Just wondering if you use one or not on the GS3. My first GS3 didn't have one on it, and it magically gained 3 large scratches in the screen (always was left in a pocket alone, nothing else). I had one on my 2nd GS3, but I am now on my 3rd (2nd one had dead pixels) and wondering if I should just rough it out without one, or get one again.
Also if you got one, where from, and how do you like it?
Thanks
I got one from my bro so i dont know what brand it is. But i can tell you it came in a pack of like 3 and it sucks. Rainbow affect ruins the screens potential. Look like its kinda snowy and the feel isnt nice

I'm using the SGP Ultra-Nano, and its awesome, comes with 3 in the package, I've used 1 so far, it does have light scratches on it now though, cost about $12 on amazon.
None here. A month in so far without issue *knock on wood*

i had one on for a bit, took it off though.
This is the best one by far although the SGP is very good also:

After looking at this, I think I will buy some. Thanks for the recommendation!
Screen protectors are more trouble than their worth in almost all cases. If you manage to get it on without putting absolutely hideous bubbles on the screen, then you'll be left with something that just makes the screen "rainbowy" and terrible looking. Second skin doesn't do this but then it makes the screen rubbery and grippy feeling, not smooth like it should be. Protectors also seem to enhance fingerprints making them highly visible. Scratches? I wouldn't worry too much about that with gorilla glass 2 - http://youtu.be/wT8xI4PEU8c
My wife's has two small scratches already.

Hmm just surface scratches? Visible when the screen is on?
Gorilla glass 2 isn't as durable as gorilla glass 1.

Well this guy's doing some ridiculous stuff and no problems. Just sayin. Minor scratches are to be expected from anything. Screen protectors to me are annoying and take away from the experience of the device.

I've used the SGP Ultra Nanos and don't like them. Within a month quite a lot had peeled away from the phone. I think this is going to be an issue with all thin film protectors that the industry seems to prefer with this model (slightly curved display surface).
I purchased an XGear Spectre and really like it. It's a tempered glass surface. Very easy to mount and hasn't peeled or scratched despite subjecting it to the same rigors as my previous SGP Ultra Nano. Nor do I expect it to peel in the future because it's pretty think (0.4 mm) and rigid. Apparently it's think enough that it doesn't fit all cases (I don't use a case). The field of view is essentially unaffected and the glass has excellent optics. At $35 with shipping, it's definitely more of than investment than thin film protectors, but I consider it a good value given the advantages.
I got the ones from samsung at the verizion store when i got my phone (the first day they had them or second)
The dude put on the first one for me and still looks great barley tell its there and its custom fit to phone
Price tag is 14 bucks but he gave it to me and it did go on very nicely no bubbles or discoloring
I don't use one, I'm just careful not to put anything in the same pocket that could scratch it
Same I use the one from the Verizon store 12 bucks, it didn't effect the viewing, it's a dry install and almost no bubbles when done, and you get 3.

I put on 20 of the verizon ones everyday. Done correctly there are no bubbles, no lint and hold up well. Seeing all the hideous home jobs applications, the glossy texture of zags and the anti glare versions I can see why they get a bad rap.
I wouldn't go without one.

yeah, i've got a plain clear verizon one on mine.....actually it was the Cellet Screen Guard..just took it from my store. i put a million on a day, too, so i'm really good at it. i never ever get bubbles or dust. just gotta know how to do it!
also, you guys getting the grainy and rainbow effects, it's because you're using anti-glare protectors. they suck. the clear ones are better.

I've read some stories of the XO Skin uplifting when some users put a case on, so I'm guessing the case fit version is to prevent that.

I guess I would rather be mad that I purchased 3 Full Body N4 sets for $6.00/shipped the pay more than double that for just one.... Hopefully they work okay but I have never really had too much a problem with the Extreme Guards for what they cost and I usually get a great application every time so I will wait it out until we get some REAL good ones coming in... I have never tried XO but I have heard that they are pretty good so def a thumbs up for the coupon code!! :good:
Hey does the full body include a screen protector with it?

Im not gonna lose sleep about paying 9 dollars for a screen protector, who cares xo is where its at you get what you pay for.
Can someone explain me the differences between the 4 options?
http://xoskins.com/cell-phones/google-skin-protectors-cases-shields-guards-armor-screen
As I get it the last 2 (for N4) are only front or back skin, but what are the first ones?
Thanks
Full body = front + back, not sure about sides.
Case fit = slightly smaller on all 4 sides so that certain cases, like TPU cases, don't peel it.
the videos of people taking these things off worries me a little looks like it places alot of pressure onto the device; id be worried id crack the glass pulling it off :S

It doesn't place pressure it's just stickier so it may seem that way.

Does full body mean the screen as well?
1. Full Body Protector is the front and back protectors. The front covers the whole front, including the curved edge - has cutout for the FFC and the sensors. The back covers the whole glass part.
2. Full Body Protector - Case Fit is essentially the same as the full body protector except it is cut smaller to fit with a case. Meaning there are space on the sides
3. Screen Protector is just the front protector, there is no protector for the back.
4. Screen Protector - Case Fit, look at #2 description. It is without the back protector also.
There are no side protectors.. the reason they gave me is that the material Google/LG made for the side is not very adhesive, so the protector will not stick.
Thanks homie ..just ordered one for 6 bucks on amazon too man oh well I'm sure these will be better and u can't beat 12 bucks and lifetime warranty

Bought from atFolix on amazon.
Pros:
Fits with case
-Doesn't lose any screen quality
-Comes with 3 protectors for the front and 3 for the back
-Cuts are perfect
-Cheap compared to other nice screen protectors
-Comes with all the good accessories (to make the screen clear and take of the bubbles)
Cons
-Not the easiest screen protector to apply, I guess it is also my fault that I'm not really handy in those things!
You can buy it here:

Or at their website:

I wanna know opinions of other people also .. Might also do a give away

I'm rocking one of these. Took all 3 of the front protectors to get it right (my fault as I haven't applied a protector for years).
The rear was no problem, using it with a ringke fusion and no lifting from the protector.
Have small scratch on the protector so will have to get another pack soon.
All in all a bargain at the price

I have the slightly frosted/matte effect ones by the same company. They're absolutely fine. Took a bit of work to fit them properly but they've kept my n4 in tiptop shape. I dropped it on a hard floor today, expected the worst and all was fine - not the first time. I suspect these films are helping there to some degree. Buy them. V good value!

I'm looking to get a screen protector asap. I ordered some off amazon and messed up installation due to the fact I couldn't keep dust from getting on my screen during installation. Dunno why my room is so dusty.
I don't have time to wait for something off amazon. And there are best buys all over the place. But I think they only carry zag, for a steep 25.
There's also a tiger direct store down there street but I'm not sure if they carry any.

Att store should have screen protectors if you don't want zagg. I'd get the hd version if I had to use zagg brand, though.

A lot of people say to run a hot shower and steam up your bathroom to help with the dust in the air. Personally after going away from zagg on this phone I probably won't get another one of their products.
I have a Zagg HD and I would recommend getting the tempered glass type. If your hands arent oily there is dragging. Annoying while trying to swipe the screen texting.
Edit: If you need one now then buy a cheap one at Best Buy to hold you over until an online order comes through.

The ones from xtremeguard are really inexpensive but the ones from skinomi are much better.

From my experience, Skinomi are pretty wrinkly looking. Xtremeguard, while much clearer, if you dont get it on just right it will lift.
Bestskinsever is honestly the best wet screen protector hands down

I ordered the total body bumper optimized matte body skin..the front screen protector is the glossy finish, but the sides and back are matte material. Honestly, the glossy sides and back looks way better then the matte material, and also the glossy gives a better grip. IMO, go for the bestskinsever total body gloss protectors..those are the best
