Are these any good? How are these in relation to Zaggs, or its close competitors?

Just ordered mine been using it naked since i bought the one from Tmobile and returned it. Not that i think i need it but just because shes on the pill dont mean i wont strap one on still.

Thanks just got one! hopefully it'll be better than the invisibleshield

Just got mine in and Meh ill give it a few days , nothing beats a naked screen but this has a bit of a studder with swype and sorta like Zagg.

ugh, i hate screen protectors period.
NOthing beats the feel of the naked screen

I dunno, the Zagg I had on my G1 had much more of a rubbery feel than this one. Doesn't affect the color or clarity noticeably either.

I tried Clearfreak on my Vibrant and had to take it off after two days. Just too much change from that perfect Samsung screen. It degraded both the look and feel.
Tried Realook based on recommendations on this board, and it is by far the closest to naked I have even come across. The thing really is that amazing.
Being a nOOb I can't use links, but a quick scan of the Vibrant Accessories forum will give you pictures and ordering info. $10.99 for two includes shipping.
FWIW highly recommended.
Enjoy!

Raw dog FTW! Wait, I thought we were talking condoms....
I bit for 2 more ClearFreaks, even though I have a one on now - good to have backups.

I just ordered two, thanks for the tip

I might buy one of these. I want to protect my screen, but I do prefer the screen naked, but for $4, it won't be too much of a loss if I don't like them. Might as well bite.

I just bought two of them, I hope they turn out ok! If not then I might end picking up a reallook one. I hope everything turns out ok though.

Anyone know how the ClearFreaks compare to the Realooks? After further testing of the Realook it takes some sensitivity away from the capacitative buttons but not the display its self.

I had Clearfreak on my first Vibrant. Had to send it back in for having defective home button. As replacement screen protector I decided to try Realook.
They are completely different products. Clearfreak is much more along the lines of Zagg and Phantoms. That slightly rubbery feel never goes away.
Realook is dry application, easier to finess and de-bubble. Best of all its the closest feel to factory glass you'll get.
Finger-print wise, Realook also wins hands down. I did notice a very slight decrease in button sensitivity, but not noticeable enough to make it an issue.
One tip for super-clean install is to use clean room environment at home. I used to do that when I had to swap hard drive parts. Run a hot shower for 15 min, keep the door closed. Let it build up steam, that will clear the air of most dust and lint particles. Turn off water, and let the room clear out for 10 or so min, don't bring in your electronic equipment in until you are ready to work. And keep in mind that most surfaces will be damp. That will pretty much get you cleanest environment outside of real labs.

I'm using clearfreak right now but I picked up some realook since everyone has been raving about them. I haven't put them on yet will probably do so in the next day or so. According to their instructions you should use a spray bottle and spray air then wait 4 to 5 mins.

I put my clearfreak on this morning and so far im not digging it. I thought it wasn't supposed to feel rubbery but it does. Although it doesn't stop swype from working, its not near as slick as I had hoped. Not only that, but the damn thing matches the size of the vibrant so closely you have to align it perfectly not to overlap the edge of the screen.
Based on what I've seen online, i'll probably just end up removing it once I can't tolerate it any more and leave the screen naked.

now that it settled in i will let it be for the week, got a near flawless installation but one small speck under my back key some how got under the protector. This might cause me to rip it off as is but i will give it a good work out this week to see if it feels any different. This is much better than Tmobiles screen protector however i feel it still messes a bit with the clarity of the screen.

LOVE my $1 XtremeGUARD screen protector!

Got this screen protector from Amazon for $1. Ordered Friday, got today. Not bad! Anyways, it was $1! I had a little squirt bottle of solution from a Zagg I had on an iphone and used it to apply. Went on great, feels thick but not annoying thick and sticky like a Zagg. After the solution dried, it looks great. Anyways, did I mention it was $1?!
http://www.amazon.com/XtremeGUARD©-...FR0Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1302064917&sr=8-1
does it have those really annoying lines when viewing a white screen? my Zagg does that and it's really annoying
I don't see any when looking at white on here... just the usual **** from the screen itself
XDA: 12 HELPFUL PEOPLE AND 1584641849682579451694.5 complaining, ignoramous pansies.
Awesome thanks for that, i wanted to replace my zagg anyways
Extreme Guards are nice
This is a great find IMO. I've been using this specific screen protector since the 2nd or 3rd month of using my phone. I got mine off ebay and thought i got a good deal at the time but it wasn't $1 + FREE SHIPPING!!
I use cases everyday went from generic to BodyGlove to currently Otterbox and the screen protector has held up well with only minor smudges/indents(i put one on my sisters vibrant at the same time, she does not use casses everyday and you can tell cuz the screen protector has smudges all over it LOL). This is my first "wet" screen protector and all in all im half/half on it.
PROs -
- REALLY love the clear crisp look. This thing really lets the phones awesome screen show off to its full ability!
CONs -
- getting water around my phone makes me scared!
- a little more difficult to install than normal "dry" type screen protectors
- the smudges/indents are permanent its almost like "wet" protectors are thinner and softer
thanks again for this awesome find!
Wow thanks for 1$ i guess ill try it
I went ahead and picked up 3 of these (just in case I messed up the install). Grand total of $3, with free shipping. They came in the mail within 2 days, not too bad.
Anyways, I had the Tmobile branded screen protector on my Vibrant since the day I bought it (and having used the 2nd to replace the first when it wore out). When I took the old protector off, I was blown away by the quality of the phone display. I forgot how awesome it was since I got used to using the screen protector. I carefully put one of these on it, and I have to say that there are no bubbles, and the screen maintains the same quality as if there was no cover on it at all. This protector blows the tmobile branded version away and it also covers the "buttons" at the bottom of the phone, which were left uncovered by the old protector.
Having now tried these out, they are WELL WORTH the price.
You can't beat $1, and they work well and look very nice. You almost can't even tell there is one on the phone.
Anyways, that's my 2 cents, and I'll recommend these to anyone that asks.
I also have this screen protector, and it's realy great !
I bought this too and it was a horrible screen protector.
I bought one of these based on the reviews, and so far I'm disappointed. There appear to be multicolor streaks all over the screen when it's turned on, as if there is grease all over it, especially when the screen is white. Anyone else have this happen or have a solution for it? This makes my screen look horrible.

It tends to start out like that, but clears up as the moisture between it and the screen evaporates.
I have applied 2 of these now and have had no issues whatsoever with them.

True but compared to my old zagg this one looks still greesy and scratches can be seen D:
Hey guys, I recently bought one of these off Amazon when I ordered my Otterbox case, it was only $2 so I figured I had nothing to lose. Here's my take on it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19109961#post19109961
For those of you complaining, you probably just didn't install it right. I've had mine for a long time and I love it to pieces. The screen is bright, clear and unscratched. It doesn't get in the way of using the touch screen either.

Zagg InvisibleShield for EVO

So I bought the InvisibleShield for my EVO (I'm guessing about a month and a half ago) and it get's realllllyyyyyy dirty looking with usage. I'm also not too fond of the way sliding my fingers over the screen feels, I think it's taking away from the touch screen experience of the phone? Is there any way to clean it so that it looks like a regular screen again and not some clouded screen protector? I almost want to take it off but I paid 15 bucks for it and that would go down the drain
They will get brownish over time man. I thought zagg was the bees knees but they're really not. I ended up going through 2 of them both full body shields I spend about 27 bucks a piece on lol. First one I peeled off because I got anoyed just like you are, second one I pulled because the touchscreen just wasn't smooth anymore. What a waste of money right? I don't like that the zagg makes the screen less responsive so I've learned to rock a naked screen. No case no protection just bare naked phone. But you're correct I definitely agree on it making screen less responsive. There is no way to clean it or at least I don't think so. I will never use one again.

Just get rid of it. I've rocked my evo sans screen protector for since December and I've not no scratches on it.
I bought one and returned it the same day after install it. I thought it was crap. It made the screen feel rubbery.
I just have a Seidio case on it and that's it. Not a single scratch since release day.
Yeah I feel like I'm going to have to ditch it here pretty soon. I thought this protector was the best. It may be the best at protecting the screen but it ruins the experience of the phone.

I know I said I would never buy again; well I bought 1 2 weeks ago for my MacBook pro (80 bucks full body) and its already black/brown. I definitely will never buy zagg again lol. The evos screen is coated so it wont scratch just sitting in your pocket. It will take alot to scratch it. Naked screen is the best.

I have thought about taking mine off....only have screen but I am just too paranoid about the screen
Well I bought my evo 2 days after it came out, and up until 2 months ago, I never used a screen protector and the screen never had one scratch on it (and I kept it in my pocket with nothing else in the pocket.) My original screen suffered from the "B" spot and I eventually got a Sprint repair store to replace it for me (after trying 2 other Sprint repair stores.) Since I received a brand new screen from HTC I wanted to make sure it was protected, but judging by what others are saying now, it seems like I don't even need a screen protector.

sounds like you got some greasy @$$ hands. stop eating chicken and such.
EDIT:: I have had a screen protector on my phone for 335 days. The first one I had ended up folding up in a corner due to my own behavior, and I got one the same day bc of how clean my phone looked when I took the original invisible shield off. (i showed no mercy on my phone, it has been dropped, put in back pocket and sat on, put in the same pockey as keys/needles (j/k), and even tested the effectivness of it on the old protector (keys to the screen like a b!t(h)
It's not turning brown or anything, its just blurry and it gets dirt sports on it and then I have to rub really hard to get them out, it just looks dirty overall, like spots all over it. And on a white screen you can see all the streaks from where I slide my finger to unlock it, scroll, etc.
I had a Zagg also but didn't like it for the same reasons as you. I now use an HTC screen protector I got at Radio Shack. Its a little pricey but its still in almost new condition and I do dusty construction work for a living. ( I use it in conjunction with a seidio ext. rugged).

I just did the same thing with my xoom. I had the thing on there for less than 24 hours, just couldn't stand it
Zagg shields are tough as **** but they take too much away from the experience of using the device. And now that OEMs are making screens out of magic scratch proof glass the shields are unnecessary, imo.
I actually took mine off and the screen feels wonderful....just hope I don't scratch it...even if I do I have a backup and insurance I guess
All of those type of protectors will feel different than the screen. The best one I have used was the bodyguardz. It didn't have the orange peel feel to it. And they have them in dry apply now so no more liquid on your phone.

Ghost armor has been pretty good actually. It's smooth and all. The fingerprints don't come off as easy as when I has no protector. It also scratches easy (but they go away). I had a couple of small scratches here and there on my screen, it filled them in, can't see any of them. The shield is getting kind of gunky around the edges though.
Kind of a toss up...I think I like the idea of applying a Ghost Shield after you've dinged up your screen from mishandling it in your pocket for 5-6 months. Makes it look cleaner, and doesn't feel too bad IMHO.

Warning about ATT's new screen protector for captivate...it SUCKS!!

So when I bought my captivate I bought the ATT screen protector and it was very nice.
If I were to leave a mark due to hitting with my nail on the screen, the mark will slowly disappear back to normal. It was also full size all the way to the home button etc.
After many months I decided to replace it as it was coming off on the sides but the quality was still great.
Well, first red flag was that the new version is no longer full size. Only covers to the lower part of the actual display area but I was assured that it was the same material...
Yeah, same material my A$$! That thing sucks...it became a mess of horrible screen patterns like I was looking at some Nasa Mars photos or something.
I took it back and the bastards wanted to charge me $5 bucks to replace it again!
I express my deepest feeling in some not very forum appropiate wording and left.
Bought an invisi shield even though opinions are mixed about it and so far I love it.
Screen looks perfect with non of the horrible patterns I was getting with the ATT ****.
Just a warning.
Regards
Yeah, I'm using a invisishield
Had one since day one of phone purchase. No complaints.
Love my otterbox too
that sucks I was thinking of getting one, thanks for the heads up.

If you can find the original one (full lenght) you should be fine but if it is the small one run away from it. I couldnt take that more than a week.
The invisi-sheild is pretty good I had one and loved it, but I just replaced it with the ATT screen shield last week and mine comes all the way down and covers my buttons and is actually a pretty decent protector. Maybe they were out of stock and gave you one that 'works' for your phone. The rep did bring me the wrong one initially....
That's not good. I HATED my InisiSheild. The ATT screen protector was the only screen protector I've been able to stand.
Good thing I have two spares...

Agree on the Zagg. It was absolutely terrible, but it was free, so I can't really complain. Anyway, I gave up on screen protectors altogether.
Screen protector? What's that? Lol. Seriously, I've never used one and I've dropped my phone face down on both gravel and pavement. My screen still looks brand new. I think screen protectors on these phones are just a waste of money, and I hate the idea of having another layer to distort the image.

The old AT&T screen protectors are the best compromise I've found between the crystal clarity of running naked, and having at least some protection.

This.
I don't know how you people keep saying after months of screen protectorless use, your phone looks brand new.
I went protectorless for a couple months, and after that short a period of time I picked up a few noticeable scratches. They aren't deep enough to be seen in use, but they are there.
I'll keep my screen protectors. Can't really tell the difference anyway.
You agree with a post that is stating the opposite of what you are saying? That is cool LOL
If you want the original At&t protectors, search for the brand Real Look. One of my packs from At&t had the Real Look branding on the stuff inside the pack. I also suggested Real Look to a buddy with an iPhone 4, and when he got his, it's the same great material.
I will never use another brand of screen protector as long as Real Look makes one for my phone.

I don't know if I just got a bad batch, but the ones I got from AT&T a few months ago suck. Really rainbow...y and they have the annoying hole for the proximity and light sensor.
Had my captivate since July of last year, 3 days before release. Never used a screen protector and when I wipe it off it looks like I just peeled the DONT TXT AND DRIVE thingy off. Guess I'm just lucky.

These are the Real Look screen protectors. I find that the rainbow effect disappears when the screen is on, so that is really not an issue. Also, I don't really think the cutout for the proximity sensor is that bad, it's a really small area that is barely noticeable, and I'm sure probably is there for a reason.
To me, the Real Look screen protectors have an unbeatable finish for keeping clean, smooth, and even scratch free. If you like the natural feel of gorilla glass, give them a shot, because these really do feel like the gorilla glass when they are clean. IMHO, they have the best scratch resistance of any crystal screen protector that I have ever used on any device. In the past I used matte screen protectors because I always hated scratches in glossy ones, but these have solved that problem.
I'm not trying to flame, I just think it's a bit unfair to be that nitpicky about a great product. Did you notice any of the positive qualities of these?
I dont know what brand it is but i use the screen protector that came with my otterbox. didnt use on on my first captivate, could definitely see some marks on screen, no problems with one in place.
I have also used Realook brand protectors. I thought they worked really well. The only reason you could tell I was using one was the horrible job I did installing it. They say they are washable and reusable, but after trading in my phone for a warranty issue I decided not to even try to reuse it. I just ordered a new one. $10 for 2 of em. I almost wasn't going to use one and I read a post from someone who says that he can see a bunch of microscopic scratches on the glass from keeping it in his pocket. The way I see it, I would rather cover it and not take any chances.
Go to best buy they have a military grade polyurethane they wrap around your phone it is the best screen protector phone protector ever

Best Screen Protector?

So after a month of having this phone, I have decided that it is an absolute beast and has been made even beastlier with the hardworking developers on this site. However, I have (somehow) obtained a few scratches on my screen and as a result, have decided to invest in a good screen protector. My ideal screen protector is one that takes away minimal feeling of the "glass" on the screen, while simultaneously keeping the phone looking fresh and sharp as if there is nothing on there. In the worst case scenario, I'm looking to be able to cover up my current scratches, and then prevent future ones.
If anyone has any recommendations that would be great - thanks!
Just get the zagg at the tmobile store it looks weird the first day but give it 24 hours and it will be perfect. Also use the foursquare app to check in and you will get 30% off the screen protector. Oh and it comes with a lifetime warranty.

To be honest I have no idea. I have not been in a 50 mile radius of any sort of sand since I got the phone, nor have I ever dropped it or anything like that. The only thing I could think of would be that it got scratched while in one of my pockets? Although that is pretty unlikely since I always give my S2 its own pocket..

Look into Realook. It looks and feels like it isn't there. If you look at my phone, you can't even tell it's there, covers the entire screen as well.
Realook is so perfect there is no way of knowing that its there. Only thing is its not as oleophobic or anti fingerprinting as it says. But all premium protectors are like that too - even though they advertise elsewise.

I had bad experiences with realook, with its own squeegee scratched the screen protector. And i didn't add alot of pressure, they sent me another one but i eventually had to get a refund because it was just so easy to get scratched. Remember my personal experience maybe others had it better than me, but the only two companies i would go for screen protectors is SGP(real good quality and great customer service) and Zagg(lifetime support).
I just put a reallook protector on mine and it didnt come with a squeegee. The instructions said to use the cloth to rub out the bubbles. Putting it on took some real effort though. About 30min into the process of application (i just couldnt get it aligned right) i dropped it sticky side down on the floor. I had to spend another 20 min cleaning it off using scotch tape but it ended up going on fine with no dust. It works great. Ive only had it a week though so i cant comment on the scratchproofness.

I discovered this ebay sp supplier when I was a Sensation addict. They were the only ones that I found that would fit the Sensation's curved screen. I have since installed them on every phone in my household. I put that bleeeep on everything! They are a dry install product, superclear and not rubbery. I have paid many times more for equal or less quality product.

I had to spend another 20 min cleaning it off using scotch tape but it ended up going on fine with no dust. It works great. Ive only had it a week though so i cant comment on the scratchproofness.

It only took me about 5 min to get it straightened up and applied on. Then maybe like a few seconds to get the air bubble out from there. Didn't get any dust/lint on the SP so for me it was perfect on the dot. Even if you look at it under the light, you won't know it's there. There is only one small tell, by the earpiece that you can see it's there
+1 for Ghost Armor. The local mall has a kiosk where they apply it for you...and only $5 to have them replace it. Best screen shield i ever used, great value, highly recommended

Just get the zagg at the tmobile store it looks weird the first day but give it 24 hours and it will be perfect. Also use the foursquare app to check in and you will get 30% off the screen protector. Oh and it comes with a lifetime warranty.

Worst advice ever, well perhaps not but definitely not a protector I would recommend. The problem with the Zagg invishield is that its very rubbery and more times the coefficient of friction will be too great to even enjoy doing anything on the phone.
I have the SGP ultra crystal and I'm very happy.
Had a zagg on a previous phone and didn't like it as much as this one.
Here is a GREAT ONE!
This one is very good quality, its also VERY cheap, I ordered 2 of them which is a total of 4 Screen Protectors,
Its Crystal clear, feels great on the fingers and doesn't feel cheap.
Perfect size, no cutting required an theres holes for the FFC and Speaker and stuff
Its absolutely great! and only 2 dollars (free shipping) for two of them!
I seriously can't even tell i have a screen protector on, it came out perfect!
Last but not least, there ya go!

A.R.M Screen Protector SHORT review

Hey guys,
previously I saw people post a thread about the A.R.M screen protectors.
I went to their site at armstation.com to see if I could purchase one and it seemed that they havent really started their internet sales yet.
So I emailed them asking about it, and they said to leave them an address and they will ship 2 pieces for me to try out.
AND HERE THEY ARE!!!
arrived today, which is approx 2 weeks after my emails, so kinda slow, but alright.
Now, ONE THING. THE PACKING ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKS SPLENDID!!!
but....when you open it, there really isnt anything, just one little screen protector.
I gotta hand it to them though, the packiging must have been worth more than the screen protector it self.
Usage:
I haven't really gotten to put these on yet cause I just recently sent my phone in for repairs. But from the way they feel, compared to the XO Skins which I have handy. They simply do not match the craftsmanship of the XOs.
ALSO, compared to other crystal screen protectors, this one, had only one layer to take off, which really troubles me, but I guess this is one way to lower the budget.
(EDDITTTTT: There is a second layer to take off. But according to dothedyu (Thanks), you have to take it off with tape @@)
Anyways, if this thing sells for less than $5 bucks, I'd say it's worth it, but if it goes beyond 10, ehhhhhh....
This is really a brief review as I really couldnt test anything else out. Anyone who ordered these and have put them on feel free to share ur opinions.
Dont know whether they still offer samples, but you can always try.
Nough said, this really just widens our selection of screen protectors, but really, i ll stick to my XO.

Actually, there's a second layer to take off that doesn't have a tab so after you take off the first layer and put it on the phone. It'll still look hazy. So use a small piece of tape on the corner and peel back and the top layer will come off revealing a clear, thin skin. It actually looks really nice!
what I want to know is how resistant to smudges and oil is it??

confirm if it has orange peel? i had the crystal one that came with the diztronic rev 3 case on, and it had soo much orange peel at an angle, i felt nauseous looking at it.

No orange peel. Dry applications don't have em. Does has streaky rainbow effect at angles though.

Has terrible rainbow effect and is way too thin. I can't really complain for free, but I'd be pretty bummed if I had paid a decent amount of money for them. The generic crystal protectors from VZW are better quality IMO. Only real advantage to these is the edge to edge coverage.
