Steinheil has their Ultra-Clear screen protectors available for the DROID Charge. I just ordered one and I'm hoping it works out better than the ZAGG Invisibleshield did on my Fascinate. See here
I put their incredible shield plus the ultracrystal screen protector on my Fascinate, and absolutely love it. The tacky feeling around the phone is nice for grip (especially with games) but still can slide in my pocket. And of course, the screen protector itself is smooth as glass.
Nice to see it coming out so soon for the Charge, it was weeks before the Fascinate's was available.
I swear by Steinheil. I love the way they glide onto the surface, no hassle and no bubbles.
Which version have people tested? I see they have 3 types.

I got the ultra-crystal as I didn't want any distortion to the screen and don't really care about fingerprints as they can always be wiped off.
I know I'm double posting, but I wanted to bump this to share. I got my screen protector in the mail yesterday afternoon and was able to put it on my phone last night. The ultra-crystal protectors are THICK, much thicker than I was expecting. Installation was fairly simple, didn't have to turn my phone off or anything, which is nice coming from ZAGG. There is no distortion to the screen at all, and you can barely tell that I even have a screen protector on it. I unfortunately got a small piece of dust that I can't get off at the bottom edge and that is the only place you can really see that something is covering the screen. Will see how it holds up over the next week or two, now that I'll be a little less careful since the screen won't get scratched.

I love it too, and the areas that weren't fully pressed down due to what I thought was dust disappeared, so I guess it just took a little time to fully fasten itself. The fit is almost 100% matched to the glass, so you really have to look to see that it's even there.
Looks like they are temporarily out of the Ultra Crystal. I was going to pull the trigger and that option is gone...
Edit:Well, it looks like the full-body shields ship with the UC screen protector, if you wanted full coverage.
Quick question: do these shields cover or interfere with the front-facing camera? From the illustrations, it looks like the shield covers the front camera.

It covers the camera, but the protector is completely clear, and although I haven't taken any pictures with the FFC, the image displayed on the screen when using it doesn't show any distortion.

They're sold out of their stock on sgpstore.com but I grabbed one off Amazon (sold by SGP Store, stocked by Amazon) yesterday with free shipping (got a compatible HDMI cable and TPU case with it to make $25) and it shipped today. They're only showing a couple left in stock then good luck finding one until they make more of them.

Where was that?! I just spent a good twenty minutes looking on Amazon for it and didn't see it anywhere...are these really worth the price? I assume yes, given the reaction you all have to Steinheil's products, but thought I'd ask.
I got the ultra crystal. I can barely tell it's there. Lots of finger prints... but I don't mind too much.
How does Steinheil compare to Bodyguardz, Zaggs, BSE, or clean protector?
I ask cuz I'm looking for full body protector? Plus does anyone have discount codes?
If you can wait a week or so just get some decent cheap ones off ebay like these
http://cgi.ebay.com/5-CLEAR-Screen-...238019?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a66966f03
I ended up ordering some of the ultra crystal from amazon and am very impressed.
I am less impressed with my skills, I managed to get a little piece of dust on my second attempt to apply... but other than that the thing is perfect, and my dust ended up being in a corner so i didn't want to waste another protector.
Definitely worth the money, all other protectors "ruin" the screen for me, its such a nice screen, but it still needs protection.
I had a good experience with Zagg, but hated the rubbery feel. So, I was looking into getting a Steinheil protector.
Any stores carry these like Best Buy does Zagg? Or is it online only?
I bought the cheap 3 pack from Verizon to hold me over and ugh. Super clear, but bubbles on the edges are almost impossible to prevent. I love the texture better than zagg, but there is some glare outdoors.
Is it possible to get these cheap ones on with the edges coming up? I ask because I don't think I ever seen a phone without the bubbles on the edges.

who uses a screen protector and what is the best one?
Ive had this one on my phone since early December and no complaints or problems. Highly recommend it. http://cgi.ebay.com/3x-LCD-Screen-P...Accessories&hash=item27bcad8c90#ht_500wt_1139
I usually go to RadioShack. They have cut to fit ones, but don't use the "Wright Right" ones, as they suck, MAJORLY. They scratch way too easily, and have removable film on only one side. I prefer the kind that has removables on both sides. Basically, I peel off the back, then apply, and there is another film sheet on the top that I can keep on while I use a credit card to pour on the pressure to apply, then remove that upper layer film and have a pristine, beautifully applied screen protector. Oh yeah...
You don't really have to have one.. this screen is unscratchable. I never have used one and there is not a single mark. I personally like to take a pair of scissors to it as hard as I can to show off to friends. But do as you please. Lol

Unscratchable my a$$. I had to take my screen protector off for 3 days and it definitely got scratched.
If you keep it in a pocket, sand (quartz) can scratch it.
i had one for my moment and the problem i had with that was that when i would drag my fingers across the screen it would slide smoothly, it was jumpy that was a zagg screen protector just wondering if there was something better or if they are all created equally
I have an extremeguard.com shield on mine, not terribly happy with it, I've had zagg shields and bse shields and they where pretty similar. So I would probably recommend one of those over the extreme guard.

Zagg invisible shield. Hands down.
Its like $20 and if you get it at a mall kiosk they'll apply it for you. It also has an unlimited lifetime warranty. So if the protector gets scratched, if it peels up/comes off you can take it back and they will give you another protector and only charge couple dollars to apply the new one.

I just got a cheap $1 3 pack from amazon, I figured I could use them while I looked around for some better ones. Turned out they were better than I thought. I can't even tell I have a screen protector, and I have 2 spares although a lot of people said that they sucked because they would leave bubbles, but if you've ever applied screen protectors you know that the bubbles are human errors and not the products fault. And for the price why not try them out. But whatever you do DO NOT get that crap wright protect from sprint, those just suck. In case anyone was wondering yes they were cut out, even came with a little card and cloth.
I work in a sprint store, and I ended up ordering the $1.49 anti-glare protectors on ebay.
For one; they are way cheaper than even my employee discount on the Write Right brand 3 pack, and two; they cover the entire front bezel.
They are awesome, go on smooth, and I like that the matte finish makes it smoother to use the screen than the naked gorilla glass. (I'm not worried about scratches as much as the feel of using the screen - big reason I hate the Invisible Shield protectors.)
I still actually like the ones we sell in the store, and I've put on a lot of protectors for customers, and these almost always go on really well with no bubbles, and no need for a squeegee (meaning no need for the top plastic cover.) Some people really like the privacy anti-glare protector that comes in it, but not really a good idea if you want to use it for GPS (unless you have the phone pointed directly at you.)
The write right brand aren't a bad purchase, but to be honest, you could go with the ones in the link above, and get a better product for cheap from a great US seller.
zagg's are probably some of the worst and most overpriced screen protectors. try ghost armor
You can try stealth shieldz there nice cheaper then zagg. Tho zagg is on ebay right now 5 dollars a pop for the kit. also xtream guard is a sweet protector too. All those are worth checkin out.
Sometimes the cheap ass ones work pretty good.

Totally agree, wouldn't own another phone or ipod without the invisable shield.
Best buy has too for 20 but 8>00 to put on for you but they are quick at it and good, definetly worth the extra few dollars to lt them do it.
I just got my one s and don't really have the money for the warranty. After reading around I think the BALLISTIC SG hard cover case is the way to go but I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on screen protectors. I'm looking for some cheap ones w/ anti-glare. Any thoughts about invisibleSHIELD by ZAGG?

Yup, I tried Zagg just because I got their headphones for $10 if I bought the shield. I took it off after a week, the orange peel affect is horrific. I also noticed it was a lot thinner than Ghost Armor, not sure if that's matters in normal situations though.. lol

Hey y'all, noob here, just got my One S the other day, and just got my Diztronic case from Amazon today, love it! Those screen protectors that come with it are crap tho, and was looking into the Ghost Armor. I've had unpleasant results with the Zagg shields in the past, and the Ghost Armor seems to be pretty popular.
One other question, is anyone using the full-body GA skin in addition to a regular case, such as the Diztronic or Incipio? Just curious. Thanks!

I've never had the ghost armor full body, but I did had zagg full body and it didn't peel up. Once you let it dry it sticks pretty well, just don't put a case on it for at least 24 hours maybe more to let it dry.
I'd imagine Ghost Armor would be better, their screen protector is soooo much better than Zagg's.
I actually need to get a replacement from Ghost Armor, for some reason the bottom part keeps wanting to come up.
I´am using the antireflex protector from mumbi and i´am very happy with it. Feels good and looks really pretty.
how it looks GhostArmor Clear for the back ? any pic ?
i'm surprised no one mentioned htc's own screen protector for the one s. there are a few sellers on ebay from uk selling them. i picked up a couple awhile ago for about USD$9 shipped.
Got my Ghost Armor (screen only) today, and just applied it. Took 2 tries, but I nailed it on the second attempt, got it perfectly lined up. I've been going back with the little squeegee and squishing out some of the smaller little bubbles over the last hour or so, and as long as you get the squeegee wet, it works pretty well to smooth out the little guys. So far, I like it a lot, doesn't have that rubbery-drag feel of the Zagg I had on my G2, or the orange peel. I'll report back in a day or so to update.
krusell
I got a KRUSELL screen film for my one S a couple of days ago and I'm thrilled with it. It is completely transparent and does not affect in any way the brightness and colors, and it doesn't have that squeaky feel.
I had an invisible shield on my previous Desire for about 8 months, it's good if you are a frequent phone dropper but if not it makes your screen uglier, it's like heaving sweat on it all the time and also affects the touch sensitivity.
All in all, would definetly recommend the Krusell.
Alright, so I made it about 5 days, and I think I'm ditching the screen protector. Yes, the peace of mind of the added protection is nice, but to be honest, I'm not really worried about it enough to keep this. I had my HTC G2 for almost 2 years, which didn't even have Gorilla Glass, and by the time I sold it, it had ONE hardly noticeable scratch in the top-left corner of the screen.
The Ghost Armor goes on relatively simple enough, but in 3 applications, I've found it impossible to keep at minimum 2-3 specks of dust out from under it when I go to smooth it down, which create a bubble you CANNOT get rid of, and I can feel them under my fingertips when scrolling around on the screen. For someone as anal as myself when it comes to things like this, these make my head want to explode. I'm also noticing around the edge of the film (which doesn't extend all the way to the edges of the screen, and I find this to be really lame), it's gathering dust and finger... gunk. Finally, and I might be alone in this, but I think it takes the sharpness of the display away. Not to a hugely noticeable amount, but it's there, and it bugs the hell out of me.
Any nice cases that are comparable to outerbox but with a lens protector?

I think all matte protectors do that to the One S, I've tried a few different types and they've all been the same.
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

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

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.

Could you elaborate?
Found these Halo HD screen protectors on Amazon. Come with 3 to a pack and only $5.95. Installation is a snap, and they feel very similar to glass. Very smooth, not tacky and no fingernail indentions. As with all of these dry protecors, they do not cover the entire screen due to the rounded edges, but they do have the cutouts for the FFC and sensors.
http://www.amazon.com/Halo-Screen-P...8&qid=1359990165&sr=1-2&keywords=Nexus+4+Halo
Forgot to mention that they also send you another pack of protectors for free just for submitting a review anywhere on the web.
So a lot of these amazon reviews are just there to get a second pack?
Not saying that the product isn't any good, but it still makes me suspicious concerning how much you can trust those reviews.
I have a pack of these. They seem ok and you sure can't beat the price. For this price if I get any scratches or edge lifting I have no problem installing a new one.
Agreed, but to be honest, the instructions do not require a positive review. And furthermore, the insert within the packaging said I have been "chosen" to receive a free pack which leads me to believe that the offer is provided randomly.
All things aside, I have been very happy with my purchase. Even without the free offer, I still got 3 screen protectors for ~$6.00.

Of course they don't.. but as the person doing the review, you would still think that a positive review is more likely to get you a second set.
I get that positive reviews are extremely important, I just think that incentivizing them in this way is less than ideal.

They don't require positive reviews. I had an issue with a faulty pack a year ago and left a bad review. They sent me out a replacement for the review and even sent out an extra pack to make up for the trouble. Never even asked me to change the review.
Seem pretty honest and it seems like they just want to get the word out. If you want to see some fake reviews, go look at some other protectors on amazon where the product is all 5 stars.
How would these compare to SGP protectors?
I have the matte of this brand on my phone right now and I absolutely love it. Definitely would not have left a 5 star review if it wasn't deserved. My friend bought the clear ones and gave me the other two although I didn't need 'em, but from what I could tell from seeing and testing it out on his phone, they are of the same high quality as mine. Definitely happy with this product, I got 'em when they were only $3 including shipping though.
I just replaced my halo with SGP. SGP is really nice..... But halo is a bit better. Halo Is slimmer and wider so it looks less noticeable on the phone. Even though the SGP is not as wide, I still have a slight issue with it not wanting to seal on some corners and the edge. Nothing crazy, but again not as nice as halo.
Clarity Is about the same. I would say that the SGP is a tad bit clearer though. Not very noticeable though. SGP feels fairly awesome though. More like the glass. Halo does feel fairly similar.
SGP: tad bit clearer MAYBE, little thicker, feels great.
Halo: covers more screen, slimmer, feels great, cheaper. No lift issues.
I am going to keep my SGP on only because I paid for it band I live the way it feels, but I'll definitely be going back to the halo at some point.

I have the matte of this brand on my phone right now and I absolutely love it. Definitely would not have left a 5 star review if it wasn't deserved. My friend bought the clear ones and gave me the other two although I didn't need 'em, but from what I could tell from seeing and testing it out on his phone, they are of the same high quality as mine. Definitely happy with this product, I got 'em when they were only $3 including shipping though.

May I ask if the matte screen protectors are oil and finger print resistant? And is it possible to post a pic of the phone? I want to compare how much of the screen it covers versus the SGP. I am planning Oleophobic ones but if it this looks more "invisible" that the SGP's, I'd rather have this.
Thanks!

Oleophobic is clear one with layer of fingerprint-proof that will NOT affect the screen quality (as they said)
matte will always downgrade the screen quality

I just replaced my halo with SGP. SGP is really nice..... But halo is a bit better. Halo Is slimmer and wider so it looks less noticeable on the phone. Even though the SGP is not as wide, I still have a slight issue with it not wanting to seal on some corners and the edge. Nothing crazy, but again not as nice as halo.
Clarity Is about the same. I would say that the SGP is a tad bit clearer though. Not very noticeable though. SGP feels fairly awesome though. More like the glass. Halo does feel fairly similar.
SGP: tad bit clearer MAYBE, little thicker, feels great.
Halo: covers more screen, slimmer, feels great, cheaper. No lift issues.
I am going to keep my SGP on only because I paid for it band I live the way it feels, but I'll definitely be going back to the halo at some point.

Thanks for the comparison. I have the SGP protector on right now but I will buy these as backups.

I've had the Halo clear protector for a couple of weeks and I've been happy with it. I'm getting good protection, a clear view of the screen behind it, no rainbow effect or anything like that. Other than in direct sunlight, I don't feel like I'm looking through a screen protector. And in sunlight, I don't know that I'd be seeing much more without the protector. It does take on fingerprints, but that's no surprise.
I found the installation to be very easy, easier than I'd expected. I got it on in seconds and worked out the air pretty effortlessly. About the fit, only a hard protector could cover the whole screen because of its curvature. This is not news to anyone reading these topics here. This protector is just a tad too wide to get a tight seal on the sides, but it comes closer top and bottom. I'm referring to tiny amounts, like 1mm. It's a non-issue to me as long as it doesn't cause the protector to peel back, which hasn't happened at all so far.
Hard to beat the price on this. I'd do it over again without a second thought. I'd considered the SGP and Martin Fields, but to get 4 protectors for this price makes this a no brainer. It's hard to imagine those protectors being that much better, if they're any better at all. And at the low price, going through a few over time is harmless, if it even comes down to that.

How would these compare to SGP protectors?

I have SGP as well and I actually like these better. While both are fingerprint magnets because of the type of SP that it is, Halo feels more "glassier" if that's even a word lol, than the SGP.
Plus, at fraction of the price and you get 3 of them, it's a great deal.
