I just read a post regarding the InvisibleShield vs bestskinsever. And I was about to order BSE for my Touch Diamond and I came across this on google.
This also seems to be exactly the same skins as the other 2. Is there anybody who has used and can provide some inputs on which one to order? I will have to order 3 skins on BSE for getting the free shipping option.If they are really the same thing, I would order the Gadgetshieldz as ultimately that is working out the most cheapest with free shipping.
Also another question,how easy are these skins to remove ?
I had used my HTC Touch pro for almost two months with GadgetShieldz on it, and it was great. It doesn't affect the screen quality or touch functionality in any way. It was very easy to apply, and it had taken away a lot of my fear & stress out of (ab)using this particular unit although I have already sold off mine. After applying it on my Touch Pro,I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of GadgetShieldz and ordered one for my Nokia N79 and soon I will be ordering for my Ipod Touch 2G too.
I see absolutely no difference between BSE and GadgetShieldz except the price with GadgetShieldz being $4 cheaper. Also if you are a new to this whole skins stuff, Gadgetshieldz provides a test shieldz so that you can get the hang of the film and soap solution.Higly recommended.
Regd the removal, I think all these are fairly easy but I have removed only once when I ebayed my Zen vision M (to make it look new).

Advertisement guys can directly post links..They don't hv to reply in other some threads..So does that imply that all the threads which discusses invisibleshield or BSE were all started for marketing ?? I am just giving my .02$ & trying to help someone in these times of recession simply bcos i hv used GadgetShieldz on 2 of my devices (before which I had used BSE on my devices).
If my posts can save a few bucks for someone I don't mind that at all. So this becomes my 5th post on GadgetShieldz..
Comparison Best Skins Ever vs Invisible Shields vs Ghost Armor vs Body Guardz
you can find a great comparison out here. this is all you need to decide which one is best for you:
http://www.techparaiso.com/best-scr...isible-shields-vs-ghost-armor-vs-body-guardz/
Found these Halo HD screen protectors on Amazon. Come with 3 to a pack and only $5.95. Installation is a snap, and they feel very similar to glass. Very smooth, not tacky and no fingernail indentions. As with all of these dry protecors, they do not cover the entire screen due to the rounded edges, but they do have the cutouts for the FFC and sensors.

Forgot to mention that they also send you another pack of protectors for free just for submitting a review anywhere on the web.
So a lot of these amazon reviews are just there to get a second pack?
Not saying that the product isn't any good, but it still makes me suspicious concerning how much you can trust those reviews.
I have a pack of these. They seem ok and you sure can't beat the price. For this price if I get any scratches or edge lifting I have no problem installing a new one.
Agreed, but to be honest, the instructions do not require a positive review. And furthermore, the insert within the packaging said I have been "chosen" to receive a free pack which leads me to believe that the offer is provided randomly.
All things aside, I have been very happy with my purchase. Even without the free offer, I still got 3 screen protectors for ~$6.00.

Of course they don't.. but as the person doing the review, you would still think that a positive review is more likely to get you a second set.
I get that positive reviews are extremely important, I just think that incentivizing them in this way is less than ideal.

But as I said, all that is required is a link to your review and the code listed on the package insert. If anything, they are incentivizing reviews in general and word of mouth.
Duplicate post. Please delete.
I am looking for a dry applied with oil resistant,
does this really resist oil?
(I don't want a matte tho)

These are gloss but they do not have an oleophobic coating.
Halo Screen Protector
I got 3 of these in the MATTE format and they are very good. I paid only 3$ for the set of 3 but since then they have increased the price to 5$. But still its a very good choice.

They don't require positive reviews. I had an issue with a faulty pack a year ago and left a bad review. They sent me out a replacement for the review and even sent out an extra pack to make up for the trouble. Never even asked me to change the review.
Seem pretty honest and it seems like they just want to get the word out. If you want to see some fake reviews, go look at some other protectors on amazon where the product is all 5 stars.
How would these compare to SGP protectors?
I have the matte of this brand on my phone right now and I absolutely love it. Definitely would not have left a 5 star review if it wasn't deserved. My friend bought the clear ones and gave me the other two although I didn't need 'em, but from what I could tell from seeing and testing it out on his phone, they are of the same high quality as mine. Definitely happy with this product, I got 'em when they were only $3 including shipping though.
I just replaced my halo with SGP. SGP is really nice..... But halo is a bit better. Halo Is slimmer and wider so it looks less noticeable on the phone. Even though the SGP is not as wide, I still have a slight issue with it not wanting to seal on some corners and the edge. Nothing crazy, but again not as nice as halo.
Clarity Is about the same. I would say that the SGP is a tad bit clearer though. Not very noticeable though. SGP feels fairly awesome though. More like the glass. Halo does feel fairly similar.
SGP: tad bit clearer MAYBE, little thicker, feels great.
Halo: covers more screen, slimmer, feels great, cheaper. No lift issues.
I am going to keep my SGP on only because I paid for it band I live the way it feels, but I'll definitely be going back to the halo at some point.

May I ask if the matte screen protectors are oil and finger print resistant? And is it possible to post a pic of the phone? I want to compare how much of the screen it covers versus the SGP. I am planning Oleophobic ones but if it this looks more "invisible" that the SGP's, I'd rather have this.
Thanks!

Oleophobic is clear one with layer of fingerprint-proof that will NOT affect the screen quality (as they said)
matte will always downgrade the screen quality

Thanks for the comparison. I have the SGP protector on right now but I will buy these as backups.

I've had the Halo clear protector for a couple of weeks and I've been happy with it. I'm getting good protection, a clear view of the screen behind it, no rainbow effect or anything like that. Other than in direct sunlight, I don't feel like I'm looking through a screen protector. And in sunlight, I don't know that I'd be seeing much more without the protector. It does take on fingerprints, but that's no surprise.
I found the installation to be very easy, easier than I'd expected. I got it on in seconds and worked out the air pretty effortlessly. About the fit, only a hard protector could cover the whole screen because of its curvature. This is not news to anyone reading these topics here. This protector is just a tad too wide to get a tight seal on the sides, but it comes closer top and bottom. I'm referring to tiny amounts, like 1mm. It's a non-issue to me as long as it doesn't cause the protector to peel back, which hasn't happened at all so far.
Hard to beat the price on this. I'd do it over again without a second thought. I'd considered the SGP and Martin Fields, but to get 4 protectors for this price makes this a no brainer. It's hard to imagine those protectors being that much better, if they're any better at all. And at the low price, going through a few over time is harmless, if it even comes down to that.

I have SGP as well and I actually like these better. While both are fingerprint magnets because of the type of SP that it is, Halo feels more "glassier" if that's even a word lol, than the SGP.
Plus, at fraction of the price and you get 3 of them, it's a great deal.
I've mentioned this on a few threads but I thought I'd share this product with the forum. I have no connection to the manufacturer or this retailer at all. I'm just a customer.
Cybertech 0.15mm Flexglass screen protector.
I searched for the thinnest glass protector that I could find, some were 0.3-.4mm thick. I just saw 0.15mm (about 0.006") and actually didn't notice that it was "Flexglass" and not true glass until recently..
While the thicker glass ones should be better at impact protection, screen scratches are really my concern. After about a month it is doing great with no noticeable scratches. Being plastic I expect that a scratch is likely at some point. It is somewhere in between glass and film style protectors. I has already lasted longer than some pricey films did, and I dislike the marks that fingernails and styluses often made on films, I have a actual glass protector on my Nexus 7 and it feels about the same.
Installation was easy and so far it has remained adhered. I did the tried and true steamy bathroom install to avoid dust specks.
I didn't check it with calipers or anything but 0.15mm seems about right by feel. It doesn't sit above the chrome trim edge at all. It's very thin; it was flexible with a silicone(?) adhesive.
I'd post pics but it is nearly invisible so what's the point? :cyclops:
For &6.49 with free shipping they are so inexpensive I'm probably buying another one just in case. I think I paid a little more a month ago.
There is a suspiciously detailed negative review by a user with only that 1 review. You can make your own call on that...
My experience has been the exact opposite. It feels similar to a bare screen to me.
If anyone else buys/has used it please chime in...
Not sure what he's mad about...its under $10...If you're disappointed, your expectations are a bit high...just my opinion

Yeah that's my thought about it too, for the price it is worth a try. I'm not rich (a wage slave actually) but I'll throw $10-$15 at anything I like the sound of without regrets if it lets me down. But I've seen $0.99 apps get people all steamed up so maybe I'm too easy to please or not frugal enough. Or maybe the internet just tends to bring out the whiner in people.
I've paid $20 for a skin that I peeled off within weeks so I'm pretty stoked to still use this. It has already proven to be worth it's price by my measure.

Why not just write a review on Amazon.com to help more people? You could simply copy and paste this review over.
I am the kind of person who prefer to buy a good screen protector/case then use it until I sell my phone. My last screen protector on the Note 2 has been lasted over a year and still perfect. And it's a non-glass type just the regular plastic film.

I always had issues with films, particularly on my Notes. The stylus would leave marks in the films and make weird reflections. I actually rarely used the stylus for that reason. I've had Zagg and a few other $ brands over the years with varying degrees of happiness. I'll see it this thing lasts.
As for a review I may do just that; don;t know why I came here first. It's kinda been the home of all things Android to me for years now I guess
Available for PRE_ORDER:
Directly: https://www.poeticcases.com/collections/vendors?q=Essential
or on Amazon:
Case, 2-piece, with built-in screen protector. Ugly AF, but less offensive than some of their other cases, and it seems durable:

Screen Protector (only), Tempered Glass, etc., yada-yaha:
https://www.amazon.com/Essential-Protector-Poetic-Coverage-Anti-Fingerprint/dp/B078KJ9PK1/
I'm going to order them, and I'll post a review ASAP. Doesn't look like it'll be available for a few weeks. Stay tuned. Does anyone have experience with cases with built-in SPs?
the temper glass full ahersive or just edge?

Ok, didn't hit BUY. Decided to read reviews of similar (including the same model for the Note 8) and there are a bunch of complaints about the built-in screen protector in the case, and how cheap it is, an air-gap, etc. Pretty much what I imagined, and I'm sure the same problems will be found on this one. May still try the TG screen protector, or may read reviews for their on other phones with curved screens (like the Note 8).

Don't know. But based on the reviews of the version for the Note 8, it looks like it's only on the edges, and there are a few complaints. Though the majority of people seem happy with it. I don't think I'd be happy with a gap between the screen and the protector. May get it anyway, I'm waiting for the 20% off coupon from signing up to their mailing list.
I think, after finding very similar cases by other companies, with very similar ad designs, I'm thinking this is more of the same junk that pours out of china, that's just rebranded and packaged when it gets to the states. I'd love to be proven wrong.
It's probably only the edges. I'm curious as to whether or not the camera and sensor holes are actually cutouts.
