screen protector

I upgraded 2 lines to the 4g and only kept one just in case it grew on me. I have a ton of issues that i do not like about it but oh well... Just wanted to post that i ordered some realook screen protectors from amazon and they work well with the 4g. They dont have the hole for the FFC so it will cover but to me, the camera doesnt have enough quality to notice. i took pics with the sp on and with the sp off and they look the same to me. Great sp and barely notice it is there.

Do you think a screen protector is necessary? It does have gorilla glass.

+1, not really needed

YES IT IS NEEDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gorilla glass still scratches and chips... my vibrant is proof. Has a good chip and many scratches that you can actually feel as you move your finger over them... and that's just from normal day to day use.

I scratched my vibrant up before... glass does scratch if u put it in the same pocket as ur keys. Lol

Zagg created a set of covers for this (that are apparently slightly different than the T959 versions) last week. They are supposed to ship this week. The name they gave it is:
Samsung Galaxy S 4G SGH-T959V​
I have not tried them on this phone, but am very happy with them on my wife's iPhone.
You may also want to try ProtectionFilms24 -- I have used them on my N900 and digital cameras with great success. Delivery to the US was generally within a week.
Update: Zagg just received their stock and shipped yesterday, March 10th.

I've taken keys to my SGS 4G screen... no scratches. Yeah I've only had it for a bit, but have you seen any of the Gorilla Glass demonstrations on youtube?

Maybe you didn't read the OPs responce... he had the vibrant (which has the same beloved "indestructible " gorilla glass of which you speak.... yet it somehow got scratches in the screen. Funny thing is despite this indestructible gorilla glass.... my vibrant also has many scratches from miss information that a screen protector is not needed.... I ensure you it is indeed needed. The demonstrations your mentioning are merely marketing and or fanboi-ism and are designed to show only the strengths and no weaknesses. Ask any iPhone user or vibrant owner... gorilla glass scratches!
OP zagg and realook are two great choices.

I just got some antiglares(not T-Mobile) and they are great. They apply easily and really reduce glare. The only problem is that they have a slight prism effect where you can see like tiny different colored crystals when the screen displays white or any semi bright color. Do any of the highend antiglares do that? I don't really mind the look but it sometimes really lowers the resolution of the screen.

I just installed the Zagg invisibleshield for the original Vibrant full protection one last night. Took a while to get the back corners correct but I like it.

Its scratch resistant yes, not scratch proof. However, I'll take my chances because I hate screen protectors.
Additionally, I had a G1 and never got a scratch on the screen either... but again it just depends on the situation.

hmmm
can anyone recommend one on ebay

If anyone is looking for a screen protector, check out best skins ever. They really are the best. I've tried zagg (gummy feel didn't like) tmobile (sucks) and a lot of ebay ones. The best skins ever screen protector doesn't attract fingerprints and grease at all and feels great. I honestly wouldn't notice it if I didn't put it on myself. I've put their protectors on all my devices. Best of all it's under 10 bucks! 6.99 for the front and 8.99 for the front and back. This isn't an ad if it sounds like one at all.. I'm just really happy with them.

I have the Zagg on my SGS4G but i prefer the Ghost Armour stuff myself. They just don't have any kiosks down here for me to get it.
And i don't trust myself to put them on plus if the place does it you get a lifetime warranty. So if it scratches or whatever they replace the SCREEN PROTECTOR. I had to be explained that they don't cover the device haha!

personally, i've always used zagg. i think that they do the job well. you have to wipe it down at least once a week because of the greasy buildup from your fingers, but to be honest, that it not really a problem. i have yet to scratch my screen and my phone has been through a lot. i would recommend zagg to anyone. the lifetime warranty is great and the fact that it is removable is even better. back when i used it for the vibrant, i just removed it and replaced it on the new one (i kept getting replacement phones because of GPS issues...even with the gps recovery app). if i stretched it or messed it up while moving to a new device, they replaced it no questions asked.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Yes you should make a search through the forum next time but since this thread is already up..
I highly recommend a ZAGG Invisible Shield screen protector. It costs a little more but its absolutely worth it. They have a model for each specific phone so the protector molds around the camera and corners perfectly. It comes with a whole method of putting it on so its smooth when you finish. Plus if you register the screen protector on their website you can pretty much get a replacement for free if anything happens to the protector which isn't likely but still (too scratched to see the screen or something), plus if that happens it peels right off so you can put another one on and the screen is good as new. But its pretty epically scratch resistant, you can check out vids on youtube or their website. I can't stand when my screens get scratched, so I've been using it for years, very happy customer. They sell them at best buy.

Thanks for heads up guys. Much appreciated

These. They have great reviews. I am very happy with mine. Doing it's job well since July 2011. And it comes in a pack of 3 in case you mess up. And it comes with installation instructions. And, for giving them a good review, they offered to send me a pack of screen protectors free. So I got a pack of iPhone covers for my parents. Great company, great product
BTW if you mess up, soaking it in rubbing alcohol works great for removing dust and then you just try again and squeegee with a credit card.

It does have gorilla glass. When the phone originally came out it was on corninggorillaglass.com under products with gorilla glass. Now since it is old news it is off the site, but seeing as every major samsung phone is there like the GS, GSII, note, tab, and wp phones, I am sure the charge has it.

Without screen protector, you droid Charge will get scratch. Already happened to my daughter's phone.

I have never managed to scratch a smartphone screen, Gorilla Glass or not, and I've had smartphones since the original iPhone. I hate screen protectors of all forms. I hate the way the look and the way they feel, so I've never used one for more than a few days. I don't think I'm particularly "gentle" on a phone...the only thing special I do is keep it in a pocket by itself. I've seen other people's phone of various builds covered in scratches, and I still don't understand how they get so scratched up.

Doesn't matter what type of glass it has, it can get scratched. And not having a screen protector doesn't mean it will get scratched either. The Charge does have Gorilla Glass, but I wouldn't go around testing it out to see how tough it is. Odds are there are minimum hardness specs that it needs to pass, so some pieces of glass are harder than others.

I had mine in my pocket with keys for a year, no scratches. the plastic is scratched to heck, but the glass remains unscathed.

the charge has gorilla glass making it very scratch/crack resistant. i havent had a screen protector the whole time ive had it, which is about 10 months and it still looks brand new. and trust me, ive dropped it my fair share of times, infact i just dropped it earlier today. had it in my sweater pocket while i was riding my bike and it just flat out fell screen first onto the concrete. not even 1 little scratch.
just dont bother with a screen protector, it looks so much better without one.
but if you really are hell bent on getting a screen protector i can recommend Zagg, i had the enV Touch before this phone for 2 years with a Zagg invishield on the whole time. it kinda got that "rainbow" effect from the grease/sweat on your hands but it was very durable and scratch resistant with a nice fit. overall a perfect screen protector for my needs.

So everyone brag about how tough the screen on the charge, how would you explain to me there are 3 scratches on my daughter phone, which forced me to buy a screen protector???? you all claimed it "UN SCRATCHABLE".

I think you're the only person who's used the word unscratchable, but I did imply that you have to be careless to scratch a glass smartphone screen. Keeping my phone in a pocket by itself, and no other protections, has protected my screens without a screen protector since the original iPhone in 2007. Yes, there are situations where a screen protector would make sense, but in those situations, I'd probably rather use a case/holster that completely covered the screen.
