I have been getting a lot of questions as to how the official protector looks and feels. I have uploaded an imgur album full of close up shots. The official protector is hard to see even if you know it is on there. It feels very close to the original glass. I wasted my money on a handful of cheap (and not so cheap) protectors. I don't want others to do the same!

I can attest. I have had it on since Tuesday and looks great and fit great too.
Ordered it last night. I have one of the rubbery ones from Amazon on now. It looks fine but feels terrible. How long did it take to get the tracking info?

Is your current one a wet install protector? I found that's the case most of the time. This one is dry install. I messed up my initial install because I was on a conference call at work and forgot which side was the adhesive side lol. But this protector is smooth. Not tempered glass smooth, but dang close.

It's not officially a wet install, but after having so many bubble issues I figured I try washing it in water. It ended up being a lot easier, but yeah the feel isn't great.

I got this one, I do not work at BestBuy. It is reflective and not soft to touch. Feels and looks just like the glass which is great.
I noticed mine is slightly smaller (maybe 1mm diameter) than the actual screen size. Hardly noticeable.
Most BestBuy have at least one or two of them. Weird because I could not find them online but they were on the shelves.
I'm using the ArmorSuit protector ($8 from Amazon). I like it a lot. Pretty much feels like bare glass and it's not thick enough to be noticed unless you angle the watch and really look for it.
I'm using a Zagg protector. Feels like a standard zagg and looks pretty good. I had them undersize it by about 1mm.

All of the other protectors I bought I could depress my finger nail into them. That is not what i was looking for. The official ones are the only ones so far that have a hard glass like feel. But to each their own.
The spigen one's are available for pre-order on Amazon. They're shipping in 10 days. A bit pricey though. 22 dollars for one. I'm supposed to be receiving the official ones today so hopefully those can hold me off until more affordable glass ones come out.

I'm just worried the tempered ones will sit up too high on the display. Maybe if it's tapered up fro the sides it wouldn't be so bad. I will have to see a close up photo before investing in one.

Are there any protectors out there that retain the bare glass feel? I don't care about finger prints or glare, just don't want any scratches I've fallen in love iwth how smooth the screen is
Yeah, I do have the same question. Digging through the 'Best Brand for screen protectors?' and can not find clear answer.
I even do not care to pay more for the ultra clear and same touch feel.
People, you did bought a lot of different brands. Could you please consolidate the feelings after week(s) of usage, anyone?
I have the PhantomSkinz on my Captivate, and I have a zagg on my zune HD. I also tried a ClearFreak on the Captivate for a week or so before the PhantomSkinz came in. Long story short, phantomskinz is a bit better than zagg, and both of them are much much better than the clearfreak. I wrote up a post comparing the three and posted pics here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7420035&postcount=22

SKINOMI.
Though you can feel the edges of the case protector, the screen protector is beautiful.
It is something like .08mm thick and adheres completely flush. I am a new fan of skinomi and love the picture/screen quality with it.

Hmm I will have to look into that I ordered a Seidio ultra clear last night (2 pack) so maybe I'll do a comparison
I use Realook on mine. It smudges up pretty bad but when its clean it looks fantastic. There is no adhesive so you can pull it up pretty easily and you get the standard two in a pack. The camera lens cover is a bit of a pain, the thing is so small its hard to keep fingerprints off the back side when putting it on but I got it on in the end.
Sorry to go off topic but did anyone purchase the screen protector from Samsung directly?

That's a good question. It sounds overpriced if you need only one kind, e.g. clear transparent. But if it's great it may worth it to buy. I would like to get a feedback.
I just got my two realook screens today. They do smudge easily but its not any worse then without the protector. It went on easily and I have one small bubble on the upper left corner which I am sure will go away in a day. Overall I am very happy with it, and for $11 for two shipped to my house, I couldn't pass it up.

How do they feel compared to the stock glass screen?
I had an Invisible Sheild full body skin...didn't like it. It wasn't super clear and was a little sticky, I just swapped my phone at AT&T today and they talked me into the screen covers they sell, I guess its new? 3 for $10, so far I like it 100x better than invisible shield, much clearer and closer to the glass feel!
Just got my Seidio protectors in yesterday They were really easy to install and left zero bubbles that were hard to remove. The clarity is awesome - I can't tell that there's a protector installed by looking at it. The surface does seem a bit less smooth than the glass, but I can live with it!

I bought two Skinomi's from Amazon (thinking I might screw up first installation). sure enough, I did screw it up first time, leaving big bubbles. But the second try went down perfectly (you gotta be very careful not to let fluid get into edges of phone during installation).
But ... in the end I found it felt like too much drag when swiping the screen compared to the naked screen. Difficult decision - I'll be really pee'd off if I scratch it, but I'm going naked for now - I'm just gonna be super careful.
I picked up some of the Skinguardz and they definitely have a rubbery feel.
I ordered SGP. Will let you know how it works when it will be delivered.

That is what I got at my local ATT store. They are alright, but at least they are super clear.
Apparently Martin Fields now has Captivate protectors in stock too. I've never used them personally, but I've read a lot a reviews that people swear by them -- a bit pricey though.

Just passing along the info.
Just got the realook protector from amazon in today and replaced the gadgetguard I was never satisfied with. Can't believe the difference- looks and feels like nothings there. And the install was leagues easier and foolproof.

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.

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.

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.
So I've been looking at the screen protector threads around here, and while people have been pointing out good deals, and bad ones, I've yet to see anyone really comment about the "Feel" of their screen protector.
Long story short: I HATE the Zagg I have on my Evo 3D. Playing Fruit Ninja and the likes on it is impossible unless I want to coat my screen in butter so it's more slick. A few rounds and I feel like I'm going to burn my fingertips off! Hate, hate, hate. That's all I feel for Zagg. Anyway, I'm planning on leaving the phone naked (No case) with just the screen protector on, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good screen protector that will fit the bill?
I had a Sprint branded screen protector for my original Evo 4G, and it was perfect! It was as smooth as the glass, fit well, and I could hardly see it unless I looked at an angle, so maybe they'll have one at my sprint store on release day. (Albeit at a 50000% markup. Ew...) But I'd rather not spend 40$ on a piece of plastic. Lol.
Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks for the replies everyone. Gonna go with the Ultra Crystal, sounds like what I want. Reviews on the Flex make it sound like the Zagg, with the wet application and the loss of smoothness on the protector.

Spigen/SGP said that they won't be making the Glas t glass screen protector for the galaxy s3 because of its curved screen. A shame, but understandable.
Makes me wonder how xgearlive are going to manufacture a glass screen protector with a decent fit.
It won't be able to go to the edge, not as it's curved.
hopefully xgearlive will offer a discount for s3 users, the gnexus has USD 5 off.
So extremeguard recently came out with their new tempered glass priced at $40 http://www.xtremeguard.com/LG-Google-Nexus-5-Screen-Protectors-p/lg-nexus-5-screen-protector.htm
If you use coupon code HUGE90OFF2 when you buy two or more it will be 90% off, so two screen protectors worth $80 will come down to $8 what a good price! Even if i don't own a nexus 5 just wanted to share with you guys ^^
Out of stock still.
Out of stock and also not by Xtremeguard. $39.99 before "discount"? That's a joke.
If you're in the US you can buy it for $6.99 all the time off of ebay. Yes, slightly more expensive than their 90% off group of 2, but just shows you the ridiculous price Xtremeguard is normally charging for a product that isn't even theirs.

Did yours come in a generic iphone packaging? I was really confused. I thought they sent me the wrong product. I opened it and it does look like it's supposed to but it was just really weird.
Also, if anyone tried, how easy is it to peel off?
I'm using the xtremeguard one right now. Obviously didn't pay 40 bucks for it. Honestly it's my favorite accessory for my phone. The glass feels a bit beveled and it reminds me if the edged on the nexus 4, how they used to be so smooth. I'm sure all the tempered glass protectors feel like this but this is the one I have.

Hmm, interesting. The packaging was completely different for me. Yours looks like the actual packaging from the ebay page. Mine Also says USA126 on it, but it's some generic packaging with an iphone on the front. However, inside everything looks the same as what you got. The pad, protector, cloth, and that same blue sticker. I put on the protector yesterday and so far I do like it a lot. Also, I'm not sure if the sticker was meant for this, but instead of wiping it down with the alcohol pad, I used the sticker to pick up all of the dust before applying the protector and it worked extremely well.
Still out of stock. Might hit up that ebay screen protector.
Does the eBay protector cover side to side or is it rounded off the corners so cases don't pick it up. How's the adhesive on it? Any webbing? Does it stick fully? These eBay protectors aren't always the best. How about the oleophobic coating?

The edges appear to be rounded, they haven't picked up at all with my case. The adhesive is great, no webbing, and it adhered fully. I cleaned the phone VERY well, took off the backing from the screen protector, and gently placed it on the phone. I was surprised that I didn't have to press hard to make it seal, or do the binder clip thing that other people have talked about. I'm very happy with mine, and for $6 it's the best screen protector I have ever bought.
This makes me wish I hadn't bought my full price spigen glasTr. There's no way it's 4 times as good as this.
So far I'm happy with the 6 dollar one I bought. It came in wrong packaging, but the product itself seems fine. I use the nexus 4 replica case and it fits very well. I think I had a bit of spiderwebbing but I pressed on it with my finger and it went away. I did notice a very tiny speck of dust I must have must underneath but its not always visible even though I know where it is. There's seems to be a very small scratch on the bottom and top corner. I'm not sure if that's something underneath but again, it's hardly visible and it's not on the screen part so I don't mind.

It's not bad, I've only had it since May but so far no chips and fits great with both the slim armor and the acase superleggra . Fingerprints do show but they are easy to clean. I forget it's there, it's a ton better than any plastic screen protector and spigens customer support is great. When I installed the first one a corner didn't adhere, not sure if it was my fault but spigen sent me a new one free of charge.

Wow It was really kind of then to send you a replacement for free! Is the GLAS.tR case friendly? I've already ordered a Spigen Ultra Fit case from eBay, and it's on the way, I just wanna make sure that it's going to fit properly.

So extremeguard recently came out with their new tempered glass priced at $40 http://www.xtremeguard.com/LG-Google-Nexus-5-Screen-Protectors-p/lg-nexus-5-screen-protector.htm
If you use coupon code HUGE90OFF2 when you buy two or more it will be 90% off, so two screen protectors worth $80 will come down to $8 what a good price! Even if i don't own a nexus 5 just wanted to share with you guys ^^

They now have them back in stock and you can use code Summer85 to get 85% off.
This brings it down to 6.00
Just used Mega90off2 and works! You need to add two items in the cart. I put in a dry install screen protector 5.99 and the spartan for 49.99. With 90% off, the order came to 5.60 shipped. For a screen protector AND tempered glass protector. Even if the tempered glass sucks like most do, I have a screen protector as back up lol.
Looks like screen protectors are popping up on amazon, but nothing with prime yet.
Does anyone have experience with any of the brands available?
Query: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=is_pp_2?rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3A"smartwatch+3"&keywords="smartwatch+3"
Or short version: http://goo.gl/aeMDgU
I'm wondering if one of those glass protectors might be a good option for this sort of device. Anyone scratched their screen yet? I'm sure it's an eventuality.

I have one on my Nexus 5, I feel like it would stick up way too much and just get destroyed.
I've used both pet and tpu protectors for years and never had problems with good brands including keeping phone with keys in the pocket.
So, I pulled the trigger and ordered Xinomi 6 pack, at least that's the name I heard of and for protectors they got consistent 4+ stars at amazon, will let you know once they arrive.

Did you received the Skinomi screen protector? How do you like them?
Yes, just got it installed last night.
In nutshell they are OK, easy installation (cause you can reposition while it is wet and screen is small), good clarity and OK feel, not too rubbery. Have no idea if they how good they are at protecting the screen tho, never used them before.
OK, noticed only outside, but looks like it makes screen more glossy look, not extremely bad, but noticeable a bit
Got a package too

I ordered a package too. At least I will have the Smartwatch 3 protected until a better screen protector will become available. Thanks for the update. I should have the watch by Monday.
Does anyone have a good screen protector available in the Netherlands? Skinomi is not shipping to the Netherlands not even from Amazon.co.uk

I got the cheap (like 3$) xgaurds or whatever from ebay - the 6 pack or 1 pack is from the same vendor, the 1 pack is wet, the other is dry application. Works great, it is a wet application and doesnt mess with the sensors.
I am usually terrible at putting these on as I have no patience, but I only have one pin like size buble on the upper edge which is not even noticeable. I dont notice a difference in the tactile feedback

Do you have the wet or dry application? If you have both, which do you prefer and are they okay?
Last question: can you please give us the link or exact name?
Thanks!

Sure...the wet one is "ExtremeGaurd" while the Dry is "EZGaurd". I didnt know one was wet, maybe because it was so cheap so I thought "what the hell", but I always go wet if possible.
I like the wet better as you can iron out the bubbles and i find it more idiot proof (especially with this watch) since you put the soapy water all over your hands and watch without any worry since its waterproof. That means no fingerprints and a pretty good adherence.
For 3$ and like 5 day shipping, give it a shot...at least you didnt waste much money!
