the t-mobile ones are junk... most people will tell you you dont need one... as the screen is nearly indestructable.... my vibrant had micro scratches and a small chip from 6 months of daily use. so I recommend using one. that said a good one is the realook is pretty decent...
http://www.amazon.com/T-Mobile-Samsung-Vibrant-Premium-Protector/dp/B003WL4W6M
as you can see its for the vibrant... so no opening for the FFC... i dont think it should be a problem but if it is im sure a well placed hole punch would solve that problem.
Thanks mavictb... And yea this ones I got junk... Now the following question is going to make me look like idiot but this phone have "Gorilla Glass"?
P.S.
The box didnt say it and thats the only way I would not put a screen protector on this phone.

What's the best screen protector for reading ebooks for many hours on a Super AMOLED/Gorilla Glass screen?
I am thinking of going without the screen protector but would rather not. (I don't have the phone yet.)
I have an anti glare on my Nokia LCD phone and it really plays wonky with my eyes (swimming waves and such.)
Should I go with some kind of matte protector or something else? What about for my LCD screen on my current G2? Any difference?
Thanks mavictb also that is a plus that its similar to "Gorilla Glass".
And ill definitely get those screens on my SGS4G.
Anyways will on the topic anyone heard of that new "Mmetallic Glass" some scientists in California made?
It's not that it is the equivalent to Gorilla Glass, it is Gorilla Glass. The following phones have Gorilla Glass: every Samsung Galaxy S series phone, iPhone 4, & the Motorola Defy.

Zagg are the best IMO. Very minor "orange Peel" and extremely durable. It dries to crystal clarity as well. I tried the other major brand and the orange peel was horrendous to say the least.

WOW … I just saw the video on the website 2 times because I could not believe the amount of things they did to that iPhone 4 screen protector and when they pulled it off and the screen was like NEW I was Wowed …
+1 on the Zagg -- they apparently patterned the T959V last week and are shipping mine this week.

I'd skip the zagg , had a bad experience with it during my ios days, they never honored my lifetime warranty and it easily scratched. I suggest bodyguards, its similar to the zagg but comes with 2 full body protectors plus lifetime warranty. you just gotta pay $5 and they send you a replacement and once you get it you send your old one back. MUCH better deal if you ask me.

So this weekend i got rid of the crappy screen protector i got at T-Mo when the phone came out and got the Zagg and well yes the colors on the screen look as good as it didnt have a protector on it unlike the T-Mo ones that made the colors of the screen dull. This issue i have with the Zagg is the air bubbles and that for 20$ i only got one F-ing protector... I will keep on looking for other screen protectors or if not i think ill go bearback ( LOL! ) and let the Gorilla Glass do its thing and see how it goes.
I'm surprised you have air bubbles. Any tiny ones usually disappear in a day or two. Did you have it wet going on? By the end of the day I put mine on it was totally settled in on the screen.
As for the price, you'll find it outlasts the "three-fer" ones by at least three times.
I'm sorry you're not thrilled. I believe they have a very generous refund policy.

The best thing to do with the zagg is get it installed in your local mall usually they have kiosks that do it for you. They do it perfectly, so it's probably your best bet.

However, best skins ever isn't selling them yet for the G2X. Being that I couldn't wait, I went ahead and bought the ultra clear protectors from clarivue

He said that dependent on them getting sample then its a couple more weeks till ready for production. So dont hold our breath. UGGG
trust me this is a dual core phone an otterbox case will be made for it, it was just released so it might be may or june before we get it
Love the Zagg Invisible Shield. Will be ordering it for mine in the next few days. I've tried some of the other less flexible and 'cheaper' protectors but could never get them to install perfectly. Always had a bubble or some dust or something no matter what. The Zagg is great because you thoroughly wet the surface and the film allowing you to move it, remove it and reinstall (until it dries of course), etc.
About to order this from them...
http://www.bodyguardz.com/t-mobile-g2x-cases-screen-protectors-covers-shields-skins-films.html
Use coupon "PROTECT" to get 10%. What searching thru Google does. ;D
I'm using the Zagg now. It's great.
Although If you happen to get the bodyglove case for the phone it does cause the screen to push and bubble up at 4 of the snap in places on the case. As long as you don't need to take the case constantly on/off you'll be ok.
-1 for Zagg. Protects well but always needs to be wiped and is not at all smooth. Took mine off after a month.

Before putting on a skin, I scratched my N1 even though many were claiming that as durable. I wish there was a real side by side comparison of that against the Gorilla Glass.

I had a Droid (with Gorilla Glass) from November 2009 until I got my G2x. I never use cases and am clumsy and careless. By the time I got rid of the Droid the whole phone looked like absolute crap. Except the glass, which was without a scratch. Anecdote != evidence, but take it for what it's worth.

Thank you for the review! Now is that salt water aquarium water or.....
who uses a screen protector and what is the best one?
Ive had this one on my phone since early December and no complaints or problems. Highly recommend it. http://cgi.ebay.com/3x-LCD-Screen-P...Accessories&hash=item27bcad8c90#ht_500wt_1139
I usually go to RadioShack. They have cut to fit ones, but don't use the "Wright Right" ones, as they suck, MAJORLY. They scratch way too easily, and have removable film on only one side. I prefer the kind that has removables on both sides. Basically, I peel off the back, then apply, and there is another film sheet on the top that I can keep on while I use a credit card to pour on the pressure to apply, then remove that upper layer film and have a pristine, beautifully applied screen protector. Oh yeah...
You don't really have to have one.. this screen is unscratchable. I never have used one and there is not a single mark. I personally like to take a pair of scissors to it as hard as I can to show off to friends. But do as you please. Lol

If you keep it in a pocket, sand (quartz) can scratch it.
i had one for my moment and the problem i had with that was that when i would drag my fingers across the screen it would slide smoothly, it was jumpy that was a zagg screen protector just wondering if there was something better or if they are all created equally
I have an extremeguard.com shield on mine, not terribly happy with it, I've had zagg shields and bse shields and they where pretty similar. So I would probably recommend one of those over the extreme guard.

Zagg invisible shield. Hands down.
Its like $20 and if you get it at a mall kiosk they'll apply it for you. It also has an unlimited lifetime warranty. So if the protector gets scratched, if it peels up/comes off you can take it back and they will give you another protector and only charge couple dollars to apply the new one.

I just got a cheap $1 3 pack from amazon, I figured I could use them while I looked around for some better ones. Turned out they were better than I thought. I can't even tell I have a screen protector, and I have 2 spares although a lot of people said that they sucked because they would leave bubbles, but if you've ever applied screen protectors you know that the bubbles are human errors and not the products fault. And for the price why not try them out. But whatever you do DO NOT get that crap wright protect from sprint, those just suck. In case anyone was wondering yes they were cut out, even came with a little card and cloth.
I work in a sprint store, and I ended up ordering the $1.49 anti-glare protectors on ebay.
For one; they are way cheaper than even my employee discount on the Write Right brand 3 pack, and two; they cover the entire front bezel.
They are awesome, go on smooth, and I like that the matte finish makes it smoother to use the screen than the naked gorilla glass. (I'm not worried about scratches as much as the feel of using the screen - big reason I hate the Invisible Shield protectors.)
I still actually like the ones we sell in the store, and I've put on a lot of protectors for customers, and these almost always go on really well with no bubbles, and no need for a squeegee (meaning no need for the top plastic cover.) Some people really like the privacy anti-glare protector that comes in it, but not really a good idea if you want to use it for GPS (unless you have the phone pointed directly at you.)
The write right brand aren't a bad purchase, but to be honest, you could go with the ones in the link above, and get a better product for cheap from a great US seller.
zagg's are probably some of the worst and most overpriced screen protectors. try ghost armor
You can try stealth shieldz there nice cheaper then zagg. Tho zagg is on ebay right now 5 dollars a pop for the kit. also xtream guard is a sweet protector too. All those are worth checkin out.
Sometimes the cheap ass ones work pretty good.

Totally agree, wouldn't own another phone or ipod without the invisable shield.
Best buy has too for 20 but 8>00 to put on for you but they are quick at it and good, definetly worth the extra few dollars to lt them do it.
Just wondering if you use one or not on the GS3. My first GS3 didn't have one on it, and it magically gained 3 large scratches in the screen (always was left in a pocket alone, nothing else). I had one on my 2nd GS3, but I am now on my 3rd (2nd one had dead pixels) and wondering if I should just rough it out without one, or get one again.
Also if you got one, where from, and how do you like it?
Thanks
I got one from my bro so i dont know what brand it is. But i can tell you it came in a pack of like 3 and it sucks. Rainbow affect ruins the screens potential. Look like its kinda snowy and the feel isnt nice

Screen protectors are more trouble than their worth in almost all cases. If you manage to get it on without putting absolutely hideous bubbles on the screen, then you'll be left with something that just makes the screen "rainbowy" and terrible looking. Second skin doesn't do this but then it makes the screen rubbery and grippy feeling, not smooth like it should be. Protectors also seem to enhance fingerprints making them highly visible. Scratches? I wouldn't worry too much about that with gorilla glass 2 - http://youtu.be/wT8xI4PEU8c

I've used the SGP Ultra Nanos and don't like them. Within a month quite a lot had peeled away from the phone. I think this is going to be an issue with all thin film protectors that the industry seems to prefer with this model (slightly curved display surface).
I purchased an XGear Spectre and really like it. It's a tempered glass surface. Very easy to mount and hasn't peeled or scratched despite subjecting it to the same rigors as my previous SGP Ultra Nano. Nor do I expect it to peel in the future because it's pretty think (0.4 mm) and rigid. Apparently it's think enough that it doesn't fit all cases (I don't use a case). The field of view is essentially unaffected and the glass has excellent optics. At $35 with shipping, it's definitely more of than investment than thin film protectors, but I consider it a good value given the advantages.
I got the ones from samsung at the verizion store when i got my phone (the first day they had them or second)
The dude put on the first one for me and still looks great barley tell its there and its custom fit to phone
Price tag is 14 bucks but he gave it to me and it did go on very nicely no bubbles or discoloring
I don't use one, I'm just careful not to put anything in the same pocket that could scratch it
Same I use the one from the Verizon store 12 bucks, it didn't effect the viewing, it's a dry install and almost no bubbles when done, and you get 3.

also, you guys getting the grainy and rainbow effects, it's because you're using anti-glare protectors. they suck. the clear ones are better.

What do you guys think about this screen protector from XO Skins? http://xoskins.com/cell-phone-skin-protectors/google-skin-protectors/google-nexus-4-screen-protector

I just ordered one the other day. I am hoping that it would get to me before the N4 arrives so that I do not have to worry about scratches on the screen. Read a lot of great reviews about XO Skins for different phones, and thought might as well try it. Hopefully it's not ~$14 down the drain.
Have a search on YouTube for tips on applying the skin, it makes all the difference! I searched for xo skin application galaxy nexus or similar... it's a breeze, really.

I have been researching them and it looks like this one is right for me. Apparently these don't have the orange peel look and I think these might be better than the hard/plastic protectors because I've gotten scratches quite easily. But they do seem like I don't have anything installed on them. I'm gonna give the XO Skins a try.

Yes they do, I ordered a full body one here:

They also do case fit versions too.
I won't use a wet applied skin protector if the screen itself is not in curve, why make it so trouble?
Although XO skin has very nice customer services (I returned 4 times...still getting a bad product, they gave me refund at the end), I was not impressed with their product.
Back to the Samsung Vibrant year, I use Realook clear SP which is really nice.
Do they still make nice screen protector now?

Here you go buddy, from xoskin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA-bH4RsyFs
From my experience, 4 out of 4 of my XOskins have rainbow effect for either the whole screen or partial screen.....which stop me from getting one for Nexus 4..
But I see reply saying Nexus 4 is still a curve screen on the edge..
so is that really no way for a dry-apply one to fully cover it?

weird the ones i had for my gnex / iphone were mint / crystal clear at all angles.
did you use the solution from the box?
btw ordered another set for the n4 using sprintxo promotion code. Dont bother getting any other shipping other than the usps priority cheap kind. I usually receive their packages in a day or 2 From their office which is in seattle i believe to connecticut.
(actually they are based in utah)
I've seen a rainbow look while it was still wet. Sometimes it takes a few days to dry out.

Yes I use their solution
and here is what I mean....
About XO Skins.
I've put them on all of my devices without hesitation, or worry of something better. They've always protected my devices. I ordered one for my GS3 and it dropped it on the floor while applying.. Sticky side down. They sent me a replacement free.
I am willing to spend up to $20 dollars for 2

I know this MSRP's for more than $20, but i have seen them on Ebay got for $20-25. It is a glass screen protector.
I have one and think they are amazing. I have dropped my phone onto it's face in gravel from ear height and this protected my factory glass. In my opinion, id rather break one of these then the factory glass because it is a paint in the butt to replace the factory glass.
Check it out. Google:

iloome flex for s4. About $16 - a little over your budget but worth it.

I agree - I have the iLoome and after I put one on mine, my daughter insisted on one. It also went on easier and more bubble-free than any film protector I've ever dealt with.

How is it? I am thinking of picking up one of these?
How is the install? I always mess up my screen guards..
I got this one on my screen http://www.eforchina.com/v/159029
For the price, I wasn't expecting much but it works flawless Got it on my screen 2 months now and it doesn't distort the screen and looks cool on it
I got this for 99 cents shipped on ebay. Wasn't expecting much but I was surprisingly happy with the fitment and quality.

go for a tempered glass on ebay for $10
I got a skinomi from amazon. I think it was like 7 bucks. Lifetime warranty supposedly. I like it, it doesn't have the drag my old zagg's used to have when I move my finger around. It is a wet application, but it works, so I don't really have any complaints.

I made a mistake of purchasing skinomi for my late iphone 4s. The supposed lifetime warranty is a load of baloney. Such a hassle to convince them that I needed replacement as the corners started to peel. And after days of dispute, I got my replacement but they wanted me to pay for shipping. $3 shipping on a $10 product. Never again. But your experience may differ.

Good to know about the warranty. That's partially why I said supposedly. I guess I haven't had it long enough to know the long term quality. For a short term cheap screen saver it seems to be pretty good.

Awesome, good luck. My first one did not apply well, it had some weird line-defect in it. Got a new one, and i love it. I've been using it about 5 weeks now, and I don't have any scratches or marks on it. A plastic screen protector would be scratched up in a few days.
I keep my phone in my jacket pocket, or back pants pocket.
I've been really happy with it.
Got a zagg only because its the only one Best Buy offered when i got my phone. Will definitely be getting the spigen tempered glass one next payday. I hate the feeling of screen protectors (especially zagg, feels like an orange peel). Glass is the only way to go. IMO its an expensive phone, no need to be a cheap charlie when it comes to protecting the screen. Just my .02 cents. 30 bucks for a tempered glass one that will fit properly isnt much.

Agreed. I have plastic on my tablet. just flipping and closing the smart cover is enough to cause huge scratches on it.
I love the iSmooth ones, i bought them from amazon

sorry for the late response. install was a breeze. I did however manage to get some dirt on the adhesive side of the glass right before I was about to place it on and freaked out for a bit after realizing the back side is pretty sticky and you cant simply wipe dirt off of it. Thankfully I had some sticky notes nearby and used the sticky side of the note and padded the adhesive side of the glass and it grabbed all the dirt right off

I didn't have this one but It went great.
What I did was do it after a hot shower (steamy), cleaned the screen with the included cloth and used the included stick repeatly to remove all dust.
when I see no dust on there, I quickly pealed off the red tab and aligned it before applying pressure and sticking it in place.
you can get a tempered glass S4 screen protector for $7 on ebay.. select US ONLY
