Steinheil Ultra Fine

Does anyone have this. I am currently looking to get a better screen protector than the one that I got from verizon and this looks like a good option.
So does anyone have any experience with this type of screen protector and any pros and cons about it?

Assuming you're getting this for anti-fingerprint purposes, the SGP Ultra fine will do you wonders. It does prevent fingerprints from getting on to the screen. However, it slightly compromises the display a little. You will see little artifacts from the light of the display going through the screen protector, since there are layers in there used for the anti-fingerprint.
Don't get this if you want ultra clear display, or if you don't care much about having fingerprints. If you want ultra clear, try their Ultra Crystal Clear.

I've been using it so far for about 2 weeks.. Amazing for anti-fingerprint purposes..
One of the best screen protectors I have ever had..
Definitely recommended..

I've had the ultra fine for about a week and so far it's great. The clarity of the screen is definitely compromised, but you don't notice it after a bit. One of the best things is your fingers don't drag/catch like they can on naked glass or crystal style protectors. It just sort of glides across the surface.

what do you guys think about the anti-glare on this screen protector?

I have ultra fine and i like it, but there is alot of glare outdoors, but it does its job, i see no fingerprints on the screen.
as Purgatoiry said you definitely slide across the screen with this screen guard.

huh, it is supposed to be anti glare...

Dunno what to say, because of the matte finish, when the sun is on it its hard to see.
just my 2c of course, and even with the glare, i still wont use any other screen protector.

Wouldn't use anything besides a Steinheil.

I had one of the earlier anti-fingerprint protectors on my incredible and I noticed the same thing. I think the problem is that the sunlight gets diffused in the screen which makes it hard to see through the glare.

Is the Crystal Clear smooth like the anti print one?

Crystal Clear is like glass. It's probably the best option if you want to protect your screen but want to make it feel like nothing is there. I have one on mine and people, who play with my phone, don't realize there's a protector on it until they see the seam for the protector.

[Q] Screen Protector, which one?

Dear,
Can anyone recomend me a good screen protector because I have bought glossy one and I am not satisfied - to much reflection and fingers on screen.
Now, I am thinking about matte screen protector, can you give opinions about this one, I have heard that with this screen is not so sensitive, it is true?
Thank you regards

I have matte as well, works like a charm

Thank you for help I have decided to buy a mat one, because now I have too much fingerprints.

I've been using ZAGG screen protectors (wet application) with my devices and I've never gone back. They're glossy, but I can live with it because a wet application allows you to apply the screen protector flawlessly without any air bubbles every time.

I use ZAGG screen protectors as well. The wet application method really does work wonders to ensure there are no air bubbles or slip ups in the installation. The ZAGG screen protectors are also somewhat rubbery, so they actually PREVENT scratches, not just protect the screen in case they happen. Plus, if something does happen to them, you can just log on and request a warranty replacement for just the cost of shipping (~3.99) and receive a brand new one. I am thoroughly satisfied with ZAGG screen protectors and use them on ALL of my devices.

Anti Fingerprint Screen Protector?

Hi guys,
i have been searching around for anti fingerprint screen protector but all the one i've found are like £2-3 which i dont think is good quality. any recommendation?
cheers

I got this one, and I'm very impressed so far:
http://dx-box.com/benks-hsr-fingerprint-proof-film-for-htc-one-m7-protector.html

You could try a glass screen protector although they are expensive they don't take away any of the feel like plastic protectors do. I have recently moved to the Spigen Glass one and it rarely needs cleaning. Whilst with my old plastic protector i used to be seen wiping my phone on my sleeve several times a day!

I've been using on from Citigeeks, and i've found them to be pretty great, their anti-glare is kind of in between a completely glossy one and a matte protector, it still repels fingerprints but the rainbow effect/pixellation effect is not as bad. Nevertheless, screen degradation is still very noticeable compared to a glossy protector.

I've used anti glare on my iPhone once, though it wasnt this brand. One problem with matte finish ( anti-glare means matte finish) is that it may somewhat distort the viewing ability of the screen, and isn't as clear as a glossy screen protector, and also scratch a little easily (atleast the one I had scratched easily!)
As for privacy, it almost blacks out the screen from the side, and the viewing angle is very tight, so that will work well!

Thanks for your feedback. I have ordered one, I'll give you my feedback !

What screen protector doesn't suck?

These new tempered glass protectors with the black surround adhesive are terrible. Poor touch sensitivity and a weird hollow feel/sound because they don't actually sit flat on the screen. Are there any non-adhesive tempered glass protectors that are worth looking into? Amazon reviews are spotty. for every brand and every type of protector for the G8.

Sticky surround and leaves an air gap between the screen and protector. Also, 50% of the reviews are poor.

The air gap doesn't annoy you? And the loss of touch sensitivity?

Tried that and it still doesn't feel right.
I'm thinking of trying a film protector like Ringke. I've also got all these on the way:

Post how they turn out maybe I'll try them in the future

Tried this 32nd Extra Armoured Tempered Glass Screen Protector which is equivalent to the GPEL and seems to be alright but the adhesive isn't great I managed to move the screen protector out of position by a little force. Probably may to consider ones with full adhesive...

Used these on my wifes pixel 2 and they are great. You get a free one if it breaks.
My new g8 has one. it comes with a jig to be sure it lines up perfect. curves on the edges and extremely good fit. No issue with the case.

Gonna try after I run through my 2 gpels lol just put one on should be good unless I drop it awkwardly then it's on to the 2nd one

Using the LK film protector I linked earlier. Goes on like the ringke film, using multiple steps and doing 1/2 at a time. Feel is good. A little stickier than a tempered glass protector, but it's solid on the screen. No air gap. I think it might be interfering with the crystal sound display a bit. Volume seems a little lower now.

I have several of the Ringke stocked up, they have a great installation process. I personally enjoy the film (dry application) protectors more than glass as they have a much slimmer profile. The downside is that they offer little impact protection and can be imprinted, but they're cheap enough that I just keep a few around and change them as needed.

This was the only full-adhesive glass protector I could find. DON'T buy it! I left pics in my Amazon review showing why: Our screen glass curves before the pixels end. The only way to have a flat piece of glass stick to the whole screen is to cut it smaller than the visible screen edges. This one hangs off the sides by 3mm, rendering the edges useless.
[2 Pack] LG G8 ThinQ Screen... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NZZ6YGY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I've just ordered the only one I could find that claims to be smaller than the screen area, but the description still makes it a bit tough to know what to expect.
https://www.amazon.com/Compatible-Protector-Coverage-Tempered-Adhesive/dp/B07QJ41M2H
Update: DON'T BUY THESE. This one is even worse, as it's way too tall. Again, the scroll bars don't work because you can't touch them. Total trash.
Unfortunately, unless they make one with genuinely curved glass that follows the screen, there won't be a useful full-adhesive protector for our phone. It looks like every glass protector is flat. They advertise rounded edges, but are still flat glass. If you don't believe me, please look at the pictures I've left in the Amazon reviews. These should never have been made.

Tempered glass is used to protect the screen from scratches and also Protect direct damage of the screen. any branded Tempered Glass is famous with their Hard surface and smooth working. I always prefer Casper Tempered Glass and Whitestone dome Glass.

Add this one to the list of screen protectors that don't work. It won't lay flat on the sides. Long air gaps up/down both sides.
Here's the item description on Amazon. I can't post links yet.

Full Body Skin
You may want to think about giving the Skinomi Full Body Skin a try. I wouldn't say that it feels as smooth as a glass protector, but it does wonders at protecting the back of the phone. It also keeps it from slipping off of surfaces and easier to hold! Very nice for those times when you don't want to wear a case. The back protector doesn't interfere with any cases, and the front protector covers the entire screen of the device. Skinomi's warranty is pretty legit too.
I've used it on my Nexus 4, v30 and now the G8.

I'm using an AILUN screen protector with a SPIGEN TOUGH ARMOUR case and they fit and work perfectly together. Got them both off EBay.

I was wondering if screen protectors might dull the sound, since the screen itself is a speaker.

I just placed the wet install IQ Shield on my new G8. I haven't even turned it on yet as I'm in a contract on a stupid Note 9,but I like them on my last 4 devices.
