Just placed my order! Guys these are the best protectors around... Here are links to the Ultra Clear and the Anti Glare. I've only used the Ultra Clear, I think it would be a crime to hide this beautiful screen with an anti glare... There is a new video on these pages showing install on a Galaxy S... you can literally install them this easily and then lift up with the stickers to remove any dust with another sticker if you get any. You get 2 per pack.

Why did they give our phone that big gap at the top while the other models get that nice clean cut look?

I'm assuming you mean the fact that the protector doesn't go all the way around the speaker bezel? That I'm sure, is to avoid issues with that tiny little bit of screen protector that would otherwise be there, failing to stick or lifting. The less cuts and tiny bits you have on a protector, the longer it will last, because it will be less prone to lift or stop sticking or catch on something.
I actually prefer that it doesn't go all the around for that reason. I'm having issues with my current protector (the stealth guards one) having that tiny bit slide around and not stick well, it looks like crap...
Also, you're not going not notice anyways once this thing is installed. It's exaggerated in the picture so you can see the what the screen protector looks like. Once it's installed, it's as clear as glass if you put it on well. You'll probably be hardpressed to even notice it's there except for the "lip".
Thanks!!!! Just placed my Ultra Clear order...yay!!! They are truly best ones out.

I ordered one regardless, but after reading a bit more into it, I get what you mean. My stealth guards cover isn't having that problem, but seeing how SGP doesn't use as much adhesive, I can see how it could end up looking crappy.
Finally! Now I'm just waiting for those cases they have for the other Galaxy S phones.
Ordered mine yesterday... Thank goodness, because they are already "temporarily out of stock" if you try and order one today...
I had this on my droid inc and loved it. I am stoked they are finally out for the fascinate. Now I can throw away the crappy verizon one.
anti fingerprint or ultra clear???? i dno what to get?!?!?!?!!?! helpppp
edit: the ultra clear is out of stock anti fingerprint it is.
wow they are fast. just got my shipment email
i'm going to order one but i dont like how firefox requires me to authorize web certificate .. doesn't seem so safe
Got mine already. I ordered it yesterday morning. It looks great to me.
Where the hell are all the good SGP cases!?
anyone comment on the quality of their silicon cases vs others?
Damn I want the crystal clear one, wonder when they will be back in stock.

It could die. But seriously... screen protectors? Why bother wasting your money? To be honest, you might need it if you have say keys in your pocket, but who's stupid enough? I don't know but screen protectors are a waste of time and money.

To be fair, I use screen protectors. Just to be on the safe side, and they are non-obtrusive. And a waste of money? I have to disagree with that. I got 6 screen protectors off eBay for 99p UK seller- UV protection, anti-grease, anti-dust, anti-scratch. They last for about 3 months.
I think if you want to be safe, get a screen protector. They might protect your screen from damage one day, and for pennies its a worthy investment.
I disagree with Screen Protectors being a waste of money. My phone was in mint condition until I bent over and my phone slipped out my pocket.
It landed face down, on stones. I now have a scratch going right across my screen.
You get really cheap ones. But don't waste your time with those. You won't be able to see very well through them.
Go with Martin Fields protectors. Way more expensive, but worth it. I have one now.
I've used a Martin Fields one since day they were released and, combined with my HTC pull cord case, I've not got a mark on my handset. Small outlay for piece of mind IMO
I got some of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/FoneM8-Desi...UKGK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1305831209&sr=8-1
Crystal clear, cheap as chips and doesn't interfere with the phone in any way.

exactly the same as me since i bought my desire. perfect combination and my desire still looks like new.
I'm using Martin Fields atm. I like the fact that it comes with camera protector as well. On the other hand I find it more "scratchable" than Brando Crystal Clear I've been using before. After a year it's so scratched I gotta change it. I'll try either 3M Vikuti or Writeshield Crystal now - these are are said to be among the best.
I do recommend to buy a good screen protector and apply it properly - this is a really good guide:

You'll never notice it's there, it'll serve you a long time, you won't have to bother with several ****ty cheapos that require frequent changes and worsen the overall user experience (worse screen clarity, bubbles, don't fit to screen properly, don't stick on the edges, unpleasant in touch etc.).
This is my take on screen protectors.
I've been using a Zagg protector for the last 6 months. Excellent protection but find the screen isnt 100% responsive or smooth.
Tempted to try another but worried that it wont go on and fit as well as the zagg...
Has anyone experience with the original HTC-Ones (HTC SP P360)?

I have purchased an HTC Desire from Electronics a week ago. Their services were great and shipment response time was awesome. I am a frequent user of any cell phone. This is the reason why I need a new screen protector. I have also purchased an Iphone 4g unlocked from Electronics, but their protector is the best. HTC guys are bad in giving bad quality protectors and we have to buy protectors once each month. I just want to ask you guys one thing that what will happen to the mobile phone if rain water goes inside?

I had a Zagg and hated it. It distorted my screen and was not smooth to touch and drag on. I have the Vikuiti (3M) one mentioned in the "perfect application of a screen protector" thread and I couldn't be happier. I've had it on for more than a month. If I didn't know better I wouldn't even know it was there. It's VERY smooth and crystal clear so it doesn't interfere with the screen at all.
I just ordered a Brando anti glare one from there site, after watching some video's of it on youtube it looks very good.

Hey guys,
I am considering to buy a Zagg protection for my device.
I have three options.
I keen on the 1st one "Maximum Coverage".
I am asking from someone who use it to share with me his experience.
My questions are:
1. How easy is the installation?
2. Any bubbles after?
3. How about the sense of touch of the device? Is it too glossy?
4. Any serious dissadvantage that I haven't notice?
Thank you in advance for reading that.
maybe just me but have NEVER managed to fit a shield without bubbles.
allegedly phones fitted with gorilla glass, but that wont protect against keys etc in your pocket.
no noticable difference in screen sensetivity.
saying that i still use one to protect my resale value
I dont use them. But I have done that before. Remember to turn your phone of and let it cool down for a short while so it does not atract dust and you don't get buubles . And there is lots of videos in YouTube that shows how to do it right. I have had my dhd almost for a year whithout protection and don't have any scratch still. So even without it you should be fine.

My DHD is 22 months old (since Okt 2010). A month ago, my HTC wore a new chasis (bought it cheap from e-bay). I like the cold furbished metal finish that gives me. Thats the biggest reason I don't want to wear it a plastic Zagg.
From the other hand I am afraid of drops and scratches.
That's my dellima I am trying to anwser with this thread.
I had one on my iPhone when I had it and think they are brilliant!
Easy to fit without bubbles, go for it!!
Depends how much damage you expect is going to occur. I bought one of these at best buy. It does a full lifetime warranty. But its a pain. A week after buying it I had a huge scratch in it. I don't know how. But it shouldn't have scratched so easily. Applying it wasn't hard, but you do get bubbles and corners that wont stay down. What I find best that works is to buy a cheap protector for a tablet or iPad. You get about 5-10 screen protectors for the price of a single one. just cut to fit and apply. Make sure to get the ones with the spray, it cuts application time in half. Just don't use too much or you'll get water under the volume rocker and become bricked.

I put invisible shield on an iPod and a camera screen. In terms of protection, they do their job, but I would recommend against them for a touch-screen phone:
1) it is "sticky" to the touch, your finger doesn't glide across the screen
2) it picks up dirt and grease much more than a normal protector - and is difficult to clean/keep clean
3) it's "relatively" easy to apply, since you will wet it and then just place it on the screen, and iron out bubbles with a credit card or similar. HOWEVER, you will end up with an "orange peel" finish, which looks ugly and makes it difficult to view your screen.
Instead, get a good quality screen protector like Brandon (one that will cost approx €10), it will last longer without scratching than the cheap ebay ones, and as a result it will probably last the life of the phone.
i have invisible shild on my dhd ...it's nice because in the first week when i buy my phone, i scratch him a litle bit..so it protecting your glass and you don't get that fingers amprents like on regular screen :good:
I just bought one last week from Amazon and I am waiting for it to arrive.
Thank you all, so far, guys. I 'll stay with cheap screen protectors, and the leather case with the metallic stand.
Update.
The screen protector arrived a couple of weeks ago and I installed it right away. It was easy to install and I like the quality of the screen protector. I would recommend this screen protector to other owners. I plan on buying one for my Nexus 4.
I have install the invisible shield only on display without any bubbles. This was easy. Today, after two years, the shield have protect my DHD display very good.
I would buy the ZAGG products again.

Hi, I'm going to swapping from Sprint to Verizon. I would like to know opinions on screen protectors for this phone. Currently I have a Zagg Invisishield HD on it, which is "ok" at best. Dent and ding recovery is very slow and often not very effective on the protector, it also produces a plenty annoying rainbow effect under high light situations. I'm wondering what people are using for screen protectors and your opinions on them. I don't mind paying a premium even for a silly screen protector, as I plan to have it on the second the phone comes out of the box, and forever afterwards.
I can't provide much for empirical data, but I've used Zagg before and disliked them immensely. I use the standard one from Verizon and it works great. My finger moves across the screen smoothly and have had no issues whatsoever. Lasts a very long time and sufficiently protects the screen from car keys, change, etc... in the pocket with the phone.
It's not the most expensive route; but has worked well for me.

The standard Zagg doesn't let the finger slip well but the HD version is much closer to glass. I was surprised how much orange peel there is on the HD still. It's still my go to protector because of the self healing properties but it's far from perfect

Ghost armor stuff does look interesting, I am however concerned on it peeling off easily after it being on for a while because of the definite resistance it will have on both sides (I would get both sides, otherwise it just seems like a different zagg for the front). Also what kind of indentation will occour on scratches and what not, would be my next question. Replacement seems to be a b* if i were to get any indentation/scratches on it. Most annoying thing with Zagg HD is the indentation and "would be" scratch marks. They are extremely apparent and don't recover at all/well.
I have a dba just like glass and I like it. It does have some cons, line not covering the full screen. Try and look for a wet application, they are not intimidating at all and are very easy to install. If you mess it up, just take it off and start over.

Not a fan of "buttons on top of buttons" unfortunately. I don't need a full body version, so long as the screen is covered. I baby the crap out of my phone but I just want a screen protector because that's something you can't get away from (scratches) no matter what you do with your phone unless you practically don't use it.
Also, I seemed to have missed the first response in my thread. I was debating just buying whatever and not caring too much about it (I honestly don't care too much about it, but if there's something that's close to perfect I'll buy it for near any amount of money). My phone's off of amazon however so now I'm forced to look for myself instead of being the irresponsible buyer and having a limited choice
Edit:
SPIGEN SGP Samsung Galaxy S3 Steinheil Ultra Nano looks promising. Debating on that and anything I see within the end of the night (need to order it today to get it in time with the phone as well).
I had the ZAGG invisishield HD and it was nice to look at but pitted and scratched way to quick. Then I went with Armour Suits one and it was the same way. Finally got the regular ZAGG invisishield and it seems to hold up nice. Not sure I like the rubbery texture or not though. I work around metal all day and I have shavings and dust on my fingers 24/7. The ZAGG already has scratches on it but I'll wait to send for a new one till it gets worse. I also tried going naked for awhile, and after about a month I had a faint scratch on the screen. But if you're not around metal or sand much, go naked!

I put on one of the ones you get on the Verizon store that are about 13 bucks (you get three) and you barely notice that it's there. I feel convinced that if I had it on, my screen would have survived a fall much better (it is now cracked along the bottom).
Have you ever tried BodyGuardz? I have one on my phone and I couldn't more happier with it.

These are my favorite Tech Armor. I love the way they feel on the screen, your finger slides across them with no drag what so ever. I also love the anti glare feature of them and it helps a LOT. They go on easy as long as you take your time doing it and don't try to rush. They don't have any kind of self healing to them, but because they're so cheap it's easy to just replace them. I baby my phone as well. You get three in a pack and I usually replace mine like once every month or two. Even if you end up buying three packs you can replace it almost ever 45 days and still pay less than the $25 ones.
I tried Zagg HD and a bunch of other ones and liked these the most. I'd take you a picture but the only camera I have is my phone lol. My biggest gripe about the Zagg was even though they claim you get a life time replacement warranty, and you do, you have to pay $9.99 shipping to receive a replacement. You can buy a whole new set of these for that price. At least try these out, for $7 you won't be disappointed.

I have quite a few screen protectors for my s3. I would say Spg Ultra nano is probably the best one out there. Easy to put on, hardly no fingerprints and easy to swipe your finger across. The ones I have tried are Zagg HD. I hated it cause it dimmed my screen and also it was hard to swipe my finger across the screen. Next I tried DBA just like glass. Easy to apply, swipe across the screen was great. But what made me take it off was it attracted way to much finger prints. And also the edges around the screen didn't seal. And I wanted 2 weeks and still no seal. Then I went with the spg ultra clear nano. Best one out there if you ask me. Hardly no fingerprints, easy to apply, sealed perfectly and easy to swipe my finger across the screen. Ordered from spg store online. $15 for 3. I have had it on for about 3 months now and still holding.

I agree with the Spigen ultra clear nano. I don't think you want to take your keys to it but it's so clear you can't tell it's on the screen....I cannot find the edge of the screen protector. I've had it on for a few months and it's very fingerprint resistant, nice feel, similar to the stock screen. Before this screen protector I had never used one...got these for my wife but since it was a 3 pack I used one myself. I will say that these are probably not as resistant to heavy abuse as some of the thicker/uglier/extremely noticeable ones are.
Wife and I have been using Zaggs for years now... as have my friends. Initially, Zaggs are somewhat "tacky" and don't let your finger slide easily. But after it "dries" off completely (or breaks in?) it's just fine. I'll admit, naked-glass and some other screen protectors are smoother, but we all see no problem with the Zagg operationally.
More importantly, is the durability. My wife loves to toss her phone in her purse, and it invariably gets jammed with keys and such. Her older OG Droid was naked for about a week and picked up scratches quickly in this environment. The Zagg prevents this COMPLETELY. It does "scar" if it gets hit hard, but with a lifetime warranty, replacement is cheap and easy anyway. In the end it protects the device immensely... can't beat that.
I used to use cheaper screen protectors (Kingston?) on my old Palm devices, and they needed to be replaced about every 3-6 months as they get more and more opaque or worn over time. The Zagg never does this. I realize newer protectors are better, but my friends who use cheaper ones often have the same issues. So, for me, I'll stick with Zagg.
I haven't used a screen protector on my gs3 and all I've noticed are small scratches that are only visible if the screen is off. It annoys me a bit but you can't even see them when using the phone.

This glass scratches easily for me. I went about 2 weeks without one. Being very careful I still found very small scratches.... Can't really see them without looking at a certain angle but definitely there. Go with an armorsuit wet apply. Just take your time putting it on and let it rest over night. Applied it with good pressure and it came out perfect for me. Don't even notice I have one. No lifted edges eaither.

My phones don't scratch. I don't really need a case or a screen protector, but there were times when I would put a matte screen protector(ArmorSuite) to eliminate fingerprint smudges. I don't keep my phones long enough to warrant buying accessories for it.

You can of course buy screen protector, it won't do harm to your device. It of course depends how well you take care of devices. For example one of my friends drops phones a lot or just while talking may hit it against some object(not on purpose). If my screen doesn't get scratched, I don't see a point in buying one. The longest I have used a phone is for 6 month(many years ago) and after that all of my phones were used no more than 3 months.

I don't want you to get an impression that I am rich Basically what I do is: Buy a good phone of my choice(I buy mostly used in excellent condition), use it for few months and when you see something you like, sell it(I sell on eBay), then purchase another model with the money you got from selling your previous phone - this continues for many years. Just take good care of the phone(no scratches, marks...) and if you don't use accessories that came with your phone, then it is even better and you can get better price.

I tried without for few days. Scratches are visible. Good to get protected.
I never saw the point in a screen protector. Gorilla glass is really hard to scratch. My s5 after over 2 years of heavy use only had a few very minor scratches, and the screen on the s8 is even less scratchable. Unless you regularly use sandpaper to navigate your phone, you shouldn't need a screen protector.

I've had my S8 since it launched and I don't have a physical screen protector on it. All of my previous devices had glass screen protectors on them. Since this phone has curves I didn't bother with one. The TPU protectors I can't stand because they dent soo easily, and for me it's worse than having scratches on the glass. I have very minimal scratches that can only be seen in certain lighting which don't bother me at all. I decided to buy the Woosh Diamond Defence liquid screen protector after the scratches appeared to help reduce future scratches (also applied some on my camera lens). I've had it on for about a month and no new scratches have appeared (that I can see) so far.
I have a case. I tried a protector but like normal I got annoyed and threw it away. No scratches and I've had it for about 4 months now. I hate screen protector they make the phone look worse than if they had scratches so what's the point? It's like when people cover there couch with those ugly ass plastic covers.

This glass scratches easily for me. I went about 2 weeks without one. Being very careful I still found very small scratches.... Can't really see them without looking at a certain angle but definitely there. Go with an armorsuit wet apply. Just take your time putting it on and let it rest over night. Applied it with good pressure and it came out perfect for me. Don't even notice I have one. No lifted edges eaither.

This is the same screen protector I use on my S8+ and I have not had any issues with it at all
i'll be applying the Spigen Neo Flex to mine because people seem to have trouble with glass
i've noticed a tiny tiny scratch on the screen and my pockets are always empty
Anyone else kept that plastic protector that came installed on the phone?

This is the kind of thing that scares me. My Note 4 has seen heavy use for almost three years now and the glass is utterly flawless. Lot of these S8 threads have replies like "Oh I've had it a couple months it only has a few scratches on it."
I've always used glass screen protectors on my phones and it's kept them immaculate, but I've tried two diff types of glass ones on my S8+ and I just cannot get them to stay on for any length of time, so I'm going without which sucks,but what can you do?
