Searching for compatible screen protector to go with my ballistic sg

Hello!
Does anyone with a Ballistic SG case use a screen protector, and if so, which brand/model do you guys use, and where did you buy/how much? I just need to make sure its compatible and it won't get pushed out by the case. Thanks alot guys!

I've been using the Ballistic case with a Zagg Invisible Shield for a couple months now with no problems.

I bought very nice, high quality screen protectors from Amazon for 20 cents each plus the USPS postal charge (~.50 cents). They come each in packages or lots of 5.
The screen protectors are for the HTC Inspire and fit very nicely on the Infuse with or without a case.

These are high grade screen protectors.
Everyone should know about this... Premium Screen protectors for 20 cents each.

I use the anti-glare anti-fingerprint Ivisor from Att with Ballistic case. Works great so far.

I use ishieldz, its a lot better in my opinion (Same as invisibleshielf from Zagg). The ishieldz seem to be less thick on the phone and you can run your finger along them better than the zagg in my opinion.

Corning Gorilla Glass... Screen protectors aren't necessary. A ran over my captivate with a 11000#(eleven thousand pound) forklift and nothing happened; not intentionally. I used the phone for another six months and sold it for a couple hundred bucks. I expect the same quality out of the Infuses.
Enjoy your 4.5" screen-protector free... And save a couple bucks.

Haha let me know if i got it right....
you drove OVER you captivate with a 11 thousand pounds machine(idk if thats the weight of the machine or the max lifting weight,yet thats gotta be heavy)

and the phone didnt craked open INSTANTLY??
I damaged badly my previous infuse screen just by stepping over it by accident a few times... and im not even 160 pounds
:O not only good screen quality that phone is undestructible!
But.... i DO agree on the NO need of a screen protector if you dont want your screen " scratched",you would need to apply a great and unnecesary force to get the corning gorilla glass scratched.

Non sticky screen cover

Anyone have any recommendation for a non stick screen cover that will feel smooth?
I'm currently using Great Shield anti glare, it's consistently slick and despite hating the image quality with it on (anti glare makes things grainy) using any touch screen without it feels awful.
I've got a Zagg on my tablet which is a "quality" soft film cover and it doesn't come close in smoothness. Anyone use any brand/type that's clear but with the paper-ish feel of anti glare guards?

I've been using the SGP Steinheil UltraFine (Anti Fingerprint) film since day one. Installed last November and still perfect... very smooth to the touch.

16 bucks for that Steinheil is steep. Is it washable? Amazon description offered little to no info.

By washable I suspect you mean how I clean the surface? No need to ever remove it once it's in place (I've had mine on for 10 months). I wipe it 3-4 times/wk with a microfiber cloth and lens cleaner (eyeglass cleaner and cloth). cleans up in seconds. No air bubbles have ever formed underneath. Follow the directions during installation and you should never have an issue.

I've been using Xtreme Guard and it is smooth. It's a thick layered protector an does not show scratches like the cheap thin ones. I've been using it for months and it's still like new.

Got a Zagg Invisible shield HD put on my wife's GS3 and loved the extra shine and feel of the HD. Tried to order one for my Skyrocket only to find out they don't make it in HD. THEY DO however make one for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Epic 4G Touch, which fits the Skyrocket. Looks and feels awesome! Sorry if this has already been mentioned.

Best Skins Ever now selling LG Nexus 4 skins

I've always had good experiences with these skins.
http://www.bestskinsever.com/google-nexus-4-skin

Was just about to post this as well. Got their email and they are on discount right now and ordered as well.

Yep, already ordered.
Guess I have to buy this phone now lol
To my fellow UK buyers, the total protection is £7.23 ish after international postage and currency conversion. (Via PayPal)

Thanks for this, wasn't going to have a cover but the feel a little worried about the glass on the back

How's the overall quality of their body protectors and screen protector? Orange peel, screen degradation, etc? I'm think of picking up their whole kit and just a bumper for my N4

What i dont like about this brand is that you use liquid soap to apply them wth, you put liquid soap on your device´s screen? that can´t be right
Do they ship to europe?

Yeah I never understood the soap thing.I still have the spray from my zagg so I'm just gonna use that
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

You don't actually put soap on your phone, its in the water then rinsed out.
Even though you can't see the soup once rinsed out,
It makes the water have a slight oily substance which helps to cure the skin and helps to apply it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Ima order one. Never used this brand but it will have to do .
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Do these skins cover it all? With the glass I need it on both glass surfaces at minimum. I would also like the sides covered as well. Does this company or any other cover that? Soft touch is great but I baby my devices. Having that extra bit of protection and cushion could mean the difference between getting a crack or not in a small fall.

Fit is nice. But After a while the screen starts the crater and look crappy.

I never had issues with BSE. I tried almost all the other types of skins but I always seem to find myself coming back to their product.

Can you elaborate more? , I don't fully understand
, what do you mean you rinse the water, I know what rinse is but rinsing the water makes no sense to me, sorry English is not my main language
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

What he means is that soap is not directly applied to the phone. It is diluted in water then the solution is sprayed to the skin. The amount of soap needed is very small. It is just enough to make the solution slippery so that when the skin is applied, you can slide it over the device for adjustment.

BSE is good quality, but it has orange peel effects like Zagg and others. I'd suggest something like XO Skins or Skinomi for the screen, as they don't have that problem.

Just ordered one. I use BSE on my HOX and it's fantastic, minimal orange peel effect and feels smooth to the touch. Much better than Zagg or Skinomi imo, I've not tried XO.

Xo is a good company... fast shipping etc but their skins are very rubbery. I'd rather have a little orange peel than have my finger stick. I had that on my nexus 7 and even after a couple months it didn't go away.
I ordered from bse but have never used them before. They claim to have changed their film for 2012 to make it feel better, apply easier, etc. How is their fit?

Fit is good. Still have mine on the gnex.

Just ordered the full package. Hope the phone doesnt get all scratched up before this gets here :/ Reviews are saying the back scratches like a b*tch.

Think I'll get the skins, first reading the title I laughed out loud 'four skins' faux pas or just my British sense of humour

Best Epic 4g Case?

What is the best Epic 4g case that isn't too bulky like an OtterBox? A slime case.

EDIT: it isn't so thin. I think its thinner then the otter box, (I have it) but not many cases are thin for this phone. If you find one let me know XD.

Best? not even close... but I bought a case similar to this one about two years ago. Its saved my phone several times. The part that clips on the keyboard/battery half does not stay on anymore though. The 4 nubs are worn out and don't hold it. The screen part is what I was most worried about though and it still holds tight.
I was planning to go caseless after having aluminum cases on most of my previous phones until I dropped my epic just right and shattered the screen. I replaced the screen assembly and decided to get a case for it. I have went without a screen protector and have not had a single scratch. Gorilla Glass is something I'll be looking for on future phones for sure.

the best life proof case?

withc you think us the best?
the obex
http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-s4-obex-waterproof-case-black-p/cswssgs4-br.htm
or the lifeproof?
http://www.lifeproof.com/en/galaxy-s4-nuud/

I like the life proof name more personally. I'm just being biased to the brand however I will add that I'd rather have the flat black design too

Life proof

I hv a cheapo lifeproof knockoff but if I would got an expensive case (and I may still do) prob would get the lifeproof with screen protector fre ver..

I bought the Nuud for the S4. I personally really love it. Not because the **** is expensive but lighter than my Otterbox Defender AND it's such a better design than my prior LifeProof for the iPhone 5. If you have anyquestions please ask. Tag me in the question so ill see it.

How is the sound? During a call and the back speaker? Do you think it would work with a thin class screan protector?

I bought the obex, and it is awesome. I prefer it to any other case, but I have never had a life proof to compare it to. The obex comes with a gasketed extention to keep the phone water proof while using the headphones

During sound playback you can tell a difference from not having the case in but it's not a huge let down like it was with my iPhone 5 Life Proof. As far as voice feedback in the ear goes it does take the noise canceling a second to catch up so on the first ring or so it sounds distorted but it quickly fixes itself. It's not making calls or listening to music. No more opening the bottom hatch to make sure someone can hear me. And as far as the plastic cover goes if you're meaning a screen protector like invisible shield then it will fit. They provide you an optional screen protector to put on (I used it). I do intend on investing in a better one later, probably Ghost Armor. Lmk if you have anything else

Thank you, and I'm asking if you think a tempered glass screen protector would fit on there with the case and still seal? I have the mime feather glass on my phone and its very thin for a glass protector, not much thicker than the usual plastic ones.

I wish the same way on the other side. The OPEX is the same price as the Life Proof Nüüd which I have. I seen your post and I started looking for side by side comparisons unfortunately non exist... The LifeProof are awesome as well.
Long Live the IR Blaster.

Whichever you decide get one that isn't nuud and has a built in screen protector, otherwise there's is a risk of leakage. My iPad lifeproof is nuud and it leaks if you are too rug with it in the pool

I just purchased the version without a screen protector built in. The nuud I believe. I have a Mime glass protector (not the thinnest one, but the one with rounded edges) and it fits. Now, I havent tested it because Im not going to submerge my phone just to find out on purpose, BUT it appears to fit and seal normally. ill try to get some pics for you later when I get off work,
Short answer, yes it fits.....

The Obex is good at waterproofing. It's got some cons tho. I reckon the LifeProof will be less bulky. The Obex makes the notification bar hard to pull down cuz it covers the part above the screen. I don't really like the plastic screen protector of the Obex case also. But it's still a good case to consider!

I'm not to happy with my obex anymore. The screen protector is pretty crappy, the case scratches fairly and the colored parts get dirty. I had it on for a while and I'm very careful with my phone and its all marked up case and screen protector. And the protecter isn't that clear either. Yeah it's good that tue case is scratched and not the phone but my otterbox commuter has been on my phone for a lot longer and still looks good.
