Are screen protectors worth it? Or do they just leave smudges in the future when you take them off? I found a nice case on amazon that I'm going to buy for my infuse, I'm trying to figure out if screen protectors are worth it?
Anybody?
The Naked Shield screen protector came highly recommended by a folk here on the forums. You can either get the full cover or just the screen (I got the screen with the body glove TPU case)
and it won't leave smudges, affects screen quality, but not by much if at all.
edit: Got mine for $3.75 on ebay ($7.00 for the body glove case)
Thanks,
I'm just going to get the Amzer Silicone Skin Jelly Case, looks nice enough for a casing. I'm not going to use a screen protector though. I just don't want to leave any marks on the screen if it does.
I've found that unless you put your phone in your pocket with keys that you don't really need a screen protector.

I find it better to be safe than sorry. I remember getting a big old scratch across my iPhone just for putting it in my pocket. I know this is gorilla glass but I like the peace of mind that it offers.

I've had my Infuse since last august or so without a screen protector and no scratches. I dropped it a couple of times but my case protects it.

casing or no casing? xD
These thread are kind of pointless. I can understand the value of asking which screen protector or case protector is or are better.
It will cost you $5 to protect a $400+ piece of equipment.
What happens if your phone does get scratched...too late for a screen protector.
Gorilla glass DOES get scratched.
Apply a matt screen protector or a good quality one done the right way and you wont even notice it.
Your assuming that there are no downsides of having a protector. All though screen protectors are cheap and work well. They do affect the screen quality regardless of how well you put it on and its quality. It's personal opinion on how much it affects it though.
IMO it doesn't hurt it too much and I have one on.

I'm sorry you feel that this thread is pointless. I apologize for creating it.
I should've restated my question better I guess. I know that some screen protectors leave smudges and stickiness on the actual screen when taken them off. I was wondering if there where any high quality ones out there that are worth it.

Thanks for the response.
If you're still looking for a screen protector I have the naked shield one. I just put it on my phone and it is great. It adds a rubbery finish but still slick when sliding. Unless you do a perfect application the screen does get imperfections that are noticible when looking at off angles (head on in low light it is not noticible)
I have an application with no bubbles and no dust and it looks great. But it is noticible.

No, i've never had a logo on my screen protectors and i've gotten many for the iphone and then for my infuse. Mine is starting to come up around the bottom of my screen now but Zagg offers lifetime warranties.
Hmmm, very interesting features of Zagg's protectors. But is it glossy or matte? I really don't like fingerprints on the sun, so matte protector may reduce this paintbrush effect

They may offer a matte finish i'm not sure, but mine is glossy so it does pick up fingerprints.
I have the zagg screnn protector too, and no it doesnt leave smudges if removed (only those cheap ones leave smudges/marks when removed) the zagg i got was supposed to be scratch proof...it got a scratch and since it has life time warrenty...i got it replaced-thats the only way i know that it leaves no residue

Invisible Shield should come out with a version for the One X shouldn't they? There's quite a lot of hype in this phone and it's a high end phone. Invisible Shield makes amazing screen protectors, but then again the One X has Gorilla Glass.

only wet applicating ones are going to cover the whole thing because of the curved glass on the sides. go that route. skinomi seems to be the best thus far.

Yeah even though it has gorrilla glass 1 or 2, it isn't 100 % scratch resistant. Having it in your pocket with keys etc coins. Pebbles etc, having a screen protector won't change the look of the screen. For under 10 bucks why not? Unless you want a scratch

Thanks. I already ordered one, but have heard so much about the durability of gorilla glass that I had to ask.
Honestly, I can deal with a couple of tiny scratches a lot better than I can deal with how terrible screen protectors feel and make the display look. Anyone else feel this way?

I think they just mean that the glass shards won't go everywhere if the glass breaks. it will stay intact. No flying shards etc.

would be interested to see the results as well.
Unfortunately, they sent me the wrong color. I was asking for black instead of gold. I'm now trying to figure out if it's worth the hassle in exchanging.
My Coolreal tempered glass screen protector arrived today from Amazon. The quality looks really good, and it will definitely cover the entire screen. My only concern is that it appears the adhesive is only on the gold border and not the center of the screen. Haven't put it on my wife's S6 yet.
UTLK Galaxy S6 Screen Protector HD Clear Tempered Glass
I couldn't wait for the others to test these, so I bought the white version from UTLK on amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WOA5HM0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
Just installed it and it looks interesting, I mean its different from other glass protectors I have used before on my phones. but this definitely covers the whole screen and bezel, there is a little haloing as you see in the pics but they are disappearing. There screen protector quality attracts a bit of smudging which is not common in high quality glass. Overall I think its a good option at the price.
I installed one on my wife's phone last night. Results were good, some slight haloing around the edges as well. Hopefully they will disappear.

Thanks for the photos and mine has some haloing too. Going to wait a few days and might try out the UTLK brand if the haloing does not go away.
I got that one from Amazon an like the others there was a little haloing but I had to remove it as my tech21 case was pushing the protector off every time I press a side button... now I'm using those smaller protectors but I think I will end up with a plastic one... (I like my case ok?! heheheh)

I don't think olive oil is a big deal... Just apply a generous amount and it'll stick for a while. I'm up to a month I think and it still looks brand new. Yes it's case friendly. I have a heavy duty car and slim case. Both don't mess with the screen at all
I couldn't stand the white Halo around the edges with my previous screen protector, so I ordered the Skinomi wet install one. It's not tempered glass, but more like a thick film. Very happy with the results. There are no bubbles and no air around the edges. You can't even tell there is a screen protector on the phone. Now I know it won't protect the screen in a hard fall, but it will definitely prevent scratches. Goes really well with my thin Tudia case.

I'm not a big fan of thick tempered screen protectors in the first place. They don't cover the entire phone like the film ones do. I've never cracked a screen on any of my phones and just need something to protect the screen from scratches.
I use TPU wet application film protection.
Skinomi works fine with my Tudia GLOST
Disclaimer: No, I don't work for QiMai or the seller on Amazon. I'm just a guy who has been struggling with screen protectors since the S8+, and finally found one I'm 100% satisfied with. So I figured I'd share.
I was using the Cubevit PET screen protector and loved it, but it was a fingerprint magnet, and like all PET screen protectors got pretty scratched up.*Otherwise it's a FANTASTIC screen protector and only $8 for a 3-pack.
I had put a QiMai TPU screen protector on my wife's S9+, and you could barely tell it was there. I have to occasionally pick up her phone and look really close to make sure it's still on there. But since it was TPU I worried about it having that rubbery feel, and the SPen leaving marks.*
Since the QiMai was only $10 for a 2-pack, I decided to give it a try on my Note 9 anyway, and seriously, it's the best screen protector out there. It may not offer the drop protection of a Whitestone Dome, but as far as clarity and feel, there's no equal.*
It is crystal clear. Matter of fact it covers the FF camera and all the sensors, but it causes no distortion or interference. And it's almost as slick as the factory glass. It has no rubbery drag at all. And fingerprints wipe away very easy. And no indents from the SPen, unless you really dig in. Even then they disappear quickly.*
Ringke makes a similar screen protector, as does a few other companies, but I haven't tried them. Here is the link to the QiMai if you all want to try it.*
Galaxy Note 9 Screen Protector, 2-Pack QiMai Case Friendly Easy Install Screen Cover(Not Glass)[New Version]*https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H2ZW9PG..._q.BfCbVBPDM3J
So far no interference with my cases. I use a Ringke Air, a Speck Grip, and a couple minimal generic TPU cases. So nothing that really comes far over the edge of the screen. I'll be ordering some Goosperry cases soon, but I don't see where they would interfere either.
Installation is easy, but it's also easy to get lint under it. It took me four tries. The first one was 95% perfect except for a bubble from lint in the top right corner. The second one got a bubble for an unknown reason that wouldnt go away. Small bubbles disappear after 24 hours. But this one wouldn't. Otherwise it was almost perfect.
I reached out to the seller and he sent me a free replacement 2-pack. I screwed up the first one, but finally the last one went on perfectly.
I do think I'll try the Ringke version of this screen protector next time, simply because it was a built in lint remover that picks up all lint and dust as you install automatically. But I've got no experience with the Ringke to know if it's as smooth as this one.
If you want a tempered glass screen protector, then go for the Whitestone Dome. But if you like thin, minimal screen protectors that you can't tell is there, then I highly recommend this one.
UPDATE: I accidentally tore my QiMai screen protector, so I used the opportunity to try the Ringke Dual. It's the same exact material and fit as the QiMai. It just as clear, but is slightly easier to install. It seems to be more oleophobic, yet not quote as slick as the QiMai. They are both super smooth to the touch, but the Ringke seems to have just slightly more drag to it.
But I can say I like both screen protectors and you can't go wrong with either one.

I actually JUST switched to the Ringke screen protector. LOL. I put my Note 9 in a sleeve to carry it without a case, and the corner of the screen protector peeled up and tore. So I ordered the Ringke to try it out. I like it just as well as the QiMai. There's some subtle differences. The Ringke is actually easier to install. And even though the QiMai feels just slightly slicker than the Ringke, I think the Ringke is more oleophobic. You honestly can go wrong with either one.

Not that great, actually. I think they could have used a little stronger adhesive, but it's okay. I wound up with one speck of dust on the very edge, but I also used a dust absorber from another screen protector kit to remove any heavy lint and dust.
It turned out about 99.9% perfect, which is the best I can expect from any screen protector. I always end up with some speck of dust or bubble somewhere. It's just so hard without an actual clean room.
I will say the screen protector is absolutely invisible. You have to look very hard to see it. And the more I use it, the slicker it feels.
Just make sure it's straight and aligned before you peel off the backing (tab 2 and 3). I had to readjust mine a few times to get it straight and centered left to right. That is one advantage to this installation method. You can readjust it as much as you want before you actually secure it permanently to the screen.

Just use as close to a dust free environment as you can. Then clean your screen really well, remove all dust with a dust remover if you have it, then take your time lining up the screen protector. Remember, you can lift it and readjust as many times as you want before you pull tab 2 and secure it permanently.
