Using water to put them on always made me a little nervous, but I have always heard good things about the invisible shields.

+1 for zagg.

I bought one of the no glare ones from the verizon store when I pre-ordered my X, and I still have the same one on and it's awesome. Great in sunlight too.
SGP Steinheil Ultra Crystal Clear
or
SGP Steinheil Anti-Fingerprint Film
are really good screen protectors.
^ This this this.
I went the Zagg route, thanks all!
+1 for the SGP Steinheil Ultra Crystal Clear
The slight orange peel surface on the Zagg puts me off it, but I use it on most of my other gadgets that don't have such pretty screens as the Dx.
No need for a screen protector, its gorilla glass, wont scratch

If your careful with your phone I'd suggest no screen protector at all, but I'm the guy that uses lint free cloth to wipe my screens, not the bottom of my T-shirt.

Have had them since my BB. I dropped one (BB) onto the my tripod 1/4-20 post screen first.
that protector CHIPPED it hit so hard on that rough metal edge, but the screen under it was perfect. I was sold after that
people will hate on this bc i think most do not like the feel of the screen..
however, i have have Zagg InvisibleShields on every device I've ever owned and love them. Quality product.

For how long do you have your phone?
Curious, because I would like to NOT use a protector.
Thanks,
Zagg was a nightmare for me. Hated it like crazy.
Love my otterbox screen saver

i honestly wouldn't even recommend one. every protector i tried made me aggravated by either little bubbles or a haze. i said f it took it off and for the last year i haven't had one scratch. the gorilla glass is tough! i have dropped the phone more times than you can imagine on hard and soft surfaces form high and low heights.. it's good stuff.
I use cheap ones from ebay. They are actually good quality
Made in japan and they are high grade optical clarity or something
Sounded like a bunch of salesmanship (lies) but when I got them I was amazed.
Cant remember who seller was tho lol.
I used the Verizon ones and hated em. Wasted money on an Orange Peel ZAGG. I went to my local mall about 7 months ago and the product is Ghost Armor. They guarantee it for life. No hazing, no orange peel, etc.
hey guys. so I had a problem with the Zagg Shield HD...once I got the extended battery and the case for it..it kept lifting up. My wife has her on her phone and it's now got a bunch of marks on it.
So I tried the Spigen glas. protector. looks beautiful but always had sensitivity issues. They sent me a free replacement. still, i'm not enjoying the phone as much and I feel it's down to how I have to press extra hard on the back button and type extra slow...
so, what is the best "old-school" screen protector i can get that won't affect sensitivity but still protects the screen from scratches? I need one that won't go to the edges but also won't just be the screen part...if that makes sense. something like the coverage of the Spigen glas without the sensitivity issues i'm having with the glas.
thanks!
Try the Anzer/Amzer. What ever it is called. I plan on replacing my Spigen Glass screen protector with one of those. I hated my zagg invisible shield HD.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
searched Amazon and three versions came up. they all look like they go to the edge of the screen, which is not good with cases on the extended battery. that's why I had to get rid of the Zagg...
any others?
I am just using the one that came with my Diztronic case and I ordered a pack of 3 screen protectors from Amazon for $3.85 (for my wife's GS3). They are all clear, don't mess with the sensitivity, and look great. If I hand my phone to 10 people, 9 of them wouldn't even know that have I have a screen protector on there and the 1 that does know would know because they are looking for it.
I don't know why everyone insists on getting these tempered glass screen protectors or the Zagg-like (rubber feeling) screen protectors that you can't poke a pen or a drill bit through in a YouTube video. All I need is something that will keep my keys from scratching up the screen in my pocket and if it does scratch the screen protector I want to be able to replace it quickly and cheaply. For basically a buck each... You can't go wrong.
I still have the original 'cheap' screen protector on my old Vibrant that my kid is using and it still looks great so I have never needed to change them out. I still have 2 out of the 3 that I bought back when I got that phone so I am ready to go if/when it needs replacing.
Spigen nano clear is good. It came with my case. The edges only go to the edge of the screen so it's good if u have a bulky case. It's also really easy to clean and feels smooth like glass
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
anyone try the Spigen 4H protector?
the nano and clear are 2H, the glas is 8H, this one is 4H and seems to be more like a film but stronger than the other models.
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...axy-s3-screen-protector-steinheil-series.html
I'm looking for a good and cheap screen protector too. I prefer the dry application hard plastic ones (4H), I don't like the tempered glass neither the wet application skins.
I have the SGP Ultra Nano Clear and it's good sp but scratched easily. I had the Ultra Crystal, it was better but the fit wasn't right (too big, caused the edges to peel). I think they fixed its size already, not sure.
My ideal sp would be the curved and clear with 4H hardness and fingers print resist at a price of less than $15 (for 2 ps). I found one from korea - SkinPlayer 3D, but it's more expensive than $15 and can't be found outside korea. there's a topic about it -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856079
I think i'll go with the Ultra Crystal again. unless somebody will recommend a cheaper sp with the same or better quality.
sounds like you're describing the one I posted above in terms of look, hardness, price, etc. but now it's just a question of whether it'll peel on the sides or not...
any other suggestions?
I'm really ITCHING to get rid of this Spigen glas thing...I was ready to order the Nano Optics but the reviews are so mixed for those online I don't want to waste my time and money anymore.
why do local stores only carry Zagg?! ahhhh
Go with the just like glass protector by dba. I just put it on and it feels exactly like the glass.

i appreciate your enthusiasm, but there's a few things that concern me. Spigen makes the glas, and both of them have had horrible sensitivity. second, the curvel crystal makes it sound like it goes to the edges of the phone...and that was my problem with the Zagg Shield HD...the cases were lifting the edges badly.
is either of these things happening to you? do you have a picture of how it looks on the phone?

I have the spigen curved one also, no issues at all with sensitivity, not sure where you heard that? It feels really good, like no layer at all. I can't tell you whether it will lift up or not with a case, my case is 2 pieces so it never pushes against the edges..
Hello all, I like Ghost Armor for the body of devices but their screen protectors suck and get carved up by the stylus.
What are some of the harder and smoother protectors that work well with the Note's stylus?
Thanks,

It increases a friction a bit initially but over about a week it'll smooth out and write well. I don't get any stylus marks. I clean the protector occasionally with zagg foam and it's like new. I have the full body version. As a warning if you get the back protector it needs to be cut to accommodate the s-pen. I've been working with zagg to get them to fix it. I ended up just cutting mine.
I am hoping for glass smoothness. I finally got the SPG glas on my Note LTE and it really spoiled me but they don't make that in 10.1 size.

I also have Zagg screen protector. It does have resistance. The pen does not move freely on the screen. It does leave marks on the protector.
The screen can self healing so most of marks will disappear after a while.
Zagg suggest uses of Turtle Wax. Performance is acceptable with turtle wax apply to it weekly.

I bought the zagg protector BC that's all best buy had. After 1 day of my kids using it the screen protector was ruined. It was all scratched up and even broke in spots lol. I went and bought a armorsuit militaryshield and its holding up great so far. You can see marks from the pen but its not scratches and my kids color hard. Its a little thick and sometimes I have to press a little hard but it works great other than that.

Thanks, gmfeny, for the heads up on Zagg. This was discussed in the larger screen protector thread. I'm at the armor suit website now. Did you get the screen protector for 19.95? Is it Glossy? This looks like it adheres similar to the Clear-Plex brand. Thanks.
I got it from amazon I think for around $19 and it came with the clear body shield to protect the rest of the tab. It is glossy not one of those dull anti glare ones and its a wet application or whatever its called so you can't really mess up putting it on.

I got a Steinhill (SGP) for $20 from Amazon. I use them for all of my devices and they stand up really well. They are difficult to apply because one spec of dust will ruin it. Take your time applying (in a steamy bathroom is helpful) and all will be good.

I use the Xtreme guard screen protector. It is similar to the Zagg protector people have been talking about, It is self healing so has no scratches, even after my 2 year nephew got on it with a pen...
At the moment Xtreme guard are having a sale, If you buy 2 protectors use the coupon code 75off2 and you'll get a good deal.
It is also put on using water. You need to soak the protector in water, take off the cloudy protective backing and put it onto the note 10.1 screen wet. Make sure the tab is off. It's pretty easy, take about 10 minutes and once on is really good. If you need to take off it comes off fairly easily but you won't take it off accidentally...
They also have a body shield too that keeps everything looking new...
Just purchased a couple new protectors, code is still good... Would've been $15 for screen and body protector X2 if I lived in America but since I live in Oz it cost $19..
I got my clear plex screen protector yesterday and is awesome. I go through screen protectors like crazy. Heard about clear plex the other day and truly impressed. Stylus does not stick as I use my note for graphic designs and freehand drawing.
Highly recommend

Was the clearplex hard to install. I have had really hard time with Zagg in the past so I am a little leary to try to install the the clearplex because I don't want to mess it up.
Installed a bodyguardz last night. I've trusted their gear on all devices. Epic 4g, iPhone 3g, S3, and now my note 10.1. It seems to be pretty smooth. Easy to install with the lube they send. Doesn't seem to keep finger prints and comes with a fancy microfiber as well.
Hi, you can try replacing the tip of the stylus with the full white plastic tip. It will be smoother.
What do you use. What's your setup? Idk how I feel about using a case and no screen protector. I feel as if it defeats the purpose of protection

The case is too tight and scratch the left top corner. My advice is to keep the case on and never take it off. Or use a soft case like a tpu.

Case took only a few days to get used to and it's worth it. Helps when the materials are soft touch as on the Fusion Hybrid.
The screen protector is nice having the piece of mind but the plastic ones can never be as smooth as glass.

Shellster case for my N5
Hi
I use this shellster case for my N5 and for still I have not used any screen protector on my N5 as it protects my phone completely it does not let the screen to touch surface even when I put it on the table even from the screen behalf...it has a 180 stand view that also makes me comfortable for media viewing in both mode in landscape and portrate and it also ensures the safety of my phone quite well too..so I like this case and would recommend too...the only thing I just need to update in it is to have some protection in the lower end as it is open from their...but that hardly effects as it covers the corners properly...so simply I have a case with a combo of Holster and Kick stand....So I just love it and quite happy with it.....
I was using an extreme guard screen protector...but it was coming up at the corners and looked pretty aesthetically displeasing so I took it off a few days ago.. the bare glass is so nice and smooth to the touch... I think I will let the Gglass do it's job until I have to run into my old nemesis quartz sand when I go to Florida this spring break

No case, no screen protector.
First we don't need a screen protector, the screen is hard enough to protect from friction.
Second you'll waste the original back of N5, course the touch feeling of any other case cannot be better than the skin like material.
That's my opinion:fingers-crossed:

Actually, the screen can very easily scratch, all it takes is a bit of sand or dust in your pocket. Glass is harder than steel, so keys are not a concern, but most sand is silicon, which is the same hardness as glass, and some sand or dust can even be corundum or diamond, and there is just no way to stop that from scratching any surface.

I use regular screen protectors. I tend to change them every 3 weeks or so.
I've bought some cheap ones from ebay as well as the xtremeguard ones (not the HD one you linked). Also note there's always an 85-90% coupon for xtremeguard products. I've recently purchased "HD" non-glass and "fingerprint resistant" non-glass ones from aliexpress which should arrive soon.
If I were to offer you advice, grab a few different kinds of cheap ones. I've found the 5pack ones I bought for around $4-5 with shipping are not bad at all.
Wow.. Every 3 weeks??
I have a nexus 4 right now and have the spigen ultra crystal for about a year and a half and it's still in pretty good shape.
By the way I made an order with xtremeguard with a 90% coupon. I got both the HD and regular screen protector I hope they are good.

With my old phones I never believed in using cases or screen protectors. With my Oneplus I'm a little more careful I suppose.
I change them so often because I have a whole bunch, some of which I haven't tried yet (regular, tempered, HD, anti-fingerprint, etc) and the slightest blemish or anything drives me nuts.
I am also thinking about buying one...deciding between RhinoShiled and Orzly, both seem perfectly fine.

For me they like the actual screen which is good. I got tired of that rubbery feeling and plus bubbles and peeling. I find the glass to be easier application. Zero bubbles. Try one, if you don't like, go back to the other. No biggie
I have used both the xtremeguard screen protectors on my previous phones and now on my One I got their Spartan Shield tempered glass. Overall, I like the glass protector. It's a little thicker at .40mm, but I don't have any issues with touch sensitivity. Also, it fits the unit very well. I had another tg protector I purchased off eBay, and while it was slightly thinner at .3mm, it didn't fit the screen as well.
Here's the one caveat with purchasing from xtremeguard, it takes a long time to get their products. I live in the next state over from where they ship and it took over a week for me to get it. Also, their packaging is rather minimalistic and the first protector arrived cracked. Same thing happened to a friend with his tg protector. Apparently, they don't have any expedited shipping options.
Never had any issues with their regular screen protectors. Can beat them for the price.
Hope this helps.

Try the orzly tempered glass it has round corners which makes it feel like there is no screen protector on at all.
For some reason I do not like glass screen protectors.

I applied my Orzly tempered glass screen protector in a steamed up bathroom to prevent dust.... Applied pretty easy. Had to do one quick lift to readjust but am real happy with the look and feel. No dust or bubbles. Doesn't seem to bother touch responsiveness either.... I would certainly recommend. Be carful with the install.... You only get one in the package.

I prefer Skinomi screen protectors. They are very good, and have a lifetime replacement warranty.
Skinomi!
So I've used the Orzly, Nilkin, and Rhino Shield protectors. The Rhino shield was an oil magnet and started to bubble/ peel ever so slightly after a while. The Nilkin wasn't nearly as smooth as the Orzly and scratched much easier. So i'd recommend going with the orzly.
So I've this one: https://oneplus.net/oneplus-premium-screen-protector in the Anti-Fingerprint version. That Anti-Fingerprint is not completely true, I can see fingerprints and other oily stuff on it. Also, that version tends to reflect much.
And I somehow got a scratch into it.
Is there someone out there who also has a screen protector, from a 3rd party? Can someone recommend one? I don't really want tempered glass.

Hi,
Try this from Orzly: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KQKATH8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It is a tempered glass one and it works great with cases. It doesn't say that it is oleophobic, but it cleans easier than the actual screen.
I will suggest mocolo glass. This is good for glass protector. http://glass4m.com/product/mocolo-premium-tempered-glass-screen-protector-for-oneplus-one/
The thread starter is asking for "regular" screen protectors, not (tempered) glass ( = like I did) ...
