Anyone else try the Zagg dry INVISIBLEshield T-Mobile is selling yet? It works amazing, plus the dry shield feels a lot more like glass under your fingers
lifetime warranty at all the Zagg shops and kiosks plus they'll switch it out with a wet one for free.
I bought the dry one from TMO because all the wet ones at Zagg store are on back order and won't be here for two Weeks, and that's definitely too long with such a beautiful screen.

You can always pick one up from a TMO store or TMO online http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/AddOns...-423f-8204-aed13bf5ab32&inCart=True&catCode=0

How difficult is it to put on the phone? I suck at putting on screen protectors (always have bubbles or dust).

Same here. I'm always afraid the liquid will destroy whatever it is i'm putting it on.

It wasn't too hard, my screen looks flawless. Cleaned it very well before even attempting to put it on.
Plus a Zagg kiosk will switch it out for five bucks if you mess up, or install it for 10 if you don't think you're up to it.

First thing I bought for mine. I was hesitant because I did not want anything to retract from my Super AMOLED screen experience ) but am overall definitely happy!! Was $15 or $20 at the InvisibleShield kiosk at my local mall; installed on my phone professionally with a life-time warranty included! Adds a great feel to the phone's screen under my fingers now too! Definitely something I would recommend to everyone with this phone!

Hmm...I might have to find a kiosk somewhere and have them install it. That way it's on them if they mess it up. Do you have any pics of it on your phone?

Its really hard to put them on. I had the same problem with the kiosks here in Minnesota, they were on back order. I went to T Mobile and they had the dry shields. The girl was cool enough to put it on for me. She messed up on the first one and opened another to try. She then messed up again but told me sorry and gave me another free pack. So then I finally brought the shields to the kiosk and had the guy do it for free. Even though it is a dry shield, he still sprayed it down and applied it. Works great! They are really tough to get the bubbles out on the screen side. Good luck....

yeah i suck at putting these on

I've had these on all of my devices so far. The vibrant I'm replying from has ghost armor and so far no complaints. Overtime it will naturally bubble, but so far after a year I have no bubbles on this device. I'd check out Ghost Armor as well since the quality is about the same.
Highly recommend a professional installation as well...

Def worth a try. You can always take it off if you don't like it! Like I said in my earlier post, I was the same as you; wanting nothing to interfere with my visual experience between my eyes and the S-AMOLED screen, and a lot of people agreed with me. This was even the reason for not using one on my G2x and Sensation... however, after vivid use with the G2x and no screen protection (And Gorilla Glass or not...), it has gotten an almost "natural-looking" haze to it that can not even be cleaned off... so I definitely thought much harder about it for the GS II and the guy at the kiosk agreed with me; no question. Now the phone feels much more "tactile" and the screen control much more pronounced and acurate. Cleaning it is a breeze too. Only thing I suggest is to go with a brand that is well-proven. The last thing you want is to buy a shield and have it leave a sticky residue when removed, yellow and/or fade over time or both! This is exactly why I went with Zagg/InvisibleShield (And haven't looked back!!)! Plus, the life-time warranty doesn't hurt either (And the "life-time" warranty lasts onky as long as the company; so pick a reputable one!).

I have used protectors from Bestskinsever.com for about the past year. The quality seems to be on par with Zagg and the price is typically 50% less. On several occasions I have contacted the company regarding installation issues and they have sent me a new skin, at their expense, no questions asked. They don't seem to have the skin yet for TMOs SGII, however, if you email the company they will give you an estimate of when it will be in.
Just my .02¢ - hope it helps.

Just picked one up from T-Mobile store along with the D3O case. The back was easy to apply, the front was a little harder since I messed up. They did a great job on how to apply the protection and I think it's one of the best so far. I will let the screen sit in for a day or so and come back to review the product with pictures

Zagg makes you send the old one back or they claim to charge you retail for the replacement. They ask for billing info.
One tip I'd like to give to everyone... Try to apply screen protectors when you buy the phone. Once you take it out of the box... the screen is pristine since it has a plastic film on it... hit it with air duster, then apply. I used to do it for all my customers and that's the easiest way to do it. Bubbles only show when there is dust. When done properly, I've never seen a bubble form.

I have the dry invisible shield on mine. Its friggin amazing. Not too hard to put on either. My buddy who works at the tmo store did it for me but I watched him do it and it was very simple. Small bubbles go away after 1-2 days. I prefer it over a case for sure, because I'd rather not add anymore size to the phone.

If anyone is worried about messing up, dont be. I had mine put on by a chick at the tmobile store when I purchased the phone. Great job on the back, pretty bad job on the front. Tons of bubbles. However, by day 4 all the bubbles ( 12 or so ) were gone, and even the part where she bent the protector prior had evened out. I love it ! Plus you have time to return it !

ohhh you beat me to it...lol i got the same email and was about to post it up here!!!
but doesnt matter!

I have to say I didn't like the protector I bought for my droid charge (it was horribly miscut) but the fact that they refunded my money before I even sent them back like they told me to was nice. I will now keep it around and at least try it on my S3.

You must've just been unlucky to be honest, my S3 ones fitted perfectly. Although I kinda wish they gave you the sides as well, they are still prone to scratches as well as the screen and back cover of the device!

Other than the black specks, which you must wash off thoroughly if you get any in your order, I can say so far mine has held up and working as well as my Skinomi did..

Seems like they are using a thinner material. I have already replaced 2 of these screen protectors because they keep lifting up. I have tried 3 different tpu cases and they all push up this screen protector.

I agree! Just do not buy it... I bought one and I regretted

I bought these via the last thread about them a few weeks back. The cut out for the camera etc has to be the worst I have ever seen on a protector, It's not inline with anything and to steal a phrase someone else used in the thread as it explains perfectly looks lIke they where cut out by a blind sIx year old chIld. After a while the back plate protector developed a yellow tinge and looks horrible. The rest I've thrown in the bin. These are cheap in every sense of the word but also expensive for what they are even with a 80% discount. Their basically disposable protectors that will need changing regularily say every week or so if you want to keep your phone looking nice.

Not sure what you guys received, but here is a picture of my phone with the screen protector installed. It is working just as my invisishield, skinomi and shieldguard protectors have.

It's a trade off for multi layered self healing that can take the energy off a screen hit.
If there a difference in distortion or clarity when the screen is on? For what mine does, I am satisfied.

I just gave it a try for about a month and thought it also looked good until I decided to give other protectors a try to compare and the moment I took it off the screen just looked way way better. Then I slapped on a dry screen protector that is virtually invisible. Have it side by side by my friends sgs3 attention and sgs3 tmobile with same images, can't even see it or tell.

I've used many dry protectors, everyone of them has had the same result, sure they look great and clear, but they always start gather soot at the edges and start to peel. Once that event beings it doesn't end there..

Expired July 9th 2012, someone please post a new one quick

finally i got my order yesterday... never been so happy.. this is actually my second order, but now its for ipad, iphone and my s2..

Bought these when they had the 80% off and they are horrible. I put them on 2 phones and promptly took them off and gave away the remaining 3. Kudos to those that like them, but to me they were cloudy and I was clearly able to tell there was a screen protector on.

Dropped my S3 ...

well the day I've never wanted to happen but it came ... drop my phone thinking it was in my pocket , very weak phone I say the S2 handle these dropped way better but oh well ...

Why no bumper? I dropped mine just twenty hours after purchase on my way to get a bumper and cracked the screen. The screen doesn't have sufficient protection from the bezel. I don't even think the bezel is metal.

Ah, that sucks man!
Mine is still holding up fine. I'm considering buying like some sort of liquid glass and applying it over mine, since it's so small, perhaps filling it in and hiding it. I really can't see mine at all unless I'm looking so I'm trying to avoid making a drastic decision.

no case just like that and 177.56 to get a new one off Samsung.

I feel bad for all of you who've broken your phone, but at the same time some of you are the same one's who give me crap about putting an otterbox defender on mine and ruining the looks. I've dropped mine twice now, once getting out of my truck (approx. 4 ft) and the other at waist level. Both times zero damage, my case is a little scuffed but that's it. It's worth it to me to "ruin" the looks and not break my phone, even with a warranty you still have to pay money and wait for the new one.

Lol, last week my dumbass somehow slapped my phone out of my hand while transitioning from sitting to standing. And this happened twice within 3 days lol. Luckily I had my powerskin on.

Yep, I hope Samsung doesn't do this again. The original and the S2 both had good screen protection from the bezel on the edge where it really counts.

The S3 isn't very forgiving when it's dropped in any way other than flat on its back. Mine feel from my bed down to the floor hitting a dumbbell making contact to the bezel, leaving a dime sized dent. However, it managed to survive a swim in the lake this past summer!

Mine fell two feet onto carpet, landed on its back, about a week ago and my heart stopped! A couple days ago it got flung off my bed and hit the corner of a plastic stool with its screen but was fine. That picture is going to make me even more paranoid. It looks like its JUST the front glass though. I'm starting to consider ordering a just-in-case replacement glass...

New XtremeGuard HD Screen Protector

Today XtremeGuard released a new "HD" screen protector model, now with dry application instead the old wet application
It's a clear model (invisible), ultra anti-scratch, etc. The FAQ says it's not a tempered glass protector, but a "ultra hard PET very similar to glass".
https://www.xtremeguard.com/Articles.asp?ID=261
Someone already tried it? It's a good protector?
It's already avaible to nexus 5 here, just U$6,00 + 90% off if buy 2 or more items using coupon "90off" (+ free shipping to USA)

Awesome, thanks for the heads up! :good:
Just placed my order.. $1.20 shipped for 2 great protectors?? It's crazy not to get.
I have the 'old style' of XtremeGuard on my phone right now, and even though its protecting my device REALLY well, I'm starting not to like the thick 'rubbery feel.' I also have a small scratch on the protector that I accidentally made when rubbing out bubbles when I first got it, and my OCD hates it! lmao.. So i didnt want to buy another one, and i didnt wanna spend $15-$40 on a freakin' protector, so im stoked about this!
Thanks again

I have had nothing but a great experience with the regular xtremeguard shield, had it on my Nexus 4 too. One thing I did was to use some car wax on it, make it considerably smoother and easier to clean. Just placed an order on the new HD one.

Ordered a red 16gb N5 yesterday, and just saw this thread. Thanks OP. I got a back protector, new HD front protector and install kit for $1.70 shipped. Nice!

Did anyone get their's? Wonder how thick it is, how it feels vs bare glass, and the clarity.
Boo for $6 shipping to get them to Canada.

I got mine already :3

My guess is that these are just the normal plastic screen protectors that were popular before the wet application ones came out. No different than the ones you can buy at T-Mobile or Verizon stores. I use the regular XtremeGuard screen protectors for every device of mine and I love them. They're cheap and I'm good at installing them. No need to spend $30+ at a Ghost Armor or Invisible Shield kiosk in the mall.

Same thing here... Not very happy with the product. I knew it was bad before i even installed it as the side edges weren't even cut straight.

I received mine too and the top/edge is peeling off and there were dust particles. i contacted them and asked for a replacement.

Thought I'd order one of the dry application ones, it's gonna take a MONTH to arrive!!! now, I know I'm in the UK but come on, in this day and age it shouldn't take a month to send something from the US to the UK...

It feels really nice and smooth. But the top cut outs are terrible. Contacted customer service they said they will replace. We'll see if they fixed their first run issues.

Same thing happened with me. I thought I was just incompetent.

Still don't know why people continue to go with XtremeGuard. The only thing that gets them sales is their big discounts of their "original" price. The quality is pretty horrible. The wet apply ones are very grippy and make your device feel crap.

maybe its a carrier fault, we cant blame the seller. Here on brazil the national carrier is a huge sh*t. The progress between any country to brazil only took 3~5 days. Then the package goes to the national carrier on the "international scan" and stay there for 40 days until anyone found your package lost in a pile of other millions package and send it to your city carrier

I dont bought this HD screen protector, but looking these pictures it feels really crap
I'm using the "standard" (wet) protector and althrough the wet installation and "grip-feeling", I'm already using for 3 months and it stay 100% perfect as the first day I apply it. No dust, no damage, no scratches, no edges taking off. It's not the 'best' protector in the world, but much more resistant than others brands

I'm glad to see I'm not the only person having bad luck with the HD ones. they already shipped me out 2 replacements.

Could be a stress fracture. If you ever carry your phone in your jeans pocket and sit down, it could have stressed the bezel enough to crack.

Yeah that could be.. sucks still.. I hope the n4 is not like the GS5.. kind of want to stay away from plastic samsung but I love the note.. looks like they didnt beef up that spot.. I took the back cover out and I can see its a thin part...
Anoyone know if this can be replaced? As in just that bezel part? Im assuming its built in part of the screen.. going to check out youtube disassemble

It's part of the chassis, you'd have to literally remove every single part from the phone, including the screen/glass, to replace it.

The display/front glass assembly is glued to the chassis so if you try to remove it, you'll likely break it, or at the very least get tons of dust under the screen. Sucks, but you just gotta live with it.

Yeah I ordered a main frame... as for the screen its sealed in so no dust will be going under that as im not replacing the screen part.. replacing most of the part is easy just the screen part will have to take it easy.. I have the tools to do it.. I have taken phone my iphone apart so I have no fear lol

I would call TMo about it, there is no obvious sign of abuse, looks like a manufacturing defect to me. Whats the worse they can say?

Idk about that as I bought it full price no contract on tmo and using it on ATT network, but I will Be going back to t mobile this year. .

Yeah, but you did buy it from T-Mobile regardless of payment or where it's used. Call them. Again, worst they can say is no, but maybe they say yes.....

I have one on mine, same spot

There was a thread just like this one and a few people had the same crack and said it was never dropped. It looks like it may be a stress point and just a weak point.

Yeah sure does look like a weak spot as you can see when you remove the s pen its thin area.. seems like they didnt beef it up a bit.. but yeah im going to replace my frame and baby it even more now..

I do. I use one of the strongest cases which are the UAG's. Ive only dropped the phone once without a case by falling off the bed onto a tile floor. No noticeable damage to the phone aesthetics other than the line near the spen. But I don't think that little fall caused this.

Doesn't bother me. When I first saw it I thought it was apart of the phone. But I will however trade my note 3 because my proximity sensor has been broken for a month now ?

Wish I saw this post yesterday when I went into my rant about build quality...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51464665
What I didn't mention is this happened in a t-mobile store as I was trying this case on during my lunch break. Went back to store and they said there is nothing they can do, even with the manager there I pleaded. So a hairline crack will not be taken care of unless you feel like paying your $175 deductible or whatever it is.
Samsung can't care less, and left another angry voice mail with incipio.

Not buying another Samsung until build quality improves
