Hello all,
I am writing in from Mumbai, India. After having tried several screen protectors I am not happy with any. I am currently using a Chinese unbranded one which is decent in the sense that it stays put alright but it does nothing to keep fingerprints away. The screen if oily / fingerprinted all the time. Really kills the display. Just came across Samsung's original screen protector on their UK website. Has anyone tried it? I specifically wanted to know if it has catches lesser fingerprints. I have someone in UK who is coming here. If its good, I can order it.
Their website also has a glass screen protector which will probably have adhesive only on the sides so don't want to get into it. Just let me know the review of the regular protector.
many thanks,
meeejay

Hi! I just purchased a Galaxy Nexus from eBay and was wondering if I needed a Screen Protector. Does the screen get scratched easily or is it resistant to scratches (like SGS II) ?
Also anyone has dropped this phone and broke it ? (Dont know if I need a case)
depends on how risk averse you are.
Yes, there have been some cases (on here if you search about) where people have managed to scratch the screen.
I'd recommend getting a screen protector just to be on the safe side.
Thanks Just curious does the phone come with a screen prtector with it or should I purchase one ?
You must purchase one separately.
Check out the Accessories sub forum if you need help deciding which is best for you.
I use XO Skins and I couldn't be happier with it!!
I've had a screen protector on my nexus since I first got it from expansys in the mail. Somehow I have managed to hairline scratch the screen anyway there is only one small scratch I think it might have been in the application of my Zagg screen protector there was a tiny bit of something in between the screen protector and the screen and it caused the scratch, you can only see it if there is no protector on the screen and you hold it up to the light just right. In any case I would recommend a screen protector of some kind, it's frustrating to have your screen scratched up. I've had iphones and android devices with gorilla glass and I have had these minor surface scratches on all of them, get a screen protector it's worth it.
Thanks I have decided to get a screen protector...still not sure about the case.
Regarding a custom rom, any recommendations to which ones are the best ? (Didnt want to create another thread just for this)
Thanks

I am currently using AOKP13, make sure you install the correct one for your device (I suppose you have a GSM device since you are in Malta):
AOKP13 for GSM: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11455-rom-android-open-kang-project-maguro-build-13/
AOKP13 for CDMA: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/12451-rom-android-open-kang-project-toro-build-13/
and this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367341
And I am very very pleased with the performance and battery life.
However there are many ROMs and kernels to choose from, all with different opinions so you may need to try out a few before settling down
I have the Case Mate barely there case and I love it. I have trued many of the Roms and I absolutely love IML74K 4.0.3 Build 6. Its the closest to stock and is insanely fast. I install 3m rock guard (durashield) at work on cars. I use a Roland 64" vinyl cutter and I was wondering if anyone had access to a database for phones so I don't have to cut free hand. Please let me know and if someone can supply me with designs then I will be more than happy to give you some 3m cutouts for you phone(s). Cheers!

stay away from xo skins...junk! I installed one the way the directions said, screen had all kinds of little tiny bubble in spots that would not come out with the squegee. Not to mention it scuffs really easy. Worst 13.00 I ever spent!
I just ordered the screen protector too late it appears. Despite babying this phone like no othr i have acquired a very slight small hairline scratch. Somerhing i managed to never do for 2 years on my Droid Eris. The screen is very sensitive to scratches despite what some would show you online with a set of keys.
Founf these of Play.com .... anyone tried them ?

I dont want any rubbery feeling on the screen or orange peel effect so I am not really sure which one to choose :/
YES, I did see the threads pop up right after I typed the title for this one to tell me there has been many before, but, this one is a little different. I just want to know from people who are in India and have Nexus, which screen guard/protector are they using, which good ones are available here and from where.
As the phone hasn't launched here officially, most of the shops here don't really have screen guards for it. So after lots of searching, I ended up buying Amzer Matte screen guard from Flipkart. How is it? Well, kind of small for the screen and the matte finish really REALLY destroys the essence of the AMOLED screen, imo! But, it'll do for the time being I don't find a good one, given how cheap it is.
I have seen my friends with Samsung S3 having CRYSTAL CLEAR, SMOOTH screen guards just so it'll take you a while to even notice that there screen is not naked. Are any of those 'crystal clear' guards available here (preferably dry ones)? Or can I order them online?
Any help is appreciated :fingers-crossed:
Dear fellow 5T owners. I have had a bit of a saga with getting a glass screen protector fitted. I've been to three o2 stores in the UK that sell the phone and the official oneplus screen protector and at three stores they have stuffed up the screen protectors either with dust/bubbles/hair and i've spent hours trying to find a store that can actually fit one right. Anyone have any advice on anyone in the area who can _actually_ do it without ruining it?

Just curious, how much are these places charging/are you spending each time?
This isn't a reply that will answer your question as such, but I've had a bit of a saga with screen protection generally. I've finally (possibly) settled with am Invisible Shield high quality plastic film screen protector, as I just wasn't happy with glass ones. For me, yes they sound good in theory and look nice, but the highly reflective surface and loss of the beauty of the AMOLED screen put me off them. Not to mention the rainbow effect I had.
So my reason to respond really was just to throw it out there, have you considered a non glass protector? As I applied mine myself (a wet installation) in my bathroom full of steam from the hot shower and it's applied perfectly. It is even compatible with my case, though this was a cheaper case comparable to the Spigen Rugged Armour case, but unfortunately with that one it started to lift up at the edges a bit.
I am SO tempted just to go 'naked' though though I do like having this extra protection. My previous phone was the Galaxy S8 which only had 1 small light scratch from my cat walking on it, other than that I treat it well and I didn't feel the need for a screen protector.
Apologies again for not actually assisting with your question, though wanted to discuss the topic at the very least...
Hi guys, I bought a RN5 Global recently and just got my screen protector glas from Amazon.de. Im pretty disappointed with it. Only the black frame sticks to the phone and not the whole display. It has small dots all over the glas which you can see on sunlight. Colors look washed out and the glas is smearing like crazy compared to the default screen. You have to clean it all the time, even with clean hands or you wont be able to see anything anymore in sunlight.
I was hoping someone here can give me a recommendation for a very good screen protector without any of these issues that fits properly. The shop should also be able to deliver to Germany.
i got it from a local store for like $18, full coverage and so far so good and its a bit tinted somewhat that makes viewing at sunlight more tolerable to read than without it. if u want i can get it for u and shipped it to germany,
Get the official one from xiaomi its cheap ($2)
Its plastic but saves the screen from day to day scratches and you wont be needing glass protector for shatters because if you drop your phone both get damaged anyway.
Xiaomi sells 2 or 3 screen protectors in one package ($2) and it sticks really well.
Has anyone been able to purchase the stock original screen protector that came with the phone? I swear I saw it briefly on Samsung Canada site under accessories page but it's no where to be found now.
Stock protector feels so smooth once you applied a oleophobic coating on it! Not to mention perfect fitment for the phone.

Does UK, US or other country Samsung sells the stock protector?
Thanks

I believe they're 18.99 for Samsung UK (ET-FG975CTEGWW). Samsung US has a supply of them, but they are not accessible via sales.
It is 19.99 here in the States.
I was able to purchase one but not going to get it shipped till 4/5.

Got myself a Gadgetshieldz screen guard for the S10+ when I ordered my skin from them. It’s a self healing one and no scratches till now and most importantly it works fine with the fingerprint scanner. This one looks much better than the actual Pre-installed Samsung screen guard. The screen and guard cost me only around 10$ including shipping.

To each his own I guess, I hate self healing skins as they have a orange peel finish and it drags/not smooth. The Samsung original one is PET material, not as smooth as glass but much better than self healing protector.

I'm using the screen protector for a while, No orange peel effect. And it is not a glass protector, It's a plastic protector as you know it's more smooth than glass.

How do you apply the oleophovic coat? Where can I find it?
You get 2 protectors (3-5 would've been nice) and they are made in Korea just like the phone. The packaging mentions shock protection, dunno how valid that statement is!
Otao Screen Protector for S10 Plus
I always liked the GLASS Otao Screen Protectors so I thought I would try the plastic one when it came out on Amazon. To Be honest, I was very pleasantly surprised.
Easy to install (Dry install and not wet) and there were no bubbles or any issue after I installed. I have been using it with a Case (Ringe Crystal Fusion) for about a week and I am very happy with it. Fingerprints work fine with it.

I peeled off my screen protector, the fingerprint is instant now. And the feel is much better.

Do these have the same cutout for the front camera or is the whole corner cutout?
Saw someone say that the whole corner was cutout.
It is the whole corner cutout.

I've been using these for the last 3 devices. No issues. On my S10+ the top keeps trying to lift. I'm on my 4th one now and about to give up. They install perfect reach time but after a few days you can see it starting to lift near the top bezel. No case touching it. Anyone else having these issues?

I have the same issue without a case as well. If you look closely you'll see that there is still a thin strip of adhesive keeping it dust tight but still lifting around the edges.
Are there any dry application screen protectors that cover the entire screen like Samsung protector? Those case friendly protectors look weird since they leave margins on the display

Same here, i have been using them since Galaxy S8+, never had any issues, once fitted it stayed good until damaged or removed. Now for S10+ i've had 3 replacements under warranty as it is lifting up or peeling of as they call it, and it is not even close to the edge, i have another replacement waiting to be fitted so i will try to put more glue maybe? as it looks like there is just about in the tube, I am so tempted to remove it and have just natural screen without any protectors but it is an expensive phone
