Best static grip screen protector?

Can someone recommend a static grip screen protector, please? I don't like the idea of the ones that need to be squeegeed on there, but I'm hoping there are some good alternatives.
Thanks,

Any experience with any of the other clarivue screen protectors (anti glare, mirror, or privacy)? If so, what were your impressions of them?

i just use the gorilla glass, dont like the feel of the screen with a protector on. Also, with this nice plastic case i got from best buy, the phone can never land on the screen if dropped.

Are you referring to the platinum (rebranded seidio) case?

I havent used any of those other ones, i've read good things about anti glare and ultra clear. but havent heard anything positive or negative about the others.
also, i have used a generic mirror screen on my hero before, makes the phone look nice when its off, however horrible to use in daylight and also screen brightness has to be all the way up so kills battery

I'd like to do this too, I absolutely love the feel and look of the phone without a screen protector. But I am too worried about scratches. I keep hearing people say things like it's Gorilla Glass and can't scratch. I watched the videos where people attempt to scratch the Gorilla Glass screen on purpose and can't. But every once in a while I read a comment from someone that says they got a scratch on their Gorilla Glass screen and they have no idea how. I'm not sure what to think.

Got my clarivue today, installed easy, can barely tell its there and doesn't mess with capacitive buttons on bottom.

Is gorilla glass what the screen is made of? 'Cuz I scratched mine. :-( My accessories were in the mail but I went out on a My Tracks expedition on a local hiking trail over the long weekend (couldn't resist! I've never had GPS on a phone) and I dropped my phone and it got scratched on what must've been a pebble in the otherwise softish dirt trail.
More accurately, my phone fell out of my pocket when I jumped thinking a spider landed on my head.

Received my clarivue screen protectors in the mail today and I am less than impressed with them.

It's not the quality of the screen protector itself that I have problem with. It is completely clear (as described) and has a nice feel to the touch. Not the same silky smoothness as glass obviously, but not a rubbery feel to it either.
The overall cut and fitment of the screen protector is my biggest problem with it. Clarivue says that all their screen protectors are cut slightly small (which is fine) but the design for the epic isn't centered properly. If you align the top correctly (so that the front facing camera and sensors are exposed) you will find that the entire screen protector favors the right hand side of the phone. This leaves you with a noticeable gap on the left side and practically no gap on the right side.
I also encountered some installation issues since the second tab did not want to separate from the screen protector. I wouldn't hold that against clarivue however, but in my case I had to physically separate them which caused the corner to not adhere to the screen properly.
I'm going to contact clarivue about these issues on monday and see what they have to say about it. I've heard good things about seidio's ultimate screen guard and will mostly like order a pair of them when they become available.

I had one custom fitted at a mall near me for 9 dollars. I really cant tell its there and it add to the feel of the screen (less greasy/finger marks).

i have a tiny scratch and have no idea what it's from. I assume it was a rivet on my jeans or some****, kinda disappointed since I've checked out people trying to scratch the screen but couldn't

Does OPO need screen protector

So my OPO arrives tomorrow, but the screen protectors I ordered won't arrive until sometime next week. My question is, should I wait to receive the screen protectors to use it or should I just use it like normal without a screen protector? Any feedback is appreciated!

I'm using without a screen protector. It states to be Gorilla Glass, so I don't think it's necessary. But that's my own opinion.

It's just like any other modern smartphone with Gorilla glass. Some users prefer screen protectors, some (including me) don't use anything. Up to you to decide.

Even Gorilla Glass can get scratched, like sand for instance will do a number on it. All depends on how careful or unlucky you are. My Note 2, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, OPPO Find 7A and OPO are all/were naked and none of them had a scratch on them. I'm also very careful in how I handle and pocket my phones.

I have a microfiber cloth that came with a laptop a few years ago so it's relatively large, maybe 6" X 6" and when I pocket the phone I wrap the cloth around it. I also NEVER put anything else in my left front pocket, money, credit cards, car key, etc. so I minimize the risk of getting dirt or grit in my pocket to scratch the phone, front or back. If it's that big of a deal then get one of the glass screen protectors and bumper case, that should ease your mind.

use a screen protector if it's only from being in your pocket, how about using a flip cover? I bought one with my One, and they are really high qualitiy, especially for that price!

I live in Florida and I have never used a screen protector on any phone starting with the OG Moto Droid.
I go to the beach all the time and I have never had one scratch on any of my phones. I am super careful with them.

I'm using the Orzly glass screen protector from Amazon and absolutely love it. My phones always have glass protectors and always sell well when I get bored.

I ordered the Orzly one. How long did it take for it to arrive for you? Mine shipped Monday

Ordered Thursday received it monday

I never used one in my life. It looks like crap.

I don't use screen protectors and never get scratches. Partly because I don't like the loss of ANY touch sensitivity and I really suck at installing them and it drives me NUTS if there's a piece of dust under the protector.

I would go with Tempered Glass 9H protectors. Every phone should have a screen protector in my opinion. Even Saphire displays are defenseless to fine grains in your pocket.

You sound exactly like my friend, even he has a microfiber cloth in his pocket all the time. Personally I don't like the feel of touch with the screen guard on, but I regret it as I broke few screens may be now I will start using one.

Will you use a screen protector?

Curious of people's thoughts given the inclusion of gorilla glass 4 which is supposed to be pretty good. If you are going to use one, standard or going to thicken it up with tempered glass?

I don't put them on with phones using a curved display, in this case 2.5d or whatever they're calling it. I don't like when the tempered glass doesn't cover the entire screen. I'll just be using one of the clear spigen cases

Already ordered a $4 tempered glass protector on Amazon and should have it here by Tuesday.
I prefer glass since it feels better than the plastic protectors but thats just my opinion. It's either you protect with a case and some form of screen protector, or you don't at all.

I haven't tried a screen protector since my droid incredible and even took that one off. I get phone about every 6 months and have never used them. No scratches visible to naked eye on any. Doesn't mean they're not needed at all, just not for my uses or wifes

Nope. Never had, never will. No screen protector, no case. I'm just careful with my stuff.

youre just like my dad, i don't know how he has kept his iphone 5 and currently 6, in perfect condition w/o any protector or case

I've got an S3 in perfect condition without a screen protector. I won't be getting one for the S6 either but I WILL be purchasing a warranty plan from Samsung.. just in case.

i never installed one on my S3 and sold it after having it for a year without a single scratch,. i have an S4 now for the past 2 years, no protector and screen is still flawless as if it came out of the box.. so my S6 won't have one either.

My Nexus 5 shattered pretty easily, so I'll be using a tempered glass screen protector

I'll be ordering this.

Had my current device (at least the one I've kept) with nothing but the paltry Gorilla Glass 2 on it for over two years now. Screen remains in immaculate condition.
No screen protector for me.

be careful, some verified purchased reviews have been posted... not good. i would wait to see if they improve their design bc their first iteration seems to suck

There are two versions of it. The dry one is the one in the link and it doesnt cover edges of the S6 edge. There is a wet application version which covers the edges.

K, thanx for the heads-up.

Yes. It wouldn't hurt to have a screen protector on your phone. It's added protection. Here's what I've found on Amazon. It's currently on sale for $1.95, pretty cheap yet high quality screen protectors. Check this out.
IllumiShield

i work construction, phone is in my pocket all day. i use my legs to help pick things up and push so im real interested in this temp. glass

never bother with a screen protector with any of my phones with gorilla glass. Even though gorilla glass still scratches none were noticeable with the screen on. The feel and clarity of a naked screen is so much better than any screen protector including temp glass ones. I would only consider a temper glass screen protector if im not using a case but i rather have a bulk of a case than having to use a screen protector.

Yes, Spigen as always!

^^what he said^^
I literally never ever drop my phones and can usually keep my phones scratch/ding free, even on the screen.
at most i'll buy a phantom skin/invisihield to use on the back of the phone when i lay it on a surface, but the screen always stays uncovered.

I ordered a screen protector yesterday for $1.99. It'll be more than sufficient until some of the glass ones are refined and are perfect.

[Q] Collreall Tempered Glass Full Cover

Has anyone tried out this Coolreall tempered glass screen protector? Appears that its edge to edge like the Nillkin protectors. Ordered one, should be here in the next couple days.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WSRBXLS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I like how it says explosion proof, I am sure a grenade would destroy the screen protector and the phone.

I think they just mean that the glass shards won't go everywhere if the glass breaks. it will stay intact. No flying shards etc.

looks really cool. please post pics after you get it and let us know how you like it

I'm getting one on Thursday as well.

would be interested to see the results as well.

Unfortunately, they sent me the wrong color. I was asking for black instead of gold. I'm now trying to figure out if it's worth the hassle in exchanging.

My Coolreal tempered glass screen protector arrived today from Amazon. The quality looks really good, and it will definitely cover the entire screen. My only concern is that it appears the adhesive is only on the gold border and not the center of the screen. Haven't put it on my wife's S6 yet.

UTLK Galaxy S6 Screen Protector HD Clear Tempered Glass
I couldn't wait for the others to test these, so I bought the white version from UTLK on amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WOA5HM0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
Just installed it and it looks interesting, I mean its different from other glass protectors I have used before on my phones. but this definitely covers the whole screen and bezel, there is a little haloing as you see in the pics but they are disappearing. There screen protector quality attracts a bit of smudging which is not common in high quality glass. Overall I think its a good option at the price.

I installed one on my wife's phone last night. Results were good, some slight haloing around the edges as well. Hopefully they will disappear.

Thanks for the photos and mine has some haloing too. Going to wait a few days and might try out the UTLK brand if the haloing does not go away.

I got that one from Amazon an like the others there was a little haloing but I had to remove it as my tech21 case was pushing the protector off every time I press a side button... now I'm using those smaller protectors but I think I will end up with a plastic one... (I like my case ok?! heheheh)

i had the same exact problem with the Spigen hybrid case. i decided to send back the case and hope that the Diztronic case doesn't have the same issue as i really like the Collreall protector.

Does anyone know of one of these Edge to Edge screen covers that has adhesive on the screen as well and not just the edges?

The one I removed had adhesive on the screen. No problems with touch.

The one I just applied has adhesive on the screen. (And also as much halo as the last protector I had )

Ah, OK I wasn't sure these had adhesive on the screen or not, thought that maybe had something to do with the halo. Oh well.

Sounds promising. I like to try a full adhesive one like that someday on mine. Hopefully the gaps on the sides won't be too large on this?
I'm currently using an edge only adhesive glass protector, which covers most of the screen and is case friendly. With that I mean , once the case is on you cannot see gaps on either sides.
Downsides are the black OLED screen looks grey for some reason with the one I'm using . Example with the screen turned off the n9 looks black, but with the screen protector I'm using it looks grey.

For that price, I'd rather get the whitestone. Just me personally.

looks good, damn expansive too, but will it work??
i tried some of these back then for the note 8.
they all lift at edge of both side and the bubbles keep coming back. they just not sticking good enough.
only in my experience, i never trusted these false result product anymore until they proven by many reputable xda members and you-tube reviewers.
good-luck with you purchase.
please report back if they are legit.

I've had bad experiences with the dome glass screen protectors before. No matter what I do there's always glue around the edges that pickup dust which is unacceptable for a screen protector that expensive.
I just hope this screen protector turns out well and will report back to you guys when I receive it and install it.

I have the whitestone on my S9+, once you wipe the glue off the edges, there's no dust issues. Granted, I have mine in a case (simple TPU) as well.
