Does the Zagg screen protector ruin the screen's appearance at all? I got the anti-glare ones from Verizon but they have that grainy and rainbowy effect. Thanks!
Nope. I am using one right now,and it looks perfect. I would recommend going into the store and letting them do it, but then again l am lazy. I love Zagg stuff and it looks great on my charge. My xoom too.

Why do you need a screen protector with gorilla glass?

Just to be safe. I don't want dirt/dust particles to get stuck into the screen.
I think Zagg works great. Plus you can get free replacements if you order one from Zagg.com. If you're interested here's a discount for 20% off your order
i had best buy put mine on. thats where i bought it. to this day a month later i still have a orange peel look to the screen when you look at it from a angle. is this normal for the zagg screen protectors. ive heard yes and no so i have no clue. this is the first time using the product

It's funny you say that, I've noticed the same thing! The first one I put on was on my iPod Touch, and I thought "well that's funny, it looks like the surface of an orange peel." Now I have one on my charge and it's the same. I love it though, it cleans easily, free replacements, and I have full confidence in it.

Anyone else using the sprint screen protectors for their epic? I just bought a pack and I'm really disappointed with them. They are just big enough to cover the screen it self. So there is no margin for error when putting them on. Also I think they are supposed to be anti-glare so make the beautiful screen of my epic hazy and almost pixelated. Any suggestions for decent clear screen protectors?
Does the epic really need a screen protector? I thought the screen was made from some super durable stuff?

i know i made the sprint people put one on
i can take the hazyness until i get my skinomi
i recommend skinomi
Its still plastic and there are a lot of things that can scratch plastic.

I took mine back for a refund. They just cost too much and made the screen feel unatural. They let me keep the one I had installed already until my new protectors came.

People have been saying that the skinomi ones are too long I think... I'd recommend the phantom skinz one since I've had no problem, they have a cut out for the sensors and camera (which the skinomi does not have) and they have a lifetime guarantee.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
this is the one im talking bout i ordered one it has lifetime replacements and openings for the sensors and cam it is awesome on the htc hero so i hope it continues
Well, all I know is that at least the first batch of Skinomis didn't turn out so well. See this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=746037
Too long, but possibly good customer service? And like I said, no cutouts for the lights/sensor/camera. Skinomi has gotten plenty of good reviews for other phones, but for some reason the ones for the Epic haven't been well received.
the site i posted showed a different pic check it out
The Sprint ones are total crap. Took mine back a few hours after I bought them.
yes they are but fools wont take it back cuz i used one
Screen protectors are a waste of your money on this phone

I suppose the people with scratches on their glass already would disagree.
I work in dusty, dirty environments. Any phone of mine is getting protection.

Yup! I am no doubt in the minority but I have managed to scratch my screen. It was in strange circumstances having to do with hiking on a trail (and I hardly ever hike, less have my phone out...) but scratchedy it went. No 20ft heights or bouncing. Just fell face down from my pocket on a dirt path with a pebble somewhere in there. They're not invincible, people.
lol unless ur doing stuff like that you dont need a protector
under normal use pocket car table things like that no but if ur roughing it why not protect it and get a skinomi

Scratched mine easily... I have 2g steel plugs on my lobes, and the first time i heard them click against the screen I knew I'd have a problem. sure enough, there are tiny scratches from where my ear hit the screen. My fault for not putting a protector on sooner.
Also managed to put a little hairline scratch down by the menu button, but i have no clue how i did that.
I'm a little afraid of my phone getting scratched, but ill only get one If it doesn't affect the functionality. So should I get one?

YES!!! you should definitely get one. Gorilla Glass is VERY durable, but it's not scratch proof.
A lot of people swear by the Steinheil Ultra Clears (i used one of my two so far, just didn't put it on to good)
I'm now using a ZAGG, and I like it just fine... Not sure which I prefer, i know i did like the slick surface on the Steinheil better. The Zagg has an orange peel effect..
It would be good to get one that isn't very flimsy, but not very thick. I also want one that my finger won't get caught on, I always leave huge smudges sometimes on my screen.
Coming from an HTC touch pro 2 to the Mesmerize the gorilla glass is GREAT! I did get a free screen protector with my otterbox so that's what I'm using. I used to have a invisible shield on but I took it off as I didn't care for the texture. I like the smooth screen protector that came with the otterbox.
I've used Phantom Skinz for my last 2 phones. they work good for me.
I stopped using a screen protector because I work in a restaurant, so I always text with semi oily fingers. I find the screen protectors are a ##### to clean! However, the screen cleans very easily with a bit of hand Sanitizer and a soft rag.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I used a Phantom Skinz and it works rather well. It does orange peel a bit, but nothing a quick rub on the shirt doesn't fix.
The screen protectors do their job but make it ugly in my opinion.
Oh wait, I only used the one they sent in from cell south store so maybe you can find a good one.

Just wanted to put this out there, I haven't had any sort of case or screen protection since I bought the phone 3 months ago, and I only have one tiny hairline scratch in it that you can hardly even see.
I keep mine in my pocket most of the time, but I've trained myself to not keep anything else in that pocket....

No screen protector on mine either and only one tiny scratch that can only be seen when holding at certain angle. mine is always in my pocket too but I am starting to notice a spot where the screen is showing some wear from sliding around and in and out of my pocket. I am going to invest in a screen protector by the end of the month with some b day cash

i'm telling you if you get a Steinhel, you won't even realize it's on there!!!
Just be VERY careful, and make sure your screen is SPOTless when installing!!!

Do these make the display look foggy or less sharp like the Verizon Anti-Glare screen protectors do? I am looking for something crystal clear like what I have on my original droid.

I keep thinking that someday somebody will make a phone with a non-glossy screen, and save me the insanity. Guess not. I got the 3 pack of anti-glare covers, and struck out with applying them. Each time I got atiny peice of lint underneath that made my OCD go nuts.

I have to agree, they aren't nearly as good as the OP said they are. The screen looks like it has thousands of tiny dots on it now, hardly invisible.
Would anyone have a extra unused screen protector that i may have? :/ i dont want to buy it locally for $6 and i dont want to buy it from china because they usually make it either too big or too small. Thanks.....

Yeah exactly, that's the reason I dumped Invisible Shield. That's why I get the cheapest ones from China. No gimmick to em, they're just clear plastic sheets that fits perfectly, so that I don't lose the quality of the IPS.
Why even use a screen protector? It makes sense if you're working in a very dusty or greasy environment, or if you walk around with rocks or screws in your pockets. Aside from that, I see no reason for it.

This person gets it. I used to had cheap protector from ebay. I recently took it off and screen of G2x is beatiful.
But I only carry phone in my right pocket and keys in left pocket. Heh

I agree. I think they're more of a hindrance than a benefit. I've tried some before and never found one that didn't degrade the screen clarity.

Are they selling them in UK? As the last time I contacted them they advised to wait until someone starts reselling them but not sure if anyone has. But yes I've read that they are pretty good screen protectors.
As to knight screen protectors - its the first time I've heard of them from this thread but would be interested to see how they perform and if they are actually any good.

Yeah the guy sells them in the UK and posts worldwide. Will need to do an in depth review since no one seems to have heard of them. I should receive them either today or tomorrow.
I've got one on my n4. Good full screen coverage, really easy to apply. Quite gummy in use, but not too bad. I've got it on front and back. Only problem is that my poetic bumper case makes the corners and edges detach so I can't use it anymore. I do prefer the size without the bumper, but its a shame I can't protect the sides.

EDIT - I refitted the protector as I had an annoying small hair stuck under it. I got it more central this time and the poetic bumper fits fine with no edge raising or affecting the adhesion. I've tried a couple of different wet types on other devices - this one is by far the best.
I've just fitted one tonight on my LG G2. Will post in a couple of days what I think of it. At the moment it looks a little pants but that may just be down to the way I fitted it. :laugh: Lots of bubbles that I'm hoping will disappear in time. Back looks great though.
I'm generally pleased with my screen knight however I wonder if anybody has tried to take one off ater it's dried out. I'm a little concerned it may not lift well?
Thanks for the tip, I'm also going to try out this one.
