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"?
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.

I have the Realook screen protector on my phone and I am not happy with it. I am going to replace it with Zagg. Check out their demonstration videos, it really works.

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.

Does anybody have any recommendation for a case? Will the Vibrant cases work?

Hole for FFC?
Should the screen protector have a hole for the ffc?

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.
My fiance bought the s4 today and of course needed a case and screen protector. She got her case but when i saw they wanted $20 to $25 for screen protectors i put her S3 next to her S4 and eyed the screens up and told em no thanks ill pu one of my extra S3 ones on. He looked at me with a confused look lol. Anyway got home got one of my ebay screen protectors and it fit just fine. Its not %100 perfect but id say about %95. From the home button up to the top of the screen its perfect. But the protector i used didnt cover the led indicator or sensor. Ill take some pics when she gets back. The reason im posting this is to maybe save some people from buying the over priced ones in stores. If you put it on and dont lime the fit it will atleast hold you over until you can find cheaper

Good call, when I was getting mine at the sprint store they tried to sell me some super overpriced screen protectors. I know I'll probably end up buying a nice one online eventually once the accessories get rolling out but for the meantime I'll grab one of my many cheap S3 screen protectors laying around ahaha!

I also used a S3 screen protector saved me some cash.
I think the better advice is to never buy screen protectors (or any other accessories, really) in stores. It's almost always much cheaper online.
Zagg has the one for the S4 out - got it on ebay for $13.84.
I got 3 screen protectors for $3

In germany, we have this one working very good:
MediaDevil-Magicscreen Galaxy S4 @ amazon
Did not find that in US-Store
If any of you are familiar with Mercury screen protectors, they are having a sale for the S4 right now. They come in different colors

Might stick with Xtremeguard for a cheap screen protector.

Lol. Thats because its anti glare, any anti glare screen protectors would do that. And I do have Xtremeguard but I prefer mercury over it any day.

Lol I didn't really read it that much. Most cheaper screen protectors will have some sort of orange-peel tint or matte like this. I guess if they didn't charge $3 for shipping it might be worth a shot because the reviews aren't bad on it. I said Xtremeguard because they're like $1 right now shipped.

Theyre really not bad, I had to use one for my S3 because I hated the blue color of it. But yeah, I bought from xtremeguard too, got them for $3, two full body. The reason why I bought mercury right now as well is because in yhe.next few weeks I know theyre going to higher up the price to around $10. I would say its a good deal now.

That yellow looks good. I would scoop one up if I didn't hate matte protectors.
I just ordered the Black/Matte... I'm currently using a regular matte screen protector (no color/border), so this should help the front better match the black/leather replacement battery back I'm using (as well as the black carbon fiber batter cover I have on the way).
Can anybody re-direct me into buying the best glass screen protector for the Note 4? I purchased one on Amazon for £9 which supported 2.5D edges but it still has some horrible Halo effect going round the sides and isn't full sized at all. Would prefer to buy it from Amazon UK or any other UK store, not really wanting to use eBay. Cheers!
I am liking nuglas. It has some halo but it's not terrible. Some people have reported no halo.

I'm using a Moshi iVisor which I got from MobileFun:

Thanks for the help, I don't think I'll drop £30 on one but there seems to be a nice range of options on Mobilefun with good recommendations!

The link takes you to the s6 edge tempered glass. Be careful that you don't buy the wrong one because it won't fit the plus lol
