I have to say, these are the worst screen protectors I have ever applied on any sort of electronic equipment. Picture quality looks like garbage and it feels horrible. The matte finish makes them feel gritty and a pain to use the phone. Cheap eBay screen protectors work better.
Anybody else used them?
I bought them. I'm stupid for doing so. Rocking the Zagg now. I guess I feel smarter...
Yeah. I never bought them. I received the Fascinate in a trade and the person included an extra. At first I thought they were just horrible at applying screen protectors but then I applied the spare and it looked exactly the same. :/
My friends all have Verizon Screen Proctectors for their phones, and I have to agree, they look like complete crap. I've just been recommending Steinheil and Reallook to them, and they ask why, and I show them my screen. Almost invisible, its like the screen protector isn't even there, and my friends are shocked.

Zagg is worth it. Really is an "invisible" shield. Can't even tell it's there.

Ehh, Zagg is ok. Really comes down to personal preference, but Zagg's matte look and feel isn't really what I would want in a screen protector. Steinheil's Ultra Crystal Clear Protector is amazing.
The Anti-glare screen protectors are garbage no matter where you get them from. I ordered some from ebay and LUCKILY I ordered some regular screen protectors as well and after about 5 mins with the anti-glare I took it off and trashed it and the others and put a regular one on.
Also, the mirror finish screen protectors are bad too
Yeah. That whole matte feel is not my deal. Honestly, cheap eBay screen protectors have been fine.for me with a perfect application and I am very picky about this stuff. I use invisible shields for their body shields though

Agreed bought them when I had my Droid x and have to say "anti glare" is deffinately just a marketing ploy. If you take them back and tell them their crap they will give you a refund. That's what I did. I only reteerned two
OMG yes! Worst purchase I have ever made.
Why am I the only person who doesn't use screen protectors for this exact reason? I like my amazing AMOLED to look amazing.

I too dont have a screen protector on mine even though i bought some and have them sitting in the desk..for some reason i think they will interfere with the sensitvity of the screen.
i made the mistake of buying two packs of verizon's screen protectors when i bought my phone. they were on clearance and i know why after trying one. they were horrible. i was reluctant to buy them even being on clearance after having sensitivity issues on my Rogue, but i figured if nothing else it would protect my screen until my online order of protectors showed up.
i use screen protectors that i bought off some random seller on ebay and they work fine. i get about 5 months or so of use from each one. very clear and no sensitivity issues. i dont know how necessary protectors are with the particular glass on Fascinates but i dont want to learn the hard way. i forget the protector is on there most of the time.

Exactly! But does everyone know that the Fascinate comes with Gorilla Glass, which is way tougher and scratch resistant? I am using mine "naked" so far, and no scratches yet.
So the screen looks great!
Anybody had any bad experiences going naked? (should I reword that? I don't want to hijack this thread!) Just looking for warnings about not using a screen protector.

All I can say is that I received my Fascinate used and there was a scratch on it, on the glass but to the side of the screen. Very light, but it was there. Screen protectors just give me a peace of mind hah.

I'm actually considering taking mine off, although the girl at Verizon actually did a good job of putting it on and mine is clear so I can't even really tell that it's there. But I definitely have more scratches on the screen protector than on the area around it (yay Gorilla Glass) and I'm wondering if the screen protector collects more fingerprints than the glass. Anyone know about that? I know some phones have oleophobic coatings but I'm not sure if the Fascinate is one of them.

The fascinate is not one of them, at least from my research.
I have thought about going naked. I am using the Steinheil Anti-fingerprint protectors for a number of reasons. I am sure no one here would like them because they degrade the screen quality but I love them. No finger prints, no glare, 2x faster finger motions (heh yea) across the protector vs. the stock screen.
I'd image that the screen is much like a car windscreen. It will look great for years to come but over time fine micro scratches will build up.
the screen protector they put on my phone came off by the time i got home from the store. heat must have warped it, and would no longer stick. ordered a different one online
Wonder how these are going to work with the bevelled screen on this one?

This is lie, GorillaGlass is scratchable (is this word right? ) too..

Not easily scratched.
The screen protector takes away from the beautiful viewing of the screen and (I don't care what anyone says) lessens the touch screen responsiveness.
I had a screen protector on my HD2 for a while, and have not been happier since removing it. And I've had Invisibleshield, BodyGuardz and BSG. They all lessen the experience. Since removing the screen protector on my HD2, I have not had a single scratch. And that's after 3 months or less with the screen protector on and 9 months or more with it off.
And what the HD2 has is not as good as what the Sensation will have in Gorilla Glass.
Don't use lame screen protectors man...
I used them on my HD2 like Darnell_Chat_TN for like 3months. Now almost 8 months later I still have 0 scratches on my naked HD2. You just need to look out if you put it in your pocket with keys etc.
I've got a Thunderbolt which is said to have gorilla glass, but some users are still reporting the glass to be getting scratched. There are some very clear screen protectors which you wont even notice on. I recommend you place a screen protector on. Realook is what I've got on mine.
Well I never knew it, but the HTC HD2 does have Gorilla Glass. No wonder the screen is so strong.
No screen protector for me and loving it . Now I know I won't use one on the Sensation after seeing the difference with my HD2!
I think the screen protector on my G2x is one reason I didn't see the brilliance of the IPS/LED screen as much as it was hyped. Had one on my Nexus One before I had the screen replaced for the first time (dust, still a problem).
My wife's Nexus One has endured a LOT of purse-abuse and doesn't really show it. It's amazing how people can scratch these modern screens in daily use.
look in this thread at the screen protectors link. i couldnt link directly as i dont have enough posts.

I am one of the people who likes to be extra careful. Besides, I've seen various types of damage inflicted on the supposedly scratchproof Gorilla Glass, and I just don't buy into the claims made by the company. More durable than conventional glass? Sure it is. Indestructible? Definitely not.
I'll definitely be slapping a screen protector on my Sensation.
+1 for a protector. I am over protective of my devices and it shows. I take the case and screen screen protector off and it's practically brand new.
I take such good care of my stuff that I have a regular clientele of friends and family who buy my old phones off me, because they tell me it's like buying the phone new.
Shouldn't be calling people lame for wanting to protect their stuff. Not everyone on these forums upgrades their phone every 6 months.
Has anyone got a screen protector on their Sensation? I'm just wondering if the bevelled screen effects it.
I use the Boxwave ClearTouch Crystal screen protector on my HD2. I tried about 4 other brands and the Boxwave works best for me. Screen is almost as vibrant with the screen protector as it is without one and the touch sensitivity is fine. It also seemed to be easier to install than the other protectors I tried.

I had my nexus one for a year without a screen protector as well and no scratches what so ever. I used my wifes phone that has a screen protector and I don't like it at all. So no screen protectors for me for this one.
I can't wait for this phone to be released!
Gorilla Glass is not 100% scratchproof ( Proven on my HD2)
well It is really hard to brake.
You can consider buying a nice sleeve for your phone .
It is in my opinion a better solution
What I mean : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql37A-SgA3A
There is really no need for a screen protector. Care for your phone. It after all a remarkable peace of technology. Not just a toy.
Although I f you want a toy just get a Samsung.
100% Genuine plastic toy feeling.
bought a gel case with screen protector. the screen protector didnt fit. shame as the case is perfect. managed to drop phone on floor by accident outside. not a mark on the screen. will still get screen protector though.

That list says my G2 has Gorilla Glass too. It was a strong screen but it did get a small scratch. So I bought a [URL="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004763E9M]Realook Premium Screen Protector[/URL] it is truly crystal clear and responsive.
Same here, screen film also doesn't fit.

I bought the HTC screen film however the sides around the screen as its kinda lipped up would not apply correctly (bubbled up). Remove this after a few days and found a desire protector, applied it successfully, however obviously its a bit short. bought a case from ebay and it came with a protector, which covers the screen but does not go all the way to the edge, stuck on well and no apparent "bubbles". its ok quality. case is ok silicon case
The other thing I like about the screen protector I have on my HD2 (Hence my preference for screen protectors, is that the matte finish cut down the reflections on the reflective screen. That and I'm a klutz!
Hey guys!
I just bought a screen protector from Expert Shield, and I hate it. What's the best screen protector brand that you guys recommend?

I still want a screen protector...
Any other suggestions?
I buy em cheap and I buy a lot. If it gets smudged replace it.
You can get like 4 packs for like $2 on amazon. Change em out once a week.
Try an Otter box: I have one on my HTC desire: keeps it mint, saves it from drops.
FG
I'd recommend either a Zagg InvisiShield (some people don't like the texture) or Ghost Armor.
invisibleSHIELD by zagg
A combination with this and otterbox is what I have for my NT and it brings the best of both worlds to work for you....
How about invisible shield?
you can go to zagg's site. Sorry can't post link but just do a google search.

What do you guys think of this? http://www.spigen.com/sgp-samsung-galaxy-s2-screen-protector-series.html
I have searched the forum and online and have found conflicting reports on the specs of the Photon LTE's screen.
What is the glass made out of?
Is it Gorilla Glass? If so, what version?
I have used Zagg Invisishield on my TP1, TP2,a nd Evo Shift.
Is the Zagg worth it on the Photon LTE?
Thanks.
I have the device, and there's no way to definitively "know" what the screen is made of.
Moto has a history with Corning, so it's quite likely there is Gorilla Glass here. Who knows what version - they say it is somewhat water "resistant", so perhaps that helps narrow it down?
Zagg screen covers are good. IMHO a screen cover is essential on any touch-screen based device, just for the protection of your investment. Hell I put them on my camera screens that aren't even touch-enabled.
You will affix the phone screen protective film to protect it?

Yup
Considering that I have a 3 year old brat and a big fat slippery hand, yes I would definitely put on a screen guard
Yes I always have one on every device that I own. I prefer tempered glass, so lets hope that someone makes one thats good quality for it.
Nope, haven't used screen protectors in more than two years. They take away the premium feel of the screen. Gonna get me a case though, since I will be carrying it around in bags an such

Anyone tried one of those spray-on screen protectors?
I remember linustechtips did a review on one with impressive results. I think it was called Liquid Armor.

Tried that Crystal spray on on my phone, did not notice any difference. Phone still got scratched .
I won't be using a Screen protector on the Nexus 9, currently have the tab S 8.4 and i use it without a SP. Screen feels so much better without that plastic on top.
I am not one for film screen protectors, but I do like the glass screen protectors
I guess the good thing about a glass protector for the Nexus 9 is that you don't have to worry about the sunken button effect that you'd get on an ipad.
Are there any for sale yet for the Nexus 9 ?

There's several hands-on videos that comment on how much glare the Nexus 9 puts out. You think any of these tempered glass screens could help reduce glare?

No idea..... Most likely will not but you never know...
Also the glass screen protector has been shipped as of this morning
I had the same question too.. The only company that claims to have anti-glare coating and a tempered glass screen protector is BodyGuardz. I talked to them earlier and they had no plans to release a Nexus 9 version, nor they have a UK presence.
Also, I havent seen many out yet (which makes sense) but there are a few on amazon. I was wondering if you came across any 'good brand' tempered glass screen protectors I can order now and hopefully will also help in reducing glare.
