Screen Protector Needed? - T-Mobile LG G2x

I am coming from a Mytouch Slide to the G2x. The MT3GS definitely needed a screen protector. I hear that the G2x has gorilla glass and doesn't need a screen protector but I saw in the T-Mo store they were selling them. Should I get one? Is it needed on the G2x? Thanks in advance!

I'm still using the one that came with the phone even though the left and right sides are missing. Its up to you if you want to get one. I definitely want to protect my phones screen.

WE GOT: Corning® Gorilla® Glass Capacitive Touchscreen

I got one for the sole purpose of anti-smudge.
Sent from my LG-P999

The anti-smudge screen protectors sold by t-mo are terrible. It actually looks like theres oil on the screen from the protector. It looks like tiny little specks of color all over the screen. I hate it and just want to tear it off lol.

Good point on the Gorilla Glass. It's shatter-resistant but not so much with scratches. I got one installed because it was close to being free.
This protector is also really good at being oleophobic (fingerprint resistant).

I'm getting one off E-bay. Gotta make sure the phone stays in great shape to retain its value, so I can think about getting the HTC Sensation when it comes out.

Martian fields for the 2x should work on the g2x. Just got mine today will post back with pictures.

can anyone post proof that the G2x really does have Gorilla Glass?
Thanks

Under Key Features it says "4.0" Corning® Gorilla® Glass Capacitive Touchscreen"

I would just protect it because it can still get scratched/dented. You should get the 'XtremeGuard' protector. Its like a zagg invisible shield without the orange peel effect. Plus, its only 4.75 for a fully body . In addition to that, I have a TPU case. Oh yeah, I have OCD for keeping my tech stuff protected.

Which screen protector are you using and where did you get it? Is it anti-smudge? I don't like the anti-smudge ones it makes the screen actually look like it has oil on it especially on white backgrounds.

Are phantom skinz, the rubbery type of screen protectors with the orange peel? Those aren't swype friendly either...

I currently have a Phantom Skinz on my phone and it is less rubbery and much less orange peel effect than Invisible Shield protectors. But yes, it is the same "type" as the Zagg.

Verizon AntiGlare Screen Protectors. Worst ever?

I have to say, these are the worst screen protectors I have ever applied on any sort of electronic equipment. Picture quality looks like garbage and it feels horrible. The matte finish makes them feel gritty and a pain to use the phone. Cheap eBay screen protectors work better.
Anybody else used them?
I bought them. I'm stupid for doing so. Rocking the Zagg now. I guess I feel smarter...
Yeah. I never bought them. I received the Fascinate in a trade and the person included an extra. At first I thought they were just horrible at applying screen protectors but then I applied the spare and it looked exactly the same. :/
My friends all have Verizon Screen Proctectors for their phones, and I have to agree, they look like complete crap. I've just been recommending Steinheil and Reallook to them, and they ask why, and I show them my screen. Almost invisible, its like the screen protector isn't even there, and my friends are shocked.

Zagg is worth it. Really is an "invisible" shield. Can't even tell it's there.
Sent from my Supersonic Desire HD using XDA App
Ehh, Zagg is ok. Really comes down to personal preference, but Zagg's matte look and feel isn't really what I would want in a screen protector. Steinheil's Ultra Crystal Clear Protector is amazing.
The Anti-glare screen protectors are garbage no matter where you get them from. I ordered some from ebay and LUCKILY I ordered some regular screen protectors as well and after about 5 mins with the anti-glare I took it off and trashed it and the others and put a regular one on.
Also, the mirror finish screen protectors are bad too
Yeah. That whole matte feel is not my deal. Honestly, cheap eBay screen protectors have been fine.for me with a perfect application and I am very picky about this stuff. I use invisible shields for their body shields though
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Agreed bought them when I had my Droid x and have to say "anti glare" is deffinately just a marketing ploy. If you take them back and tell them their crap they will give you a refund. That's what I did. I only reteerned two
OMG yes! Worst purchase I have ever made.

I too dont have a screen protector on mine even though i bought some and have them sitting in the desk..for some reason i think they will interfere with the sensitvity of the screen.
i made the mistake of buying two packs of verizon's screen protectors when i bought my phone. they were on clearance and i know why after trying one. they were horrible. i was reluctant to buy them even being on clearance after having sensitivity issues on my Rogue, but i figured if nothing else it would protect my screen until my online order of protectors showed up.
i use screen protectors that i bought off some random seller on ebay and they work fine. i get about 5 months or so of use from each one. very clear and no sensitivity issues. i dont know how necessary protectors are with the particular glass on Fascinates but i dont want to learn the hard way. i forget the protector is on there most of the time.

Exactly! But does everyone know that the Fascinate comes with Gorilla Glass, which is way tougher and scratch resistant? I am using mine "naked" so far, and no scratches yet.
So the screen looks great!
Anybody had any bad experiences going naked? (should I reword that? I don't want to hijack this thread!) Just looking for warnings about not using a screen protector.

I'm actually considering taking mine off, although the girl at Verizon actually did a good job of putting it on and mine is clear so I can't even really tell that it's there. But I definitely have more scratches on the screen protector than on the area around it (yay Gorilla Glass) and I'm wondering if the screen protector collects more fingerprints than the glass. Anyone know about that? I know some phones have oleophobic coatings but I'm not sure if the Fascinate is one of them.

The fascinate is not one of them, at least from my research.
I have thought about going naked. I am using the Steinheil Anti-fingerprint protectors for a number of reasons. I am sure no one here would like them because they degrade the screen quality but I love them. No finger prints, no glare, 2x faster finger motions (heh yea) across the protector vs. the stock screen.
I'd image that the screen is much like a car windscreen. It will look great for years to come but over time fine micro scratches will build up.
the screen protector they put on my phone came off by the time i got home from the store. heat must have warped it, and would no longer stick. ordered a different one online

UPDATE: Best screen protector! *look here*

I've used Clarivue screen protectors for my past 3 phones, and they have been the best. Used various screen protectors, from ZAGG to the ones from T-Mobile. None of them compare to the quality of Clarivue. The screen protectors are pretty much invisible and don't feel like plastic like most of the others do. Feels like your still sliding your finger across the glass screen
So check it out guys! I know it's for the O2X but I already ordered them for my G2X since it's the same hardware.
LG P990 Optimus 2X Screen Protector
UPDATE:
Alright guys... So the Clarivue was a bust. Sorry Anyways... disappointed with the Clarivue protectors I looked elsewhere, because I wanted TOTAL FRONT DOMINATION
Feel free to look http://www.bodyguardz.com/t-mobile-g2x-cases-screen-protectors-covers-shields-skins-films.html, best part is that you get 2 sets of protectors
I ordered the FULL BODY protectors... It's a wet apply protector, but has virtually NO orange peel like ZAGG and others do! High reduction in finger smudges also.
What I like most is that it protects the camera lens in the back, and the metal strip. I like the feel of the phone... So I only applied the protector to the Screen, metal strip in the back, and the camera lens... And I must say, I could not be happier!
I may try realook (clear as nothing and it's hard to scratch).

Not a lot to spend to make sure. Gorilla glass is scratch "resistant" not proof.

The Clarivue protectors are nearly invisible, and they feel like nothing is there. Not much to give up for some added protection. Gorilla grass is only scratch resistant, but you can damage it

Anybody have a good recommendation for an anti-glare screen protector? I'm not worried about damaging the glass (I always keep my phones in a belt case, not loose in my pocket), but reflections and fingerprints bother me a lot. For my original Nexus One, I surgically altered a Power Support screen protector intended for an iPod Touch, and that was quite good.

Gorilla glass + screen protector?

Quick question. This is my first gorilla glass device. I'm a device freak and need my g2x to stay in perfect condition. I haven't taken the screen protector off since I got it (23.)
I want to know if the screen protector is necessary and if so does it produce extra glare? (Its great right now in direct sunlight... but still...)
Also... does it prevent fingerprints without one? If not can I use rainx on it? (It works on my gtablet)

So my last phone had Gorilla Glass. I kept it in my pocket with keys and such, and dropped it pretty much monthly. After 18 months, the glass was pristine even as the rest of the phone was beat to hell. So I posted somewhere on this forum, in response to a question much like yours, that there's probably no need for a screen protector if you have Gorilla Glass. Except that I already have a scratch on my screen, and am going to be getting screen protectors for my G2x.
Shorter: Gorilla Glass is great, but not impervious.
After some more googleing its not gorilla glass (but it's something else like it dragon?) But does the g2x get fingerprints?

It has Gorilla Glass. Even the box says so.

I don't use a screen protector myself...but fair warning, if you can turn your pockets inside out and find tiny grains of sand in 'em you might want to get a screen protector. Sand can and will scratch glass. I live in Kansas so it's kind of a non-issue for me.
a screen protector is always a good first line of defense. It's also cheap. A lot better than spending a lot of money replacing a scratched screen (if you're nit-picky about it)

There are a lot of videos on youtube with people trying to scratch the optimus 2x & G2x. That being said, it's an inherent property of glass that allows it not to be scratched by metals. Explanation here.
I will say though, if you phone falls out of your pocket while riding a bike and skids on the pavement face down, the glass will get scratched like hell. I don't know if a screen protector would have helped, but I now have one on my new phone just in case.

For me, it's to get rid of the reflections off that shiny glass screen and reduce the icky fingerprints and smudges. I keep my phone in a belt case, so I'm not worried about scratches, but an anti-glare screen protector sure makes it easier to see what's on the screen.

screen protector

should I just get the screen protector from AT&T store?
Go naked, All the cool kids are doing it.....
i bought the iVisor from the store. works great on fingerprints & glare, but kinda dulls the screen. definite loss of clarity.
took it off at lunch today w/ the plan to return it...
then put it back on, and don't mind it as much.
dunno.
I got it and I can definitely agree with argylesocks on the clarity issue. To me though, losing a bit of clarity in favor of anti-glare doesn't bother me so I'd recommend that if you don't mind losing a little bit of clarity then grab the one from the ATT store.
i got the ivisor after i ntices a micro scratch on my screen. garilla glass is hard to scratch but i work around stuff that can cut hardened tool steel. occasionally something winds up in my pocket.
the ivisor is one of the better antiglare protectors i have seen but in general antiglare will effect the screen image. well it is a trade off. some can deal with it and some cant. there are many that are worse than this one. i would recomend it to anyone that wants a anti glare protector.

that dont mean it cant be scratched. i never scratched my captivate and i had it since august, but i did get a micro scratch on the infuse already, just got unlucky. it is barely visable but i know it is there. garilla glass vs hss and carbide doesnt help much. most people wont need a protector though
I went ahead and got the screen protector they had at at&t when I get my Infuse, in fact it was given to me free of charge because I switched from T-Mobile. I was going to get the invisible shield but this was much more convenient and free. And besides, I just like that piece of mind that I know my screen won't get scratched even though it has gorilla glass.

I got the att branded (case-mate) screen protector and hate it. It's matte surface and just looks terrible, takes away from the beauty of the screen. I'm going out to BB and another att store later to see if I can find any glossy screen protectors, otherwise I'm just gonna take this thing off.

As far as I know, Gorilla Glass is actually more brittle than regular glass and is easier to crack.. It's just more scratch resistant.

not true. it may crack with some stress risers(scratches in particular areas) but it is difficult to crack, though im sure some forms of plastic are more crack resistant.
it may be hard and you may think that makes it brittle but it actually has a huge amount of give before it breaks.

if you break it you might just be unlucky
I'm using the iVisor screen protector, mostly to help my fingers glide over the touchscreen surface smoothly. It works well for that purpose and doesn't dull the image too much. Fingerprints are far less noticeable too. Dust does get trapped at the edges of the screen protector though. Still, it's worth using IMO.

Screen Protectors?

Are screen protectors worth it? Or do they just leave smudges in the future when you take them off? I found a nice case on amazon that I'm going to buy for my infuse, I'm trying to figure out if screen protectors are worth it?
Anybody?
The Naked Shield screen protector came highly recommended by a folk here on the forums. You can either get the full cover or just the screen (I got the screen with the body glove TPU case)
and it won't leave smudges, affects screen quality, but not by much if at all.
edit: Got mine for $3.75 on ebay ($7.00 for the body glove case)
Thanks,
I'm just going to get the Amzer Silicone Skin Jelly Case, looks nice enough for a casing. I'm not going to use a screen protector though. I just don't want to leave any marks on the screen if it does.
I've found that unless you put your phone in your pocket with keys that you don't really need a screen protector.

casing or no casing? xD
These thread are kind of pointless. I can understand the value of asking which screen protector or case protector is or are better.
It will cost you $5 to protect a $400+ piece of equipment.
What happens if your phone does get scratched...too late for a screen protector.
Gorilla glass DOES get scratched.
Apply a matt screen protector or a good quality one done the right way and you wont even notice it.
Your assuming that there are no downsides of having a protector. All though screen protectors are cheap and work well. They do affect the screen quality regardless of how well you put it on and its quality. It's personal opinion on how much it affects it though.
IMO it doesn't hurt it too much and I have one on.

I'm sorry you feel that this thread is pointless. I apologize for creating it.
I should've restated my question better I guess. I know that some screen protectors leave smudges and stickiness on the actual screen when taken them off. I was wondering if there where any high quality ones out there that are worth it.

Thanks for the response.
If you're still looking for a screen protector I have the naked shield one. I just put it on my phone and it is great. It adds a rubbery finish but still slick when sliding. Unless you do a perfect application the screen does get imperfections that are noticible when looking at off angles (head on in low light it is not noticible)
I have an application with no bubbles and no dust and it looks great. But it is noticible.

With case. The back scratches way more easily than the screen.

No, i've never had a logo on my screen protectors and i've gotten many for the iphone and then for my infuse. Mine is starting to come up around the bottom of my screen now but Zagg offers lifetime warranties.
Hmmm, very interesting features of Zagg's protectors. But is it glossy or matte? I really don't like fingerprints on the sun, so matte protector may reduce this paintbrush effect

They may offer a matte finish i'm not sure, but mine is glossy so it does pick up fingerprints.
I have the zagg screnn protector too, and no it doesnt leave smudges if removed (only those cheap ones leave smudges/marks when removed) the zagg i got was supposed to be scratch proof...it got a scratch and since it has life time warrenty...i got it replaced-thats the only way i know that it leaves no residue
