Best screen protector?

Hey guys just bought my Triumph and waiting for it to come in the mail. I was wondering what the best screen protector would be for this phone. I'm considering the Rocketfish at best buy so I think I'm set on the case. I remember my friend had an iphone protector and it was a glossy look and feel rather than they smooth one. I really liked the feel of that one because my fingers never stuck to the screen. Well all opinions would be great thanks guys.

With reading that discussion, do you think the full protection is good enough to replace a case for the phone or would you recommend the Zagg screen protector with the Rocketfish case?

Personally I hate cases.I have seen the full body ZAGG on one phone and that was like 2+ years ago on i believe a voyager... I didn't think it was bad and If I would get a "case" for my phone that's what I would get. My girlfriend has the MT and she got her case at bestbuy for like 15 or 20 bucks. It's not a bad little case and it doesn't bother me when I use her phone. She also had a ZAGG on it which is the only screen protector I've ever used. But I messed up putting it on her phone and she took it off and threw it away. The ZAGG was only like 12 or so from bestbuy.

Here is the case that I bought. I love it. The silicone keeps it from slide no matter where I seem to place it.
Silicone Case
and then I got this screen protector.
Skinomi
I have used the Skinomi skins on many different products and I love them. The whole self healing thing is pretty amazing and works great.

ZAGG is the way to go for sure. I've tried a lot of cheaper ones and all of them messed with how the display looked or felt while using the touch screen. It's worth the money.

You know that Triumph comes with built in screen protector, don't you? Mine does not show any signs of wear after more then a month of active use and little regard to how my phone is handled.
Just saying...

Thats exactly what I was going to ask. I read that someone removed that factory screen protector and put a new one on because the response was delayed with the factory one and a new one. Anyone else deal with this?

You could always get a Best Skins Ever. It's exactly the same material as the Zagg shields, and it's much cheaper. I've tried both, and they're both fantastic.

I removed the factory one and installed a Zagg. I like it.

Yeah I love the silicon case. Is there a privacy screen protector for the MT?

I just started using this phone, with no additional screen protector since it comes with one over the gorilla glass.
If I do get one I would look into Skinomi. I use it for my gtablet and it works great, I have had it on since the beginning of the year and traveling around with no problems so far.

I personally use ArmorSuit, much better response than stock with the same material as Zagg at half the cost.

The best screen protector I've had is no screen protector.
I dropped my phone and scratched the factory second film. After that, I've been naked

My best screen protector has been (for me) the cheapest one! You can find them dirt cheap (a dollar or two) if you search around. But if you constantly drop your phone, I would get a higher-end one, like Zagg or something.

Sick of my ZAGG InvisibleShield! Any other viable screen protection replacement?

Too many fingerprints. Too much oil. Inhibits the use of Trace keyboard. Have to be wiping it down multiple times per day. Sticky, rubbery feeling. I'm done with Zagg InvisibleShield. I will never buy one again.
Sigh....now that my rant is over, does XDA have any suggestions for a better screen protector?
I'm looking for a very thin, unnoticed-type of screen protector. I don't want one that significantly alters the look and feel of my HTC Sensation 4G screen.
I don't need a screen protector that is heavy duty or anything like that, I'm more worried about feel and screen distortion as opposed to screen protection (I never put sharp objects to the screen of my phone )
Anti-fingerprint preferred. Well-known company preferred.
Any help or information will be greatly appreciated, and I'll be giving out thanks to all that help. Thanks XDA!

The solution to your problem is Skinomi.
It's very perfect. No yellow-ish tint. No sticky surface. No fingerprints.
It has the same installation method as Zagg.
Give it a try.

+1 for Skinomi. Have had it on my last three devices. Screen still feels like glass and it doesn't smudge nearly as bad. Much easier to apply than the Zagg as well. Protector is a much more stiff so its easy to place properly. When done well, hard to tell its even there!
If you buy on Amazon there are a bit cheaper. Think I paid $8 for mine. Or if you use the skinomi site, use skinomi25 for 25% off at checkout.

Skinomi?
I have never heard of them before. Is it kind of like a "barely-there" type of screen protector?
EDIT:
Their TechSkin looks like the same kind of stuff that Zagg InvisibleShield is made up of, but I'm sure I'm wrong.
I'll have to check it out.

I would say that it provides the same amount of protection as the zagg just doesn't have the tacky feel to it. Also much easier to install. To me the zagg always seemed 'floppy' and hard to place well. The skinomi is a bit more stiff. Try them out, I'm sure you'll like it!

+1 for skinomi. Looks and feels great and finger print resistant it seems. And If I scratch it it seems to repair itself.

lol, that's true. seems like a "scratch auto-repair" screen protector. WTF

You guys managed to scratch yours?
The only thing I've ever noticed are small dimple like impressions on it from things pressing up against it. Usually works itself out in a day or two.

I'll have to check out skinomi. I've been using bestskinsever as they're quite cheap, but the replies here have me second-guessing that choice.

Update: I bought BSE and Skinomi.
Currently I have the BSE on until it pisses me off. Definitely better than ZAGG, but I'm tempted to put on that Skinomi TechSkin that has been sitting in its package.
Do you recommend Skinomi TechSkin or DryTech?

I have ishieldz, its great no problem for 3 months now? Has warrenty if it scratches

Screen protector that works well for HOX, especially on the edges

The ones I have tried are the "dry" application type and because of the way the screen is curved it seems to peel up on the edges constantly, and having a case on just worsens the situation. Do the wet application protectors work better? Like Invisible shield? What have you guys foound that works well and stay putt especially on the sides?

My Zagg is working great. I have the front and back covered with it. No peeling at all and really nice.

I have the AT&T Branded Dry Application one.
It doesn't cover the sides so it doesn't peel up. However the small side bezel is not protected. It covers everything else though.
I got 6 of them for $12 at the AT&T store since the guy applying it screwed up
Also this should be in the Accessories section...

No, mine isn't the Zagg one. Its an AT&T branded one, that AT&T manufactures.

Skinomi all the way. Same material as Zagg actually. Just cheaper in terms of price + life time warranty.

thanks guys, that gives me a couple good choices to choose from!
And ye sI realized this should be in accessories after I posted it lol, oops

Use XO Skin.... really good... Covers the full screen... as good as nothing is there.. I got the full body protector... workes really well...
I tried Skinomi before two times ... but it was never good... had the orange peel effect...

Really? Cause they are not known to cause that. I know Zagg is. All my device have Skinomi.

I just put the XOSkin on mine and I really really like it. Very easy to put on, is totally invisible and covers the whole screen. Since it covers the entire screen, you literally cannot tell there is a protector on it. Absolutely no bubbles, bumps or streaks. Easily the best I've ever used.

Would any of you who have either the XOSkin or the Skinomi be able to tell me if the full body skin covers the glossy sides of the body? I've seen some that only come up to the lip of the matte and not all the way around, so I am trying to figure if either of these do. Thanks!

Sorry, mine is screen only.

Xoskin full body doesn't protect glossy sides

Didn't like the AT&T one because it was anti glare or something . Not completely clear. The new dry zagg is ok. If you use any case that overlaps the glass it will lift the zagg up. My favorite was the one that came with my nillken. Left a little area on the edge of the glass unprotected so all of my cases worked fine.

Have always used "bestskinsever" on all my devices. So much cheaper than the others and quality is great.

Used Skninomi and wasn't too impressed. I used this eBay seller before getting a screen protector for my GS II Skyrocket. They are selling a three-pack for less than $2 and the quality is awesome

Try phantomskinz, I have it on mine and its matte. Give a very nice touch. It covers everything except all the ports and camera
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

I've got the Zagg HD on the front and the Zagg standard on the back. It's a great combination. Even though it doesn't cover the entire glass section of the phone it's still completely invisible, no orange peel, and works great with cases. Honestly I feel that this setup with a case is better than any other method of protection for this phone.

[Pics] Ghost Armor on the One X

So When i had a thread in the skyrocket forum for ghost armor it picked up pretty well. Ghost armor is a wet application protector like zagg and bodyguardz. They offer screen and full body protection. their protectors are, IMO, much less rubbery and tacky feeling than zagg and they show a lot less orange peel.
Aside from the clear finish though, they have different flavors such as carbon fiber wraps and my personal favorite, matte finish. Instead of using a case on my phones I always use these guys and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend having their kiosk employee do the installation too.
Here is my One X with the matte finish ghost armor applied, along with the screen. The original kit did not come with the sides and i had to add them in extra, but it's well worth it because the glossy sides are the most easily scratched part.

Looks very nice. I might just get it done as well!

Thank you! I had no clue there was a separate color option for the camera circle. Definitely getting now. How does it feel by the way?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Is the matte slippery at all?

I hate the orange peel effect it gives to the screen.

How much extra were the sides?
I was shocked when I picked mine up and didn't have any protection for the sides.
Sent from my HTC One X

I actually got too anxious and couldn't wait for my full ghost armor so I bought the Zagg HD screen protector today. Damn is this thing smooth. Really feels just like the glass of the phone. I'm just going to use the back and sides from Ghost Armor, as I really can't stand any case that's out for this phone.

The matte actually improves the grip of the phone by quite a but but still feels awesome to hold. Side pieces cost me an extra $5 he used the pieces from an iPhone 3g kit

How did you get the green circle? I'm on their website and not sure how to configure the order to get a sticker for the ring colored differently than the rest of the body...

If you go to one of their kiosks you'll have much more flexibility with color options. I was annoying and got mine mix-n-matched lol

Soon as I get home I'd be happy to.

I can't get the dang website to load the locations page O_P

Pictures as promised
Here we go. Not a lot to see on the front it's just a better than most screen protector.
I didn't bother with the sides.
I thought the carbon fiber would provide a nice grippy surface and I was right. I'm quite pleased

So is there any orange peal affect like Zagg on the screen protector?

I have no idea what that is. Never used any screen protector before today.

Ooh Gunny, that looks awesome! Have it professionally installed?

Yeah. I drink way too much coffee and could never have gotten it to look that good so I paid them. 37 bucks with tax for the skin and install.

I just googled. There may be a MINIMAL effect but I only see it when the phone is off and it's more like seeing vertical lines than bumps and swirls like in the pictures I saw.

Ghost Armor?

I've never used it before, but I've heard good things, which is making me consider buying a full body protector. My question is this: who's used one, who's going to be getting one, or if you're opposed to the thought of it, what would you recommend?

I've used just the screen protector on my Sensation... I liked it immensely better than the Invisible Shield. However, they still don't have them in stock. I have a Skinomi coming from Amazon; that has full body protection as well

Skinomi is probably my next choice, I'm just not too certain. Also, I have a ghost armor in cart from their website, just to make sure they were available.

Don't you guys like XtremeGuard? Which one would you recommend, XtremeGuard or BSE or Skinomi?

I recommend Armorsuit or XOskins. Armorsuit is available on Amazon and XOskin here. XOskin original price is more expensive but they are good but use 55% off coupon code cybermondayftw on XOskin when you checkout and today is last day for the coupon code. Hope that helps. I have heard people complaining that other screen protectors was missing the cutout for the proximity sensor but XOskin has the cutout so I ordered XOskin. I don't know if Armorsuit has the proximity sensor cutout or not but I know their quality is good because I have used them before too. Hope that helps.

I guess I'll be the odd man out and say I'm really impressed with ghost armor. I used it on my gs2 and my gnex and plan to get it for my n4 also.

I feel the same. Ghost armor feels just like glass and I've never had anything close to the orange peel feel on my nexus one/S/Gnex. I just received my shipment from ghost armor for my nexus 4 and can confirm that the glass feel applies to this phone as well. Going to get it installed at the mall kiosk because I'm so bad at it. I can report back if anyone is interested

Is it possible to take some pictures of the ghostarmor on the phone? Thanks. Do any of you also have some sort of TPU case as well? Was wondering if that fit over the Ghost Armor.

I swear by Ghost Armour... the best, in my opinion

Defeats the purpose a bit, I know but it's got the TPU case on it and the edges (volume and power button side) cannot be felt, nor is the screen protector affected by the case (unlike my GNex - the POP! case is really tight)

i also have a tpu case on top of my full body ghost armor, but one side is a bit stretched out and wont fit 100%... nothing really noticeable !!

I put ghost armor full coverage on me and my girlfriends phones and she would just toss the phone in her purse and there would be no scratches when we went and got FREE replacements at the ga kiosk there was no scratches on the phone. I'm probably going to order one today... Possible two sets of full body protection

--wrong thread---

I can vouch for the quality of Ghost Armor. Used these screen protectors for all of my devices. It adds good protection and just the right amount of "resistance" to touch, all while maintaining excellent clarity considering the durability of the material. Good scratch protection and self-heals most of your typical little scratches. I currently have one on my N4, and I am not disappointed at all. The guys and gals at the booth do an outstanding job applying it, and you have a lifetime warranty on it. Can't beat that.

I can also vouch for the quality of ghost armor as well. The camera and proximity sensors are perfectly cut out, and it feels just like glass. It has a wonderful texture and clarity unlike any other screen shield I have used before. I have a tight case on and it doesn't peel at all. Their warranty system is excellent as well, a free replacement if your current one peels/dents (I have yet to experience this). If you do go for the replacement, you may want to bring in your old screen protector if you peeled it off, as the mall stand near me requires that you bring it in order to receive a replacement.
One thing I dislike is that it doesn't cover the curved edges on the right and left sides. I hope they will fix this in an updated version of the skin, but otherwise, to me it is the perfect screen protector.

I also recommend these guys. Outstanding product with a lifetime warranty. I had the screen protector put on my Nexus 7 about a month ago and I am just as happy with it as from day one. Since then I've had my wife take her iPad Mini in for a screen protector as well. Certainly worth the money spent, although I can't vouch for the skins.
