Recommend me some good screen protectors

I still have the original plastic film on the screen from when I bought the phone but it's starting to peel off on one edge. Can anyone recommend me some good screen protectors? I would prefer it they do not smear and don't distort the screen in any way (colors or clarity). Thanks for any help! Loving this phone.

I'm in the same position. I went to ebay and purchased this extreme guard for $3.99 with free shipping.
It was sold when I found out the material is for protecting exotic car paint jobs...

One word for you homie: ZAGG

You know, the one from tmobile isn't that bad. I was skeptical at first, but its easy to put on and I am actually satisfied. I took it off once to reposition and then peeled various parts back to get dust off of the screen and its stuck like it was brand new.

Yeah I'm trying to find a good sp before I get my G2 also. There's a few threads here already and the Vikuiti sp has good reviews but I'm waiting to see if someone can tell me if it's better than the Realook sp. I had the Realook one for the Vibrant and it was great, couldn't even tell it was on (aside from the ocassional fingerprints).

i Have the ones from T-Mobile, a little high in price at $14.99 but if u mess up you do get 2. You also get a screen cleaning cloth. If you like to use Swype then ull love this SP! it makes it super easy 2 swype. Fingers never get stuck to it and its a much better SP than the ones for the Mytouch / G1. iF u can find a friend whos buying a G2 u guys can go half on the pack at that point its 8 bucks a pop. Not bad.

You guys should really try the ZAGG i posted, it's the best screen protector you can buy in my opinion:
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php

I'd like to find one that isn't "rubbery" at all. The one that came with my wife's MT3G isn't "scratch proof" like the rubbery ones, but it's nice and smooth and doesn't give the "orange peel" texture and distortion to the screen. I really don't mind if the SP get's scratched, I can always replace it! I just want an experience that is as close to no SP as possible.

Not the color but clarity. Just ever so slightly though. Makes this kinda grainy. You really won't notice.

If you both need OEM cases, then there is a deal at T-Mobile stores where if you buy 3 accessories, you get everything for 30% off. It would make the screen protectors about $10 (and the cases between $17-20-ish).

I don't mean to be a troll, but why do people need cases or screen protectors? You can try to scratch the screen with a razor and have no luck. I've never used a case or a screen protector, and all of my past phones still look new other than some slight paint rub off and one has a tiny dent on the corner from dropping it 8ft. All glass is 100% scratch free, even after many drops. What are you people doing with your phones???

I think I could keep my screen scratch-free, but to be honest I just simply don't want to risk it. With every phone I've purchased, I've thought I could keep from dropping it, but shtuff happens. A scratched screen is highly annoying. I'd rather have a screen protector and never have to worry about it.

I have a bad habit of dropping my phone, usually on hard, unforgiving concrete. The last thing I want is to damage or scratch up my case--especially during the 14-day buyer's remorse period.

I've used martin fiekd overlays and its pretty awesome.

I dont know about you, but when i sell my phones, it usually helps when the screen looks next to new. Tiny scratches develop over time whether you like it or not, so a SP is good to use. Plus, i dont know who fed you the information about glass being 100% scratch free because it is not.

I was saying my glass on my used phones are 100% scratch free. I have sold many phones on eBay after using them for 2 years. Their screen all looked "next to new" despite never using a SP.
They seem like a good idea for a female that drops her phone in to an over filled purse, but my phone is always alone in a pants pocket or sitting on a table/shelf/etc. I have dropped my phones multiple times, but thankfully none of them have ever got a scratch from it.

The best SP I have found to date is the one from T-Mobile. It's anti-smudge, cuts down on glare and has a great feel to it. I paid $15 for 2 of them.

Does it have a glass feel to it? I ordered one from a good business and it feels very much like glass I just don't like the way it fits on my g2. The corners looks as if they're going to peel off.

[Q] XtremeGUARD Screen Protector/ FULL BODY LCD Screen Protector Case

Hi Guys,
Just wonder any1 using it, review, especially the FULL BODY one?

Built-in Screen Guard
I live in India, and "I think" the P500 here comes with a screen guard. There's this plastic screen which seems to be layered over the black screen bezel on my phone. I tried chipping it, and the edge of the plastic did seem to come off. So how do I know for sure.
Its highly probable the Indian version comes with a screen guard, since we pretty much get a fully loaded phone, along with 40 odd apps (Incl NDrive and Layar) and support for Flash 10.1.

i got a zagg full body protection and to me thats the best buy...i have it on my devices and quality is superb. also doesnt have that rubbery feeling and residue i get from others.
i swear best 20bucks i spent.

Ordered a full body from Zagg, thanks for the tips!

But there isn't optimus one on zagg. Is cover for optimus T equal to optimus one?

$5 is too much? Shipping is for free (to czech it was)

I just finished installing the full body protection, allthough the buttons and the silver binding aren't protected, is this normal? Or did I forget to put on something.
Also the squeezee tool you get for leveling the protector actually scratched the protector.
This isn't much of a big deal but kinda strange that a little plastic could scratch this millitary-grade material that easely. Did this happen to anybody else?

Holycrap, how did your P500 come with support for Flash 10.1? Mine also came with a screen protector, I'm in Australia. I thought all phones were supposed to come with them as long as you buy it from a reputable shop? On the top left of the screen protector, there's a square cut out and I have absolutely no idea what its for lol. But its the original cover and I've had no problems with it so far.

Well i just put on the Zagg Full Body Protection and now just leaving it over night to let it settle down. But yea looks great so far and i'll post some pictures in the following days for the end result.

Lol I'm from India and no we do NOT have flash 10.1 support, it just says so on the box and now newer models ship without that flash thingy written, so yeah.

The plastic that comes with the phone its just a temp protector, after a while itll peel out, start losing stickiness, become annoying, etc, its the same that covers every electronic screen/glossy part, a thin annoying film
My Xtremeguard arrived a few weeks ago, so far so good, applying it is a bit annoying but meh .

Scratches on my screen/lens

Anyone know how to fix or do they sell just the outside screen replacement?. Single mine got a small nick on it before I could poor Mt lense protector on.
Sent from my Triumph using XDA App

You might wanna try some scratch repair for glasses, then put some Ghost Armor on it. Also the MT has a stock screen protector on it, it looks like part of the screen but it's not, & it works alot better without it. Did you already remove it ? & i'm not talking about the peel off plastic thats on the phone when it comes out of the box new.

They might sell lenses for the camera, but I'm not completely sure. Check around ebay or you might even contact Motorola and see if they can send you one.

Screen durability?

I've had an invisible shield hd on my screen since day 1..The protector started to fall apart so I removed it.. And the screen is so much more responsive..
How have your guys screens held up against scratches?

Quite a few threads regarding this already but the general consensus is the screen is durable but something like sand will scratch the screen quite easily.

I don't believe in screen protectors. IMO its like a fast car why drive the speed limit when you can really have some fun with it? I have yet got a scratch on my phone and its been a long while now.

Just be careful of sand.

Yeah, sand is the devil.

There is a YouTube video claiming to be some dude poking his hox with a steak knife. I have an XtremeGuard condom on my screen and it feel fine. I can't take good care of my stuff (e.g. Keys in same pocket as phone) so I am not taking chances.

Not that Reliable
I used my HOX without screen for more than a month but from no where came a couple of scratches. Not from Sand. May be from my keys. I have no idea and I still feel bad for not having had a screen protector. Now I have a screen protector but I can still see the rainbow effect when I see the scratch through the screen protector. Please get a good screen protector if you cannot be extra careful with your phone.
My wife's iPhone 4s has gorilla glass 1 and no screen protector and not a single scratch is yet to be seen. I was expecting Gorilla Glass 2 to be more scratch resistant but I am really disappointed.

It's the oleophobic coating that is getting scratched. I dont think this was perfected in gorilla glass 1 so they may not have included it.

I will never use a device without a screen protector. Gorilla glass or not, glass is glass and plastic is plastic; they all scratch. Even diamonds scratch so I personally won't take chances.
I have Ghost Armour installed on my devices and everything works just as good as naked. If you already have scratches, try GA anyways, they claim to be able to fill scratches.

I don't see the point of using them....they scratch up real quick and then the protector looks like crap.....for the lifetime of the device you are spending money to keep the screen mint.....end result.....outdated cellphone with mint screen....still equals worthless.

my exact opinion, either that or u protect ur screen like a maniac so the next owner scratches it for u.. nice job keepin it safe for the next owne ;D i still use a protector cause i plan on keepin this one mint till the One X + comes out cuz i wanna get the most $ i can get out of it

Every phone I have had sinve the windows mobile days have had screen protectors and many cases and extended batteries.. I think I have wasted more money on that crap then phones. lol not to mention the countless hours rooting and flashing roms to the point where the wife thinks im crazy. anyway just got the X and so far its naked and stock.. I have told myself this time. im gonna use the phone as a phone and not worry bout the little things outside of a case etc. not gonna root it or use a screen protector.. guess after 9 years of buying crap and rooting etc.. I need a break. and the one x so far has been great all around.. and the screen rocks naked. feels so much better.. bah anyway rant over... back to work.. lol

I currently have a screen protector on my phone and I hate it. However, I was noticing micro scratches on my phone that also drive me crazy. Like others have said, it is in the coating on the glass but they are permanent. At least with a screen protector, I can swap it out every couple weeks.

You might only have experience with cheapo protectors. A good quality one (Skinomi and Bodyguardz are ones I've used) does not change the look of the screen at all. A quality protector is also difficult to scratch. I've had a Skinomi on an HTC Flyer for over a year, and had a Bodyguardz on my Desire Z for a year and a half, both with no prominent scratches, and protectors still looks close to new. Maybe some superficial scuffing visible in just the right light, but completely invisible when the screen is on. Good protectors also show fingerprints much less than the naked screen, so they actually end up looking better than no protector.
Some people on here have gotten some serious scratches on Gorilla Glass with normal use. Others have claimed no use even after significant abuse. Everyone's experience tends to be a little different.. But more than a few people have showed up on here with bad scratches, wishing they had used a protector. So that is the point of using them. And once you have a scratch on the screen, you can't undo it.
There is a slight difference in feel with a protector. For some that is a legit deal breaker, for others the difference is negligible. Using a protector or not is a very personal choice. I'm totally with you that phones are meant to be used. I don't baby my phones at all. Have never used a case. But I prefer to use a screen protector.

Screen Protectors

Anyone know of any good screen protectors for sale? I typically get mine from SGP (www.spigen.com), but they don't seem to carry ones for the RAZR HD.
The ones I picked up from Rogers aren't very good and hence I am looking for alternatives.

I'm a believer in Wrapsol products. I used to put InvisibleShields on everything, but for the past 2 years, I found Wrapsol to be much better since it doesn't show fingerprints.

Looks like SGP is not planning to make any protectors for the RAZR HD/RAZR HD MAXX due to a lack of interest.
I would suggest that if you are interested, please get on their FB page (SGP Facebook Page) and request that they do make one.

Lol how can they gauge interest so soon? The phone has only been out 11-12 days.

I'd assume it'd be enough time to gauge interest based on customer requests as well as general market buzz. Most folks here have no idea that Motorola has released a phone called the RAZR HD.

That's a shame. Just started seeing commercials for it a couple days ago.

Has anyone seen a screen protector that is "minimalist?" What I mean by that is that you can't really tell if it's there, (no cutouts for sensors or FFC, smoot glass-like finish). I saw a buddy of mine's Zagg protector for an Evo 4G LTE, and it was great! Can anyone using a Zagg for their HD/Maxx HD post pics of theirs? Thanks!

Hi, I'm using Cellutown full body protection - honestly, best i've had so far.

Are you using the codefireX ROM on the Motorola Razr HD ? Is it compatible ?

Any more recommendations on a durable, scratch resistant and properly cut screen protector that doesn't lift around the edges and will work with the Diztronic TPU case? Prefer dry over wet installation.
SGP doesn't make one for the Razr HD. Was going to order Halo from Amazon but they don't ship to Canada. Zagg HD had some bad reviews about scratching easily and Wrapsol just went out of business. Bedifol's 3M Vikuiti ADQC27 seemed like it would've been perfect with the shape of the cutouts and the anti-reflective yet still glossy surface, but I've read that it's cut too large for the screen (doesn't account for the beveled screen border and lifts at the edges).
Lol. Suggestions?

I have zagg installed at best buy when I bought the phone and my fingers are usually greasy and dirty... Never leaves a scratch I just wipe it off with my sweater made of 100% cotton and the screen looks as good as new.
