Hi. I've just broken my screen for my skyrocket and while I'm waiting to get a replacement, I was wondering how I could prevent this event from happening again. Is there some way from protecting the lcd screen from cracking(digitizer was fine)?
Well, how did you break it?

Only way against drop protection is a otterbox defender type case. For protection against puncturing or pressure cracks from inside pocket is a thick screen protector, like zagg invisibleshield
My defender couldn't defend my first SR lol

Great minds think alike．lol
I just got a Zagg HD screen protector and although really nice, I had to replace the first one because the current case that I have was pushing up the edges of the film, causing crap to get under it. I just got the replacement and have yet to put it on as I do not want to have it happen again. Does anyone else have a Zagg and some other case (other than the zagg full body protector) that works with it?
I'm using the incipio Silicrylic case! Love it. It did start to peel up one corner but i quickly restuck it and no problems since. With most case just be careful putting them on, that's when you can really peel off your screen protector. Speck cases are pretty friendly as well, at least they were for the past phones I've owned.

People also say they get the otterbox commuter and defenders with the zagg on amazon, but personally, I find those cases too bulky for my tastes. I want something on the same level as the case that I have. Flexible and easy to put on/remove along with not adding too much bulk.
I dont have Zagg, (skinomi here but same technology) but I use the Incipio Dual Silicrylic. Never had any peel ups and I love the case

Thats the EXACT one I have. I also have Zagg HD and this case coveres the edges of the Zagg perfectly. The only time you will see the end of the Zagg is aroudn the Camera and speaker, other than that all the ends are coverd as well as sides.
My Gripe though... Too thick. Was thinking about Zagg Body armour.
Any thoughts?

Hmm I thought it keeps the slim design of the phone very nicely. Not too thick at all. If you want a hard case this will be the most slim you get.
I got this one, love it.

It's very slim and don't wrap over the top.
My Amzer case comes with a holster, but it's a hard case that wraps tight and is rather low-profile out of the holster (the phone and case are a bit smudgy because I quickly took these pictures during a brief break from housework; you can click for bigger pics):

Hands down the best case that works perfectly with the Zagg HD is the Seidio Active.
This is the one I use and honestly I always use Seidio. You will not be sorry if you get this case.
I use a OEM beltclip case that I got from verizon, no issues what so ever.

Really? I have a Commuter as well. Is there any peeling around the edges of your screen protector? Do you remove the case often? If so, do you find yourself having any issues trying not to mess up the screen protector since the case fits so tight?

If you have the built in screen protector that would be the defender series.

Anyone have any recommendation for a non stick screen cover that will feel smooth?
I'm currently using Great Shield anti glare, it's consistently slick and despite hating the image quality with it on (anti glare makes things grainy) using any touch screen without it feels awful.
I've got a Zagg on my tablet which is a "quality" soft film cover and it doesn't come close in smoothness. Anyone use any brand/type that's clear but with the paper-ish feel of anti glare guards?

I've been using the SGP Steinheil UltraFine (Anti Fingerprint) film since day one. Installed last November and still perfect... very smooth to the touch.
16 bucks for that Steinheil is steep. Is it washable? Amazon description offered little to no info.

By washable I suspect you mean how I clean the surface? No need to ever remove it once it's in place (I've had mine on for 10 months). I wipe it 3-4 times/wk with a microfiber cloth and lens cleaner (eyeglass cleaner and cloth). cleans up in seconds. No air bubbles have ever formed underneath. Follow the directions during installation and you should never have an issue.
I've been using Xtreme Guard and it is smooth. It's a thick layered protector an does not show scratches like the cheap thin ones. I've been using it for months and it's still like new.
Got a Zagg Invisible shield HD put on my wife's GS3 and loved the extra shine and feel of the HD. Tried to order one for my Skyrocket only to find out they don't make it in HD. THEY DO however make one for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Epic 4G Touch, which fits the Skyrocket. Looks and feels awesome! Sorry if this has already been mentioned.

Not a fan. The silicone is flimsy and our doesn't really cover the lip of the phone that well. Horrible case imo

It's a minimal dual layer, I have one for my gs3, as well as an otterbox. The otterbox has more protection but you gain mass and heft. I like the incipio because it is slim but still offers good protection
I actually had this one on my phone and was paying for it in the store but I scrubbed the purchase before I could even check out. I think it looks really nice and will probably give good drop protection, but the flimsy silicone would drive me crazy. When you push the side buttons the silicone would buckle. The silicone in the top and bottom didn't fit snugly. JMO. Like I said I looked the way it looked. It was the brushed aluminum dual pro shine with black silicone. Just not snug enough of a fit for me.

I have had this case on my S4 since I got the phone thru verizon, about 10 days . Black on black. I wanted a slim case with decent drop protection. This was a good compromise. The soft inner core does over lap on to the front of the screen a bit, wich is good as I can lay the phone face down without damaging the screen. The soft rubber inner core does attract lint where it is exposed, but I expected that.
so far I am happy with the case. But, I have not dropped it .....yet...:laugh:

I bought the Nuud for the S4. I personally really love it. Not because the **** is expensive but lighter than my Otterbox Defender AND it's such a better design than my prior LifeProof for the iPhone 5. If you have anyquestions please ask. Tag me in the question so ill see it.

During sound playback you can tell a difference from not having the case in but it's not a huge let down like it was with my iPhone 5 Life Proof. As far as voice feedback in the ear goes it does take the noise canceling a second to catch up so on the first ring or so it sounds distorted but it quickly fixes itself. It's not making calls or listening to music. No more opening the bottom hatch to make sure someone can hear me. And as far as the plastic cover goes if you're meaning a screen protector like invisible shield then it will fit. They provide you an optional screen protector to put on (I used it). I do intend on investing in a better one later, probably Ghost Armor. Lmk if you have anything else

Thank you, and I'm asking if you think a tempered glass screen protector would fit on there with the case and still seal? I have the mime feather glass on my phone and its very thin for a glass protector, not much thicker than the usual plastic ones.

I wish the same way on the other side. The OPEX is the same price as the Life Proof Nüüd which I have. I seen your post and I started looking for side by side comparisons unfortunately non exist... The LifeProof are awesome as well.

Whichever you decide get one that isn't nuud and has a built in screen protector, otherwise there's is a risk of leakage. My iPad lifeproof is nuud and it leaks if you are too rug with it in the pool

I just purchased the version without a screen protector built in. The nuud I believe. I have a Mime glass protector (not the thinnest one, but the one with rounded edges) and it fits. Now, I havent tested it because Im not going to submerge my phone just to find out on purpose, BUT it appears to fit and seal normally. ill try to get some pics for you later when I get off work,
Short answer, yes it fits.....

The Obex is good at waterproofing. It's got some cons tho. I reckon the LifeProof will be less bulky. The Obex makes the notification bar hard to pull down cuz it covers the part above the screen. I don't really like the plastic screen protector of the Obex case also. But it's still a good case to consider!

I'm not to happy with my obex anymore. The screen protector is pretty crappy, the case scratches fairly and the colored parts get dirty. I had it on for a while and I'm very careful with my phone and its all marked up case and screen protector. And the protecter isn't that clear either. Yeah it's good that tue case is scratched and not the phone but my otterbox commuter has been on my phone for a lot longer and still looks good.
