Sprint's Key liquid screen protector - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories

I got my Note 9 a few months ago and the guy at Sprint sold me on the Key brand liquid screen protector. So far it's held up well but I don't give it much room for getting scratched anyway. But it still looks brand new. I would love to not use a case at all, but don't want to worry about drops. Are there others that have used this?

I'm of the school of thought that all liquid protectors are scams. The only possible good that could come from it is the warranty that pays for your screen when it gets cracked.
Just my thoughts, and the thoughts of all the techs I've talked to....

Warranties like that aren't worth the paper they are written on. Liquid scratch protectors are snake oils.

Verizon AntiGlare Screen Protectors. Worst ever?

I have to say, these are the worst screen protectors I have ever applied on any sort of electronic equipment. Picture quality looks like garbage and it feels horrible. The matte finish makes them feel gritty and a pain to use the phone. Cheap eBay screen protectors work better.
Anybody else used them?
I bought them. I'm stupid for doing so. Rocking the Zagg now. I guess I feel smarter...
Yeah. I never bought them. I received the Fascinate in a trade and the person included an extra. At first I thought they were just horrible at applying screen protectors but then I applied the spare and it looked exactly the same. :/
My friends all have Verizon Screen Proctectors for their phones, and I have to agree, they look like complete crap. I've just been recommending Steinheil and Reallook to them, and they ask why, and I show them my screen. Almost invisible, its like the screen protector isn't even there, and my friends are shocked.

Zagg is worth it. Really is an "invisible" shield. Can't even tell it's there.
Sent from my Supersonic Desire HD using XDA App
Ehh, Zagg is ok. Really comes down to personal preference, but Zagg's matte look and feel isn't really what I would want in a screen protector. Steinheil's Ultra Crystal Clear Protector is amazing.
The Anti-glare screen protectors are garbage no matter where you get them from. I ordered some from ebay and LUCKILY I ordered some regular screen protectors as well and after about 5 mins with the anti-glare I took it off and trashed it and the others and put a regular one on.
Also, the mirror finish screen protectors are bad too
Yeah. That whole matte feel is not my deal. Honestly, cheap eBay screen protectors have been fine.for me with a perfect application and I am very picky about this stuff. I use invisible shields for their body shields though

Agreed bought them when I had my Droid x and have to say "anti glare" is deffinately just a marketing ploy. If you take them back and tell them their crap they will give you a refund. That's what I did. I only reteerned two
OMG yes! Worst purchase I have ever made.
Why am I the only person who doesn't use screen protectors for this exact reason? I like my amazing AMOLED to look amazing.

I too dont have a screen protector on mine even though i bought some and have them sitting in the desk..for some reason i think they will interfere with the sensitvity of the screen.
i made the mistake of buying two packs of verizon's screen protectors when i bought my phone. they were on clearance and i know why after trying one. they were horrible. i was reluctant to buy them even being on clearance after having sensitivity issues on my Rogue, but i figured if nothing else it would protect my screen until my online order of protectors showed up.
i use screen protectors that i bought off some random seller on ebay and they work fine. i get about 5 months or so of use from each one. very clear and no sensitivity issues. i dont know how necessary protectors are with the particular glass on Fascinates but i dont want to learn the hard way. i forget the protector is on there most of the time.

Exactly! But does everyone know that the Fascinate comes with Gorilla Glass, which is way tougher and scratch resistant? I am using mine "naked" so far, and no scratches yet.
So the screen looks great!
Anybody had any bad experiences going naked? (should I reword that? I don't want to hijack this thread!) Just looking for warnings about not using a screen protector.

I'm actually considering taking mine off, although the girl at Verizon actually did a good job of putting it on and mine is clear so I can't even really tell that it's there. But I definitely have more scratches on the screen protector than on the area around it (yay Gorilla Glass) and I'm wondering if the screen protector collects more fingerprints than the glass. Anyone know about that? I know some phones have oleophobic coatings but I'm not sure if the Fascinate is one of them.

The fascinate is not one of them, at least from my research.
I have thought about going naked. I am using the Steinheil Anti-fingerprint protectors for a number of reasons. I am sure no one here would like them because they degrade the screen quality but I love them. No finger prints, no glare, 2x faster finger motions (heh yea) across the protector vs. the stock screen.
I'd image that the screen is much like a car windscreen. It will look great for years to come but over time fine micro scratches will build up.
the screen protector they put on my phone came off by the time i got home from the store. heat must have warped it, and would no longer stick. ordered a different one online

[Q] Screen protector or not?

i read some where that this phone doesnt have gorilla glass and I believe them now. I usually dont like screen protectors on my phone cuz its lowers the quality of the screen and ruins responsiveness. So I had one on my sensation but because of the curve I kept getting bubbles I took it off and from only puttin the phone in my dress shirts pocket only I've already gotten a scratch!!! WTF my g2x would be in pocket with keys and change and no issues this was babied and in less than 12 hours of no screen protector i noticed my first scratch, I mean its fairly small but im just very anal about my phone. Which is why ill be gettin another protector and why I believe this phone does not have gorilla glass. Anyone else have this issues?
I thought I read that the Sensation DOES have Gorilla Glass.
yup - was going bukkey nekkid until I went to wipe the screen and it has a tiny little scratch on it. Have no idea where it came from. Bought the Skinomi protector the same day. Still not using a case yet.

It does have gorilla glass. Also, I've been using it nekkid for a month and by cleaning it every week, my screen still looks new.
Edit: you can see that it has gorilla glass on cornings website.

if it is gorilla im not impressed none of my other phones scratched so easily i love going nekkid i honestly hate cases and screen protectors. How does the skimoni fit the screen? Do the curved glass give it any issues? I did check the cornings site and saw that it was, but idk this phones screen is made by two companies and I have a hunch that those made by sharp arent scratchin and those made by acer are.
Now that would suck to have the non-gorrilla glass version because you have the bad screen maker.
I bought a case and screen protector at Tmobile after receiving my phone by mail, because they sent a "1/2 off" accessories coupon in my bill, then it was 20% off in-store if you purchased both. So together they were like $22, came with 2 screen protectors. Have no idea how long one lasts.
I can assure you mine has gorilla glass, been amazed at how resilliant the screen is and how after month when I wipe it still looks bran new.
When i turn off my phone and the screens clean and I angle it at a light the screen looks kinda bumpy, my friend said this was the gorilla class. Either way its very good for me no scratches at all.
Oh and gorilla glass is an official spec from HTC, maybe you have faulty unit

Guys officially the Sensation has gorilla glass. Look here http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/htc

I have no screen protector and so far (touch wood) no scratches either.
It's not magic though, so keep it out of the washing machine...
Officially gorilla glass is more scratch resistant than normal glass, it's NOT scratch proof. I don't have screen protector, and am extremely careful with the screen, but I have a couple of tiny scratches, which are hard to see and don't bother me at all.

Always naked
My personal experience, this is my first time having a phone without screen protector, I have always been using a Full body shield protection but I decided to go bare all the way this time, it feels good.... from day 1 since the Sensation came out, never had a single scratch on the screen. I'm always careful about my phone though. just my experience.
Yep, as the link posted above shows, it DOES have it. But it's not scratch proof, it just has a higher scratch resistance.
Personally I don't use a screen protector. If you look after your phone, you shouldn't get any scratches
this isnt my first gorilla glass phone and im telling you guys it has now been 24 hours phone hasnt left my side has sat on my work desk and my shirt pocket with nothing else and i have even more scratches maybe mine is faulty. I really think that the differing screens might be the reason but a lot of people are reporting it and I promise you nothing touched this phone I have no idea in 24 hours its been scratched more then my 2g iphone, 3gs, hd2, mt4g, atrix, and g2x. Im thinkin bout going to tmobile but I know there is nothing they can do for me.
My phones have spent entirely too much time face down. Compared to my last phone (POS Feature phone)on which I could barely read the screen at the end of the contract, This new phone/GG screen is a godsend. my condolences to those who got gypped.

As far as i can comment... all of us have a habit of shifting fones once in 2 years to new ones.. So using a screen protector thats tested by ppl is advised as when u gonna sell out this toy for new one the first thing that will shatter the resale value will b the screen status...and as far as my xperience no probs with screen protector from day1 and got it from ebay many gud thin protectors available...."Precaution is always better"

I have skinomi on, no problem with curved glass as its wet application, it sticks to the glass perfectly. No issue with responsiveness either..works great. The microbubbles do not disappear quickly though, i had it for 2 weeks now and it still has 3 microbubbles left..it keeps getting smaller everyday though, it will soon disappear completely.
And you have to apply it in a dust free room, mine has some dust under the protector..little annoying when the screen is off.

Isn't the Screen already scratch resistant, so putting this on would be overdoing maybe? Or does it do more than protect from scratches??

That's what I'm wondering... This phone uses Gorilla glass I don't know if its worth getting a screen protector
I had an Evo for about a year, so did my daughter. Both has Gorilla Glass, never had a screen protector on either and never any scratches at all.
I always set mine down, screen side down so I wouldn't scratch the back
So, no need for a screen protector in my opinion. But, that's just how I am rolling with mine.
Some may not need it. Some people just want it. I, myself, always had it on my iPhones and my previous SGS2. I like the texture, I have better control since the glass is a bit too slippery. The ZAGG also bumps up color and contrast (imo, you can tell the difference on my iPhones). Those are my reasons.
Also gorilla glass doesn't mean its indistructable. It may survive keys in a purse but not from drops or things being dropped on it.
ordered one also
Have not received. A bit worried it will distort the screen clarity. Anyone get one on yet? I have had the captivate and moto phones and all have had Gorilla Glass but I always used a screen protector. Usually use best skins ever but they are not out yet. Used code ZAGG20 on checkout and took 3 off.
Yea, they're very nice (my opinion). I haven't see any discoloration in the last 2-3 years with Zagg. The image quality is crystal clear. And my touches register much more than without it. I guess I have very dry finger tips.
I've seen the zagg only once a long time ago. Does it still have that bumpy orange peel texture?

I used to swear by them but after awhile I got sick of lint sticking to parts of it that would come up a little. Plus I prefer a naked screen feel and just a think case for the back now. Might get one though just for the backside until a good matte case is available.
if I install 1 and let's say like 3 months later I don't like it,is it easy to remove the shield and liquid and bring it back to normal?

Any problems with Gorilla glass?
I was told that with Gorilla glass the use of a screen protector may make it difficult for the screen protector to stick.
I find this hard to believe since it should stick to any glass. At the mall the sales guy actually told me to pass on this because Gorilla glass has a chemical breakdown that is different than normal glass.
That may be true but- but has anyone had a problem before with InvisibleShield on a phone with Gorilla glass?

Screen Protector

Anyone can recommend any good screen protectors at a good price? I don't mind paying extra for good quality. The verizon ones blow. Makes the screen look VERY pixelated. Trying to avoid purchasing a screen protecter like that.

Yes you should make a search through the forum next time but since this thread is already up..
I highly recommend a ZAGG Invisible Shield screen protector. It costs a little more but its absolutely worth it. They have a model for each specific phone so the protector molds around the camera and corners perfectly. It comes with a whole method of putting it on so its smooth when you finish. Plus if you register the screen protector on their website you can pretty much get a replacement for free if anything happens to the protector which isn't likely but still (too scratched to see the screen or something), plus if that happens it peels right off so you can put another one on and the screen is good as new. But its pretty epically scratch resistant, you can check out vids on youtube or their website. I can't stand when my screens get scratched, so I've been using it for years, very happy customer. They sell them at best buy.
Thanks for heads up guys. Much appreciated

These. They have great reviews. I am very happy with mine. Doing it's job well since July 2011. And it comes in a pack of 3 in case you mess up. And it comes with installation instructions. And, for giving them a good review, they offered to send me a pack of screen protectors free. So I got a pack of iPhone covers for my parents. Great company, great product
BTW if you mess up, soaking it in rubbing alcohol works great for removing dust and then you just try again and squeegee with a credit card.

It does have gorilla glass. When the phone originally came out it was on corninggorillaglass.com under products with gorilla glass. Now since it is old news it is off the site, but seeing as every major samsung phone is there like the GS, GSII, note, tab, and wp phones, I am sure the charge has it.

Without screen protector, you droid Charge will get scratch. Already happened to my daughter's phone.
I have never managed to scratch a smartphone screen, Gorilla Glass or not, and I've had smartphones since the original iPhone. I hate screen protectors of all forms. I hate the way the look and the way they feel, so I've never used one for more than a few days. I don't think I'm particularly "gentle" on a phone...the only thing special I do is keep it in a pocket by itself. I've seen other people's phone of various builds covered in scratches, and I still don't understand how they get so scratched up.

Doesn't matter what type of glass it has, it can get scratched. And not having a screen protector doesn't mean it will get scratched either. The Charge does have Gorilla Glass, but I wouldn't go around testing it out to see how tough it is. Odds are there are minimum hardness specs that it needs to pass, so some pieces of glass are harder than others.
I had mine in my pocket with keys for a year, no scratches. the plastic is scratched to heck, but the glass remains unscathed.
the charge has gorilla glass making it very scratch/crack resistant. i havent had a screen protector the whole time ive had it, which is about 10 months and it still looks brand new. and trust me, ive dropped it my fair share of times, infact i just dropped it earlier today. had it in my sweater pocket while i was riding my bike and it just flat out fell screen first onto the concrete. not even 1 little scratch.
just dont bother with a screen protector, it looks so much better without one.
but if you really are hell bent on getting a screen protector i can recommend Zagg, i had the enV Touch before this phone for 2 years with a Zagg invishield on the whole time. it kinda got that "rainbow" effect from the grease/sweat on your hands but it was very durable and scratch resistant with a nice fit. overall a perfect screen protector for my needs.
So everyone brag about how tough the screen on the charge, how would you explain to me there are 3 scratches on my daughter phone, which forced me to buy a screen protector???? you all claimed it "UN SCRATCHABLE".
I think you're the only person who's used the word unscratchable, but I did imply that you have to be careless to scratch a glass smartphone screen. Keeping my phone in a pocket by itself, and no other protections, has protected my screens without a screen protector since the original iPhone in 2007. Yes, there are situations where a screen protector would make sense, but in those situations, I'd probably rather use a case/holster that completely covered the screen.

Screen protector necessary?

Hullo,
I just ordered my Nexus 4 :victory:and I'm wondering if I will need a screen protector for it, or if I should be safe.
Currently, I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G (NOT S4) and the glass on it (Gorilla Glass, I believe?) is perfect. I have not gotten a single scratch on it without a protector of any kind, and I work in a machine shop with metal chips and dust all over the place. My old Galaxy SII got scratched before I even brought it to work, however, so I know some of these are super fragile.
I'd love to know peoples' opinions on the matter because I don't like putting a protector on if I don't have to!
Well I have had my phone about 7 months with just a bumper on and both the body and screen like its brand new
Saying that I work in an office, so its less likely to get as scratched as your place of work!
Not necessary but highly suggested. Why risk it? Small scratches won't affect usability but will affect resale value.

I usually just throw on a clear screen protector, SGP is only brand I buy for screen protectors now.
Highly recommended.
At first I thought only 1 screen protector would suffice, but when I went out a lot and stuff just came in to my pocket like sand, dirt, etc, my screen got scratched (because of the sand, went to the beach), so I removed it, thank god the scratch is only on the screen protector. Now I bought 3. When I remove my screen protector, my N4 looks like it's brand new.
I agree with ibarra .. Buy it to be safe

Every phone needs a protector and the rear needs one too to avert future damage or collisions with surfaces. Resale value is better maintained in pristine condition, this is why I hate seeing used devices looking as if they just returned from war.

for a couple of bucks you protect the screen on the $300+ device .Absolutely, yes, sir.
Not worth it if you're a very safe person. Theres gorilla glass for a reason, but if you're not a careful person.... sure why not.
Mine has been naked since December and the glass is fine. I do have a dent in my bezel, but I fell asleep with the phone in my hand and it dropped. A bumper would have prevented that, but no issues with the glass even with the drop.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
If you have ever kept them with other things in your pocket, etc, then yes, it is highly recommended. If you have ever dropped any of you phones, then get a bumper or full body case as well.
I always use screen protectors and cases and I highly recommend others to do the same. It isn't worth scratching or damaging your phone in any way. Better safe than sorry, and honestly, any cheap old screen protector will do.
keep factory screen protector for the back or buy a case, the front is fine if u take care of your phone and not put it in the same pocket as ys and everything else
Nope. Ruins the feel of the device honestly.

So, just a quick follow up..
I ended up purchasing a Skinomi screen protector to be safe, but after having it on for a day, I hastily removed it based solely on the look and feel.
I have been running my phone with either the official bumper or my Ringke Fusion case and no protector and everything is still beautiful!
