Anyone else using the sprint screen protectors for their epic? I just bought a pack and I'm really disappointed with them. They are just big enough to cover the screen it self. So there is no margin for error when putting them on. Also I think they are supposed to be anti-glare so make the beautiful screen of my epic hazy and almost pixelated. Any suggestions for decent clear screen protectors?
Does the epic really need a screen protector? I thought the screen was made from some super durable stuff?

i know i made the sprint people put one on
i can take the hazyness until i get my skinomi
i recommend skinomi
Its still plastic and there are a lot of things that can scratch plastic.

I'll give skinomi a try. Thanks.

I took mine back for a refund. They just cost too much and made the screen feel unatural. They let me keep the one I had installed already until my new protectors came.

People have been saying that the skinomi ones are too long I think... I'd recommend the phantom skinz one since I've had no problem, they have a cut out for the sensors and camera (which the skinomi does not have) and they have a lifetime guarantee.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
this is the one im talking bout i ordered one it has lifetime replacements and openings for the sensors and cam it is awesome on the htc hero so i hope it continues
Well, all I know is that at least the first batch of Skinomis didn't turn out so well. See this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=746037
Too long, but possibly good customer service? And like I said, no cutouts for the lights/sensor/camera. Skinomi has gotten plenty of good reviews for other phones, but for some reason the ones for the Epic haven't been well received.
the site i posted showed a different pic check it out
The Sprint ones are total crap. Took mine back a few hours after I bought them.
yes they are but fools wont take it back cuz i used one
Screen protectors are a waste of your money on this phone

I suppose the people with scratches on their glass already would disagree.
I work in dusty, dirty environments. Any phone of mine is getting protection.

Yup! I am no doubt in the minority but I have managed to scratch my screen. It was in strange circumstances having to do with hiking on a trail (and I hardly ever hike, less have my phone out...) but scratchedy it went. No 20ft heights or bouncing. Just fell face down from my pocket on a dirt path with a pebble somewhere in there. They're not invincible, people.
lol unless ur doing stuff like that you dont need a protector
under normal use pocket car table things like that no but if ur roughing it why not protect it and get a skinomi

Scratched mine easily... I have 2g steel plugs on my lobes, and the first time i heard them click against the screen I knew I'd have a problem. sure enough, there are tiny scratches from where my ear hit the screen. My fault for not putting a protector on sooner.
Also managed to put a little hairline scratch down by the menu button, but i have no clue how i did that.
Got this nasty scratch on my Infuse screen, put one of these on, you can barely see the scratch. Its actually epic. Also, this things almost indestructible. You guys should really check this out...

Yeah a lot of people already know about Zagg InvisibleShields. I had one and to be honest I actually started to dislike it. The texture is a bit hard to slide your finger across. But yeah it is protective. I like ishieldz better, the same **** like invisible shield just has better texture and easier to slide your finger accross the shield.
Wow... how did you scratch the screen!? I've shown people how bad ass the Gorilla Glass is by using this phone as a cutting board with a razor blade!!

It happened one day when I slipped it into a pocket and it got scratched on a metal button...
From XDA App on Infused v2.2.3 OCed to 1.6 GHz
Mine worked fine until one day I had it in my pocket and when I pulled it out the InvisibleShield had completely unglued and slid around, and it was never the same afterward. Threw it away and run topless now.
invisishield and simil.ar protectors are good for a month or two before it turns yellow (dont believe me, take it off)
also there are similar (cheaper) products out that have a similar material but have a better feel (not so sticky to the fingers after it is installed) but most need to be found on amazon or ebay because they arent carried in stores.
hard plastic protectors are too easy to scratch. either way it is a compromise but i like the ones they sell at the att store with anti glare and no adhesive so they are washable and reuseable. easy to scratch but other wise they are the smartest thin i have seen but a little pricey.
Another alternative to invisible shield is Ghost Armor. They're based out of Arizona but I think you can order it online. I have to give AZ companies a little shout out!

Topless... haha. i bought those cheap 5 pack from amazon. ****s are pretty good. today after like 3 months of use still on the first one, i scratched it my self with a staple to see if it would scratch. it did. they were like 5 bucks i think, 3 month use and still going, 5 pack, and doesn't move around. i really like it.
sorry i think i Hi-Jacked thread, but anybody who is interested in these here is the link. trust me they work awesome. Link to Screen Protectors
I love the Zagg Invisibleshield screen protectors but it's not worth it for me because they're a bit too expensive to be putting on my phones and I switch phones alot

I agree with u. I have always used Zagg Invisible shields (on AT&T Tilt, Captivate & and also on Infuse). But just replaced it with a cheap $5 one when i was at a mall. Didn't test the scratching part yet, but it looks really really nice & much smoother.I'll never use Imviaible shield again.

Are they selling them in UK? As the last time I contacted them they advised to wait until someone starts reselling them but not sure if anyone has. But yes I've read that they are pretty good screen protectors.
As to knight screen protectors - its the first time I've heard of them from this thread but would be interested to see how they perform and if they are actually any good.

Yeah the guy sells them in the UK and posts worldwide. Will need to do an in depth review since no one seems to have heard of them. I should receive them either today or tomorrow.
I've got one on my n4. Good full screen coverage, really easy to apply. Quite gummy in use, but not too bad. I've got it on front and back. Only problem is that my poetic bumper case makes the corners and edges detach so I can't use it anymore. I do prefer the size without the bumper, but its a shame I can't protect the sides.

EDIT - I refitted the protector as I had an annoying small hair stuck under it. I got it more central this time and the poetic bumper fits fine with no edge raising or affecting the adhesion. I've tried a couple of different wet types on other devices - this one is by far the best.
I've just fitted one tonight on my LG G2. Will post in a couple of days what I think of it. At the moment it looks a little pants but that may just be down to the way I fitted it. :laugh: Lots of bubbles that I'm hoping will disappear in time. Back looks great though.
I'm generally pleased with my screen knight however I wonder if anybody has tried to take one off ater it's dried out. I'm a little concerned it may not lift well?
Thanks for the tip, I'm also going to try out this one.

I hope I'm wrong but I think this will add bulk to the phone which might be an issue for some if not most cases/bumpers, specially if you are already using a front glass protector. Again I really hope that I'm wrong and look forward to seeing any pictures/video reviews of the item from the community.

"bulk" ? It's .5mm!
After having the front one from them which is .4mm I found that it adds a little (for lack of a better word) bulk to the phone. The cases/bumpers would normally have a nice lip around the phone so when you put the phone face down the screen would never touch the surface but with the front glass SP that nice space that the lip would create would be diminished because the cases/bumpers don't go on top of the glass SP but right next to it pushing against it, so in my head I'm thinking that having that in the back or having both in front and back would be a bad result. Maybe I'm not explaining myself right but it makes sense in my head :silly:

I'm very curious about this product, I'm wanting to use my phone naked (yes I'm crazy - but extremely careful) never ever dropped any of my phones.

Hey I did receive it a while ago. I had some complications with it. When I applied it to the back of my phone it made it look really weird... It looked kind of like there were air bubbles underneath and looked kind of smashed on the bottom. I removed it to see if I applied it again if it would look different. Same thing. I was a little disappointed about how it looked and took it off. The bottom where it appeared to be smashed wasn't actually smashed. It was part of the adhesive that was not sticking to the glass. The entire back of the protector is a thin layer of adhesive. I ended up peeling the adhesive off the screen protector. It was kind of like a double-sided, thin, sticky piece of rubber, if that makes sense... I'm sorry I don't have pictures. I love xgear products but this is the poorest experience that I've ever had from an xgear product (really the poorest experience I have ever had from any product i've bought for my n4) . I think maybe if the adhesive was only on the edges like it is on the screen protector it would have been better. I think the air bubble looking effect was from the adhesive sticking to the phone... I don't want my money back or a replacement if it was even possible. My phone was very very clean before I applied it, I understood fully what I was doing when applying it. It just wasn't a great product at all. I still love xgear though.
Edit: Oh and to answer the question about the official nexus 4 bumper, Yes it will work with this. Also, shipping was very quick.
Wow so sorry to read that you had such a poor experience with it. That sucks!
If at all possible, could you take a few pictures of the screen protecter and the adhesive that was bubbling up? Thanks!
Sent from my Nexus 4
Could be possible that it was a bad batch?
Hopefully someone will upload some photos soon!
I thought the full clear no border tempered glass protectors had the same rule as the dry screen protectors. Namely that you get the bubbles out that you can and then the rest come out after 24-48 hours. If you look at the installation instructions on the clear protectors for other phones I believe that is correct.

How did you removed it?
SENT FROM MY RAGING NEXUSâ´ ?
I've already thrown it away. When I say it looks like air bubbles I mean something different. They weren't air bubbles at all. That's just the best way I could describe it. You can remove the protector by just prying it off from one of the edges..
I should have taken pictures but I was so disappointed I just threw it away. It was a really weird issue. If you have the money to spare try it out yourself. I love the idea of the protector but I won't be buying another one. I wouldn't even want one if it was free. I don't think it was defective... I think it was just the way it was made. And just to make it clear I'm not wanting to make the company look bad, I myself just wasn't satisfied with the product. I love xgear and the screen protector I bought from xgear that is on my phone right now.

That's a great surprise that UAG is making a case for the Note Edge. I emailed them about 1-2 months ago asking if they were going to create a case for the Note Edge but they said they had no plans to do so. So I am very happy to say the least!
http://www.rugged-stuff.com/galaxy-note-edge-uag-rugged-case-maverick-clear.html
From the appearance, I don't know how it would protect the "edge" screen if the phone were to land on that side directly. But, having a case like a UAG would make me feel more at ease carrying the phone around.
Things are looking up for the Note Edge because it now will have a UAG case + Zero Lemon responded to an email I sent a few months ago mentioning they are working on an extended battery.
The only thing that the Note Edge would be lacking is a tempered glass protector(which I really hope some company releases) and the lack of compatibility with the Samsung Gear VR.
I've also seen wireless charging backs for the note edge, kind of pissed that it's still not included out should i say isn't built in but at least I know there out there,I believe I saw them on eBay, both in black and white

Thats the one I order. Mines should be in this week.
There are 2 versions, one woth the edge part open to access it. The other it would be close like a note 4.
I doubt there would be many cases that would protect the edge while still letting you be able to use it.
Lol this reminds me of "the Santa Claus", "wgat if I fall off a roof tho"
But o do remember a giy doing a review and he said that there is a lip on the phone (metal side) that should hit before the glass. Due to it sticking out more then the glass and big heavier.
