly?
I'll try boxwave now.

I'll probably purchase from their ebay store.

haha, it's ok, I live in Canada, the closest ATT to me is one in Seattle (if there is one there), and that's two hours away.
I'm not gonna get one from ATT. However, I need to know if those ones from Amazon I posted will do.
I didn't know they had one yet. Good deal, supposed to be the best.

I HATE the anti-glare screen protector but it was the only thing available at the time. Instead, I purchase a regular one on eBay as well as the Incipio Feather case that comes with one. IF these those fix the feel/look, I'll just have to go naked (screen )
Hi Ivan go to T-Mobile and buy the protector for Samsung vibrant and it fits very nice upside down plus its antiglare I have on my atrix
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Gorilla glass..
I 'm waiting also my atrix..
and i ordered from ebay screen protectors..
they said its anti-glare, but i dont think so.. because its very cheap..
anw.. do we really need screen protector?
it makes less-sensitive the screen..
it hasnt got good antiglare action..
it may not be exactly at the size of the screen
the screen is gorilla glass.. it is necessary to have extra protection?
is gorilla glass really un-scratchable?
from keys the gorilla glass it doesnt make any scratches..
but with something stronger?
e.g phone falls..
if the screen brakes, the screen protector wont prevent it from breaking..
if anyone has atrix or any gorilla-glass phone without screen protector
and believes it's not necessary,
please just inform us!
Do not buy wrapsol screen protector. They are extremely hard to put on and it dims the screen quite bad. Its the one with anti fingerprints. Also, the installation is a pain. There is no room for error. Any dust or lint trapped between the glass and the protector can not be removed with tape. It will beforever there. Im just thinking of removing it since my protector has full of unremovable dirt..

I found it not too bad to apply. Make sure you're in a dust free environment (close the door in the bathroom and turn on the shower - hot - for a few minutes to steam things up).
I've messed up quite badly on an installation (got some lint stuck between the screen and protector) and was able to rectify the problem by washing the protector with soap and water and then reapplying it. Worked great!
there is what your looking for. these are the ones that have the Matte finish to them. i had these on my HD2 but now i bought the Invisible ones for my Atrix.
splash Masque Screen Protector Film Matte Clear (Anti-Glare) for Motorola Atrix 4G (3-Pack)
The best I've found is from www.nushield.com. I've used their screen products for years now on touch gps screens, Tilt2 and camera screens. Their DayVue film is great.

And with Atrix Screen you dont really need antiglare
I bought the ones from att. I have had protectors on all my phones, out of necessity after scratching a new phone. I don't care for the att ones. They do ok for glare, but are horrible for the clarity of the screen. I am going to take it off. I went for about 2 weeks before I installed it. I really don't want to use one, but I live in Florida and the glass just reflects the sunlight soo well, which in turn really brings out the finger smudges. So I'll get another brand.
I have read some ad for the ultra protectors, some brands are INVISIBLE SHIELD, BODYGUARDZ, SGP PROTECTOR etc
Since i am LG P970 and it is not using the Gorilla Glass. I want a screen protector/ full phone coverage can protect from keys scratches, coin scratches in my bag.
what are the different? I know they all provided lifetime warranty replacement service. But Can I have more brands for comparison and have your comments on these protectors (how hard/strength are they)?
Thanks~~
i have looked the two web and do think that the info are great.As a matter of fact ,i bought two pieces.
I bought a Martin Fields screen protector for my HTC Mozart and am loving it.
Took a while to apply as I wanted it to be perfect and have no bubbles / dust particles under it. It now looks great (like there is no screen protector on).
Also as far as I can tell, it uses static to stick and no glue so you can remove it, put it back. If you need to get your phone swapped out, take it off and put it on the new phone etc.
It was half the price of the invisible shields (well, the prices here in South Africa at least).
i use the invisi-shield. and must say its very resistant to anything i have in my pockets with the phone.
I currently have a Skinomi and I notice it seems to be thinner/more malleable than others I've seen, so I do think there are at least subtle differences between most the brands. Sometimes differences can be major, as I hear about the Zagg and its intentional texture. I saw GhostArmor in the mall last week and although its cut didn't seem nearly as good as Skinomi's, I'm still going to give it a shot because it seemed to have very good transparency.

What I think is really funny is that everyone is buying this same stuff that 3M makes for protecting cars paint as well as head lights and it would probably be cheaper for one to get this stuff here rather than pay the amount for specially cut out clear film.
http://www.clearmask.com/lightgard.php
+1 INVISIBLE SHIELD It's a durable shield.
im just using the normal 1...haha...it very good also...
nice product i love it
What does everyone here think about Seidio? I'll probably be getting a G-Nexus and want to put something on it right out of the box.
I use a xoskin screen protector. They come with a install kit, spray, squeegee, and instructions. They are smooth and dont have orange peel like others and they dont turn yellow and peel off.
I use it to and good..
+1 to invisible sheild here.. once you get used to the texture it's a very good protector.
what do you think about defy
invisible Shield is great! I have it some time now, and the phone looks just like new
Please pleaase try a steinheil ultra crystal first!
I tried a couple cheapies $3 or so with bad results. They wore down in a couple weeks and didn't look clear.
The sgp or steinheil ultra crystal truly makes the screen look like glass with no protector on! And I am three weeks not a dent or scratch. They are around $14 shipped and well worth it (2 pack)
I have it on my samsung galaxy s2 Epic™ 4g touch and I might prefer the cover to the raw glass

Hy guys, i'm going to buy a Galaxy Nexus and I wanna buy a screen protector before getting the phone.
I have a ZAGG one on my iPod Touch 4g, but I don't like it, so I decided to ask here.
I had the opportunity to try a Brando one on a friend's iPhone 4, and it's very nice, but I can't find a Galaxy Nexus' one... So which i should choose? I also can't understand yet differences between the one using wet application and the others...
PS: i already found some questions on various screen protectors, but didn't find a "which shouldi i choose" one in this section...
PPS: Sorry if i made some mistakes, my English is only a scholastic one...
Brando have screen protectors available for for the Galaxy Nexus (not sure if they do international shipping):

I've heard the SGP Flex screen protector is very good, I'll most likely be ordering one myself. (http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/...s-screen-protector-steinheil-flex-series.html)
i have the zagg. Its actually not as orange peely like the zagg on my old galaxy s. I wish power support made their screen protectors for something other than by apple because theirs are excellent.

Oh, didn't know Brando already have in stock Galaxy Nexus' screen protectors! Thank you very much, probabilly i will buy it. But tell me please, which are the differences between screen protectors with wet application and the others?

Do you know if the Brando is a dry install? If so, it probably won't cover all of the screen like he Oleophobic from SGP. I just bought the Flex and it will be here Wednesday so I can let you know how that feel/orange peel is.
The Zagg on my iPod is crap looking at the Brando on my friend's iPhone. Yeah, it has less bubbles, but his doesn't make the user feel he is using a screen protector!
Not meant to hi-jack this thread but I came across this
http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/...-nexus-screen-protector-steinheil-series.html
The description says that the screen protector has an oleophobic coating. I was wondering if the film is clear or matte? I don't like matte screen protectors.
I'm interested in that screen protector too... I'm undecided between this one and the Brando's one

It's clear, but I feel like it causes a little bit more friction than the bare screen. As mentioned in another review on here, it's significantly smaller than the entire screen area to avoid peeling at the curved edges, so that may be something that affects your decision to purchase.
How is the fitting of the Brando screen protector? Can someone upload a picture of it on the Galaxy Nexus?
Thanks.
I never realized screen protectors were such a big deal. lol
The one I am using now is the Anti-Glare screen protector that I got from Verizon. It was a bundle with 3 protectors, a car charger, and clip holster.
Didn't realize everyone used one... My GNex stays naked!
Stay away from the ones Verizon sells. They aren't completely terrible, but those things smudge so badly. It's pretty annoying, but I can't complain because they are protecting the screen for the most part.

I've tried just about every screen protector out there and I have come to realize the VZW protectors are the best for me. Yes, they do show smudges a bit more, but they don't yellow, they don't require the wet application, they don't have a weird feeling to them, and they are the cheapest. Also, I had one on my Incredible for 6 months without a mark on it.
Just my opinion after trying tons of brands.
Ghost armor..Hands Down

@OP: So which Screen Protector did you end up with? Cany ou give us some feedback about it?
Verizon clear (not anti-glare) works great. No orange peel. there is a 1-2mm gap from the bezel but the sensor cutouts align perfectly
Currently using VZW clear + Incipio NGP.
I went with ghost armor, cost me $15 covers top to bottom and edge to edge. Rep installed it perfectly. No orange peel yet but I do expect some. The good news is that it comes with a life time warranty. If it does begin to show signs of orange peel, they will replace it for a $5 install fee.

Hello,
I am looking to purchase a new Samsung Galaxy S8+ screen protector. I was planning on getting this case but I had wanted a screen protector as well to protect such a device. Any suggestions? I've looked online and heard to find a good one is rare due to the fact of the curved edges as well as it being an expensive phone. Any help would be appreciated.
Side-Note: Any suggestions for another case would be nice as well, I like the one linked above but something with a slim factor would be nice too!

Idk I've gone through 3 screen protectors with the same case listed above for some reason the case grabs the side of the screen protectors and it bubbles up I tried two expensive tempered glass screen protectors and each one with that same case popped off my phone so irritated right now I'm using just my bro hybird case with no screen protection

It is worth it. I screwed up the install and they sent me a new tube of glue and screen protector for free.
I finally just gave up on finding a tempered glass protector I opted for a liquid glass nano screen protector applied two coats and slapped my case on no scratches nothing and I always end up throwing my phone in my pocket with my keys highly satisfied also barely any smudges it's legit for those have any trouble I recommend liquid glass Qdamix liquid glass to be exact
Fyi don't be the idiot who still doesn't have a military grade case on it.. if you drop the phone without a case the screen will crack period with a tempered glass or not so don't be an idiot and think this is gonna make the phone bullet proof nah it just prevents scratches nothing else!

Be careful, that liquid screen protector stuff is mostly snake oil. I've been caught out with it before and ended up with scratches just with the phone being in my pocket.
Screen Protectors for Samsung S8 Plus
Ounier Galaxy S8 Plus Tempered Glass Screen Protector, [Case Friendly][Easy Installation Tray] 3D Curved Tempered Glass Screen Protector (Black)

We have developed a Dot Matrix glass screen for Galaxy S8 Plus, which offers full screen protection without any bubbles or halo effects. This is accomplished with state of the art technology by placing hundreds of microscopic transparent dots on the screen protector to mimic the contact of your finger on the screen.

Would installing this Screen Protector on a screen with a little scratch FUBAR the installation?
Force Glass is no good
Hi,
I have this glass protection supposedly life guaranteed but it left bubbles on my screen even with the set up device included.
i buy the glass protectors that show a hammer hitting the screeen and then for an added measure when i put my phone in my pocket i turn the screen towards my leg
I usually got Spigen cases for my phones and Whitestone Dome glass, but since this is a flat screen, there will be no Whitestone this time.
I mean, I don't miss it too much because it's really, really expensive. But I do need a good alternative now with this phone.
What screen protector did you guys buy, and which of them worked great? I want to have FULL coverage with good adhesion.
Casewise, well, just post whatever works great.
Ps.: Glass wise I found Nillkin has a few on their website, but I have my doubts.
I got the Nillkin case and glass, quality-wise quite good

Thank you, placing my order. I hate how the stock case wont even protect the camera 'hump' lmao. Got some time though, have a week until unlock is done.
I ordered a Nillkin Amazing H+PRO. Have that one on my Mi Mix 2S so went with it again.
I don't plan to buy any case since I actually like the one that comes with the phone.
Seems to me that the Xiaomi cover is slightly higher than the camera so when you have it on the table the camera is not touching the table so perhaps it does protect the camera a little bit but I am not sure.
I regret buying a screen protector, should have just let the pre applied factory film be on the phone. When I installed the screen protector there was a white dot inside a air bubble which was annoying so I removed the protector and removed that white dot but then when I put the protector back on there was more bubbles and a black dot appeared in the middle of the screen so I ended up buying a new tempered glass protector but from a different brand. So disappointed because when I applied it to my Mi Mix 2S it was perfect, no bubbles or anything.
