Screen protector recommendation??

I've been through 2 different screen protectors now on my Eris and can't say I was overwhelmed with either. First was the ones Verizon sells. seemed durable but smudged waaay too easy IMHO. Second was off Ebay...part of a package deal with a charger, case, yada, yada. Already scratched to death in spite of reasonable care. Anyone tried one they're extremely impresed with that has stood the test of time (so far) and doesn't cost a ridiculous price?

I think without a screen protector is just fine, the screen protectors can scratch (unlike the screen) and can get WAY to many fingerprints

I also tried the ones from Verizon and one from ebay.
Verizon ones were ok but I kept getting annoyed when going up past the top since it doesn't exactly conform to the actual glass shape.
The ebay ones were the soft type which I really didn't like it almost made the screen sticky feeling?

Can you take some pics of your phone showing the protector? (or not showing it rather)

I'll see if I can get one up tomorrow

I bought this one for my wife and I, and I'm very satisfied with it.
accessorygeeks.com/htc-droid-eris-s6200-hq-screen-protector.html
It goes on with ease, fits perfectly, and cleans easily with the included reusable wipe.

I've read in a few other places that the Zagg is a little too grippy and doesn't allow your finger to slide easily enough. Your thoughts about this??

I have a zagg, its ok. Ive only ever used zagg because thats what I can buy at work....The only complaints about the zagg would be smudging and fingerprinting.

the zagg is a little grippy at first but you'll get the hang of it. It does tend to hold finger prints

screen protectors? bah!
The droid eris, along with many many other smartphones use gorilla glass, I actually take pride trying to etch away my screen with my set of keys to show off to my friends with phones that dont have gorilla glass.
I have taken razor blades to this thing... seriously... not a single scratch.
and best of all, the eris itself is all rubberized plastic, which if it get's scratched you cant even tell. Had this thing in my pockets with keys and lighters and such and not a bloody scratch anywhere on it.

I just got the Zagg screen protector at BB. It's only been half a day so It's not completely dry yet but I can tell it's going to be perfect. It will take a little getting used to as it's not as smooth feeling as being naked, but I feel pretty good about having bought it.

After seeing the video, I don't use a screen protector at all. I do use a Otterbox Impact case but found that it interferes with the screen sensor. With that said they are sending me a new one for free to see if it's just my particular case.

Personally.. i have the AMZER Privacy screen protector.. pretty amazing.

ive since removed my invisible shield and wow its much better without a screen protector.

Yep. Best made IMHO

I've used Zagg on two of my previous phones. Yrs I loved them and was well with the money. Since I got my Eris, I decided to go with something else. I came across "Phantom Skinz". Apparently it's the same materials Zagg uses but made better. This Phantom Skin has a more smoother feel to it and has less friction when sliding your finger on the screen. I would recommend it over the Zagg any day!

i have a Invishield, fits the screen perfect. Ive tried poking a hole with a pen, scratching it, etc. The thing holds up great. Guaranteed for life. It does show finger print though, but so does the screen without a protector.

Me too.............

My dad has an iPhone given to him by his office as a work phone, and it came with a screen protector that I have never seen before. I would liken the feel of it to satin as opposed to the glossy Verizon protectors. Does anyone know what kind of screen protector this is, and is it available for the Eris?

ZAGG shields are made of some bad ass type of film. They are "self healing" somehow. There is a video of guy taking a dremel tool to one of them and it doesn't even phase the shield! I have a full body cover for my N1 and love it!

Wow purchased, only bought one hope i dont f*k up the application process

Personally I dont like the zagg screen protectors. I had one for my g1. While they are pretty much indestructible I dont like the feel of them. They have a sticky feeling to them that makes it a bit harder to use. I like my cheapo 3 for 2 dollar ebay one better. My ebay one is harder and feels more like the actual screen. But its not as resilient as the zagg and already has some scratches on it but for the price i can just swap it out.

May be in the minority here, but I don't use protectors anymore. Haven't for a long time. These type of protectors feel very different than the normal ones. They are more 'rubbery' feeling. I have dedicated a pocket for my phone so nothing scratches the screen and this has worked well for me over the months.
Anyway, they are not a cinch to install. The first one was for my fathers iphone, and it was the zagg. It didn't last very long, within a couple weeks, the corners for the back piece were peeling bad. I've since installed 3 others, but purchased from http://www.bestskinsever.com. If you are going to use this type of protector, I highly recommend them. Their whole body kit's regular price is below that of the zagg sale price (although the screen only sale price from zagg is great).
This could be attributed to the fact that I learned more as I applied more, but the bestskinsever pieces stayed much longer than the zagg. The first bestskinsever I installed was on my mother's 1st iphone. Her phone later broke, and I peeled off the bestskinsever protector (misting it with a little solution) and re-applied it to the new phone. Several months later, she dropped that phone in water. I peeled the screen protector off a 2nd time, and put it on her replacement after that. Still on it today, lol.
Best advice I can give is to not get carried away with the solution. Err on the side of not enough. It will dry faster, and will hold much stronger.

I problem I run into with the Zagg skins is that they never seem to fit properly. They always seem to extend too far in at least one spot, and I've tried them on three different phones now (BB Curve, Palm Pre, and now my N1). I kept trying them cause I know in terms of protection, they work, but assumed I was doing it wrong before. Now I just put my phone in a case and get the screen only skin.

So you are using the ZAGG screen only skin? Do the screen only skins extend too far as well? Thanks

Sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't. If it is too large, it's only by maybe a millimeter, not a big deal when it's just a screen cover.

Zagg is a terrible product imo

Screen protectors, which ones are the best?

So i have the two pack from Tmobile that they sold me comes with anti-smudge ones, but they are getting scratched up rather quick, are there any more scratch resistant protectors or @ 2/$15 are these good?

I use Invisable Shield by Zagg and its sweet, touch works the same after its on, i think it helps glare from the sun but maybe thats just me. But make sure you read the instructions, make sure its placed just right the first time, if you take it off and try to place it again after it sets the first time its gonna be super hard to place it just right again, good luck on that one... but overall i think its an awesome protector, it has a lifetime guarantee too!

I'm currently using the Skinomi screen protector, and it works perfectly. No finger drag when using the screen, and they have a lifetime warranty. To test this, I emailed them and said that my screen protector already have a huge noticeable scratch on it, and they just asked for my shipping information and sent me a completely new package! Wonderful customer service, I recommend it.

Yep, rockin the Skinomi as well. It's excellent.

There are so many available! I like Zagg, but I hate that they charge $5 for a replacement, and they peel mad fast!

I use best skins ever and would never use anything else. They don't peel easy, don't charge a lot for shipping, are pretty cheap, and pretty scratch resistant. Kept my Nexus One in perfect condition from day one.

I have Zaggs Invisible shield on my Z. Very durable(it will most likely outlast the phone itself). Maby a little pricey if you compare it to the cheap ones, but in the other hand the phone is quite expensive too. Fitting the is easy as long as you follow the insructions.

I have a Zagg one on my Z like some others here. I had one on my G1 from day 1 as well, and it is still on it and scratch free. The varnish is peeling off all over the rest of the phone, but the screen is perfect. It is a shame they charge so much, but it is worth the money. I had the peeling problem with the body of my G1, but the screen stayed on just fine, so I just bought the screen protector for the Z.

I used Zagg in the past on many different devices and it is a great product. Protection is top notch but for touch screen devices, the protector is a little thick for my tastes. Don't like the way my finger 'drags' on the screen with the ZAGG.
Currently have the Skinomi on my DZ. Works excellent. Same amount of protection, a little thinner and the touch feel is great. Can't even tell that there is a protector on the screen. Lifetime warranty, haven't had to use it yet. After 3+ months still looks the same as the day I installed it. Highly recommend.

I started with a Zagg full body... hated the way it felt on the screen.
Replaced it with a Skinomi, it feels great but it's got pretty scratched up in the month and a bit I've had it installed.
I have a Clairvue sitting around here which I'll stick on once the Skinomi scratches start to annoy me... will report back then.

+1 Zagg
I started using their Invisible Shields on my G1 and it still looks great. I've gotten a few replacements and haven't had any issues with the warranty.
One issue (and this probably happens with all full body covers) is that the rounded corners eventually lift up a little and collect lint. It's not too bad with the G2, but the G1 had some pretty tough corners to cover.

I have to agree with guys and +1 for Zagg. I bought one of these the same day I purchased my Desire Z:
The precision pre-cut invisibleSHIELD applies directly to your HTC Desire Z creating a full-screen cover providing the toughest, most durable protection you will find on planet earth. The invisibleSHIELD has its origins in the U.S. military, where it was used to protect the leading edge of high-speed helicopter blades from dust, dirt and debris. Now you can use that same powerful technology to protect your Device. Our exclusive, patented nano-memory technology film covers and shields your device, always keeping it as pristine and shiny as the day you took it out of the box.
The invisibleSHIELD is only .2 millimeters thick making it the slimmest skin or cover of its kind. It is so tough that we back it with a lifetime guarantee. So, if it ever does wear or scratch, ZAGG will replace it for free, for the life of your device. And if you ever need to remove the invisibleSHIELD, no problem; it comes off clean and leaves no sticky residue.

This shield is amazing and I have never had any problems. I had the professionals at the store install the shield as well, so they guaranteed that their installation would produce zero bubbles or they would replace it. As a Canadian I went to Future Shop and it was great and I couldn't be happier with any other 'case'.
I found that if you're careful for 24 hours following your case installation, you shouldn't have any problem getting the case to stick around the corners. Also as long as you're nice to your phone you shouldn't have the corners lift up.

Clarivue!!!!! or StealthGuard. Zagg products are overpriced in my opinion.

I got a stealthguard for shipping (first class mail, 3 days or so), have had it for about a month.
Application was good after watching the videos involving a drop of soap.
Hasn't come up at the edges, no scratches. It does seem to do a little bit of "self healing" for dings.
I am only using the screen protector, didn't use the other parts of the cover.

I bought the PRIVACY SCREEN PROTECTOR from t-mobile. When I received it, it was too big for the g2. So I had to cut it down to size. Touch response with the screen has to be pressed harder.
But the privacy part of the screen is perfect..

I thought Zagg was where it's at....and they are ok but Ghost Armor is king now. I got 2 full body sets for 24.99 and it looks absolutely great. Doesn't have the orange peel feel like the Zagg and is wayyyy easier to install. They are smart and tell you to get some water and put some soap in it and submerge the shield in it before putting it on the phone. This is where Zagg only sends you spray. Your results are that the Ghost Armor goes on so much easier, slides perfectly into place, and has no bubbles at all. The results with the Zagg are kinda different. You could do the same thing with the Zagg (soap water), but of course they don't tell you that, so you end of trying to use as little spray as possible. This results in you having a harder time putting the shield on. So all in all, they are very similar, but I like the Ghost Armor better because its cheaper, easier to install, looks great and has the best method of putting on your shield.

I'm currently using the Skinomi screen protector, had it for about a week now. I had the T-Mobile one and the clarity is much better with the Skinomi one. No issues yet.... The best thing was it was only about 3.50 shipped from Amazon.

Last time I bothered with a screen protector was when the storm 1 came out on verizon. I ordered it from seidioonline.com and it was easy to put on and lasted a long time.
I did get screen protectors for another phone that verizon sold...I went thru all 3 of them in the pack just trying to put the stupid things on. Waste of money right there.
I have not used a screen protector since. And never found the need to have one in over 3 years. So I say don't waste the money

I love everything about the tbolt...except for the glass. It is scratched already! i have owned an og droid,droid x,fascinate,and incredible. all of them had no screen protection, and none of them had any scratches. The tbolt after 2weeks has scratches already!! Im wondering what kind of sh*ty glass HTC used...WTF???

Yeah, I noticed a scratch on mine (nearly superficial and hard to see). I've been very careful with the phone too, so it's sort of annoying.

Screen protectors like ghost armor are the best.

With the right glass...protectors are not needed. Im wondering what my glass is gonna look like after 6mos. A real bummer. I hate screen protectors

Its a 250 dollar phone, buy the 10 dollar screen protector as well. I treat my phones like they are my children but still use a screen protector because lets face it, who knows what is going to get into our pockets? Or, if you put it down on its face you may not see anything but that doesn't mean that there is nothing there.
Sorry to hear that it scratched but they don't just make screen protectors for the hell of it.

Dammit, you guys are making me paranoid. Ghost Armor, huh? Is that the best or what? Other opinions on best screen protector?

I usually don't use screen protectors cause I hate the feel they add. But I'm using one on my TB for the same reason the OP stated (and I had a Droid and Droid 2 previously)
Anyway, I use SGP Ultra Crystal... It feels like nothing is there, and it doesn't look like it has a screen protector on it.
I bought it from ebay, because ironically enough, their ebay store is cheaper, (no shipping vs $3 shipping)

+1 for the SGP Steinheil Ultra Crystals. I've used Zagg and Ghost Armor in the past, but then I tried the Stenheils and I will never go back to anything else.
Super strong, feels just like the glass to the touch after a day or so once they've been "broken in", and easily just as clear as the glass itself
EDIT: And yes, buy from their ebay store instead of their website or Amazon since ebay will get you free shipping (just as fast, too)

I just checked out the site for SGP, there's several version of these protectors? Which one are would you guys recommend?
Ultra Crystal Clear : Ultimate Clarity
Ultra Fine : Anti - Fingerprint
Ultra Oleophobic : Oil-Resistance
I'm leaning toward ultra fine.

what???? I had my eris for 15months and there has yet to be on the scratch on the glass. Some retarded coworker caused me to drop my phone down this ramp at work and the plastic got chipped yet the glass is still scratchless. I keep the phone in my left pocket with nothing else in it. Are you telling me that the tbolt would scratch in the conditions I have put my eris through? Besides the drop of course. eris glass > tbolt glass? that is hard to believe.
getting my tbolt today, so I still have a chance to cover it.

I wouldn't chance it man. If you have to, grab the crappy VZW protectors until you can get a better brand of protector.

Its not even close! It seems like regular glass if you ask me.

Yeah, definitely not gorilla glass or anything even remotely close. I had an iPhone 4 for 7-8 months before switching to the T-Bolt. Not a single scratch on my iphone screen in that time period, but had a scratch on my thunderbolt screen within the first 72 hours. Super disappointing.

Crystal Clear is the clearest and strongest. It looks and feels just like the phone's natural glass
Ultra Oleophobic is a slightly less strong and a slightly less clear (but still really clear!) than the Ultra Crystals, but resists fingerprints. Personally, the Ultra Crystals don't pick up fingerprints more than the glass.
Ultra Fine are very different from the two above. They have that matte-type screen that diminishes screen clarity and viewing angles, but they completely resist fingerprints. So it's a trade-off

I'll agree with this. They put some crappy screen on this phone. I take excellent care of my phones, I had my Eris for a year and a half, no screen protector, and not a scratch on it.
After about 3 or 4 days with my Thunderbolt, I noticed two small scratches on it. I went ahead and ordered a screen protector from BoxWave to at least prevent it from getting more. Maybe if I'm lucky putting the screen protector on there will make these two scratches less visible.
I don't even know how it got scratched. Nothing has happened to the phone.
EDIT: Ok, I just noticed a THIRD scratch on the damn phone! What the hell? I've been even MORE careful with the phone since I noticed the first two scratches, while I'm waiting for my screen protector to get here. What the hell are they coming from? Putting it in my pocket?! Geez.

This thread...wow...dont put your phone in your pocket without protection

Currently I'm using a body glove with a screen protector from Verizon, but I'm eagerly waiting for an Otterbox case to come out.

Screen protector suggestions?

So I recently got my MT4GS and I was wondering if there were any suggestions for screen protectors. I used Skinomi before on my G2 and that was pretty good. But I'm open to suggestions, in paticular this was one for the iPhone but anyone know any protectors with like a matte type feel to it? If that makes sense.

I've never used anything other than whatever generic one I can find cheapest. I've also never heard a convincing argument to spend more on a "better" one.

I had a Realook myTouch4G screen protector, but I had to cut it a slight bit to get it to fit - it's a few MM too big on the sides. It worked well, but I determined I don't need one.

I'm using the MyTouch 4G (Glacier) ones from T-Mobile..
they're not cut to fit the exact screen, but rather a small section (found this unusual), but they stick, and they stick good, plus they reduce glare and such..
$17 for 2, but it's worth it..
by the way, steer clear of those $5 for 8 screen protectors or whatever on amazon, they feel like they're made from cellophane and fall off almost instantly in my pocket.

best ones i have found. first one on and still going strong, clean and clear and easy to use, cut perfect.

Those are the ones I was talking about, boy do they suck...
I like their design however, but the material feels like the wrapper of a fruit roll-up, and they peel off easily and scratch easily...

As I said, T-Mobile's screen protectors work good.

I bought these because I figured I'd start cheap, and if I didn't like them, I'd get something else:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005B0JW6C/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details
I put one on two days ago. They're cut very well to fit, but they're hard to apply. Lots of bubbles, and one edge doesn't stick well.
I figured I'd give it a couple days, then try again with another, since I have five of them. Maybe I screwed up.
But after using it for a couple days, I don't think I will. It feels too... rubbery. It adds resistance when you slide your finger across the screen and I don't like it.
My HTC Tilt 2 (AT&T branded Touch Pro 2) actually came with a screen protector that was easy to apply, had no bubbles, left no residue and lasted almost two years before one corner began to peel. I was not gentle with this phone either.
If I could find the same kind of protector the Tilt 2 had, I'd buy it in a second, but it was just in the box with the phone. No idea if it was provided by AT&T, or HTC, nor who made it.

In my experience, bubbles are almost always caused by dust and lint in between the screen and protector. You can help prevent this by installing the protector on the screen after a hot shower, while the mirror is still foggy.

Lint solution
Slightly off topic, but ...
If you apply the protector, and find that it has bubbles, because of lint, just pull the protector off and use a piece of scotch tape on the protector (sticky side to sticky side) and it will pull off the lint and dust. I've had great success with this in the past.

I've tried a couple of different brands and after using them both a couple of weeks each, I decided to do without. I do believe we have "gorilla glass" so I'm not really worried about scratches and such. Both protectors I tried felt odd and they both scratched extremely easily and they gave the screen a "fuzzy" appearance that I just didn't care for.

Yeah, a couple days after my last post, the screen protector came off. The bubbles definitely were not from lint, the factory plastic was still on the screen until I put the protector on. Maybe just poor quality?
Either way, now that I know the phone has Gorilla Glass, I'm not concerned.

I just got a MT4GS and I will try a new screen protector. On my last phone I used a protector from bestskinsever.com and it was good. It did the job and lasted a long time (over a year and a half before getting some junk under the edge of one corner...but it still didn't peel up and I kept using it for months until I got this phone). The only complaint is a bit of "orange peel" texture on it. My research has led me to bodyguardz.com and phantomskinz.com. People claim these two have less orange peel than the bse skins. I would say the bse is 8/10. I will try one of these 2 and report back.

As I said before, the screen protectors T-Mobile sell are actually pretty good.

It did the job and lasted a long time (over a year and a half before getting some junk under the edge of one corner...but it still didn't peel up and I kept using it for months until I got this phone). The only complaint is a bit of "orange peel" texture on it. My research has led me to bodyguardz.com and phantomskinz.com. People claim these two have less orange peel than the bse skins. I would say the bse is 8/10. I will try one of these 2 and report back.

I have the UltraTough Clear ScreenGuardz (Dry Apply) from bodyguardz. It is great. I can't even tell it is on there. Zero bubbles and zero orange peel. I even pulled it off after I put it on the first time because it was misaligned.
It had a couple big bubbles I couldn't squegee out, but they went away in a couple of days.
