Does a screen protector detract from the looks? Is one needed? Which ones should we use?
I use one, can't tell difference to w/o. As this is one of the cheaper ones (6 pcs for 2 EUR) I think most of the offered ones are fine
Yeah I use one I got a 6 pack off amazon, nothing special just standard screen protector material and you cant even tell that its there. Probably gonna grab a tempered glass one here soon just for the hell of it.

Don't get the tempered glass protector from Amazon. They don't fit the full face of the watch. I have one. They leave like a little over .5mm all the way around. I'll take a pic if you want one.[
It is true that a screen protector detract from look but it's essential until you have gorilla glass.

I got this one from Amazon and last weekend after doing some clean up in my office I noticed a chip out of the tempered glass. I shudder to think what might have happened had I not had it!

I looked at this one and it has pretty good reviews,,,other than the chip has it worked out? Does it fit good and no bubbles?

Yes, it is fantastic protection and relatively easy to just "plop" on.
Is there any real reason why on earth you need screen protector on watch?
Especially when there`s gorilla glass instead of usual.
It`s a wearable device that is mounted on wrist all day long, so there`s no risk of drop at all.

You can still bump your watch against a door or wall which could scratch the watch face. Happened to me with a few watches in the past. Screen protectors are more for scratches than drops anyhow . In the end it's a matter of taste vs peace of mind. No wrong answer here. Personally I always lean towards using one and all my devices still look new after tons of use.
Screen protector
I tried one on but took it off in five min. It was protruding above the frame and didn't feel natural.
It was also gathering dust around the edge quickly and took away from the aesthetics of the watch.
I'll just be careful in handling the watch and enjoy the beauty of the watch at all times, rather.
The regular old school ones I got off amazon work great and you cant even tell it's on thenwatch.
As far if you need one or not, that's just a matter of opinion, ive banged my Smartwatches (Gear 1, Gear S) off door knobs walking down my hall a few times or at work while rushing around, it makes your stomach turn lol, yes the glass is definitely resilient but it never hurts to add a safety layer as long as it keep the watches aesthetics, Lucky I haven't banged my S2 off anything and hope I never do, but at least my screen will be covered if I do lol
have anyone tried the full body skin protector ? im just curious, is it truly invisible or would it be annoying ?

I have this on my watch. I'm very happy with it.
I bought a tempered glass one from eBay, it fitted very well. But it did create the thinnest halo effect around the the edge. So I took it off.
Then thought, I don't put any protectors on any of my other watches and most are regular glass.
I got this tempered glass screen protector on aliexpress. Very happy with it - fits really well and is barely noticeable. I think I read somewhere that it would be slightly too small for the classic though.
I have supershieldz from amazon for last few weeks and I happy with it.
I bought this from amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015X2DG2I?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
Install was easy and I dont even know it is there. No loss in touch or responsiveness.
Got two tempered glass screen protectors off Amazon for about $10 each (Canadian). First one was tricky and had slight halo but that was my own fault. Took it off and tried again with my second one...perfect. No halo, can't even really tell it's on

Hi all,
We all got the HTC screen protector in the box (which I quite like) but I know many people won't/don't use it. Logn shot but if anyone has a spare that they do not intend to ever use can they mail it to me (UK) and I'll drop a quid in the next charity box I pass???
PM for address....
Thanks - Rich
It is nice. I bought a Something Fields one, and it's nice too, but not accurately cut. Would like a new original one, but I presume they sell them somewhere? Saw an unboxing vid of the raphael and it was at least three protectors included AND leather case. Not fair!

You can buy "official accessories" from numerous places, although the prices are IMHO outrageous!
A quick google
eXpansys are selling them as "HTC Touch Diamond Screen Protector ST P170"
I do not use it because i actually dont like the plastic on the glass allready

The screen it self is made of glass. The digitizer (what responds to touch) is plastic as it needs to flex.
The iPhone touch screen has its own quirks. You have to use fingers. Nothing else will work.
I use the original HTC screen protector on mine as the digitizer is very easily scratched, should see the little scratches all over the screen protector though and I am very, very careful with my phones, if I didn't have that they would be all over the main display, so if you have any PPC is would seriously recommend that it's used. The HTC screen protector is great though, don't notice it's there, my finger and stylus glide extremely smoothly over the surface, like gliding on ice .
What would be nice if someone combined resistive and capacitive technology to create something that works with the finger, stylus and nails but only has a hard glass surface like capacitive does and not have that annoying plastic digitizer which is easily scratched. Maybe one day though
Used mine for about 2 days and got fed up with bits of fluff sticking around the edges making it look messy. I just keep the phone in a pocket on it's own and no problems so far. Haven't used screen protectors on my other PDAs / Smartphones in the past and never had a problem.
Depends on the individual I think.

It might be, but I'm not perfectly happy with it. The original one is perfectly cut, but the MF one is a tiny bit "smaller", and bad around the speaker. The nice thing with the MF is that they also protect the camera lens and the hard buttons.

No this has been talked about in a few other threads... imo and many others invisibleSHIELD is awful.
Martin fields are the best IMO as they are the clearest ones i have tried and they and are pretty scratch resistant but do indeed have a bit of a rough cut a good compromise are MOMAX protectors... also v good and clean cut.
Got my invisibleshield just and i just LOVE it! havent seen this good protector before.
does anyone know where i could purchase the original screen protector that came with the phone, mine actually covers both the screen and the buttons...
Any idea where I can get the original T-Mobile MDA IV Compact screen protector from? In fact, any 3rd party make for the MDA Compact IV would be useful to know about. Thanks

Same here. Screen protectors make your phone look ugly and cheap. I just put the phone in my pocket without any other objects as well.
I was just showing off the phone to one of the girlies on reception at work. It didnt respond as quickly as I'd hoped when showing her some pics. So, being the impatient so-and-so I am I chucked it into the flower bed we were stood next to. Wish I hadnt done it now as the bloody screen has a scratch on it...
My advice, if you are going to throw your Diamond into the flower bed, then make sure you put the screen protector on first!!! LOL

Haha, LOL! I recently read a report which stated that men are acting less intelligent the moment a woman enters the room. I guess you are a good example of this
Too bad of the screen though. However, when the screen is on you probably won't see the scratch that much, do you?
Just to let you guys know that I got a clear silicone cover and screen protector from some guy on eBay for AU$3.99 + $6.00 postage.

Although not very glamourous, the cover is great - grippy and stops me dropping it, scratching it etc. The button lights show through the clear silicone. The included screen protector is cut exactly right for the Diamond and not noticable. Totally recommend both.
I mean its gorilla glass 3...
Obviously it scratches but not that easy I've heard and every screen protector I've used diminishes the screen, I had a Zagg HD on this and took it off cause the ridiculous haze it has.
I hate screen protectors and cases.. I always carry my devices naked (the phone not me)..
Never had an issue thus far but I am very careful with my devices..
I have a spigen ultra crystal and I cant even tell it's on. I didnt have screen protector on my s2 and it had a few deep scratches and that was all I looked at, I couldnt stand it so im not going to take a chance especially with a screen like this

and am extremely happy with it. doesn't diminish quality at all. I may get the glass.tr slim and compare the two, but so far I love the moshi ivisor xt
my only gripe with it is that it is a dust magnet at first, but I'm a week in and haven't had any issues with that since the first day or two, so it may have been some static electricity or something
I am SUPER careful with my phones... and I understand the gorilla glass 3 is even more scratch resistant... but I only dropped my galaxy s3 one time, from a height of less than 2 feet onto tile, and it still left a nasty scratch right in the center.
I learned my lesson... I got the ghost-armor screen protector for the s4. Very impressed... they do an awesome job of putting it on for you as well, not a single imperfection!

It really depends on how anal you are about scratches. All smartphones, regardless of their glass, have a thin oleophobic coating on them. Its ehat gives the glass that nice, slipper feeling and what makes it easy to clean with just a swipe. This coating gets scratched relatively easily, but the scratches are really only visible when light is reflected on the screen at certain angles. If you care about these kind of scratches, id say get a screen protector. I posted a thread here noting micro scratches on an S4 demo unit that was only a few days old.
Having said that, if you wear earings with precious stones or have a gf/bf that does....get a screen protector! They will ruin your phone. I had the sapphire face on my watch scratched because it came in contact with my girlfriends diamond ring while walking side by side. If you work outdoors, or are a beach bum, get a screen protector for sure as well. A bit of sand on your fingers or shirt can scratch the phone it you swipe it or try to clean it on a your shirt. I personally think its better safe than sorry.....wrap it up son
Don't have a head full of gas. Cover your glass

If anyone finds any (that will ship to Canada) please post the link. The Tab S will stay in the box until I get a screen protector. I may have to buy a cheap plastic one to hold me over.
I wonder if a Tab Pro 8.4 protector would work?

My experience with these tempered glass protectors isn't good. For one if you bend the edge at all installing it it will never stick down property again. Also, with some time and wear the edges tend to lift up and once they do you can't stick it down again.
You are better off with just a standard screen protector.

For me it's the opposite. I have applied wet and dry film protectors and I find tempered glass is the best. After years of practice I am able to apply these glass protectors so they have no visual flaws. You couldn't tell there was a second layer on the tablet. Since these protectors are more expensive than the plastic film style and they don't come in multi packs, if you have never applied a screen protector, then I would practise first. But a package of cheap protector and get the feel for the application process.
Exact oppressor here as well. I love mine on the note 3
I'm waiting for a tempered glass to show up too (in canada).
Im using a plastic one until I get a glass one next month from china, i'm also promised one from samsung store once they receive them.
i've seen a few from yahoo.hk, but i'm sure they won't send internationally.
I got this one free from samsung store, the brand is A.R.M, it's a hong kong brand.
Quality is good, but I wish they cover the top of the ear piece, oh and these are not the china one's, all their plastic ones are made in japan.

I think this is ugly and looks cheap.
I'm HOPING to find a tempered glass protector that doesn't have halo and isn't cut this way.
If not, I would prefer what I believe is PET (I just know that I don't like thermoplastic polyreuthane).
Normally, I would just end up going to eBay and looking at the cheapest ones on there which generally met my needs in the past, but are now all being cut like the above.
Has something changed recently that prevents manufacturers from having a more precise cut?
Can anyone help me find what I'm looking for?
It's weird, there's tons of properly cut ones for the edge but not the standard S6. I found a couple though.
How about this?

Hey thanks for the links. Unfortunately, I'm in the US.
Is it odd that all these protectors are being cut this way or am I the odd one for caring?
Try these, not glass but almost perfect fit and good price, I would have put a link but i am not allowed to not having enough posts yet anyway its on amazon UK Anker® High Definition (HD) Screen Protector. the other option is the tempered glass screen protector from Remax with the thin black, white or gold line around the outside. Possibly the best option is this from Ebay, I am waiting on it, item number 221796267947

Nope I'm the same. I also wanted a screen protector that would cover all the metal and I don't understand why they're not cut to cover all around the speaker and lens. At the moment, I've got a cheap protector on. It still means that the top area of metal is exposed to potential scratching.

I am the same as well. I got spoiled with my OPO and my tempered glass protector only had a cutout for the speaker. It looked very much like nothing was there. I am not a fan of these glass cut's where they have these giant ass cutouts at the top and bottom. I know you can close it out the manufacturers just don't because it requires much more precision I guess.

I also think that the screens of the devices also require some sort of attention; there needs to be special cutouts so the protector can lay properly. I'm not sure how it works, but you are most definitely correct. I know that with the iphone 6, my wife had difficulty getting one that would lay right; mostly because of the curved edges of that phone.
Just ordered the glass cut out one from eBay UK looks great and exactly what I was after.

Great stuff Do report back with your findings, like if it's easy to fit, does it stick down or stay stuck down all the way to the edges, and does it cover both screen side edges completely. These seem to be the criteria that people often complain about. If so, I'll get one myself.

Here you go:

You might want to consider another protector though.
I asked the person who bought it if it's any good and he said "It stays down but the sticky adhesive doesn't go to the edge so has caught dust unfortunately. I'd probably give it a miss though the cutout is perfect fit.. Shame really"
Moshi tempered glass protectors are the only things I'd use on my phones. For iPhone 6, Galaxy S6, Note 4, etc, they're always edge-to-edge with professionally-looking cutouts. These are sold at AT&T corporate stores.

Now if Samsung ever ships me my damn watch, I'll let you know what I think... lol
Samsung is pissing me off... Pre-order direct from them is a joke.
Hi, any news on this topic? I was wondering if it is really necessary to install a screen protector...
Cheers

They're a cheap investment to protect your watch face, I'd recommend them. I just purchased a 3 pack from Amazon. A lot of complaints about the size but I understand that if it's a perfect fit and they don't position it perfectly that it could come off or break easier.
Or stop the rotating bezel working correctly.
I'll prob opt to go with the wet apply style protector, ie skinomi or something similar. The glass one linked on here looks to be a turd.
Hi guys, I ordered my glass screen from deals&bargain on Amazon UK & it finally arrived today. So far the fit and glass has been superb on my s3 frontier. It leaves a small .5mm space around the glass that isn't ideal as you want the whole screen protected however when i asked them why this is, they told me the reason for this is if the screen did crack it is easier to take it off whereas if the screen was edge to edge it will be very difficult to remove. They had this stated on their description what was a good thing as i read many other seller review and they didn't mention this . I have uploaded images of the glass screen and a link to the seller. Link to seller: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Frontier-Protector-VPUK-Ultra-thin-Resistant/dp/B01LZ6NS3E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480374367&sr=8-1&keywords=B01LZ6NS3E & images here

Here are some pics of the protectors. They do not go all the way to the edge of the watch. There is a millimeter or so gap all the way around the edges. It is OK, but I do feel the gap when I am swiping on the screen. The protector could go to the edge of the screen. The rotating bezel would not interfere.
So... has anyone found a good quality screen protector (glass or film) that provides a perfect fit?
Thanks to share the feature of Samsung gear watch .

This is the one I bought and I will buy them again. Fits perfectly. Can't really feel it when swiping from edge. I can only see it from an angle and I have to kinda look for it. You can feel it with your fingernail on the edge if you pick at it. Doesn't interfere with the bezel at all. It comes with a little suction cup to put it on.
@FreddyFredFred thank you, that's the first one which fits good. But it can't be shipped to Europe. Does anybody sales it anywhere else? I had some protectors from ebay, but there is too big gap on edges.

I've got these
https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B01MYX5AIC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
glass, cut precisely alomost as big as the screen (if they were bigger I could not move them/take them out). Very good packaging.
So just moved from the S2 to the S3. I previously had a plastic type screen protector on the S2, but thinking of going naked with the S3. I cant find any scratch tests or real reviews on the new Guerrilla glass they are using, so I'm wondering what peoples opinions are. I mean Samsung does tout this as a rugged watch so I'm hoping it can take some sort of beating. I'd expect the bezel to get scratched before the glass.
I use a tempered glass protector on my frontier. Bought a three pack of eBay. Super easy to apply and a good fit.
Has not altered the visibility of the watch or the sensitivity of the touch face interaction.
You wouldn't now it was there unless you really went looking for it as it is just a tiny bit smaller that the face.
I use a generic

I am using a generic that I got from Amazon. Still waiting for a Zagg. Good thing I have one as I scratched the protector I have. Could have been the glass.
