Screen protectors

I've seen one or two screen protectors that are pictured to fit the N1, but before I go order one, I want to make sure I can't smudge and scratch it up.
I have for my MT3G the PowerSupportUSA.com screen protector for the G1, and it's served me well.
Is there anything similar or better planned soon for the Nexus?

+1. I hate to post just to say +1 but I too am in need of a screen protector. If anyone has any info on any good ones, please post. As soon as a few debut I will try different ones and hopefully remember to post results here. Also, you might want to keep an eye on http://www.seidioonline.com/ as they are getting ready to sell some N1 products. They are usually overpriced but they spawn ideas so people can cheaply copy them.

Does it not come with a protector in the box? Like the G1?

No. I was disappointed it did not come with a screen protector. I ordered a kit from amazon "Skinomi TechSkin - Invisible Cell Phone Protector Shield Full Body Skin for Nexus One - Plus LIFETIME REPLACEMENTS"
Wireless Phone Accessory;
$18.95
Free shipping.

Zagg is taking preorders for the InvisibleShield -- ships approx 1/08:
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php

I've never had experience with the invisibleShield line. Does anyone have any comparisons to the non-smudge/non-glare ones from powersupportusa.com referenced in my op? In order of most to least necessary, I'd like to see these qualities
1. Smudge and fingerprint proof
2. Static cling rather than adhesive backed
3. Can take a bullet to protect the screen (at least be scratch resistant)
4. glare reduction
5. Looks good.
I've not yet been able to sell my MT3G, but when I do I'm very hopeful I can buy both the screen guards, case, and phone on the same day.
Does the phone at least have a protective film that you have to peal off before you make calls or something?

Not that you would be able to leave on.

I've had both the Zagg (and InvisibleShield and ClearProtector and whatnot.. they're almost the same when used on the screen) and PowerSupport anti-glare ones. I'll rate it JUST FOR THE SCREEN:
1. Zagg is somewhat fingerprint proof on the screen (better than a bare screen), but too far off from the anti-glare protectors. No comparison here, anti-glare wins.
2. Zagg is adhesive based (you need to wet it with a solution to apply). Only regular screen protectors (including anti-glare ones) are static cling.
3. Ah ha, here is what the Zagg-type stuff wins. Just view the Zagg videos and you will see they are a lot stronger than a hard plastic film. Scratch-resistant-wise, I find they both do the job well enough.
4. Zagg is somewhat anti-glare, because the surface is not even. But the "bumps" are a lot bigger/coarser than anti-glare screen protectors (like PowerSupport). Zagg-type stuff is still shiny while anti-glare ones are matte. So the anti-glare property is a lot better on (gasp,) the anti-glare screen protectors.
5. Appearance wise, it depends on what you like. The anti-glare screen protectors dim/distort the screen a bit, while the Zagg-type stuff preserves the colors better. However, the Zagg stuff has an "orange-peel" look due to the bumps, while the anti-glare protectors look smooth.
Personally, I use Zagg-type skins for the body, and an anti-glare screen protector on the screen.
And I want to add that my Zagg-type skin is peeling off my Magic (since day 5 or so?!), while my anti-glare screen protector recently has a tiny dent. Both are not bullet-proof.

Anyone Looking for Nexus One Screen Protectors?
You can purchase one from

I just received mine from Talkietech and i'm about to install the full body protector. I'll let you know how it goes.

I found a 15% discount code that worked for my order: hfmembers
I ordered the clear silicone protector, a motorola rapid car charger, and the skinomi protector. I'll report back how everything goes.

I just pre-ordered the Zagg Screen protector only. I had one of the whole body clear skin things from Zagg for my G1... and I did not like how it made the phone look, and how it felt.
I do however, really like their screen protectors. You cannot mar them what-so-ever. The only thing I would stress is taking your time applying it to the screen. Make sure that sonovagun has a lot of the solution Zagg provides, and get all the air bubbles out.
I think a nice silicon case (hoping for a Blody Glove) for the Nexus will be a nice fit for this phone... the G1 as always cumbersome due to the sliding keyboard. Every case for it came in 3 parts.

I just got word from Martin Fields (overlayplus.com) that they have a Nexus One on order and expect to offer screen protectors in a week or so. They usually include a camera protector too.

How is the glass screen on a stock Nexus? Is it easily scratch-able? Is it even glass?

Wish it was Gorilla Glass, would solve a lot of problems

Yes, it is glass. Does it matter how easy it is to scratch? It's possible to scratch it. If you put a protector on it, it's just a few bucks to replace if it gets messed up and it's peace of mind...

I ordered a screen protector from clearfreakmobile on ebay. It's an invisibleshield type (have to use water), but it looks fine. I never liked the full body kind as the little pieces keep coming off in my pockets. Should hopefully get it late next week.

i'll prolly check out martin fields when they start shipping them.

I still swear by naked cases they are awesome. Patiently waiting for a nexus one!

Nothing beats powersupport anti-glare. I custom cut these for my car navigation, digital camera, and all my phones. but nexus got a big ass screen and custom cutting wont work

I'm digging the Clear Protector (which, again, is the same as Zagg and Ghost Armor). It actually gets completely smooth over time and the orange peel effect becomes less noticeable. It also starts off with a little more friction on swipes than I like, but that is fixed over time as well.

Brando anti-glare (BW PDA) screen protector experience

I received Brando's anti-glare protector today. It's a perfect fit, even has a little hole in the top left corner where the proximity & light sensors are. However...
It makes the screen look like sh*t, everything is "grainy" or "foggy". I can barely read my email (using the stock gmail client). I've always been a fan of Brando's screen protectors, ever since I bought one for my Axim X5 in.. what? 2003 or so... and their "Ultra-clear" protectors are still great (i put one on my wife's Magic and you can't tell it's there), but their anti-glare ones are pretty much useless on the N1 and similar phones.
Has anyone else used this particular screen protector? Was it as bad as mine, or did i just get a dud?

I just got my BoxWave anti-glare protector today, and it is really clear... if it turns out it is just an issue with all Brano's, take a look at the Boxwave one's. I got it 3 days after ordering it, came with a cleaning cloth and application card. As well, it is static cling too boot!

box wave sells really good screen protectors.

My only camera is my N1 right now since I just sold my G1 and the digital camera is at my brothers... I will try to grab it next time I go over there.
I will say that the fit is pretty good, but not perfect, it has about 1mm on one side and the top(I decided when I laid it down, I would do it that way so the bottom and right side was fully covered). When off, there is a hair of cloudiness, when on there is a hint of graininess and whites give a "prism" look at the correct angle, but both effects keep getting less and less as it has more time to fully work itself onto the screen and get all the air out. I suspect in a day or two there will be no "prism" effect of graininess.
It has a great feel to it when swiping, no drag at all. As well, fingerprints are a thing of the past.
I also ordered one of their ultra-clear, not anti-glare, and it is just perfectly clear. I use my phone outside a fair amount, though, so I wanted to do the anti-glare first and see if I could withstand the graininess and what not that is common with all anti-glare screen protectors. Compared to ones I have used in the past, just generic eBay ones, on my G1 and a TyTN II, this is the best anti-glare I have seen so far.

static cling. My experience on my Tilt was that it stayed on very well, but easy to take off.
If you start with dust or anything under the protector, it is easy to lift with a piece of tape and get the dust off. If necessary, you can take it off, wash with a little soapy water, dry it, and put it back on.
Had to do that with the Tilt because I was so ham-fingered when putting it on.

Static, like was already mentioned. I would not recommend the "anti-glare" for anyone that wants or expects it to be 100% crystal clear. Even after a couple days, I still have the slight "prism" effect going on... it works great in the sunlight making it so you can see the screen, but I don't think the outdoor improvement is worth the trade off.
As for application, the best way is to start taking off the backing, and then as you lay it down remove it more and more along the way.
The screen protector is thick enough that it lays down really really well with out any air bubbles.

can you post some photos with the N1 screen on and off?

In case anyone's interested, I uploaded a video to Vimeo. It's here: www"DOT"vimeo"DOT"com/9087329 (<3 spam rules for "new" users)
Note that the video actually makes the screen protector look a lot better than it really is...
My screen is currently "naked" and I'm waiting on dcmugen's clear screen protector (bought a pack of 5 for like 5 EUR).
Edit/update: uploaded to youtube as well (try the 1080p version) - www"DOT"youtube"DOT"com/watch?v=0yxpBL1zsFo

yes, i have ordered many different screen protectors in my time. just got an hd2 and decided to go with the brando anti glare... horrible! it is the most unreadable anti glare sp i have ever bought. the fit and and the cut is perfect, but it diffuses too much light. it does reduce glare but absorbes too much light that it makes the entire screen too light that you cant see anything anyway.
even my 5 dollar dc mugen for my mt3g used better material. i may have to try the boxwave.
i did end up buying the brando ultra clear after and those are still top notch.

Hi,
I have a had a Boxwave & Clarivue Anti-Glare, both decrease the clarity of the screen & I would not recommend.
I have ended up using a Clarivue Ultra Clear. You sustain the clarity of the screen & you can't even notice that it is there. Also when you order you get two sets at the same price of buying one Boxwave.
I would recommend Clarivue if you want to get the Ultra Clear, but if you still want to decrease the glare of the screen. I would recommend that you find a alternative screen protector that is not a Anti Glare but with a matt finish.
I have a 10% discount code if you want to order a Clarivue.
code: Clarivue7
Thanks

I like anti glare because it has the "matte" feel. Do all 3 Boxwave & Clarivue Anti-Glare and brando have that feel?

Clarivue & Boxwave Anti-Glare do have the matt feel, but decrease clarity.
Better off going with a standard matt screen protector.

What's the best screen protector for the Galaxy S?

I'm looking for a clear screen protector with a cutout for the front camera. It needs to perfectly cover the screen. Does anyone here have any recommendations for one to get?

perhaps you could spend a few min browsing trough the screen protector thread.
plenty of revies of what ppl like.

i'm using many freebies ones that are very good, but..........
traces of oil from my face and fingers are horrible
on the other Screen Protector topic, some one mentioned a brand that is SUPPOSEDLY Anti Oil resistant

The best screen protector is already on it. Gorilla Glass!
Otherwise I just use one of those 5 for a couple of quid on ebay. Not bad at all.

Case
Hello,
I bought a really nice case for only 7 euro's (https://www.b2ctelecom.nl/CASETSI901/silicone-hoesje-voor-samsung-i9000-galaxy-s-white-tsi-tp.html). I am very happy with the case, it fits perfectly.
I also bought this screenprotor: https://www.b2ctelecom.nl/MIRRSI900...en-protector-voor-samsung-i9000-s-galaxy.html but this is not a good one. It looks like the screen is darker and putting this on you don't get the fulle benefit of the super screen
This shop has more goodies for your Galaxy S (see https://www.b2ctelecom.nl/p/10/mid/3/tid/1312/samsung-s-i9000-galaxy.html)
Good luck
Thijs

I prefer to go naked. Clear screen protectors are fingerprint magnet, and matt screen protectors look bad. There's no in between.

Gotta agree with that.

I'd put a protector on if I were you. Don't learn the hard way like myself. I was going naked screen for a bit and as every day went by I was confident the screen was not going to get a scratch.
Then I accidently shoved the USB cable with my phone in my pocket and bang - scratched it. Just a small one, but enough to be seen in reflection.
Better a screen protector get scratched and replaced rather than the screen have an unrepairable scratch for it's life.

For sure I'm going to get a screen protector. I just find it funny how some people would bother posting in this thread telling me to go naked when I've clearly made up my mind. The glass is scratch resistant and not scratch proof. Like you, I also stuff coins and other small items into my pocket in addition to my cellphone so I wouldn't be surprised if scratches form if there's no protection on the screen.

SGP Steinheil Ultra Crystal
or

I give the thumbs up for the SGP Ultra Oleophobic Film as well. I'm usually it right now and think it's probably the best one I've used on any phone so far. Extremely clear, smooth, and responsive. And easy to clean!

+1, I am really satisfied with it. Too sad there was no cover for the back camera in the package.

There's no cut out for the front camera but in all honesty, the shield presents no discernible degradation in front camera quality.
I got mine from Cretouch, but you can also find it available from SGP eBay resellers or SGPcraft themselves.
The oleophobic properties of the screen aren't as pronounced as I would like, but it still beats non-oleophobic screens. I was using the Martin Fields protector prior to this one which was excellent in terms of clarity, but it looked like a greased pig had gone to town on it after you were done playing with it.

i recently received my galaxy and made sure i got myself a good screen protector. after all everyone raves about the screen and i'm sure after a 2 year contract it's going to have a few marks without one.
i bought a Martin Fields Overlay. Not cheap but more than happy with it, I've used the cheap ones from ebay on other phones and they definitely aren't as good.
it includes a cover for the camera lense as well.
sorry new account so cant post direct link, just google martin fields screen protectors.

I put the Invisible Screen on the 2 i9000's we have and am happy given the circumstances. The protector certainly holds some oil and grim but it's easily cleaned. I'm willing to deal with the cleaning for a scratch-free screen.
Screen protector only (what I did)

[EDIT] forgot to add that the protector DOES have a cut-out for the front facing camera

Why would you want a screen protector when you already have gorilla glass. It doesn`t scratch that easily. It`s not resistive touch screen. It`s capacitive and it`s gorilla glass. Enjoy the clear display without worries is my suggestion.

i have copter, the same as IS and it looks like crap! Wonder if its the pentile that creates interferance patterns... IS looks good on lcd

[Pictures] Spigen SGP Ultra Crystal Screen Protector

I got my screen protector in the mail today and put it on my phone. I figured I should share my thoughts along with some pictures for those who are looking at screen protectors.
The pack came with two screen protectors, a squeegee, some dust removal stickers, and a small micro fiber cloth. The protector was not too bad to put on, pretty similar to other dry application ones and the Realook which I have used on my Samsung Vibrant. It was kind of tough to align because the screen protector is literally exactly the width of your screen, so if you're off alignment, it looks horrible.
The screen protector is definitely super clear. It also is a fingerprint magnet, and it feels slightly tacky. I'm hoping that tackiness will go away as it gets more use, because I like being able to glide over my screen smoothly.
One huge disadvantage with this screen protector is that because of the curved screen, the protector only covers the flat part. It is definitely noticeable when you see it closer. I tried taking pictures to depict this. I also with they would have just had the protector cover the FFC. I'm not sure how it would actually affect the optics (if at all), but I really hate that cut out! Overall, I'm decently content with my purchase, but I would love to see pics and reviews for BSE when those arrive since I'm considering that for the back, and even replace the front if I end up not liking the Spigen.

Thanks so much for these. I used the SGP on my Gnex and loved it. There's something special about these Crystal series ones but I don't remember what it is.

I got the Ultra Clear for my N4. It hasn't arrived yet, so for now I'm using my spare One X Oleophobic. The Oleophobic is great, really good for repelling fingerprints, I would have got it but when I bought my N4 UltraClear they weren't selling the Oleo. Thanks for the pictures, it seems to fit a lot better than the One X SGP protectors did on the One X. Doesn't look too bad at all.

I got the crystal clear and I have the same issue with the protector being too small. I know that this has been the case with some their other protectors, but I'm going to have to try some other brands. I can't stand it being cut off like this.

The Spigen website.
I wonder if using the Google Bumper will hide the fact that it doesn't quite reach the edges.

I got the oleophobic one in today from SGP, it doesnt cover the whole screen either. Better than nothing i guess for now.

I'm starting to have a huge distaste for the curved screens. Feels nice with the hardware buttons on my S3, but looks like utter garbage with a screen protector.

The bumper does not cover it.
Also big warning for people looking to buy SGP: The light sensor is covered by this screen protector (not cut out like most) and it interfered with the functionality of the phone. In the past I've had screen protectors that went over the sensor without issue, but with this particular protector and phone, it did not work.
For example if i went to make a phone call, the screen would stay dark even if i took the screen away from my face. Also auto brightness didn't work either. I had to cut the film to expose the sensors. Everything is working normally now. Anyone else have this issue?

Also received mine today, dont have the phone yet though. Not feeling too happy about it already seeing as it doesnt cover the curved screen too well... Money down the drain then :s

Mine will arrive today and I plan to put it in a case so its not a big deal. The SGP on my Note 2 didn't go all the way to the edge either. A tpu case fixed that and everything was covered.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

Good thing I waited. I am planning on using this phone with screen protectors only and I can't pay for a high quality one that looks pretty bad IMO.

Looks great. SGP never usually covers the entire front. It is always just a tad bit smaller.

You guys do know it has to be cut smaller because the curved edges will make the protector peel right?

Yes, I'm just hoping someone finds out a way to make t stick over the curved glass. I guess I am going to have to go with a wet screen protector.

Yes, but it stops way short of the curve. It literally just covers the display (width wise). They could have extended it a bit further. This is going to leave a gap, even with a TPU case on it.

How is the smoothness of these screen protectors? I really like the way zagg HD screen protectors feel and I'm looking for something similar.

Just received mine today. Installation was straightforward and the dust removal stickers easily snatched up the remaining few bits of dust at the end. The surface slickness is shockingly poor at first but improves drastically after just a few minutes.
The film doesn't run all the way to the edge due to the curvature of the screen, but there may be a solution. Steinheil makes a dry application edge to edge film called Curved Crystal for the SGS3 which also has a curved edge screen. If there is enough interest, I'm sure they will make one for the N4.

I'm not sure how smooth the zagg HDs are, but right after you put the screen protector on, it is really tacky. But it gets much more smoother as you use it. I think that as you use it more, you're depositing more skin oils onto to screen protector and it kind of "seasons" the screen protector.
This sounds weird, but I just put a bunch of fingerprints on it, then I distributed it using a dry kimwipe (i'm sure a microfiber would work too) and after using it for about 24 hours, it's pretty much as slick as you would expect from the bare glass. Also, of course there is no orange peel feeling since this is a dry application screen protector.

Glass Screen Protectors

I figured that there would not be any glass screen protectors made for the Note Edge since it would be too difficult for manufacturers to produce.
However, I'm constantly searching the web in the hopes that some company does produce it. To my surprise, I found the following website(looks to be out of stock), but supposedly they are creating one:

Let's help each other out and place any links for other Glass Protectors for the Note Edge that may come along in the future.

I have a feeling any glass screen protectors they make will not cover the edge screen

ebay has some

but they only cover the front and not the edge.
i doubt there will be any that will cover the edge anytime soon. Its going to be pretty hard to make it fit just right without a space between the screens.
Plastic protectors would have some give to them so it would bend over.

I agree but hope your wrong with today's technology someone should come up with one , if they do it will be expensive , finger's crossed meanwhile ups just dropped off my Note Edge , the only viable solution I found was a skinomi screen protector that wraps around the curve , unfortunately it cost me 20 buck's to have it 2 day shipped no Prime , go figure screen protector 7$ shipping 20 $ also waiting for my Fosman case from amazon should be here tomorrow , now if I could just get UAG to send me my case sooner then the 25 th , I really don't feel like taking a chance on taking the phone out , without a good screen protector and case .............:good:

Yea I had a fosman case order before I got the edge. It came in the day before I pick it up in store. I paid $4 on ebay.
I had screen protectors but they didn't cover the edge. So had to order some more.
I never had a glass screen protector before, since I always put a protectors on day one. But I must say I like the glass feel or the device. So I kinda hope they make a full glass protector.

Philly, did the skinomi work? I love bestscreensever but they will not be making any. I used them for years and years. My note 3 still have the original from Oct 2013 and still in great shape.

I have not used it yet ,picked up the nexus 6 yesterday been setting that up, plus very busy with work , however I have both skinomi protectors on my desk I'm hoping I have time later today to install, I'll let you know and post a few pictures as soon as I can..

I bought a universal screen protector from zagg and cut it to fit my note edge. The one I bought is bigger than the entire lcd on the phone and the zagg's don't try to stay flat so it wrapped around the edge display nicely.

I wonder how this will fit.. It's only a few bucks, guess I'll give it a shot, assuming it won't cover the edge, not sure how it will fit like that, but I guess we will find out.

What the he'll J currently unavailable......? Lol. Just teasing I'll give it a shot when it's available currently using the skinomi not bad bubble free you can barely tell it's on, but nothing beats glass

I'm thinking of getting a tempered glass protector for the flat screen and get the clear self healing ones everyone here talks about for the edge portion.
Trace the self healing protector with the the glass one and cut the edge part off the self healing one.
Apply the glass protector and then apply the cutout of the edge.
I tried looking for that glass protector on ebay but now it's gone. Anyone know where I can get more?

I too have the skinomi brand and am impressed with it. I also reviewed it on amazon. It fits perfectly and still has the finger print issue I mentioned on amazon. However I have also noticed a lot of screen errors in the form of inadvertent screen presses and zoom in/out while trying to scroll. Since I have had the screen protector since nearly day one I do not know if this is an issue with the phone itself or the barrier/drag of the skinomi material.
I do like the feel though. It is nearly un-noticeable.

I haven't had any of those problems. I got my phone day one the 14th then screen protector around the 24th.
Also I don't get any drag on the screen at all all feels like glass

The tech armor glass screen protector "coming soon" status reminds me of the subway just built near my house. when I was in freshman year of college and wife in high school, is when we first saw the "coming soon" sign. That was in 2005. they just finished building it last month and it's still not open for business, lol. That how I feel about this screen protector

I ordered Alien Surface HD front and rear. I'll tell you how good it is.

I wonder if there is an edge to edge screen for this one?

I installed the film on the screen, it fits very well, full size. Great care when installing! I am very satisfied. It remains to be seen how the resistance is.
Instructions must be followed strictly and installation kit helps a lot.
