Today I discovered I have a small scratch on my screen (no bigger than an 1/8th inch) but it's really bothering me, especially since I just got my phone a couple weeks ago and the glass is suppose to be scratch resistant.
What's a good suggestion for a screen protector? I did some searching and found zagg invisible shield. I've seen good
reviews and bad reviews for it.
Will anything "fix" or hide the scratch so it's not noticeable?
Thanks.

Should of bought one at the moment you got the phone. Take it it's not your first. A glass one should hide it but you will always know it's there. If you are like me it will just rent space in your head...

I had a nexus 7 and had no problems with scratches on the screen (until my dog destroyed it).
Any certain brands I should look for? Any I should avoid?

Matte screen protectors usually hide any micro/light scratches. Super shieldz is a good brand for matte screen protectors.

I wrote a review on amFilm screen protectors. I swear by them. You can find them on Amazon for about $4.95 for 3. Well worth it. Here's my review: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2641859

Don't anti glare, anti fingerprint protectors degrade the screen quality though? Id like something which isn't too noticeable.
I was looking at the HD XTreme guard the other day. So many different choices, don't know what to pick

Take my word for it and try the amFilm protectors. If properly applied, you won't know it's there, and feels like glass. (after a few minutes of getting your skin oils worked in) If you don't believe me, then good luck in your search.

I went ahead and ordered the supershieldz. If I don't like it I'll try the amFilm. Screen protectors and cheap so no loss lol.

u're joking right?
Zagg is a humongous piece of crap. I got it free when I bought the phone....really...even those 10 screen protectors for £1 are better!
I now have the SGP curved crystal....and IT IS AWESOME!...(as long as you manage to install it properly )

I have the sgp ultra nano and love it. Wish it didn't get as greasy but it's soooo better than the zagg.
Zagg protectors are worse than the $1.00 screen protectors on eBay that come with like 7 protectors. Absolute garbage screen protectors.
I am using the Ultra Nano Clear and it is one of the best screen protectors I have used for any phone.
Try Dynaflo, it is a nano liquid application. There is nothing to apply but a few sprays.
SGP nano is sooo clear compared to the zagg.
Ive never used screen protectors, but im using a zag hd with no complaints.
Why you guys hate on zagg? Whats wrong with them?

Sounds nice. Prior experiences with them have sucked. I'm torn between this and the full screen dry application screen protectors.

I recommend SGP Ultra Nano - one of the best screen protectors, very thin and clear though hard to apply; Zagg shield turns yellow after a few months
Get the nano, if you have any type of case the tiny edge that is left exposed is a non issue. I will agree that its sorta tough to install really any of these perfect. The nano came with 3 luckily as I jacked up the first one because you cant freakin see the thing on there and it was crooked...but second time was good. So I still have one left over to use once this one gets too banged up.

I use the Ringbo Ultimate Clear Plus. It's a PET film which is like thick plastic. I love it because it doesn't feel sticky to the touch like other screen protectors. Check it out on Amazon. Comes with 2 per pack.

Which one do you use ?
The dry protector that came with my Diztronic case was decent. However, after experiencing the XO Skins wet apply screen protector on my Galaxy Nexus I decided to get it for the Galaxy SIII as well. Defintely the best quality screen protectors I've used in terms of clarity, feel, fit, and ease of install.
http://xoskins.com/cell-phone-skin-.../samsung-galaxy-s-3-screen-protector-case-fit
I highly recommend it.
However, the one downside is that both times I have ordered these protectors in the "case fit" version, they have sent me the full screen version instead. This isn't a huge deal for me since I have a case that works with the full screen protector. But if you need a case fit one which works with many TPU cases, make sure you check that it is the case fit when you receive it.
But even with that hick-up I am still extremely pleased with the protector.

Hi guys,
As the topic states, I noticed last week while cleaning my screen I have a scratch around 1 inch on the top left... No idea how it happened. With my S2 I dropped it several times on the floor and it's still clean as new. Any tip to the scratch?
Thanks
You can buy a screen protector which usually fills in the scratch so it's not noticeable and protects against future scratches!

im with you, ever since the first galaxy ive never experienced a scratch.. till now, its sad, i have like 2 tiny scratches.. ive just been real careless with my phone lately =/
Armor Suit has worked really well for me. If you give it a 5 start rating after purchasing it on Amazon, they usually ship you a free extra protector.
anyone have any experience with vaseline to fill in scratches?

How does the armorSuit shield feel when you touch it? is it like the invisible shield or an ebay protector? I never thought I would have to use a protector again
most of the scratches are on the oleophobic coating. You can try this to see if it gets restored.

I say just live with it. In one year will you care? You will get the galaxy s4. Its just a phone. The android OS will outgrow it and when it becomes slow you. I just saw a scratch on my s3 today. I'm not crying about it. My s2 had a scratch too. These screens do scratch I dont care how careful you are. :good:

If u like invisibleshield, try out xtremeguard. They are exactly the same thing, except xtremeguard is a lot cheaper.

I installed the Zagg HD screen protector on my new Note 2 yesterday, and I will tell you it should not have been cleared for use with the Note 2. It is so soft that it feels like it's ribbed from using swype with the S-Pen... and I don't press hard at all. What's worse, it's effecting the accuracy of the S-Pen itself, as I find I need to press harder. I would not recommend this screen protector for use with our amazing device. Really looking like I might have to go naked unless I can find a very S-Pen friendly protector!
PS
Best Buy Mobile offered to exchange the protector for me and install it tomorrow, an offer which I am going to accept and deal with until I find the best alternative.
I have the extreme guard $4 body and screen. Everything works flawless.

I made the mistake of believing the saleslady at Best Buy Mobile that the new Zagg HD was just fine with the S-Pen... first mistake. I have a Rearth screen protector waiting for me at home once I return from this business trip... but ya, I am looking forward to the upcoming Glas protector as well. Any word on it's release date?
I was on the same boat I bought the rubber screen.. shouldve posted a warning but got lazy :/
And I asked sgp and all they said so far was that it was a wip... and blah blahs
The glass protector is the best doe cause it feels as it were naked <3
But ill make a thread when I hear about the protector

I'm using the zagg smudge proof protector from best buy and it is not rubbery, doesn't dent or scratch and is true full screen. So far I'm extremely happy with it. Your fingers slide across the screen better with it than naked also there's no orange peel effect either.
If anyone is interested IMHO this is the best zagg to put on.

I had an armorsuit on another device, and had intended to go that route with the X as well, but they still weren't shipping it. Picked up the 1cent Skinomi and put it on last night. Wet install isn't a big deal so long as you read the instructions, keep your hands wet with their spray, and also spray the protector. Get it wet enough that you can move it around once it's on the phone, then use the included squeegee to get the water out.
Can't even tell it's on there, but I feel better knowing that if I put my keys in the wrong pocket (what can I say, I have my dumb moments!), that I won't scratch up the screen.

I just can't stand the feel of wet applied protectors on the screen over the glass it comes with. I like the wet protectors on the back, gives it some hold on surfaces as well, but I went with a dry static for the front.

I honestly don't feel the difference. Probably a personal preference deal there.
Just got one of these and it works great. The wet apply made me a little nervous, and it looks like crap initially. After 24 hours though it looks pretty much perfect. It feels nice and isn't very noticeable. I didn't seem to get any dust under either. I'm guessing the solution helps squeegee out debris when you put the protector on.
bought one and it is cut amazingly
