i bought the one from verizon. its 3 pack glossy screen protector.
I'd like to find a screen protector that tones down the gloss a little bit.
Is the pack from Verizon like the Droid version (the Verizon branded ones)? Those were about $10 cheaper than the ones at Best Buy, and work a lot better, too.
The ones that Verizon carries are typically the plastic stuff for anti-glare/gloss. Best Buy only carries invisible shields
Anybody recommend one that gives a nice matte finish?

Anyone tried a ZAGG invisibleshield or their competitor Skinomi TechSkin? They are both that propeller rubber. I think I am going to order a skinomi because this screen is bull****. It attracts way too many fingerprings and just lookss disgusting when the screen is off. I wash my hand regularly and it makes me feel dirty
The reason I'm choosing skinomi is that I had a zagg on my HTC EVO, and like many people I tossed it in the bin after a week when the tackiness became intolerable.

Agreed. I had the same issue on my phone and got the Invisible Shield and that made a huge difference. Ordered the same for my Xoom, full body, which I hope will have the same results.
I've also ordered a zagg invisible shield, but just the screen protector. I've had good experiences with the Invisible Shield on my devices (G1, N1, N2, iPad) and expect the product to work well on the Xoom, too.
I do still keep a microfiber cloth around to wipe off the scrud that does inevitably accumulate.
This might be a matter of taste but Zagg skins makes the screen look horrible. Its got like an orange tint to it. I only use the full body skin with some other superclear screen protector. Also invisheild gots like little groves, its not 100% flat.
I got it on my Nexus S and its looks like crap.
Coupon codes...
Hey.
If you're planning on getting a ZAGG shield, you can use the promo code 'ZAGG20' to get 20% off. Working as of 20 minutes ago. The full-body is originally $39.99, but comes down to $31.99 with the code; plus free shipping until late March!
If you're looking to get the Skinomi spin-off, use promo code 'get25' to receive 25% off. The full-body is only $24.99, and with the code it comes down to $18.71! I just ordered one myself. This will be my first Skinomi. I've always went with ZAGG, and have no complaints. But 40 bucks is too much for my taste. Hopefully, the Skinomi works just as well. Same material anyway...

This is great to hear. I love what they put out. They are the only protectors buy. If you put them on corectly you will not even know you have it on.
I used the code and ordered just the screen protector, thanks very much. I love the Invisible Shield on my Nexus One, I hope this compares in quality
Anyone have experience with the Skinomi skins? I've been a big fan of bestskinsever but they don't have one out for the Xoom yet. Much prefer theirs over Zagg. Might consider trying the Skinomi, can anyone recommend them?
I got the Skinomi skin on my incredible and I couldn't believe it. I'll never use those cheap verizon ones again. If it gets scratched it "heals" itself somehow. If you dig your fingernail in it you can feel it give almost like a hard rubber. But when you slide your fingers across the screen it's smooth. I just ordered one for my xoom.
The installation was scary at first because it's a very wet process. You have to get the screen, your fingers, and the protector wet and then wait for it to dry for a few hours. I was scared at first but my incredible doesn't have a scratch and I've had it for 9 months now. I didn't hesitate dropping the $15 to get the xoom protection. No yellowing, it sticks well, and has a lifetime warranty. I highly recommend it.

Thanks for the info on the Skinomi. Think I'll give it a shot...just need to decide whether I want just the screen protector or go with the full body or carbon fiber options. Typically I just get a screen protector...but the back of the Xoom seems like pretty scratch-able.
That's the response I always get. I have the Realook screen protector, I think you can only get it from Amazon.
I've been very happy with Ghost Armor.
I like Seidio's Ultimate Screen Guard.
HTC EVO 4G screen protector
This is where i ordered my screen protector, much cheaper than local shops. crystal and just like you never use a protector on your screen.
I forgot the name brand, but I have a privacy protector. Not because I want to conceal my privacy but because most privacy protectors offer the thickest of SP's!
100% recommend Zagg.
Great protection, dosn't smudge, and lifetime warrenty. I have sent mine back twice now (first time was because I managed to get dirty under it, 2nd because I shattered my screen) and I get a brand new set. Peel it off send it back, done.
Hey,
I agree zagg all day every day! Their protectors are cheap thin, the feel is amazing, they protect from scratches and you can beat them up but it keeps your screen safe! they are easy to apply with solution, and best part when you want a new one just pay a few bucks for shipping send them back the old one and its free!
this video says all! hope i helped!

Zagg is by far the best imho
I had ZAGG on mine for several months. It worked great. I took it off because I didn't like the feeling of it compared to the "glass" feel. I've had it off for a couple months and still no scratches and I like the phone a lot better without it.
I just tried the new anti-glare version from zagg, it was horrible!!! It was like looking through crystallized glass, especially when there was white background. I went back to the original zagg and love it.
I use the one that came with my OtterBox. I thought I was going to hate it but rarely even notice its there any more.
Clarivue. Can barely tell the difference between it and the glass. Just bought my gf some generic ones off Amazon for her shift and the quality was really good for a quarter of the price. Don't think I'll be buying the name brand versions anymore but if I did I'd go with clarivue.

I also use the one that came with my Otterbox case. Before that I also used Invisashield(Spellcheck ).
The touch screen is more prone to breaking from pressure or impact then from scratching.
yess finished my fiends...
I have to say Zagg is the best. For one, if you have them (or someone like best buy mobile install it) both the screen protector and the installation have a lifetime warranty. Meaning if your screen starts to peel off, take it back to Zagg get a new one free, and get the new one put on for free!
i dont like screen protectors and cases and mi phone is perfect but depends how you use it
i've used an the otterbox one for a bit and then a zagg when that wore off but now i have SGP STEINHEIL anti fingerprint one. i didnt really care bout the fingerprint part but liked that it was slightly matte so its wayyy easier to see with sunglasses on
I'm using the one that I came with the otterbox. It has been on since September, with heavy use/abuse. Its just barely starting to peel at the corners.

Zagg since launch day. Has a couple of pretty decent "marks", but when the screen is on you cannot even notice it. It is the only protection that I use. No peeling so far.

Zagg! You cant beat the warranty if something does happen to it. If you can find a kiosk let them install it. Its the only thing I will let someone else work on my phone.
Hey guys!
I just receive my screen protector today that I got off ebay. Just want to warn you guys how bad the quality is!
I always buy screen protector off ebay since they are cheap and good. I usually buy from seller that are in Hong Kong or China cuz they are the cheapest and the quality is not bad!
But with the galaxy note, I bought from this seller from Germany..cuz it was cheapest and I figure, hey its germany, couldn't be that bad. Afterall they are known for techy stuff? lol
anyway, its really bad quality. The screen protector film is VERY filmsy..pardon the pun. Its really soft making it almost impossible to squeeze out the bubble.
also when i tried to squeeze the bubble with a credit card, the screen protector is scratch up already =.=" this is the worst film protector i have bought and I bought my fair share of film protectors lol
I am new user...can't post the ebay link?! the seller name is protectionfilms24....
I just re-bought some screen protector from a Hong Kong seller...hopefully it will be better!!
I bought Some from germany too from ebay, But it was crap. It said in the description is was ultra thin or something like that, should of payed attention. Bought a sixpack from china, they are perfect not even 1 buble after applying. The other foil had 30 bubbles ...

i bought the germany ones, but was able to apply it without any bubbles. the trick is you use a credit card, but then wrap the card in gladwrap or anything plasticky. then you just use the card to press down across the entire width of the screen, and use enough force to firmly spread the screen protector across the screen.
im still waiting for the antiglare ones i ordered from ebay though, so the only other screen protectors i can compare them to are the ones i cut myself.
I ordered a pdair ultra clear screen protector and am very pleased with out. It had a backing which you remove inorder to stick it to the screen.After it is stuck on you remove another protective film to reveal the actual screen protector itself. So basically the screen protector has two layers which you have to remove. This ensures that the screen protector is not damaged when you apply it. Hope that made slme sense?
Regarding screen protectors, some people are selling crap on Ebay, but, let's be clear!: You can't expect miracles if price is lower than X (put here a minimum logical figure in your local currency...)
I think we all have had tempted to buy on Ebay some cheap protectors "just to check" "because they are a bargain" "who knows"....
Quality has a price anywhere....
i ordered the same one, i had the seller refund me the money even if it was only a couple bucks
I bought 10 for 5.90 and i was very very suprised how good they are. Very smooth and can hardly tell they are there. I got a link on the screen protectors thread. Not all cheap ones are rubbish. I normally used martin fields before but these are better. I can put a link on here if you want to try those?

Thanks indie.
Do the protectors have cut outs for buttons etc, it's not apparent from the pics. Also, how did you apply them? I normally buy cheap ones off ebay and apply them with a tiny bit of fairy liquid and water and they go on perfectly, but some don't go on that way.
It has a cut out for the home button and speaker at the top to the front cam. These are dry apply so no water or anything needed. I use a credit card to apply and have fitted 4 of these on friends notes and there are no bubbles at all. Just make sure screen is clean

Thanks again, I might try them out.
I'm not experienced in screen protectors.. but I bought this:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/130600576726?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
and the screen protector that came with it seems quite good to me.. also its the first one I've put on that hasn't bubbled at all...
like sticker，not screen protector
I ordered an @folix protector off Amazon. They stuffed up the first batch because they were cut wrong but the second ones they sent are excellent. They are made in Germany and are quite a thick film. Top quality! Just make sure your glass is perfectly clean before applying.
So I'm aware that there are tons of threads around about screen protectors and I just want to make a poll for people without the screen protectors so they'll know what to get I've included some coupons for each one
I'll be naming the major brand ones only since they're easier to identify.
Please tell me if there are any other brands that I'm missing
The choices are listed above
Zagg Invisible Shield
Coupon (20% off): ZAGG20
Skinomi Techskin
Coupon (25% off): get25 or skinomi25
SGP Ultra Oleophobic
Can't find a coupon for this :/
SGP Flex
None either
XO Skin

So please vote for the brand that you're currently using and comment about your screen protector
If everyone can share some thoughts about their screen protector like:
Name of Your Screen Protector:
Wet/Dry Application:
Easiness to Install:
Orange Peel (Yes/No):

You can rate them 1-5, or just comment on them whichever is fine
1 Being unsatisfied, and 5 being satisfied
Thats all I can think of so far, but I'll add on more if I can come up with more later
Ordered a BestSkinsEver, which is currently running 25% off. Hopefully I'll actually have the phone soon to use it with...
I would vote for none

Not all of them are wet application
Only skinomi, xo, and flex are (I'm not sure about zagg)
And wet application shouldn't damage your beloved phone since it dries fairly quickly!

Zagg is wet also so it would have been easier just saying the Ultra Oleophobic is the only non-wet one.
I bought one called iskinz locally in Canada. I really like it and I think it's a lot smarter that they use an alcohol base for the installation instead of water base. It evaporated so fast and I had zero haze or bubbles like I did with all the others that use water.

I installed the SGP flex quite easily.
Wet isn't as risky as people make it out to be.
the ones i picked up at the verizon store
$3 ones from Amazon that fit, look, and feel perfect.
I haven't bought a screen protector yet, but I'm planning to when I pick up my Verizon LTE Galaxy Nexus (YAY!!!!). I want to understand the types of screen protectors out there because I usually kind of get whatever is out there.
I'm assuming wet applications will generally give you that orange peel effect. These usually offer better protection and coverage, but clarity of the display and feel of it???
What's the downside of a "dry" application of a screen protector?

I was a little surprise to see all the others,
but I added a few things that maybe people can help to rate each individual categories or something like that
i dont know which one is better , may be i will use nothing
i used the one that came with my diztronics tpu case. it is actually pretty good and only leaves about a mm all the way around which is acceptable. too many dry screen protectors go edge to edge and it makes installation more challenging. i came away with no dust and centered perfect with it. i ordered a skinomi but i don't know if i'm going to put it on. wet application bothers me a little bit. other than that, i usually use el cheapos from hong kong and they have always worked great on my other phones.
I am normally not the type to write a review of a product just simply because I'm not usually impressed by a product. Upon purchasing this phone I looked at it as an investment a year down the line something new come out and I want to protect this in order to get the best resale value of the phone. I hate using a screen protector I always have felt that no matter what I used it took away from the color and clarity of my screen and also ended up getting a lot of a fine scratches on it that I never really noticed on the gorilla glass.
Installation for this product literally only took me about five minutes and I am no expert when it comes to installing screen protectors. Though the screen protector does not have any healing abilities due to its surface like other screen protectors of finish on it is absolutely smooth as silk which is what I was looking for since I use Swype to text. The other ones with the healing ability the surface is just too sticky to use swipe texting in an efficient manner.
The product is a little bit pricey I picked it up at a local Best Buy store for about $27 with tax but it is well worth it to a protect my investment that I plan on selling in the future.
It comes with a lifetime warranty so I do not even have to worry about damaging the screen protector as I will be able to get a new one in replacement of this for the longevity of the phone. I'm not a rich person by any means and $27 for a thin piece of film for my phone is a lot to me but I have to say it's definitely worth it.
Pros – silky smooth finish that easily wipes off any smudges that may occur. Very tough military grade scaring protector used helicopter blades. Amazing see-through clarity zero opaqueness. Very easy application takes literally minutes.
Cons – price is a little bit high probably could've got a cheaper online but I did not want to wait. Removing the extra water and bubbles seems almost impossible to get every single square inch of it out I'm hoping they will evaporate in a few days.
I hope you all enjoyed my first review of a product.
Good review. I have the HD on my phone as well. I was a bit worried at first, as there seemed to be some "orange peel" effect after installing. After a couple days, I'd say 90% is gone. Fortunately, I got mine for free using a BB gift card. If I had to choose one to purchase, I'd probably just go with the SGP Ultra Nano Clear. Cheaper, much larger install base, and easier to lay on - plus, I wouldn't be fuelling Best Buy.

I bought 4 and I've used Invisishield on other phones. I do recommend it to a lot of people. While the HD is clearer than the regular, it can eventually become riddled with dents and scratches. Thankfully, as you said, there is a lifetime warranty on the screen protectors so send it back for a new one. Just pay the shipping and handling.

The lifetime warranty is a plus. I've also found that scratches / dents on the screen will repair itself in about an hour or so. Kinda spooky.
I don't have the HD version, just the regular zagg invisibleshield, but I'm really disappointed with it. They actually put a zagg logo on the damn thing, which is ironic considering "invisible" is in the product name. It's really quite noticeable on the white s3, pretty big bummer, in addition to the terrible feel and poor cutout quality. I will never buy another zagg product.
It's funny, I I asked the guy working at a zagg kiosk about the branding, and noticed his iphone did not have it. He said it was because of the size of the screen. Then blamed the logo on the fact that some company called body armor or something also started offering phone skins. So if another company offers a similar product you differentiate by making yours worse?
Does the HD version still have the zagg logo in the bottom right?
I seem to remember reading the HD version does not repair itself well or at all? The thread (which I can not find) even quote's a Zagg CSR explaining that the HD is thinner than the original, and because of that it doesn't have the same healing advantages... DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER, I'M SIMPLY REPEATING WHAT I READ HERE. And it was because of that thread when I bought MINE, I bought the original NON-HD version, because I was familiar with it and KNEW it repairs itself. I can live with the slight orange peel knowing that if I put the phone in my pocket with my keys, my phone case + screen will be protected. :good:
I keep going back and forth on buying one of these, the HD version. Your review may push me to try it. I had the original on a previous phone and I didn't like the orange peel and the sticky feeling. Thanks for the review.
I had a similar Zagg branding on my old HTC vivid. Turned out that Zagg logo scratched right off. Almost like scratching off a lottery ticket. Might give your Zagg logo a gentle scratching - bet it comes off.

I have the HD installed presently. I like it. It's a good protector. ...until I think about how much I paid for it. It is a couple bucks less than the XGearlive tempered glass protector that is coming out later this month.
Friend works at Future Shop, got it for $7 and did professional installation ( or experienced ), and yes its silky smooth
I generally dislike screen protectors and have posted many times how they aren't necessary. That being said, I had a Zagg HD installed at a local Best Buy Mobile just to see if I'd like it. It's been on several weeks now but every day I contemplate ripping it off because of the dents and orange peel effects along with some tiny debris that collects along the edges sometimes but I've held back so far. I don't think it'll last much more than a few weeks though........ I miss my perfect and bare screen but I don't miss my paranoid expectation that a screen scratch is inevitable.

Does anyone use a case with their InvisiShield HD? I have the Body Glove case, which I really like... but the lip around the front of the screen is so tight, it pushes the edges of the InvisiShield up off the screen. Luckily I was able to push the shield back down with apparently no damage, but now I can't use my case. I still have time to return it, but now I'm wondering what case is compatible with the screen protector?
