do you use a screen protector?

When I bought this vibrant used, it already has a screen protector. Either the previous owner applied it wrong or the screen protector was awful! The colors on the screen were completely washed out and it removed from the beauty of the SAMOLED

Buy a realook.

No, and I've had mine for a few months and still can't see any scratches on it.

I'm running Ghost Armor and I love it.

i bought a 3 pack of clear screen protectors on ebay. they cost $5 for all three and look amazing. They also feel really slick on the fingers. Colors are great on my samoled. DONT buy a mirror screen protector! They suck bad,,,

I second the realook. Kinda of a pain to install. 1 spec of dusts will ruin the look. But worth it. Looks awesome.

Nude is the BEST!!
I've had my phone since July and have gone naked since September and the screen still looks good as new! I keep it in my pocket at times and sometimes in a holster, but all I have on it at all times is a hard-rubber case.

I do not use a screen protector. If I find one that is nearly invisible then I will use one.

I do. I have tried BodyGuardz, Zagg's and Realook and i would recommend Realook if you choose to go with one, you wont even notice that there's a screen protector there.

shouldn't the gorilla glass screen give sufficient protection against scratches?

It does offer some protection against minor scratches but doesn't full protect your screen, personally I use a reallook screen protector and it works wonderfully. No color or.image distoetion thar I can see and I've been using it since.october now.

I use Realook
It was super easy to apply, and is colorless! I l-o-v-e it

I use ghost armor all the way! They will cover the whole phone and a lifetime warranty, so they replace the armor anytime for free.

I was thinking ghost armor. Now with otterbox coming out with a vibrant model ill wait till then. I used a crap protector from walmart and it was fine for a while. I went to tmobile and the store help saw my screen and thought that I had messed it up. After explaining to him what it was he said that I didn't need one cause of the gorilla glass, and I haven't had one on sense then. Saying that it is completely scratch resistant is kind of a lie, as if I look hard enough I can see a very very fine scratch in the lower corner of my phone. You have to look real hard and get the light just right.

i used a 5-pk i got from ebay... lol i dont understand the reason on buying the higher end ones,but to each his own. i'm not that big of a visualphile to spend that kind of money on screen protectors....
and gorilla glass is MORE scratch RESISTANT instead of scratch PROOF. Big difference.

I've kept a skinomi on mine since I bought it in august and it's barely noticeable. Doesn't changes the color or brightness, but does make the screen just a tad less slick, but I got used to that in a week. Lifetime warranty too.

invisible shield is what i use, works great and feels great

I'm using this http://www.stealthguards.com/index.php/cellphones/samsung-vibrant-full-body-protection.html. They're free, you just pay shipping. I love mine. Can't tell it's there at all. I didn't use the one for the back though as I have my phone in a hard case.

i had ghost armor installed on my phone when i first got it and i hated it. every little speck of dust and lint from my pocket got stuck on the coating edges. also the dude at the place i got it installed at told me that if there are any problems with it after it dried all the way to just come back and they would reapply it for no charge. needless to say, they didnt apply it correctly the first time and i went back. they tried to charge me another $25. me and my friend (who also got it applied and had issues) told him to go **** himself.

Is it nessessory to get a screen protector for SGS3

Is it nessessory for me to get a screen protector for my new SGS3?
I heavily rely on the sensitive feel on the screen, and i just don't want to sacrifice its original beauty. i heard the screen on galaxy s3 use gorilla glass, need no protector any more, but i still worry to see scratches.
How about u guys? will u buy a screen protector?

I have a zagg screen cover (regular, not full body) but didn't care for it too much. It was put on perfectly (or as perfect as it could get) and I felt like it did dull the screen colors down a bit
I recently took it off when my Diztronic case came in and now just carry a micro fiber cloth with me. If the phone goes in my pocket I can slid that right over the screen
So I'd say no screen protector. If you have an extra micro fiber cloth around I would just use that

If you don't get one, you will be Nesses-Sorry (Title spelling joke. Oh, I am so original)
In all seriousness, no, it's not. The glass is pretty tough, it may get a few little scratches, maybe one or 2 big ones over the life of the phone. BUT if you're OCD about keeping the glass pristine, you want one, because gorilla glass is not invincible.
I got one for the future resale value bonus of "No Scratches", and as long as you get a smooth dry application screen protector, you won't notice a degradation of the feel of the surface of the phone.

which kind of screen protector did u get? cuz i think smooth ones will definitly influence the touch feeling and sensitivity. i play games a lot, so i hope to maintian its sensitivity with no scraches.

Iv never used a screen protector on any of my glass screen phones starting with 3gs on launch day. Iv never had any scratches at all. My right pocket is for my phone never anything else and I never set it down. Its in my hand or pocket

agreed! I accidentally used a Starbucks napkin to clean the screen from my greasy hands and fukin regret it dearly. My screen got three pretty long noticeable scratches (visible only when the screen is off and in the light) bothers me knowing that it's there and how stupid of me to have used a recycle napkin made with "at least 40% post-consumer fiber".

Though everyone has an opinion I think that its a must. Don't be fooled by Gorilla Glass it is not scratch proof. I baby my electronics and had never scratched a screen on any device I had owned. Then I look at my Galaxy Note and there are 2 scratches from NO-WHERE. Just poof no drop no bump...
So to be cautious I will always have one now.

I had a package of cheap screen protectors from 2007.. probably not even made for touch phones! But they fit so we installed them. The touchscreen works great and the screen looks fine. I can hardly tell it's there.
I know it'd drive me crazy if I got a scratch on my phone and had to look at for the next 2 years I'd definitely recommend buying a screen protector! I'm sure anything being sold today is better than what we've got installed So hopefully you won't even notice it and can protect your screen

I ALWAYS get one. If it makes it feel cheap, you probably got a cheap and/or crappy screen protector.
I like Martin Fields and have used Seidio ones as well. ZAGG (I think it is) you can get a Best Buy and other places SUCK. They have a sticky or rather rubber feel to them so your fingers don't glide smoothly and probably are what give people the "cheap" feel. The first two I mentioned feel identical to the glass. You won't even know they're there. I get a new phone once a year and never had more than a scratch or two on the protector only. Peel it off ... brand new phone still.
I figure it also helps against breakage since there is an extra layer of protection reinforcing the structure. Kind of like laminated glass. A friend got a giant gouge in his RAZR. GIANT wound to the screen protector, but it didn't make it through to the glass surface. No cracks or even scratches ... to the glass.

I stopped investing in them. My iPhone 4 was without for a year and no scratches. The protectors had scratches but they aren't as durable as the screen

What the hell are those napkins made of? Dear lord.

Definitely get a screen protector. Get a dry install screen protector that is clear and I guarantee that you won't notice it. I recommend SGP Nano Clear for this phone. It is very easy to install and works very well with cases. The only drawback is that it leaves about 1 mm or so uncovered around the edges, but fortunately this will be covered by most cases.
If you are wondering about getting a screen protector, then get one. You may regret it otherwise.

I got the Steinhill Ultra Crystal. It's a fingerprint magnet, but so it the rest of the phone, feels just like the glass though.

Yes get a screen protector. I highly recommend that you get one. Gorilla glass 2 is not scratch proof. I already scratched my screen and my HTC evo 4g lte screen. :-(

Why would you not get a screen protector for this phone? This is not a cheap phone so do yourself a favor and get you a good screen protector. You touch the screen whenever you use the phone and everytime you touch it, you risk scratching it due to dirt being on your hands. Protect your investment!
Normally I purchase wet application protectors from bestskinsever.com but wet application protectors do not play well with tpu cases for this phone.
I recommend the Reearth dry screen protector. You can find it on Amazon for 11.99 and it includes 2 protectors. It's an awesome protector and you won't even know it's on your phone.

Spectre Tempered Glass Screen Protector

http://www.xgearlive.com/products/android/samsung/spectre
I just wanted to share with everyone that the Spectre Tempered Glass Screen Protector is now shipping.
I've never had this type of screen protector on my phone before, and it's a premium, but I'm even more excited and impressed after seeing their installation video. I'm sooo ready to get this cheapy screen protector off my phone that bubbled up. Hopefully this will be the end all solution to that problem and I'll report back!
Installation Video (Courtesy of pmoradi2002):
Video Review By Droid-Life (thanks eao1991 for the link): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29321835&postcount=31
[Update: 08/07/12]
I received mine today. I posted pictures below. I have a headache and I'm sleepy, so I will post a brief Q&A because I've been reading and I know there are some questions folks have been wondering that I can touch up on w/o a delay and I'll give it to you straight.
Q: How does the home button feel?
A: The home button is notably depressed. It operates as normal. Maybe a little awkward at first, but it's no big deal really. And to those thinking you are going to need to buy a raised home button, or a sticker..or something like that..you folks are going overboard with your imagination...bring it down a notch
Q: How was installation?
A: Very very simple and bar none the easiest screen protector I've ever installed. You see how fast he did it in the install video above. It's just like that. A few seconds and your done .. no waiting for nothing to dry, etc. etc...
Q: How does it fit in a case?
A: I have a clear gel tpu case on mine. My case does *not* fit over the screen protector. The edges are sitting pretty much flush with the top edge of the screen protector. I tried pulling it over, it was a no go. What I found is that this creates stress on the screen protector and caused it to lift at the top. I'll be looking into getting a different case to use with this screen protector. Maybe one that is a two piece, top and bottom section? The adhesive seems to be pretty good though. I was able to take my phone out of the case, push the screen protector back down. And I didn't have the issue for the day that I was using it.
Q: How about those *dots* I've been hearing about on the screen.
A: Bottomline, you'll notice them. When the screen is off or black, they are very visible. When the screen is on and you're holding the phone away..you're probably arn't going to notice so much. When you are holding the phone closer to you..they appear like little pixel crystals sparkling in the background. That's the best way I can explain it. Do I find it to be a deal breaker? Absolutely not..you'll just have to deal with it if you decide you want this screen protector.
Q: But the screen of the Samsung Galaxy S III is curved, and this is a glass screen protector that is straight, how does this affect the way it sits on the phone?
A: This is the biggest non-issue. You won't notice anything irregular here. So let that one go..
Overall, the screen protector looks great, there's no loss of sensitivity. [Perhaps even a better sensitivity then if you had any other type of screen protector on ur phone. It feels great.. after me typing the last 20mins.] I'll play with it for a few days and if there's something else needing to be touched up on I will .. otherwise I'd say it's a good purchase based on my initial impression. I happily took off my *wet* applied screen protector that was creating an eyesore because it was all bubbled up and applied this one.
So there you go!
And Please .. Press the thanks button if I've helped you at all..

That actually looks pretty impressive - My only concern would be having the home button be even more recessed. I'm already not too happy with how much effort it requires to press the home button. I know .4mm isn't much, but it's still less than without the protector.

I know .. me too ... but now that I see it written, versus having it said .. you know .4mm ... that's like next to nothing. But we'll see soon!

Yeah I ordered it one month ago, been rocking a cheapo xtremeguard screen protector waiting

Was it the feel of the glass? Was the image bad? Did it leave air bubbles?
What was wrong with it?

i dont really get this. what if it gets scratched?

I guess the only reason i didn't like it was because it messed with the usage of the S-Pen. Also it made the screen somewhat less responsive and inaccurate at times.

Lol, what's not to get? The whole idea of a screen protector is to protect the glass built into the phone (not easily replaced). If the protector gets scratched, that means it did it's job and should be replaced. At 8h it's far harder than even the most premium plastic screen protectors, and barely more expensive.
Seems promising but, I'll wait for some reviews before I'd seriously consider it.

I paid $27 including tax for a Zagg HD that performs in the $10-$15 protector range. This is $2 or so more delivered. I'm in.

I know itll get scratched, but its glass, when it gets scratched, its there, it will not heal itself like other screen protectors and this is not just those cheap ones that you can just change. And i do use use a screen protector on mine. Im just saying, for that price when it gets scratched, its going to stay there. But i know itll protect the screen underneath, and thats good. But for that price, changing it when it gets brutally scratched is a pain in the ass.

Is it really coming out?? So interested in but not sure how it's gonna adhere the curved edge. I know there are a lot of "curved" screen protector for now, but isn't glass too rigid for making it? If it works fine, I would love to buy one, but it's still risky to invest more than $30 for screen protector.

I think your main point here is really price. All screen protectors can get scratched, and when they do you replace them. This is certainly a "premium" product, and yes you have to pay more. This product certainly should be more scratch resistant than other screen protectors, so in theory you would need to replace it less often. More importantly to me, it is a real glass experience and feel, and should be perfectly clear.
Basically you are paying more for a more durable, clearer, easier to install, high quality screen protector.
Personally I would be interested if the quality is as advertised, I will wait for some ginny pigs to report their findings first though.

Why would this scratch less than other screen protectors? From my experience the GLASS screen tends to scratch easier than a screen protector. A good screen protector rather. So why wouldnt you buy a good screen protector that does not easily scratch vs a piece of glass that would scratch just as easily as the screen plus is more expensive than the other types of screen protectors

The hardness scale goes from 1H to 10H with diamonds being the top dog. This product is marketed as 8H tempered glass meaning only (9-10)H stuff can scratch it. Regular glass is 5.5H.

zagg or not?

So Ive used zagg since I had an iPhone, a Galaxy S3 and now when I get the Nexus, I would like to apply a screen protector to that as well.

I am way more likely to shatter the screen than scratch it, yes. Also it is very important to me to not feel anything on the screen and that the case will be as invisible as possible.

The invisibleshield never had an orangepeel effect. I think that feel belongs to the older versions of Zagg.
Anyway, from my experience I went with Zagg. Just bought the screen protector. If I won't like it I can always ask for a refund, their customer service is amazing. Also, if anything peels off or the installation isn't going smooth they can always replace my screen protector for free.
If I won't like it I'll go with the glas.tr by spigen.
Thanks everyone.

I have a zagg invishield on day of purchase cracking protected action and covers well. I applied and left the phone for 24 hours . I have some spigen too and there now just sat in the box lol.

Why not just get a screen protector from xtremeguard for under $2

I cannot stand the sticky/gummy feel of Zaggs. For that type of protection, I go with Clearplex. Right now, I have a not-quite-faulty Spigen glas.TR on mine while I wait on the replacement Nano glas to come in.

Never really like Zagg, there more pro apple imo. But thats not the reason I dont like them...I hate the orange peal looking and sticky texture I get from there screen protectors!

Ordered a Zagg. They have always done fine by me.

There are cutouts in the picture for the speaker, prox sensor. Although rumor has it that the 3 pack on amazon by Spigen for $15 its just like a flat deal with no cutouts and works fine. Go with what you trust and what you think is right and will work for you.

I don't like Zagg. I used Invisishield on a lumia800 and it had horrendous amounts of orange peel. Also, I was not a fan of the feel because it didn't feel smooth. They are not very forgiving if you are not good at applying them correctly the first time. I RMA'd one because it got some scratch on it and while they did send me the replacement, they said they never received my original protector and charged me the amount for a new invisishield. It's their fault for not providing me with a tracking number on their return packaging that it got lost. I've used dry application screen protectors since and they are visually better looking as well as they feel better.

I find Zaggs texture to be... Weird. I'd go for Skinomi. Smooth and doesn't have the orange peel effect that most wet application screen protectors have

If I play games on my phone, I can't use a Zagg. The sticky gummieness doesn't let my finger slide on the screen, it's tries to skip across instead.

Zagg is garbage in my opinion. I never had one I kept on more than a few days. I in general don't like screen protectors. If I did use one though the only company I liked was clear-coat.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

My only complaint about zagg (and most wet application screen protectors) is that over time, if you were jeans, the screen protector will turn blue. It's easier to notice on a phone with a white front, but it sucks to know that it's happening nevertheless. Be prepared for that if you plan to invest in one of these.

Is there a screenprotect on the Oneplus 2 from factory?

Hi all,
I got my OP2 Yesterday!
I looked on amazon for some accessories. When i looked my phone a bit closer it looks like there already is a screenprotector on the display.
Someone else discovered that?
Thx.

Yep, they started with this with the OPO and carried it on with the 2

Yup, also got me thinking could I just slap a tempered protector over the top and have double protection lol

A number of people have been removing it thinking it's just transportation protection, it is a fingerprint magnet though.

yes
yes it has. and very well applied, that you can not notice it.

Yes, and it was scratched within a couple of days for me. I was gonna replace with the cheapest one I could find, which strangely enough was a tempered glass one form amazon.

I just replaced mine with an Orzly tempered glass SP and I'm quite impressed tbh

Just swapped it for a tempered glass one and the difference is huge, so much smoother and clearer with proper colours being shown. Yellow tinge has gone as well and screen is alot crisper

Thats what I thought too
But I had my tempered glass one ready before getting my OPT so I just installed it right away.

i have buy tempered glass from ebay and now i thinking don't want to install it until original protector is working

Yes OP2 has built in screen guard confirmed by company itself. no need to go for screen guard except if we want tampered screen

When I replaced mine for a tempered glass product the first thing I noticed is the quality difference. If your gonna spend lots of money on a phone then your gonna want to protect the screen. Saying that you can get away with stock screen protector if you have a leather flip case and your careful. I actually only replaced mine today because I purchased a bugdroid case from Amazon which by the way looks awesome. Anyway I hope this helps.

I replaced the original screen protector with a tempered glass one because it was too fingerprint-y. The nice thing is this was the first time that I've been able to apply a screen protector with absolutely no bubbles or dust stuck underneath. Having the original protector on makes it such a clean slate for applying a new one.

It comes with a screen protector on it. Just remove it and get a tempered glass protector it's better

Ya its just a normal plastic one. I kept mine on until my orzly tempered glass came.
