I'm getting the phone soon, and I want an anti-glare one. I looked on ebay and can't find any.
*edit* I realized I didn't even ask anything. Can anyone point me to a website where I can buy an anti-glare screen protector?
Boxwave, AT&T, and Skinomi all have anti-glare screen protectors. I'm sure there are more but those are the ones I know off the top of my head.
SGP's Steinheil Ultra Fine Film (available directly from the SGP Store site) is another option.

I live in Canada, so the AT&T one is not an option, I tried skinomi, but I didn't see an anti-glare one, can you link me to one directly?
I'll try boxwave now.

Holy ****, they do have it but it's $15 for only two of them.
I found these on Amazon, can anyone verify if they're any good:

I'll be going with the SGP, I used it on all 4 iPhone and 1 Motorola Droid. They are awesome screen protectors.
I'll probably purchase from their ebay store.

haha, it's ok, I live in Canada, the closest ATT to me is one in Seattle (if there is one there), and that's two hours away.
I'm not gonna get one from ATT. However, I need to know if those ones from Amazon I posted will do.
I didn't know they had one yet. Good deal, supposed to be the best.

I HATE the anti-glare screen protector but it was the only thing available at the time. Instead, I purchase a regular one on eBay as well as the Incipio Feather case that comes with one. IF these those fix the feel/look, I'll just have to go naked (screen )
Hi Ivan go to T-Mobile and buy the protector for Samsung vibrant and it fits very nice upside down plus its antiglare I have on my atrix

Gorilla glass..
I 'm waiting also my atrix..
and i ordered from ebay screen protectors..
they said its anti-glare, but i dont think so.. because its very cheap..
anw.. do we really need screen protector?
it makes less-sensitive the screen..
it hasnt got good antiglare action..
it may not be exactly at the size of the screen
the screen is gorilla glass.. it is necessary to have extra protection?
is gorilla glass really un-scratchable?
from keys the gorilla glass it doesnt make any scratches..
but with something stronger?
e.g phone falls..
if the screen brakes, the screen protector wont prevent it from breaking..
if anyone has atrix or any gorilla-glass phone without screen protector
and believes it's not necessary,
please just inform us!
Do not buy wrapsol screen protector. They are extremely hard to put on and it dims the screen quite bad. Its the one with anti fingerprints. Also, the installation is a pain. There is no room for error. Any dust or lint trapped between the glass and the protector can not be removed with tape. It will beforever there. Im just thinking of removing it since my protector has full of unremovable dirt..

I found it not too bad to apply. Make sure you're in a dust free environment (close the door in the bathroom and turn on the shower - hot - for a few minutes to steam things up).
I've messed up quite badly on an installation (got some lint stuck between the screen and protector) and was able to rectify the problem by washing the protector with soap and water and then reapplying it. Worked great!
there is what your looking for. these are the ones that have the Matte finish to them. i had these on my HD2 but now i bought the Invisible ones for my Atrix.

The best I've found is from www.nushield.com. I've used their screen products for years now on touch gps screens, Tilt2 and camera screens. Their DayVue film is great.

They are anti glare but give a horriblie look and texture to the phone literally feels like rubbing my hand on sandpaper
I got these instead

And with Atrix Screen you dont really need antiglare
I bought the ones from att. I have had protectors on all my phones, out of necessity after scratching a new phone. I don't care for the att ones. They do ok for glare, but are horrible for the clarity of the screen. I am going to take it off. I went for about 2 weeks before I installed it. I really don't want to use one, but I live in Florida and the glass just reflects the sunlight soo well, which in turn really brings out the finger smudges. So I'll get another brand.
Alright, I know the point of a screen protector is that it takes scratches instead of the screen. But I bought a screen protector off ebay and it took 48 hours of normal usage for a scratch to appear on the screen protector.
While my screen is fine, the colour is skewed where the scratch on the protector is. So i'm going to have to replace that.
Any recommendations for a screen protector that won't scratch so easily and screw up colours fast?
Have you tried an invisibleShield? I like using them and have no complaints about the colours. Also, the sensitivity is nice.

You can pay a lot for a Zagg protector or get the same thing off eBay for like $10 with the same warranties. Hope this helps yeah out
I prefer Best Skins Ever. Same material as Zagg or InvisibleShield, less than half the price.

I prefer Bodyguardz myself. All of the good things about the invisibleshield but without most of the bad points (sticky screen, bad orange peel effect, browning of edges etc)
And you get 2 in a pack too!
I don't know what it is about this screen protector but it's amazing stuff, I only wish I had got it sooner.

I know exactly what you're looking for. Depending on your phone model, look at either the Pocket PC Techs 'Write Shield' crystal, or 3M's Vikuiti screen protectors. Both are made of a plastic that resists scratches. I've tried sheets from Boxwave and Fellowes and like you, I found that whatever plastic they use doesn't last.
Have a look at my installation guide, too. There are links to the respective brands I suggest in the post.

Invisible shield works best for me . + their warranty is pretty good .
Invisible shield works the best.
Zagg makes invisibleshield. I have no idea who make that comment....
Anyways, I got my invisibleSHIELD today and installed it. There are some slight misformed area but some of them is said to go away in 2-3 days. We'll see. Their support has been HORRIBLE though.
Ive had bad experiences with screen protectors in the past with my galaxy nexus, ive had a XO Skins protector which had rainbow effect and orange peeling, a SGP Steinhel Flex but it had horrible orange peeling, which is your favorite screen protector? ive heard wonders about Zagg's HD Case Friendly.Wwhat do you think?

The first question you should be asking is whether you need a screen protector for this phone...HOX comes with gorilla glass which can resist scratches and other atrocities better than any screen protector in the market...so why spend money on such things..besides a screen protector makes the screen look even worse..

It may not prove the point that there're no scratches but atleast the damn thing is tough!

Look around in some of the previous screen protector threads. Many users have reported getting small scratches on the screen. Therefore I think a screen protector is essential. Screen protectors can degrade the quality a little, but clear type ones do not take that much away. I am a big fan of matte screen protectors (they are the worst in terms of screen quality degradation) but what good is a screen if its filled with finger prints and cant read under glare ? I personally prefer a legible clean screen over a sharper smudgy one. So quality is a highly subjective matter. Unfortunately I didn’t come across a wet install type matte screen protector yet, so I went with a clear type one. To my surprise it does quite well repelling fingerprints. Better than not having one.

Scratching and breaking are two different things. I'm sure the screen is pretty tough, but that doesnt mean its scratch proof.
@OP
Most regular (dry install) type screen protectors wont fit properly with the curved edges of One X, therefore some manufacturers (i.e: SGP) make them much smaller than the actual screen size; but the problem is then you can clearly see the edge of the protector. I’d recommend a wet install type instead, they usually go right to the edge and don’t cause bubbling. I am using this. Its pretty good for the price.

Gorilla glass is NOT scratch proof is scratch resistant, and it can be scratached: my motorola milestone , my inspire 4g had gorilla glass and trust they got scratched, even my galaxy s ii got some tiny scratches, and i have read tons of reports of the one x gettin micro scratches so id like an screen protector

Oh no, i had a protector smaller than the screen of my galaxy nexus and it had so much dirt on the borders, i will make sure to get one that covers the whole screen
Ive done a bit more reasearch, the ZAGG HD is sold ONLY through bestbuy , and the sgp protectors for the one x are only dry applications, not wet but what-s the difference between the flex and the oleophobic?
oleophobic resists the oil from your hands and is supposed to smudge less. You can get zagg HD from their web site cheaper than what you can buy them for at best buy. I ordered the Spigen slim case for mine and it came with an oleophobic screen protector. It was easy to apply but I happen to like SPG's screen protectors.
Which one covers the whole screen and is hardest to tell that it Its there. Also one that gives most protection

It's not the same, it's 'a little bit' more tacky & less smooth compared to BSE, im not sure if skinomi have fixed the speckled glue issue either.
The main difference is thickness, skinomi is thicker.

Ive bought both a BSE and a SGP screen protector. will apply the sgp firs since the case im going to use only shows the screen. so looks like it will be the best for that and the BSE for when i decide to go caseless
Guys I got this phone 2 days ago and bought a Vikuiti Clear Screen protector. The protector looks fine but is useless. The buttons on the bottom of the screen dont work if they are covererd with the protector.
Has anyone found a protector that works with this screen?
Hello,
I have a different opinion about screen protectors, in my opinion you should get a case for your One instead of screen protector because gorilla glass is really working well.
But if you still want to get screen protector, you should be able to find HTC's official protector in one of their retail sellers.

Hey guys how many of you have left the pre installed screen protector on? And does the actual screen hold up to scratches ok and does the naked screen get fingerprints as bad as the screen protector does?

The pre-installed "screen protector" is a very thin piece of plastic similar to the ones you peel off new phones. I put my phone in my pocket with a few keys for a few hours and I was shocked to see TEARS (not scratches) all over the screen. So I immediately removed it to realize it's just thin plastic. I also noticed colors/brightness looked better without it as plastic is not as clear as glass and it affects screen visuals.
The actual screen has Gorilla Glass 3 it should resist scratches but a real screen protector is highly recommended.

The gorilla glass is really soft on this one, so it does scratch a lot (at least in my case). So now I got a tempered glass to mask the scratches and prevent new one from happening.

My UK model, bought from the official Samsung online store, didn't come with a factory installed screen protector.
I'm running the latest May update but still find the fingerprint sensor only works 30% of the time despite registering the same thumb 3 times over.
I have a tempered glass protector on, but the sensor was just as poor without it. I find I use face unlock more than anything.
I can live with it, but it's quite a disappointing experience!
