Screen protectors? - Sprint LG Optimus G

I'm not asking which one to get or anything like that. I'm curious if they are worth it? I know this phone has gorilla glass but I've always had screen protectors on my devices. So I'm a little weary about not having one.
I ask because I just got the diztronic case (had an otter box) and loving it and its size. But if it peels the screen protector I have I might not replace it.
So, are they worth it? If you don't have one, how's your screen looking?
Thanks.

Good question... Definitely interested in hearing what everyone has to say about this... I've had my phone with an otterbox and screen protector since I got it a month ago...

Hey how does the screen protector feel on? I'm sporting a cruzerlite and that's it, and all I have is a tiny almost invisible scratch at bottom

Xtremeguardz has a full skin for our phones on eBay. Buy it now is 3.99 with free shipping. You can bid on a separate listing by them and its 99ยข with 2.99 shipping. I've heard nothing but good things about their products. I just bought an otterbox (I'm currently rocking the diztronic) but the diztronic peeled my screen protector. I don't have one installed currently but so far my entire phone is pristine.
Honestly, I think they're worth it (if you get a good one) because although the cases are great (I've dropped mine with the diztronic on concrete atleast 4 times and still no damage) if we drop our phones and it just happens to land face down on a random rock, we're probably screwed.

Feels good. you cant tell because its nice & smooth like if you were to just have an open screen. only thing is at the bottom corners, the edges of the protector didnt cover full bottom. other then that its fine

Yo I just ordered an Otterbox ($6.75! Brand new) and I just wanted to know how it feels. Like, it's not too bulky is it? I know its an otterbox so I want protection but it doesn't completely turn the device into a brick like those generic two-piece cases does it?

I had the otter box since November. Its not that bulky. Not as bad as other otter box models. It does make the phone a little bigger but not unmanageable. I recently bought the diztronic because I wanted something a smaller.
I might go back to it depending on what others say about not having a screen protector. I have ghost armor now but this new case wants to peel it. I knew about that before buying as it fits really well. But if gorilla glass isn't what it is then I will go back to the otter box with a screen protector.

Here are a couple shots of the otter box and the diztronic next to each other. Sorry the phone isn't in any as I needed it to take the shots.
Back to the subject, what is everyone's thoughts about this screen without protection on it?

Really? Huh, do you feel it really helped prevent damage? I feel like I've beaten the hell out of my LGOG over the last few months when I take it to work- and I've managed to not even scratch it.

Oh whoops- No I haven''t used a screen protector at all since I got the phone in November- I've put the phone through about 8 months of wear and tear in laborer jobs and such and it has held up quite well. When I hold it up to the light there are no scratches- scuffs or other damage to speak of.

I can vouch for the xtremeguards. I've had mine for 5 months or so with no issues. Also have a cheap ebay case I've used since the first week I got it (January). Small dent on 1 corner from when I dropped it the first week... Other than that, its perfect. I've also used invisi-shield in the past and I prefer xtremeguards.

Nice, thanks for posting! I've been waiting for this one.
I knew there was a reason I didn't buy a case yet
What's funny is that they probably got sick of all the emails asking if they were making one for the Captivate so they posted the update just to shut us up!

im stuck with the body glove right now...
im ordering the commuter as soon as its available! it looks gooooooood.
Do these cases have a built in screen protector?
I'm pretty sure if its the same as other otterboxes the commuter comes with a separate screen protector, the defender has it built in to the case
Cool thx for the response. I really hate trying to get those screen protectors on. They never go on right so I guess I'll have to go with the defender. Thanks again!
beware though you may run into a crazy amount of air bubble issues if you use the defender with no screen protector or the wrong one. I tried the defender on my girlfriends iphone4 over an invisible shield and it was horrible. anyone have experience with this? finding the right combination?
dont use invissheld with otterbox

Well damn, that's why I hate screen protectors because i almost always get air bubbles. I guess the built in screen protector is not the solution.
just get one that is anti-fingerprint anti-glare and it will work just fine with the otterbox defender

Do not buy the ballistic maxx case!!!

Ok so i just bought the ballistic maxx case from the at&t store for $50. I walk out to my car to put it on and quickly find out the case is a piece of $h!t. I dont know where to start but ill try. 1st its nothin lime the ballistic HC case i owned for other phones and absolutely loved. All it is is a ballstic sg case with this redicilous removable screen protector. Itd a hard plastic piece that you put on the phone after you slide the rubber gel on the phone. The plastic is hard to put on. I can see eventually scratching the phone trying to do this snd when you do get it on its lose as hell. It sits off the phone so far theres a gap in between it and the screen. When you press it it clicks against phone. The lip on the case is so big you have to curl your thumb to hit home screen. And ballistic has the balls to charge $50 for that piece of crap. This is one of the worst cases i have ever seen. I immediately took it back and got my refund. If you need a rugged case wait for the defender. That case is junk. If you dropped it in water the water would poor right through the cheap screen protector. Also theres no protection for camera. I took a few pics before returning.

I checked it out at a AT&T as well and I have to agree...I thought it was garbage.
I dont understand what it is there trying to do. There HC cases were very good cases. Fit both my evos very good. Ballistics only downfall to me was customer service and they were normally late to the game. This case is just an embarassment to ballisctic. Very cheap not well cut and just dosent go well with the phone

I hate bulky cases on slim phones anyway.
I got the case and I don't see why you guys are giving it such a bad rap. I bought it for when I go over to the desert for the extra protection and it should work just fine. I actually liked the look and feel better than other otterbox cases. Personal preference I guess.
I have the normal Ballistic SG coming from amazon tuesday or wednesday so I'm hoping it winds up being a nice case. if not ill probably check out the trident ageis or casemate tough
Thats too bad, it looks pretty cool
The main thing is that whole removable screen protector. That wws just a dumb idea

I had the same issue! It would bubble up after installing the screen protector. The case is JUNK. That is a fact.
No disrespect meant at all....but I completely disagree with the OP. I have this case and have grown to really like it. OP mentioned the screen protector having a gap between it and screen....it does not if installed correctly. Instructions clearly state to place screen protecter on phone BEFORE applying gel case. There is a lip around the screen prot/gel case that locks it into place (which also greatly aids in keeping water out....not saying go drop it in the washer and walk away but you get what I mean). then the polycarb shell fits perfectly....it's all a tight fit and imo looks good. i added pics of mine installed in another thread(can't remember where at the moment). Anyway, I wrote this reply to let people know it's not a bad case....actually had an otterbox defender on my previous phone and it became stretched out and ugly as hell. this case won't do that bc of the outter poly carb shell and how the gel shell is locked on the screen protector. Just saying don't dismiss this case on one or two bad reviews. It's a great case if installed correctly. I even ordered the Ballistic SG in a different color combo to switch things up since i already have the screen protector and holster. I would NOT have ordered a second if it was crap!!

You also said in that thread that your not using the screen protector. I would imagine its bc of the lack of clarity or something else? Why pay $50 for a rugged case if you dont have the built in screen protector? They need to bring back the HC series. And when the defender is released youll see how making a 3 layer rugged case look smooth and fluid isnt that hard

You are correct. When I posted that I wasn't using the sp. I liked it then. Now I have it on and like other just the same. Its still very responsive and clear. NO gap between screen and sp at all. I have used an ob defender....smooth and fluid are not words I would use to describe it. I liked it bc I could bounce it off of cement with no ill effects but it was hello ugly imo. To r each his own I guess. Just wanted everyone to see how the sgmaxx preformed when installed correctly.

In your pictures it dose look like a nice fit. I tryd puttin the screen protector on before putting silicone on and after and it just was hidious. Also watchin the video review on youtube people really didnt have anything good to say. I just like the HC case and tje Defender because it gives you the feeling the phone is sealed tight and well protected. Ballstic sg maxx to me isnt really any different then a seidio rugged combo case. Layer after layer but no real screen protection

Bought a clone from ebay. $5. Hasn't arrived yet. I still think the Kraken will be the one to beat.
I have a commuter now and i really like this case. I normally hlget defenders but must admit after a while between the dirt that gets under the screen protector and stuff it gets annoying. I have the visor screen protector now and really like the slim case.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
The case isn't horrible but it is (at least for me) difficult to hit the buttons at the bottom of the screen. The removable protector is not a "bad" idea but if they had a better fitting screen protector I think it would be better for us users. Having the option to replace it is nice but you don't have the option to have the screen face out while in the holster. I saw that seidio has the surface case so I might return this case and buy that. I really wish they would make a waterproof otterbox case which might happen because FINALLY Samsung has a device that is the same shape for all the carriers!
Usually with the Otterbox cases I pop out the built in protector and put one on the screen directly. I had an iPhone 4 that got chips in the glass because of little particles getting in between the glass and the built in screen protector.

I have the same case and I like it. It was not too difficult to put on for me. As for the screen protector, I also have it off and like that it is not like the Otterbox. Why do that on a $50 case? Its the same reason I rip the display cover off the Otterbox Defender series. Because I don't like them. If I ever start scratching my display maybe I will install the removable display cover since it can go on and off. But I get these cases not for the screen protector but for those rare times I drop my device. And for that I am fine with it.

[Pic request] xo skins "case fit" screen protector

Does anyone have a xo skins "case fit" screen protector? If so would you mind posting a pic?
I bought the regular one for my s3 and have been very happy with it.. a couple tpu cases showed up yesterday tho and they peeled up some of the edges of my standard fit protector.. pissed..
Anyhoo.. I'd like to see it on our phones if its a substantial enough change to warrant forking over another 14 bucks for a case fit one.. only had this dang thing on for 2 weeks..

Sorry, no pics, but I had a case fit from xoskins on my GNex and it did make a difference with TPU cases.
I bought a few Cruzerlite cases off Amazon, and the case fit was a perfect match. Sat on the screen just barely away from the case.
I would send an email to their customer service (http://xoskins.com/contact-us) and let them know you made a "mistake", and are using a case now. I bet they'll send you a case fit for free as a replacement.
They've always been great to me!

I'm going to try 2 things:
1. I bought a Diztronics case from Amazon, and it came with a screen protector. There's a noticeable gap around the edge of the screen, but the quality of the case and protector are awesome.
2. I ordered protectors from bestskinsever.com. $8.99 for a full phone protector. I've used them in the past, and they are good for the price. If you check their site, they have recently upgraded their skins to match xoskins / Invisible Shield HD quality. I'm waiting for them to show up, so I'll update later.
I think XO will only need your email address you used when placing the order. That's all I've ever given them.
Shoot them an email with all the info you can remember... worst thing they'll say is no

The seidio obex ( life proof case ) not as good people make it out to be... my friend has had three of them. And had to replace his phone twice because of that seidio. Btw the seidio not good up to 6 ft. Only about 4 ft any deeper it starts leaking because of the pressure. Imo id take the otter box hands down all models to commuter defender armor case
Also have you checked ebay or amazon for cheaper prices ?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy s3
I think it's a reasonable price when you take into consideration that the Seidio''s Obex case is priced at $80. I'm sure Lifeproof will have theirs priced in the same ballpark. I'm really looking into buying a waterproof case. If Lifeproof doesn't at least post a picture of their case up soon I'll be buying Otterbox when it's released. Otterbox has proven itself time and time again and their customer service is second to none.
Seems fair, when the LifeProof first came out for the Iphone it was 90..if LifeProof keeps taking their time I'll go with the otterbox, have a defender and love it..

OtterBox make very good cases. Had one for every phone I had. This ones is expensive but I will trust them if to need so extreme protection.
$100 is alot but what bother me is the timing, They been teasing us for like a month now and they announce it yesterday thinking that it will go on-sale today for next week but no, we have to wait another 3 months. By that time we will be debating on should we get the Galaxy S4

Yeah but the defender doesn't cost $100. The other thing I can't wait to find out is if they used the same Defender-type screen on the armor. The defenders screen protector is IMO basically useless, I don't know how any of you can use it. I don't know if it's due to the type of screen the s3 uses but the defender for iphone is pretty nice, the screen protector doesn't degrade the screen quality much if at all. If any of you have never seen the s3 inside a defender, the screen protector makes nice little star bursts all over your entire screen, it's terrible!

Actually I hope they use the same material to make the screen protector as the defender, I bought the seidio waterproof and the screen protector was horrible, I couldn't even use swype , and in the defender, it might look bad but at least it doesn't affect the touch sensibility.

Just saw a YouTube video where an otterbox ces rep said it wouldn't be released until 30 after the iPhone case is released. So it looks like late March.

Its a rainbow effect. Its from the plastic of the screen protector getting too much grease marks on it. I popped mine out because of that. Sucks though too because the case gets loose without the protector in.
The only material that's equal in both preserving look and sensitivity of the touchscreen is plexiglass. Ivyskin case company in new jersey uses it with their iPhone cases. Plexiglass is easy to shatter though unless its thicker.

These cases go for a fraction of their MSRP on Amazon. You can find the Defender for $20 instead of $50.

The defenders problem isn't the oils from your fingers, without touching it the screen still looks awful. As for materials, have you ever used a lifeproof case? The screen still looks great and sensitivity isn't affected at all. I don't know what they make it out of but I'm pretty sure it isn't plexiglass.

Not to mention the defender is impossible to get in and out of your pocket.

I have defender - if you wipe your phone, and your galaxy's screen with a rag (that comes with sun glasses). And the you wipe protective screen from inside and outside (but really good, to eliminate all microscopic dust particles - it will stay like this. Sure you better not to throw your phone in dusty places - will be ok.
And it's protective screen, not just a plastic. If you need something for beauty - buy thin cases and be happy If you love running at the morning/mountain biking/ and other sport/action - you will be happy with that case. And it's look great.
But what really annoying for me it's a power button is hardly pressed when in case. I have to push the button a little harder.
And at all - i love my case, purchased at eBay i got it for 30$ with delivery in 1 week (from Hong Kong, straight from the factory )
Just check eBay for Galaxy S3 Armor Series, may be there will be cheaper deal. I know some waterproof case, that cost a lot more (can't remember the brand).
But who d f need waterproof case? Seriously. I can swim without phone, it's ok

Yes, its that kind. Although these seem to be at least decent to high quality judging by the posts in the original thread I linked to.
Ordered two screen protectors today and they have both shipped already.
EDIT : I have been having terrible problems getting cheaper screen protector edges to stick down
Thanks
John.

I ordered on the 18th and still isn't here(US).
Just fitted my protector, it feels rubbery and it drags your finger as you move it across the screen, i have only just fitted it, so i don't know if this will improve once it dry`s out but at the moment i think i will removing it.

Did you get the full-body or just the screen? I got the full-body, but only plan on putting on the back.... I absolutely hate that feeling on a touchscreen.
Quite a few on here have been using these for a few months....More user views.....
I only got the screen protector, i just took it off, it felt really horrible to move my finger around the screen, i have a strong flip case so hopefully my screen will be protected from scratches anyway.
You experience of the protector might be different to mine, give it a go.

Just ordered 2 full body for $4 with code. It made do 2 in the quantity in order to use the code.

I suppose you are less likely to drop your H1 with the back being more grippy, it`s maybe an advantage.
