I just got a SGN and I want a wet applied screen protector.. I read through many forums and I came down to the ghost armor and XO.. I have a zagg on 2 of my devices and I don't mind them but I heard zagg is cap and those two other screen protectors are better? Which should I take out of those screen protectors? Thank you so much!
I have ghost armor, and its great

I have the XO screen protector and it's the best one i've tried so far. Havent tried ghost armor so i cant say but i would get xo on all my other devices moving forward
Using ghost armor right now. It feels and looks really good.
It's great to know that both are great but I want to know which is better.... Did anyone use both screen protector?
I'd also like to know this, as I will be purchasing a screen protector soon as well, and I don't want to have to go with the traditional screen protectors which both take away from the beauty of the screen as well as change the texture of the screen.

I'm using xo and love it! Sold on them for life. Perfect protector.

Was waiting for Ghost Armor to have a kiosk apply it but ordered the XO, I am VERY happy with this screen protector. Unlike all clear dry apply protectors I've used this hardly shows fingerprints at all unless i have something on my hands, clarity is perfect. It does take a few days for it to be totally bubble free which might make you worried but its not bothersome if you know its going away. I followed the directions and removed the battery for install and left it overnight, I made the mistake of putting on my case that morning and it slightly lifted an edge by the volume keys and it looks like a spec of dust got under it. It's not on the visible part of the screen itself so not an issue. I would use XO skins again without any hesitation.

Yes, in fact I switched from an XO skin to a Ghost Armor on my GNex, but I did it only because of the case I was using was de-laminating the XO skin off the screen. IMHO, Ghost Armor skins have a better hold on the screen so if you're using a higher coverage case (like the case-mate tough-mate), it seems to hold better and give a better overall result with very little orange peel. If you're not, the XO skin works great and seems to give a "cleaner" result with practically no orange peel.
The Ghost Armor is actually my 5th skin on this phone... I've gone through Zagg, Skinomi, BestSkinsEver, XO skin and Ghost Armor, and none of them were perfect. The Zagg peeled within 2 days and just never looked right. The skinomi and BSE weren't much better for peeling but were atleast clearer, especially the BSE. The XO skin was the clearest of the bunch and held better than the others, but after ~1.5 weeks started getting little bubbles along the side and POW, peeled in a corner and never looked right again. Now I'm on to Ghost Armor, had them trim the edges a bit before they installed it and haven't had a problem in ~2weeks. It's not quite as clear as the XO skin or the BSE, but it's not really too bad at all (ALOT nicer than the Zagg) and it's staying put so far...
Agree that Ghost Armor is the best of the bunch

i had a ghost armor screen protector on my droid x and had to remove it because when i looked at it with polarized sunglasses on i could barely see it, it was just a rainbowed mess. this is not the case with the xo protector.
might be something you want to look into.
Does anyone know how either one of these guys stack up against the SGP Flex?
Xo skins is better
The xo skin felt much less rubbery and was far less tacky. I didn't apply mine right so I'm using ghost armor right now. Because the xo skin is thinner it's much more responsive. The cut for the galaxy nexus was better on the xo skin as well.
I have the ghost armor on my phone for 5 months note and works well. It's smooth and doesn't not have a lot if orange peel effect.

I have xo, I think some months now.. almost 4.. well, is pretty good, but after some weeks I star to notice some like blister, whitout air inside, is strange.. and I never really lost the orange skin effect... I don't looking for a different one because I think is a really protective skin and I like the sensation when I touch it, but compare the price should be better..
Does the ghost Armor cover the entire screen or does it have a gap around the edge.

XO Skins has a regular fit http://xoskins.com/cell-phone-skin-...tectors/samsung-galaxy-nexus-screen-protector and a case fit version http://xoskins.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-screen-protector-case-fit
The case fit ones are smaller and have a gap around the edges. Initially I used the regular fit and then got a case fit when I swapped cases. I have a review I did of their with pics as well as a bunch of other folks. They are the best imo. But out of the two brands XO Skins and Ghost Armor are easily the higher quality brands. Most others that I have must resell cheap chinese stuff from alibaba.com The XO doesnt have orange peel and hides finger prints very well. Hang on to the spray bottle cus you can use that to clean your phone later.
I tried to order XO Skins, but I think they don't ship to my country... (Serbia)
Is there some online retailer that ships?
stretched than you very much for that response. When the BSE eventually starts to peel i will try the XO.
Hey guys I'm looking if there's a screen protector that covers just the screen. I'm looking to order a matte black decal to cover the front of the phone around the screen to match my black UAG case (favorite case so far btw, its amazing!!! If you havent tried it your really should. 8th case is the charm? Lol). But right now I have the spigen curved screen protector on and I still want one when I put the from decal on just wondering what you guys would recommend. I'm a little hesitant to put a screen protector over the skin or vice versa. Or is there any skins that include a screen protector??
PS the curved screen protector works awesome with this case. You can't even tell there's one on there and there is no bubbling or edges being pushed up. I will post more about this in the UAG case forum when I get a chance to get some pics and stuff.

Best I can think of would be getting a universal screen protector. Downfall is they aren't going to be as good as the name brand protectors, but pretty much like the cheap generic china made protectors you get off of ebay.
Upside is they usually come with multiple (3-5) sheets that you can cut out your self. Otherwise I was unable to find exactly what your looking for (nor heard of any). Maybe someone else has though, wait and see.

im using the red one right now ill post pics if you want to see
I got mine when I get the Capdase Silicone Case. They are bundled all together. I got it here:
http://www.smartphonebay.net/Silicone-Case-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-p/sc-ssi9300rd.htm
Putting this thread together to see what different skins are out and to see what they look like in real life. Also in case people fancy a change like I will soon.
Here's mine just standard black carbon effect. (Cheap from ebay just under £5). My screen protector is getting scratched so thinking on changing skin along with the protector.
What are people wearing? (Lol)
Nice one
My banged-up-after-a-year Nexus 5 (called Daniel 5) wears no screen protector or skin. He has a cheap S-line transparent TPU case with a Chevy logo sticker over the "Nexus" lettering.
Hi guys,
Bought this case from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Caseology-Lea...=1425782635&sr=8-2&keywords=caseology+nexus+5
8.99 USD and I have to say that I really like the feel and the look.
Only think that worries me is that all the buttons aren't protected, but I suppose it's an adquired taste hehe.
Cutouts are excelent, check the pictures.
Problem I am getting now is that the case pushes the edge of the screen protector, it's really a shame. That didn't happened using Spigen and Diztronic cases . Any DIY solution?
Screen protector is Spigen.
Best regards.
I got HTC one m7 screen protectors and lined it up under the ear speaker..works great.lol. I don't like full screen protectors to begin with tho.

Has anyone found one that works with 3T? I just received my TruSheild Ultra Clear and it's a joke. I need to find another one that actually fits.

Ordered from American Amazon lol. Thanks for the heads up. Think I saw this one before but was weirded out by the blacked out top and bottom. Just want a decent Protector.
I have a similar protector to that orzley, black rim too, but sports a different brand.
It's what it you think, glass surface, covers the front of the phone, leaves just enough for a case. The only problem or non problem depending on how you look at it, is if you line up the home button with the top speaker and front camera, then it partially covers up the navigation buttons, and completely covers up the notification LED. I typically have these turned off anyway, but it bothers me a little that the cutouts aren't exact. If someone can tell me they are, then I'll buy me some as well.
Let us know how the orzly v2 protector is like, as I have heard it's the best out there for 3/3t
Orzly v2. Great screen protector. You can see the diference!
I got the one from OnePlus.

In a lot of revies people mention a rainbow effect with the v2, because the glue is only on the side of the tempered glass.
Do you have that issue as well?
No. The only think is the dot matrix in direct sunlight but i can leave with that
Have found the exact same problem from a few manufacturers.
Here is a quick image of one that I took, I believe this is an iTec 9H.
Not sure if you can see but it is laid over the top of the one that comes on the 1+3T as default.

Can anyone confirm if the Orzly v2 will fit/play nice with a Rhinoshield bumper?
I'm using the Orzly v2. It's the closest you will get to a perfect full screen tempered glass with no lift when using a case or changing cases. Yes it has dot matrix in certain angles, and the rainbow effect is very minimal. It's a lot better than the other ones I tried.
@charlieb620 Thanks, just received mine today. I can confirm that the fit is most excellent on phone and works well with Ringke Fusion Clear. I will also say that the rainbow effect is present and most visible with screen off. It is basically where I would swipe when browsing and swiping up and down(right side centerish) Seems like its a patch of Glass not sticking and swirls when I press down on it.
Am I the only one who hates screen protectors, which don't stick entirely?
It makes the screen look really really bad. Is there no screen protector, which doesn't have black bars, has epoxy all around and doesn't feature huge gaps on the sides?
To delete, tk

Does it have a dot matrix and rainbow effect?
Whats the side profile like?
I have a protector that looks similar, however somehow dust has managed to find itself under the screen, well after it was perfectly applied. I was a fool to remove the protector that came standard with the 3T
