I scratched my captivate twice somehow and it distorts my screen. Although gorilla glass is good it's not perfect.

Yea, but that's anti-glare and I heard those aren't clear.
I looked at a T-mobile gs2 and the top is more rounded on that one. Anyone have any ideas?

ZAGG almost always has covers for most devices a head of the curve... might try there
I just picked up two Skyrockets. Nothing from Zagg yet, but seems like the "EPIC 4G Touch" should work just fine. Picked up 2 of them also. Now I'm looking for covers.... hmm...
The skyrocket's bottom looks a tad bit more curved than the epic 4g. Have you tested it yet and does it look like a perfect fit?

Thanks very much.
I got the iVisor AG at the AT&T store when I got the phone (along with the Otter Box Impact Series silicone sleeve). These were expensive ($25 each) but I talked the CSR into giving me 25% off so I went ahead and got them.
The case is great, fits perfectly and not too bulky. The screen protector is a fine matte, not as grainy as most AG types but there is an annoying black mask around the edges and the 4 holes in the mask for the capacitive buttons are about 3mm too high so the buttons are not in the centers of the mask and part of the word "SAMSUNG" peeks through. Annoying but no big deal. I'd rather have the protection but I'm ANAL about my stuff and scratches drive me NUTS. The screen protector fits perfectly around the perimeter and earpiece/sensors BTW.
So, Ok... I just went to TMobile and bought a BodyGlove case, (already have the Silicone Otterbox from AT&T)... but I really likes this white case and well... there's two things... the speaker and the output is covered by the case.. in the fact that I DONT USE HEADPHONES... I don't care. But the speaker worried me a little so before to buy I put the case on the cellphone and I make a call to my self, and VOULA! Its sound just barely the SAME as without the cover, $32.30 and I'M happy !! My sister have the GSII from TMO I grab a screen protector from her ($16 for 2) and It fits ok, the Skyrocket is a little more bigger....
So, am happy
Accessories for this phone has been such a pain... I bought that screen protector and i hated it cause of the samsung logo peeking through and it takes away so much detail from the screen.
I have yet to find a nice case for my phone too!

Try the TMO version! (is not anty-glare is very clear)
I've got several scratches in my Cappy, so I'm going to get a clear screen protector as well. It's going to have to be really clear though - I hate the darn things. Maybe I'm just hard on phones, but Gorilla glass didn't seem all that great to me. Fortunately I don't notice the scratches with the display on, except one in the upper right quadrant.
I do like my Otter case, but I do want a hard case once one comes out that fits the phone properly.
I wish cargo pants fit a professional dress code. I'm one front pants pocket short of being able to carry everything. One pocket is reserved for, ah, something that goes into a different type of holster.
I did! And they said it wouldn't fit my phone so they refused to sell it to me :/

why would you even have a n1 without a screen cover in the first place? im sure you were being too rough forcing the case onto the phone anyways.
Had this case on my N1 for about 3 months. Took it off, and it had scratched the **** out of the top and bottom of the front metal bezel.
Havent put it back cause I was quite annoyed that a case thats supposed to protect actually caused damage.

Isn't the inside of the case covered in velvet? Is it possible that the case was loose on your phone which caused your phone to slide around in it?

msavic6 said:

Yes the flat inside rear surface of the case is velvet and should not scratch anything. However the velvet does not continue around any of the four sides. This means that over time grit can collect and eventually as madchild1 mentioned it is likely to scratch the top and bottom end of the phone.
I have had an innocase II fitted for nine months now and fortunately only some superficial rub marks on the ends. Because I use my phone in the Nexus car dock a lot I am forever popping it in and out of the innocase. This means dust and grit does not accumulate tothe point where I am badly effected. Good idea to remove the innocase weekly and clean out any grit to prevent damage. It only takes a second to pop off.

Wow, can you post a picture? I've had my Innocase II since the first week I got the phone. I take it on and off all the time because I worry about heat buildup in the car running GPS...
I wonder if your case was defective. I looked at mine and can't see where it would rub like that. I actually just ordered the Rugged Add-on for this case as I am often in austere environments.

Ah, that's probably why I have also not had damage. I can certainly see how the case would scratch the phone if anything abrasive got between case and phone.
I have to say that I've been very pleased with this case. I also had one on my previous phone, an HTC Raphael (AT&T Fuze) and loved that one too.

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...

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"?

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.

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.

I have found Ghost Armor to be the best. Available installed at most malls.
The ones I have tried are the "dry" application type and because of the way the screen is curved it seems to peel up on the edges constantly, and having a case on just worsens the situation. Do the wet application protectors work better? Like Invisible shield? What have you guys foound that works well and stay putt especially on the sides?
My Zagg is working great. I have the front and back covered with it. No peeling at all and really nice.

I have the AT&T Branded Dry Application one.
It doesn't cover the sides so it doesn't peel up. However the small side bezel is not protected. It covers everything else though.
I got 6 of them for $12 at the AT&T store since the guy applying it screwed up
Also this should be in the Accessories section...

I just put the XOSkin on mine and I really really like it. Very easy to put on, is totally invisible and covers the whole screen. Since it covers the entire screen, you literally cannot tell there is a protector on it. Absolutely no bubbles, bumps or streaks. Easily the best I've ever used.
Would any of you who have either the XOSkin or the Skinomi be able to tell me if the full body skin covers the glossy sides of the body? I've seen some that only come up to the lip of the matte and not all the way around, so I am trying to figure if either of these do. Thanks!
Sorry, mine is screen only.
Xoskin full body doesn't protect glossy sides

Didn't like the AT&T one because it was anti glare or something . Not completely clear. The new dry zagg is ok. If you use any case that overlaps the glass it will lift the zagg up. My favorite was the one that came with my nillken. Left a little area on the edge of the glass unprotected so all of my cases worked fine.
Have always used "bestskinsever" on all my devices. So much cheaper than the others and quality is great.
Used Skninomi and wasn't too impressed. I used this eBay seller before getting a screen protector for my GS II Skyrocket. They are selling a three-pack for less than $2 and the quality is awesome

I've got the Zagg HD on the front and the Zagg standard on the back. It's a great combination. Even though it doesn't cover the entire glass section of the phone it's still completely invisible, no orange peel, and works great with cases. Honestly I feel that this setup with a case is better than any other method of protection for this phone.

Hey y'all, noob here, just got my One S the other day, and just got my Diztronic case from Amazon today, love it! Those screen protectors that come with it are crap tho, and was looking into the Ghost Armor. I've had unpleasant results with the Zagg shields in the past, and the Ghost Armor seems to be pretty popular.
One other question, is anyone using the full-body GA skin in addition to a regular case, such as the Diztronic or Incipio? Just curious. Thanks!

I've never had the ghost armor full body, but I did had zagg full body and it didn't peel up. Once you let it dry it sticks pretty well, just don't put a case on it for at least 24 hours maybe more to let it dry.
I'd imagine Ghost Armor would be better, their screen protector is soooo much better than Zagg's.
I actually need to get a replacement from Ghost Armor, for some reason the bottom part keeps wanting to come up.
I´am using the antireflex protector from mumbi and i´am very happy with it. Feels good and looks really pretty.
how it looks GhostArmor Clear for the back ? any pic ?
i'm surprised no one mentioned htc's own screen protector for the one s. there are a few sellers on ebay from uk selling them. i picked up a couple awhile ago for about USD$9 shipped.
Got my Ghost Armor (screen only) today, and just applied it. Took 2 tries, but I nailed it on the second attempt, got it perfectly lined up. I've been going back with the little squeegee and squishing out some of the smaller little bubbles over the last hour or so, and as long as you get the squeegee wet, it works pretty well to smooth out the little guys. So far, I like it a lot, doesn't have that rubbery-drag feel of the Zagg I had on my G2, or the orange peel. I'll report back in a day or so to update.

I got a KRUSELL screen film for my one S a couple of days ago and I'm thrilled with it. It is completely transparent and does not affect in any way the brightness and colors, and it doesn't have that squeaky feel.
I had an invisible shield on my previous Desire for about 8 months, it's good if you are a frequent phone dropper but if not it makes your screen uglier, it's like heaving sweat on it all the time and also affects the touch sensitivity.
All in all, would definetly recommend the Krusell.
Alright, so I made it about 5 days, and I think I'm ditching the screen protector. Yes, the peace of mind of the added protection is nice, but to be honest, I'm not really worried about it enough to keep this. I had my HTC G2 for almost 2 years, which didn't even have Gorilla Glass, and by the time I sold it, it had ONE hardly noticeable scratch in the top-left corner of the screen.
The Ghost Armor goes on relatively simple enough, but in 3 applications, I've found it impossible to keep at minimum 2-3 specks of dust out from under it when I go to smooth it down, which create a bubble you CANNOT get rid of, and I can feel them under my fingertips when scrolling around on the screen. For someone as anal as myself when it comes to things like this, these make my head want to explode. I'm also noticing around the edge of the film (which doesn't extend all the way to the edges of the screen, and I find this to be really lame), it's gathering dust and finger... gunk. Finally, and I might be alone in this, but I think it takes the sharpness of the display away. Not to a hugely noticeable amount, but it's there, and it bugs the hell out of me.
Any nice cases that are comparable to outerbox but with a lens protector?

I tried the 'Greatshield AG' (product title on Amazon below, can't link since I'm newb.) - 3 pack for like $7.
Sucks. Feels and performs great, but causes a pixellated rainbow 'shimmer' on the screen, highly annoying. Might try some of the others in this thread to see.
Avoid these.

I think all matte protectors do that to the One S, I've tried a few different types and they've all been the same.
Looks like gorilla glass 5 scratches like no other, so I figured this thread could help others with reviews and recommendations. I saw gpel made an all clear cover, and there's a few similar ones on Amazon. I'll try to update as we get some more time to check quality.

Are there any for the back of the phone yet? Gorilla Glass 5 scratches so easily I think I want tempered front and back (I prefer no case).

I'd personally go for a slickwraps or dbrand skin for the back of you don't like cases. It'll protect it, and you can get something like a leather to still keep the premium look.
thank you for thread , i hope we found soon good protectors
I hope someone will test out some of the crap on eBay, because I sure as hell am not going to pay 50+ dollars for a screen protector.
I ordered this one personally.

I can leave a review on it once I try it out. I'm hoping that a clear protector will function better than the painted ones I've used with the S7E.

Try it out and let us know. If the one I get isn't that great I'll return it and try something else until I find something that is good enough.
Hi Y´all!
I ordered this one yesterday:
https://shop.brando.com/brando-workshop-full-screen-coverage-curved-glass-protector-samsung-galaxy-note7-transparent_p14575c1547d8.html
I´ve had good experience with Brando for the screen protector for my old trusty SGN3.
But the shape of the screen on the SGN7 has got to be a challenge.
On a flat screen a 10TH of a mm / 5 100TH of an inch doesn´t matter.
Here the shape has to be just right for the sticky coating to make a bubble & distortion free experience.
I saw a screen protector review on Youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQXq0ewUJtU
This product tried to handle small differences in curvature etc. by only applying sticky coating on the edges.
I would have to agree with reviewer. That doesn´t work.
With 20/20 hindsight I might have thought to ask Brando about this before making the order - Oh well :fingers-crossed:
Regards
Elo
Can't wait to see the results!!

Yeah. I bought one of those but I think it will be exactly as crappy as the YouTube video above shows. Time to look for some plastic variant... ???

Anyone find one for the back yet?

I got this one. It's terrible. Doesn't sit flush, doesn't stick well cos there's only glue around the edges, and not enough of it, doesn't have cut outs for all the optics on the top. I also got a standard screen protector as well, an iqshield, and that's what is on my phone now.

I ordered the same one. Hopefully it will work well.
On the other hand, I currently have a Skinomi one on mine (wet application). I'm using masking tape to hold down the edges as it dries and adheres. So far it's almost invisible because I took my time. No rubbery feel either. If my case works well with it I might not even install the glass one.
Leaving the plastic sticker on the back glass for now, though.
Edit: Just read the comment above mine regarding the same TGSP
FFS enough with the tempered glass screen protectors. They all suck and will always suck.

Sucks to hear. I've got an IQ shield as well for a backup just in case.

I think I might go with a skinomi cover for the back of mine. Not sure which color will look best with the coral blue.

So far the IO shield full body is doing its job on mine. Looks good. I have this glass one on order and it should be here today. I'm hesitant on pulling the IO shield off because it's doing it's its job but I have had glass for the last 3 phones and never had a break / scratch. They work much better than plastic.

Lol I meant to write "whose owned". Just got up, sorry.
Either way if I see the screen protector has that tape only on the sides I'll probably just return it.
