What's the best screen protector for the Galaxy S?

I'm looking for a clear screen protector with a cutout for the front camera. It needs to perfectly cover the screen. Does anyone here have any recommendations for one to get?

perhaps you could spend a few min browsing trough the screen protector thread.
plenty of revies of what ppl like.

i'm using many freebies ones that are very good, but..........
traces of oil from my face and fingers are horrible
on the other Screen Protector topic, some one mentioned a brand that is SUPPOSEDLY Anti Oil resistant

The best screen protector is already on it. Gorilla Glass!
Otherwise I just use one of those 5 for a couple of quid on ebay. Not bad at all.

Case
Hello,
I bought a really nice case for only 7 euro's (https://www.b2ctelecom.nl/CASETSI901/silicone-hoesje-voor-samsung-i9000-galaxy-s-white-tsi-tp.html). I am very happy with the case, it fits perfectly.
I also bought this screenprotor: https://www.b2ctelecom.nl/MIRRSI900...en-protector-voor-samsung-i9000-s-galaxy.html but this is not a good one. It looks like the screen is darker and putting this on you don't get the fulle benefit of the super screen
This shop has more goodies for your Galaxy S (see https://www.b2ctelecom.nl/p/10/mid/3/tid/1312/samsung-s-i9000-galaxy.html)
Good luck
Thijs

I prefer to go naked. Clear screen protectors are fingerprint magnet, and matt screen protectors look bad. There's no in between.

Gotta agree with that.

I'd put a protector on if I were you. Don't learn the hard way like myself. I was going naked screen for a bit and as every day went by I was confident the screen was not going to get a scratch.
Then I accidently shoved the USB cable with my phone in my pocket and bang - scratched it. Just a small one, but enough to be seen in reflection.
Better a screen protector get scratched and replaced rather than the screen have an unrepairable scratch for it's life.

For sure I'm going to get a screen protector. I just find it funny how some people would bother posting in this thread telling me to go naked when I've clearly made up my mind. The glass is scratch resistant and not scratch proof. Like you, I also stuff coins and other small items into my pocket in addition to my cellphone so I wouldn't be surprised if scratches form if there's no protection on the screen.

SGP Steinheil Ultra Crystal
or
SGP Ultra Oleophobic Film

I give the thumbs up for the SGP Ultra Oleophobic Film as well. I'm usually it right now and think it's probably the best one I've used on any phone so far. Extremely clear, smooth, and responsive. And easy to clean!

Where did you bought yours from? Does it have a cut out for the front camera?

You can get them on ebay for a decent price. They don't have a cut out for the front camera but I don't mind that.

+1, I am really satisfied with it. Too sad there was no cover for the back camera in the package.

I bought a Case mate case for it which comes with a screen protector. case will hopefully arrive today, so I'm hoping the screen protector is a good one

There's no cut out for the front camera but in all honesty, the shield presents no discernible degradation in front camera quality.
I got mine from Cretouch, but you can also find it available from SGP eBay resellers or SGPcraft themselves.
The oleophobic properties of the screen aren't as pronounced as I would like, but it still beats non-oleophobic screens. I was using the Martin Fields protector prior to this one which was excellent in terms of clarity, but it looked like a greased pig had gone to town on it after you were done playing with it.

i recently received my galaxy and made sure i got myself a good screen protector. after all everyone raves about the screen and i'm sure after a 2 year contract it's going to have a few marks without one.
i bought a Martin Fields Overlay. Not cheap but more than happy with it, I've used the cheap ones from ebay on other phones and they definitely aren't as good.
it includes a cover for the camera lense as well.
sorry new account so cant post direct link, just google martin fields screen protectors.

I put the Invisible Screen on the 2 i9000's we have and am happy given the circumstances. The protector certainly holds some oil and grim but it's easily cleaned. I'm willing to deal with the cleaning for a scratch-free screen.
Screen protector only (what I did)

Full body protector

[EDIT] forgot to add that the protector DOES have a cut-out for the front facing camera

Why would you want a screen protector when you already have gorilla glass. It doesn`t scratch that easily. It`s not resistive touch screen. It`s capacitive and it`s gorilla glass. Enjoy the clear display without worries is my suggestion.

i have copter, the same as IS and it looks like crap! Wonder if its the pentile that creates interferance patterns... IS looks good on lcd

Tempered glass? or normal screen protector?

Will you take a Tempered glass or Plastic on your Nexus 9?
The tempered glass very helpful for anti scratch but too heavy and thick.
Price of Tempered glass much expensve than Plastic one.
$17.9/pcs of Tempered glass in this store:oiostore meanwhile $10.9 of plastic one(Nillkin Glossy)
Price is $11.9~$16.9 on aliexpress.com, different seller offer difference.
For me, I don't like any screen protector on my tablet pc....

Tempered glass feels and looks so much better. And i doubt you'll be able to notice the weight difference.

Tempered glass all the way!

I order one similar to this and there's two hole on the protector, one on top and another at the bottom. Does your have an opening for the front facing camera and another one at the bottom?

I have a tempered glass protector on my S4 and love it. The feel is superb, is not prone to becoming dull and scuffed like the film type protector and simply makes me feel I'm swiping the original surface. Can't wait to get one of these on my N9!

The link shows a glass protector for me "PLESON® Premium Google Nexus 9 Tempered Glass Screen Protector (2.5D 9H Hardness, Superslim 0.3mm)". In fact, both of those links appear to be pretty much the same thing (look at the product images with the hammer).

That's the one i ordered. it feels like any other tempered glass screen protector. but it's odd how there's an opening on the bottom of the protector. There's a opening for the front facing camera and a smaller one at the bottom. Not sure why there's one at the bottom unless there's some sensor i dont know about.

tempered glass for quality experience

Just received and installed my Plesion tempered glass protector. It fits perfectly. The cutout is very close. So you better be extra tedious when you install it. The feel is excellent. Little to none finger prints noticed. Over all, im happy with it.

So my IVSO screen protector arrived finally, I got these:
http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00OMNEY1M/
Overall the cut is nice and is a good fit for the screen, albeit a bit tight with very little room for error. There is a nice cut out around the speakers, front camera and what I assume is the currently disabled notification LED on the bottom. I thought I messed up because I had many micro-bubbles under it after the application but those seemed to have cleared out after a few hours. The screen itself is not hampered by the glass in any way and my fingers glide across it perfectly fine. Time will tell how well this lasts but it feels solid.
I purchased this really early on when it was like 7 bucks plus 5 dollar shipping. The price has now gone up by almost 100% to 22 dollars and I'm glad I ordered it pre-production.
If you guys have any questions about it, you can ask me and I can try to answer as best as possible.

Have you seen the latest reviews for the screen protector? I haven't yet received mine and am worried that those claims are true and that it isn't real glass and more like a thick plastic. Like this one: http://amzn.to/1AbijlY

No i haven't seen them review. Perhaps the reviewer received fake item. I don't know but I'm sure mine is 100% glass.
Keep in mind these things are made and shipped from China. There is a good chance fake stuff got through distribution channels.
I've received a fake UAG case from Amazon for my old S4 before. So i know it happens.

There are multiple layers in a good tempered glass. If you accidentally remove the layer between the top layer and the glass layer adn the glass is broken it can shatter into micro fragments, though that is less likely to happen.
Mostly you will just remove the tempered glass altogether. Mind you that you cant reapply it properly again(like a screen guard).

Thanks. It's the removal side of things I don't like the sound of. A benefit of a protector is that it's 'sacrificial'. Sooner or later it will get scratched or damaged and need replacing...

I am facing problems with tempered glass, the shop vendor applied the glass and it was not properly fitted I also complained him for the same, he told the screen of your phone is little curved hence it will not properly fit on ur phone, I doubt his contention, is anyone facing same issue or shall i try any other glass....

I already tried three tempered glass from different manufacturers. But all have the same problem. Its doesnt covers the whole screen. And the display looks weird when i watch videos because of improper glass placed on my screen. The shopkeeper gave me the same reason as you got. So i think we will have to wait for proper tempered glass.
Our Moto X Play comes with a Corning Gorilla Glass 3. So i don't think that there's a need for a glass protector. As we apply it just for the peace of our mind. But actually there's no need for it.
Here is the official link for Gorilla Glass 3 http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/en/glass-types/gorilla-glass-3-with-ndr
Have a look at their testing video for gorilla glass 3. You will be surprised by the results.:laugh::good:
P.S. - I HAVE NO TEMPERED GLASS INSTALLED ON MY MOTO X PLAY :silly:

Even though we have gorillaglass 3 it's still always always always better to protect the screen some extra.
If you accidentally drop it or put it in your pocket with keys you can scratch your screen gorillaglass or not..

I'm afraid he is telling the turth, curved edge won't be fitted properly, there is always a halo exsit, yet you can still try some other brands with smaller size to avoid halo.

Ohh my poor MXP waiting for proper tempered glass if anyone got the glass please inform the same....and thanks for info....

Try the TUDIA Premium Quality HD Ultra Clear Tempered Glass. Tempered glass with rounded edges exclusively for Motorola Moto X Play.

In case you don't like the fact that the glass protector doesn't fit well, or that it easily breaks or feels sharp to the touch at the edges, there is an alternative.
You can use one of those soft screen protectors that use the same material as the protection of helicopter blades.
These are soft enough to bend themselves over any curves of your phone and provide excellent protection.
They absorb quite some impact or at least disperse it because they are soft and they are claimed to also 'heal' themselves if the scratch is light.
The feeling is completely different in comparison to glass or hard/sturdy plastic protectors, but I like it.
I think skinomi has one for the moto x play, znitro had the same style soft protection but apparently not yet for this model.

Yes, they are my protector of choice at the moment. Also available here
http://www.xtremeguard.com/Motorola-Moto-X-Play-Screen-Protector-p/moto_x_play_screen_protector.htm (not the 'dry' one). And don't bother with the 'full body kit' as the Moto X Play's rubbery back is such that the back protector doesn't stick well.
Use Coupon Code Fall75 at checkout: get 75% Off. Also free delivery (US). They always have large % off promo codes.

Excellent suggestion, they are cheaper than any I have seen so far for that particular type of protection.
The full body doesn't work very properly for any model, it just comes loose after a while.
You need the raised edges of the phone around the screen to protect the protector's edges.
Always keep in mind that these things are stretchable and they can jump up a bit on the edge after some months.
So you need to install them micrometer perfect.

They worked fine, front and back, for my Nexus 4. I replaced them every few months, but they're cheap enough to be able to do that

After 2 weeks of careful use and only sticking the phone in my blazer pocket without anything else I also have some microscratches.

Tempered Glass Protector

I was going to go with the Pleson brand from Amazon, but the latest reviews say it lifts around the edges. I want the glass to have circular cutouts for camera/flash/mics. Has to fit well on the screen with very minor margins. Anyone find something else that fits the bill?

I'd like to know this too. Anyone?

I actually have both the Skinomi and the Pleson glass screen protector. The Skinomi brand came in slightly cracked in two different places which made two different air bubbles that wouldn't go away and got bigger day by day. I emailed Skinomi and customer support seemed really great, they sent out a replacement that got here in 4 days. Only it wasn't a replacement. I told them twice during our exchange that my device was a Moto Z Force. They sent one for a Huawei Honor 5X. I emailed them about it and they said they are now "updating the design" on the Moto Z Force techglass protector and it wont be available til the 25th of Sept. I too was skeptical about the Pleson protector but I bought it anyway and I have to say I am very satisfied with my purchase, idk what kind of crappy application the other buyers did to have so many errors on the edges of the screen but this screen protector not only covers more than the Skinomi one, but I don't have a single air bubble. I have Pleson's cheap little TPU case also, and I have to say its also nice in my opinion.
You can see from these two pictures:
1. I don't have a single air bubble (Click the picture to view the full size image)
2. The dust remover sticky thing works wonders, I literally don't have a SINGLE spec of dirt/lint under the glass.
This was AFTER removing the thing like 3 times just to get it "PERFECTLY" over the front of the device. Honestly you forget its even there with this case that covers the edges.

I went with the Sparin ones and they are great. I was actually pretty surprised. I'm very anal when it comes to screen protectors. A set of 2 and a bunch of tools in the box to get screen protector on well for only $8. It was easy to install, great fit, and touch remains delicate and precise.

You do realize the phone comes with one preinstalled as part of the shattershield right?

You do realize Shattershield is shatterproof because the topmost layer, what you touch, isn't glass, its plastic. Which scratches insanely easily, dents easily when dropped(because plastic), and can be easily removed with a simple razor. So no, it isn't a screen protector. Which is why I say tempered glass is the way to go as tempered glass has a much higher scratch resistance than a shattershield display, and in my opinion, glass feels better than a plastic screen.

I left it, removing the plastic shattershield layer would more than likely cause more issues than necessary if you don't contact Motorola about a replacement layer. Especially if you plan to just throw on a glass screen protector on it, your phone screen might be like, concave.

Yeah and the screen can still be scratched and dented easily but won't shatter it happened on my first moto z force

So I ended up removing the Motorola shattershield with a razor. Was easy. Come in from bottom right corner to get a lip and then slowly peel off. No heat needed. It's a slightly firmer version of the skinomi plastic and I ended up putting a tempered glass replacement on it which looks and works fantastically. It really ups the look of the phone and just feels nicer

Definitely would dig seeing how that looks.
I've tried 2 different glass ones til I just got fed up, went to Verizon and brought the Zagg one for 34.99. Covers proper and looks and feels great.
The Pleson would've been great if it had seated around my finger print reader and ear speaker - the cut outs are very well done. It just didn't happen tho.... Ah well.

The Omoton 2 pack one on Amazon is lame - it barely covers the phone - pretty much only covers the display and stops pretty short of much else... They emailed me to explain the "curved" glass screen... Meanwhile Zagg and Pleson covered most of the screen! If we could get Pleson's cutout and Zagg's adhesive - we'd be golden.

I didnt know Zagg made a glass screen protector for the Z force?

Would like to see this as well. The wife and I both have damaged the front screen already and been waiting for Moto to come out with the replacement screen but still shows it as "Coming Soon". I have a slight scuff on the center towards the top and she actually dropped hers after tripping and chipped the screen in four spots. Kind of funny that we have never used screen protectors nor damaged one before and we get the one with the "shatterproof" screen and done it to both

Yeah, but the screen didn't shatter... [emoji14]

Glad to hear it! I totally recommend it as a go to and cut out all the guess work from the ones on Amazon

Shatter shield removed, no replacement
I removed the Shatter-Shield plastic because it was scratched and I'm planning on replacing it with tempered glass, but what they're really any be any problem with keeping the Shatter-Shield off and not replacing it? Aside from warranty issues

I have heard pro's and con's to shatter shield. Yeah it may scratch,,,but wont shatter if it is dropped. I guess that is why I put on the zagg glass screen protector asap to avoid scratches on the plastic part of screen. The Zagg screen protector from Verizon is really great looking and feels very smooth to touch way better than the original screen.

Get a camera lens protector, before it's too late

The protruded camera lens design is always a disaster waiting to happen. Simple day to day activity can scratch/crack the lens. But looks like this is the design trend with most manufacturers these days.
I have purchased a protector for my lens, and it is working well so far.

I wonder if a One Plus 3 lens protector could fit. I hate ordering from ali express, shipping takes forever

Sent from my LeEco Le Pro3 using XDA Labs

A good case like this works for me

see if you can get a dimension from the seller, or a OP3 owner. Looks like they might fit.

So it does not fit.

So mine is cracked now. Anyone been able to find a replacement glass lens?

I totally agree with this. I'm very gentle with my devices. I keep them protected and in a pocket that never has anything else in it. My camera lens already has scratches on it. I've never had scratches on any of the device's I've ever owned. Whatever LeEco is using for glass is very soft and easily scratched.
With that said, I would very much like to order a protector, but I'm afraid of waiting another 30 days by shipping it from China to the US.
I've been unable to find any other camera protectors made for this device being sold within the US. Can anyone direct me to others they've found?

I ordered the one from Aliexpress in the OP. Works just fine. However, took about 2 months to actually get it.
Here is what I recommend.
1) Order a SUPER CHEAP screen protector
2) Create a template for the shape of the lens
3) Trace it onto the cheap screen protector
4) use an exacto knife to cut out the shape from the cheap screen protector.
It doesn't even really matter if it fits perfectly as long as the area in front of the lens is protected.

This is a good idea. But the protector better be a tempered glass rather than regular plastic screen protector. Plastic ones would get scratched and might affect picture quality.
On the other hand, you can probably cut out like 20 of these from a single screen protector and change it every week.

Absolutely agree. It could at least be a good solution while someone waits for their protector sent from China. My previous Pro 3 (before the screen shattered and I received a new one) ended up getting a nice scratch on the lens while I waited for my shipment from China. I was super careful, but still scratched it somehow...

Had the tempered glass from Alibaba for a couple months and it has been great. It is the first time I ever bought a screen protector for a phone camera before. No scratch on it so far and it is beveled well enough that I don't feel the rough edges bothering me. I will probably order another just in case since I generally find tempered glass without edge protection to crack relatively easily over time.
