I still want a screen protector...
Any other suggestions?

I buy em cheap and I buy a lot. If it gets smudged replace it.
You can get like 4 packs for like $2 on amazon. Change em out once a week.

Try an Otter box: I have one on my HTC desire: keeps it mint, saves it from drops.
FG

I'd recommend either a Zagg InvisiShield (some people don't like the texture) or Ghost Armor.

invisibleSHIELD by zagg
A combination with this and otterbox is what I have for my NT and it brings the best of both worlds to work for you....

How about invisible shield?
you can go to zagg's site. Sorry can't post link but just do a google search.

UPDATE: Best screen protector! *look here*

I've used Clarivue screen protectors for my past 3 phones, and they have been the best. Used various screen protectors, from ZAGG to the ones from T-Mobile. None of them compare to the quality of Clarivue. The screen protectors are pretty much invisible and don't feel like plastic like most of the others do. Feels like your still sliding your finger across the glass screen
So check it out guys! I know it's for the O2X but I already ordered them for my G2X since it's the same hardware.
LG P990 Optimus 2X Screen Protector
UPDATE:
Alright guys... So the Clarivue was a bust. Sorry Anyways... disappointed with the Clarivue protectors I looked elsewhere, because I wanted TOTAL FRONT DOMINATION
Feel free to look http://www.bodyguardz.com/t-mobile-g2x-cases-screen-protectors-covers-shields-skins-films.html, best part is that you get 2 sets of protectors
I ordered the FULL BODY protectors... It's a wet apply protector, but has virtually NO orange peel like ZAGG and others do! High reduction in finger smudges also.
What I like most is that it protects the camera lens in the back, and the metal strip. I like the feel of the phone... So I only applied the protector to the Screen, metal strip in the back, and the camera lens... And I must say, I could not be happier!
I may try realook (clear as nothing and it's hard to scratch).
Gorilla glass on this already, right? What's the point really?

Not a lot to spend to make sure. Gorilla glass is scratch "resistant" not proof.
I'm going to try this one. I hated the Zagg.
I don't believe Realook has made one yet
I don't like the Zagg either. The ones I've tried leave an orange peel effect.
I trust Ghost armor. I have had them in all my phones and their screen protectors are simply the best.

The Clarivue protectors are nearly invisible, and they feel like nothing is there. Not much to give up for some added protection. Gorilla grass is only scratch resistant, but you can damage it

I can guarantee the Clarivue one's don't absorb any dirty skin oils
Also, should be getting mine soon - I'll post up pictures then
Anybody have a good recommendation for an anti-glare screen protector? I'm not worried about damaging the glass (I always keep my phones in a belt case, not loose in my pocket), but reflections and fingerprints bother me a lot. For my original Nexus One, I surgically altered a Power Support screen protector intended for an iPod Touch, and that was quite good.

Clarivue has it. Click the OP's link and you can choose between an Ultra-Clear and an Anti-Glare finish.
Just ordered, I hope it's on par with realook

You might want to check on Zagg invisibleSHIELD (www.zagg.com) if you want that semi rubbery feel.

Hmm, I wonder if they are out of the clear version now, the only option I have is anti-glare. Darn.

1x LG Nexus 4 Google Premium Clear Screen Protector - FREE SHIPPING

Here is a nice, cheap screen protector I just found on eBay that ships from TX, USA:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1x-LG-Nexus...782827?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item337dbba9eb
Looks pretty decent...
I am worried about the curved edges. My photon 4G had this issue with dry application screen protectors. Can you post a review when you get it installed so we all know if this is going to be an issue?
For the first time I think I am going to go naked. I have faith in Gorilla Glass 2. I will just stay away from sand.
sent from my perfect 32GB Nexus 7
EDIT: Didn't see that they charged another $3 for shipping on Amazon. Good deal OP!
3 pack for $2.95

Yeah, I'm really not sure about that. I don't know if I'll just wait for the Xtreme Guard screen protector, which is very high quality and cheap; its very similar to extreme guard. And this one is a wet application. So I hope it will be released soon.
why the heck aren't vendors selling the back too???!?!?!?!?!!
I hate wet-applied one...
but I also concern about the curved-edge screen...
Now has 10% off the $2.92 price! So now its only $2.62. This is the cheapest screen protector as of now!
Just ordered one thanks button hit

Just to point out, the OP link is 1x screen protector, the Amazon link is 3x screen protector.
So if you're getting the 3-pack, that's cheaper total cost per screen protector, at under $2 per protector.
why not use liquid armor?
put 3-4 coats of it and you're set(ive been using it on my gs2 for a while) does not get as oily as plastic screen protectors..nor does it scratch

Yeah, good point, but i don't think everyone wants to order 3 of them...Just finding a cheap one screen protector.
Alright, so, dumb question now: Why would I need a screen protector when the glass is Gorilla 2 and not supposed to get scratches and stuff like that?
Thanks

i dont think this is a wet application one...how can you tell? theres no liquid or solution to be put on in order for it to work, unless im getting my definition of wet application totally wrong
edit: i misread it. sorry about it. disregard this post
So you would get micro scratches, right?
For me personally that's a bad trade off when you might see that screen protector on the sides then.

Zagg Screen Protector

Anyone know of good deals on Zagg HD Screen Protectors?
Thanks in advanced...

I personally wouldn't waste my money on another zagg screen protector. They make a good product, just not worth $20-25 each. I have used their warranty and it's worth the $3 for the shipping for a replacement, no hassles getting a replacement either. But the hd claims to be more clear, no orange peel. I got one for my s3 and it had orange peel, even the replacement had the peel effect.
I went with the tech armor for $22.95 on amazon w/2 day shipping, I love my prime membership. You can't go wrong. It's crystal clear, no bubbles and hasn't scratched yet. I've had mine since verizon released the s4. Glass screen protectors are the way to go. Here's a link to the one I got. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CD0I8EK/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 There are a bunch of glass screen protectors out there, just search the forum. I haven't had any issues with fit with any case I've tried.
How hard are the glass ones to apply?
Zagg is horrible in my opinion. The texture is very artificial. I prefer a glass feel. I'd recommend a glass protector.

I have put on many film screen protectors and find them pretty easy, but I've done plenty of graphics on cars. Wet applications are much easier to work with and get right.
The glass protectors I find are even easier. The tech armor went on with no liquid if I remember right. It was very easy. It just takes patience. The one thing I really liked about the tech armor glass protectors was the little suction cup holder it came with. Made easy for getting the alignment just right. Just put some pressure in the middle of the screen and work your way out.
i was gonna buy a glass one, but i got the zagg instead simply because i was at bestbuy and had a gift card, it looks fine after a day or so it settles in so to say, and it seems to get more clearer as the days go bye, of course im used to the cheap one in the defender so anything would look better then that. But i agree with others and say get a glass one if you don't need it right at this moment.
Yeah, zagg are really draggy, put one on the back of you s4 and you will never drop it again
I hear good thinks about Skinomi screen protectors.

Not really. I dont see why everyone says this. Unless they apply an unnecessary amount of pressure when sliding their finger on the screen. I barely have to touch my screen on my s4 for it to register

Yup
Considering that I have a 3 year old brat and a big fat slippery hand, yes I would definitely put on a screen guard
Yes I always have one on every device that I own. I prefer tempered glass, so lets hope that someone makes one thats good quality for it.
Nope, haven't used screen protectors in more than two years. They take away the premium feel of the screen. Gonna get me a case though, since I will be carrying it around in bags an such

Anyone tried one of those spray-on screen protectors?
I remember linustechtips did a review on one with impressive results. I think it was called Liquid Armor.

Tried that Crystal spray on on my phone, did not notice any difference. Phone still got scratched .
I won't be using a Screen protector on the Nexus 9, currently have the tab S 8.4 and i use it without a SP. Screen feels so much better without that plastic on top.
I am not one for film screen protectors, but I do like the glass screen protectors
I guess the good thing about a glass protector for the Nexus 9 is that you don't have to worry about the sunken button effect that you'd get on an ipad.
Are there any for sale yet for the Nexus 9 ?

There's several hands-on videos that comment on how much glare the Nexus 9 puts out. You think any of these tempered glass screens could help reduce glare?

No idea..... Most likely will not but you never know...
Also the glass screen protector has been shipped as of this morning
I had the same question too.. The only company that claims to have anti-glare coating and a tempered glass screen protector is BodyGuardz. I talked to them earlier and they had no plans to release a Nexus 9 version, nor they have a UK presence.
Also, I havent seen many out yet (which makes sense) but there are a few on amazon. I was wondering if you came across any 'good brand' tempered glass screen protectors I can order now and hopefully will also help in reducing glare.

Xperia Z3 and screen protectors

Hi all.
I spent some time looking at videos on YouTube and reading about it here on XDA, reviewed most of the screenprotectors for Xperia Z3.
Now i am somehow to afraid to carry my phone without anything on screen, even i know its pretty scratch resistant.
I was thinking to buy something to protect it, and i dont know which i should buy (I dont want some cheap plastic film screen protector) which will make my phone look ugly and cheap within few months.
So i ask you guys, does someone have real experience with "Tempered glass screenprotector" from ORZLY or from NILLKIN.
And also i want to hear experienced of guys who carry the phone without anything.
P.S.
Thank you for your responses, also please no reply like "use search" because i did, but i want to know more.
Also for moderators, sorry if it is duplicated Thread.
Thank you all.
I have a tempered glass screen protector [ZAGG InvisibleSHIELD] it is a must for this phone, I even have a case [CASE-MATE] which protects the phone. It's a glass phone, it must be protected.
So, go for it.
I always used glass screen protectors and slim yet protective cases, all of good, if not best quality.
Even more, as I already said, when you have a phone made of glass.
Thank you for replying
I'd also recommend a good 9h screen protector. Feels good, and keeps the fingerprints off.

Also a screen protector and a case protects the device from heating up too much in direct contact with the sun.
Thank both of you.
I just ordered Nillkin screen tempered glass protector for front and back glass from aliexpress site for 5usd.
I will let you know when they arrive
