Hey guys just bought my Triumph and waiting for it to come in the mail. I was wondering what the best screen protector would be for this phone. I'm considering the Rocketfish at best buy so I think I'm set on the case. I remember my friend had an iphone protector and it was a glossy look and feel rather than they smooth one. I really liked the feel of that one because my fingers never stuck to the screen. Well all opinions would be great thanks guys.

With reading that discussion, do you think the full protection is good enough to replace a case for the phone or would you recommend the Zagg screen protector with the Rocketfish case?

Personally I hate cases.I have seen the full body ZAGG on one phone and that was like 2+ years ago on i believe a voyager... I didn't think it was bad and If I would get a "case" for my phone that's what I would get. My girlfriend has the MT and she got her case at bestbuy for like 15 or 20 bucks. It's not a bad little case and it doesn't bother me when I use her phone. She also had a ZAGG on it which is the only screen protector I've ever used. But I messed up putting it on her phone and she took it off and threw it away. The ZAGG was only like 12 or so from bestbuy.
Here is the case that I bought. I love it. The silicone keeps it from slide no matter where I seem to place it.
Silicone Case
and then I got this screen protector.
Skinomi
I have used the Skinomi skins on many different products and I love them. The whole self healing thing is pretty amazing and works great.
ZAGG is the way to go for sure. I've tried a lot of cheaper ones and all of them messed with how the display looked or felt while using the touch screen. It's worth the money.
You know that Triumph comes with built in screen protector, don't you? Mine does not show any signs of wear after more then a month of active use and little regard to how my phone is handled.
Just saying...

Thats exactly what I was going to ask. I read that someone removed that factory screen protector and put a new one on because the response was delayed with the factory one and a new one. Anyone else deal with this?
You could always get a Best Skins Ever. It's exactly the same material as the Zagg shields, and it's much cheaper. I've tried both, and they're both fantastic.

Yeah I love the silicon case. Is there a privacy screen protector for the MT?

I just started using this phone, with no additional screen protector since it comes with one over the gorilla glass.
If I do get one I would look into Skinomi. I use it for my gtablet and it works great, I have had it on since the beginning of the year and traveling around with no problems so far.
I personally use ArmorSuit, much better response than stock with the same material as Zagg at half the cost.
The best screen protector I've had is no screen protector.
I dropped my phone and scratched the factory second film. After that, I've been naked

My best screen protector has been (for me) the cheapest one! You can find them dirt cheap (a dollar or two) if you search around. But if you constantly drop your phone, I would get a higher-end one, like Zagg or something.
Too many fingerprints. Too much oil. Inhibits the use of Trace keyboard. Have to be wiping it down multiple times per day. Sticky, rubbery feeling. I'm done with Zagg InvisibleShield. I will never buy one again.
Sigh....now that my rant is over, does XDA have any suggestions for a better screen protector?
I'm looking for a very thin, unnoticed-type of screen protector. I don't want one that significantly alters the look and feel of my HTC Sensation 4G screen.
I don't need a screen protector that is heavy duty or anything like that, I'm more worried about feel and screen distortion as opposed to screen protection (I never put sharp objects to the screen of my phone )
Anti-fingerprint preferred. Well-known company preferred.
Any help or information will be greatly appreciated, and I'll be giving out thanks to all that help. Thanks XDA!
The solution to your problem is Skinomi.
It's very perfect. No yellow-ish tint. No sticky surface. No fingerprints.
It has the same installation method as Zagg.
Give it a try.
+1 for Skinomi. Have had it on my last three devices. Screen still feels like glass and it doesn't smudge nearly as bad. Much easier to apply than the Zagg as well. Protector is a much more stiff so its easy to place properly. When done well, hard to tell its even there!
If you buy on Amazon there are a bit cheaper. Think I paid $8 for mine. Or if you use the skinomi site, use skinomi25 for 25% off at checkout.
Skinomi?
I have never heard of them before. Is it kind of like a "barely-there" type of screen protector?
EDIT:
Their TechSkin looks like the same kind of stuff that Zagg InvisibleShield is made up of, but I'm sure I'm wrong.
I'll have to check it out.
I would say that it provides the same amount of protection as the zagg just doesn't have the tacky feel to it. Also much easier to install. To me the zagg always seemed 'floppy' and hard to place well. The skinomi is a bit more stiff. Try them out, I'm sure you'll like it!

lol, that's true. seems like a "scratch auto-repair" screen protector. WTF
You guys managed to scratch yours?
The only thing I've ever noticed are small dimple like impressions on it from things pressing up against it. Usually works itself out in a day or two.

I'll have to check out skinomi. I've been using bestskinsever as they're quite cheap, but the replies here have me second-guessing that choice.
Update: I bought BSE and Skinomi.
Currently I have the BSE on until it pisses me off. Definitely better than ZAGG, but I'm tempted to put on that Skinomi TechSkin that has been sitting in its package.
Do you recommend Skinomi TechSkin or DryTech?
I have ishieldz, its great no problem for 3 months now? Has warrenty if it scratches
I just got my one s and don't really have the money for the warranty. After reading around I think the BALLISTIC SG hard cover case is the way to go but I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on screen protectors. I'm looking for some cheap ones w/ anti-glare. Any thoughts about invisibleSHIELD by ZAGG?

Yup, I tried Zagg just because I got their headphones for $10 if I bought the shield. I took it off after a week, the orange peel affect is horrific. I also noticed it was a lot thinner than Ghost Armor, not sure if that's matters in normal situations though.. lol

I've just purchased the BestSkinEver screen-only protector.
had the full phone BSE skin on my N1, and couldn't fault the protection.
It did peel on the corner pieces, which is why I've gone for the screen-only one this time.

Hey y'all, noob here, just got my One S the other day, and just got my Diztronic case from Amazon today, love it! Those screen protectors that come with it are crap tho, and was looking into the Ghost Armor. I've had unpleasant results with the Zagg shields in the past, and the Ghost Armor seems to be pretty popular.
One other question, is anyone using the full-body GA skin in addition to a regular case, such as the Diztronic or Incipio? Just curious. Thanks!

I've never had the ghost armor full body, but I did had zagg full body and it didn't peel up. Once you let it dry it sticks pretty well, just don't put a case on it for at least 24 hours maybe more to let it dry.
I'd imagine Ghost Armor would be better, their screen protector is soooo much better than Zagg's.
I actually need to get a replacement from Ghost Armor, for some reason the bottom part keeps wanting to come up.
I´am using the antireflex protector from mumbi and i´am very happy with it. Feels good and looks really pretty.
how it looks GhostArmor Clear for the back ? any pic ?
i'm surprised no one mentioned htc's own screen protector for the one s. there are a few sellers on ebay from uk selling them. i picked up a couple awhile ago for about USD$9 shipped.
Got my Ghost Armor (screen only) today, and just applied it. Took 2 tries, but I nailed it on the second attempt, got it perfectly lined up. I've been going back with the little squeegee and squishing out some of the smaller little bubbles over the last hour or so, and as long as you get the squeegee wet, it works pretty well to smooth out the little guys. So far, I like it a lot, doesn't have that rubbery-drag feel of the Zagg I had on my G2, or the orange peel. I'll report back in a day or so to update.
krusell
I got a KRUSELL screen film for my one S a couple of days ago and I'm thrilled with it. It is completely transparent and does not affect in any way the brightness and colors, and it doesn't have that squeaky feel.
I had an invisible shield on my previous Desire for about 8 months, it's good if you are a frequent phone dropper but if not it makes your screen uglier, it's like heaving sweat on it all the time and also affects the touch sensitivity.
All in all, would definetly recommend the Krusell.
Alright, so I made it about 5 days, and I think I'm ditching the screen protector. Yes, the peace of mind of the added protection is nice, but to be honest, I'm not really worried about it enough to keep this. I had my HTC G2 for almost 2 years, which didn't even have Gorilla Glass, and by the time I sold it, it had ONE hardly noticeable scratch in the top-left corner of the screen.
The Ghost Armor goes on relatively simple enough, but in 3 applications, I've found it impossible to keep at minimum 2-3 specks of dust out from under it when I go to smooth it down, which create a bubble you CANNOT get rid of, and I can feel them under my fingertips when scrolling around on the screen. For someone as anal as myself when it comes to things like this, these make my head want to explode. I'm also noticing around the edge of the film (which doesn't extend all the way to the edges of the screen, and I find this to be really lame), it's gathering dust and finger... gunk. Finally, and I might be alone in this, but I think it takes the sharpness of the display away. Not to a hugely noticeable amount, but it's there, and it bugs the hell out of me.
Any nice cases that are comparable to outerbox but with a lens protector?

I tried the 'Greatshield AG' (product title on Amazon below, can't link since I'm newb.) - 3 pack for like $7.
Sucks. Feels and performs great, but causes a pixellated rainbow 'shimmer' on the screen, highly annoying. Might try some of the others in this thread to see.
Avoid these.

I think all matte protectors do that to the One S, I've tried a few different types and they've all been the same.
I've never used it before, but I've heard good things, which is making me consider buying a full body protector. My question is this: who's used one, who's going to be getting one, or if you're opposed to the thought of it, what would you recommend?

Don't you guys like XtremeGuard? Which one would you recommend, XtremeGuard or BSE or Skinomi?
I recommend Armorsuit or XOskins. Armorsuit is available on Amazon and XOskin here. XOskin original price is more expensive but they are good but use 55% off coupon code cybermondayftw on XOskin when you checkout and today is last day for the coupon code. Hope that helps. I have heard people complaining that other screen protectors was missing the cutout for the proximity sensor but XOskin has the cutout so I ordered XOskin. I don't know if Armorsuit has the proximity sensor cutout or not but I know their quality is good because I have used them before too. Hope that helps.
I guess I'll be the odd man out and say I'm really impressed with ghost armor. I used it on my gs2 and my gnex and plan to get it for my n4 also.

I feel the same. Ghost armor feels just like glass and I've never had anything close to the orange peel feel on my nexus one/S/Gnex. I just received my shipment from ghost armor for my nexus 4 and can confirm that the glass feel applies to this phone as well. Going to get it installed at the mall kiosk because I'm so bad at it. I can report back if anyone is interested

Defeats the purpose a bit, I know but it's got the TPU case on it and the edges (volume and power button side) cannot be felt, nor is the screen protector affected by the case (unlike my GNex - the POP! case is really tight)

i also have a tpu case on top of my full body ghost armor, but one side is a bit stretched out and wont fit 100%... nothing really noticeable !!
I put ghost armor full coverage on me and my girlfriends phones and she would just toss the phone in her purse and there would be no scratches when we went and got FREE replacements at the ga kiosk there was no scratches on the phone. I'm probably going to order one today... Possible two sets of full body protection

--wrong thread---
I can vouch for the quality of Ghost Armor. Used these screen protectors for all of my devices. It adds good protection and just the right amount of "resistance" to touch, all while maintaining excellent clarity considering the durability of the material. Good scratch protection and self-heals most of your typical little scratches. I currently have one on my N4, and I am not disappointed at all. The guys and gals at the booth do an outstanding job applying it, and you have a lifetime warranty on it. Can't beat that.
I can also vouch for the quality of ghost armor as well. The camera and proximity sensors are perfectly cut out, and it feels just like glass. It has a wonderful texture and clarity unlike any other screen shield I have used before. I have a tight case on and it doesn't peel at all. Their warranty system is excellent as well, a free replacement if your current one peels/dents (I have yet to experience this). If you do go for the replacement, you may want to bring in your old screen protector if you peeled it off, as the mall stand near me requires that you bring it in order to receive a replacement.
One thing I dislike is that it doesn't cover the curved edges on the right and left sides. I hope they will fix this in an updated version of the skin, but otherwise, to me it is the perfect screen protector.
I also recommend these guys. Outstanding product with a lifetime warranty. I had the screen protector put on my Nexus 7 about a month ago and I am just as happy with it as from day one. Since then I've had my wife take her iPad Mini in for a screen protector as well. Certainly worth the money spent, although I can't vouch for the skins.
I'm sorry if there's already a thread. I'm really looking for one that has good quality and good feel to it.

Depends what you like in a screen protector. It seems to me that there are 3 main types of screen protector: matte/anti-glare (smooth to the touch, less smudhes/finger prints) , clear/hard (ment to feel the closest to the original screen), and rubbery (usually wet application, sometimes has an "orange peel" effect). I personally prefer the rubbery texture under my fingers, and I always use Xtreme Guard. Theyre wet application, provide great protection and are far less expensive than Zagg (2 dollars on amazon vs 20 dollars). As far as dry application clear ones I actually really like the ones that come with Otter Box cases. And as far as anti glare I would definitely go with Spigen. Hope that helps

Installed one of these on my dad's Galaxy Note 2 and was incredibly impressed with the amount of shatter protection this provides to your screen. It was very easy to apply, and is actually glass. Watch some of the videos available on the site. Only available for a very finite list of devices (S4 included), I ordered one last week on back order and am expecting it to arrive on Friday.
